Educate customers about the difference between glass-only replacement and full display replacement, how some shops cheat, and how to make an informed decision.
What Is Glass-Only Replacement?
If your display works fine, meaning both the touch functionality and the display quality are intact, but only the outer glass is broken, you don’t need a full display replacement. Instead, you can opt for a glass-only replacement.
What is Involved in Glass-Only Replacement?
Glass-only replacement involves removing only the top broken layer of the glass and replacing it. This is done using specialized machines like LOCA or OCA.
Benefits of Glass-Only Replacement:
✅ Cost-effective: It saves you money compared to a full display replacement.
✅ Original Display: Your original display and touch functionality remain intact.
✅ Like New Look: When done properly, the phone looks brand new.
The Common Shop Trick
Be cautious of deceptive practices in the repair industry.
Some repair shops will tell you:
“The display is damaged – you must change the full combo.”
Even if only the glass is cracked, they might charge you between ₹3000–₹5000 for a duplicate combo display. Here’s what they often do:
Keep your original parts for resale.
Use low-quality local combos that degrade performance.
Provide no warranty or after-support.
Result in poor display brightness or touch sensitivity.
Recognizing When You Only Need Glass Replacement
How can you tell if you really only need a glass replacement? Look for these signs:
The display shows images clearly.
The touch functionality is 100% operational.
There are no lines, black spots, or display leaks.
In this case, opting for glass replacement is both sufficient and much more affordable.
