The moment you cracked your phone screen accidentally is where you start thinking of various remedies to put it back into a clean sheet of glass. If you’ve ever thought of fixing your cracked phone screen with superglue, you're not alone. In fact, some people thought of repairing their phone screen with a windshield repair kit and other elements.
If you’re unsure of what to do after smashing your phone screen, here’s what you need to know about the right way to fix your cracked phone screen.
Let’s get started!
Can I fix a cracked phone screen with superglue?
Let's put it into context: is it practical and advisable to fix a cracked phone screen with superglue? We all know that Superglue is an adhesive element used to patch broken things. But can it work with your broken phone screen?
There are various things to consider over here. But before you walk into a store to buy super glue, be aware that - no matter what - it won’t erase the broken lines on your screen. And for a start, that forfeits your aim of fixing a cracked phone screen with superglue already.
That’s not, over here are other things you need to understand just when you think of repairing your broken phone screen with super glue or any other adhesive material:
- It may damage the screen further,
- It may harm your phone’s warranty.
1. It may damage the screen further
Let’s start with the first one: applying glue on your phone screen may damage the screen further and render it useless. Superglue contains cyanoacrylate, an element used in stopping a small glass/plastic crack from spreading wide. However, it doesn’t work well with phone screens.
We've seen situations where a cracked phone screen stopped responding to touch after applying superglue on it. Even so, it didn't help in erasing the irritating broken lines on the screen or make them look any good. in addition, applying superglue on your cracked phone screen may create some bumps on it, making it unsatisfactory to touches.
That’s just about what you see and feel after trying to fix your phone screen with superglue. How about the functionality of the screen? Can superglue damage your phone screen?
Depending on how bad the screen is broken, superglue may end up creating dead pixels or making some part of your phone screen completely useless/unreadable. And besides that, superglue may damage other internal and external parts of your phone if you don't take caution.
To sum that up, another reason you shouldn't try to fix your cracked phone screen with superglue is that it may stick your phone together and make it inoperable by a technician. In such a case, the whole phone may break into pieces when a technician tries to open it. Beware!
2. It may harm your phone’s warranty
As you already know, you may enjoy free repair service for certain damages if your phone is still under warranty. However, trying to fix your broken phone screen yourself with superglue may void your warranty.
Normally, repairing your gadget by yourself or from an unauthorized repair shop voids your warranty automatically. So, that's no difference from also trying to fix a cracked phone screen with superglue.
That means, besides rendering your phone inoperable, you may also lose your warranty (free repair services) if you fix your broken phone screen with superglue. The best you can do when you break your phone screen is to replace it.
Where to fix your cracked phone screen
Fixing cracked phone screens has been somewhat challenging over the years. It’s challenging in the sense that people don’t know if they’d get high-quality screen replacement in return and if the technician won’t damage their expensive phone in the process.
However, it all boils down to where you fix your cracked phone screen. If you visit the official service centre for your brand, then you probably won’t have any problem in the process.
While there are some skilled unauthorized technicians out there, you cannot always guarantee if they use genuine screen replacement parts or not. And for some unskilled unauthorized technicians, they're nowhere better than you trying to fix your broken phone screen with superglue in the first place.
