Battery was swollen after almost 4 years of usage so I ordered a new battery and watched a couple of videos on how to replace the battery myself.

Thought to myself "how hard can it be" and start opening my phone. Accidentally pried open the lcd screen at the corner.

Panic a little.

Wondering why is it so hard to pry open and realized I haven't unscrew the bottom 2 screws.

Panicked a little more.

Replaced the battery according to the video and snapped it back together.

Tried to turn in on but the screen remains black, but I felt the slight vibration when the phone usually turns on.

Realized I didn't back up anything and I have a few important messages to reply.

Panicked a lot.

Looks like I have to bring my phone to the experts tomorrow.

You broke the screen, and probably not the phone itself.

You can swap those. Sounds like an iPhone so it should be easy to buy.

I hope it's just a screen issue. The phone still responds when I try to turn it on.

There's just nothing displaying on the screen.

Every iPhone since the 4 is like this as well.

Anyway, breaking the screen doesn't mean you lose all your data, so good luck.

The screen is intact tho. Probably just a wire got disconnected when I accidentally pried the screen.

This. Most modern phones don't give you easy access to the battery like they used to back in the day.

Yeah, but now I'm feeling a little disconnected and it's honestly a little scary.

Not the best word to describe how I'm feeling but I'm feeling rather restless now.

Shows how much we have become depended on smartphones.

you mean like wanting to grab your phone every few minutes to check if there's anything new?

It's something I'm trying not to do as much, but I agree, phones are basically part of our lives now.

No no, no no. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure there's good phones out there that still allow you to do it. I just think that, given your confused and hostile attitude about something that's been common for years for the top phones of most if not all top manufacturers, you're not knowledgeable at all about phones, and probably use a piece of crap you think is "great".

But no, please, prove me wrong. Tell us about your current phone.

I'm not American and phone repair shops are pretty common here.

Only problem is finding a reputable one who won't overcharge you.

How much is it gonna cost you to fix it? May want to look into somehow installing something like TeamViewer or using a C to HDMI to get in there and back everything up and then put the money into a new phone.

Which phone is this? Most have made it pretty hard to get to the battery nowadays.

Truth be told I am genuinely curious what phone he has too. My phones battery doesn't hold a charge much anymore and is old so I'll probably be in the market for a new one myself. If they still make good phones with easily replaceable batteries I'd probably actually look into it for my next phone.

I'll see how much the shop will quote me tomorrow. I'm not a gadget freak so I don't really change my electronic devices very often as long as it's still serviceable.

You can't shift back and forth between triggered and lol im just trollin u so fast.

Just tell us what you phone is gramps. Maybe you can learn something from this embarrassing experience. I mean, I already taught you not to talk shit to people like TC who was just asking for help, specially if you don't know shit about the topic, but maybe you can also learn about phones. Newer phones don't even have physical buttons for numbers anymore. Crazy, I know.

And I'm not forcing you to, I'm just telling you the path of least resistance so you stop feeling the raging need to F5 this topic. "You don't care" yet here you are. Spoilers: This is the part you say "I'm just here because I'm laughing lol", which is yet another backpedal into "I was just trolling lol!"

Also, you don't have to aknowledge it. Heck, you don't even have to be aware of it, but next time you click on a topic and feel the need to shitpost against some dude trying to get help to fix a problem, you'll consiously or subconsiously remember this little exchange and you'll think twice. You'll either simply move on and not post, take a bit of time to educate yourself or do as a puty child would and double down, and will shitpost again, which means you were beyond my help to begin with. I hope you don't remember consciously because that's the least likely way you'll react like the third option.

How does YourPhone thing work in W10? Do you just plug it and can see your phone in your PC? Or more likely you need to interact with your phone's screen too, before having access?
I haven't tried it yet. Plug it to your PC and find out.
