How to replace the LCD screen protector of the Sony Alpha NEX-5N
Hey people? What's up?
Have a Sony NEX camera and the LCD screen protector started peeling?
See in this quick video where to buy a cheap replacement protection, ...
buying tips and how to replace in your own home.
You check it out in a moment.
Here is the deal ...
For those who have a Sony camera, more specifically one of the NEX series, ...
after a some time you will face a problem like this.
The anti-glare treatment that is applied on the external LCD protective layer ...
starts peeling, making the appearance of screen really bad ...
and making the view of the images too difficult while taking pictures.
This is a common problem with these cameras.
Fortunately, in the case of Sony NEX, this is very simple to solve ...
and you can do it yourself without having to send the camera for a repair shop.
There are on the market very cheap replacement acrylic protection screens available on the internet.
These screens can be found on stores like Ebay or DealExtreme.
DealExtreme is a large and reliable Chinese store.
You can buy there without problems. I already bought there before and the experience was very good.
On Ebay, as sellers from all over the world are on the platform, ...
pay attention to the qualifications of the seller and the number ...
of items sold to get an idea of their reputation.
It is very similar to the Mercado Livre that we know here in Brazil.
For those who already know how to buy in Mercado Livre, the basic things to look before are the same.
Unfortunately I did not find anything similar in Brazilian stores, ...
since these cameras were not very popular here.
It is worth remembering that, as usually these products come from China, ...
soon you will have to be patient until the order arrives in your house.
In general, orders take at least 45 days to arrive.
In the case of this screen protector we will install on Sony NEX that I bought on Ebay ...
took 90 days from date of purchase until delivery to my home.
So if you buy there, it can vary between these two extremes from 45 days to 90.
That were the delivery times that took to me when I bought some product from China.
You're going to have to be patient. But the product will be delivered to you.
I even thought that the product would not be delivered or that it was stuck somewhere because of the delay.
Talking later with the seller about it, ...
this with about 88 days after the purchase, he offered me a refund.
I believing it would not come anymore, i accepted.
And he kindly asked to pay him back later if the order appeared at my house.
Two days later the product arrived and I paid the seller again. It was all ok.
Even with this delay it is worth a lot because this repair part is very cheap.
On average this screen will cost to you roughly US$ 2, August-2017 price.
And you can even buy more than one screen replacement to have one as backup.
Well, there are some brands that you will find like GGS, JYC ......
The acrylic screen protector I chose to buy on Ebay is one made by FOTGA.
This offer you are seeing on the screen right now.
And it comes in a box like this.
The box brings an acrylic protector with double-sided tape on the back back for sticking ...
and a small microfiber cloth for cleaning surfaces ...
prior to the application of the new acrylic protector.
The only however of the product that instead of being written "Sony", is written "FOTGA" ...
and in the right corner "NEX-5C".
It would be interesting if it were only written "FOTGA" or nothing written, only the black borders.
But apparently all similar products are like this with slight variations.
Well, replacing the screen protector is relatively simple.
Just need a little patience and care that everything will go well.
One thing is that the touch screen of this camera is working and ...
if we put the new screen over the old one, the touch screen still works.
So the new screen does not interfere in this feature.
And I hope the touch screen feature still be working after the replacement.
Before start, let's clean the place where we will replace the screen protector.
This reduces the chance of any dust falling on the screen to be protected ...
and ends up stuck between the touchscreen and the new protective screen.
For greater safety, avoid unnecessary damage and make it easier to manipulate the camera ...
let's remove the flash, the lens-hood and any other unnecessary ...
accessory that can somehow make the work difficult.
Another thing, but it is up to each one, is to wash the hands before starting the procedure.
So you eliminate the oils from the skin and any other kind of dirt.
With these little things taken care, let's get started.
Let's nudge one of the corners of the screen to lift the plastic coating and begin to remove it.
The best thing I found that is thin enough to enter ...
in the small space on the edge and raise the protection to be replaced ...
but at the same time strong and soft enough ...
to not cause any damage or scratches on plastic parts ...
and also on the touch screen below it, are your finger nails.
Just start by any of the corners and lift a small piece ...
so we can pull everything else by hand. As I had done before in this corner here.
If you decide to use some other rigid object ...
be careful not to damage or scratch anything on your camera.
After lifting a small piece of protection layer, just go pulling the ...
peeled protector carefully and firmly ...
to not damage the touch screen underneath.
While with one hand you pull the old protection, with the other you hold the LCD by the corners.
Avoid touch with the other hand the screen that is being uncovered.
Avoid contaminate this surface.
Once the removal is complete, we are going to clean the residual glue that remained on the screen.
For this we will use the microfiber cloth and only it. And in a very gentle way.
Let's clean the entire touch screen very well ...
to prepare for the installation of the new acrylic protector.
Next we'll take the new screen protector and take out the plastic film from it.
On the side of the tape we will clean everything and ensure that there is no fingerprints, ...
dirt, marks from the protective film or dust.
Let's ensure that the new screen protector is free from any visual interference as possible ...
that can be viewed on the camera LCD display after installed.
With everything clean, now just remove the layer of double-sided tape to expose ...
the glue and apply the new screen protector on the camera.
Being careful not to touch the parts that we have already cleaned.
Also, pay attention to the correct side before applying the screen.
Maybe you buy a model without any of the brand markings below like this one.
The wider black border, in the case of the Sony NEX 5N, is on the left side.
Be careful not to mount upside down and end with the black borders obstructing the view of the LCD.
Place it carefully in place, making sure it is well aligned with the camera's LCD screen.
Try to make it right in the first time, because the glue of the tape is very strong, ...
not allowing corrections after glued on the screen.
With the new screen protector in place, press the edges where the double sided tape is ...
to stick well the new protection screen using the microfiber cloth.
And it is done! The replacement of the Sony NEX 5N LCD screen protector.
Let's turn the camera on and see the difference.
Much better now without those stains disrupting the viewing.
Everything cleaner and sharper.
