Samsung Galaxy J5 2017 SM-J530 - How to pull out the display without damaging it

Best answers

How can I remove the display from a Samsung Galaxy J5 2017 without damaging it?

Heat the AMOLED evenly on a separator to about 85–100°C for several minutes, then start from the sides or bottom with a very thin flexible opener or rigid plastic strip rather than trying to lift directly under the panel [#17357654][#17401178][#17463219] Put a thick business card or similar spacer under the display so the panel can’t crack while you work [#17357654] If needed, add a very small amount of isopropyl alcohol / OCA separator into the gap and keep working in tiny steps with light pressure until the display gradually separates [#17401178][#17463219] Several replies warn that a heat gun is harder to control than a separator, so controlled bottom heat is preferred [#17433542][#17459588]

    Hello!
    I have a question, does anyone know how to disassemble the display in the Galaxy J5 2017 (and similar models) without damaging it?
    I tried to put the phone on the separator for about 1 min and temp 100 and unfortunately it did not help much.
    Thank you in advance for your answers and best regards!

    I slowly heat hot, especially because the sides and I start to push the feathers from the thinnest. As soon as he releases and begins to walk away, I start to undermine some plastic plate ... There are many other ways ....

    I understand
    What is your temperature set on Hot?
    I'm starting to slide thin openers from below and remove the glue with them, it's cool up to this point, but when I try to get under the display itself, not under the glass, it is already starting to crack, unfortunately
    It is possible that the separator is too low or I hold it too short

    Okay, thank you for the patent, I will definitely try it!
    And how much do you leave the phone on the separator?
    2min-3min ??

    It depends what solvent ... Under Samsung (only Amoled) I give 90 ° on the separator, water the IPA in the gaps and separate with a thin rigid film, which I cut from the covers for documents. There is a fairy tale, usually up to 10 minutes of fun and the display is separate.
    PS Sonnets I generally all with passive backlighting only dry, unless it is available in the purchase of backlight (e.g. apples). The principle is similar, but in them you can only approach from the edge, in most Samsung you can challenge the display from the hole under the battery ... But they are glued only on the edges.

    I have the heater set at 80 degrees, it lies quite a long time, I never counted the minutes but for sure longer than 3-5, I insert a thin card from the bottom and use chemistry but very gently then the bottom goes away without a problem, as I already have enough space to gently press the needle is under the display very little solvent and I cut all the time then I put the suction cup on and gently move the right left up down of course with a feeling if there is a lot of resistance I pour water on the opening or wet the cards and somehow it flies :)

    No offense, but I think the heat gun works well on the radiator service. I know YouTube promotes such methods, but the heat gun is too difficult to control, and the display is a delicate team. In addition, from the statements I conclude that the vast majority, if not all who have spoken, have a heater, so I do not understand why they should switch to cottage industry.

    No offense but I lack patience when when disassembling amoled in j530 I have to heat it with a separator. Hot is the bottom. High temperature but low air flow. It will not heat the phone. You'll sooner damage the display when you warm up for several seconds.
    Good heat gun with temperature control, 100-120 degrees. Heats J530 / j730 so that you can't touch it. A little ipy and set removed in 8-10 minutes. Later, I quickly dial the phone, disconnect the batteries.
    Zjo, and how do you disassemble a lcd with a broken glass? So as not to damage

    As above. With a heater. As for patience - nobody tells me to sit and watch the set warm up, there is always something else to do in the meantime.

    After all, these phones are not glued on the entire surface, unlike Samsung amoleds. Although I do not remember how in huaweiach, the last one I did quite a long time, but also rather not, sticking the backlight to the body would make no sense. In general, I do not play in the behavior of the display, the prices are such that replacing the glass itself is pointless. If so, for ambitious reasons ... It is important to tilt the glass when cutting off the adhesive as little as possible, I do it by slightly deflecting the edge of the glass with a thin opener and inserting, as I wrote earlier, as thin as and at the same time quite stiff strip of plastic. I used to play with cards, but they are too stiff and the lottery started ... It is a bit of fun, but generally the LCD works out when removed. I have several put off for testing :-) .

    They are glued on OCA patches but not glued to the housing.
    I am in favor of regenerating the displays, which is why everyone disassembles them so that they do not break. In practice, there is not enough time for regeneration and I only exchange sets :-D The disassembled matures and will be useful when you need to connect for a short time to download data. Or when I don't have a job, it regenerates it to keep it in working order.
    All clear. I have no more questions :)

    To the author of the topic. Several broken displays and can be learned. It is important to disassemble properly heating

    If it wasn't for OCA, there would be no topic. The windows themselves are torn to brute. :-) Well, almost ... And about a few broken ones ... Eh, those flying hands at the beginning ... :-)

    80 degrees, manual skills, a little imagination, plaque and isopropanol.
    The whole recipe for removable lcd.

    In AMOLEDs it is so good that you can see when the critical point is approaching when you step under the display (lcd changes shade)

    Removable IPSs are even easier. Here you need to be careful not to scratch or flood the back which scatters the light because it will be visible when displaying the image.

    Hello, I put Samsung on the heater for about 10 minutes at a temperature of 85 degrees. Then I take a metal opener, so flexible and thin 0.1mm, and delicately insert it first on the sides of the frame, and then from below. Remember to slide it literally around 0.5mm on the feel, I did not measure. As from the bottom I get a small space between the frame and the glass from the bottom I use oca liquid separator. I cover the entire glass with packing tape to catch it with the suction cup for a moment. You must remember that the LCD wanders from time to time to the heater. I try to pour this liquid in very small amounts, preferably with a thin needle and a long precision syringe, into each created gap. Thanks to this, I am starting to have space under the display, I use plastic openers for the LCD approach, also flexible in the shape of a credit card. When inserting a plastic opener I always try to pour some separator oca. Gently taking the suction cup upwards, I slowly get the entire LCD out of the frame. If the cracks are at the top in the place of electronics I do not take the LCD up but I slide it down, thanks to which the glass electronics remain intact. If the top of the glass is ok, I open the whole LCD up. Of course, all activities should be performed sensitively, and the liquid only for amoleds.

    As seba694637 wrote above - several exploded panels and only then you know how to approach the topic. At the moment, as you can see above - practically every man means it. Of course, studying descriptions and videos on YT is most useful, especially those on which the set falls off almost alone from the body after a few seconds of heating and touching with an opener, but everyone must find their own way.

FAQ

TL;DR: For Galaxy J5 2017 AMOLED removal, heat about 90°C for up to 10 minutes; "separate with a thin rigid film" and IPA. This FAQ covers temps, tools, solvents, and failure signs to avoid cracks. [Elektroda, zjo, post #17401178]

Why it matters: For DIYers and repair techs pulling a J5 2017/J530 display, this reduces breakage, cost, and rework.

Quick Facts

What separator temperature and time work best for the Galaxy J5 2017 AMOLED?

Set the separator around 90°C. Wick isopropyl alcohol (IPA) into the gap and slide a thin, rigid plastic film. “I give 90° on the separator,” one pro notes. With good technique, separation typically completes within about 10 minutes. Keep motions gentle and flat to the plane. [Elektroda, zjo, post #17401178]

Are 2–3 minutes on the separator enough before prying?

No. Let it heat longer than 3–5 minutes at about 80°C. Create a small entry at the bottom with a thin card and add minimal solvent. Use a suction cup and micro-motions to reduce stress. Rewet as needed and proceed slowly. [Elektroda, geryon, post #17417303]

Where should I start prying, and why?

Create initial gaps at the sides, then work from the bottom edge. On many Samsung models, you can also push from the hole under the battery. These AMOLED assemblies are usually bonded mainly at the edges. This path reduces flex on the display stack. [Elektroda, zjo, post #17401178]

What tools and thickness should I use to get under the display safely?

Begin with a flexible 0.1 mm metal opener to break the seal at the frame. Switch to plastic card-style picks underneath the AMOLED. Use packing tape to secure glass for a suction cup. Add small amounts of OCA separator fluid through each gap. [Elektroda, Allx84, post #17463219]

Can I use a heat gun instead of a separator? What settings?

Yes, if you control heat and airflow. Use a quality heat gun at 100–120°C with low airflow. Heat until the assembly feels too hot to touch. Add a little IPA and remove in about 8–10 minutes. Disconnect the battery quickly afterward. [Elektroda, seba694637, post #17459588]

Why do some techs avoid heat guns for this?

Heat guns are harder to control, and AMOLEDs are delicate. Uneven heating increases damage risk. If you already own a heater/separator, use it instead. “The heat gun is too difficult to control” for this precision task. [Elektroda, zjo, post #17433542]

Is IPA or adhesive remover safe on this AMOLED? What should I avoid?

Use small amounts only on AMOLED. Avoid wicking solvents into IPS/LCD units like Sony M4/M5. Solvent can infiltrate LCD layers and cause permanent discoloration. Apply sparingly and keep it away from backlight films. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17401156]

Which solvent do pros use for this job?

Many use isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Some also use dedicated adhesive remover like 8333. Apply the solvent at the gap and work with a plastic card. This reduces stress and helps the adhesive release smoothly. [Elektroda, rafallos5, post #17398007]

How do I stop the panel cracking when I slide under the display?

Insert a thick business card under the display to distribute force. Heat the separator to about 100°C first. The card acts as a safety buffer while you advance plastic picks. Keep movements shallow and parallel to the plane. [Elektroda, jusek00, post #17357654]

What visual warning tells me I’m about to damage an AMOLED while prying?

Watch for a shade change in the AMOLED near your tool. That indicates a critical stress point. Back off, reheat, and change angle. For IPS, avoid scratching or wetting the backlight, which will show in images. [Elektroda, xebo, post #17461213]

Quick 3-step: How do I separate the J5 2017 display cleanly?

  1. Heat on a heater ~85°C for about 10 minutes; tape the glass for suction.
  2. Open sides with a 0.1 mm metal pick, then the bottom. Inject tiny OCA separator amounts at each gap.
  3. Reheat intermittently. Slide plastic cards under the panel and lift with a suction cup. If the top is cracked near electronics, slide downward instead. [Elektroda, Allx84, post #17463219]

Should I reheat during the process?

Yes. Cycle the assembly back to the heater as you gain depth. Warm adhesive releases more cleanly, reducing force and risk. Add small amounts of separator fluid as you progress. Keep lift shallow and controlled. [Elektroda, Allx84, post #17463219]

How do I handle cracks near the top electronics area?

Do not lift upward through the flex area if the top is cracked. Instead, slide the assembly downward to protect the electronics. Maintain heat and use plastic picks with minimal solvent. Keep tension low with a suction cup. [Elektroda, Allx84, post #17463219]

Tips for LCDs that aren’t fully glued (e.g., Sony Z1/Z3, P8 Lite)?

They are usually not bonded across the full surface. Minimize glass tilt while cutting adhesive. Slightly deflect the edge and insert a thin, stiff plastic strip. Avoid stiff bank cards, which can snag and crack panels. [Elektroda, zjo, post #17460699]

What’s a simple starting technique if I have only basic tools?

Heat the sides and start with the thinnest pick you have. Once it releases slightly, slide in a plastic plate. Work slowly around the perimeter. This creates entry paths with minimal stress. [Elektroda, KRY5PIN, post #17353284]

Do I need to disconnect the battery during this process?

Yes, after you free the set, disconnect the battery promptly. A heat-gun workflow targets 100–120°C with low airflow and quick disassembly. This helps avoid powered-line stress. Then proceed with the rest of the removal. [Elektroda, seba694637, post #17459588]
