A screen replacement can make your phone look and work like new again, but careful handling after the repair can help protect the new display and extend its life.
Follow these simple tips after your phone has been repaired.
Be Careful During the First Day
The adhesive around the replacement screen may need time to settle. Follow any instructions provided by the technician and avoid:
- Pressing firmly around the screen edges
- Keeping the phone in a tight pocket
- Bending or twisting the device
- Placing heavy objects on the phone
- Dropping or roughly handling it
Keep the Phone Dry
A previous repair may affect the device’s original water resistance. Keep the phone away from:
- Rain and splashes
- Bathrooms and humid environments
- Pools and beaches
- Wet hands or surfaces
Do not assume the phone is waterproof after a screen replacement.
Install a Screen Protector
A tempered-glass screen protector adds an extra layer of protection against scratches and minor impacts. It is much easier and cheaper to replace a screen protector than another phone screen.
NCQ Technology carries screen protectors for many popular phone models.
Use a Protective Case
Choose a case with:
- Shock-absorbing edges
- Raised protection around the screen
- A secure, non-slip grip
- Protection around the corners
A good-quality case can reduce damage caused by accidental drops.
Avoid Excessive Heat
High temperatures can affect the battery, screen and adhesives inside the phone.
Avoid leaving your phone:
- In direct sunlight
- Inside a hot vehicle
- Near a heater
- Running demanding games or applications for long periods when it is already hot
Use a suitable, good-quality charging cable and adapter.
Clean the Screen Safely
Use a clean microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. Avoid spraying liquid directly onto the phone or using harsh household cleaners.
Watch for Unusual Problems
Contact the repair shop if you notice:
- The screen lifting from the frame
- Touchscreen areas not responding
- Flickering, coloured lines or black spots
- Ghost touch or random screen movement
- Unusual overheating
- The display suddenly becoming dark
Early inspection may prevent a small issue from becoming more serious.
