if you have warranty, just send it back.
**Read this is want to DIY yourself.
I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE!
Things i damaged.
1.battery case ( Small part chipped off) * can be prevent if you are using correct tools and know what you are doing.
2.LCD and middle plate's adhesive (dismantle wrong side)
3.Bezel (the black plastic thingy between the batter case and LCD)
Since my battery case has a dent on it due to previous drop, it doesnt bother me.
Cost for replacement of parts (If you want to change)*Aliexpress*
1. battery case =>
~20USD( Gunmetal ) ,
~25-30 USD (Midnight. But i cant find it in aliexpress anymore)
2. middle plate and bezel =>
~ 10USD ( unfortunately, you cant buy the bezel alone/ or i am unable to find 1)
3. LCD =>
100++USD ( Please die die also must not break/ damage the LCD)
Things to pay attention to during dismantling (
Warranty will be voided by DIYing)
( I will not guide you how to pry open as it is too tedious. Watch
THIS)
1. When prying open the device, i would suggest to pry from the bottom as it was easier for me
*There are 3 layers; LCD, Middle Plate with bezel and battery case.
**The part you should be opening is between bezel(plastic thingy) and battery case (These 2 parts are snapped together)
***If you realize there is any adhesive between the layers you opening,
STOP immediately as you are opening the wrong one (I did this and now i have to replace my adhesive. My LCD now is not fully stick to the middle plate)
#Putting back together
-
ENSURE YOU DEVICE IS WORKING BEFORE PUTTING IT BACK.
-When putting it back, i started from the top and slowly progress to the bottom.
(Pay attention to the bottom part, speaker and charging port. They are protected/covered by a rubbery thingy. if you force snapping it back, the rubber might shift and block the speaker holes and charging port hole.)
