How to Safely Repair a Cracked Phone Screen at Home?
A damaged phone screen can make your phone hard to use and even more likely to break further. Whether it's a small line or a large crack, fixing it the right way is important. While some minor screen issues can be repaired at home, others need professional help. At Ufone Wireless & Electronics Ltd, we understand how valuable your phone is.
That's why we've put together this easy guide to help you safely fix a broken phone screen at home. We'll also explain when it's better to come to us for expert service.
Step 1: Look at the Damage
Start by checking how bad the damage is. If the screen is cracked but your phone still works well, it might be okay to repair it yourself. But if the display is black, flickering, or unresponsive to touch, the problem may be deeper inside the phone.
Trying to repair major damage at home can make the issue worse. In that case, bring your device to Ufone Wireless and let our skilled technicians take care of it.
Step 2: Get the Right Tools
Fixing a broken screen requires some special tools. Before you start, make sure you have:
● A new screen that fits your phone model
● Small screwdrivers
● Plastic opening tools
● Tweezers
● A suction cup
● A hairdryer or heat gun
● Special glue or sticky strips for screens
You can buy these items as part of a phone repair kit. At Ufone Wireless & Electronics Ltd, we offer tools and parts for many different phones. If you need help finding the right items, our team is always ready to assist you.
Step 3: Follow the Steps to Repair
● Heat the Edges
Use a hairdryer or heat gun to warm the edges of the screen for about two minutes. This helps loosen the glue holding the screen in place.
● Gently Lift the Screen
Place the suction cup on the screen and pull gently while using a plastic tool to lift the screen. Be careful and work slowly so you don't break other parts.
● Unplug the Cables
After you lift the screen, you'll see some small cables inside. Use tweezers to disconnect them. These cables connect the screen to the main part of the phone.
● Attach the New Screen
Connect the new screen cables in the same way. Fit the screen into place and use glue or sticky strips to hold it down firmly.
● Test Before Closing
Before you press the screen down fully, turn the phone on and make sure the screen works. If everything looks good, finish sealing it.
If the screen does not work, you may have missed a step or connected something the wrong way. You can try again or bring it to Ufone Wireless, and we'll help fix it.
Step 4: Use Screen Crack Protection
After fixing your screen, it's smart to protect it from breaking again. Using screen crack protection can save you from future damage.
Good protection includes:
● A tempered glass screen protector
● A strong phone case
● Being careful not to drop your phone or place it in unsafe areas
At Ufone Wireless & Electronics Ltd, we offer quality screen protectors and phone cases that help keep your phone safe. We'll even apply your screen protector for you if you ask.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I fix my phone screen using toothpaste or home tricks?
No. These tricks don't fix a cracked phone screen. They may hide it for a short time, but it could cause more damage later.
2. What if my phone screen doesn't respond to touch after the repair?
If the screen doesn't work, you may have missed a cable or used the wrong part. You can bring it to us and we'll check it for you.
3. How much does it cost to fix a broken screen at Ufone Wireless?
Prices depend on the phone model and how bad the damage is. You can contact us or visit our store for a free estimate.
4. Will fixing my phone at home cancel the warranty?
Yes. Most warranties don't cover at-home repairs. That's why many customers bring their phones to Ufone Wireless & Electronics Ltd for expert service.
5. Can I replace just the glass instead of the full screen?
In many phones, the glass and screen are joined together. Replacing only the glass can be very hard and risky. It's usually better to replace the full screen.
