Samsung Galaxy J3 Eclipse Display Assembly Replacement

Step 1 Display Assembly

• Use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the front edges of the phone for about two minutes. Stay approximately six inches away from the screen to prevent phone damage.
• Do not apply heat to any one edge of the phone for longer than a few seconds. Instead, use a continuous motion around the phone's edges.
Step 2



• While the screen adhesive is still warm and flexible, insert a pry tool or plastic card between the glass display and the frame of the phone.
• Slowly slide another pry tool around all the edges of the phone in order to break the adhesive's bond to the display.
• When using the pry tool, do not use too much force or the phone's internals could be damaged.
• Do not insert your tool more than 1cm into the top edge of the phone to avoid damaging the fragile cables.
Step 3
• Gently lift lower side and loosen all edges to hinge screen up from bottom.
• Do not try to completely remove the display from the frame yet. Simply try to loosen up all the edges.
Step 4
• Use your prying tool to slowly pry up on the bottom right corner of the white cable guard, exposing a thin ribbon cable connector.
Step 5
• Pry up the ribbon cable connector revealed from under the cable guard and remove the display from the device.
• Clean the residue from the phone edges before re-assembling phone with new screen.
