Preserve the Original Display. Replace Only the Broken Glass.
Advanced glass-only repair for eligible OLED displays. Preserve the original display quality, touch response, and factory fit whenever the panel is still functioning correctly and refurbishment is technically appropriate.
Glass-only repair is recommended only when the underlying panel remains suitable after inspection.
What Is Glass-Only Repair?
When the image and touch functions are still working correctly, the damage may be limited to the outer glass. Instead of automatically replacing the entire display assembly, glass-only repair separates the damaged glass from the original OLED or LCD panel.
The panel is then prepared, laminated with new glass, finished, and tested through a controlled refurbishment process.
The goal is simple: preserve the original display whenever it is technically safe and appropriate to do so.
Is Glass-Only Repair Right for My Device?
Not every cracked display should go through glass-only refurbishment. The condition of the panel underneath the broken glass determines the correct repair path.
Glass-only repair may be appropriate when:

Inspection and Display Testing
Before any glass separation begins, the original display is inspected and tested.
We check the image, touch response, brightness, colours, visible lines, black spots, frame condition, and other relevant functions.
Glass-only repair is considered only when the original panel is still functioning and the repair is technically appropriate.
Controlled Glass Separation
The damaged outer glass is carefully separated from the original OLED panel using controlled heat, specialised equipment, and precise handling.
The objective is to remove the broken glass while protecting the delicate display layer underneath.
Adhesive and Surface Cleaning
After the broken glass is removed, remaining adhesive and contamination must be carefully cleaned from the OLED surface.
A clean and properly prepared panel is essential before new glass and optical adhesive are applied.
Precision Lamination
The new glass and optical adhesive layer are aligned and laminated to the original OLED panel using controlled pressure and specialised equipment.
Accurate positioning matters for optical clarity, touch response, edge fit, and the final appearance of the refurbished display.
Bubble Removal and Finishing
After lamination, the display goes through a controlled finishing process designed to remove trapped air and improve optical clarity.
The edges, surface, and overall lamination result are inspected before final functional testing begins.
Final Functional and Visual Testing
The display is tested again after the refurbishment process.
We verify image quality, touch response, brightness, colours, relevant functions, and the visual condition of the finished glass.
No repair is considered complete until the display passes its final inspection.

Why Preserve the Original OLED?
When a display is genuinely eligible, glass-only refurbishment avoids replacing functional components unnecessarily.
Original Display Quality
Preserving the original panel may help retain the display characteristics designed for the device.
Original Touch Response
When the original touch layer remains functional, glass-only repair avoids replacing it unnecessarily.
Factory Fit
Keeping the original display assembly may help preserve the device’s original integration and fit.
Reduced Electronic Waste
Replacing only the damaged layer can reduce unnecessary component waste when the original display remains usable.
Honest Repair Assessment
If glass-only repair is not appropriate, we recommend another repair path rather than forcing the process.
Glass Repair for Repair Shops
Repair shops can send eligible displays and devices to iFixAndFlip for specialised glass-only refurbishment, back glass work, and selected advanced repairs. Dealer pricing is provided after business verification.
Every Display Is Assessed Individually.
Photos can help with an initial assessment, but hidden OLED damage, structural weakness, frame deformation, or previous repair work may only become clear during physical inspection.
If inspection changes the recommended repair path, we contact the customer before proceeding with work that was not previously approved.
Liquid exposure, corrosion, previous repair attempts, damaged frames, or internal panel weakness can affect both repair suitability and the final result.
Customers should maintain a current backup before repair whenever possible. Repair services do not guarantee preservation of device data.
Current coverage, exclusions, and warranty conditions are explained on our FAQ & Warranty page.
