Because that's as far as you need to be shown to replace your screen. You'r best bet is to find a screen assembly that comes pre-attached to the midframe so at that point you can put your board and such in and reverse the process. However if you want to replace the screen alone, then all you need to do at the end of the disassembly shown, is just heat and pry off the broken screen, I mean its pretty self explanatory. Then you apply new adhesive and put the new screen on the frame and reverse the process. If you find that difficult to do, then your better off taking it somewhere that is experienced to do it. A lot of people always think these phones are like phones back in the day that you can just replace the glass, no you can't. People need to get that idea out of their heads. Screens now a days are made so thin that they are fused to the glass to give it extra support if not for other reasons but glass alone is not replaceable. Yes they sell glass parts online for cheap but its only meant for factories or people who have the machines that can defuse the glass off the screen and apply a new one. Without special machines, tools, and experience its impossible to be done. You have a 95% chance of breaking the screen trying to pry the glass off it, yet alone even be able to peel the glue off the screen to apply new adhesive to fuse back on a new glass. Plus you need a dust proof environment. I will pin this comment so others can see because I get asked all the time why people cant just order the glass and replace that because its so much cheaper. :) Hope this info helps answer your question.

@@PBKreviews Thank you so much for that explanation. Your instructional video is very helpful.

@@epacrisimp You're welcome :)

@@PBKreviews Thanks and I agree! Very nice demo. One issue is that the device you've shown is a Sprint device. The Verizon version uses different antenna's and there are not slots in the Sprint version for the Verizon antenna - in fact, they are filled with plastic. I think you can use a Verizon version for Sprint as there is a slot in the Verizon version for the Sprint antenna.

There is a secondary microphone on the top left of the board you can see @2:27 in the video (its a gold or rectangular piece on the board) and the primary microphone you can see @3:38 in the video its to the side of the charger port same gold square or rectangular piece.

Hi, yes you are correct. You don't need to remove all the other stuff, but it just makes it easier so you have more room to work with to pry the battery off. So if you put the replacement battery and you don't use to much adhesive to hold it down, you should be able to remove it easier if you have to replace it again.

Hi thank you. I am not sure exactly where its located.

Hi, it's not too easy to find, usually comes with screen assembly replacements. Here is a link to one but I have never bought from this website so I can't vouch for it: www.tokopedia.com/multhiez/lg-v50-heatpipe-vacumchamber? . Worst case scenario, you can try using some copper tape/film and apply it to the frame where the heatpipe should be, and add thermal paste on top of it (non conductive thermal paste) so you can have a means of heat transfer.

Thanks! here is a link to the original replacement pre cut adhesive: www.mobiledefenders.com/adhesive-back-cover-for-lg-v50-genuine-oem.html

@@PBKreviews i finished replacing the usb port bout an hour ago. Everything went good and thats working, but now my Verizon signal keeps cutting on and off. Did I mess something up or somethin maybe disconnected?

@@unblindswordzman96 make sure the board is seated in properly since there are gold contact points which touch points on the frame for signal. Also make sure all thr cables are connected properly and not loose.

@@PBKreviews i believe it may be that cable that run off the usb port. Its so damn hard to press down on it and get it to stay down. It keeps popping back up

@@unblindswordzman96 hmm shouldnt be that difficult, unless some of the pins got bent or connector is damaged. Should just click in place.

Thanks. The flex cable to the right of the front facing cameras @7:42 in the video is the flex cable for the proximity sensor which is routed through the frame and screen so removing it would require prying the screen off as well.

It would probably need thermal paste between the processor and thermal pad, but not between the copper and thermal pad. And its possible the copper heat pipe is aftermarket on the replacement you got and not as thick or efficient as your original. You can always try to gently pry off your original without damaging it and use that on the new frame.

@@PBKreviews can i just remove the thermal pad, and apply thermal paste betwen cpu and vapor chamber? like on razer phone?

Hi, here is a link to one: www.fixez.com/lg-v50-thinq-5g-pre-cut-back-battery-cover-adhesive?gclid=CjwKCAiAqt-dBhBcEiwATw-ggAHI9MgAHc3CZA1W2BKA7VoZZOjNUQVM8qm7jwwt8KFNlD3xjlLbVhoC-dEQAvD_BwE

@@PBKreviews Hello me again, I hope you can help me with this, I have been repairing the screen of my LGv50 for a long time and what I did was move all the pieces (motherboard, battery, cameras, absolutely everything) to a new screen with a new casing, everything is fine so far, after sealing it and when using it it began to occur to me that it turns off when it has between 40 and 20 percent battery, it turns off as if it had 0%, do you think it is a battery calibration error or that the battery is it damaged?

Thanks! If there are cracks or breaks, there is a good chance it won't be water resistant any longer.

Usually I look for precut adhesive that comes with replacement backs to ensure a good seal. If available usually can be found on ebay amazon etc. But if not you can 300lse or smartphone red tape or other adhesives for smartphones and cut strips and apply to the frame of the phone.

This video was made years ago so I don't have the phone anymore :)

Its not really permanent, its just a strong adhesive and does not have a user removable battery tab to pull off. Doesn't mean the G8 battery and V50 battery can't be removed and replaced. I removed the G8 battery in my teardown of the LG G8 and same with the V50. Yes they didn't use the easier pull straps for the adhesive on both phones and the adhesive is stronger but it is removable you just need to carefully pry it off with non metal tools. Also yes its best to remove the main board and such so you have access to the openings around the battery to insert pry tools and work on removing the batteries. Always remember take your time so you don't bend and damage the battery causing a short etc. But one good thing with these adhesives are they are reusable so you don't need to re-apply new adhesive for a new battery you can just use the same one. Hope this helps.

You can get the original oem ones here www.mobiledefenders.com/lg-repair-parts/v-series/v50-thinq.html

Yeah, I have the same question. They looks similar. Is connector the same? Can I replace my camera module in V50 with V40 component?

Hi, could be the battery or could be a worn out thermal pad which transfers the heat from the processor to the copper plate or just apps running in the background of your phone. Can also be a phone that had water damage etc.

I haven't tested the speaker out much yet, but yes the vapor chamber/heat sink was thicker than the s10 ones

@@PBKreviews guess the v50 is my next phone, the LG g8 had poor dissipation

@@PBKreviews 2 of my v series, V10 and V20 suffered catastrophic boot loop due to overheating issue. Do you think V50 is safe front that?

@@trade1713 The V50 has sufficient cooling, so I don't think it should run into problems like that but I can't be certain. I haven't really used LG phones for too long or long periods of time so not familiar with the overheating. But based of the cooling on this compared to previous models, It looks to be much better.

If I'm not mistaken, that's where one of the 5G mmWave antenna would go if the phone for example was for Verizon since Verizon's 5G network uses mmWave technology. But phones which are from different networks or regions which don't use 5G mmWave but instead only 5G sub-6 Ghz etc. then those have those plastic inserts in those slots usually.

@@PBKreviews Thanks a lot. I am just using 4G LTE so hopefully a different version of this antenna will do just fine...

You have to remove the back plate and the top plastic cover over the motherboard to disconnect the battery cable. At that point you can apply heat with a hair dryer or heat gun to the front of the phone where the screen is to gradually heat up the adhesive underneath the battery to loosen it up. Then you can pry the battery off. It's easier if you remove the main board as well since it gives you more room to work with but its not required.

@@PBKreviews Thank you so much!!

It's possible, different regions have slight variations sometimes. Some have the light up 5G logo some don't.

@@PBKreviews it turns out the phone is an LG K51 ! Thanks

Thanks. What help do you need? you can get some parts for it here: www.mobiledefenders.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=lg+v50

Yup would definitely help.

Please tell me what do you mean by " gsme " ?

Some regions have the 2 camera versions compared to the 3 camera version of the LG V50

you need to remove the motherboard (it isn't necessary to remove the battery or other components that are pasted to the frame) since the electric contact point of the buttons is below the motherboard .

@@MiloTheFirst1 thanks

Hmm not sure. Sometimes different region versions can vary, but it might also be possible the screen was replaced if the phone you are using was 2nd hand, and they never replaced the heat pipe.

If you are replacing just the screen and not the midframe as one piece, then you would be fine. But if you replacing a midframe with screen combo, you would probably have to pry off the vapor chamber carefully and place it on the new midframe assembly if it already does not include one.

@@PBKreviews what do you think sir , is the vapor chamber cooling system used in the V50 more effective than the heat pipe system used in the G8 and the G8X, in terms of good temperature maintain ?

@@oussama7084 I'm not 100% certain but I would lean toward vapor chamber being a better option due to the fact it has more surface area to attract and transfer heat compared to a heat pipe.

It's dual and shares with one of the sim slots.

Not sure exactly where it is, it's possible its located under the shields of the main board.

The V50 battery is slightly larger and also the connector is located further away than the v40 connector. V50 battery connector is more in the middle section but the v40 is more toward the left corner of the battery so it would not even reach to make the connection.

@@PBKreviews thanks for the reply. Do you think the v50 battery would fit in the battery spot? If it wouldn't fit, then its a no go.

If LG creates a phone with removable battery, I'd pay 1500 USD for it. Definitely.

Current batteries last just as long tbh... I did the same thing before. Doesn't compare to the modern tech

how the v20 has like a 4000 mah

@@kninzotagoni3635 10k batyery case

Li-ion battery are dangerous. Theres a reason you cant remove it by yourself.

The phone standard comes with a copper vapor chamber/heat pipe unless you replaced the screen and did not transfer it over from the previous frame. If it doesn't have it, then yea that would be the cause of the over heating. If it does, its possible your thermal pad has worn out or needs replacing. You can use another thermal pad of the same thickness or use thermal paste.

yes they are held on with adhesive

Ya you should be able to add another thermal pad

@@PBKreviews thanks! Its good to know that this phone is still salvageable :D

@@PBKreviews or some thermal paste?

​@@PBKreviews do you have link where to buy thermal link/heatpipe v50s?

Hi, you need to just move it around and evenly heat up the back. So try not to hold it on one spot for a long period of time. You can also use a hair dryer which will be safer in terms of damaging any parts.

@@PBKreviews once i completely removed the battery door can i still use the installed one or should i replace those adhesive seals too?

Thanks. It might have similarities but I don't think it would be identical as far as the teardown process goes.

Not sure what speaker mount you are referring to.

@@PBKreviews I mean the flex that connects the motherboard to the rear connection pins.

@@salvananez Oh not sure, I have looked for someone else as well couldn't find it

search for bl-t42 battery on ebay

@@PBKreviews thank you I found it

@@monetcannon170 you're welcome

there are many types but you can use smartphone red tape (link in description) or other strong smartphone adhesives

@@PBKreviews Awesome, thanks

Also, will the phone lose its water and dust resistance rating after being disassembled?

Once you have access to the battery cable to disconnect it, you can remove the battery. Also yes you will lose water resistance unless you use the original pre cut adhesive to re assemble the back cover/plate or get a replacement back cover that has the adhesive pre installed.

@@PBKreviews well noted...thank you for your reply 🙏🏼❤️

not sure, I haven't ever used that.

Aliexpress

lol, I'm not too sure. It might be possible to put the v40 board in the v50 housing with the v50 vapor chamber but wouldn't know for sure unless I tried. Don't have a v40 at the moment to test that out with but even though they look very similar internally, there is slight size differences which might not work so yep not sure.

@@PBKreviews it looks like the rear glass is differently curved compared to v40, more like 4 side bending in g8. Hope it's just thickness difference between both

@@harysviewty dude you are so gay. Just sell your g8 and buy the v50 when it comes out. Should be out in a couple months

It was the Korean version

Not sure, I would think ebay or amazon since most OEM resellers don't carry LG parts as much anymore.

I'm not too sure. I am not really an expert in battery life and so forth but It seems fine to me.

@@PBKreviews I should keep my battery then. Thanks for the reply!

@@senpaiclangy2243 You're welcome :)

before it was not on 300 charge cycle... How many hours do you play when it is full charged? And what games do you play? Online games?

Hi, I'm not 100% sure but I would assume it would be compatible.

You would need to replace that bottom charger port flex assembly which has the mic on it.

Yes you would need to apply new pre cut adhesive to re apply the back plate/cover. Here is a link for the original pre cut adhesive for the phone: www.mobiledefenders.com/adhesive-back-cover-for-lg-v50-genuine-oem.html

yup indeed :)

If you use an original pre cut adhesive made for the phone to re attach the back plate, it should retain the water resistance. But if you cut your own adhesive strips to use, then it wont retain the water resistance.

Depends which cable you are referring to. There is one that goes over the speaker assembly on top and that is for the connector points on the back of the phone and there is a cable with is attached to the speaker underneath the assembly which has two gold points which need to touch the gold pins on the sub board/charger port board to get signal. So make sure its screwed down in place correctly, and that those 2 pins are not bent or damaged etc.

@@PBKreviews Okay well thank you for replying. I'll look at my phone again and I'm pretty sure its the top one over the speaker that I'm missing

@@bootswiththefur1xd361 no problem. The top one shouldn't affect the speaker working or not.

@@PBKreviews well that is good to know so again thanks

Different region devices have slightly different features. Some carrier versions have the 5G light up logo and some don't. As for the dots, might be some versions either dont have the dual screen attachment feature or make use of it in another way compared to making the connection on the back.

its possible your adhesive around the backplate needs to be replaced or your camera lens cover may be cracked and lets moisture in needing replacement

processor, ram and memory are located in that area. Not sure what brand thermal pads they use.

You're saying after you changed the battery, the touch is not working? Check the screen cable to make sure it is properly connected and make sure it has not been damaged.

@@PBKreviews Thank you for your answer teacher, what number is the screen cable here at ko.ifixit.com/Guide/LG+G8+ThinQ+Screen+Replacement/146643?lang=en? The other teacher told me to try number 12 again when I mentioned the symptoms Is that right?

Pretty much most the stuff. Back cover, top and bottom plastic covers, motherboard. Then you will have access to removing the flex cable with charger port on it.

​@@PBKreviews after replacing the charging port, I'm not getting any mobile data connection. It detects my sim but it just says "service disabled". I tried going airplane mode, restarting, network and apn resetting and nothing works. Any idea what's wrong?

oh that sucks. Yea not sure why they glue it down so strong (only thing I can think of is they worry over time heat would loosen the adhesive?), or at least if they had a metal plate covering the entire back would be good as well to help prevent possible damage to the screen when prying off.

PBKreviews need your advice plz I am planning to buy a sturdy phone I am comparing between 1-lg v60 and 2-samsung xcover pro Which is more sturdy? Both have same grades of sturdiness.. Is the lg v60 solid enough? Which is more robust from the internals ? Does LG have service centers for mobile phones like APPLE and Samsung ?

@@amrashraf9559 The xcover pro is definitely a more rugged phone, meaning it will last against falls and drops and such, where as the v60 wont since the screen can break as well as the back glass and the housing can get damaged. The xcover pro has a rubberized housing that will not get damaged easily nor will the back break or the screen get damaged easily. But the v60 is a aluminum solid device but it can still get dings n dents in the frame if you drop it. Not sure of LG service centers but I am sure they have a mail in service of some sort.

PBKreviews thanks for the reply So why you do not remove the lg v60 screen while teardown ? Is it difficult to be removed ?

@@amrashraf9559 no because removing a working screen will probably damage it and make it useless. The screen is held down with adhesive so if anyone is replacing a broken screen all they need to do is heat it up and pry it off doesn't matter if it breaks so nothing really to it once you take apart the phone.

👍

After taking the phone apart as shown in the video, all you need to do is heat up the screen to loosen up the adhesive holding it down to the frame and pry it off the frame. Then apply new adhesive and apply the new screen and re assemble the phone.

If you can get a back plate with the original precut adhesive then ya it should be resistant again, but if you have to cut adhesive and put it on yourself then probably not because there will be gaps etc.

@@PBKreviews it's not possible to find the exact one as my sprint variation isn't available... However I did find pre cut adhesive for the lg v50.... I think this should do

@@simplyalif Ya, the v50 adhesives should all be the same

Not sure what part you are referring to.

The glass alone is not end user replaceable. Only factories or professionals with the tools and machines required to do the job would be able to. You would need to get a complete screen with digitizer touch glass assembly that is already one piece and glued together.

i mean if battery is aged . can we replace it ?

yes its replaceable, it may not be easy since they don't have pull tabs, but you would need to take your time to gently pry it off so you don't damage the battery (or short it etc.)

Hi there are two, one on bottom of the phone next to the charger port and one on the top corner. They are the gold square/rectangular pieces. The secondary mic on top would probably be the one which you would need to take a look at. The mics have a small hole on the frame of the phone like a sim eject hole. Make sure those are clean and not obstructed or clogged. Use a small brush or tooth brush to clean them out if they are. Also its possible something might be stuck in your headphone jack or it might have gotten water in there and is shorting making the phone think there is a headphone plugged in at all times. If something is stuck in there, you would need to remove it. If its gone bad you would need to replace the headphone jack. The mics rarely go bad.

@@PBKreviews my man, all I wanna know is how many mics are there, thank you so much for the advice. I'll clean my headphone jack along with the mic on the upper side. Will update you when I fix it, hopefully. Sorry for my bad english man. Much appreciated.

@@erosmarcuszamora8828 sounds good let me know what happens. Your English is excellent 👌
