Refurbish iPhone 8 Broken LCD Screen

In the context of today's rapid technological development, mobile phones have become an indispensable part of people's daily life. And iPhone 8 is loved by many users due to its excellent performance and design. However, any product will inevitably encounter damage, of which LCD screen damage is one of the common problems. For users who have accidentally dropped their iPhone 8 LCD screen from a high place causing it to shatter, the option of replacing the entire screen assembly is undoubtedly costly. Fortunately, there is now a more affordable repair method that only replaces the broken glass without involving the entire screen, which not only costs less, but also preserves all the functions of the original screen. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Preparation tools and materials
- WL HT007 preheating soldering station: used to heat up the screen to facilitate disassembly.
- Mobile phone screen cutting wire: used to separate the glass lens from the LCD.
- Glue remover: for removing POL and LCM protective film and glue residue.
- Cleaning agents: such as LCM cleaner and alcohol, used to clean the LCD screen and ensure that there are no smudges or fingerprints.

2. Preparation before performing repairs
- Apply adhesive tape to prevent further damage.
- Clean and dry the work area to ensure a tidy operating environment.
- Remove all detachable parts, including flex cables and display assembly.

3. Perform disassembly work
- Heat the screen using a pre-heated soldering station and carefully remove the bezel once it has warmed up.
- Separate the glass lens from the LCD using the mobile phone screen cutting wire.

4. Installation of new glass assembly

In addition, the following tips may help you in dealing with this type of problem:
