Hello, my screen cracked, do you think is posible to remove the screen from the lcd? Or is it better to buy a full lcd replacement? Thank you
The display’s digitizer glass is fully laminated to the LED display. You will need to try to fully remove the UV bonding glue from the LED, (which can be done much more easily and safely with a chemical glue removal formula made for the purpose) and get fresh UV activated glue for the rebonding process. Suffice it to say, it would really be easier to get the pre-bonded assembly and just reinstall it that way. Just because it can be done doesn’t mean it will be easy, or free from flaws or damages in the UV glue removal or rebonding process.
I am just living with the one crack running diagonally across my display since it doesn’t prevent touch function or straight on viewing of the display. I bought the glue and was going to buy the digitizer but, seeing the result of another inexperienced “repair tech’s” efforts, I decided to wait till I’m desperate.
So giving more heat to it won’t make it easier to separate? I kind of mistakenly only bought the screen only and not the LCD and it is already shipped and I didn’t want to waste my money.
what kind of solvent would I need to use to separate them?

I have the le eco Max 2 amazing phone but the 3000mah battery I really want to try and put S3 pro 4000mah battery in the phone. Everyone say it can’t be done.. but the LeEco S3 is the same size in every way as S3 pro. So I want to know did they put a bigger battery in the S3 pro or is it just a higher quality battery? Really just wanted to order both and check the size but I can’t find them anywhere.. help!
If the output voltage are same, you can try install it.
I unplugged my Leco 3 from the charger and it will not come on . Never had this problem before . What do you suggest I do ?
My virtual buttons have been watered damaged and are now unresponsive and the led lights are defected. I wanna fix this problem. Can I replace the part myself,
and if so where can I get the parts I need?
Hi, David,
The consensus among reviews of the LE Pro 3 is that it has FM radio capability. However, I do not see any chip mentioned in your article that supports FM radio. In your teardown did you find any such chip? I’m trying to build a kernel and support into Lineage-15.1 that supports FM on this device, but I don’t know which chip does the FM and so which driver and firmware to build in.
Thanks!

I checked the specifications of LeEco Le Pro 3 from its official website, the phone do not support FM redio.
You won’t be able I tried it the connector for the battery in the leeco pro 3 is bigger and it won’t connect with the s3.
