How To Choose a Screen For Your Smartphone
Mobile technology has made communication easier than it was. While gaining access to just about anything remains a button away, moving around with your LG cell phone can leave you with a cracked, damaged, faulty LCD and touchscreen. This is because the glass is the most delicate part of your LG K7 smartphone.
The ideal protection would be to cover your LG K7 with a case and/or a screen protector. However, in the case where its already cracked, you will need you to have replacement accessories at hand.
What makes up my LG screen assembly?
Before you proceed with screen replacement of your LG Tribute, LG K7, or LG Nexus, you need to understand what it is comprised of. The screen assembly of your LG phone is made up of three layers, as listed below:
- LG digitizer Glass - This is the glass part of your phone screen that covers the LCD. It is used to convert analog signals to digital ones. This is what converts your actions such as touch, presses, and swipes, into the display you end up seeing on your smartphone screen.
- LG digitizer flex ribbon - This is the part that transfers data from the digitizer glass to your LG K7. It is layered in-between the LCD and the digitizer.
- LG LCD panel layer - Liquid crystal display (LCD) is an extremely thin and fragile computer monitor. It acts as the source of your LG's images.
How do I know if the LCD screen of my LG K7 is broken?
Different hazards equally cause different levels of damage to your LG phone display. In that regard, it is very easy to know how deep the level of damage to your phone is.
- Replace digitizer - If, for instance, your screen is cracked yet it works just fine and is responsive to touch, then you know that it is only the digitizer that will need replacement.
- Replace LCD screen - If, on the other hand, your screen is dark, or black and is not responsive to touch, this means that the LCD screen of your phone is broken.
Will I have to purchase all the screen parts my LG K7?
Just because you have caused damage to your LG cell phone does not necessarily mean you need a replacement for all the parts of the accessory set. Depending on your level of damage, you can either buy the glass alone or the three combined set in the case where your LCD screen is cracked
You must realize, though, that you cannot damage your LG's LCD layer without cracking through the digitizer glass and flex ribbon. This is why, if this is the case, then you will need the replacement of the whole kit.
It is important to also note that replacement of the display digitizer glass of your LG Tribute will not guarantee the quality maintenance of the flex ribbon underneath it. To ensure good functionality, replace your LG digitizer as well as the cable underneath.
