5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common questions and concerns regarding the product.
5.1 Common Inquiries
- Is this a full screen replacement? No, this is a front glass cover only. It does not include the LCD display and does not restore display functionality if your LCD is damaged. It is designed to protect the existing display or cover cosmetic defects on the outer glass.
- Can it fix a cracked LCD? No, this product cannot fix a cracked LCD. It can, however, provide an additional layer of protection over an existing cracked outer glass to prevent further damage.
- What if I have air bubbles after installation? Ensure the screen was thoroughly cleaned before installation. Small bubbles may dissipate over time. For larger bubbles, gently lift the nearest edge of the glass and reapply, pushing the air out towards the edge.
