How to replace a glass screen (Nikon D3100 )

Well this is actually 3 min job. And I actually did it for the first time so I guess almost everyone can do it!
How you can see my camera's (Nikon D3100) screen is cracked and all I did, I ordered new one from ebay for $10, took out old one and put new one.
It is actually as easy as it sounds, you don't need anything else than very thin knife (paper knife) and hairdryer! Just heat your screen a bit up and then start working from one corner and make your way to sides.
Sorry for this video quality, how you could see Nikon D3100 was under scalpel so I had to use my old fujifilms camera which is only good for close up super macro shots or sometimes for some further shots, but not good at all for videos especially bcos mine came with factory defect which you can actually notice only if you are shooting video
I bought mine new glass screen from here:
www.ebay.com/it...

Thanks for this video! I ordered a screen on eBay for 6.00$ and replaced it in 10 minutes. Now my Nikon looks like a new one! Perfect.

[@howardshore1961]

Replaced the screen on my camera really easily after watching this - thanks!!

[@Sharricb]

Thanks for this awesome video. I have ordered my replacement from Ebay and will attempt to fix and I am sure I will get it right because I fix pc's etc. You are a lifesaver!!

[@Sharricb]

Thanks, so easy to do. Received my part and followed your intructions. Thanks so much!!!

[@JUrtanschannel]

yeah I know, it is bcos you have to delete space after the dot and I don't know why it does not works directly, but if you ll paste it in google search engine, it will work

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the video my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D MUCH APPRECIATED! :)

[@toddleshane]

Awesome bro ty. My heart broke when got a nasty scuff across my 3300's glass. Gotta love ebay.

[@notoo7]

Thank you, now my wife is not as mad at me for breaking it in the first place :)

[@scottyboy2400]

Thx for the great video, but why did you cut and place the tape on the body, since the glass came pre-tapped already?
Wouldn't the tape on the back of the glass be sufficient?

[@jeepng.6530]

is the screen of nikon D3100 same size with Nikon D3200 ? Thank you for the video .

[@colonnelloschaeffer]

Thank u so much! Replaced in 5 minutes! Awesome! for 5 bucks!

[@olivieraudet8718]

Hi mate, good job there. I have the exact same problem on my nikon d90. Where can I order it please ? Thanks

[@Phabeana]

Same procedure for d3300?

[@ValpisP85]

Why do you use scotch?
A new screen has own glue-layer, from whicn you removed the protective film

[@Rodolfo_671]

Does this also apply on removing the (D3200) Glass Screen as well?!

[@scottyboy2400]

I also have the d3200. Did you ever find out?

[@Rodolfo_671]

Yes it works just heat up the glass so it softens up the adhesive and take a blade to pry the glass up. And clean up the adhesive with rubbing alcohol.

[@JUrtanschannel]

OK I put down the link in the end of the description, cheers.

I would be afraid of damaging the LCD. There IS a company on Ebay that IF you buy a replacement outer glass from a company on Ebay for 14.99, ship them your camera and they'll install it for free. OR, safer to just take the screws out of the camera, incluidng the hidden screws under the rubber grips and near the viewfinder (taking out rubber plug), you can do remove the back shell of the camera and do it like you're replacing the entire LCD assembly less unplugging the cable.

[@JUrtanschannel]

Bryan Keller but such a services are very limited (e.g. if u are not from the US). Of course when ever u DIY operation, it is alwaya risky, but when you DIY you learn something new, even from mistakes and i did this for first time, i m not doing anything close to this every day, but I did it, so i believe other people as well can do it, but yeah if u are afraid to do it and dont wanna take that risk, then better take ur camera to specialist!

[@jacquesgautron3161]

I dont understand why your are using small pieces of tape (which kind of tape) before to place the new glass ?

[@scottyboy2400]

I just ask him the same question. Why do you need to do that if the new glass came pre-taped? How do you end up doing yours? Thx!

[@EpicRider22]

i cant seem to find any either and the link does not work:(

[@lemr1972]

What is the size of the screen?, 3 in ?. I broke my Nikon l620 too.
Regards.

[@JUrtanschannel]

for Nikon D3100 it is 3.0-inch for Nikon l620 display size is as well 3 inches but they looks slightly different, so I am not sure if it will fit in your camera

[@TicaHelvetica]

can it be done on a D5100?

[@colonnelloschaeffer]

How do you crack it?

[@BlakeNeo2]

i'm triying to find one of this things that say nikon on it. do yo know where i can find one?

[@mustakahmed4344]

[@lemr1972]

[@gustavoabelha6931]

[@BlakeNeo2]

Thanks, man. You saved my butt xD

[@JUrtanschannel]

Well I ordered mine from ebay from USA with NIkon brand on it, but it is slightly different, not so bold as original , but you can actually see it only if you look very carefully.. I bought this one, I got it quite a quickly as well (~1 week from US to east EU)

[@alleahcabanes4453]

whats the purpose of the blower?

[@Superwoody24]

To heat the glue underneath to loosen it from the LCD ... My opinion anyway

[@saliuere890]

thank youuuuuuuuuuu
