What Happens if that Drop-tested LCD Screen Breaks?
BlackBerry Priv signaled the return of the smartphone titan as it was its first non-BlackBerry OS device. With its signature black color and unique design, it has a tough 5.8 inch drop-tested Gorilla Glass 4 screen. But if the unthinkable happens and your screen gets cracked or broken if you accidentally drop your BlackBerry, it can completely ruin your day. Fortunately the broken, cracked, or damaged touchscreen display of your BlackBerry Priv can be replaced.
What Should I Consider When Buying a Replacement Screen?
The following points should be noted when buying a replacement LCD screen for your BlackBerry Priv:
- Phone Model and Type: There are many different models and types of BlackBerry phones. Make sure that you buy the correct BlackBerry touchscreen for your model.
- Display Specifications. Read through the information carefully to make sure that you know exactly what you are buying. Make sure that the display is correct for your BlackBerry and that all the parts that you may need are included, including the black frame.
- Unit Replacement. The LCD display and digitizer are fused to the screen of the Blackberry. The glass cannot be replaced separately, therefore the LCD screen must be replaced as a unit.
Can I Replace the LCD Screen Myself?
Replacing a BlackBerry screen is a fairly difficult task and professional installation is strongly recommended. Before attempting the replacement, please consider the following points carefully:
- Opening up your Blackberry Priv will void any warranty or care plan that you have.
- If you have any insurance on your phone, it is unlikely that you will be able to claim for any damage should you choose to replace the screen yourself.
- Make sure before starting that you have all the tools required to replace the screen available.
What Are Typically Included in the Display Replacement Kit?
You will normally get the LCD display touch screen digitizer assembly with its frame. A toolkit may sometimes be included in the box or alternatively a toolkit may be bought separately. The toolkit may contain some or all of the following tools:
- Screen opening pliers.
- Adhesive.
- Two suction cups.
- Two different-colored plastic triangular tools.
- Sim card tray ejector pin.
- Straight tweezers.
- Heavy duty spudger pry bar.
- Seven screwdrivers of different types and sizes.
- Two scrapers.
- Four plastic pry tools.
