crack display we've all been there but
when that crack becomes a little more
and you can no longer see anything on
your phone it's time to fix it so today
I'm going to show you how to replace the
display assembly in your Galaxy s5 for
this repair you're going to need iFixit
opening pics an eye opener a phillips
double zero screwdriver some plastic
opening tools and a spudger eye most of
the tools I need in my pro tect tool kit
and of course I have my magnetic mat to
keep me organized so let's get started
this is just an overview so be sure to
check out the step by step guide on
ifixit.com when you do your repair the
first few steps you don't even need a
tool for let's start by popping off the
back removing the battery and finally
the microSD card if you have one and the
SIM card next we need to disconnect the
home button cable connector that's
hidden under the plastic mid rim
connector panels just use your opening
tool to pop that up and then use the tip
of your spudger to disconnect the cable
now we can focus on the display turn
your phone over and set your eye opener
on the left side of the phone for at
least 90 seconds then reheat your eye
opener if necessary and then place it on
the right side of the phone for 90
seconds once both sides have been hit
with a little heat we're going to use
our pic to carefully separate the
display from the phone start at the
bottom right side of the front glass and
then slide the opening pick along the
right side of the display now you can
move your pic around the corner and
along the tops of bump the top of the
display is held in place by only a
narrow strip of adhesive above the
earpiece leader slide the opening pic
across the top of the phone being very
careful not to insert the pics too
deeply you don't want to damage any of
the components here as you move your pic
to the left side you may encounter some
resistance unit with some more heat from
your eye opener before you continue and
then slide your opening pic along the
left half of the phone stopping at a
lower left corner finally we just need
to tackle the adhesive near the home
button leave your pic in place to avoid
any glue resetting and place your warm
iOpener right over the home button now
you can use your pic to loosen the
adhesive at the bottom of the phone but
with caution because just like the top
of the phone there's a lot of important
cables and components down there if you
insert the opening pick too far into the
phone you risk cutting these cables
twist the opening pic to
catch the glass from the phone if the
front panel does not detach easily it
may require additional adhesive cutting
now we completely lift the bottom of the
display assembly but don't remove it we
need to disconnect this cable use the
sharp tip of this budget to lift the
front panel assembly cable connector
straight up off it socket on the
motherboard and then you're free to
remove it from the phone that's it for
this repair for reassembly we recommend
