Why You Shouldn't Fix Your Cracked iPhone Screen On Your Own

There are few things that are worse that dropping your iPhone and picking it up only to see that the screen has cracked. Unfortunately, the problem is quite widespread and it seems that nowadays it's hard to find anyone who hasn't experienced a cracked iPhone screen at least once in their life. For many people, a cracked screen is simply a sign that it's time to buy a new phone.

​Of course, you can also easily have the broken screen replaced for a whole lot less than the price of a new iPhone so this is really only a desired solution if you've already been considering an upgrade. For everyone else, you're left with the choice of whether to hire an iPhone glass repair service or attempt to undertake the job on your own.

The Downside of DIY iPhone Glass Repair

You can easily find a range of iPhone repair kits online and also numerous videos claiming to show you the fastest, easiest way to fix your iPhone screen. Unfortunately, no matter what these videos claim, the truth is that repairing a cracked iPhone screen is an extremely delicate and quite complicated process. In fact, if the screen repair isn't done correctly, you could easily end up causing further damage that necessitates even more expensive repairs, or worse, you may end up frying your phone for good.

Although you might be able to pick up a repair kit for a few bucks, actually replacing the screen still requires specialized tools and equipment that most people don't have lying around. Furthermore, even if only the screen is broken and the LCD is still intact, making even a tiny mistake could see you frying the LCD and having to have this replaced in addition to the broken screen. The technicians at our iPhone repair shop in Tallahassee frequently see clients who've done further damage by trying to replace their own screen, which usually ends up with the customer having to have both the glass and LCD repaired instead of just a simple glass repair.

Another issue with trying to repair your own phone is that you simply never know the quality of the materials you buy online. In this case, there's a good chance that the glass that comes with your repair kit won't be of the same quality as the original glass, which means its more than likely that your screen will shatter again the next time you drop your phone.

If you do decide to try to replace your screen yourself, you only have yourself to blame should you end up causing further damage or should your new replacement screen eventually start to fail.
