One of the most common problems with an iPhone is a
broken or cracked screen. When that happens, that does not mean that the phone
should be disposed of or replaced. Given that it’s an expensive device, it
makes sense to want to salvage it instead. If you offer smartphone repair, it
will be in your best interest to have an iPhone LCD glass replacement machine to accommodate customers
with a broken screen. It’s also important to know how to use it properly to
provide the best outcome and impress your customer.
You can purchase an LCD repair machine online. Consider browsing from a
one-stop-shop that specializes in refurbishment machines and other relevant
products. That way, you can easily compare prices and products in one sitting.
You could also look into shops overseas, particularly those based in China with
global shipping, a guarantee on all products, and reliable 24/7 online support.
They usually have low prices on refurbishment equipment, and you can buy their
products wholesale.
Apart from investing in a high-quality iPhone LCD glass replacement machine,
you will also need other items such as a mould for the specific model of the
phone, UV light, a replacement glass, specialty glue, and molybdenum wire. You
should be able to get those from the store where you can buy an LCD repair machine.
Once you have the right materials, follow these steps
to replace the broken iPhone glass with a new LCD screen:
- Set the right temperature – Turn on the LCD repair machine and set it to 80 degrees. Wait for it to heat up, and it should notify you when it has reached the right temperature.
- Set the screen on the alloy plate – Place the broken assembly onto the hot plate, clamp it down, and make sure it stays in place.
- Apply the molybdenum wire – Slide it into one side until you can get it between the broken screen and LCD. Move the wire back and forth. When you reach the end, go to the other side. Repeat until the LCD is loose for removal.
- Remove remaining the adhesive – Switch off the iPhone LCD glass replacement machine and remove the broken glass. Remove the glue remnants and wipe the screen with rubbing alcohol to remove fingerprints or smudges
- Apply the LCD – Set it into the mold, which should help ensure proper alignment.
- Apply the glue – Apple uses LOCA (liquid optically clear adhesive) glue, which is ideal for touch panels.
- Set the new screen – After applying the glue, it’s time to put the new screen.
- Cure the glue with UV light – LOCA glue doesn’t dry by itself. It requires UV light to cure.
This process should take around five minutes. Remove
excess glue from the sides.
