My screen broke once a long time ago and when our phone drops, we usually first look at the screen to make sure everything is OK. However, what if he suffers?
Why are phone screens so sensitive? The answer to this question lies in the limitations of materials and technologies used today in the manufacture of telephones. If we want devices that are elegant and thin, we cannot expect excessive durability and strength.
The problem arises when the elastic potential energy, in the screen glass, is converted into surface energy upon impact. Then the screen cracks. Many manufacturers are experimenting with increasingly solid types of glass that can absorb the energy created by the impact, and most of them mix zinc with aluminum.
What to do after an accident? First check how much the screen is damaged - is it a few scratches or is it a "total" damage? Place it on a firm, flat, well-lit surface, then slowly try to turn it on.
If serious damage has occurred, back up important data and files immediately before it stops working. If you don't want to take your phone to a service center (and this is a recommendation anyway), here's what you can do yourself.
Duct tape, If the phone still works, try sticking a layer of duct tape or other adhesive tape on it. If you do it carefully and everything turns out as it should, there should be no problem until you get a new device.
Screen protector, Instead of duct tape, you can put protective glass on the screen - this will make your phone work for at least some time.
Seek professional help, If the damage is larger, probably the only permanent solution is to replace the screen. However, it should be done by professionals, because they have all the necessary equipment and experience.
spoken like someone who has a lot of experience with these types of matters. nice post!
