Cracked screen? Touch not working? Bad OLED display? Use this guide to replace the display + touch panel assembly in your Galaxy S8+ and restore it to perfect working order.
Note: This guide instructs you to replace only the display while leaving the original frame, motherboard, and battery in place. However, some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires a very different procedure—transplanting your phone's internals and installing a new battery. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide. To replace the entire screen assembly together with a new frame, follow this guide instead.
If the frame is damaged or bent, it's important to replace it, or else the new screen may not mount correctly and can suffer damage from uneven pressure.
The process of separating the display from the frame usually destroys the display, so don't follow this guide unless you intend to replace the display.

Prepare an iOpener and heat the back of the phone along its left edge for about two minutes. This will help soften the adhesive securing the back cover.
-
-
-
In the following steps, you'll be cutting through the adhesive securing the back cover.
-
As seen from outside the phone, you'll be slicing through the adhesive in the areas shown:
-
Thick portions of adhesive
-
Thin areas of adhesive
-
Avoid prying or slicing in this area, to protect the fingerprint sensor flex cable.
-
-
-
Secure a suction cup to the back cover, as close to the heated edge as possible.
-
Lift the back cover's left edge with your suction cup, opening a slight gap between the back cover and the frame.
-
-
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
I strongly advise using a modeling knife to cut the adhesive when you get a sufficient gap otherwise you may easily break the corners of the extremely thin back glass on the phone (as I did).
There are NO "Opening Picks" in the repair kit!!!!!
-
-
-
Slide your opening pick along the left edge of the phone to slice through the adhesive securing the back cover.
-
-
-
Continue slicing through the adhesive along the bottom edge of the phone.
-
Again, it may help to leave the opening pick in place and grab another one for the following step.
-
-
-
Slice through the remaining adhesive along the top edge and right side.
-
-
-
Lift the back cover from its left edge and hinge it open slightly.
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the fingerprint sensor flex cable.
-
-
-
Then, use the flat end of your spudger to gently snap the connector into place by pressing it straight down.

-
Remove the back cover.
-
Use tweezers to peel away any remaining adhesive from the phone's chassis. Then clean the adhesion areas with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) and a lint-free cloth to prep the surface for the new adhesive.
-
Peel the adhesive backing off of the new rear glass, carefully line up one edge of the glass against the phone chassis, and firmly press the glass onto the phone.

-
Remove the eleven 3.7 mm Phillips screws securing the wireless charging coil + antenna assembly.
-
If any screws are difficult to remove even when fully loosened, you can pull them out with tweezers.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to gently pry up the plastic in the marked areas to pop the clips free.
The spudger tool has a pointy end and a flat end, it’s not clear which end should be used. Furthermore, the flat end is too wide to insert into the area shown, so the pointy end would seem obvious, but there is no clear indication whether it should be used to push any tabs in the area referenced, which I couldn’t find any, or if you’re meant to just sort of pry it in there until the area pops up, which is what I had to do. Then use the flat end of the spudger to lift it up gently after releasing, or popping the opposite side up as well.

-
-
Remove the wireless charging coil + antenna assembly.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to disconnect the battery by prying the connector straight up from its socket.
-
-
-
Using a spudger, disconnect the display by carefully prying up its flex cable connector from the socket on the motherboard.
-
-
-
Heat the bottom edge of the display to soften the adhesive securing it to the phone.
-
-
-
If possible, press a suction cup into place near the bottom edge of the display.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup to lift the display's lower edge, opening a slight gap between the display and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Slide your opening pick along the lower edge of the display to separate the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
Leave the pick in place and grab a second pick as you proceed to the next step. Leaving the pick inserted can help prevent the glue you just separated from re-adhering.
-
-
-
Reheat the iOpener and apply heat to the left edge of the display for at least two minutes.
-
-
-
Use your opening pick to separate the adhesive under the left side of the display.
-
-
-
Apply heat to the right side of the screen for at least two minutes.
-
-
-
Use your opening pick to separate the adhesive under the right edge of the display.
-
-
-
Apply heat to the top edge of the screen for at least two minutes.
-
-
-
Gently work your opening pick under the top edge of the display to separate the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
Use your picks as needed to finish separating the adhesive beneath all areas of the display.
-
-
-
Lift and fully separate the left edge of the display from the frame.
-
-
-
Route the display's flex cable through its hole in the frame in order to fully separate the right edge of the display.
-
-
-
Remove the display.
-
After removing all traces of glue and glass from the frame, clean the adhesion areas with 90% (or higher) isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth or coffee filter. Swipe in one direction only, not back and forth.

After replacing LCD my phone showing message that “Battery temperature too low“ and pause charging. There are some video showing install wireless charging module after replacing LCD would solve this issue but for me it still not charging even with wireless charging module on. Any suggestion?
samion 2048, This is because the device was turned on before attaching the wireless charging coil. The coil houses the ambient temperature sensor.
once you replace the front screen is the phone still water resistant?
It will be water resistant if you reapply the nescassery adhesives.
I replaced my display with a another display with mid frame attatched already.all i did was change over my mother board,charging port and such and now if i power the phone on i feel it vibrate and see a blue led light up but that is all it does.screen is black and i can feel the vibration feedback if i touch the screen but nothing shows.going out of my mind trying to figure out what went wrong.
i did it, very usefull video. Thank you. Hard Replacement Part
It’s so good and detailed. Thanks
I've noticed i can buy the screen by itself for like 10$
The oled is still working, just the glass is broken. Is there a way to just order the glass and take the OLED off the old screen and move over to new Glass?
Very good! Thank you for the presentation
Hi there,
Just wondering if I’m just doing the front glass, do you need to take apart the back of the phone or can I just start at step 17 with the battery still attached?
Many thanks
Same question as Kyle, if just the glass is broken, can the glass be repaired by itself without all the extra steps?
Unfortunately since the display is curved it would be close to impossible to just remove the glass without damaging the display.
I followed the guide to the fine details and my phone is just like a new one now !! Thank you iFixit and the Right to repair movement (y) keep it going.
I took my time with the screen replacement, did it in 3 different time, started with back cover, then internal parts and lastly the screen. I already have an iFixit toolkit which greatly helped to removal of the remaining glue/paste/adhesives.
Guide itself is top notch - detailed with photos and explanation.
The packaging of the screen part from iFixit also is one of a kind <3 optimized and guaranteed for success !
Being myself a PC / laptop builder and repair small / regular electronic - changing a phone's screen was a first - it was a very exciting and fun experience.
Thank you iFixit & author iRobot :D
Nice service good
