Hey! How do you suggest getting the screen off if it’s not as shattered at yours?. Picking away at the crack? I would post a pic but not seeing how to do that… I’m going to attempt. Figure local cell phone repair places will charge half its value if they’ll even do it.
Thanks!
Hi John, I haven't personally tried this repair, but I'd say something like our iOpener would work great.
Are you able to provide the name of the eBay seller? Thanks!
Ricky, likely it's because many capacitive touchscreens rely on proper grounding through the device’s chassis or frame. I, too, replaced a screen a few days ago and also found out that the touch screen is not registering any touches when the new display is connected to the main board and not seated into the device enclosure (not needed to be glued to try out).
