Күн бұрын

Today I am going to show you remove and replace the back glass on the LG G7 ThinQ. This is actually really easy to do. Kind of refreshing in a world of iPhones and long fingerprint cables.
Required tools-
Playing Card
Flat blade of some sort
Plastic pick
Heat and Glue.
Patience.

The battery expanded on mine and I was waiting for a new battery to arrive. the back glass shattered from the pressure of the expanding battery. What a pain in the ass. How can you tell you have the finger print reader in proper alinement to meet the pins before gluing it together?

When you had the crack in the glass was the actual back plate of the phone broken inside or the cracks are only on the glass finish?

why do you remove the original waterproof glue on the back glass (02:38) and replace it with new double-sided glue?

@RealWorldReview 4 жыл бұрын

Because the adhesive isn’t that sticky anymore or might be bunched up in some areas. Changing the adhesive will give it a better seal.

Nice video. I already have a replacement battery plus I just tonight ordered a replacement back glass cover. Double faced tape, B-700 glue and clamps at my basement repair station 🚉.

I have an issue where the back is fine, but the one side (bottom left) somehow lifted up from the phone itself and will not close no matter how much pressure (don't worry, not enough to break it) I give. I don't want to have to take the whole thing off just for one side, and can't really afford the glue and everything else. As sadly I'm on a fixed disability income in Southern Ontario Canada. Dollarama has been the only thing I can afford and sometimes I can't even afford stuff from there as they went up to a max of $6 for things. This phone is my only connection and without it I'll have literally nothing else. Sadly it also took over 3 years to save for while having to use an old phone (also used yet factory reset) that was on its last legs and crapped out 3 months before I was able to get this one. And yes, my cellphone is exactly like the one in the video. The only thing wrong with mine was a barely there scratch on the back that's only noticable if pointed out. If this phone goes I'll be without completely for another few years till I can come up with $150 for another used android off Facebook marketplace that's hopefully the same android version as this phone.

Same! I take a needle every once in a while and clean out the crack around my phone to get the crusty hand dirt out, and I guess I got some of the adhesive off because it started to pry open a little. Well I said let me try to pry it the rest of the way off to clean it good under the cover and it made a bunch of cracks all in the back of the glass while I was trying to pry it off. Ugh, I've never had a phone like this where I couldn't just pry open the back panel. I didn't know the glass would break that easily! That's BS! 😩😭
