hi, when you replace a faulty battery does the screen needs to be changed as well even though the screen is fine?

Harvey - Feb 6, 2019

Normally if you can remove the battery, without damaging the screen then just replacing the battery should be ok

I had to replace the back cover as well as it was also damaged. You will have to try it and see if the adhesive is still strong enough to stick.
