Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport Screen Replacement
Removing the screen will render it unusable due to its waterproof design.
- Acquire a replacement screen before proceeding with the removal process.
- Use specialized tools for the repair, although removing the screen itself is relatively straightforward.
Step 1 | Battery
Locate and use the top notch to remove the back casing.
Step 2
Handling the battery improperly can cause serious physical harm.
- Lift the battery using a plastic spudger or fingernail.
Step 3 | Screen
When working with electronics, use an ESD-safe plastic opening tool or nylon spudger to avoid damage.
- Pry up the screen after the adhesive has melted using a plastic opening tool or nylon spudger.
- A metal spudger can be used for extra prying power, but use it sparingly due to potential risks with water-resistant devices.
Do not attempt to remove the screen as it may break due to the phone's water-resistant design.
Step 4
Avoid direct contact with shattered LCD screen fragments, which can cause eye damage.
- Separate and remove the plastic cover from the LCD screen using a regular nylon spudger.
- Carefully lift the connecting ribbon in the upper right area of the LCD screen to prevent damaging its connection to the motherboard.
Do not hold the phone too close to your face or eyes, as metal shards may dislodge or the spudger may slip and cause injury.
