Introduction
Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken screen on your Samsung Galaxy A10.
Note: This guide instructs you to replace only the screen while leaving the original frame and motherboard in place. However, some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires a very different procedure. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide.
Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%. The battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured, but the chances of that happening are much lower if discharged.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

screen replacement for samsung galaxy a10s…or a10 screen is the same size as a10s
Useful service guide for display replacement, best website for repairs !
Habe nur das Frontglas mit Werkzeug gekauft. Kann ich nur dieses von vorn ersetzen, ohne das Gerät komplett zerlegen zu müssen? Sprich defektes Glas erhitzen und nach vorn abheben etc
