Has anyone ever tried using a heating plate, such as the one on a 3d printer to heat the screen of a tablet to remove it? My 3d printer has a heating plate where I can set it to heat to a certain temperature up to around 110 Celsius. It’s accurate to a couple of degrees. I was just wondering if it might be possible to use this heater, along with some setup to only heat the edges of the screen, having more control over the temperature.
@dirgesan sound absolutely doable. (of course it will depend on the size of your hot plate). Just make sure that you do not go way above 80deg Celsius since otherwise you could destroy your LCD. Give it a try and take some pictures to create a guide for this https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/new
I just replaced a battery in a Galaxy S7 Edge I have a heat gun that I’ve never used but the kit came with the iOpener. I figured why not it came with it and it worked great granted the phone had a bulging battery which was separating the backplate which probably made it easier. Your idea sounds pretty sound for certain things especially a controlled temperature.
