The screen swap was easy peasy, the hardest part was getting the old screen out. Mine was already broken, and I wasn’t keeping the front plastic, so I didn’t have to worry about being too careful, except around the top edge where the mics and ambient light sensor are.
The case swap was a bear, took forever. I’m fairly handy, but the whole process took almost 4 hours. My buddy was doing his in tandem with me and he was over 5 hours, and that’s with me lending a hand towards the end.
It looks great, in my opinion, and I’d do it again, I’d just start earlier in the day 😬
As far as the OLED goes, so far it looks good. The stock brightness slider isn’t working, it must be a software thing? I have had zero time to look into it. I haven’t even played a single game on it since doing the swap. I’ll report back when I have time to give it a fair shake.
Awesome job, was it hard ?
Changing the screen was easy peasy. The glue is tough to get off, but my screen was already broken. I did my buddies screen too, which wasn’t broken, and he wanted to save it, so I had to be more careful. That took a bit more effort to do carefully.
But that’s the hardest part, everything else is easy.
The hard part for me was changing the front case, that took significantly more time and effort. A million little parts and screws and stuff. Took hours.
But if you’re just changing the screen? Not so bad.
I’d still do it all again though, looks great
