Hey guys. A few months ago I forgot that I left my phone in my pocket and went on a gokart and bend the whole thing & cracked it.
Anyway, I took it home and bent the phone back as much as possible and it kind of snapped right back into place but now it is like 1 or 2 degrees out.
I replaced both glasses (back and front) and it works absolutely fine. But you can see that the glass has slightly popped out of its housing because of the bend. It's only in the middle, at both ends it is still in place. It does not effect the functionality of the phone in any way. But it is kind of annoying. It's as if the plastic frame around the glass has bent with the phone but the glass is obviously keeping straight, thats how I noticed the bend.
Does anyone know of any methods to try and get the aluminium back straight? I have stripped off the glass so it won't harm it if I put it in a vice etc.
Any help would be appreciated! I work in the mechanical field so I probably have most tools that you guys will mention
