one of the toughest parts of replacing
the display on a samsung phone is
dealing with the adhesive that holds the
phone together but without that adhesive
correctly in place your phone sensitive
interior is easily exposed to water dust
and other particles which can cause
major issues so today we're gonna show
you how to properly reapply adhesive
strips to your Samsung galaxys display
in rear panel for this repair you will
need some tweezers a spudger or an
iFixit opening tool a q-tip
high-concentration
isopropyl alcohol an adhesive that is
compatible to your device this procedure
may vary from phone to phone but the
process is very similar not all
adhesives are shaped the same way so be
sure to buy the adhesive that's
compatible with your exact model of
phone also not all of the adhesives for
the same phone or manufactured the same
way some may have different style of
adhesive backing we'll be showing the
procedure with adhesives we have it I
fix it so the shape size and color of
the adhesive back may be different if
you purchase yours somewhere else to
start we'll tackle the adhesive for the
display first things first you need to
create a clean surface for the new
adhesive to stick to so remove all
traces of adhesive and debris from the
frame of your phone with tweezers or
your spudger then use a high
concentration isopropyl alcohol to wipe
it clean using a q-tip next grab your
adhesive and lay it out next to your
phone so you can get the orientation
just right when applying the long
vertical strips we find it's easier to
roll back the vacuum just a little bit
then line up the ends of bottom strips
and then finally slowly roll them in
place make sure you're lining up the
long edge of the adhesive with the edge
of your phone's frame on most models
there is a slightly raised portion of
the frame to align the adhesive strips
against if you mess up you can try to
carefully peel the adhesive back up but
if things go really bad we recommend
having at least a second pair of strips
handy when you see the adhesive is
properly aligned use your fingers and
press the adhesive onto the frame to
make sure it sticks well
then use a spudger to firmly press the
adhesive strip down and line things up
just right it's possible that your
display adhesive might come in two
pieces if that's the case repeat this
process for the second set of strips
peel away the green cover on the
adhesive and layer display in place on
the frame now we're going to be tackling
the back cover adhesive the back cover
adhesive consists of a perimeter strip
that goes around the edges of the panel
and some phone models also use support
strips that are usually found in the
center of the panel begin by using an
opening tool or your spudger in
high-concentration isopropyl alcohol to
remove all adhesive residue from the
phone frame and the rear panel you'll be
installing on your phone figure out how
each adhesive strip aligns with the
surfaces by matching the adhesive strips
contours with the adhesive residue and
the phone frame if you need to install
support adhesive strips make sure to
install them before you apply your
perimeter strips peel the clear liner
off of the support adhesive strip to
expose the adhesive carefully lay the
strip sticky side up on the top of the
phone frame being careful not to touch
the sticky surface and then align the
adhesive strip on the phone frame so
that the adhesive contours match the
frames if you have too small support
strips repeat the process for both
strips carefully lower the back cover
onto the exposed support strips this
will ensure that the adhesive is
properly positioned on the back cover
remove the back cover and use your
fingers or spudger to press the support
adhesive firmly onto the back cover
you can now peel away the colored liner
to expose the adhesive next we'll tackle
the perimeter adhesive peel away the
clear liner from the perimeter adhesive
strip to expose the adhesive then hold
the strip's by its tabs and carefully
line up a long edge of the adhesive to
the edge of the phone's frame set the
adhesive onto the phone's perimeter and
press it down with your fingers
peel away the colored liner from the
perimeter adhesive strip to expose the
adhesive to seal the phone align and set
the back cover onto the phone frame and
then apply pressure to the phone
perimeter with your fingers when
everything is said and done apply a few
books worth of weight on your display
