LG Fortune 2 Screen Replacement
Dropping your LG Fortune 2 may have caused screen damage – cracks or greenish imperfections indicate a needed replacement.
- Rather than buying a new phone, replace the screen using the tools below.
- You'll only need two tools and will be able to salvage your existing device.
Step 1 | Screen
Locate and press the slit on the bottom left side of the phone with your thumb.
- Use your fingers to pry open the back cover.
- Find the groove at the bottom of the phone and slide the battery out.
Remove the battery for safety purposes before proceeding with step 2.
Step 2
Remove the 12 x 4mm screws from the back panel with a Phillips #000 screwdriver.
Step 3
Use plastic opening tool with care; damage or snap may occur.
- Insert plastic opening tool between glass screen and midframe.
- Apply force, but avoid damaging the tool, as it will be needed later.
- Mandatory: all screws must be removed before proceeding to ensure clear access.
Step 4
Release the flex cable with a plastic opening tool.
- Pry off the front camera, situated above the SIM card slot, using the same plastic opening tool.
Step 5
Handle the motherboard with care, as it is sensitive and crucial for the device's operation.
- Start at the bottom of the phone to use the available space.
- Insert a plastic opening tool between the motherboard and the rest of the device.
- Pry the motherboard off carefully, working your way around it if necessary.
Step 6
Use the plastic opening tool to carefully pry off the ear speaker located underneath the device.
- Remove the headphone jack, taking care not to damage it due to its strong adhesive.
- Next, remove the volume rocker/button on the side of the phone with the plastic opening tool.
Scrape away any rubber protection first using a prying tool.
Step 7
Careful handling is necessary to avoid damage to the screen.
- Disconnect the loudspeaker antenna using a plastic opening tool.
- Remove the small rubber piece from the antenna.
The new LCD screen replacement comes with a frame, as shown in Photo 2.
- If purchasing the glass and LCD together without a frame, carefully remove the old glass and LCD using heat around the edges, then use the plastic opening tool to separate them from the frame.
To minimize screen damage, install a glass screen protector and use a cell phone case.
