Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken screen on your OnePlus 8T.
If the frame is deformed, it's important to replace it to make sure the new screen will mount correctly and won’t suffer damage from uneven pressure.
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.
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.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).
The best way to secure the new screen is to apply a sheet of custom-cut double-sided tape to the back of the screen.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Hi Jim, we're happy to hear that we were able to help you with your repair!
I broke my phone one plus 8T just now, how should i proceed next ? I want it really to be fixed but not sure if its still in a condition that i can be repaired
Do you remove the front earpiece speaker grill as well when you remove the front screen? As I am putting the screen back on, not sure if the top of the screen needs to be under the grill, but for some reason, it isn't matching or it's bulging from that area.
WARNING!
You have to remove the sim card tray before removing the daughterboard. At nno point in this guide is this mentioned. You risk damaging the daughterboard when trying to pry it loose.
