• Color spots or black areas on the exterior screen.
• Vertical or horizontal lines that don't disappear even if you restart the phone.
• Light leaks or odd glows on the edges of the front panel.
• A hit or drop right on the exterior screen part, cracking the glass.

General Tips Before Starting

• Backup your data just in case.
• Turn off the Galaxy Z Fold 8 before opening it.
• Work on a clean, well-lit surface without rushing.

5. Disconnect the flex of the exterior screen from the motherboard connector.
6. Carefully remove the damaged screen, avoiding bending or marking other phone parts.
7. Clean remaining adhesive or dirt from the area where the new screen will be placed.
