Dear #Librem5 Community,
i broke the Screen of my Librem5 which i have been daliy driving since 8 Month now. So i will order a #replacement screen from #purism ( which cost 150$, if anybody is also interested).
Did anybody already replaced the screen or knows any source with information how to do it?
the "disassemble video" from purism does not go that far: https://youtu.be/NWQW9bmwHBo
Thanks in advance for any tip and #help 🙂️
@MissBehave Did you do that with another device before? I replaced on once and getting it off with a "heat pistol" was o.k. but I didn't get the glue thin enough so there was a slight gap at the edge of the display after placing the new display.
@MissBehave If I had a 2nd chance with mine I'd have practiced gluing on the panel with hot glue before actually doing it. (E.g. using the old panel and glueing it to a flat surface multiple times).
Also for remving: I'm usually too cautious when it comes to applying heat but only if the glue is really hot you can peel of the old display "easily".

Hi Guido, thx for your reply. no, i haven't done a screen replacement before - so i am quiet nervous if i will get it done! if you have any tips how one should (or should not) do it, i am happy🙂️ since i live in germany, i thought it might take too long and be very uneconomic to send the phone to the US (and back) for the repair by purism.
