So over the last week or so, I've noticed light bleeding out the top and side of my PH-1, and finally last night the whole screen popped out on me, making it a bit awkward to use. While I was planning to replace my phone this year, I was wondering how simple this would be to replace.
I actually wanted to replace my screen before this happened, there's some color discoloration happening and stuck pixels, but I didn't want to make the effort of swapping the screen (all the reviews say the screen is basically a nightmare to remove without breaking). Surprise, my came off perfectly fine in one piece.
I figured as long as the screen is off and I have access to the inside, I should replace the battery as well since it's like what, 4 years old at this point? Might as well give the phone a new lease on life if the price is reasonable.
So basically, I wanted to know if there are OEM/replacement parts available for a) the screen, b) the battery, and c) the glue to put it back together. Or if there's aftermarket ones that work fine, can anyone point me to a link that doesn't look like I'm rolling the dice on if they'll take my money and the website will vanish?
For the adhesive, should I go with tape or the epoxy style glue I see recommended in phone repair videos? I don't plan on opening this again, I just want it to last until I get a replacement (if I can ever find something I like) and to use it as a secondary phone afterwards until it dies.
