Apple bonds the rear glass to your phone with industrial adhesive, then treats a crack as a reason to swap the entire back housing for hundreds of dollars.
Read the rest
We do not. We use a laser separation machine to ablate only the glue, lift off the shattered panel, and bond a new one, without torching the wireless charging coil, the camera ring, or the antennas living right behind it. iPhone and Samsung, quoted honestly before anything is opened.
Yes, we replace shattered iPhone and Samsung back glass without swapping the whole housing. A laser separation machine burns away only the adhesive in about 10 to 20 minutes, so the wireless charging coil, camera ring, and antennas behind the panel stay cool and intact. We quote honestly, reseal for water resistance, and test wireless charging before you pay.
A shattered back is not just cosmetic.
More detail
The rear glass seals out water and sits directly over your wireless charging coil, rear mic, flash circuitry, and on many phones part of the antenna array. The wrong removal method, a heat gun and a pry tool, the way a lot of shops still do it, bakes the coil and warps the camera surround. Because we are a board-level lab, we treat this as a precision job, not a smash-and-glue.
Heat-gun shop vs WeFixed laser vs Manufacturer
| Approach | Heat-gun shop | WeFixed laser | Manufacturer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Removal method | Heat and pry | Laser ablation | Full housing swap |
| Coil risk | Can cook coil | Heat kept off | Replaced whole |
| Camera ring | Often warps | Stays true | Replaced whole |
| Wireless tested | Rarely | Before you pay | N/A |
| Warranty | Varies | 1 yr OEM | Limited |
Laser targets only the glue, not the coil or camera ring living right behind the glass.
Signs of a board-level fault
- Shattered, spider-webbed, or spider-cracked rear glass after a drop
- Lifting, peeling, or separated back panel that no longer sits flush
- Sharp glass shards or flaking pieces around the camera ring or edges
- Wireless charging that has gotten slow, intermittent, or stopped working
- Cracks radiating from the camera bump or a damaged camera lens cover
- A previous heat-gun repair that left bubbles, gaps, or a misaligned panel

Nothing is done until you say yes. Repairs carry a 1-year warranty on OEM and OLED parts, 1 month on aftermarket parts.
Why a board-level lab is the right place for back glass
Back glass looks like a cosmetic swap until the removal damages something underneath, a scorched wireless coil, a warped camera ring, a torn antenna trace.
More on that
That is the moment you want a lab that lives at the microscope and owns a real laser separation machine, not a counter that reaches for a heat gun. As an independent Arlington shop, we are not steering you into a full-housing replacement you do not need, and we put our work in writing: 1-year warranty on OEM and genuine OLED-grade parts, 30 days on aftermarket. Walk in from anywhere in Arlington and the DMV, or use tracked mail-in from all 50 states. Many back glass jobs are quoted free on the spot; when a diagnostic is needed it is $65 and applies toward your repair.
