Introdução
Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken screen on your OnePlus Nord.
If the frame is deformed, it's important to replace it to make sure the new screen will mount correctly and won’t suffer damage from uneven pressure.
Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%. The battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured, but the chances of that happening are much lower if discharged.
Note: This guide instructs you to replace only the screen while leaving the original frame and motherboard in place. However, some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires a very different procedure. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.
O que você precisa
-
-
Switch off your phone.
-
Heat an iOpener to loosen the adhesive beneath the rear glass. Apply the iOpener for at least two minutes. You might want to repeat this step several times during the rear glass removal.
-
-
-
Apply a suction cup to the back of the phone, as close as possible to the center of the right edge.
-
Pull on the suction cup to create a gap between the rear glass and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick along the edge to the bottom right corner.
-
Leave the opening pick in its place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
-
Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the ten 3.6 mm-long screws from the motherboard cover.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to disconnect the battery by prying the connector straight up from its socket.
-
-
-
Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the seven 3.6 mm-long screws.
-
-
-
Use the flat edge of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the display connector from its daughterboard socket.
-
-
-
Apply a suction cup to the right edge of the display.
-
Pull up the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap.
-
Insert the point of an opening pick into the gap and slide it to the bottom right corner.
-
Leave the opening pick in its place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Insert a second opening pick at the bottom right corner.
-
Slide the opening pick along the edge to the top right corner of your phone.
-
Leave both opening picks in their place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Carefully thread the display cable through the frame.
-
Remove the display.
-
If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).
The best way to secure the new screen is to apply a sheet of custom-cut double-sided tape to the back of the screen.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

So essentially the greater part of the guide is only necessary because OnePlus decided to have the display connector at the back of the phone rather than at the front under the display? What a poor choice repairability-wise on their side, very disappointing! Otherwise great guide.
Hi Nikola, yes, this is troublesome! Indeed, you have to make a few moves until it is possible to remove the display. Unfortunately, there is no easier way.
Why do guides only show you how to take apart screens and not how to apply a new one?
Hi @Tee Jay, to reassemble your OnePlus Nord and install the new screen, follow the steps in this guide in reverse order.
But how do I apply the screen again? What kind of glue should I use and where do I put it?
