Broken Screen :/

I recently broke the gorila glass on my O2x, is there anyone who knows where to pick one up for a cheap price, or knows how replace it? Cheers

I saw a video on YouTube how it was done, if you're handy you can do it yourself. Over here a shop had it for around 50€

You have glasses on Ebay, for about 55$.

.... and lcd screens as well. Price is a bargain compared to local finds. Bought one and it runs perfectly!
Just sharing my experiance
Just be Very careful at 1:14. There's a lot of flexible cables around the edges under that cover (and I broke one of them :/ luckily it was for the second camera)

Thanks for the input guys, I might search around for a bargain.

Got mine repaired for 59 € after I sat on a screwdriver with the 2X residing in my backpocket...
that´s from a german ebay-store but you shouldn´t have to pay much more for a replacement "front piece" including LCD, Touch and front cover.

sorry to bring up a dead thread, but would this be fine in i just replace the front piece with the screen?

Yep, assuming that's all that's damaged. If you killed the IPS panel underneath the digitizer, you'll need that too.

That's the lcd screen underneath right? I'm presuming its not damaged due to the screen still producing the correct colour, so that's great.
Well any thank you, its appreciated

Digitizer = the glass touch sensitive bit.
So if you busted that, there will be a big-ass crack in the glass, generally.

I just edited my last post before I realised you replied. & yes unresponsive cracks through the middle.
Cheers anyway.

That is quite a price drop. though I'm not much of a fan of buying outside of eBay...
& I also need the front piece. Plus I wont a white one. And it looks cool.

i957 Glass (Digitizer) replacement

Hey everyone,
New here and hoped to get some help right off the bat.
A company i957 (Tab 8.9) was dropped prior to a case being applied and broke the glass on the screen. The LCD is fine but the glass needs replacing. I have already purchased the glass and have the Tab apart. My question is in regards to the fusing process. Is the screen just glued to the LCD surround? Whats the best way to remove it? Simply pry? My biggest worry is it cracks more when a small amount of prying occurs. At this point I don't are about the glass as its toast anyway, just worried about the LCD.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

I'm not sure if anyone has even done a teardown

I have a similar issue with LCD working but glass cracked. According to this site, it's completely fused together.
http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-89/6327263?seq=25
I'm still looking for a pre-fused assembly for my SGH-I957. If you have ever tinkered with replacing the touch for an crapple thingy (iphone/ipod touch), it's completely the same issue. The digitizer and lcd are one with some type of adhesive. However for the crapple thingy, u were able to get the complete assembly, just the glass or just the lcd. If you used glass and lcd non fused, the touch would work but was not very responsive quite a bit. I tried several clear adhesives (very messy) but could not locate the correct one. a few possible ones worked but had a yellowish hue after a while or bubbles in it.
I'm at the point to where ima sell my cracked SGH-I957 and use what little change i get from it towards a replacement one. I hope this was of some help to you.

Forgot to add...
If you wanted to try and separate the adhesive from them, you can try this: (I am not responsible for any damage caused by this. Procees at own risk ans this will likely damage the LCD)
Take a clothes iron and set it to the lowest temp possible. Place the iron over the glass+lcd fused assembly for 5-10min (what this will do is simulate the heat as if you left the tablet in the car in the heat) it will make the adhesive loose or tacky to where you can attempt to pry the lcd away. Be careful as the lcd is very fragile and will crack very easily.
I DON'T RECOMMEND doing this unless you just want to try it. I did with crapple stuff and only cause 2 dead pixels on the screen. Then went and played with several adhesives. Went through several touch and lcd but I had a set dollar amount I was wiling to blow on that experiment. End result was pony up and buy prefused assembly. Once did that, returned crapple back to lil sis who then sold her crapple device. YA! for her.

Check my post on Replacing the GT-P7310 Digitizer.

So it responds as if the adhesive was fused/stuck in between the lcd and digitizer? Is there any lag or lack of response with the multi-touch? If it works great, I'll order me a digitizer off ebay or amazon and give a stab at it.
Thanks for the info in your post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894620

Works and feels just like the original. Only without a set of ruddy great scratches from my keys.
Basically the digitizer is held on with strong double sided tape. Its that simple. There are videos on YouTube for the original Galaxy Tab, and the same principle applies.

Thanks! Good to know it wont be like the crapple thing I mentioned above. Just ordered me a digitizer off ebay.

You're welcome. Set yourself an hour to do the changeout, and find somewhere clean & well lit. Good luck!

Well, i ended up getting the touch/digitizer only. Search "Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 P7300 P7310 P7320 Touch Screen Glass Digitizer" and pick your seller. I will note that since I had the at&t version marked by the logo on top right corner., The replacement was OEM so no at&t logo which was fine and it fitted perfectly. You may also find some on amazon and other various part sites.
If you are looking for the LCD screen, search LCD Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 on ebay and sort highest 1st to quickly locate the actual LCD screens. Hope this helps

Nexus 4 Replacement Parts

I know there aren't any out yet, unless I've missed some, but as the husband of a woman who just had her screen shatter when the phone was dropped it sure would be handy to have on thread where people could post links to parts when they become available.
I think this would make a great sticky so people can start fixing their phones ASAP once parts are out.

Well there is a section for accessories but I don't know of that would help. I am sure though when replacement or after market back plates are available we will hear about it here..

Damn, for almsot the price of a new 8GB.. Might as well buy a new one and leave the busted one for parts...

Remeber that the backplate houses the nfc chip along with some of the antennas (not 100% sure on the antennas) so it would be a costly replacement compared to a standard back cover

If it is anything like the HTC One X and similar phones you usually heat the old LCD glass/display and it unsticks from the main chassis, you then stick the replacement screen back on.
Unless you know what you are doing when replacing the LCD and in some cases have specialist tools and lots of patience, you are probably better off buying a new phone (when you can get them!) and selling the broken one for spares on Ebay.
Back covers may appear. The HTC One X had replacement back covers available quite soon after launch and these contain the antennas, which are little more than sticky bits of foil, and the NFC antenna, for around £28.00 in the UK. The charging antenna is little different to the NFC antenna and they are both together as one part on the Nexus, so that shouldn't make too much difference, but of course there is the glass as well. But hopefully not too expensive given the likelihood of breakages.

Phil

Waiting and hoping for replacement backs or a method to replace the glass specifically. My rear glass cracked on the first drop and unfortunately has a crack on the camera lens.
You are definitely correct about the NFC antenna, looking at the iFixit teardown it's just basically some foil glued to plastic. This should not be a major deal breaker in terms of replacement costs.

The backs should go for about $30-$40 once prices stabilize, I've taken mine apart and it looks fairly cheap to replace. The Digitizer and Glass (along with the bezel) usually are best when purchased as a solid piece (usually titled "Display with frame") and costs $200+ now and will likely stay $150+ in a couple of years. If you crack your display, mail it LGE as they will fix it up for about $150ish I believe, which is the same price you would pay if you had insurance through Sprint for a cracked digitizer ($150 is the standard deductible for a ~$8 a month insurance plan for the SGS3).

has anyone replaced the screen yet? my phone has slid off surfaces loads and never smashed. however a small bit of sand in my pocket and the damn thing gets scratched. i've had touch screen phones for years and never used a screen protector and never had a single scratch, this is my first "gorilla glass" phone and it gets scratched. looking for how difficult it was to replace?

I wonder when replacement ear piece speakers will become available. Phone is working great except for the crackling ear piece. Hopefully it will be a cheap part and easy fix.

Broken glass! How to replace it?

I cracked the glass on my Moto X 2014... I don't want to replace the whole screen, it's expensive. Can I buy a fitting glass and replace just that? If so, where do I buy it, and are there any instructions (either written or video)?
Thanks a lot.

As far as I know, it is not possible to buy the glass on its own. The entire front panel - glass, digitizer and screen - all come as one unit. Even if you could buy it separately, I think you'd have a difficult time replacing it on an existing panel.

There are other videos but it's possible but not easy.

If you have cracked glass and touch working, I would recommend you to install a tempered glass screen protector for now (temporarily).
Save money and get a full display assembly (glass+digitizer+frame)
Because fixing the glass alone is the toughest job to do in a mobile!
Spares are around 100$ in ebay. :|

Thanks guys! I think I will proceed with the tampered glass protector then. Spares are really very expensive at the moment, jeez...

Hey Nijom
could you (or somebody else) link me where I could buy a tampered glass screen protector or other good quality screen protector for the Moto X? Unfortunately I cannot find any here in Italy, in physical shops, and in order to buy online, I'd like to get a good one.
Thank you

I got one from Alibabaexpress: (note, the link is in turkish)
http://tr.aliexpress.com/item/For-M...ouch-Screen/32374054319.html?isOrigTitle=true
I can verify that this is an OEM screen. I replaced it myself which wasn't too difficult except for the fact that the included T4 screwdriver broke after unscrewing six screws. Also I wish I had bought those pointed tweezers that are in all of the repair videos. I just had normal nail tweezers which made the repair more difficult but I still did it.

Screen+digitilizer replacement.

Hello all.
So, the screen from my nexus 7 is broken, I had it in my back pocket with the minijack attached.
I got a tilapia version.
Is it worth it to replace the screen and the digitillizer?
If yes, do you recommend an online shop? I live in Germany.
I am not really familiar with eBay, I will use it only if it is really trustworthy vendor.
Thank you all in advance

I've tried - no Gorilla Glass in front so will brake in no time as mine did.
Not worth as an investment in my humble opinion.
Try searching ebay for the unit with the working screen.

ok i need some help here, i dropped my n7 and it seems the glass is cracked and thus digitizer fails completely (damn you single glass system).
Now i dont understand is what do i need, does it have to be touch screen + digitizer or is there simply top glass assembly cum digitizer online. i will be ordering from india so i dont think i will be able to get it replaced. so its just one time buy.
screen combo is massively expensive at 40$ something which is basically the cost of my tablet itself. however touch screen assembly seems to be just 10$ affair with free shipping. which one will be for me?? please help

If it's only glass cracked, then you can do it - just need some patience and skills to disassembly digitizer glass and LCD, you can look at THIS
I doubt you'll do it if you've never done something like this before, but you have nothing to loose.
the new lcd+digitizer you can get for about 20$ with free postage, if you search in right place - just checked it and found one for 19 in 1 min
