LG G2 Sprint Display Assembly Replacement

All screws must be stored safely to avoid loss during final assembly step.

Reserve an area for storing screws that will be removed.

Step 1 | Charger Port

Careful when releasing clips as they may break easily.

Flip the phone over and slide a plastic opening tool between the two sides of the case at the bottom.
Pry gently towards the top, applying consistent pressure until the clip pops open.
To release the most difficult clip on the top left corner, use extra care and patience to avoid breaking it.

Step 2

Remove the outer phone case.

Prepare two Phillips head drivers: a J0 size and a J000 size.
Use the J0 driver to remove 11 silver screws.
Use the J000 driver to remove 1 small black screw.

Step 3

Remove the upper panel by prying the clip on the upper left side using a plastic opening tool.
The inside panel will lift up easily once all screws and clips are removed.

Be cautious when handling the ribbons, carefully pry them off the board.

Step 4

Check that all screws are removed before attempting to pry the bottom panel.

The panel should easily pry back with a tool of choice.
If it does not, re-check for any remaining screws.

Step 5

Careful handling required to avoid damaging attached ribbon or wires.

Identify and release circled clips and circuits, as shown in the provided images.
Use a tool to disconnect cables at connectors, not along the wire length.

Step 6

Careful handling of delicate components such as ribbons and wires is essential to avoid damage.

Identify and release all indicated clips and circuits.
Bend the orange material along the "bend" line, aiming for precision near this marked point.

Step 7

Disconnect all ribbon and antenna connections.

Remove all ribbon connectors from the board.
Gently pry the board up from the bottom of the case.
Slide the board back out.

Step 8 | Display Assembly

Avoid damaging the battery by using a plastic tool.

Start at the top left of the battery and slide your nylon spudger under it.
Use steady, firm pressure to pull the battery up, overcoming the adhesive holding it in place.
If the battery case begins to bend, reduce force to avoid damage.

Step 9

Remove cables held in place with black tape by gently pulling them out.

Use a slim tool to carefully remove the vibe motor from its adhesive.
To lift the camera, start under the ribbon cable and pry it out using a slim plastic tool.

All components must be removed with ESD safe tools to prevent damage or injury.

Step 10

The last remaining component is the display assembly.
Replace it as the final step.
