Have you experienced breaking you phone's LCD and paid a lot for someone to fix it?
Way back in 2020, my husband broke his phone LCD and I paid 1,800 pesos, about $31 in today's value. It was heartbreaking for me to pay that much but at that time, I don't much about phones and I'm still afraid of doing things at my own.
Then my nephew broke his phone, hot it wet with water and never planning to fix it so I asked it from him and he gave me. That time, I asked the one I asked to fix my husband's phone to fix it but they said it's already unfixable so I tried to disassemble the parts with a help of a yt tutorial video.
I still had high hopes of the phone to be fixed ( that time Android phones are still very expensive) so I gambled on buying an lcd replacement but didn't work. At first I thought it was broken but later on I realized that it was the motherboard that was broken and years after, I was able to afford a replacement and the lcd worked.
Last week, my mother in law asked me to replace her grandson's broken phone to be given to Mia, her younger grand daughter. After giving me the money, I took advantage of Shopee's 7.15 sale and the parcel arrived today along with other orders I had and worked with the phone while on my lunch break.
Since the broken phone has been with me for a while I did the preparation beforehand and today I just installed and tried and I was successful with what I did.
Boy, the small win made me very happy and I felt very productive.

And this is how the phone looked after replacement
Since I learned to replace phone LCD, I tired to learn how it work to know where might had gone wrong when it's not working properly. It's really nice to know how things works and repair them even in the basics. Learning this skill saved money a lot because the labor cost is twice as the replacement accessory cost.
Small wins makes the day great!
What's your small win Today?
