Introduction
Use this guide to replace the screen in your Samsung Galaxy S24+.
This guide shows how to replace the screen only. If your replacement part is a screen that's pre-installed on a frame, follow this guide instead.
The screen includes the front glass and the display panel. If your glass is cracked, you will need to replace both the glass and the display panel.
This process will destroy your old screen. Don't use this guide if you're trying to harvest a screen.
