you can clearly see the OLED, although broken, seperated from the glass with no sign of any glue. The reason it broke is that upon heating the glass you will melt the glue, which will then stick to the edges of the OLED and if you pry it at the wrong place/time/too hard/whatever you will break the OLED as it is glued to the bezel itself. So when my glass arrives I am going to attempt to remove the glass using fishing line and pulling it between the glass and the bezel and OLED to release it, the same way as I used to remove car windscreens, and post the results here. I have also been told that the reason for the sticky "epoxy" mess that you encountered in this postis from melting the plastic on the back of the glass (which is the lamination!) by using too much heat.....I mean come on, a heat gun is a bit excessive!! Prying the screen out a bit at a time might work, but will surely end in tears, where as cutting the cold adhesive with a fine nylon cable, which wont scratch the OLED, might just work. I'll keep you posted on my results.

well chessie, youre correct there to a point with the super amoled (not oled) not being glued to the glass... but it is fused/bonded to it.....but what the author of the original post is doing is re using the digitizer membrane which youre calling lamination and that shows your large lack of knowledge on this subject....thats where all of the "glue" is, not "melting plastic"...and thats where my main beef is in my posts... you scratch or damage this and your "glass will 1. look like utter crap (its going to even if youre sucessful), 2.not work right (whether its immediate or shortly down the road)or, 3. not work at all. i say this with 100% total confidence as i am a factory trained tech so i know a thing or two on how things are made, put together, and how they work... im not bashing on you, im trying to educate you on what kind of mess this can become...

and good luck with the glass...hope it has the membrane and is a digitizer, because if not... a heating and scraping you will go... and as for fishing line...again good luck but expect fail...

you really dont have a clue what youre getting into... the "chaps" at samsung did give you some correct info... but the rest youre coming up with from still pictures is very very distorted. and btw a car windscreen and a phone are very very ..... much different.. not sure who the idiot is using epoxy but that is also a huge no no.... and fyi its a super amoled not oled ... you said theres no sign of glue but the next statement was from heating up the glass and melting the glue... that makes no sense... either it has it or not... and its not glued to the bezel itself... there is adhesive but its not glue in any sort of way... as for a heat gun being excessive... you obviously dont know what youre doing or how to properly use one... btw a hair dryer can be substituted but takes longer... an oven also can work if you know the correct temp that the adhesive will loosen but not melt other things..(i dont recommend that one at all)

again good luck cutting cold adhesive with your nylon... youre going to need it... and please post pics whether you succeed or not... im betting there will be tears somewhere...

i just dont get spending this kind of $$$ on a phone then white trash repairing it... go look at the white trash repairs site then you will get what im saying... and if you dont you never will... and a breaking you will go...

EDIT: and breaking you did.. BTW YOUR PIC WAS A CORNER OF THE DIGITIZER...THAT WAS IN NO WAY NEAR THE SUPER AMOLED SCREEN...I COULD GET THAT OUT WITH MY FINGERS OR TWEEZERS... ITS STILL IN THE FRAME... SHEESH... WAY TO GO WIZARD... GUESS THE BOFFINS TOLD YOU WRONG... AGAIN THATS THE DIGITIZER MEMBRANE..THE THING THAT MAKES YOUR TOUCH WORK...

so people would not be able to ***** about the dust between screens?? and BTW not all other touchphones as you call them do it differently... kind of like your repair method this reply is sketchy too...

um the screen protector is protecting scratches and this will never be an acceptable doable way.... reason i know i did it for ****s and giggles and it looked horrible... again its a white trash repair... just need the duct tape...:cool:

I SOOO LOVE THIS WILE E. COYOTE THREAD... WISH ACME WOULD PUT AN AD ON IT... BEEP BEEP!!!
