The Flipper Zero is a versatile multi-tool device that is widely used for hardware hacking, electronics prototyping, and security testing. One of its key features is its display, which allows users to interact with the device and view information. However, if the display on your Flipper Zero becomes damaged or stops working, it may be necessary to replace it.
Replacing the display on a Flipper Zero is a bit more involved than replacing some other components, as it requires desoldering the old display from the device's circuit board. However, with the right tools and some basic knowledge, it's a task that can be accomplished even by those with limited experience in electronics repair.
In this guide, we'll take you through the steps involved in replacing the display on your Flipper Zero, including how to desolder the old display. By following these steps, you can restore the functionality of your Flipper Zero and continue to use it for all your hardware hacking, electronics prototyping, and security testing needs. So, let's get started!

Everything worked fine following this guide. Thank you for the help. In my case was just the glass that was broken, so at the end, i didnt needed to desolder. Just removed the glass with the Plastic pick and worked perfectly. Thank you again for the help.

Checked with Flipper Zero Support and they said there's no replacement screens available. Found one on AliExpress and ordered it so I'll post here in about a month once the display has arrived and I have time to try the replacement, then report back and link the part if successful.
