Introduction

Go to step 1

If your Blu Grand M2 smartphone has a display problem—a shattered screen, a screen with vertical lines, or a flickering screen, use this guide to replace the display screen of your phone in six easy steps.

The display screen is used to provide inputs and outputs to the user. A faulty display screen will prevent a user from using the smartphone functionalities such as the touch screen feature.

Before using this guide, be aware that this solution works only with the Blu Grand M2 smartphones. Be sure to check your phone model before using this guide.

Step 5 requires you to use an iOpener from the iFixit toolkit before you can remove the display screen. Be careful not to overheat the iOpener during the repair. Overheating may cause the iOpener to burst.

Before beginning, make sure to power off your phone completely and disconnect from any external power source.
