Introduction

If there is no obvious physical damage, ensure that you’ve exhausted software troubleshooting before replacing the component.

If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

Power off and unplug your device before beginning.
