Galaxy S8 Repair — Same-Day, North Providence RI

About this repair

The Galaxy S8's 5.8-inch dual-curved Super AMOLED loses edge touch the moment its Infinity glass cracks, so we replace the whole laminated panel with frame rather than gamble on a glass-only attempt over that curve. Its 3000mAh battery sits glued deep under the board and, nine years on, often swells against the rear glass, so we pry it out cold and scrape the adhesive before fitting a QMAX Pro cell. The rear-mounted fingerprint pad and iris module are carried over and retested so secure unlock keeps working.

• Service-Pack Super AMOLED with curved frame
• QMAX Pro battery (3000 mAh)

The edges of my S8 screen stopped responding — can that be fixed?

Edge touch loss on the S8 comes from the dual-curved Super AMOLED delaminating after a crack, so replacing the full laminated panel with its frame restores touch right out to the curved Infinity edges.

Is my old S8 battery safe if it is puffing up?

A swelling 3000mAh cell presses against the S8's curved display and rear glass and should come out soon, so we extract the glued pack cold and seat a fresh QMAX Pro battery so the phone seals flat again.

Why does my S8 show a pink or green line down the screen?

That vertical line is a failing flex bond inside the S8's Super AMOLED rather than a software fault, so it needs a panel swap, after which the iris scanner and rear fingerprint pad are transferred and retested.
