Fix Hinge on LG Exalt

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.

william Message me and I can guide. You, much easier than posting here back and forth.

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.

Myi I did end up figuring it out eventually. For the benefit of those who may need these instructions in the future, I'll go thru the steps here:

1. Order new frame [Login to see the link]
2. Pry off display lens, after carefully using blow dryer or heat gun to loosen adhesive. Insert a plastic card or tool from the side and slowly work your way around until the lens is removed.
3. Remove the four screws that hold the back part of the frame, and then carefully separate it. Examine the new frame as a guide to see where the back part is attached.
4. Disconnect the ribbon from the PCB, then unscrew and remove the PCB
5. Carefully pry off the ear speaker from the frame. There is a microfiber screen that may also need to be pulled out and reattached to the speaker.
6. On the new frame, pull off the blue plastic from the adhesive surrounding the speaker hole, and press the speaker into place, oriented as it was before.
7. Install the PCB into the new frame
8. Thread the ribbon thru the notch in the new frame, and press the frame into place. This is probably the hardest step, as it's a very tight fit.
9. With the phone open and face down, look for a gap in the back of the hinge, where there is a small metal hinge mechanism. Use a small screwdriver to slide the mechanism into the corresponding hole in the lower frame hinge. The phone must be in the open position in order for the hole to be aligned properly.
10. Attach ribbon, and reinstall back cover and lens.
