So You Cracked Your Phone Screen. Here's What to Do.Posted by fix local on September 19th, 2022  You can almost see it happening in slow motion: your smartphone is in your hand for a moment, and the next thing you know, it's dropped to the ground in a free fall. Sometimes the glass and plastic layers remain intact, but in most cases, this condition causes the face to break, crack, or break. Thanks to the correct repair movement, the options for repairing the damaged screen are extended. Between simple DIY repairs, third-party repair shops, and manufacturer-sponsored mail-in programs, there's an option for everyone. So take a deep breath before picking up your broken screen/phone to check it out. Even if the crack spreads like a spider's web, there is a solution. Why Do Screens Break So Easily?Ah, the perennial question: Why is this ,000 device so prone to damage in the first place? Both are difficult to reconcile between customer needs and engineering realities. In other words, we want phones with high-quality screens and beautiful designs. However, those thin bezels and bezel-less displays have to make some concessions in the durability department. But regardless of the design nuances, according to Red Zombie, a repair and parts store in Redfield, Utah, it's really about the power of the tire. "When you drop the phone, the elastic energy stored in the phone's glass is converted to surface energy, causing the glass to crack," the company notes in a September 2018 blog post. "[When] you drop the phone, the impact force overcomes the surface compression, resulting in small stresses that can cause the screen to break." To combat this reality, companies like Apple and Samsung are trying to make stronger glass to absorb the impact. Red Zombie says that most manufacturers mix zinc with aluminum to create a strong base for the phone's body. Like it? Share it! |
