Introduction |
| Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken display on your Samsung Galaxy Note8. | | | '''Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%. The battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured, but the chances of that happening are much lower if discharged.''' | | | '''Note''': This guide instructs you to replace only the display while leaving the original frame, logic board, 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. | | | This guide involves removing the rear glass cover, you will need replacement adhesive to reattach the back cover to the phone. If your replacement display does not come with adhesive, you will need to use tape to secure it. Opening the Samsung Galaxy Note8 will '''damage the waterproof sealing''' on the device. If you do not replace the adhesive seals, your phone will '''function normally''', but will '''loose its water-protection'''. | | | '''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. |
