POCO M5 Display and Touch Screen Glass Combo Replacement

Q: How much does buying a new Poco M5 display cost in India?

A 100% original Poco M5 display replacement costs around Rs 2700-2800. A duplicate display is easily available for Rs 800-100, but its quality is terrible, and that’s 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. 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.

A duplicate display negatively affects everything, including camera quality, multimedia experience, and battery backup time. That’s why non-original products are not a worthwhile investment in the long run.

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

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. Please disassemble the phone by following this teardown video.
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 its quality and performance, you can proceed with the final installation.

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

When the inner LCD isn’t cracked, replacing only the touchscreen glass is viable. 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 overall quality becomes pale, with flaws inside the screen, and it feels like a refurbished product.
