the camera-module would be an easy replacement, you just need to remove the black part of the case under the battery secured by three screws and carefully pry it off. what i've heard though (over a year ago, when i was about to repair mine) is that the camera-module is somehow coupled to the specific phone it is in by a s/n or something, i don't know. didn't have a chance to test it out myself though.
just checked prices. i'd say you can give it a try, since the module is only 10 bucks on ebay. this one even comes with the needed screwdrivers:

this should get you set:

just a quick tip: if you remove the little metal-bracket/frame holding the cam in place, take notes of the orientation of bracket and cam so you can correctly reasseble it right away.
have fun!

Yeah I'm Gina have to try that later. I'm not to worried about it just wondering if it can be done as my n1 is not my main phone anymore

I also cracked my screen when my phone came out of my pocket. I can't even use it not because it wont let me unlock the swipe.
how did you determine that you need the LCD also and not just the outer layer which i assume is the digitizer? When you change yours, will you take a vid for tutorial? Im afraid to touch mine unless there is a tutorial.
Thanks

I wouldn't recommend to do that alone if you aren't absolutely sure what you are doing.
It's very tricky to assemble device again and even if you managed to disassemble and assemble it again you could leave fingertips on it or dust and it'll look terrible...
I won't even mention waterproof - no way to do all assembling right without proper tools.
Leave that to experts.
My wife's Xperia U felt down and front screen (digit) broke.
We paid only 200 kn (around 30€) and it was perfect.
Give 20-30€ or $ more, it's expensive device and 20$ could turn into 1000$ damage.

the reason is most smartphones now lcd and digitizer come super glued together, you gonna need to replace both, also i think they only sell the all together.
i still have my acro s so when the price goes down on the set i'll make a video tutorial and post it here for you.
besides the glue and seals the xperia z1 is quite easy to take a part.
oh one more thing, i fix phones and computers for a living

screen not responding after dropped

Hi just dropped my xperia z from about 5 foot height onto pavement and the screen is not broken but it isnt responding to any touch.
Is there any chance it can be fixed without fitting a new screen?

just asked the guy who fixes my phones he said bring it in and ill see, said it could be digitizer which if it is then im ****ed.
had enough of this, broke the screen 2 months ago and spent £150 fixing it and £20 for a broken sensor.
arghhhhh.

Flashed a new firmware on it whilst deleting everything on the phone through pc companion but still no luck.

Im confused here, the phone guy said the digitizer is built in with the screen but im checking on ebay and theyre selling a seperate digitizer.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Touch-S...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d1637f583
So if the screen is ok and digitizer broken would installing a new one fix it?
Let me know please, confused and angry,

Apparently the screen and digitiser are glued together, making it extremely likely that one or the other will break when attempting to separate them.

It started working all by it self.
Thank god

Hi I'm trying to find a case that will protect my screen something like a thin plastic sheet my mate has such a cover for his iPhone 5.
Or is there a thick screen protector that someone can recommend?

[Q] Dust between LCD screen and touchscreen

Does anyone have this problem? My Xperia SP, when you looked in a room with lots of light (or in an outdoor environment) it is possible to realize a lot of sand between the touch screen and the LCD panel.
Not to mention my touchscreen, which displays a little "loose" the arc of the phone.
Someone managed to solve it? I've been thinking about dropping my touchscreen without removing your phone (with all care of the world, go through a credit card around the edges to loosen the glue) and then clean the LCD screen and the touchscreen using a soft brush, removing any sand present in that place. Is this a good idea?
Thanks in advance..

I saw a teardown of the phone and the lcd is not glued to the touchscreen this device is really easy to teardown but you won't get further then removing the back cover because of the side screws

I can partially remove the touchscreen without disassembly the phone? Without removing any connector, just to clean the screen.. can i do this?

You have to completely disassemble the phone to separate the digitaliser and the LCD as with most phones manufacturers tend to start with the screen and build up from there is RMA an option because that's the sort of thing covered by warranty

Is really easier? More than disassemble a Xperia Play?

@zenug I have never tried the play but from looking at photos I would say the SP is easier. It's not a difficult phone to disassemble nothing like as hard as certain fruit based phones. Just make sure you go slow there's nothing more frustrating than waiting for a new ribbon to arrive because you damaged one. There are videos on youtube of the teardown. One last thing vv important if it is sand or dust in between the LCD and digitaliser use a can of compressed air to blow it away sand will scratch the glass and ruin the LCD. Fingerprints and smears from cloths are almost impossible to remove. Think fitting a screen protector but cleaner, much cleaner. Try and avoid touching or wiping either surface if possible.

Well, I've cleaned the screen using my ninja technique (passing a card around the screen edges to loosen the glue, I used a brush to clean properly) and not to the problem appears again, I used a kind of "glue" to stick the edges and prevent the entry of dust on the screen. I do not think that is a definite "fix", because it is a McGyver technique that should be resolved by Sony.
sorry for my bad english

Even i have got the same prob
If i take it to service centre(phone still in warranty)
Will i be charged?

No you will not be charged its a hardware failure and make sure they reseal the screen not just clean it or the dust will get back in

[Q] Broken but working Nexus one screen, touch screen digitizer replacement?

My Nexus One fell from my bike and has cracks all over its face now. :crying: However, the touch sensitivity seems intact and there's only a visual impairment (and a finger-hazard) due to the cracks.
Here's the phone as of now: imgur . com/a/SQJjB (please remove the spaces, can't post links yet).
I'm able to unlock and operate the phone like normal , but the broken glass poses a danger in both using and transporting the phone like normal.
If I want to get this fixed, would I have to go for the usually suggested "touch screen digitizer" replacement? Or since the touch sensitivity is intact in this case, could this end up with a cheaper/easier fix?
I ask here because the local HTC centre says they have to send it across to the next state and can't give me a cost estimate either, so I want to know whether this would be worth the fixing cost. Thanks!

Yup, whole digitizer needs to be replaced
Really isn't super complicated either so if your willing to try to fix it yourself you'll find the screen super cheap on eBay and many guides on how to

Thanks.
I've found the digitizer at a few different places, but there are also warnings here and there about how the actual LCD screen inside is paper thin and can be very easily damaged during this fixing. For a newbie to phone repairs (but who's worked with PCs/other electronics quite a bit), how much of a risk would that be in your estimation? Those warnings were mostly for other phone models, do those apply to N1 too?

I don't feel like the n1 is as much of an issue in this regard compared with other devices. I have had this issue with a few phones and did ruin one display once, but that's out of 100s of fixes (used to have an eBay store buying and fixing phones) and the n1 isn't what I would put on the difficult side.
Just watch some YouTube videos on this replacement and see if you think its something your comfortable with, personally I think this phone is on the easier side to disassemble
Best of luck!
