Inleiding
Gebruik deze handleiding om een gebarsten of kapot scherm van een Samsung Galaxy S8 te vervangen.
Let op: deze handleiding laat je zien hoe je enkel en alleen het scherm vervangt terwijl je het originele frame, het moederbord en de batterij laat zitten. Sommige vervangende schermen worden echter geleverd in een vooraf geïnstalleerd frame (a.k.a. chassis), wat het een hele andere procedure vereist om het te vervangen—waaronder het overzetten van sommige onderdelen en het vervangen van de batterij. Zorg dus dat je het juiste onderdeel hebt voordat je met deze handleiding begint.
In deze handleiding zul je de glazen achterkant moeten verwijderen. Om deze terug te bevestigen bij het weer in elkaar zetten van je toestel zul je vervangende kleefstrips nodig hebben. Als je nieuwe scherm niet wordt geleverd met vervangende kleefstrips zul je iets van tape moeten gebruiken om deze te bevestigen.
Als het frame gebogen of beschadigd is, is het belangrijk om deze ook te vervangen, aangezien het nieuwe scherm anders niet goed past en ook direct beschadigd kan raken door de druk die erop komt te staan.
Het proces waarbij je het scherm van het frame scheidt, leidt meestal tot het stuk gaan van het scherm. Volg deze handleiding dus niet als je niet van plan bent het scherm te vervangen.

Verwarm de iOpener gedurende dertig seconden.

Tijdens de reparatieprocedure, en terwijl de iOpener afkoelt, kun je deze opnieuw verwarmen in fases van dertig seconden.
DO NOT USE IN NON ROTATING MICROWAVE! It will pop a hole. I had it in for 45 seconds the first time. It wasn't very hot inside and I saw it started to leak on the paper towel I put under it. Just a fair bit of advice. I think I will just stick with the heat gun. Loud but useful.
I heated mine up for 30 seconds, tested, then again for 30 seconds. It felt adequately hot. Leaving it on the left side, per the instruction, for a minute did not loosen the adhesive. I ended up pulling the suction cup hard enough to shadder the old screen. Moral of the story, I don't think it gets hot enough safely to have an affect.
There is a clear problem here with the heating part using the iopener things....no details are given. Whoever is testing them needs to make it clear - What temperature does it need to be? And for which phone models, because they differ in what's needed. It's only £10-15 for a laser guided temp sensor unit, and the designers/repairers should have one of those already for doing these kinds of repairs. Explaining half a repair, is worse than not explaining at all :-(
All phones/devices differ it’s unrealistic and unsafe to put a exact time/temperature needed to soften the adhesive. It’s really quite simple you warm the device evenly and in a controlled manner just enough to enable pry tools and picks to begin separating. Best tool in my opinion but again this is because I have experience is a hot plate and heat gun both of which are used at nearly the lowest settings and I can handle flat palming the plate for almost 10 seconds I leave the device to conduct heat until approx it’s about 110 at most 120 ish this will be plenty to soften all the adhesive if any problem areas I use heat gun while prying. Again you need go slowly and learn with a throw away phone
If I may suggest include your microwave wattage so people can get an idea on time for there own
I agree with this.
I ended up using a hair dryer. That iOpener thing took forever.
30 seconds sure isn’t cutting it… 45 didn’t get the screen of my iPad air 2 to budge either… even after resting on the ipad for 4 minutes.
60 seconds in the microwave, the iOpener burst.
I’ll get a new one and try once more with heating it 45 seconds and repeat that for 30 minutes like others have said here. If that doesn’t work it’ll have to be the heat gun.
K
I can’t recommend the microwave. If the the iOpener becomes too hot, it bursts. Better put the opener in cooking water. Dry it and use it. Instead of an iOpener you can use hot/cool packs as well.
Great idea with using the heat packs. I will try that next time. Thank you

Trust the directions! I forgot and left it in the Microwave too long and after 1 minute I had Mt Vesuvius - the iOpener burst and spewed the goodies out. The problem is, the Digitizer can be damaged by a hot air gun, so I had to tough out and remove the glue the hard way. I made it … with lots of patience! Tough lesson.
I also used a hairdryer. I used it on the low setting and I cut a piece of carboard to protect the rest of the screen. The iFixit tool and method is vert tedious and very time consuming in comparison. With the hairdryer method you can literally have the display apart in a few minutes. Using your other hand nearby the area you are heating it should be very hot but not enough to burn your hand. You only have to heat metal part of case near glass edge. If you have a cellular model then you need to be very careful because the black antenna area is plastic. So less heat and work your way up in adding heat just enough to separate around the area but not so much you melt the plastic!
iOpener was the worst part of the kit. Followed directions for :30 in microwave and took 4 trips to the microwave to loosen adhesive on left side of home button. I thought I was figuring it out and it was working well… even set a timer to wait 10 minutes between heating it up. Was on the right side and was on my 12th heat up when it exploded in the microwave. My only tip is that if you set it clear side up, as soon as you see any bubbles or boiling in the liquid, STOP! If you put a pot holder over the iOpener and press slightly to make good surface contact, that seemed to help. I finished heating with a “Corn Sack” that held heat better than the provided iOpener.
Mon iopener n'a pas tenu une réparation. Je ne vous conseille pas ce produit
Bonjour,
Nous sommes désolés que votre réparation ne se soit pas déroulée comme prévu. Il se peut que le produit était défectueux. Veuillez contacter notre service client support@ifixit.com (boutique américaine) ou eustore@ifixit.com (boutique européenne) en décrivant ce qui s’est passé.
Readers looking for temperature advice might check the comments of the previous instruction, as there are more there. I used an immersion bath to heat this to 180F and applied it to the device until the outside temperature of the opener read 150F with an IR thermometer. Removing the screen took very little force with this method.
Thank you for posting some actual temperatures. I have a heat gun with a very fine self-temperature regulation setting capability.
I will set it for 150-180 F, and use that to soften the adhesive.
Get a heat gun.
I followed the directions and heated my iOpener for 30 seconds in a 1000 watt microwave, and it came out at 160 degrees F, as verified by a infrared thermometer. A second heating about 15 minutes later in the micro and it came out at 190 degrees F. Plenty hot enough to soften the adhesive for removing the back on my S8. Based on the comments above I think people just need to use more patience.
I used various time settings. It got very hot. It would soften the glue but not a whole lot. If my screen had been intact and I was replacing something that was not a digitizer, it may have worked. A broken screen makes the process significantly more difficult. I ended up breaking the home button cable. Good bye TouchID…
It appeared 30 seconds were not enough, so I heated it more, by 5 seconds at a time until I got the right temperature about 70 degrees Celsius (measured with infrared pistol) to get the screen heated up to 60 C, the best for softening the glue. But the heat was quickly dissipating by the big aluminum back cover, so the best I got in 2 minutes of applying iOpener was around 45 C, which made the procedure difficult and having risk of breaking the screen. So I eventually abandoned iOpener and user a hot air gun with precise temperature setup. I set it to 90 C, which allowed me to open my iPad quickly and safely.
I, too, ended up using a hot air gun. I’ve done earlier versions of iPad before but the adhesive used on this IPad 5 A1822 was particularly difficult to remove.
Also, while the suction cup worked great when the glass is in tact, any cracks in the glass make the suction cup useless.
You need to remember here are different sizes of microwaves. I had the same issue.
Heating on a smaller unit I used 45-60 seconds. That worked but was time comsuming
Yeah, the iOpener didn't work for me either.... ended up using a hair dryer and that worked. The iOpener was too warm to soften the glue in my case.

Verwijder de iOpener uit de magnetron door deze bij een van de twee platte eindes te pakken en het midden te vermijden.
I did this repair. I used a hair dryer, I think it works better: gets very hot fast.
I did too, you get far more control and no expense on fancy equipment.
Readers looking for temperature advice might check the comments of the previous instruction, as there are more there. I used an immersion bath to heat this to 180F and applied it to the device until the outside temperature of the opener read 150F with an IR thermometer. Removing the screen took very little force with this method. I don’t know how much microwaves vary in heating consistency with these pads, but knowing how inconsistent the temperature of a bowl of plain rice gets in my microwave, I wasn’t interested in even trying to use it for this.
I vote for the hair dryer. The other methods work too but if you aren’t having any luck, switch to the hair dryer. While holding the iPad in my hand, I found that I am aiming the dryer at my finger at the same time and it gauges how hot it is. I stop when my finger can’t take it - maybe five seconds up close. Repeat as needed like I did.
If the maximum temperature for this iOpener is lower than the gadget glue minimum temperature, this device does not make sense.
I think the maximum temperature for this iOpener is below 100⁰C and most gadget glue minimum temperature is higher than 100⁰C. So the iOpener is useless for many opening steps in repair guides. But who knows because temperature range is not specified for this iOpener. -

-
Vul een pan met genoeg water om de iOpener volledig in onder te dompelen.
-
Verwarm het water tot het kookt. Zet het vuur uit.
-
Leg je iOpener gedurende 2-3 minuten in het hete water. Zorg dat de iOpener volledig in het water ligt.
-
Gebruik een tang om de iOpener uit de pan te halen.
-
Droog je iOpener grondig met een handdoek.
-
Je iOpener is gereed om te worden gebruikt! als je je iOpener opnieuw op wilt warmen, verwarm je het water weer tot het kookt, zet je het vuur uit en plaats je de iOpener gedurende 2-3 minuten in het water.
What do I do if I don’t have a iopener?
Use a hair dryer
2 or 3 cups Rice in a sock, heat for about 2 minutes. But, I recommend the iopener.
When boiling in water you can put the iopener in a ziplock to keep it dry.
Even if you don't put in a ziplock bag, I found that the surface is mostly hydrophobic so drying it is very easy. I also didn't have tongs, but the bag is denser than water, so it sank and I attached clothes pins to the ends and was able to remove it with those.
2-3 minutes in near boiling water, then 2-3 minutes on my s10+ and it was super easy to cut the glue off.
I have a question, if I have a pan, and I have water, and a mean to boil the water, won't it be easier and cheaper to just use that.
Have you tried it? Water limits your temperature to 100℃, whereas 'pan on the stove' can easily get up to twice that. If your pan is even slightly warped, you'll have a few hot spots of direct conduction with convection everywhere else, heating things unevenly. Assuming you get the device up to temperature, how will you get it out without scratching it or burning yourself? After you're finished, do you really want to prepare food in the pan you warmed up adhesives and trace manufacturing substances in?
.
Boiling something form fitting to heat your device with is a lot more foolproof, and not being foolish is easier and cheaper. Direct pan heating can work, but you are leaving yourself open to a lot more problems than just taking the safe route.

Verwarm een iOpener en leg deze gedurende twee minuten op de lange kant van de S8.
What type of adhesive should be used to seal? Or better said, what would you recommend.
I’d recommend precut adhesive designed for the rear cover. If that’s not available, thin, hi-bond double sided tape like 1 mm wide Tesa 61395 tape will work well.
Yes, different microwaves have different power levels (e.g., wattage) so one microwave may explode the iOpener after 31 seconds of heating whereas another microwave will barely warm it. It would be helpful to have a more precise target temperature. My microwave is fairly weak so I’m heating it for seven seconds for every two minutes against the phone. In theory, this should slowly add more heat than is dissipated into the phone and surrounding atmosphere.

In de volgende stappen zul je de lijm langs de zijkanten van de glazen achterkant door gaan snijden.
-
De lijm rondom de glazen achterkant is aangebracht op de plekken die op de eerste foto worden aangegeven.
-
Op de tweede foto zie je wat je kunt verwachten tijdens het wrikken:
-
De rode gebieden geven dikke lagen lijm aan
-
De oranje gebieden geven dunne lagen lijm aan
-
Zorg dat je niet in de gele gebieden wrikt, aangezien de vingerafdruksensor zich hier bevindt en je deze mogelijk kunt beschadigen.
Failing completely at this step. I’ve heated the opener like 5 times and the phone is hot to the touch, but I can’t get even the tip of the pick into the opening.
Added a hair dryer to the effort and stil making no headway at all.
Be careful. Insanely careful. If you think you are careful enough, this means you need to be even more careful. If you think it is not possible to be more careful, then be a little more careful and you might be able to remove the back cover without breaking it. Especially the bottom of the phone.

-
-
Als het achterpaneel te warm is om aan te raken, druk je een zuignap zo dicht mogelijk bij de verwarmde kant van de telefoon en zorg je dat je deze niet op de gebogen kant plaatst.

Til de zuignap omhoog en steek een halberd spudger of een openingsplectrum onder de glazen achterkant.
We can't seem to get anything between the edges even after heating the back panel. Any tips?
Hi Megan, unfortunately the adhesive is super tough on this one. I’d recommend carefully continuing to apply heat, very gradually so that you don’t accidentally overheat the battery. Eventually you should be able to get a little gap with the suction handle.
I’ve been attempting to get the adhesive to loosen for four hours now. Exactly how much time is this supposed to take? The pictures makes it look like it should be easy. The adhesive still hasn’t budged and I’m beyond frustrated.
Hi Lori, sorry to hear the adhesive is being extra stubborn! If reheating and reapplying the iOpener isn’t working, you can try heating the edge with a hairdryer or heat gun. That way you can get more heat onto the edge faster, but be very careful not to overheat the battery inside.
I used a stanley knife - very carefully, after trying for several hours to get the adhesive to loosen. I bought another back cover with adhesive for the assmbley, which is the best option in my opinion. Just be careful not the scratch the case of the phone, and be prepared for the back glass cover to break when removing it.
The manufacturers really want to make this impossible, huh… I’ve gone 3 years without ever cracking this phone and end up cracking the corner of the back trying to prise it open. Probably should’ve gotten a heat gun too. This is super tight.
I am currently working on this. I have heated the phone to just barely to hot to hold. No matter how many times I've done this and pulled up with a suction cup I cannot get an edge to lift.
Being that this is my second phone repair does anyone have advice on this? I've watched several YouTube videos and it looks so easy.
I suggest you try to lift on the middle of an edge using the thinnest spudger you have. also as the edge is curved remember to insert it so to follow the curve. Hopes it helps

Our issue was that a small gap would open when using the iOpener, but not large enough to get spudger or opening picks in there (also tried hair dryer but same result). Luckily as a guitar player I had some very thin nylon picks that we were able to get in there, which opened up a large enough gap to get the spudger and opening picks in. From there, we were able to heat the other sides and guide the spudger around the entire edge to get the back glass off.
First we used a Dunlop nylon .38 mm guitar pick, then a .60 mm pick, and that allowed us to get the spudger in.
This is by far the hardest part of any tutorial that requires you to open the Samsung. The iOpener is totally useless on my opinion (it doesn’t get warm enough). What I did instead is use a hairdryer but it took me time before I could get the adhesive soft enough. Especially since I was not able to measure the temperature of the phone will warming it. Also I think that the halberd is not thin enough so I used a radiology sheet (don’t know the right word in English) to get into the phone and it was much more effective and time saving. Thank you for the tutorial and good luck !
Use a utility knife blade to work around the edges. Careful not to pry on the blade since you risk cracking the back
I bought a back glass replacement kit with the battery kit since mine was cracked already. I used both iOpeners to uniformly heat the whole back along both long edges. I microwaved each pack twice over 10 mins. 5 mins apply, microwave, 5 minutes apply. That worked!
Similar to other posts, this appeared simpler. I have a couple of tube socks filled with rice that we use a lot for a sore back. Put in microwave for 5 minutes and an amazing heat pack. So I thought I would try this instead of the iOpener as it just was not getting the phone warm enough. Wrapped the phone in the riced-filled-tube sock for a couple of minutes, to the point where I could at least pick it up and hold it. Also, I have the full IFIXIT kit, so I pulled out the jimmy. Viola. Got right in and then allowed me to use the halberd and picks to finish it off.
I was able to do this with the iOpener warming pad by microwaving for the suggested 30secs then leaving it on for 10 mins. repeated this process 2 more times for a total of 3 times @ 30 mins and used the suction tool and the picks to get it open. There is a considerable amount of adhesive on the tops and bottoms of the phone. So consider warming the whole phone before doing it.
Note: if you already have a cracked back panel (like me) prior to starting the process, consider getting the replacement as the already cracked panel will crack even more as you are cutting away at the adhesive. Goodluck!
After over an hour of trying to use heat and the suction tool loosen the adhesive and try to get an opening on one of the edges, I used the blue spudger to see if it would slip thru the edge and it did. I was able to loosen the majority of the back glass but ended up getting excited and rushing and cracked the top corner. I was able to complete the battery replacement and use the cracked back glass. I’m going to order a replacement for that and that should be easier. Lesson to be learned, if any part of the back glass is getting a little tougher to loosen, hit it with heat again just to be safe. The rest of the replacement we pretty straight forward.
The spudger provided in ifixit repair tool kit is not the same as the one used in this guide and can not be used in the same way as the spudger used in this guide. So I am pretty much winging it on the most critical point of this disassembly. This is extremely frustrating.
I’ve repaired many iphones but this was my first attempt on a Samsung. I made no headway at all on opening the case and I’ve decided to just live with the battery being kind of weak. Even with a short life, I would much rather use this phone than an Iphone.
I've tried 5 times in over the course of 4 hours to loosen the adhesive on this phone, and it won't budge. Unfortunately this kit is useless to me
Once I opened one edge, I heated up the other edges then just moved the pick around the entire perimeter of the phone to break the adhesive.

Schuif een openingsplectrum of het mes van een Halberd spudger langs de zijkant van de telefoon naar beneden en snijd onderweg alle lijm door.
Cracked my glass multiple times, do this very slowly and with more heat to each new area.
Second on cracking the back glass. Go slow and apply heat to each side before trying to pry it open.

For reassembly, if the fingerprint scanner is removed from the back cover: it’s much easier to place the fingerprint scanner in the small compartment on the back of the phone, connect it and then finally put the replacement back cover on. The adhesive on the inside of the back cover will get connect to the fingerprint scanner and hold it tightly.
I wish I saw this comment earlier because it's absolutely correct. I hope iFixit remedies this because it is incredibly difficult to connect the sensor when it's already adhered to the glass. It took me a good while and I ended up using some tape to keep the back glass aligned while I used the spudger to push blindly until it snapped into place. The only way I knew it worked was because I tested the sensor before fully sealing the glass.
The NFC antenna and coil assembly might get stick to the back cover due to adhesive spreads while trying to pry the back cover to open the phone. Take a look inside to ensure the assebly has not got sticked. If so, try using a credit card like plastic to get it peeled of from back cover without breaking the assembly always paying attention to the fingerprint sensor as well.
Reconnecting this cable seems like it would be very tricky: how can you get the pieces close enough together to make the connection without having the perimeter adhesive start to connect the front and back? It seems like that adhesive could easily get messed up at this point.
To remove the akku, high temperature was NOT constructive!! I used ethanol (cc.) instead and it worked in between 2 minutes. I think it´s also better to open the coverage in this way. Instead of heating it.

Hi Gavin, all the screws in this step are 3.7 mm long, so you can safely swap these screws with one another.
The 3 screws on the lower left are not necessary to remove the battery, only the top 8 screws.

I had to pry off the NFC antenna and charging coil assembly from the back cover. The adhesive probably spread a little bit while prying around the phone sticking some part of the NCF antenna and coild assembly sticked to the back cover. I had to use a credit card like pice of plastic to get it unsticked from the back cover without bearking it.
This doesn’t really cover the last step of removing the NFC antenna/charge coil pad from the upper removable frame segment. Those two components separate and the new one adheres back onto that upper frame section. While its fairly self explanatory, it would be nice to have an illustration of that separation.
Yes need more details, difficult to remove, not solid, mostly plastic film

Gebruik het platte einde van een spudger om de batterijaansluiting los te koppelen.

Same comment than before : use a pry tool anything allowing to pull on one side gently
I am not professional, but seem to me modern solder can be weak, I succeeds in repairing an electronic key for a car simply by refreshing all weld joints . For instance ( some did not make good contact,while nothing was visible ) many professionals consider heating a circuit board enough to molten the tin is sometimes helping ( difficult to master temperature here)

This is the hardest part of this guide. Be careful to push the spudger towards the body of the phone (away from the screen side) to avoid hitting the digitizer film (orange). It’s pretty easy to slide the spudger if you’re underneath the digitizer film, but gets pretty hard if you’ve hit it.

Hi @fsociety_00_dat, you can find a replacement guide for the earpiece speaker here. All that holds it on the mid frame is adhesive around the speaker grill. Step 25 in that guide has good photos of the speaker being removed and shows where the adhesive is.
@fsociety_00_dat, the display and speaker cover are both rigid enough to protect the speaker from light pressure, and the adhesive holding the speaker is strong. The earpiece speaker is probably fine and did not move at all.

Did my first repair two days ago. If you've done any other samsung repairs such as S7 or S7E, this will be cake for you to do. If you have big fingers like I do, the most challenging thing will be the fingerprint scanner flex on the back glass, connecting and reconnecting.
I go about this repair a bit differently if I want to salvage the lcd. I remove the battery motherboard and sensors , and start through the opening in the frame under the battery. I drip isopropyl alcohol along the perimeter of the battery opening applying heat and work a playing card in between the LCD and the frame, loosening adhesive as I go.
I like the way you think.
Thank you. My utterly novice self ordered only the glass, thinking it would be moderately easy for a layman. I didn't realize the LCD was nearly permanently stuck to it, and don't have $190 to replace it. I'll try your way. Thanks!
Great guide, very accurate. Be very careful along the right side of the device, as it is very, very easy to shear the connector flex in half. To avoid any chance of damage, I remove the board and front camera/sensor flex. It's an easy job, and saves a massive headache if any parts are damaged. Overall quite a familiar phone to work on, if you've ever done any S6's and upwards.
Where will i be able to buy a samung s8 glass screen only because every where i check it includes an lcd
Hi Jonathan! This guide is to replace the whole screen assembly. The OLED screen is extremely thin and fragile and cannot be removed safely from the glass by the ordinary DIYer, to say nothing of the reassembly process. It makes it a bit more expensive to have a fused display but this repair isn’t possible with separated display/glass components.
My Samsung S8 screen is broken . I wanted to how much will it cost to replace it and how long does it take ?
Samsung authorized repair location quoted $220.00 for screen replacement. Best Buy is $250.00. Galaxy S8 with cracked screen.
Just curious… why do you have to tear down to replace the screen assembly? Why can’t you start at Step 16?
Because you need to perform step 15 to take the screen out, and that connector is on the back…
My phone responds to my touch its just cracked on the side. what type of screen do i need. Do i need one with LCD
You just need the outer glass screen, but I'm not sure if the phone need to be disassembled like in this tutorial to replace this screen. Any advice on this?
There’s a chance you can replace just the digitizer without removing the entire display, but since you can’t disconnect the display cable without opening the back of the phone, you’d risk tearing the display cable while working on the display. Separating the digitizer from the LCD is also an extremely difficult and risky process in itself, and isn’t recommended unless you really know what you’re doing.
Do you not need glue to re-seal before following the steps backwards?
When following the steps backward to reassemble the phone, you’ll first need rear cover adhesive strips, to reinstall the rear cover. Toward the end of reassembly, when you’re ready to install the display, you’ll need display adhesive strips for the long sides of the display, and Tesa tape for the short sides of the display. Unfortunately, the phone will likely not be fully waterproof after reassembly.
can i get in to the wather my samsung s8 after i change the glass??
No you can't, if you removed the adhesive. You can only put your phone into water if you properly replaced the screen and put in new adhesive to your phone. If you didn't, your phone will most certainly not survive if it comes in contact with water for too long.
Why does the back of the phone have to come off to replace the screen
Hi Glen, unfortunately the display cable threads through the mid frame and connects on the back of the motherboard. To find and unplug that connector you have to open up the back of the phone before you can remove the display.
Boa Noite. Muito bom . Foi muito útil . Pra mim. Obrigado, por dividi seu conhecimento..
Spend an hour with a heat gun trying to insert the spudger with zero progress. Is it possible they changed the adhesive?
Unfortunately in this phone’s case it’s very much “try try again!” The seam allowances are extremely tight, and it does seem to vary between units. We definitely spend a good long while trying to gain purchase. If you don’t have the thin-profiled halberd spudger, you should be able to use the triangular opening pick, or a plastic opening tool. It may also help to use a heavy duty suction cup, or even a suction cup on each side. Also do be sure that you’re prying at an upward angle, not perpendicular to the phone. Best of luck!
Broken front glass on my S8. I have some spots where it seems unresponsive (by the cracks in the glass). No damage to the LCD, curious if glass only will fix or if glass and digitizer is needed?
Technically you can replace the digitizer separately from the LCD, but it’s an extremely difficult repair requiring special tools, and you’re very likely to break the LCD in the process. Replacing the digitizer and LCD together is much safer and more reliable.
Hi, I’m working through this right now and I had difficulty figuring out how to pull the back and front off, specifically how to hold the rest of the phone whilst pulling on the suction cap, I tried using one hand on the base or top and the other on the cap and managed to lift but I didn’t have enough hands to use a third one to get the bayonette in. It’s also not clear in the instructions how to accomplish this. My solution was to use my bare foot big toe side to hold the bottom whilst lifting with the suction cap on the edge middle using my middle finger on the cap and other fingers on the top of the phone and then the bayonet with my other hand, after getting it in it was easy but my solution seems a little bit insane and using my foot made me look like a complete fool.
does anyone have any adivice for an easier way to pull on the suction cap, hold the rest of the phone, and still have a hand free to slide under? is there a tool or something like a vice or clamp or something that could make this easier?
I would also like to add that as I’m replacing the screen, it’s obviously been broken, so theres alot of cracks in the glass that make the whole process for the front feel very dangerous and theres also of the screen surface thats super hard to get the suction cap to gain purchase on, I’ve been able to get it off but I’m sure that this might be an area that might need special attention, perhaps more advice for how to manage this step safer.
Also as the screen is broken, turning off the phone in order to work on it was really difficult, the s8+ I have requires you to press an on screen button to turn it off, you seemingly can’t just use the physical buttons, I had to use an educated guess about the button location and repeat pressing the side mechanical power button and then blindly proding the broken screen, adding a step that could make this easier would have saved time, if theres a way to turn it off without using the screen that would help also.
Hi, that’s a great question. I usually have my left had on the phone, using my index finger and thumb to pull on the suction cup, and using the rest of my hand to stabilize the phone. I insert the pick or halberd spudger with my other hand. This definitely is not an easy process and I think everyone has a slightly different way to they do it. Alternatively, using an iSclack can make opening the phone way simpler if you’re having trouble with the suction cup.
If the screen’s badly cracked, I’d recommend taping over the screen with packing tape to contain any glass shards. Then you can make a handle with another piece of tape or glue the suction cup down to lift the screen. I’ve also updated the guide with information to help handle a cracked screen—thanks for bringing that up!
i wanna replace the screen glass only am i able to do that or i should replace the entire assembly ?
The glass is fused to the display, so while it may be possible for a professional to separate them with specialty tools, it’s recommended to replace the whole display assembly.
Finally managed to crack my S8 screen by dropping it from ~7ft onto a concrete floor. Last repair was for an S4 battery, the waterproofing sure complicates things!
Another great guide from the IFIXIT team. Thank you so much for the job you’ve all done and thank you also for sending my screen to me in truly recyclable packaging.
The kit is very complete and does make the Samsung S8 screen replacement possible. For most users this kit should be used only if local repair is not possible. The video is useful with steps for disassembly but one should note the positions of all the adhesives as they are easy to miss. The new screen looks beautiful.

samsung orjinal ekran değişim fiyatı neden yetkili servislerde daha yüksek oluyor? Uygun fiyatlı samsung ekran değişimi yapacak bir yer tavsiyesi olan varmı ?
I didn't find this to be as hard as I had built it up in my mind to be; HOWEVER, saying that I need to say years ago I was the local Nokia service center in my town. But many years ago right after they got rid of analog times. Yeah. A classic installer/repairer mistake when starting something they haven't fixed or installed before is picking up the instructions, flipping through them; maybe even reading a section that is new-then tossing the instructions over the shoulder. "I got this." This usually comes right before something major gets broke. And I can tell you when you try to do it yourself and then mess it up horribly then take it to the repair shop. Well we called that "I can do it myself" syndrome and charged extra to put back together what they brought in in the box. Now knowing all this - I can't stress this enough because I am stupid, stupid, stupid. COVER YOUR SCREEN IN CLEAR BOXING TAPE AND READ ALL THE INSTRUCTION BELOW THROUGH TO THE END BEFORE EVEN ATTEMPTING THIS FIX. Take my advise.

I didn't have an iOpener, so I used a wheat type heat bag. If you do this though, make sure you put a layer of plastic between your Mac and the bag, or you'll get condensation in places you don't want it.
Martin Gray - Antwoord
I started out using the iOpener but switched to my wife's hairdryer. A heat gun or hair dryer proved to be much more convenient and is a time saviour. You can heat more and the glue becomes more fluid make the next steps with the opening picks much easier

Ther first time you heat up the iOpener for this repair when its room temperature I had to heat it up for more than 30 seconds. I remember I had to heat it up for around 45 seconds. However, after that when you need to reheat it again during the repair 30 seconds will be enough.

I used the wheat bag in a sensor microwave heating up to 65-70 deg C (155 def F).

Get yourself a cherry pit bean bag the size of your iPad. Heat it, put the iPad on it for 3 to 5 minutes or so, reheat the cherry pit bean bag, again put your iPad on it. Then heat the iOpener and start working. The cherry pit bean bag will have to be reheated several times, but it will soften the adhesive so you have less problems with the iOpener

The heating can be done very effectively (and quickly) with 3d printer heated bed. Make sure the bed is clean. Set the temperature to 60c, (130f ) and put the ipad face down for +/- 10 minutes. Repeat as needed throughout the “gentle prying” stages.

The iOpener did not work at all for me.
I had to use a heat gun and bring the edges of the case up to ~200 degrees (used an infrared thermometer to measure) before the glue would weaken. This obviously superheated the metal frame, so I also had to wear gloves to handle the phone while prying the back off with the included picks.

Repair instructions worked like a charm. Had to be patient with the iOpener and getting the screen off. I tried repeatedly without success until shifting the suction cup a bit to the left side where perhaps the glue had loosened up a bit more.
Kyle - Antwoord
The iOpener, in my opinion, is of no help. Many warnings to say “don’t warm it too much”, but the glue doesn’t melt if not warm enough. As a result, a complete waste of time and energy. In addition, too much liquid in it, so it doesn’t lay on the device on a sufficient surface. I took a hairdryer and it worked much much better.
laurentvidu - Antwoord
I used an immersion bath to heat this to 180F and applied it to the device until the outside temperature of the opener read 150F with an IR thermometer. Removing the screen took very little force with this method.

My experience. I was replacing the screen which had been cracked and a little shattered in some places. The iopener is pretty much useless, so was the suction cup. The suction cup would probably be more useful if I was doing something besides the screen. Also you probably want the clean the screen before using it so it can get good suction. I used a hair dryer on high for a couple of minutes at a time (someone on this tread suggested that). I used my exacto knife and a razor blade to get into the adhesive. First the exacto to get the initial cut, then the razor blade to go a little deeper. Could have probably just used the razor blade, but the exacto has a little more finesse. I got the razor blade in and a little under the glass then I used the picks to wedge in. I didn’t want to risk anything using the razor blade too much. Used tape to keep the shattered glass together.

My experience pt2
Fortunately the shattering was mostly on the edges and most of it had adhesive on the back so it stuck together. Just take your time and work your way around following the guide to get the screen off. Have some goof off or goo be gone to clean the frame when putting the new glass on or putting the existing one back. (someone suggested that also, very good idea). Be careful of the LCD (you should know that). The cable on my LCD was pretty tight, so I propped it up while taking the cable cover off and when I put it back on I did the same thing. I just put a bottle on the battery and leaned the back of the LCD on that while attaching the cables and putting the screws back on the cover. Also be careful with the home button and the bracket on the back of it. I had enough old adhesive on left on the bracket that it stuck back to the new glass fine. So far only 12 hours in, so we will see how that holds up when the kids get at it.

Another alternative if you do not have the iopener is to use a bed time hotwater bottle. Do not over fill it though. Just put enough hot water in to support the phone while you work around the adhesive.
I use both the hot water bottle and iopener together on Samsung's. It makes life easier

I followed the directions and heated my iOpener for 30 seconds in a 1000 watt microwave, and it came out at 160 degrees F, as verified by a infrared thermometer. This allowed me to separate the last bit of the back of my Samsung S8, which was already coming off due to a swollen battery (hence the reason for the repair).

If you follow these instructions, you will crack your screen like I did. Heating the iOpener for 30 seconds, using it to melt glue, then waiting 10 minutes to reheat is useless. The iOpener can be used to maybe warm the glue on whatever side you aren’t working on. You need a hairdryer and/or a heat gun to melt the glue and separate the glass from the iPad.
Anyone want to buy an old iPad with broken glass and a dead battery?

Not everybody has a microwave. You should provide a target temperature for the iOpener and instructions for a conventional oven, or pot of warm water, or whatever. Although I will probably use a heat gun …

Three times heating opener and no luck. Tried pressing down gently on opener with a towel, and the opener broke. Wondering if I now replace table mats, fancy table cloth, etc. or will this stuff wash out.
Not impressed so far. Maybe the hair dryer next.

I support the comments about the iOpener. Everyone has a hair drier, FHS, so get a cheap IR thermometer (£18) and blow heat until the area is 60+ deg C. Still takes w while, and getting the screen off is v scary, but just add more heat if you feel resistance.
The rest of the kit is good, esp the magnetic screwdrivers.

No, everyone does not have a hairdryer. Some of us don’t even have hair. Thank goodness I already had an IR thermometer, though.

#### WARNUNG WENN MINIMALSTER SPRUNG IM DISPLAY IST FUNKTIONERT DAS NICHT!!! ######
Hatte einen winzigen, minimalen Sprung im Display. Ich dachte es könnte gehen, weil der Sprung “abgeschlossen” war. Er hat in einer Ecke ein winzige Glasteil rausgeschnitten. NEIN! Geht nicht. Habe alles mit viel Geduld dem iOpener und einem Föhn erhitzt. Es ist trotzdem sofort über das komplette Display zersprungen…

I could not get the iOpener hot enough to melt the glue on my ipad 6. I heated for 45 seconds once and it was boiling and it still never worked. Thank goodness contributors mentioned using a hair dryer. Using an 1700w hair dryer on high did the trick to get the screen off. Still took some time and the case got pretty hot but be patient. It took twice as long and a lot more patience to get the battery out.

WARNING - DO NOT MICROWAVE ON A METAL MICROWAVE RACK
The metal microwave rack can heat up and melt through the iOpener cover letting the contents leak out.
Not a big issue for me as I have a heat gun and used that instead.

I opened my iPad with the iOpener. Be patient! It may take quite a bit longer to it the iOpener in the microwave than it says in the guide. My microwave can only do 800W and I had to put the iOpener in several times (maybe a total of 90-120 seconds). I recommend that you have the transparent side up an watch the bag carefully. As long a the bag doesn't bloat up and the liquid doesn't start bubbling you should be fine. But I recommend to take the iO out from time to time to check it. (More comments in Step 6.)

iPad mini gen5. I used the iOpener. My microwave is 1200w with carousel. 30 sec got the iOpener to 155ºF. For the 2nd heating, after 10 minutes sitting, the temp was still around 125º so I only cooked it for 15 sec. Not enough increase so +5 sec more which me to 165-170ºF. This should be considered ballpark info because who knows the real output of the various microwaves and the quality of the IR tool used to determine temp.
To successfully open my iPad mini I applied the iOpener twice to the left edge and twice to bottom. & once to R edge. Using the suction cup was difficult for me (I'm in my 70's so my hands don't work too well anymore). I had trouble holding the guitar pick and slipping them in (at an downward angle). In the end, sliding my thumbnail along the edge opened it very slightly and allowed the pick to get into the gap. I marked the ends of all my picks with a sharpie pen for the recommended 2mm insertion to avoid going in too deep. To get the screen open it took me approx 1 hour.

A hairdryer or heat gun works, if heating is kept around 100 deg C (212 deg F - boiling point of water). But… heating this way is cumbersome. Using a hotplate, set to 100 deg C, measured carefully with a fairly inexpensive IR gun, is simpler and easier, if you can afford the hotplate (I used an old pancake griddle with a thermostat knob). It works great for phones, setting them face down for 2 minutes, then picking them up with insulated gloves - cheap, wool gloves work fine. This may require repeated reheating to continue the display removal, but its much simpler.
Because its almost impossible to repeatedly lay an iPad/tablet on the hot plate, I propose an alternative.
Initially lay the larger iPad/tablet, face down, for 2 min, to heat all of the adhesive surrounding the display. Lift and begin the picking process describe in your removal steps. Then lay an iOpener on the hotplate for 2 min (already set to the exact, desired temp) to bring it to working temp for the remaining operations.
Dan Smith - Antwoord
For iPads in particular, it makes sense to construct a simple, aluminum window frame, laid on a hotplate (see my comment above) that only touches the edges of the display, heating only the adhesive underneath. This prevents general heating of the entire device. Four strips of aluminum, placed together as a frame, would be the simplest and allow variations for all devices - envision it as a pinwheel of strips, radiating outward. Use it for any size device.

BTW, always read all comments at each step. New, and possibly useful, suggestions appear on occasion that can be crucial.
