Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken screen on your Samsung Galaxy A32 5G.
If the frame is deformed, it's important to replace it to make sure the new screen will mount correctly and won’t suffer damage from uneven pressure.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions. Before disassembling your device, 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 screen while leaving the original frame and motherboard 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. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide.
Before you begin this procedure, be sure to have a set of replacement adhesives for both the rear glass and the screen.

If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
The best way to secure the new screen is to apply a sheet of custom-cut double-sided tape to the back of the screen.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

I am wondering why it would be necessary to detach more than just the screen and digi flex cables. It seems as though removing the extra cabling and screws is just an additional step that isn't needed. Please advise.
Hi Bryan,
in this guide you only disconnect the power and volume button flex cable which is mandatory to remove the midframe. Without removing the midframe it is impossible to disconnect the display cables. The only other cable you need to disconnect besides those three is the battery cable to prevent a short causing damage to other components during the display replacement.
What display did you use as the replacement? It doesn’t look like Ifixit has an option for the a32
Same question. Where is the display part and adhesive?
I’ve been repairing phones since 2009, so I am very careful, so I’m experienced and careful.
I’ve replaced the screen twice with new parts from a reputable dealer and both result in a black screen. I’ve tried the reset options to get out of the BSOD to no avail. If I put the old broken screen back on, I can at least see lines and a partial picture, as it is smashed, of course. Has anyone experienced this problem and/or figured out why it happened? The ribbon cables look slightly different and the numbers are A326U for the original screen and A326B for both replacement screens. Could this be an issue or nothing?
