You’re texting while walking—crack—your phone kisses the sidewalk. Repair shops whisper "$300+" and manufacturers demand "authorized service only." Stop. Breathe. I’ve revived 4 shattered screens myself, saving enough cash for a weekend getaway. Here’s how anyone can DIY with Lydarz kits (no experience needed!).
🔍 Why DIY Beats Shops: The Hidden Markup
Repair centers inflate prices with labor fees and parts upsells. For example:
-
Brand stores charge 3–5x the actual part cost
-
Local shops add 50–100% markup on generic screens
-
DIY with Lydarz: Pay only for the screen + basic tools
💡 Truth bomb: If only your glass is cracked (display works fine), repairs cost pennies vs. full replacements—but shops rarely offer this.
⚠️ Step 1: Crack the Code on Your Damage
✅ Glass-Only Crack (Maximum Savings)
-
Signs: Spiderweb cracks, touch/display fully functional
-
Fix: Glass replacement (ultra-low cost)
❗ Full Screen Failure (Still Saves Big)
-
Signs: Flickering, dead zones, unresponsive touch
-
Fix: Total assembly swap (Lydarz’s pre-built frame = idiot-proof)
🛠️ Step 2: The 45-Minute Miracle (Seriously!)
Your Lydarz Lifesaver Kit Includes:
-
Screen + frame fused with factory-grade adhesive
-
Pro tools (screwdrivers, suction cup, spudgers)
-
Access to step-by-step HD videos
🔥 3 Catastrophes to Avoid
KILL POWER FIRST → Skip this, risk frying your phone.
TEST BEFORE SEALING → Plug in new screen immediately.
NO METAL TOOLS NEAR BATTERY → Sparks = disaster.
Painless Process
-
Power off + eject SIM
-
Warm edges (hairdryer 90 sec) → loosen adhesive
-
Suction cup lift → pry open with plastic tool
-
Disconnect battery (non-negotiable!)
-
Swap screens → reconnect ribbons
-
Test display/touch (breathe easy!)
-
Snap frame shut → clip for 60 mins (grab coffee!)

🛑 Don’t DIY If You’re…
-
Water-resistant phone owner (iPhone/Samsung) → resealing requires machines
-
Foldable user (Galaxy Flip/Fold) → hinge mechanics are surgeon-level
-
Under warranty → DIY voids coverage (check first!)
