The LCD on my camera took a hard hit cracking the MegaGear LCD Optical Screen Protector. How do I remove the protector to replace it?

Using a hair dryer slightly warm the screen protector and it should come off easily.

I would go to the manufactureres web site. Check the Q&A; section or email them.

Try using a very thin plastic piece on the very corner and pry up gently. Then if you can get your fingernail under it, gently peel away the protector from the screen. After removing, try cleaning the screen with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner. Do not spray directly on to the screen. Key word here is ' gently'. Good luck!

I have no idea. I've never had one break on me. If I was you I would contact the manufacturer I'm sure they'll be able to help you. Good luck at let me know how you make out. John

Heat it gently with a hairdryer, and it will loosen up. I did this myself, and had found out about this from their website

I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up? The old one is very easy to remove and replace on the new display. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to lift the gray/black tape that holds the screen in. You can remove both gently. Apply them to the new screen. The outer glass is definitely included. Replacing these screens alone (no outer glass) is impossible because the screen is glued very hard to the glass. Separating the two is impossible. The glass I received seems to be the same thickness as the original glass, but I wouldn't test to see if it holds up to stresses as well :-)

This happened to me too!! Does anyone know of a cheap fix? I called Olympus and it will be $145 to fix it. One day it was fine, the next day it was internally cracked :(.

Replacing the glass really does take a heat gun. Being overly cautious, I used a hair dryer on a low setting and this took forever. Patience is the key to separate the glass from the video panel. Obviously, I didn't have patience this day so I ended up breaking the panel as well (thankfully I had insurance). There are video's on YouTube that explain the whole process. Can it be done - YES! Is lots of patience required - YES! If the screen in my replacement phone goes again, I have a little more confidence to do this once more.

I use a microfiber cloth to remove smudges easily no problems. Images on LCD are crisp, non-distorted, no rainbow effects off the glass screen protector and it's holding up well so far. I'm happy I got it for my Sony camera.

Yes, this is the glass. Simply, and carefully peel up the edges of the old glass then unscrew the screen behind it and unplug. Make sure you long up the camera mount and button before sticking it on.

Digitizer will replace your shattered screen. The LCD screen is under the digitizer. Most difficult part is removing the shattered screen. If rubber frame is damaged replace. Very cheap. Plastic tools are not much help. Use all the utube sites for assistance.

This is most of it. You will also need a extremely small screw driver, a pry tool, and double sided adhesive tape. I used super glue and you can see some residue through the screen. Make sure it is just the screen that is broken and not the digitizer as well. Best of luck to you

I would contact Lathem directly about a replacement. You might be able to get a new screen. They have always been helpful when I call.

Just the screen but you might want the 3M brand 2mm tape too. Mine doesn't actually stay in securely but I think that's more of the fault of me ruining the edges from drops. Make sure you get the screen nice and hot with a hairdryer before trying to pry the screen off or you're going to ruin your LCD. And don't forget to pop out your battery, sim card, and memory card. To be honest replacing a screen isn't easy and a lot can go wrong so make sure you watch all the youtube videos before attempting.

The glass shield has a self adhesive on it's back. Remove plastic and position on the camera, remembering you can only do this once.

Meh, you can't really. I tried pulling it up and it "bent" the protector. That corner looks a little wonky now. If you really need to remove it though, try using goo-gone and a fine knife.

If the it's only the screen that is cracked, then all you need is the front glass which can be installed using a tutorial guide on YouTube. If the screen won't display some images, then you will have to buy a new LCD as well.

I got a very high quality LCD protector on ebay for around $8 it is the correct size 2.7" Just search for Panasonic DMC-FZ28 and you will get something.

For the cracked screen you have to order a new digitizer. As far as i know the screen and the gorilla glass are glued together. For the scratched camera lens, you just replace the rear housing/faceplate and its good as new.

Mine shattered and luckily the original screen was perfect! We used a razor blade and gently scraped it off. It was easy.

No that is the lcd display its self. If you can still read the display and there is a crack on top you need the digitizer. The display is a separate component directly below the digitizer. When you replace it they come out together and then separate them to replace each piece. Here is a good resource for instructions on how to do the job www.ifixit.com.
