A Dry Test means connecting the new part to the device motherboard to verify it works before applying glue, removing protective films, or completing assembly.

If glue has been applied, protective films removed, or flex cables damaged before the dry test is completed, the item may not be covered by the commercial warranty. This does not affect any right you have under South African consumer law.
