LG G6 Rear Glass Panel Replacement
Follow this guide to remove or replace the rear glass panel of an LG G6.
-
-
For reference, the backside of the panel is shown in the first photo. Note the clearance between the edge of the panel and the fragile ribbon cable beside the fingerprint sensor.
-
Be careful as you slice and pry to the left side of the fingerprint sensor, as seen from the outside of the phone in the third photo.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer, a heat gun, or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the G6 for about a minute to soften up the adhesive underneath the rear glass panel.

-
-
If you don't have a small object for propping, you can (carefully) perform this step at the edge of a desk or table to achieve the same angle of entry.
-
Lift the rear panel's bottom edge with your suction cup, opening a slight gap between the panel and the frame.
-
Once you've created a gap, press the flat end of an opening tool into the gap.
-
-
-
Additionally, you can use multiple opening picks for this process, leaving one in place on each side after you finish slicing to prevent the adhesive from re-adhering as it cools.
-
Slide the opening pick along the left edge of the phone to slice through the adhesive securing the rear panel.

이 단계에 사용된 도구:Tweezers$4.99
-
Use tweezers to peel away any remaining adhesive from both the rear panel and the phone's chassis.
-
Clean the adhesion areas with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) and a lint-free cloth. Swipe in one direction only, not back and forth. This will help prep the surface for the new adhesive.
-
Peel away the replacement adhesive's liner, align it with the back of the phone, and press it into place.
-
Remove any remaining liners, and replace the rear glass panel.
-
After installing the rear panel, apply strong, steady pressure to your phone for several minutes to help the adhesive form a good bond, such as by placing it under a stack of heavy books.

이 단계에 사용된 도구:Halberd Spudger$2.99
-
Slide the blade of a halberd spudger or other plastic pry tool into the opening on the edge of the rear button bracket.
-
Continue sliding your pry tool around the bracket to cut all the adhesive holding the bracket to the rear case.
-
Remove the bracket.
-
-
-
Slide an opening pick between the rear button membrane and the rear case.
-
Slide the pick around the edge of the membrane to separate it from the rear case.
-
This might take some force, as the adhesive holding the membrane to the case is tenacious. Pry slowly, to avoid puncturing or stretching the membrane.
-
