POCO M5 Display and Touch Screen Glass Combo Replacement

Q: How much does replacing a broken Poco M5 display in India cost?

The price of a 100% original Poco M5 display replacement is around Rs 3100-3200. If you buy a duplicate display, you can buy it from the local market for Rs 1000-1200 and install it on your phone. The price difference between the original and duplicate displays results in an equivalent quality difference, a well-known fact.

Q: What are the most common problems with non-original screens?

If you have bought duplicate screens before, you know about their problems. However, if you run into this situation for the first time, you probably don’t know about the forthcoming problems. These problems are :

1. Low Brightness Levels: A duplicate display offers 50% brightness on maximum levels compared to the original.
2. Stiffly Working Touch Screen:  The non-original touchscreen is laggy and doesn’t work as intended. You’ll feel face random lags while using the phone.
3. Short Lifespan: A duplicate display breaks easily, mostly on the next drop, while the original display is much more durable.
4. Muffled Colors: You will never get vivid, accurate colors with a duplicate display replacement.

When the display quality is bad, that indirectly affects all the aspects of your phone. For example, you can’t enjoy movies in their original quality, can’t capture sharp images from the camera, and have other similar problems. That’s why non-original products are not a worthwhile investment in the long run. If you have no issues with colors, brightness, and durability, you can buy a duplicate display without a second thought.

Q: How should I test and install the new Poco M5 display?

You can easily test the new display in open condition without assembling it. Trying the new display helps you ascertain its working condition, and then you can confidently install it on your phone. Here are the steps :

1. First, please remove your phone’s back panel to access the motherboard.
2. The motherboard will have a plastic cover, and you need to remove relevant screws to remove that covering.
3. Identify and gently eject the old display’s flex cable on the motherboard.
4. At the same location, connect the new display’s flex cable in the right direction and place the display on bubble wrap.
5. Turn on the phone, and the new display will show graphics as you normally see when you turn on the phone.
6. You can also use the touchscreen to verify all the vital aspects of the display, play YouTube videos, and do everything you normally do with your phone.

You should always test the display for at least 10 minutes and try random things. When you are 100% satisfied with the quality and performance of the display, you can proceed with the final installation. We always complete this testing process internally before shipping the display; hence, we are sure the outcome will be 100% perfect.

Q: Can’t I replace only the glass as the internal display is good?

Replacing only the touchscreen glass is viable when the inner display isn’t cracked. This option is doable, but it is a messy solution, and the completion of glass replacement fully relies on a duplicate touchscreen glass.  After replacing only the glass, the display’s visible quality becomes pale, with flaws inside the screen.

You can’t enjoy the display as before, but white spots, dust, and dead pixels are widespread after glass replacement. The glass replacement is not equivalent to replacing the display unit, but it is a makeshift solution that gets you a refurbished/repaired display. Many people opt for the glass replacement option to save money, and that’s the only good thing about this method.
