A guide to replacing the screen or LCD on an LG VX9200, also known as the enV3. Involves a little soldering and a bit of tedious micro-work, but not enough to be impossible for the newcomer.

Oops... it happens to almost everyone. Dropped, stepped on, twisted, sent through the wrong cycle in life. Your LCD got busted. Well, for many that involves shelling out a few hundred bucks on a new phone, or scrapping one phone for a different, lesser model. Not anymore. For under $50 and about an hour of work (maybe half an hour if you're quick), you can replace that broken screen! Get ready to get your hands dirty...

Add Note Edit Step 1 — Screen/LCD  ¶ 

  • Obvious time! Turn off the phone. Can't see the shutdown screen for the obvious fact that... it's broken!

  • Remove the battery.

Add Note Edit Step 2  ¶ 

  • Remove 3 screw covers from the hinge-edge of the phone using the edge of a razor blade, or the like. They just pop out.

  • When reinstalling, note that the center cover goes with the divot towards the battery. The other two can fit only one way and are interchangeable.

Add Note Edit Step 3  ¶ 

  • Remove 5 small black screws from the back cover. I used a #00 Philips screwdriver, but a #0 should also work as well.
