OnePlus 6 Screen Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

If the screen on your OnePlus 6 is cracked, shattered, or otherwise damaged, this guide will demonstrate how to replace it and get your phone back to its former glory.

If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

Discharge your battery to at least 25% capacity and turn off your device before beginning.

Hi there!

The screen replacement works great with this howto.

But - sadly - my phone is now experiencing a huge battery drain. When fully charged it's dead after almost 6 ours. Also the fingerprint-reader is just working when the screen is on.

Does anyone has an idea howto solve this issues?

Thanks in advance!
