Hi, i replaced my digitizer on my nexus. I have found that part of the digitizer works and some of it doesn't. Anyways after trying to find where the problem is i've located it to be the connector where the digitizer attaches. Does anyone know where or if i can get a replacement board from?
XDA is no longer worth my time.
Did you ever solve this? I think I'm going through the same thing. I replaced my digitizer last night and this morning I've got a band across the middle that is non-responsive.

I recently broke the screen of my Leo T8585 and replaced the LCD + Digitizer with an original Hong Kong part.
After disconecting the working shattered part the digitizer never worked again. Even the shattered one ceased to work completely (LCD is working fine but digitizer has no response). A second replacement part was ordered and the problem persists, ie, replacement part is not the problem. Also part number is correct.
Can anyone tell me if there is a specific precedure for this replacement? Could there be a hardware/software lock I need to open? Strip contacts have been checked and are fine.
thanks in advance
:O damn, a lot of people getting their HD2s smashed, here i was thinking i was the only one. I recently replaced my digitizer & LCD aswell.
As far as i know there is no soft/hardware locks present. In case you have checked that allll connectors are properly connected i can only guess that an electrostatic discharge might have caused damage to the hardware. . . But in case you were wearing an ESD wrist strap which i recommend using (by no means i don't want to sound like a smartass) i havn't got a faintest idea
Well.. replying to a totally old post but.. what the hell, maybe it will help and/or help others who encounter similar problems.
Hi there.
My Nexus S screen broke up and ill be thinking is that possible to replace?
The screen is fine but the glass went broken.
Where I can get new frontcover/glass or do I have to get whole screen at all
(screen and frontcover)
the exact thing happened to me just minutes ago, infact thats why I came here. I know they can be replaced, I've found a few options with a quick google search, now just seeing how cheap I can get the parts
They can definitely be replaced, the problem's just that many of the replacements don't work (or don't work with a specific batch of phones, I haven't actually gotten to the bottom of the problem yet). A friend of mine broke his screen too, so I ordered a replacement and when it arrived, the LCD worked but there was no touch recognition. I had it replaced, and the replacement assembly had the exact same problem. The seller told me there were 2 versions of the i9023 screen which are incompatible with each other and that he had sent me the right version the second time, but I don't know how much is to that as it didn't work... Here's the thread in which the issue is covered:

Hello guys have a problem with my htc vivid's(have 2 of them)!
To start the story with i got a cracked vivid phone from ebay and thought of replacing the screen, i also got a digitizer from some hong-kong seller, the screen arrived and i looked up some videos on youtube and fixed the screen myself, everything seemed to have gone fine, but when i switched on the phone after replacement the bottom half of the screen would not work! only the top hald of the screen worked, i assumed it was a faulty digitizer and ordered another digitizer!
Meanwhile i got another vivid off ebay, this was also a damaged one ( the seller told the LCD was dimming but digitizer was working) so i thought of replacing its LCD and got it off, this phone also arrived so i had one phone with bad digitizer and other with bad LCD i ordered an LCD also so b4 it arrives i thought i would change the digitizer from the bad LCD phone to the bad digitizer phone so i will have one complete working phone!
When i started to open the bad LCD phone i realised it was a water damaged phone, but the digitizer was fine so i removed its digitizer carefully and put onto the bad digitizer phone and switched it on, but again the same problem! top half woking bottom half not working! so i thought ill change the motherboard of the bad digitizer phone with the bad LCD phone and after doing that the digitizer would not work at all!!
i dunno what to do now i dunno where im going wrong any sort of help or duggestions would be greatly appreciated, and if you guys are having hard time understanding any part of the story let me know will try to explain that part as clearly as possible, thanks in advance! hope i get ou of this problem soon
Are you sure that both motherboards were in working order.? I would suspect the motherboard you installed is faulty...is that motherboard the one which was on the waterdamaged phone? If it were me I would put the motherboard back in that at least had the screen half on and then troubleshoot from there....I've replaced a few screens but not enough to give a good resolution...I would proceed by process of elimination on components you know, for sure, are working before you install them...and its totally plausable that a new replacement part can be faulty...I'm not sure man, just my two cents worth...I would scour xda for others who have had screen issues..one post probably won't fix your particular issue but a few different ones might...ill look too and post link if I find something...

The very right side edge of the screen isnt working on my wifes phone. Is it a hardware issue? or just in need of recalibration? Known issue? Thanks
It's a hardware issue. The digitizer is going bad. There are posts about people "repairing" them with hair driers and ovens. You can also buy a replacement on ebay and attempt to replace it.
Hey! I got the same issue on my A853 Milestone (ghost touch, then some parts of the screen not working anymore). The problem is not necessarily on the digitizer. I suggest you to disassemble the phone and to verify the integrity of the flex cable. Mine was very used and I made the same mistake - I spent money on a new digitizer without checking the other component. So, first check that then buy the right part. Good luck! Best wishes from RO!
Just "scored" a 32 gb HP TP off CL for $100..only thing is he informed me that the touch screen was a little glitchy at times. So, I just decided to take it apart and fix it myself since it was already halfway opened Actually the digitizer wasnt even glued sufficient because while prying the case open, the digitizer came unstuck. So I didnt have to remove anything from the bezel just unclip the connectors and analyze the problem. I haven't gotten the replacement digitizer yet. Just wondering if this replacement or any of the other numerous listings on ebay would be ok before i bought it.
Also, he said he replaced the digitizer before..could the problem not be with the digitizer? When I opened everything up and reattached the connectors, it seemed like it functioned better than before but it was still a dead zone. Holding the TP upright, the row containing the numerical buttons dont function, as well as certain portions to the top of the device.
You need a new digitizer control board, not digitizer glass. And as far as I know they are not sold.

ugh...i wonder what goes wrong with the boards. It seems like its really nothing on them that could mess up unless a solder joint is bad or bent,etc. But the "good" news is it looks like he didnt try to replace the digitizer at all or if he did he put in an OEM replacement but i think thats highly doubtable. The digitizer has the same OEM stickers as the ones on the motherboards and every where else. So im holding out hope that the new replacement may correct the problem but..idk..
Side note:
Ok..im not understanding why the douche chose to try and repair it himself when it's still actually within the year warranty. He got it in DEC 2011...warranty is good til' October 2012 it says. I talked to HP and they said it was under warranty and sent me a box to ship it back. I was going to ship it back, but upon further inspection you can see where the azz pryed open the case. I didn't want to prolong the process of getting it fixed by having them just tell me that i voided the warranty,and sending it back to me...so i opted to do it myself. Any one have any testimonials with sending back opened Touchpads? Do they inspect them "good" before repairing?
If all else fails i guess ill just take the chance and send it back to HP.
update:
Just Received the digitizer from the ebay store posted in my first post. Works like a charm...guessing it was just the digitizer after all. Im now the proud owner of a 32gb HP Touchpad for $124.89 Case Closed!
