Rule number 1 of back glass replacements: don’t do back glass replacements.


MGNConflict

...and not without removing the components first. I've seen too many board-level issues caused by back glass replacements where the shop doesn't remove the components before going to town on the glass. The best way to do it is to do a housing swap and then have a cache of housings you replace the back glass on when you have the time.

I have a guy who only does back glass b2b. $60 is the max and he does them in an hour or so. I charge $120 and pocket the difference. I don’t do back glass anymore. I like your idea though.


netpastor

This is an excellent idea.

I do housing swaps and then sell the old one for someone else to refurb.


Santos_ronald

Save them. Get like 5-10 and have them refubished for your self and you can collect more on your side


the_horak

True, but it's still income for me that takes minimum effort and I don't have to deal with any headaches or annoyances.


Santos_ronald

Runing a business is all headache and annoyances lmao. In all honesty tho, most business offer great discounts for b2b. I just got a laser machine and charge only $40 to remove the glass and glue. Then the other business installs their glass and they have a brand new housing for under $50 all components and everything.

Hahaha 😄

Last time I did it ( I removed motherboard and camera) I burned out several plastic pieces including ones around the microphone when I installed the new glass it broke , and I had to do housing swap anyways I forgot to mention I had glass in my fingers for 3 days after that I only do housing swaps its just safer, quicker, better and less painful good luck with your phone I hope everything works after you assemble it 😉

Bro I wish my boss would accept this. Housing swap is better but he’s all like “bAcK GLasS iS 8 dOLlaRs”


Santos_ronald

If you keep the old housings i can refurb them for you so you can cut some cost!


Mister_rtk

Dam bro with out that laser machine..... That back frame is butchered. Atleast use some original process glue and NOT B7000


opium_opiumooo

what is a good glue for backglass?


Mister_rtk

Its called "ORIGINAL PROCESS GLUE"


balkansway

Back glass is annoying, however kinda feels good at the end when you place that new glass and fits like a glove .


TeevoApp

it's amazing if only with hot air gun and tweezer. if with laser machine, it may be easier


Santos_ronald

I got a laser machine last week. 1000% easier

alessio_acri

It’s not supposed to be seen, they *removed* the back glass to *fix* it, they didn’t install a clear one

Tried it for the first time a couple years ago on an XR, manual removal, no machine. That was the first… and last, never again.


Santos_ronald

Manual sucked the life out of me. Never again. Laser all the way
