Replacing the front glass on a Motorola Krazr

Lay down newspaper (the old glass may splinter some when removing). I used a flat head eyeglass screwdriver and plastic credit card. I bought the replacement glass on eBay for about $10.00.

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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...
