Step 10

Remove the display from the phone.
ALWAYS remember to thoroughly and gently clean the surfaces and remove any and all remaining or leftover old adhesive. this is a crucial step in assuring that your new adhesives “bond” properly and securely to provide adequate adhering, as well as to keep any dust or dirt and other undesired subjects from entering the device.
Using B7000 Adhesive, carefully place a thin layer of glue around the edges where the old screen used to be. Carefully place the new OnePlus LCD and Touch Screen into place. This may take a little adjusting but the screen should fit perfectly into place. Apply pressure along all the edges to secure the screen in place.

skipped a step removing the plate around the camera. It should be after step 6 and before step 7.

otherwise this guide is meh. its okay. it gets the job done, I guess.

I only have a broken front glass on my 1+6t the screen seems ok what differences are there and where do I get a good quality front glass for it. I have never disassembled a phone before but I know a bit about electronics and know how to put computers together and I don’t think it is worth me paying a third of the phon’s cost for a whole screen and/or pay someone to repair it

Step 7 is too complicated. Just remove the metal thingy above the battery connector and pull it up carefully.

Else its a good guide

Raygin - Apr 30, 2021

step 9 was kinda implossible for me, even though i used alcohol and heat before.. had to dig my Jimmy under the broken corner (top left), cracked some of my screen and was somehow able to lift the screen far enough to get under it.. im also missing some detailed instructions of the reassembly, had to watch a video for this

Ishwari Khalate - Nov 21, 2021

My phone fell down and has a black screen. The screen has no cracks at all. And the phone is working too as I am able to hear the notifications and incoming calls. So any idea how much it would cost to repair it?
