Fix Hinge on LG Exalt

Macher So any luck? Or you just went somewhere to fix it?

Flipp You can order entire new housings on aliexpress.

CallMeACynic Yes you sure can. But don't expect to get all the small parts. For example the rubber on the top of the bottom hinge, and the metal bracket which determines when the phone is open or closed. Basically it's doable if you literally take off every small part and build the new housing. A little warning, it's a real pita. So do it at your own risk. Aside from waiting a few weeks before getting the parts.

Just so you can see for yourself the difference. Go to globalpartsdirect.com and match up the parts. You'll see some have small parts.

Myi can someone suggest how I remove the lens after heated on the sides from the top half of phone there's no room to wedge it out???

william If you read up thread, Or rather if you did not read up thread, be really careful if you're using heat because you'll mess up the screen.

Use a metrocard, that's something that you have in New York, Or a wedge bar any plastic piece to pull it up. Even a playing card should help.
If you ever fixed any phone or have any plastic prybars that's the best tool.
Just curious what are you looking to do?

I would not advise you to use any metal knives or sharp objects you'll end up scratching the plastic screen and the real screen.

Myi thx
I'm trying to replace the hinge

Myi I'm trying with playing card but it just bends and doesn't pry up the screen??

william also be careful not to snap the little tabs when pulling off the cover. They break really easy.

And if you'll need a new mic because people can't hear you on speaker or the mic on the main pcb board, meaning when your off speaker people cant hear you then you'll need ...

Yes there's two mics. one for speaker and one when off speaker. they are both the same. Though they need to be soldered on or using heat to pull off the old ones and put the new one on. or spend $20 and but a new board on which has a new mic, so in essence another $17-$18. though its backordered Now.

william Youre welcome. how did the repair go?

Myi Great thank you! The mic for being on speaker is the little hole on the front of the unit, correct?

[Login to see the link] actually not that good whats the proper way to heat the sides without burning the lcd screen? i had to buy new glue for it bc heating didnt work for me??

william Don't use any glue. Just a pry bar.

Flippy yes it is.
