The Realme Note 50 is an entry-level phone released in January 2024. The phone features a 6.7" IPS display and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. This model aims to strike a balance between performance and affordability.
To replace the LCD screen on a Realme Note 50 (model RMX3834), power off the phone, heat and remove the back cover, disconnect the battery, and carefully separate the damaged display assembly before installing the new one. [1]
Tools Needed
Replacement LCD screen (with or without frame)
Heat gun or hairdryer
Plastic pry tools and opening picks
Small Phillips screwdriver
Suction cup
B-7000 or T-7000 repair adhesive (if using a screen without a frame) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Apply heat evenly along the edges of the back cover using a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the adhesive.
Use a suction cup to lift a small gap in the back cover, then insert a plastic pry tool to carefully release the clips all the way around the frame.
Remove the screws holding the upper motherboard shield/cover using your Phillips screwdriver, then disconnect the cover. [1, 2, 3, 4]
2. Disconnect the Battery
Unplug the battery connector from the motherboard immediately to prevent any short-circuits during the repair. [1]
3. Remove the Broken Screen
Disconnect the display flex cable running from the bottom or side board to the main board.
Apply heat to the front edges of the broken LCD screen to loosen its adhesive.
Gently pry around the edges of the display to separate it from the middle housing frame. If your replacement part does not include a frame, clean off all old adhesive and glass shards from the phone's inner frame thoroughly. [1, 2]
4. Test the New LCD
Connect the flex cable of the new replacement screen to the motherboard and temporarily plug in the battery.
Turn on the phone to test touch sensitivity, color accuracy, and backlight functionality before applying any permanent glue.
Turn the phone back off and disconnect the battery and screen again after a successful test. [1]
5. Install and Reassemble
Apply a thin, even layer of fresh adhesive (like B-7000) along the clean frame edges if you are installing a screen without a pre-attached frame. [1]
Lay the new LCD screen carefully into place, routing the flex cable correctly.
Reconnect the display cable and secure the battery connector back onto the motherboard. [1]
Screw the protective shields back into place, snap the back cover down firmly, and use rubber bands or clamps for 1–2 hours to let the new adhesive cure properly.
