How To Repair A Nexus 6 Cracked Screen

Cracked screens are still a common problem for all of the newest phones, even if the Motorola Nexus 6 features an AMOLED capacitive touchscreen and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Whether your device has a crack on the glass lens, LCD display or digitizer touch screen, we’d suggest you replace the hermetically sealed LCD assembly with Frame, as it’s much easier to do and you have a lower risk of more damage. Here we walk you through how to replace a broken Nexus 6 screen.

 

Tools Needed:

1. Remove the Motorola Nexus 6 SIM Card Tray.

 

  • ● Power off the device;
