Introduction
If the screen on your OnePlus 6 is cracked, shattered, or otherwise damaged, this guide will demonstrate how to replace it and get your phone back to its former glory.
If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.
