Replacing glass separately from the display. Replacing iPhone glass separately from the display. How does plywood work?

Dear friends, we always try to reduce repair prices and provide you with the highest quality repairs at the minimum cost and time. Therefore, we now have available new service– replacing the glass on an iPhone separately from the display.
Of course, such a service cannot be called “new”, because it has been available from different companies for quite a long time. But the problem is that not everyone, but only a few, can replace the glass from the display efficiently :)
But we have found a solution to this problem and are ready to share it with you. Now let me tell you about the conditions for glass plywood and in what cases it is generally possible.

How does plywood work?

The display, touchscreen and glass on iPhones are a single piece. This means that they are glued to each other over the entire surface with special glue. Therefore, previously, if the display or glass breaks, they were replaced only together with the display module. Now we have agreed with several assembly shops to re-glue the glass separately. For you, this means that if the display and touchscreen on your phone are fully functional, then you can save a lot and replace not the entire part, but only the glass.

What kind of glass can be re-glued?

Only original display modules or restored originals are suitable for re-gluing. This is due to the fact that on the originals the touchscreen (glass sensor) is located on the display itself, and the glass serves as protection. When restoring the display module, the broken glass is simply cut off, the display is cleaned of glue and new glass is glued onto it.
Copies have a slightly different structure. The touchscreen on them is most often located on glass, so it is impossible to cut off the glass separately from the touchscreen in a factory way and thus restore the module. Plus, copy displays are more fragile and have a slightly different structure, so such displays most often simply cannot survive cutting glass. If you already have a copy and it breaks, then in this case you will have to replace the glass and the entire display; such a module cannot be restored.

Another important point when re-gluing is the proper operation of the touchscreen.
If on your broken module the glass sensor works everywhere and there are no “dead zones”, then such a display module can be restored. If the sensor does not work in some places or clicks on icons by itself, then such a module cannot be restored, because the touchscreen is located on the display itself.

The fourth condition is the integrity of the touchscreen and display cables, as well as the absence of damage to the display itself. In other words, if the display does not have yellow or black spots, dead pixels or multi-colored stripes, then such a display can be restored.

Terms, warranty and cost of replacing glass separately from the iPhone display.

The guarantee for glass plywood is 30 days regardless of your phone model. Essentially, all functional components remain yours, and if they worked properly, then so be it. In any case, you will have a 30-day guarantee for the re-glued module and if problems arise with the touchscreen or display, we will replace it with a new one free of charge.

How to speed up glass re-gluing?

For many of our clients, time plays a very important role and there is no way to wait 1.5 hours for the broken glass to be re-glued to a new one. We have also provided for this point and can offer something interesting;)
If the display and touchscreen are fully working, but there is no time to wait 1.5 hours, we can install you a display module of original quality and give you the following discount on repairs:

  • iPhone 5, 5S, 5C, SE - 500 rubles;
  • iPhone 6/6 Plus - 1000 rubles;
  • iPhone 6S/6S Plus - 1000 rubles;
  • iPhone 7/7 Plus - 1500 rubles;
  • iPhone 8/8Plus - 3000 rubles.

We hope that now absolutely all our clients will be happy :)

What can we offer you as a result?

We have worked out 3 options for glass replacement for you:

  1. If the touchscreen display is intact, fully functional, and you want exactly your display, then we can only re-glue the glass. It will take about 1.5 hours.
  2. If the display is intact and working, but you do not have time to wait 1.5 hours, then we can supply you with a new display module in 25 minutes. You leave your old display to us and we will give you a good discount - from 500 rubles.
  3. If your display is damaged and cannot be repaired, then in this case the only option is to replace the display module assembly.

Phones often fall; glass, being the most fragile part, breaks first. It would seem that there is no problem going to replace the glass on your phone, but in practice everything turns out to be not so simple.

Previously, the glass on the phone was replaced separately, and the glass cost a penny. They are still inexpensive, but with the advent of the era of touchscreen phones, the procedure for replacing glass has become significantly more complicated. What is the current price for replacing glass on a phone, taking into account labor?

If you have a touchscreen phone and its glass is broken and requires replacement, then you need to know the following:

Modern touch phones There are two types: those phones in which the sensor is connected to the glass, accordingly changing the glass, you change the sensor, and the cost of touch glasses is already much higher, since in addition to the glass itself, there is also a touch panel with a cable that has a connector on motherboard phone. Still, replacing the touch glass is not as expensive as the cost of replacing the glass itself on more expensive models.

The most advanced phone models, company flagships, such as Iphone 4, Iphone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3,Galaxy S4, HTC One, Nokia Lumia 920, Sony Xperia Z and others have a more complex screen design: the phone screen consists of an LCD display, which actually transmits the image, a sensor (touchscreen) responsible for pressing, and glass, which is protective and decorative. In this case, the screen module is one-piece, the components are glued together industrially, and according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the entire screen can be replaced.

Glass replacement procedure.

However, the glass can still be replaced. The procedure for replacing glass on top-model phones is as follows: the display module is heated using a special hair dryer or a special heating pad, the glue that glues the glass to the sensor is softened, then using a knife, a thin spatula, a plastic playing card, or a special molybdenum wire and similar devices, the glass is disconnected from the screen. Then the remaining glue is removed using a special solvent, a scraper, napkins, soft cloth, etc. The new glass is placed either with double-sided tape or with a special UV glue (similar to the factory one).

In the description it looks quite simple, but in practice everything is far from so.

Firstly, it is extremely difficult to achieve uniform heating of the surface of the display module; there is a danger of overheating the display and sensor, after which either the image will disappear or the sensor will not work correctly. This can appear either immediately or after some time.

Secondly, it is possible to remove the glass without problems only if there are one or two large cracks on the glass, but if there is a web of small cracks on the glass, the glass will crumble, and the fragments can easily damage the sensor, as a result you will still have to replace it entire display module. Also, from the impact, there may already be microcracks in the display, which do not manifest themselves in any way before the procedure, but when heated and/or pressure on the glass can lead to failure of the LCD display itself.

Thirdly, cleaning the sensor from glue is also not useful for the phone; the glue is removed with a scraper, cloth, etc., the impact on the sensor is quite serious, which can also lead to its failure.

And finally, in most cases, craftsmen install new glass on double-sided tape pasted around the perimeter of the screen; it is impossible to ensure a tight fit of the new glass; over time, dust will accumulate under it, and the tape itself may come off.

Not everyone knows how to put new glass on glue; it requires not only special glue, preferably German, but also an ultraviolet lamp (the principle of glue hardening is like in a dentist’s office when they put a photopolymer filling), and preferably special equipment for the display and glass to ensure 100 % accurate glass hit in its place.

The work of replacing glass takes up to three hours, it is extremely painstaking and requires a very highly qualified technician. At the same time, if something doesn’t work out, then the master is also responsible for it; it is impossible to explain something to most clients. No guarantees can be given for the successful outcome of the operation.

That is why most professional workshops will tell you that the glass cannot be replaced and will offer to replace the entire display module. Of course, you can find a craftsman or a service where they will take on this, but rest assured that the glasses there are changed in an amateur way, the probability of success is 50/50, the probability of further performance and preservation appearance phone even lower.

What our service center offers:

1. Professional replacement of Samsung Galaxy glass at a price of 3,000 rubles (including the cost of glass). The phone is ready in 1-2 days.

Note: Experience shows that in 99% of cases the glass on the phone can be changed, while maintaining the appearance of the phone from 85 to 100%. Statistics on the further performance of the display and sensor have not yet been accumulated (there have been no secondary requests from people who received a replacement).

2. The glasses themselves for Samsung, Nokia, iPhone, HTC - you can buy glass from us and replace it yourself, or contact those who offer to replace glass cheaper than ours.

3. We offer replacement of the display or touchscreen together with glass: in this case, you are guaranteed to receive the lowest price for screen replacement in the city, using original spare parts and with complete preservation performance and appearance of the phone.

This service is suitable for iPhone owners starting with iPhone 4 who have had a problem - the protective glass of the screen has broken. The fact is that on these models the glass and display are glued together at the factory and it is impossible to separate them while the client is waiting. This takes several hours. Especially for those who do not need urgency and who want to save money, we offer a glass re-gluing service.

When can you re-glue glass?

It is important to know 3 things when you can replace the glass on an iPhone separately from the display:

  1. The display has no defects,
  2. The touchscreen works
  3. The display is original.

The service is available for models:

  • iPhone 4 and 4s;
  • iPhone 5, 5s, 5c;
  • and 6 Plus;
  • iPhone 6s and 6s Plus;
  • iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

The display has no defects

It is important that there are no spots, stripes, or dead pixels on the iPhone matrix itself.

Touchscreen works

Yes, it is difficult to check when the screen is broken, but if the touchscreen is damaged, then you need to change the module.

Display original

If you have already replaced the module and were given a low-quality display, then we can replace it with a new module from the original display.

How the process works

Replacing glass in production takes several hours.

It all starts when the client brings the device to service center. The iPhone is disassembled and the screen is removed. After this, the quality and performance of the matrix is ​​checked on the test device. Unfortunately, counterfeits, copies, low-quality analogues, and incorrectly restored modules are not uncommon among iPhone displays. The technician looks at the marks, evaluates the quality of the work and checks the display for hidden defects. If you have never changed the display, have not disassembled the device, under the broken glass there is an image without distortion and the touchscreen works - you have nothing to fear.

After evaluation, the broken module is sent to production. This is where the replacement process begins:

    • Under heating, a special string cuts off the glass.
    • The matrix is ​​cleared of glue, first using a machine with a sticky roller, then it is adjusted manually. These processes are carried out in a high-pressure area to avoid dust ingress.
    • Using special devices, a new polarizing and adhesive film is applied. These processes will be performed in a vacuum to avoid the introduction of air.
    • Then a pre-prepared glass module with a frame is glued in a vacuum.
    • The display is left in a deep vacuum for long time to avoid the appearance of micro-air bubbles in the adhesive layer.
    • At the end, the display is tested, packaged and handed over to the specialist.

Consumables used

  • Glass, with oleophobic coating.
  • Original plastic frame around the glass, with fasteners. In most cases, the frame and glass are glued together in advance and kept under pressure for several hours.
  • Polarizing film.
  • Optically transparent glue.
  • Special solvents.
  • Disposable, lint-free cloth pieces.

How is iPhone 7 and 7 Plus glass replaced?

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus glass replacement is done in a dust-free room with an antistatic coating.

The service center is equipped with all necessary equipment.


On special machine cut off the broken glass from the matrix. Preheat the module on the separator. We clean the matrix with a special solvent.


We use a machine to stick OCA film and polarizer onto the matrix.


A “Vacuum Press” is used to glue the new iPhone glass to the matrix. This is a hermetically sealed container in which a vacuum and the required temperature are created. In it, the glass is perfectly glued to the matrix.


The matrix and glass are glued in an "Autoclave". High pressure and temperature are created there.

What does the iPhone 7 display module consist of:

To understand how to replace the glass of an iPhone 7 Plus, you need to understand the structure of the display module.

  • Glass. Performs only a protective function. It cracks on impact.
  • OCA film. Bonds glass and matrix.
  • Polarizer. Makes the image visible to the eye.
  • Sensor. Recognizes pressing and touching.
  • Matrix. The most important part of the module. Converts electrical impulses into images.
  • Backlight. It is involved in adjusting the screen brightness.

Replacing iPhone 7 and 7 plus glass will not help you if:

  • 3D Touch doesn't work- this indicates that the sensor is damaged. It is built into the matrix. It can't be repaired.
  • Visible defective pixels - this means the matrix is ​​corrupted.
  • The image is dark- if you cannot increase the brightness, then the backlight is damaged. It can also be changed.
  • Let's go vertical stripes- this means the matrix is ​​irretrievably damaged.
  • The sensor works on its own- The 3D Touch controller has failed. It won't be possible to change it.

These signs indicate that the module has become unusable. In this case, replacing the glass on the iPhone 7 will not work - you need to change the entire module. It will cost you the same amount.

Cheaper with new technologies

To date, a separate replacement of protective glasses for Samsung phones has been established new technology. Previously, to eliminate this type of breakdown, only replacing the entire module was required.

On Samsung phones for most top models, even with a minor crack protective glass it is necessary to replace the entire assembly of the display unit, as recommended by the manufacturer. Indeed, it is not possible to replace the original display separately! Replacing the entire screen module in an assembly is recommended not only by the manufacturer, but also by most repair services.


At the same time, replacing such a large unit will be very expensive - and this is the main disadvantage of such repairs! If you replace it with non-original glass, it will cost two to three times less than a complete replacement. It is worth noting that original glass does not exist for sale at all. Samsung does not sell glass for its phone screens separately. Everything you see on sale are copies made by other manufacturers. The exception is models in which the sensor can be replaced separately. For such models, the manufacturer supplies sensors with original protective glasses separately.


There are only a few Samsung models on which you can replace the protective glass separately:

Samsung Galaxy S3

Samsung Galaxy S2

Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500, i9505, L720, I337, I545, M919

Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Samsung Galaxy Note1

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Samsung Galaxy S4 mini I9190, I9192, I9195

Samsung Premier i9260

Samsung Galaxy Note i9220

Is it worth replacing damaged glass with a non-original one? There are both disadvantages and advantages.


Main advantages:

1. The first and main advantage is the price. Replacing an entire module with an original one from Samsung will cost you at least several times more.

2. You are replacing only the outer protective glass, the sensor and display of your phone will remain original, but will be protected from damage.

Disadvantages of such a replacement, typical for small service centers:

1. Installed module will not be a perfect original display module;

2. The frame around the protective glass will remain the same;

3. During glass replacement work, when the glass itself is separated from the sensor, there is a low probability (about 10-15%) that the display or sensor will be damaged;

4. After the glass is damaged and replaced, small scratches may still remain on the sensor, which will be noticeable;

5. The majority of services or workshops do not have a hermetic zone at their disposal - a special room with a perfectly clean environment.

When replacing the protective glass under normal conditions, there may be a small air bubble or small speck inside. An engineer is sometimes unable to see such a speck with the naked eye. However, it is worth knowing that the glass is attached using a special molecular glue. This is done only once and forever. In case of repeated damage, repeating this operation and peeling off the glass from the display without damaging the display itself will be very difficult, almost impossible.

If you have weighed the pros and cons of replacing the glass separately and decided to do it, you should pay attention to some expert advice:

1. To replace the protective glass, you should contact only professionals who have already done this many times and have all the necessary technical specifications to carry out such work;

2. During installation, the protective glass is attached to a special molecular glue. As a result of this operation, the display and glass form one whole, like the original module from Samsung. When replacing such a module, no dust or moisture gets inside. After installing a new one, the display module will work exactly the same as before the protective glass was damaged.
