Replacing Your Samsung Galaxy S7 LCD Screen

Nowadays, replacing your mobile phone screens has become a common practice. When you're looking to replace your Samsung S7 display screen, you will find a wide range of options on eBay. You may find different colors and designs to choose for your new screen.

Will any type of LCD screen fit your Samsung Galaxy S7 phone?

LCD screens are made to fit a specific type of phone model, such as the Galaxy S7. The first thing to look for is the size of the screen. The Galaxy S7 screen is 5.1 inches and gives you an HD resolution picture display. Moreover, some phones will only need the plastic screen replaced and not the LCD screen itself. If you notice any broken pixels on your phone along with cracks on the screen, you will need the entire LCD screen replaced.

Can a screen replacement fix your touchscreen issue?

Yes, in many cases where the touch sensitivity is not working on the screen, a screen replacement can fix the issue. This will also include the Galaxy S7 LCD replacement. Most of the time, the digitizer is the problem and won't respond to movements on the screen. Since the digitizer is attached to the screen on most models, you will need to replace the LCD display.

The types of tools you'll need

The tools needed for a Samsung Galaxy S7 LCD screen replacement need to fit the phone’s frame and structure. Since the phone and its parts are small, normal screwdrivers will not fit the phone. The proper tools are necessary to prevent damage and have a successful replacement. It is also important to use the right type of adhesive so that you won't ruin the phone's circuitry and mechanics. The tools can include:

  • Screen opening plier
  • Adhesives
  • Suction cups
  • T5 or T6 screwdrivers
  • Scrapers
The different types of LCD screens

When you're shopping for your Galaxy S7 screen replacement options, you may find two choices available, which are resistive or capacitive screens. These options are good alternatives but differ in their technology. Both the resistive and capacitive touchscreens work by electronics detecting the touch on the screen, but the capacitive screens are much more sensitive to the touch. Nowadays, capacitive touchscreens are used more with the new mobile phone models.
