Pre-Installation Testing

It is crucial to test the new screen assembly before full installation to ensure it is fully functional. Do not remove any protective films or adhesive until testing is complete and successful.

1. Initial Connection & Power On Test:

   Carefully connect the new screen's flex cable to the motherboard connector. Do not apply excessive force. Power on the phone and check if the screen displays normally. If the screen remains black, ensure the phone was powered off before connecting the new display. If the issue persists, try removing and re-installing the battery cable and then the display cable.

2. Color Display Test:

   After powering on, open the dialer and enter *#0*# (this code is specific to Samsung phones). Select the "Red", "Green", and "Blue" options to check for any dead pixels, discoloration, or lines on the screen. The display should show each color uniformly without defects.
3. Touch Sensitivity Test:

   In the same test menu (*#0*#), select "Touch". Draw patterns across the entire screen to verify that the touch functionality is responsive and accurate across all areas. Ensure there are no dead zones or unresponsive areas.

Important: If any issues are observed during testing, do not proceed with full installation. Contact customer support for assistance.

Installation Guidelines

We recommend professional installation for this product. If you choose to proceed with self-installation, please follow these general steps and pay close attention to detail. Many online video guides can provide visual assistance for your specific model.

Key Considerations During Installation:

• Handle Corners Carefully: Avoid applying excessive force to the screen corners during installation, as this can cause internal damage.
• Connector Integrity: Ensure all flex cable connectors are clean, properly aligned, and securely seated without being bent or out of shape.
• Screw Placement: Pay close attention to the position and length of screws. Installing screws in the wrong position can damage internal components, including the screen.
• IC Part: Do not touch or apply pressure to the IC (Integrated Circuit) part of the flex cable, as this can lead to black screen, screen lines, or touch issues.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter problems after connecting the new display, refer to the following common issues and their solutions:

Issue: Screen Does Not Turn On / Black Screen

Reason: This often occurs if the phone was not completely powered off before connecting the new display, or if the display cable connector is loose, incorrectly positioned, or damaged.

Solution:

1. First, ensure the phone is completely powered off.
2. Carefully disconnect and then reconnect the battery cable.
3. Disconnect and reconnect the display flex cable, ensuring it is clean and properly seated. Check the connector for any physical damage or deformation.
4. Power on the phone to test.

Issue: Touch Not Sensitive / No Touch Response

Reason: This can be due to a loose or improperly connected display flex cable, a damaged connector, or damage to the IC (Integrated Circuit) part of the flex cable.

Solution:

1. Ensure the phone is powered off.
2. Carefully disconnect and reconnect the display flex cable, ensuring it is clean and properly seated.
3. Inspect the display connector and the IC part on the flex cable for any signs of damage. Avoid touching or pressing the IC part.
4. Power on the phone and perform the touch sensitivity test again (*#0*# > Touch).

Maintenance and Care

To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your new screen, follow these care tips:

• Screen Protection: Apply the included screen protector immediately after successful installation to prevent scratches and minor impacts.
• Avoid Drops: While the screen is durable, severe drops can still cause damage. Use a protective case for your phone.
