Hey all - I just cracked the front glass on my s7. Of course it's about two weeks before I was most likely going to trade it in for credit towards the S9. I'm now looking at a credit of $100 instead of $300.
I was wondering if anyone has advice on replacing the front glass. There's no lcd damage.
From what I've seen online it looks like you can fairly easily remove the glass by freezing it off with dry ice. Then remove the glue from the lcd panel with acetone (not as easy) and then put a new glass on securing it with a precut 3m piece of tape. Looks like I can buy the $15 - $20 of parts online.
Just wondering if anyone has advice or has tried this? I think if I don't repair it then I might just keep it as a secondary device for music or whatever. It looks like a pro fix is pretty expensive
Thanks
