Guest oxyg3n89 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 lucky you! mine was not so easy to move from the bottom and on top was stuck completely! sounds good idea that you tried some vodka:)) also saw on youtube people using hair dryer does job for separating digitizers as 50-60 celcius temperature does melt glue. Bought the white body replacement for my gray SF. Changing it was super easy - only harder part is the digitizer, but when you start from the bottom, the danger of breaking it is fairly minimal. I had to remove some glue from the digitizer afterwards - I think that alcohol (I used some russian vodka I had around at the time) is the best way to go - it removes the glue but didn't hurt the black paint on the glass. Overall I am very happy with my new OLED white SF. And the battery cover has much better fit now!!! Best money spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shakerist Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Tried to record what I did it was a crap video so i deleted it however I uploaded a video of me removing the digitizer with a hair dryer. Loving the new case :P but I have 2 problems, I think I did not remove the residue off the digitizer properly and i think that it is getting in the way of the proximity sensor as the purple circles had some residue on it, I didn't think it would effect it but it did so now my proximity sensor is not working which isnt that bad it just means the screen doesnt go off when making a call, My second nag is is that the menu, home and back key isnt fluch with the case its slightly more inwards, this isnt a big problem it just feels weird. I know have a sexy blade Edited January 27, 2012 by shakerist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
