In this repair video I’m on the bench doing what I said I’d do more of—real customer repairs. I’ve got a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in for a screen replacement, so I walk through the basics of getting it apart with heat, suction, picks and a bit of IPA, and I talk about the little “gotchas” that waste time if you’re not paying attention. One of the big ones on these newer assemblies is checking for those tiny protective stickers on the inside of the camera lenses—miss that and you’ll rebuild the whole phone, open the camera, and think you’ve ruined the quality. The main story though is what happened after the screen was installed: the new display wouldn’t wake from sleep properly, and I also saw freezing/odd behaviour. Everything was installed correctly, but the only way to get it back was disconnecting and reconnecting the battery—which is not how you want to be operating a customer device. I even considered whether Samsung are starting to do Apple-style pairing (unique display codes), so I tore it back down, put the original screen back on to rule out the logic board, and confirmed it was a bad screen. End result: the China-sourced screen went back, and I’m ordering a replacement from a different seller (Amazon) because a duff part can easily waste an entire morning.
