Hi. Its pretty easy, just remove the 9 screws at the back. Push your nail or a butter knife between the margin of the screen and the metallic ring of the body, work your way all around wqith your nail to loosen the small latches, top part at the last... now as the body is removed, you can clean the glass on the body. Press the metallic rim starting from top and then all around to put the phone back together. Have fun.
Btw... there is good video on youtube about "SAMSUNG NOTE n7000 DISASSEMBLY", do check it.

Hello Experts,
I had my phone on the drivers' seat between my legs, and of course, I go to get out of the car and it falls and hits the concrete. I have the zagg protector shield on it so my screen and back are still safe and clean.
The phone fell on the lower left corner of the trim and the upper corner. Both corners has abrasion on the trim and looks like it could chip off. I don't think the damage is worth trying to go about replacing the whole trim but I would like to know if it would be possible to some how sand out the cracked paint to smooth it out while keeping the same glossy sheen? Is there any special paint for this fix? Any other advice?
Thanks in advance.

Sanding it would dull the paint and it would just look dull grey. If you really want to fix it you should tape off everything but the trim (electrical tape should do the trick), sand the trim down until smooth, and apply two coats of chrome spray paint.
Not sure if all that is worth it for just a little scratch but you could try!

That sounds good. I will have to try that. Thanks.

Hi, i was wondering if you guys have any nicks or little pieces missing the polyamide frame? When i open the flaps i think my nail digs into the frame and acts like a knife and cuts it. There is plastic underneath the rubber layer of the frame. I wonder what i can use to fill that nick up and bring it back to normal it's actually bugging me. What's your Xperience? and any idea's on patching it up? lol Thanks!
if you're a real badass you can use some metal glaze then sand it down till it's flush with the frame again.
but that would take some seriously dextrous fingers.
Same here a little dent or nick, but nothing to write home about luckily. Hope you can make it acceptable for you again.

Just used toothpaste to remove a scratch off of my touchscreen...it worked! The LG FLEX screen is plastic because of the curved screen....but this works on the glass screens too. Apply a little too the screen and buff it in a circular motion for about 5 min, preferably with a micro fiber cloth (I used the disposable paper cloths that I use too clean my glasses with). Wipe it off and clean the screen with a damp cloth...this works on light scratches...would probably just make deep scratches appear less pronounced...
I have the quick window case but it got scratched in the window area of the case by my pants button on the back pocket....I guess I better invest in a screen protector although I'm not a big fan of them or cases....I just liked the functionality and look off the phone with this case...
I hope this helps others as it helped me...

According to LG, the G flex have gorilla glass 3 on top op the plastic-OLED screen properly why it works, but I'll try your tip!
Anyone else getting dust in between where the screen meets the bezel?
Just a small amount but doesn't bother me. I can clean them out using a compressed air can.
Yeah frequently. There's a small shiny piece of plastic there and the gap is large enough to get dust. Also getting dust and pocket lint around the speakers.

Hello,
I have a problem, that was caused by my own.
A few days ago the camera glass one the back of my HTC One M7 felt off and I glued it back on with some superglue.
The next day I saw that the camera glass was blind. The superglue flowed inside the glass.
Then I glued a pencil on the glass, so I could get the camera glass off again.
After that I realized that maybe some gases from the superglue have settled directly on the camera lens, as you can see on the picture (I have taped it, so that the camera lens is not getting dirty).
The camera lense didn't have directly contact to the superglue.
So now I need your help to find out a way to clean this up.
I thought about some nail polish remover with acetone or some WD40 on a cotton swab.
But I don't know if this stuff is too agressive to the camera lens and if this would destroy the camera completely.
I would be thankful for any suggestions.

A brand new camera lens cost between 3.50 - 4-50$ on ebay, cheaper than a WD40 can and will look brand new.

This is just the camera glass that you can get on ebay, but my problem is the camera lens directly.
Please read my whole post and take a look at the picture.
After the camera lens is cleaned up I would have bought a new camera glass anyway.

It might worth a try polishing it but I don't think you'll get any good results, you'll probably have to replace the camera with a new one.
I solved this problem with wd40.

WD40 on a cotton swab should do it I think. Try that first. Failing that nail polish remover that contains acetone will definitely desolve any trace of the glue. But if you use it make sure to clean the nail polish remover from the lense afterwards. And try not to let it contact any plastic or rubber. Acetone is a very powerful chemical I use it in work on a daily basis and prolonged contact with almost anything is never recommended. Plastic and rubber will begin to melt almost instantly. Prolonged contact with glass will tarnish the surface and make it appear clouded.
Dip the swab in the polish remover then squeeze of any excess to prevent it leaking inside the phone. Then swab a few times with clean water. Again squeezeing any excess to prevent it getting inside the phone.
When you fit the new glass use a uhu modelling glue. It's much thicker and won't run any where. You only need a tiny bit. So I would recommend pasting the glue onto a sheet of paper or foil. Then roll the lens through the glue before putting it in place. This way you'll get a nice thin film of glue around the outside of the glass without any big globs of glue to clean away. :good:

Thanks for this detailed instruction.
So it sounds like that WD40 does not attack any parts of the camera lens?
Is WD40 removing itself completely or does it leave a lubricant film which I have to clean up afterwards?

The WD40 may leave a film. But it doesn't contain any harmful or abrasive chemicals. Simply drying it with a clean dry swab would be enough. :good:

Hi again,
it has been a long time since the last post, but I want to share this with you.
After I tried to fix this problem with WD40, which didn't work, I bought a bottle of acetone and some precision ear sticks.
I started very carefully until the point that a little drop of acetone left the ear stick and landed on the camera lense. Then I could see that the thin film of superglue just left off and I could easily take it away.
I repeated this a few times and now my camera is back on track. Photos are best as ever.
Thanks a lot for the help here, keep going
