The Legends screen is glass, which is _very_ resistant to scratches.
You'd literally have to put it in a bag of keys and shake it, to scratch it....and even then, there's a fair chance that the screen didn't get severely damaged.

Yes, i can confirm this. The screen is extremely rigid, no plastic here. But this is confusing to me as i have seen in reviews when they pushed on the screen there was visible flex to it. I guess there was some kind of demo device that had a diffrent screen then the final model.
im not going to try and scratch my screen but if its the same as on the nexus one, then i can belive that the screen is extremely durable.
I have had the device for 4 days and not a singel mark on it, even fingerprins are difficult to se and it extremely smooth surface, with realy low friction compared to most plastic.
Wow..
Now thats spells C. O. O. L.

I to thought that the Legends screen was glass & would take some scratching but it seems not. My Son has had his legend for 5 day & has barley taken it out of the house, it has been in his jeans pocket, with no keys, money etc in & the screen now has 4 light scratches on it. It also seems that the AMOLED screens brightness really exaggerates these scratches, to the point for me that I would need to get it replaced. Hes really upset that his new baby has a battle scar already & do feel sorry for him
So its if you wanna take the chance then go for it, but I for one will be getting a screen protector for my desire when Vodafone finally get there act together & ship my phone!
Cheers

Then, using your open safe pry tool, you can easily pry apart the back housing of the phone from the front housing, starting at one end and working your way slowly around the phone.
Carefully unclip any clips that are holding any ribbons, etc. in place. These will often appear as flat pieces of metal, but are sometimes an actual ribbon, such as the camera ribbon cable shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2
Then, you can use the open safe pry tool (included free with the replacement LCD screen or the replacement touch screen digitizer) to remove the camera ribbon cable off its socket in the motherboard.
Carefully remove all connectors and remove the screws that hold the motherboard in place, as shown in Figure 3. Then you can remove the motherboard, careful not to damage any ribbons or cables in the process. Use the open safe pry tool where it seems efficient, but use your nippers to disconnect the antenna wire.
Figure 3
Once the motherboard is removed, you will need to remove the headphone jack assembly, which looks like a squiggly cable. Do this carefully, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4
After removing the headphone jack assembly, you will want to remove the Wifi antenna and vibration motor, using the open safe pry tool for careful removal. Then, you can begin to slowly slide the open safe pry tool along the edges to expose the sliding plate. (Shown in Figure 5)
Figure 5
Now you will need to peel off the keyboard, which will reveal a lot of tiny screws to remove. As shown in Figure 6, you can unscrew these and gently remove the display assembly from the slider mechanism and keyboard. Use the open safe pry tool for assistance in prying these apart and move slowly and carefully.
Figure 6
If you are replacing the LCD screen, you will want to use your hot air gun or hair dryer to heat up the glue that holds the glass in place, then you can gently pry it off using your open safe pry tool.
Now you will be able to replace any parts on your Motorola Droid 3. Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.
can you replace the metal bezel from around the edge of the screen without having to heat the glue up and remove the display/glass?

I'm trying to replace the front casing. This implies the removal of both the touch panel and the LCD display for which your instructions are a bit vague:
- you say middle heat: how much is that?
- you say that to remove the LCD i should lift it from the corners: how much pressure should i apply and in what direction? Straight up? How are the adhesive tapes put - longitudinally or transversally?
- apart from the standard strips of adhesive do i need any other special ones on the new case? I'm asking that because for T8282 you do need some for cooling purposes - i learned that the hard way.

Sorry about the vagueness . Middle heat would be 4 secs. so put the heat gun on your fingers and count to 4 if you remove your finger before 4 then its to hot
so then put your heat gun a little more away from your fingers
and then count again.
On each corners. take the heat gun and heat it alittle. use your safe pry tool and slowly release it from they hosing. now about how much pressure. Its hard to just say this hard or that hard. you have to be aware of the lcd and how it is.
Best words to use here would be.. take your time. and dont force it. if you notice it is not coming up dont just pry it up. it will break your lcd.
just use more heat and maybe change the grip you have.
then it should be right as rain.

Using the T5 Screwdriver you will need to remove 10 screws around the edges of the device.
There are 2 screws which hold the battery terminal which we will remove later.
Once the screws all around the device have been removed, you can start removing the Mid Frame Bezel just like the back battery door in the first step.
Start from the bottom of the device and begin releasing the clips all the way around.
Now that the Mid Frame Bezel has been removed, you can remove the 2 screws holding the battery into the device. There will be a little red grommet piece which indicates where the terminal screws for the battery are located.
You can now remove the screws holding the silver frame in place. There are 10 screws around the edges of the device.
Take the frame out and place to the side.
Now you are ready to remove the LCD and touch screen digitizer. You will need to release the LCD and touch screen digitizer flex cables from the motherboard.
Once the ribbons have been released you may now begin removing the motherboard.
Using a safe open pry tool, begin lifting the motherboard which is held in by minor adhesive.
After the Motherboard has been removed you can move the long touch screen digitizer flex ribbon cable upwards away from the LCD.
You can now remove the LCD just like the motherboard.
We are now ready to take the touch screen digitizer off of the frame and replace with a new touch screen digitizer.
You want to press outwards all around the edges to remove the touch screen digitizer.
Applying heat with a heat gun or hot hair dryer will loosen the adhesive for easier removal if needed.
You can now replace the touch screen digitizer and the LCD.

You're Very Welcome!
thanks for the nice guide.
I somewhat successfully replaced my digitizer last night. I had to main problems:
a) somehow I created a bunch of streaks on the back of the digitizer trying to clean off a few dust particles. I made things much worse after getting too close to the felt-like border around the digitizer. Damaged the border and had big problems cleaning off the adhesive that got on the screen. I ended up doing an ok job cleaning it up, but have some backlight bleed through where the border was damaged. I'd recommend to be VERY careful in trying to clean off anything on the inside of the glass.
b) I also have a defect on the LCD toward the top of the screen.
the strange thing is that the white spots are (mostly) only visible on a black backround. They are only slightly noticable on full color fields.
the other strange thing is that it appears the white spots are not full pixels - as you can see in the close up.
if this was damage to the LCD, I'd expect that the entire pixel would not work (unless I'm not correctly identifying what a pixel actually is). I'll prob try to disassemble again tonight and at least make sure the flex cable is fully seated. I'm thinking about ordering a replacement LCD display, but a little hesitant unless I can figure out what caused/is causing the problem.
I wonder if anyone has seen something like this before - and if this is likely damage to the LCD or an assembly related issue. any feedback would be appreciated!

This is where you applied too much pressure to the LCD screen. Sometimes it works out, others, it is that way for good. I usually see this when the screen has been flexed or hit. If a bright background kills it for you, then go bright. Otherwise you may want to consider replacing the LCD. But considering the amount of money you already invested in the digizer, you might want to save for something else...up to you.
Is there any other type of glue that I can used?

thanks for the reply. guess that happened when trying to detach the LCD from the PCB. bummer.
I think I'm going to end up replacing the screen...I'm not seeing many new phones that have both SD card support and HDMI (or at least MHL) out. Hopefully this thing will have a long life as ROM support grows.
We highly suggest using 3M adhesive as advertised on our site. I'm sure there are other adhesive agents you can use. But in the event you would have to re-open the device, you could run into issues.

Hi,
I replaced the digitizer but after assembling the whole phone observed that the screen has white glow on the edges. maybe the digitizer was not glued properly to the outer casing. I used 3m tape and applied it evenly though.
However, after using the phone i came to know that it is not reacting to the touch gestures at the top end part. I suppose it is a faulty digitizer. Right ??
I have ordered the replacement and will be doing it again. Any tips to avoid the white edge problem will be appreciated. :good:

Yep , sounds like a bad Touch Screen.
Now with the white edges . Check to make sure the LCD is adhesive to the touch screen good. Sounds to me like the LCD is showing though the Touch.
Thanks. This worked out for me.

Using your T4 Torx Screwdriver remove the T4 screws (11) that are circled in RED in the figure below.
There is also a metal spacer (highlighted in GREEN below), that should be set to the side for re-assembly later.
*Figure 3.1* Carefully release the clips and remove the upper housing using the pry tool. The housing holds the audio jack and loud speaker assembly.
*Figure 3.2* It is important to be careful with the right side of the housing, which should be handled with care because it's held on with clips in the housing and can be delicate.
*Figures 3.3 - 3.4* Using the pry tool remove the lower housing, at the same time be careful not to damage the clips holding it in place.
See figure below for reference.
*Figure 4.1* Release the battery connection using the pry tool.
*Figure 4.2* Release the volume button flex cable by releasing the jaw connection.
*Figure 4.3* Release the pop connector for the upper sensor and ear speaker assembly.
*Figure 4.4* Then flip over the motherboard exposing the jaw-bone connection. Now you can release the connection and remove the motherboard and battery.
*Figure 5.1* With the pry tool carefully remove the upper sensor assembly. Be mindful that underneath this sensor is the ear speaker which is attached to the housing.
*Figure 5.2* Take off the metal clip which covers the volume button flex cable.
*Figure 5.3* Now you can easily remove the volume and power buttons. Next, using your pry tool (or plastic tweezers) peel off the volume buttons, be careful not to rip or tear the ribbon cable.
*Figure 5.4* Set the buttons and volume flex ribbon cable to the side for re-assembly later.
See figure below for reference.
Both sides of the screen assembly contain small pins (7) which hold the screen assembly to the housing.
*Figures 6.1 - 6.2* Remove the pins (7) by pushing them out from the inside of the housing. This is most effectively done using the Sim card removal tool (provided by Motorola).
*Figure 6.3* Now that the pins have been removed use your pry tool to release the grey housing from the screen assembly. Be careful not to break the clips which hold the housing in place.
*Figure 6.4* You can completely remove the housing now that it has been released from the screen assembly.
See figure below for reference.
Finally, re-assemble the Moto X by reversing the above steps and install a new LCD + Touch Screen assembly.
