hi guys
a friend of mine has a problem with his Odyssey G7 27-inch curved monitor.
The panel is starting to come off which is a common problem with this screen and with any curved panel.
Now this isn't the first time his screen done this, it happened before and we sent it to samsung to be fixed but now he's out of warranty so samsung told him no dice this time.
The problem is that his pc is in a very hot room which facing the sun all day and he doesn't have AC so it's like an oven in there and no he can't move it anywhere else, this massive heat is what i think caused the screen to come off second time. Please note that i have the same screen which had the same issue and since samsung fixed it, it has not come off again. I live in the same city near him but my room isn't that hot and i have AC.
i couldn't find any specialist that can help us fix it so we decided to do it our self and we were debating about the type of adhesive to use, we don't have many options here -we live in Cairo, Egypt- i have searched a lot and found only two types of adhesives to use:
1- B-7000
2- Victor Reinz 70-31414-10
i think that the Victor Reinz is good for the job since it's heat resistant -50°C to +250°C but my friend thinks that the B-7000 is the one to use since he saw someone on youtube using it for the same purpose.
From my knowledge I know that the B-7000 is not very good, under a lot of heat it melts and the main problem here is heat.
So which one is better ?
Will the Victor Reinz damage the monitor in anyway ?
Could you suggest another option and i will look for it ?
Thanks in advance.
Update
so i did glue the screen yesterday with Victor Reinz 70-31414-10 ,i did a lot of research before using it and it turns out it doesn't contain any harmful substance like glacial acetic acid [vinegar] and i did try it out on a 2 pieces of plastic just to see how long it takes to fully cure ,the answer is a lot it took 4 days to fully cure, there is no smell and there was some residue which i removed easily with my hand ,my guess it will take less time for the monitor since the gap is less than 0.5mm maybe 3 days max ,i have used binder clips for pressure and now hoping for the best
will try to update next time with pics
