| Use this guide to replace a cracked or faulty OLED display on your Samsung Galaxy S7. | | Note'''Be aware that the video guide ''does not'' match the step-by-step guide below, it is an older edition of the guide.'''
The video guide recommends removing the battery, SIM tray, and motherboard. This is not necessary, but it does make heating the repairphone safer and. This procedure is only recommended if you're nervous about this repair or you need to replacereplacing the battery anyway.
The video guide also recommends removingand the SIM card, which is only necessary if you are going to removescreen at the motherboardsame time. | | | 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. | | | 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. | | | If your screen is badly shattered, wear eye protection, and apply a screen-protector, or tape, to the display to help contain glass shards. |
