I once removed the screen to clean the dust particles under it, now the glue does not attach it to the screen, how can I clean or replace the glue?

I removed my screen to do some repairs to the computer and it could not get it to stick again.

Hello. Its been a few months since I replaced screen but if I can recall I used a utility knife and a really small electronics screw driver. You have to be really careful when taking the plastic rim that surrounds the screen off (use to hands) as it is fragile plastic that will crack. Its pretty straight forward and easy. Good luck.

The kindle screen that is original to the device is glued down. When I ordered this screen it came in great packaging with all the tools I needed to make it work... Including pre-approved glue to the back of the screen. There are plastic tabs that protect the glue that you pull off when you are ready to attaching to the screen. Im not sure if every seller provides the pre-approved glue, so it is peobably best to purchase a separate set of screen glue incase it doesn't... Or incase you accidentally stick the screen to something it shouldn't be stuck to. Hope this helps

if you cant see anything on the screen you'll need the repair kit with LCD part. Search for youtube videos on how to fix it. they were very helpful and made the repair really easy for me. Just take your time and have a magnet handy to hold all the tiny screws when you take them out

Use the hair dryer to heat it up untill adhesive becomes loose. Than just pry it off with a soft plastic tool. You can use rubbing alchocol to clean any resedue left on the screen.

It already comes with glue (if you buy this one!). You just need a hair dryer but be careful with your broken screen while taking it off, mine cracked into tiny little pieces because it was cracked with 1 large crack already and it took an hour to get all the pieces off and the glue. Ended up using a combination of hand sanitizer, nail polish remover and baking soda to get all the glue chunks off because the glass was so broken that none of it came off easy. Good luck!! :)

cleaning the screen is quite simple, you can either rinse it in water and dry it off or you can take 'air in a can' and use the compressed air to blow the screen clean. I hope this helps!Cheers!

My personal advice is to buy the tape. They are easier to apply, more clean. If you prefer amore professionals way, buy loca glue.. beware, they are messy, and you will need uv light machine. Without the light, it won't set. Also, if you're carefully when you take of the broken glass, you don't need to buy adhesive bc there is a thick layer in between the digitalized glass and the lcd screen. Lift a corner first, then insert a thin plastic ruler horizontally in between the two screen, and try to wiggle it free. Clean out the broken pieces with a tweezer, then put the new screen on. If you do this step carefully, you don't have to buy adhesive, if you don't, there will be a lot of sweating and swearing when you try to clean out the old adhesive. It hard. Then use the tape. If you use the loca glue, then buy the light also, cure it , then you are done. Hope this will help.

If its your first time replacing the screen you do because the factory uses a glue that needs heating up before you can remove the screen.

I watched a YouTube video twice and then did it myself. If you also got the tool kit then you carefully remove the broken screen. The YouTube video covered that as well. I googled replacing an dip ad 2 screen and that is where I found the video.

I've only had my screen on for a short time, I couldn't get dust, hair, debris out no matter what I did. I found it easier to just remove the cheap 'protector', it helped with the response on my phone as well. You can always put it back on, as it's attached with cheap hot glue.

Dude just use crazy glue, but 1st make sure you scrape of all the existing glue from where the old screen was if not it won't fit. Also its a tight fit so if you bent your housing just a little bit then it won't fit. Good luck

I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up? The old one is very easy to remove and replace on the new display. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to lift the gray/black tape that holds the screen in. You can remove both gently. Apply them to the new screen. The outer glass is definitely included. Replacing these screens alone (no outer glass) is impossible because the screen is glued very hard to the glass. Separating the two is impossible. The glass I received seems to be the same thickness as the original glass, but I wouldn't test to see if it holds up to stresses as well :-) I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up?

I replaced just the glass. Mine now works like new.. Ensure when you order also order the adhesive tape that is offered as a add on. Also watch the YouTube on replacing screen. Go great!!

Trena - You should be able to remove it easily. The "Glue" that holds it in place is actually a dilute detergent. Should peel right up and then just clean the screen.
