In the event of my flight coming down out of the sky, I want this guy to be the pilot, didn't work for me so put some ham and lettuce between the screen and phone and ate it.
Thank you very much for the video mate. I have just managed to fix my phone (which was run over by several cars, both the back cover and screen were completely shattered!). Bought a new back cover and screen then watched and followed your video instruction, worked a treat. Thanking God for your life! May you be successful in all your endeavours!
thanks so much for filming this, i just replaced my broken display and rear glass panel. you really do have to get these things hot! my front glass was very badly broken so i figured i would be breaking it further removing it but i had no idea... it came off in 2 pieces, probably because i was not heating it enough tho. great video, allowed me with very little technical knowledge to diy this, save a few bucks, have some fun, and learn something. thanks again.
I don't have a Samsung or even a cracked screen and yet your voice and details kept me riveted for almost 20 minutes.... With your Ross-esque-ish-ness you painted Happy Screens before my eyes!
Thanks for making the video mate really appreciate it, just bought an s8 with a broken screen for cheap and needed to find a video of how to replace it. Very clear instructions and this helped a lot.
@Fix it Planet, I just learned something today that may be important to other DIYers. In a small percentage of S8 phones, the screen won't turn on until you fully assemble the phone. When I tried to attach the new screen to test it like you showed, mine wouldn't turn on. So I took it to a repair shop, where the technician put the rest of the logic boards together and then attached the screen, and it worked perfectly!
Yes that's true the logic boards at least need to be fully assembled when testing. Also the antenna caps and NFC antenna may need to be attached when testing or you might get errors with the battery temp and maybe other anomalies. Good point.
I been a electronics Technician for 45+ years. Videos like this one is great /very informative . This way I know before tearing the S8. Apart I will know for sure what to be careful , etc . Thank you ! Nice video for sure. Your voice is hypnotic. I went into a deep trance! LOL! Really!
Thank you so much for sharing this video! You literally saved me $100's of dollars! I was able to fix my S8 for the cost if the screen. Yes, the shaft fell out on me as well and I didn't know where it came from but luckily you mentioned it in the video and it went right back were it belonged. This video was so detailed and with step by step instructions that I was able to fix my own phone at home. I really thought after taking the screen off I had destroyed the phone because mine didn't come off as easy as yours did but like you said in the video that the screen is already toast so don't worry about it. Thank you again. P.S. Subscribed and hit the bell!
Hi I know if been a while since you post this comment but can you please tell what was the name of the screen replacement did you use and where did you bought it from? Thank you
Fix it Planet, you are the best👍 you really nailed explaining how to replace the glass, with a easy voice, not hollering and confident how you did it. The way you showed how it's done, anybody could learn from you. Thank You Fix It Planet!!!! Now I can get my kit and fix my Samsung Galaxy S8+ cracked glass.
Thank you for the positive feedback! Will be uploading the Galaxy S8+ in a day or two from now. A lot of those screens are sold with a frame too otherwise it's very similar.
the screen replacement i had was the screen and frame. All i had to do was swap the internals into the new screen/frame, and all worked out well. Thank you for the tutorial.
I'm here to warn everyone who has a broken s8 to NOT upgrade to an s10! Get your s8 fixed or upgrade to an s8+ or s9. I got myself a $900 s10 and hated it. It felt almost exactly the same as the s8 but the fingerprint scan is TERRIBLE. Not worth the price in 2019. Do your research if you're going to upgrade. $300-500 for an s8+ or s9 is a far better purchase.
@@glen3103 I ended up getting an s9. It's GREAT! It has everything I wanted out of the s10, but the great finger print scan of the s8. Highly recommend s9
With the new updates my fingerprint scans nearly every time with s10+, Retina is so fast to unlock though the phones open before I even need to use my fingerprint.. definitely a huge upgrade from my s8 and even s9+ and you would notice to if you out it through heavy use playing a high detail game or running many apps at the same time
Used to have an s8 for a year and a half. Bought my s10e for 400 bucks. It was in like new condition, and honestly I like my s10e. I'm glad I didn't pay full price though
Can you answer this question ASAP? I broke the protective glass on my s10+ but the touchscreen is completely fine and the device functions as normal. I found a replacement on amazon for $30 and am wondering if that is all I need for the repair. Is the digitizer in need of replacement as well? Thank you so much!!
Really nice video. Everything was super clear and your can see everything. Does the order of the screws make a difference or are they all the same length?
Did this for 30 for tools and the LCD screen, "professionals" do this for 250 up, but in reality we are all professionals with TH-cam at our fingertips
@@TheBrainSquared Yes I believe I can do it too. I'd rather fix it myself then give it to anyone who do anything with my phone. I believe it just need a good and clean setting with a good strong light and yes anyone can do it. But not everyone is confident to do it.
@@myme8208 You can only gain confidence by jumping into the deep end with these tasks. Baby steps will get you no where when dealing with electronics. It looks technical, but it aint that bad.
I got to the actual screen replacement before I realized I bought a glass replacement without any touch/digitizer attached 🤦🏻♀️ thank you so much for the guide thus far! Will continue the rest of the process in a week or so
Watching this on my broken s8 screen which my husband accidentally dropped. I wanted to do a DIY but changed my mind. Will go to the service center tomorrow.
Thanks a lot for your help, just gave a refresh to my mother's phone, I'm an auto mechanic but i like to try out new types of repairs every now and then. Very good tutorial all around.
Glad to have came across your video sir! I am replacing both front and back after having an S8 without using a cover for a couple years now. Don't worry, I'll be getting a cover after this. Either way, I got the front and back off, and the fingerprint reader is off the back plate too. Being very gentle with all of it. Have enjoyed the process. I'm not sure why at least one other video recommends to basically completely disassemble the phone to put on a new screen. But anyhow, Happy Holidays, and thanks!
Thank you! I bought new glass and digitizer and the video provided wasn't cutting it. Came here and voila! The phone is fixed, although certainly not as tight as it was before...Lol
Worked great. Phone's fixed...other than the fact that I shattered the back cover getting it off. Every slip of the pick would snap another section. But, with a little bit of ingenuity, I was able to reaffix the camera covers and fingerprint scanner with a bit of duct tape, replace the screen and it works like a charm. Left the back screen off and put it in an Otterbox Defender. In short, this guy is worth what he charges. I'm fairly meticulous, but he makes this look much easier. Still glad I gave it a go. Not perfect, but works perfectly. :) Thanks for sharing this video! It helped a lot!
Much respect for your work on this video here. Subscribed to your channel and I will be rewatching your video a few times while I'm waiting for my Samsung Galaxy s8 Front Screen Repair Kit to arrive in the mail. I am 100% going to be using your video for my guidance & inspiration while repairing my screen. Thank you for all your precious help here on this video!
This video is not a "glass only" repair. The gold colored piece is the part of the display that shows image. You are witnessing the separation of the different layers of the display assembly.
Thank you for posting this. It is such a good and thorough and educational video that I have decided not to do it myself! Too many wires and other little thingies to break. Decision time: live with it broken, or got to Verizon?... Thanks again, really!
Thank you for this video. I followed along as I replaced my screen. when I first stuck the new screen down it was slightly off center and nearly had a heart attack as I pulled it back up to reset. but happy to report a success.
hi great video ! how long did you put the phone on the hot plate and what temperature please if you can help . im new and i don't want to burn or destroy the battery
I've just cracked my screen and it's the only way I have contact with anyone your video is very helpful and I've found a replacement screen and kit for it and the video will help me to sort it out as it's going to cost me 209 pounds
Many thanks. I saw another vid where the guy replaced the front glass only. It looked like a LOT more work. Cheaper perhaps, but more challenging. This video will be very helpful when I can afford to buy a replacement screen.
I'm going to repair the screen on my old S8 so my son can play with it. Going to put a full enclosure case on it so hopefully he won't crack the screen like he did my S10 plus I'm currently using. Thanks for the tutorial!
If you break your glass you get to live with it or you have to buy the full glass+amoled+digitizer combo for $250 or more. Companies that sell the front glass only for ~$30 is a total SCAM because there is NO WAY to replace the glass only. The layers are sealed together and to separate the glass from the other two is 99.999% impossible as it will damage or destroy the super thin amoled LCD. Even high end pro shops with $100,000 worth of autoclave and freezer machines do not like to attempt it and most now refuse to because they know how difficult the process is. So if you break your phone, either live with cracked glass or get a new phone because for the cost of the parts plus labor (or even if you attempt this yourself) it is just NOT worth the time and expense when you can buy the same phone again for roughly $300 vs the $250 plus at least $100 or more in labor you will pay. Lastly, the fact that Samsung seals their phones in curved glass is ridiculous and the thin curved sides make for very little to grip onto which makes for easy drops. If these were fully sealed in polycarbonate it wouldn't be such an issue. Sealing a phone entirely in glass is nothing more than a corporate cash grab to sell more phones.
Such a scam to sell super thin phones completely covered in glass. For the first time in 10 years I'm giving serious thought to not buying another Samsung or move to the Active series which I assume is a lot easier to repair.
There are some videos that remove the front glass by freezing it at very low temperatures, heating and removing the leftover adhesive with alcohol, then applying new glass with LOCA (liquid optically clear adhesive)
@@reslofbeats I made the same mistake. I bought a glass only repair kit that is totally worthless. There is no way to replace the glass unless you have at least $50,000 worth of freezing and autoclave equipment, the dies, forms, pressure molds, etc. I did a ton of research on all this and even most repair shops don't even want to touch the s7 edge, s8, s9, etc, due to the curved display. It sucks because I've always liked Samsung but if you can't easily repair a $700 phone it's just really not worth buying it in the first place! Why they design these so fragile is utterly ridiculous.
Here is a basic starter kit. amzn.to/2HSOS5f What parts for the phone depends on what parts are damaged. Here is a screen without the frame amzn.to/2WdznbY
If you use a genuine Samsung replacement screen assembly with frame, then that is already factory sealed, the only thing left is the back glass. If the surface of the glass and frame are clean and you replace the adhesive then apply even pressure when attaching the back glass it will be as good as in can get. Having said all that... will it pass a computer analysis to determine the factory IP specified rating? Maybe maybe not. It can fail that test. The process used during assembly at the factory uses a machine that applies even pressure at a set PSI for a set amount of time. If the device fails the test after that process then it is redone and repeated until it passes.
One thing you didn't make clear at least to me is in testing of the screen section you actually hooked it up on the battery side which keeps the connector orientation correct. I had a hard time with this until I realized after rewatching several times . I never turned it on. Thanks could have never done it without you!
Melissa Shupe sweet! I have a scratch on my front glass and seeing how I'm OCD about that stuff, I've been sweating getting a new front! Thanks for the heads up...
Melissa Shupe yeah, I know that nasty little fact but the fact that it was costing $200 or more just for the front ! So to see the oarys costing as low as this is awesome!
Nice video, just looking it over en over again, i'm going to try it now! Thank you! Nice, easy listening voice! Kind regards from Patricia(Netherlands, Holland)
There is no "one temp fits all" It varies depending on what you are using, how close you are to the device and air flow. You just have to figure out what works best with what you are using. Some basic heat guns only have two settings High and Low, Set them to low and go for it.
Thank you, sir! This is the Best video in this market (IMO) and I've got hundreds of hours of video I've been exposed to not by choice but by dealing with this damn Samsung Galaxy Note 8 "SM-N950U " (Started with me buying "Charging Port Dock Connector Flex Cable" and when I had issues finding out I have the Note 8 SM-N950U edition and what I ordered was for SM-N950F. Then wtf??? There's also N950N, 9500, N950W, N950 S/K/L, and N950FD?????? It was a growing pain but a lesson learned! Still lots of value in your video, my attention confirmed! ***MY REVIEW:*** Professional, Excellent tips & helpful advice, delivering value through the range of information from both extremely basic to extremely advanced. -Volume to Background Music Ratio is Perfect and makes easy to understand communication -Music Loop is not annoying and does not become overwhelming (Great choice of song!) -Clearly Audible -Speed is not too fast or slow, but helpful to digesting information provided -No "Small Talk" and all relative to this item and successfully troubleshooting item. -Your wisdom you provide is based is helpful and relative to your personal experience which has me trust your integrity.

As I was about to act very brave and nearly ordered a touch screen from eBay. I concluded after this video that there is difference between being brave and a fool, so I deleted my shopping cart gingerly and searched the near by repair shop :/

Even high end pro shops with $100,000 worth of autoclave and freezer machines do not like to attempt it and most now refuse to because they know how difficult the process is. So if you break your phone, either live with cracked glass or get a new phone because for the cost of the parts plus labor (or even if you attempt this yourself) it is just NOT worth the time and expense when you can buy the same phone again for roughly $300 vs the $250 plus at least $100 or more in labor you will pay. Lastly, the fact that Samsung seals their phones in curved glass is ridiculous and the thin curved sides make for very little to grip onto which makes for easy drops. If these were fully sealed in polycarbonate it wouldn't be such an issue. Sealing a phone entirely in glass is nothing more than a corporate cash grab to sell more phones.
yep
Such a scam to sell super thin phones completely covered in glass. For the first time in 10 years I'm giving serious thought to not buying another Samsung or move to the Active series which I assume is a lot easier to repair.
Well I guess its time to return the glass only kit I bought after seeing just how thin the screen was.
There are some videos that remove the front glass by freezing it at very low temperatures, heating and removing the leftover adhesive with alcohol, then applying new glass with LOCA (liquid optically clear adhesive)
@@reslofbeats I made the same mistake. I bought a glass only repair kit that is totally worthless. There is no way to replace the glass unless you have at least $50,000 worth of freezing and autoclave equipment, the dies, forms, pressure molds, etc. I did a ton of research on all this and even most repair shops don't even want to touch the s7 edge, s8, s9, etc, due to the curved display. It sucks because I've always liked Samsung but if you can't easily repair a $700 phone it's just really not worth buying it in the first place! Why they design these so fragile is utterly ridiculous.
Super great video. I think after watching your video i will try to do my s8 screen. Thank you for your video.
Beautifully explained video. Much appreciate it. Please point out the tools u used next time. Thanks
You can get the screen with the tools on Amazon.
@@NanaEsi7735 can you put the link here?
For buying parts, what would you recommend for the tool kit and what parts for the phone is there?
Here is a basic starter kit. amzn.to/2HSOS5f What parts for the phone depends on what parts are damaged. Here is a screen without the frame amzn.to/2WdznbY
I've had my s8 plus for 2+ years and it's like new.
What's the price for front screen replacement?
Cheers mate, perfect got it all done!
Do you have a link for the screen you bought
whats the metal tool you use?
Metal Spudger amzn.to/3mDV4PJ
250-270 euro for this repair here in Sweden. A new S8 costs about the same.
You found your new job :D
🙄
Hey John, if this is done properly and carefully, how likely do you think it would be for a repaired Samsung Galaxy S8 to meet IP68 resistance?
If you use a genuine Samsung replacement screen assembly with frame, then that is already factory sealed, the only thing left is the back glass. If the surface of the glass and frame are clean and you replace the adhesive then apply even pressure when attaching the back glass it will be as good as in can get. Having said all that... will it pass a computer analysis to determine the factory IP specified rating? Maybe maybe not. It can fail that test. The process used during assembly at the factory uses a machine that applies even pressure at a set PSI for a set amount of time. If the device fails the test after that process then it is redone and repeated until it passes.
@@FixItPlanet1 wow, thanks for the info! I'll do my best haha
And my other cuestion will be,where can i buy,the glass screen,that is going to replace the broken one??
Need to know this
One thing you didn't make clear at least to me is in testing of the screen section you actually hooked it up on the battery side which keeps the connector orientation correct. I had a hard time with this until I realized after rewatching several times . I never turned it on. Thanks could have never done it without you!
I didn't think I'd find this so interesting
Lovely video 😊, i'm curios what Wagner you using to help to open the back side ?
Where did you buy your Replacement Screen from?
where did you get it link ?
Melissa Shupe the front glass replacement kit for $25-$30 bucks? Really..
Melissa Shupe sweet! I have a scratch on my front glass and seeing how I'm OCD about that stuff, I've been sweating getting a new front! Thanks for the heads up...
Melissa Shupe yeah, I know that nasty little fact but the fact that it was costing $200 or more just for the front ! So to see the oarys costing as low as this is awesome!
Justin one did your work good? u bite from Amazon?
Nice video, just looking it over en over again, i'm going to try it now! Thank you! Nice, easy listening voice! Kind regards from Patricia(Netherlands, Holland)
Thank you
Patricia van der heide, how did it go? Please report back!
Very nice video
Thanks
Thank you!
Great Video. do u have a list of tools you used and where to get them? or Recommend please
Great guide, sir!!
can you replace just the glass without the digitizer? amazon sells glass only for about 20 bucks, wondering if its worth trying? thanks
Spiritual Braces it’s extremely hard to separate the glass from the LCD without breaking the LCD.. you can tho
Do we really need to remove the backing just to replace the screen???
Yes, the connector for the screen is on the back of the motherboard
Can the front glass be removed and the original LCD screen be reused? Or is it best/easiest to replace the front glass and the LCD together?
Would I be able to send my S8 to you to have it fixed? And if so, what price?
You can fix it. Watch and learn :D
What temperature do you make the heat gun?
There is no "one temp fits all" It varies depending on what you are using, how close you are to the device and air flow. You just have to figure out what works best with what you are using. Some basic heat guns only have two settings High and Low, Set them to low and go for it.
@@FixItPlanet1 thanks! I'm just hoping I don't set it too high and it ruins the phone
Please reply if you've done this! How is it going????
Thank you, sir! This is the Best video in this market (IMO) and I've got hundreds of hours of video I've been exposed to not by choice but by dealing with this damn Samsung Galaxy Note 8 "SM-N950U " (Started with me buying "Charging Port Dock Connector Flex Cable" and when I had issues finding out I have the Note 8 SM-N950U edition and what I ordered was for SM-N950F. Then wtf??? There's also N950N, 9500, N950W, N950 S/K/L, and N950FD??????
It was a growing pain but a lesson learned!

@@FixItPlanet1 You're welcome! Keep up the good work.
Am I missing something critical or is it actually possible to remove the screen without removing the main-board?
Same question here.
You did notice the screen connector goes through to the back right? So basically you need to take the entire phone apart to unplug the screen.
Right tools for the job. Makes all the difference. What the heck...I'll try it.
As I was about to act very brave and nearly ordered a touch screen from eBay. I concluded after this video that there is difference between being brave and a fool, so I deleted my shopping cart gingerly and searched the near by repair shop :/
very nice job i own 5 repair shops here in new york and this guy does a very good work
Thank you
Please stop overcharging for stiff like this :(
Thanks. Helpful.
Awesome videos.
Could you please recommend a gew suppliers to purchase the parts from? My s8 is a disaster right now and i need to do this

Could you tell me what suction cup you use to open lift the screen up at the beginning of the video?
iOttie. Holds a car phone on windshield. ;)
