Replacing the front glass on a Motorola Krazr

[saluteromans]

OK, I found out two days later that it was the earphone speaker I trashed. The speaker is attached by a flat copper cable to the back of the lens.

If you are attempting this replacement,try heating the glass slightly with a hair dryer to soften the glue holding the lens in place, then use the credit card to lift the lens with great care!

Changed the front lens on my V9 yesterday but I found there was an electrical connection under it leading to a copper sheet stuck to the lens. The copper sheet is stuck much harder to the lens than the phone base making it difficult to very remove. I am not sure what this part does - perhaps it shows characters on the screen? I removed it along with the lens not knowing it was there and broke the lead. Phone still works OK, but just a warning to you if you are about to change your glass..

Thanks, I tried this and thought I was breaking it so I left it - I will try it again now I see it works. Ebay has the glass for sale

[daking0894]

i would have left the plastic on the front of it lol then it would be like having a new phone again

Excellent video. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. The glue holding the lens down is very tough to cut through when the lens is shattered or pin-holed. When you pull up with the card, a tiny piece of glass can fly off.

Thanx man... Mine got wet I couldnt dry it out very well so i just took it off and dried myself! thanx a bunch!

[hyperfishy]

Using a credit card was smart!! I didn't even think of that - I used a craft knife the last time I swapped out my cover, but scuffed some of the phone in the process. I'll use your trick this time around...

Damien Marley & Naz - Road To Zion

Well it was until UMG pulled this video off YouTube temporarily because I used Damien Marleys song as background music! So now you get to listen to the Plain White-T's because they obviously don't need the extra cash or recognition for using their music and are on the "approved" audio list YouTube gave me to pick from ;)

[mcflymaniacoftheyear]

Oooo thanks for the video , I need a new front glass thing coz I dropped it a while ago and its all cracked down the middle =)

[afrobob222]

Is it mostly the same with a K1m?

I suppose you just have to be careful around the buttons right?

[sourdoughress]

it looks cool with out the front glass lol-Sourdoughress

[PearleeMarie08]

I just wanted to thank you for posting this!! After I dropped my phone the front plate was the only part with damage and I certainly didn't want to buy a new phone! It was as simple to replace as it was shown in the video. The only issue I had was the glue after I removed the old plate. The phone still works fine and looks great!

[theoddballreturns]

the front screen is just black. what should i do?

[aoneftwo]

awsum dude i think im gonna use this method cuz mines crackked.but i reallllllly hope it does not screw up my phone..

[BornToLiveForGod]

Hi thanks for the video, brillaint method, I did this for my sister today as I bought a glass front off ebay also. I found putting a small amount of sticky-back-plastic on the glass before removing it, stopped it from falling apart and from flying pieces of glass occuring.

[amandaross23]

Yea the tape is a great idea!

[noop1394]

OMG!!!! I've replaced my phone twice because of this!!!!!! I swore that if it broke again I was getting a different phone. THANKS FOR POSTING....Saves me from making a claim!!!

[skinnytall123]

omg thanks you so much but where did you get the glass from

[gtptech]

I bought the glass on eBay for like $9 or something. Matrix is right on with his comment about the glass splintering if you are not careful. Might want to wear glasses just in case!

[yuk0n4]

coool..going to doo that when mine breaks sometime...someone i know broke hers and paid like 90 bucks to fix it :S

[ihatenegr0]

would this work on the v6 razr aswell theres glass you buy on ebay but im not 100% shore it comes off the same way because half the planet is useless and wont make 1 of v6 razr:< nice vid but you helped alot of us razr fans

[gtptech]

I haven't worked on a V6 personally, but I'd bet that it's just stuck on with adhesive like the V3 and Krazr.

[matrixpunk1]

Worked Great. THank you!! WARNING: Little pieces of glass/metal might fly out and hit you in the eye. Use precautions. It hurts.

[Gavenezer]

wow

i need one of them

can you send me one by post?

[gtptech]

I bought the glass on eBay. Just search for "krazr glass" and you'll find it.
