Phone bracket for repair

[Colin Barrett]

Hi. Absolute beginner here so please forgive me if my question is basic.
I'm looking for one of those brackets that hold the screen in place while your repairing.
I saw one being used but I don't actually know what it's called.
I've searched Google but it's difficult because as I said I don't know what it's called.
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Are you running a computer/phone repair business or you just trying to fix your own?

 

[Colin Barrett]

Oh it's for myself. I wouldn't have the time to get into phone repairs on a large scale.

If I read the intro correctly, Colin is self employed PC repair tech. No experience repairing phones. Not unlike myself, except my one experience trying to repair a phone consisted of me thrashing it against the wall and that didn't fix it so I stopped.

... and these days if I was repairing a phone I'd need one of those brackets that holds my hand in place and a mighty big magnifying glass.

That would be coming from China, I presume. It could take a while.

I can't find any in the UK or Ireland.

Damn. I thought you might have found a provider a little closer to home. Thanks for taking the time to look it up.

You have probably got one by now but ebay UK has them. Search for "Universal Adjustable LCD Screen Clamp-Holder"
