Truth be told – an iPhone and dry ice don’t seem to fit in the same box.
Yes, but it is possible.
So, do you have an iPhone with a shattered (but intact) screen? Well, you can use the dry ice method to separate the broken glass from the LCD panel and install new glass at a reliable iPhone screen repair in Adelaide. As bizarre as it may sound at first, it works only if you do it properly. For that, we heavily recommend you consult with a professional before attempting this.

How Can You Repair The Screen With Dry Ice?
This super bizarre method will work ONLY when you need to replace the glass on your touch screen. It won’t work if you’ve accidentally smashed the back glass. Keep in mind that if the LCD behind the touch screen glass is also damaged, then you have no option but to replace the touch screen completely. Remember not to apply too much force when removing the glass shards from the LCD—it is a very thin layer and can “break” easily!
The glass glues onto the LCD, which is why you notice a jelly-like substance oozing out when your screen is smashed. When replacing the glass, the glue needs to be melted to allow for the glass to be removed from the LCD. At iPhone repair in Adelaide, the technicians typically utilise a heat gun for this step. But you can also reverse the process to achieve the desired results.
Enter – Dry Ice!
If you apply extremely low temperatures, such as dry ice or liquid nitrogen, you can freeze the glue and separate the glass from the LCD.
How Dry Ice Works?
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It is basically pressurised carbon dioxide that has a surface temperature of -78.5 degrees Celsius. This temperature is cold enough to freeze the glue in your iPhone, thus separating the broken glass screen from the LCD. Dry ice, when kept at room temperature, warms up and sublimates. This means it changes from a solid state to a gaseous state. This provides an edge here, as it minimises the risk of wetting the device being repaired at an iPhone repair in Adelaide.
Safety Notes To Follow
Although dry ice is relatively safe to handle, it can cause frostbite (trust us, it is painful) if it comes into contact with skin. Since it is carbon dioxide, nonetheless, it must be handled with extreme caution and used in a well-ventilated area. Thus, it is recommended to wear proper gloves throughout this procedure to prevent frostbite burnings or injuries from glass pieces piercing through your skin.
Although this might look like a lot of fun, it is dangerous! Hence, we strongly advise you to contact a professional for iPhone screen repair in Adelaide.
