Is there a way to fix a broken hinge on the LG Exalt VN220? A piece of my phone cracked off, and the top screen part is now dangling. Just the right side is holding it together.
Fix Hinge on LG Exalt

Flipp Yes, Every part on those phones can be replaced.
Flipp You Can, you need to buy the part online, but requires you to remove the screen then the casing and a few screws. Take off the back cover, and basically remove the hinge and swap it out, now you got make sure not to break anything else while doing that, otherwise you'll be needing to replace other parts as well.
or just have someone do it for 60-65.

Anyone know how to take the screen of to change the frony cover do you need to heat up the area around the screen?
I've bought LG parts here many times.

A blow dryer or heat gun work fine
Flippy Macher I'll tell you off the bat when using a heat gun be extremely cautious if it gets hotter then what you could actually touch meaning if you can't put your hand on there anymore you probably fried your LCD so be extremely cautious.
There's no adhesive on the LCD, it's just around the plastic.
You can try peeling it off slowly with a playing card/metrocard or something thin.
My only reason for you to use heat is that way you can stick back the screen after removing it otherwise you're going to need some type of adhesive to hold the screen back to the frame.
Flipp You can order entire new housings on aliexpress.
CallMeACynic Yes you sure can. But don't expect to get all the small parts. For example the rubber on the top of the bottom hinge, and the metal bracket which determines when the phone is open or closed. Basically it's doable if you literally take off every small part and build the new housing. A little warning, it's a real pita. So do it at your own risk. Aside from waiting a few weeks before getting the parts.
Just so you can see for yourself the difference. Go to globalpartsdirect.com and match up the parts. You'll see some have small parts.
Myi can someone suggest how I remove the lens after heated on the sides from the top half of phone there's no room to wedge it out???
william If you read up thread, Or rather if you did not read up thread, be really careful if you're using heat because you'll mess up the screen.
Use a metrocard, that's something that you have in New York, Or a wedge bar any plastic piece to pull it up. Even a playing card should help.
If you ever fixed any phone or have any plastic prybars that's the best tool.
Just curious what are you looking to do?
I would not advise you to use any metal knives or sharp objects you'll end up scratching the plastic screen and the real screen.
william also be careful not to snap the little tabs when pulling off the cover. They break really easy.

Can someone post a link for a replacement part? I am looking for the LG exalt Speaker/outer mic.
william Yes, I know about that. My question is which part is the Mic? I see this:
https://globaldirectparts.com/oem-lg-exalt-lte-vn220-microphone-eab62830801/
But I dont know if its for the regular mic, speaker mic, or either. Want to know if anyone has any experience with this.
Flippy So if you need the speaker that would be...

And if you'll need a new mic because people can't hear you on speaker or the mic on the main pcb board, meaning when your off speaker people cant hear you then you'll need ...
https://globaldirectparts.com/oem-lg-exalt-lte-vn220-microphone-eab62830801/
Yes there's two mics. one for speaker and one when off speaker. they are both the same. Though they need to be soldered on or using heat to pull off the old ones and put the new one on. or spend $20 and but a new board on which has a new mic, so in essence another $17-$18. though its backordered Now.
Myi Great thank you! The mic for being on speaker is the little hole on the front of the unit, correct?
@Myi actually not that good whats the proper way to heat the sides without burning the lcd screen? i had to buy new glue for it bc heating didnt work for me??
william yes use Double sided sticky tape. That way you can remove the screen again should you. Vs glue which will leave behind a mess.
The only reason I suggested to use very little heat was so you can remove the lens and put back after the repair, while being able to use adhesive again. At this point like mentioned use double sided sticky tape like you see from gpd.

@Myi how to remove the top part of phone from bottom by the hinge with out cracking anything??
william Good Q. Quite hard. No tip or trick on my end. Just try your best.
If you do end up snapping it, it will cause the cover to pop off, which will then cause the hinge to come loose, which can allow for the top and bottom to separate and eventually and snapping the ribbon cable.
Yes I have many spare parts of those little black frames connected to the front screen, which can easily be swapped out when I snap one upon removing the cover.
william Message me and I can guide. You, much easier than posting here back and forth.

does anyone know where i can get the sticky glue to stick the screen back in place after taking off to replace hinge??
i would buy the material the phone comes with just in case i would need to open it up again but i just dont know where to buy it?
on the side of the flex ribbon on the keypad frame the hinge cracked off the phone and I lost the metal piece that was in it (not the lock on the other side) and the little plastic cover on the outside of the frame do any1 know what those pieces are called how I could get them?
princeofthecS you basically need a new hinge.
That's what I would call it.
