Cracked screen? Touch not working? Bad OLED display? Use this guide to replace the entire displaydisplay + touch panel assembly in your Galaxy S8+ and restore it to perfect working order. | | Replacement screens for this phone typically come preinstalled in a whole new chassis, including a new heat pipe, side buttons, and other small components. To replace the screen, you will remove all other internal components from your phone (motherboard, battery, cameras, etc.) and install them into your new display + chassis assembly. | | This guide instructs you to replace only the display while leaving the original frame, logic board, and battery in place. '''Note''': some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires you to transplant all of your phone's internals and install a new battery. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide. | | This is also a good opportunity to replace your battery. '''The original battery should not be re-used''' if it is even ''slightly'' deformed or damaged during removal. Re-using any soft-shell lithium-ion battery that is not in perfect physical condition can be a major fire and safety hazard. | | 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. |
