Under the lcd crack and phone rebooting after lcd replace.

This will be a probably more preventive question for future and hopefully other newbies like myself.

How do i prevent the damage to white papers under lcd display when changing displays?

To clarify further.. i tried to change display but glued it very poorly after watching very unclear diy tutorial video. Had to extract it and probably damaged the white papers. Is there any way to fix this or should i buy new display?

The problem is when i turn on the phone theres only crack under the display visible but the glass is whole.

Another problem is i probably damaged battery.

Phone keeps rebooting in loop.

Is this solveable through buying new battery?

i read on other question that the that the pin is probably damaged.

I'll look into the slot with magnifier when i get the time.

Sorry if these question are newbies or FAQ

Update (03/05/24)

I did as you (@dadibrokeit ) instructed, watched the whole video and copied the whole process..

And the phone now works. I installed even new battery i ordered. Its little smaller but works.

Although i applied a little too much strength to what i guess is pocket mode sensor. First i thought it was speaker but sounds work.

Whenever i turn phone on it starts in pocked mode which i turned off..

If some of you have similar problem with removing the sensor/speaker whatever (located on in almost middle of upper motherboard sitting through the PCB) it is, be very gentle with it even when its stuck.

I managed to accidentally cut the yellow flat cable or what to call it cause it didn't budge.

Thanks for reply it was an excellent guide 🫢🏻

Although it certainly is possible that you damaged the battery when removing it, I wouldn't necessarily assume that was what happened as the first diagnosis.

I'm not completely clear from your description exactly what's the issue with your replacement screen but it does sound like a replacement is probably going to be needed. If you can add a picture of what you're seeing on the screen, that would help.

Adding images to an existing question - iFixit Repair Guide

On many phones, yours included, there are two ways to replace the screen. The first is the one you chose where you replace the LCD by itself. You've encountered the downside to doing it that way where you risk not getting it glued on securely or correctly. The other method is generally recommended, and that is to replace the screen and frame together as a single assembly. That way the screen is already mounted to the frame so you don't have those kind of problems with cleaning the old frame of adhesive and then gluing and clamping the new screen in place.

There is, of course, a tradeoff in that you basically have to gut your phone and move all of the interior components to the new frame. The good part of that is they generally make the process fairly straight-forward and it really isn't a horrible job; certainly it's an order of magnitude easier than it would be on, say, an iPhone.

Here's an example of the screen plus frame assembly I'm talking about; this is just one of the first ones to come up on an admittedly cursory internet search; if you spend more time at it you can certainly find ones that could be more suitable to your cost/availability considerations.

I wasn't able to locate any iFixit-style written guides, but I did find what looks to be a fairly decent video showing the steps needed to replace the screen+frame assembly.

OnePlus Nord N10 5G Screen Replacement

With regard to the looping, I would suggest doing the full frame replacement first before worrying about the reboot. It's just as likely to be caused by a damaged display as it is a damaged battery, so hold off your judgement until you've replaced the screen. When you get to the part about replacing the battery, just set it in place rather than gluing it down securely just in case. Reassemble the phone far enough to be able to power it on and test it and see if it's still rebooting. If it is, you can start trying to diagnose the problem then, but there's a fair chance it won't be and if that's the case then all you have to do is glue down the battery, close up the back and call it a day.

Oh, and one final thought; in all the replacement parts I've looked at, it's rarely been more than a couple of dollars difference between the screen alone and the screen plus frame assembly, so price really shouldn't be a determining factor in my opinion.

So I'd say go ahead and do the replacement I've advised then reevaluate whether it's still rebooting. If it is, come on back and let us know what's happened and we can try and figure out your next steps. There's also the possibility that the rebooting could be caused by a connector that is damaged or not fully seated, so you could actually fix the rebooting problem in the process of swapping out the frame.

Good luck and let us know how it goes! Success stories are always good to hear, and even when things don't go right there's usually something we can learn from it. In your case you've somewhat reinforced my general advice to do the screen+frame replacements when there's a choice between that and just the screen by itself.

Thanks for really throughout reply and explanation. It is appreciated.

Just to clarify this was my first time repairing a smartphone and I didn't knew the frame referred to the casing.. i thought it was the outer layer you remove before proceedings to the display change.. I'll look into buying new screen with frame.

I tried powering the phone on to photo the display issues but the display no longer turns on. After swtiching phone on it just keeps vibrating every 10-20 seconds. About 3-4 times..

The process in video looks way much easier than trying to unglue and glue back the lcd screen i already changed without damaging it.

I'll report back with update, after i change frame.

Thanks again for very detailed answer!
