Frequently asked questions
Yes, opening the device breaks the factory waterproof seal. You must use high quality replacement adhesive and apply it perfectly to restore basic water resistance, but it is best to keep the phone away from moisture afterward.
It is highly recommended to purchase a screen preinstalled in the titanium frame. Replacing a bare OLED panel without the frame is extremely difficult due to the ultra slim 5.8mm design of the S25 Edge.
A punctured battery is a severe fire hazard. Stop immediately, do not inhale the fumes, and place the device in a fireproof container if it begins to smoke.
Verify the display flex cable connection on the motherboard. A loose or slightly misaligned connector is the most common reason for a blank screen after a repair.
