Problems installing EB40 battery - Motorola Atrix HD

My EB40 arrived today so I went to install it and I'm having several issues. I took off the black casing (the one with 10 black screws) under the back cover to get the battery in, and now it won't snap back down properly around the buttons and card slots so it's nearly impossible to get SD/sim cards in and out and the power button frequently gets stuck, requiring the casing under the back cover to be removed again. Aside from that, my screen no longer registers touch input within about half an inch of the top of the screen.
What components may I have damaged installing the battery that could cause all this?

Maybe its a digitizer issue...

That part seems to have fixed itself overnight.

Then broke again. It seems to only work properly when both back panels are removed.

Seems I screwed it up somehow... First EB40's ribbon cable snapped. Second one just will not power the phone. Put EB20 back in and now digitizer isn't responding to touch. Can anyone confirm the component marked in the attached image is the digitizer's connector?

Silver piece bulging out on left side.

Hey I was wondering if anybody else's plastic piece is bulging out on the left side look at the pics below. The first one is the bulged on the left side of the tablet and the second picture is the right non bulged side. Maybe I'm just OCD but now I can't stop looking at it and its driving me crazy.

Thankfully my screen lifting problem was solved by me just loosening the screws so I'll use that for now until it stops working, but this is bothering me.

I also fixed mine the way you have done it but that was temp solution and I tried tightening as well and the sponge removing solution but all were temp. This washer solution is permanent one.

The washers caused the trim bulge for me. Took out the washers and loosened all screws. No more trim bulge and screen lift is resolved, for now.

Once I get a case this won't even matter because I won't see it but for now I can't stop staring at it.

Did you add in washers, or do you have this bulge without having made any modifications?

Any help for my Captivate?

I had to do the UnbrickableMod on my Captivate. That went perfectly, however, a couple days afterwards my screen turned to this. The color is like this from boot, even the AT&T animation has this color. I tried flashing to stock with Odin and doing a master clear, that didn't help. Anyone have any ideas?

Shoot, I have no clue.... :banghead:

Not knowing fully the internals of the Captivate, is it possible that the cable that connects the screen to the motherboard isn't attached fully? Your picture looks similar to what happens when a component video cable doesn't have one of its plugs in all the way.
Thinking back to my old 8525, it had a ribbon cable that was directly under the directional pad. After a while, it would come loose and make the screen go all white, looking similar to yours prior to doing that.
Ill check that out, I'm pretty sure all the cable are tight. Thanks for the idea!

Nope, I tore it completely apart again. It still looks the same.

Case + EB40

I've installed the EB40 in my Atrix when I first got it (This one is a replacement, hard bricked last one), and I bought a case at a mall recently. I found it on Amazon to show you guys which one: http://www.amazon.com/World-Motorol...031344&sr=8-5&keywords=hybrid+y+case+atrix+hd However, I have recently had issues with it causing my speaker to cut out, I'm assuming because the plastic pulls the back away. Would there be any way to fix this or would I have to go without a case/get a new case?
I have am otterbox defender on mine and have used the commuter along with ballistic case and they all work without cutting after the battery mod.

In an attempt to get an answer, would possibly cutting the plastic a tad more solve my issue?
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
Cutting the plastic over the battery so no plastic is covering it anymore would definitely solve it.

Yes that will do it.. or you can just push the screws very tight

I tried sliding the battery under the plastic lip and after connecting the battery post the phone wouldn't turn back on. Finally got the phone to turn on but anytime the phone fc or got turned off it would be hell to get it turned back on. I would have to take the back cover off and move the battery around. I finally cut the plastic back about a half inch to where it wasn't putting pressure on the battery and haven't had a problem since. Just my 2 cents.

I removed all of the extra plastic so I could use any Cass.

Replacement screen dead?

I replaced the screen on a Verizon droid 4 and when booted, only the middle of the screen responds to any type of touch, capacitive buttons don't work, and the screen selects randomly in the middle by itself.
I've taken it apart and put everything back together 3 times checking connections and same results occur.
Am I missing something or is the replacement a dead one?

Edit: fixed the issues. It was a bad screen. Ordered from a company rather than eBay. Guess that's what I get for trying to save a couple bucks. 2 replacement worked great.

Overheating issue - Replaced, Mana. Defect

My alarm went off as usual tismorning and as soon as I went to swipe it off, the screen cracked right where I touched. I instantly noticed the phone was incredibly hot, honestly like fire hot; the screen seemed softer than normal. The crack was more internal than external, but the phone still functioned normally. I've experienced hot phones but nothing like this before. I couldn't stand having a brand new phone with a crack.
I took it to the AT&T store right away and even though it's been more than 15 days they replaced it in store without a problem and claimed it was a manafactuar defect. They also replaced my charger wire, as that could have been the problem as well.
Has anyone else experienced overheating on this device? I love this phone but that's just ridiculous.

On my first phone, it'd incredibly hot, the battery would only last about 5 hours with light usage. The right side of the screen popped up from the bezel. Did AT&T email you a survey about why you replaced the phone? They sent me one after I did the exchange it was focused on issues with the phone.

I haven't gotten a survey or anything yet, but I assume I will.

I configured corporate email to connect to my work email server and my phone would only last about 5 hours with light usage. It got very warm but not as hot as you described. After I turned email sync off, both issues went away.
