QWERTY Keyboard Not Replaceable *FIXED 4/18*

I followed Tony Chen's guide and it worked nicely to replace everything BUT the QWERTY keyboard. I've read around and people say to follow that to replace the QWERTY keyboard - however if you actually try and do that, theres no actual way to get the keyboard in/out. It seems as if the keyboard is physically bonded with a backplate and the flex-pcb glued underneath.
Has anybody successfully replaced the keyboard? Because it doesn't seem like it since theres no documentation available (both forum or guide) so I'm leading to think this is NOT user replaceable. I called Cellular-Dr and they said they can (I forgot the exact price, I believe it was $50) but I'm stumped on how they actually do that.

Fixed!
Well, after examining the keyboard - I decided to give up hope and gave it to DrCellPhone.com and here are the results (sorry for the poor quality pics, tia)

It is in essence a new phone
The keyboard seems to be specially glued down somehow to a flex-like PCB board. I didn't want to take my chances and try to remove the bonding, I kept poking around but eventually just gave up in fear of ruining another special-order item.

how did you get rid of the att logo, im still figuring how to take mines off.

After Market case Yo. Notice the buttons on the bottom are not Tilt buttons.

Thanks for your help when this problem first happened Chumley, luckily I found what I needed and had it replaced at a reasonable cost

Broken Tilt screen??

I have attached a photo of my AT&T Tilt. I recently dropped it and I want to know if I just need to replace the screen or if there is another issue. The phone works perfectly but the screen has weird colors and distortion. Also, this is the screen I was looking at purchasing to replace the damaged screen: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-LCD-Touch-S...c0.m14&_trkparms=65:16|66:2|39:1|293:2|294:50 .

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it might have to do with the ribbon cable that goes to the screen.

I just had a similar problem. Dropped my work laptop right on my screen, corner first mind you haha...
I bought this http://cgi.ebay.com/US-LCD-Screen-D...trkparms=65:12|66:1|39:1|72:1234|293:2|294:25
and got it fixed no problem. Took about 2 hours of tearing it apart and reassembling to do.
The screen includes the cable so if that is the issue then you are still fine. The screen comes with the dissembler tool, and the security screwdrivers you will need.
See the Kaiser Wiki for full disassemble instructions that worked quite well for me.

bobtheamazing - can you let me know how is the quality of the new screen?
uzim289 if you bought yours - can you let me know how the quality of the screen is ?
and any personal advice if i decide to take mine apart. Thank you.
I took mine to Vegas, kept it in my pocket, it was sure hot and my screen cracked... need to replace but wasn't sure if i should spend $80 on a certain website of just go the route of ebay.

Before you buy another screen I would recommend taking the phone apart first and just checking to see if the connector is loose. How far of a drop was it and what kind of surface did it hit?

This site
http://www.fonlogix.us/att-tilt-lcd-screen.html
I got my replacement screen from here and it was the best decision. trust me. I replaced my screen about 4 months ago, and my Tilt is just fine.

I bought a replacement for my Kaiser at Marktplaats.nl but that's for the netherlands. Replaced the lcd according the video from Fonlogix. I uploaded the video allso a while ago to youtube which made it verry easy to replace and now it works like a charm again. You might whant to check THIS SITE for a replacement.
Good luck.
:Edit:
I just noticed Fonlogix is cheaper

I replaced my sons Tilt LCD been like 8 months now works perfect no issues!
Not that hard to replace the screen just have to keep a sharp eye out for the teeny tiny screws!

Anybody know where to get the 'teeny tiny' screws? As I was removing the job wheel assembly, the small silver-colored screw was stripped out. Funny, it was the correct screwdriver size and everything, and other screws came out fine.

Repair accident

I hope my grave mistake will be a lesson for those who decide to open the phone.
Long story short - ALWAYS, ALWAYS check the SD card slot before disassembling the phone. I forgot to do that and left the card in (I intended to replace the housing), and as a result, I have the slot cracked open. Now all my attempts to find a repair shop which can put it back together failed and the phone worths zero.
Now I am wondering whether anybody here can help me fix it. The problem is I cannot find any schematics of the SD card slot to put the spring and the other part back (I actually do not have any instruments except small screwdrivers and tweezers). If there is such a great guy who can do that, I will gladly pay him or her (I can mail the motherboard and parts together with a check that will cover mailing it back to me).
Here are the pictures of what happened and what was inside the slot:

Man, I feel for that damage =\
If I didn't lived in such a far place as Brazil, I would try to fix your phone.
My Wizard is disassembled, and right now, all I could see is that the spring goes on right side, as staring the motherboard on the first pic.
I'll take some macro shots here and try to help you.
Good luck and cheers

Thank you for your kind words, man! Yes, any hint will help - I have no idea how that little cog is attached (and if it's not bent).

deleted as doubled

Sorry for asking for help again!
Does anyone know where to get the schematics of push-pull SD card slot? I wanna try fixin it myself, its just that cog that bothers me.
Another possibility would be to buy a drive for lets say, netbooks, and either solder it to the MB, or carefully disassemble to see what's inside. The question is - where to buy such part?
Thanks in advance to everybody!

same, hope it was a freak accident and not a simple drop

Rule #1. Don't ever give your phone to a pissed off person... exhibit A attached.
Instead of replacing it with a new Captivate I went with the HTC Aria.. maybe not the best choice, but I think it will do the trick. I like the size, and GPS actually works out of the box. I plan on frequenting the XDA Aria section.
I'll prob try to sell my busted up Captivate on eBay, for anyone that might have bricked their own phone. Other than the screen the phone seems to work without issue.

Damn that's quite a busted screen :-/

Looks like a gorilla got a hold of that gorilla glass.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

That left a mark
hope you had insurance.......

poor , poor cappy...

What's the problem? That'll buff right out!

Wow that pic made me almost cry!

It's like watching a snuff film D:
Edit for helpful-ish answer: Hope you were paying for the insurance =/ I don't know where you'd go about getting replacement glass, and standard manufacturer's warranty won't cover physical abuse like that

Having trouble with change of display module

Hi everyone! I broken the screen of my P9 Plus, and there isn't official support for that phone in my country, so I had to buy a new screen+touch module and install it by myself. The installation was ok, but now the screen precision is terrible. Also I lost the 3d touch function and the possibility of screen capture with double knock.
So that repairship was very sad
Is possible that the screen module was SO fake? or did i omit any procedure? I don't know, may be like as a hard reset, or a recalibration... I didn't found nothing about that on the internet. Anyone with same experience?
Thank you!

what did u pay for screen and touch?

USD 275
Im from Argentina

Nobody?
I want to tell you that I returned the failed screen module. I will N E V E R buy here in Argentina again.
I bought a new screen module on eBay, from China, and now the screen precision is ok. The screen works mostly well, BUT... Im still without knuckle gestures and Force Touch functions...
So, I still with this issue... partly.
Besides, I get a little flashing or blinking (or flickering, sorry for my bad english, how should I call this? the screen turns off for 1 second and then returns to normal) every so often... I mean, every 2 or 3 minutes approximately. Maybe more.
Is there anything I can do? Any similar experience?
Help please, I read a lot on the internet and I did not find comments regarding experiences in screen changes on P9 Plus.
Any comment please
Thanks in advance!

let professionells do the work. I have replaced my screen two times with no problem. (Price: $200)

The problem is that there are no professionals working with this model here. That is why I have changed screen by miself. I hadnt another choice...

aha, understand.

Here again, I would like to ask a question...
I was watching carefully the screen that I have ordered, and I noted that it has a little window in lower left side... But there is nothing inside...
Like this: (look at lower left side of the screen, a little "orange window")
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
BUT... in my original screen that little window contains a connector or a flex, covered with a black sticker... like this
And this is the little flex or connector that i can see below:
Please... I need to know if I'm right when I say this could be related with Force Touch and knock-knock special functions...
Do you have any information on this? (or where could I get it?)
Thanks in advance!
