Fix Hinge on LG Exalt

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.

[Login to see the link] i meant lens adhesive to stick the lens back to the phone

william yes use Double sided sticky tape. That way you can remove the screen again should you. Vs glue which will leave behind a mess.

The only reason I suggested to use very little heat was so you can remove the lens and put back after the repair, while being able to use adhesive again. At this point like mentioned use double sided sticky tape like you see from gpd.

Myi how do you remove it with out snapping them?

[Login to see the link] how to remove the top part of phone from bottom by the hinge with out cracking anything??

william Good Q. Quite hard. No tip or trick on my end. Just try your best.
If you do end up snapping it, it will cause the cover to pop off, which will then cause the hinge to come loose, which can allow for the top and bottom to separate and eventually and snapping the ribbon cable.
Yes I have many spare parts of those little black frames connected to the front screen, which can easily be swapped out when I snap one upon removing the cover.

does anyone know where i can get the sticky glue to stick the screen back in place after taking off to replace hinge??

not the actuaally screen the lens on the outside

william Try a tiny bit of gorilla glue. Even crazy glue should work fine.

i would buy the material the phone comes with just in case i would need to open it up again but i just dont know where to buy it?

TL;DR
Probably best off with [Login to see the link]

on the side of the flex ribbon on the keypad frame the hinge cracked off the phone and I lost the metal piece that was in it (not the lock on the other side) and the little plastic cover on the outside of the frame do any1 know what those pieces are called how I could get them?

princeofthecS you basically need a new hinge.
That's what I would call it.
