Introduction

If you have curved Samsung Galaxy Edge screens and you want to reuse them, but you don’t have the time, knowledge or inclination to refurbish them yourself, you’ve come to the right place! As part of a long-established repair and refurbishment business, WeBuyLCDs can refurbish your Samsung Edge screens at a price that’s economical for you. This includes the Galaxy S6 Edge, S7 Edge and the Edge screens in the Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, S9, S9+, S10, S10+ and Note8.

About Samsung Edge AMOLED Screens

Samsung Galaxy Edge OLEDs are the most difficult screens to refurbish. This is mainly due to the curve, but also because they need to be removed from the frame to be worked on- and it’s this stage of the process that is the most difficult for refurbishers.

The adhesive that holds Samsung’s edge-to-edge Super AMOLED screens to the frame is very strong. If not handled correctly it’s very easy to get black spots or damage the screen. Samsung Edge AMOLEDs are not made like regular LCD screens. Whereas an LCD is made of glass, the OLED-based Edge screens are made of flexible plastic. The black spots commonly found on Edge screens are the result of the layers of plastic separating from each other.

Sending Your Screens to Us

If you would like to send us Samsung Edge LCD screens to be refurbished then please complete this form. As with our iPhone and flat Samsung screen refurbishment services, we need your Samsung Edge screens to have fully working display and touch for them to be accepted for refurbishment.

In particular, we regret that we cannot accept screens with the following problems for refurbishment:-

• Screen burn. (This is a common problem with Samsung displays).
• Visible lines.
• Black spots.
• “Bruising” of the screen. (This is usually caused by the pressure of the impact when the glass cracks. Typically, it’s noticeable on a white screen and is often seen as brown marks or a cluster of bright pixels.)

Once the form has been completed it will be emailed to you. Please print off a copy and enclose it in the package you are sending to us. Please ensure your screens are packaged correctly to avoid damage in transit.

Example form. To view and fill in your details in the current version, see here.

When We Receive Your Screens

When we receive your package we will inspect each screen carefully to ensure it can be refurbished. We will also complete an intake form to ensure what we’ve been sent matches what is on your list.

Refurbishment Process

We generally use the freezer to separate Samsung Edge screens. The exact method used depends upon whether it’s an S6 Edge, S7 Edge, S8, S8 Plus, S9, S9 Plus, S10, S10 Plus or a Note 8 screen. However, all would go in the freezer at some stage.

Once the glass and frame have been removed, we clean the screen to get it ready for lamination. Again, the precise process followed depends upon which model we are working on.

Finally, the new glass is laminated to the screen and once any remaining bubbles have been removed a new frame and associated parts are fitted.

Once this is done, the screens are put into padded bags, then wrapped further to ensure they arrive safely in transit when we send them back to you.
