# Fix Loose Glass

Some FunKey S consoles coming from the first production batch might
have an issue with the front glass not sticking correctly to the left
side of the casing:

The following tutorial explains how to simply stick back the screen
using standard cyanoacrylate glue. The necessary material is:

- Standard cyanoacrylate glue (US: Gorilla Super Glue, Europe: Loctite
  Superglue)
- A toothpick 
- Tape

### **STEP 1 - Protect the plastic casing with tape** {.step-title}

Stick a piece of tape on the plastic casing to the left side of the
screen. This will avoid any glue spilling on it.

### **STEP 2 - Prepare the glue** {.step-title}

Appy one drop of glue on a flat waterproof surface (such as the back
of some tape for example). One drop is enough.

### **STEP 3 - Apply the glue** {.step-title}

Dip the tip of the toothpick in the glue and apply it inside the
plastic casing alongside the left edge. Multiple dips can be necessary
to cover the whole side.

The toothpick tip will soften with the glue and act as a paintbrush.

!!! warning
    Be careful not to put too much glue in the casing!

### **STEP 4 - Stick the glass** {.step-title}

Use your thumb to apply force on the left side of the glass for at
least 2 minutes (the longer the better, this leaves more time for the
glue to stick).

You can remove the protective tape in the meantime.

### **STEP 5 - All done** {.step-title}

![apply force](/assets/images/fix_unstuck_screen/DSC08656.jpg){.step-thumb}

The glass should now hold tightly to the left side of the casing,
you are ready to play!
