This Galaxy Note 8 was dropped and the glass cracked along the right side of the screen. The phone itself was turning on and working properly, but the glass on the outside of the screen was cracked and needed to be replaced. We see a lot of Galaxy Note 8’s come in for screen repair. We try to keep the screens in stock to allow for quick repair turnaround times, but always call ahead to set up an appointment for this repair to verify part availability. You can see our current pricing for this Galaxy Note 8 screen repair on our Samsung pricing page.
Verifying The Screen Issue
The first step in the repair process is to always verify the reported issue. With issues like cracked glass, the only thing we need to double-check is that the rest of the phone is fully functional before continuing with the repair. Once the phone has been verified as working, we are ready to move on to the repair process. In this case, the customer had been using the phone with the cracked glass for a time, so we were able to easily verify that the cracked glass was the only issue with the Note 8.
Galaxy Note 8 Screen Repair Process
A lot of repair shops will replace just the glass on these phones, or replace the display assembly. The cost may be a bit lower, but then over time the glass starts to separate from the housing and you have to go back to get the display re-installed. Or, the separation of the glass from the housing allows the glass to crack more easily as the glass is not being supported by the frame any longer.
At MackTechs, we replace the display assembly with the frame already installed on the display part. By using the Galaxy Note 8 display assembly with the frame already installed, we basically eliminate the possibility of the frame separating over time. This also helps take care of the problems that come up with slightly bent frames from whatever physical hit caused the screen damage.
The process for the Galaxy Note 8 screen repair:
- We start by disassembling the phone from the back.
- All parts are removed from the original phone, then transplanted into the new frame with the screen already installed.
- The phone is booted up after reassembly and tested for full functionality with the new display assembly.

This particular phone came from a customer that made a 45-minute trip just to bring the phone to us for repair. There were repair shops nearer to the customer’s location, but not ones that offered the same level of quality backed by a long warranty. They had a trusted friend recommend us, so they were willing to make the long drive to get the repair done right the first time.

DIY Note 8 Screen Repair
This repair is not a particularly difficult repair, but it would be considered an intermediate-level repair. There are a few cables and components that are easy to break during the disassembling of the phone, so you should be comfortable working on small electronics and set aside 3-4 hours for the repair so you can take your time. Pay special attention to the fingerprint scanner cable, use best practice methods when removing the battery, and be sure to work the antenna cables off carefully so they don’t break off the board or pull off the cable.
