A few days ago I cracked the glass screen on my Dinc. There wasn't any significant damage aside from the crack, and my LCD screen is working fine, so I ordered a replacement on Amazon thinking I could replace it. I found a screen which reviewers claimed came with the tools necessary to replace the screens, although the product did not advertise it as such. I made the order to find that the replacement did not come with any tools, and now I am stumped. Does anyone know where I can find cheap (and usable) tools to crack open my Dinc? I was hoping to finish this before I return to college in a few weeks and I'd rather not go back with a broken screen.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure what "tools" you're looking for, but there are only a few things you need to take your dinc apart (I just did this with mine):
1. T6 screwdriver to remove 4 screws on the big red cover
2. A small flat-head screwdriver to release block clips around the big red housing and pop it off. (also used to open up the ribbon cable clips)
3. small philips-head screwdriver to remove screws securing the main board and LCD
4. X-acto knife + hairdryer to remove the digitizer (the glass that you cracked)
Do yourself a favor and order the digitizer with the frame. It eliminates the need to pry the broken glass out completely. It is a little more expensive, I think I paid $35 for mine, but well worth the time and effort! All in all it took me about an hour to complete mine! BTW, I found and ordered all the parts and tools from amazon.
Sounds like you cracked the digitizer yet you ordered a new screen?

Although the sentence structure is somewhat ambiguous, it sounds like he bought the correct replacement part, a digitizer.

I'll vouch for this, it's the biggest headache to replace JUST the glass.
Since you already got the glass, you can go ahead and order a bezel by itself if you want... make sure you get one that has adhesive on the metal lip on the inside so the dust won't get in there

Exactly. I made the mistake of ordering JUST the screen and it was a complete headache. I subsequently ordered the frame/screen combo. Much easier.

yeah i replaced mine but now i have trouble with the touch screen not working right. It randomly registers touches on the screen. Hope you don't run in to the same issue.
Glad to hear people are having success replacing these. I have a friend who's cracked his recently and will pass this thread on to him.
I replaced my screen with the digitizer/screen combo bought on amazon for under $20. it's a pain to install, but I found a good video on youtube and used their blowdryer method to make the glue more easy to manage and allow the screen to come off in fewer pieces. Also when you put the little ribbons back into their connectors make sure you get them all the way in - I had 256 color-like graphics for a little bit until I reconnected the screen properly
I've done it multiple times. I'm not clumsy, I just got the phone broken in the first place .
While it would make it easier to get the bezel, it can be done fine with just the digitizer.
They give you all the little plastic tools you need usually.
The last time I did it I used Krazy glue instead of very thin double sided tape.
I can answer any specific questions you have when replacing the digitizer if you want.
One request I have for you:
When I put the trackball back into place I wasn't sure if I did the correct order. It still works but it looks a little more recessed then it should be. Not a big deal, but it annoys me a tiny bit that my phone isn't perfect.
Could you record the exact order in which you disassemble it? It might even help you out later

I just replaced my screen tonight with an amazon digitizer kit and my trackball is also recessed. Might just open it back up and jam some leftover adhesive underneath it. I would recommend buying the frame though as it was a bit of a b*tch prying broken glass shards and adhesive from the thing. Would also make the phone look better as well..

i dont have a cracked screen but a very banged up bezel and battery cover. i calculated it and everything will cost me a total of $35 to replace. this includes the digitizer, bezel, battery cover and camera lens. cant wait to get this done.
thanks for the info on here.
Order the digitizer WITH the housing shell. I cracked my screen, too, and ordered the digitizer/screen only and ended up damaging my housing shell. The hairdryer trick is bogus and doesn't work very well, so spend the extra $10 to get the housing.
I was going to repare the screen to resell on Ebay, but since I broke the housing, I decided to just sell the actual AMOLED screen for $40. I'll find other parts I can sell, too, such as the motherboard and camera piece. Might actually end up making more money. Ah well.
I don't use Verizon anymore, which is why I ditched the DInc. Will miss it though. I do love HTC Sense. I have a Samsung Exhibit II now.
My first time doing this was with the digitizer only. Biggest mistake of my life! I could've made it work, but I was getting it replaced since it was bricked and superglue oozing out the sides might have raised some eyebrows. Digitizer+frame, void sticker, and 2 weeks later I had a "new" dinc.
Hi all,
I recently fell whilst holding my brand new N6 and cracked the screen pretty bad. The digitiser and LCD appear to work OK, so I'm taking the plunge and will try and replace the glass myself.
I've replaced the display module (glass, LCD and digitiser) for a number of family/friend's phones and feel comfortable about working with the small electronics. I've been reading and watching countless tutorials on the removal of the glass from the rest of the display assembly but and yet to find any information specifically about doing this on the N6. Specifically, I'm worried about how the speakers will affect the glass removal process.
If anyone has any N6 specific info, it would be most appreciated. I'm waiting for the replacement glass to arrive, I'll update this thread with how i get on!

I've been through that. Will be useful to get me to the display module, but would have been nice if they showed what it looks like in more detail. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures when i do this and maybe a video.

Did you try replacing just the glass or the whole display module? What went wrong? I'm also about to replace the display module on the N7 2012, the glass is cracked and half the digitiser doesn't work.

with the iphone it was both the LCD and Digitizer I was replacing and they came together as one................same with the N7, both together, trying to install/remove these separately is suicide unless you have the right tools etc........
Have you bought the LCD/Digitizer toggether inside the silver bezel, I didn't, and I should have.........
basically there was a small cable on the back of the LCD/Digitizer that was present on the old damaged module, but not on the new one I had bought, I tried removing form the old and into the new, plugged in the normal power and screen cables, but then nothing, didn't work, my frustration also resulted in a small crack to the new screen.............
it possible but you need to have patience and the tools, which it sound like you do.......but its much easier already inside the silver bezel...........
the screen was glued into the bezel and removing this was murder, managed it, but had to pick out all the smashed glass bit by bit........
don't let me put you off though, you sound more competent than me........

I haven't bought the replacement display module yet for the Nexus 7. Thanks for the info, think i'll try and get one with a bezel to be on the safe side.
its definitely the way to go as you will just be popping off the back cover, releasing the ribbon cables, removing some screws, peeling back some adhesive tape and that's you.........
and any dings to the bezel will dissapear too............
Removing the LCD ribbon cable on N6 is PITA I don't want to even think how to plug in the new one. The digitizer is easy since there is lock on it but the LCD just plugs in with lots of friction.
Any tips?

hi, how you repair cracked screen on your n6?
can you replace glass screen only or screen complete(digitizer/lcd)?

Unless you have the right equipment and lots of time buy the whole assembly.
You can watch videos on youtube how complicated is to separate the glass from LCD
£122 repair cost in UK.
Update
I'm experiencing the same problem. I've replaced the digitizers/screens on all versions of the iPhone and also on the Samsung Galaxy S4. I successfully replaced only the glass on some Samsung devices too. I'm wondering if I'll be able to do this with the Nexus 6 if I just buy the $10 replacement glass.
Thanks. Hope to hear your results soon.
EDIT: I've scoured YouTube in search of videos showing how to replace the GLASS ONLY, but I can only find videos showing how to replace the entire digitizer. So I'm desperate for any information on this. Haha.

I was reading ifixit's how to guide. They state that the digitizer is fused to the glass. Possibly that's why everyone stops at this step.....

Can I ask where this is from? I've cracked the glass, screen works fine.
yes the glass repair is possible i am uploading photos of the process i did. i do work for a cell phone repair company and this has been a very common repair. Nexus 6 glass only repair with the use of OCA (optical clear adhesive) and bonded together with an ridge to ridge lamintator and and mini autoclave.
It turns out Motorola Official repair was £128 plus the postage to send them the phone in the first place.
I am unfortunately in the same boat. I sustained probably 15 scratches that my fingernail could get stuck on them all. My phone scraped along an artificial hardwood floor when a dog stepped on it facedown and slid. So I bought some cerium oxide in an attempt to sand down and buff away the scratches. I was not successful, and it looks like I added some more scratches. I'm going to put up with them until I get more, then replace the screen & digitizer probably while also adding a screen protector. I hate the feel of screen protectors though

Impressive. What's your process for separating the cracked glass from the digitizer?
Although I'm sure the OP was asking for a way that doesn't require thousands of dollars worth of specialized equipment.
Has the OP given up on this project? I cracked my glass the other day however the digitizer still works just fine. I wanted to know if there was a do it yourself way to change the crystal without having to purchase a digitizer/crystal combo?
Thanks
I recently crack my screen on my OP3t... Save the first couple incidents, I found that ordering the parts and doing the labor myself saved a lot of money, It also was kind of fun (yea I am one of those guys). Anyway, Before doing any research what so ever on the tear down and repair I ordered an OEM original piece of glass considering that both the digitializer and LCD were both working well. My confidence rapidly depleted when I started the research and came to the conclusion that this particular repair was beyond my pay grade. I reached out to OnePlus and astonishingly they only charged around $65 USD for the parts, labor and shipping. Which is very reasonable considering that I couldn't find a display assembly for less the a hundred dollars. While my phone was still being repaired the glass I ordered arrived and I was blown away about the quality of glass. So my question is... would I be able to use the replacement glass in place of a tempered glass screen protector? With the glass they send both UV Loca Glue and Mini tools and an UV flashlight to activate the glue that from what I've read dries completely clear.. My fears about this are would it decrease the touch sensitivity of my phone and if no how would I apply the glue. IE. All over the glass or around the corners.... I obviously have no idea but I do know that if this is possible I would be ecstatic! thank you for your time and look forward to hearing the response.. Randy
I would not recommend using the LOCA for this at least. It'll be a true pain in the ass to remove if/when that time comes. If anything I'd try using an OCA film, if you can get your hands on one that fits.
Well, that could actually make some sense
As for the glue, that could actually be the trickiest bit.
Most of the bi adhesive strips would actually be too thick. And permanent glue could be a pain in the arse to remove.
Not sure the LOCA glue would actually work, as you'd need to only glue the two white/black bands on above and below the screen area so the UV wouldn't really get there.
Maybe a few drops of Loctite? That could be enough to keep it in place.
If you fancy giving it a try let us know how it works, finding a proper tempered glass screen protector proved to be quite "challenging"

Quick update... The day after I made this thread my 3 year old daughter was running to me estaticly because she took a sh!t in the potty... (fyi: Potty Training sucks) Anyways during her excitement she accidentally knocked my op3 off of the table next to the chair I lounge in most of the time. Its not a high table by an means maybe 3ft (1 meter).. Ruffly.. Anyways it landed and on very soft carpet.. (You know the spots on the carpet that are still brand new because they never experience being walked all over.. Like the high traffic areas of the same piece of carpet... Its Like if you're going to drop your phone on the carpet... That's the spot you aim for..{ADHD BAD}).. to be honest I didn't even know it fell until I went to look for it like a hour later... When I picked it up... I was the one sh!tt!ng my pants..

That sucks man and that happened from hitting the carpet ?
don't use any glue on top of cracked glass. remove screen from plastic frame, separate with cutting wire, clean old oca film, apply loca and new glass, and leave under uv lamp for 30-90mins. don't be lame with such waste of time and glass on top of cracked.
That damage seems excessive for falling a few feet onto carpet... Perhaps it's time to invest in a case

Yes... It is the reason for my indecisiveness on how to proceed forward... Because I honestly just received the phone from the repair center from the first broken screen... and for it to fall... on Charmin soft carpet and break like that is beyond my understanding... I absolutely love this phone because in my opinion it is the closet phone that would be comparable to the nexus line... but if this bullsh!t keeps up I might as well just buy a friggin' Pixel.. For perspective I purchased the 3t to replace my LG G5 which is not broken... but it is very limited on the software side.. not my cup of tea... but the thing is a tank. I have dropped that phone at times where I just knew before I picked it up that the screen was shattered... but that was never the case. The thing is still 100 percent OEM... I am starting to get hesitant about throwing anymore money at it.. I guess ill wait for a response from OnePlus support to see which pill I should take.. red or blue?? f*ck it.. ill take both

That you for the tutorial my friend but I am assuming you misunderstood the content of this post. I broke my phone, purchased glass, sent phone to OnePlus Service, Glass arrived while phone was being repaired, received phone back, was curious if I could use glass as screen protection, broke phone again, $h!t my pants..

believe it or not.... it is much cheaper then buying the parts and doing the work myself compared to sending it to the repair center without worries of more damage.
I just realized that the way I wrote this is confusing af
It is cheaper to send my phone to the repair shop then to purchase the part off the internet... that is if you purchase the display assembly.. the glass runs around $5 usd the assemblies are well over $100 usd. If you know of anywhere I can get the assembly cheaper please let me know
So I bought this Mi Mix dirt cheap because it had a cracked screen and the bezel is cracked also. Where’s a good place to get replacement parts. I’ve heard of isssues with the lcd and ambient light sensors. Can someone point me in the right direction? The lcd is fine on my phone but the glass is cracked. Is it possible to replace the glass or is it just easier to replace the whole assembly?

How much did you pay?
Mi Mix - Epic Pro
Replacing whole unit would be easier but costlier , replacing glass is cheaper but not easy, you'll need a lot of patience if your are fixing it on your own(or if some expert agrees on doing it for ya might be a plus point), you'll need special adhesive to bind glass to screen,most people use some sort of thin thread to remove glass from LCD, I have seen few people replacing AMOLED panels which are even more thinner then the IPS on Mi Mix but its not easy process lots of things should be kept in mind ,and you might end up breaking your display
1*See if someone is buying that display then sell it and buy a whole new assembly
2*If 1 is no help then you'll be left with 2 options replace glass or assembly
Either way you can give replacing glass a try if you get the glass cheaper
Replacing whole assembly is your last resort
Check you jerryrigeverthing channel on YouTube he did disassemble Mi Mix and he also replaced glass on a samsung oled panel

Last time I checked the full assembly plus frame cost upwards of 200$, not including service costs of course.
Which means that fixing up that beast is still going to be pretty pricy.
If you have the tools, skills and patience to do it though then that's definitely a goal worth pursuing.
Keep us updated on your progress, I love following DIY projects like these.
Looks like vopmart sells the bezel for 90 and the screen assembly for 100 + 10 for frame. Hmmm. What to do... Gotta check out some more teardowns to see if I want to do it myself. But from what I can see it doesn’t look to bad. I’m just not sure about the optic glue + glass & ips panel.
Little update on this. Went to the local cellphone repair shop and asked a quote for a lcd assembly replacement. I was quoted for $120 total (parts & labor) for full assembly replacement. Which also includes lifetime warranty on the screen as long as the screen is available. The repair guy was looking for screens on eBay including the frame for the lcd. Seems pretty damn good if you ask me and I wouldn't have to do the dirty work. But thing is I don't know how well they do repairs. Also, I forgot to ask for a quote for the bezel.

There are some teardowns on YouTube, quite easy with a few hurdles, the hardest part for me was removing the battery, there are tabs you pull that's supposed to help but they just snapped on me. If you're lucky it might work if not don't rush it or the battery will puncture and you will need a new one, the copy batteries are crap. Watch the teardowns a few times and you will get it. AliExpress was where I got mine there are loads of sellers with them. You will need some b7000 glue as the replacements don't have adhesive on them. The glue is very cheap and the screen come with tools.
Where did you buy it?

You need to be very selective when buying the LCD. Almost all of them do not have the oleophobic coating turning the screen into a smudgefest within minutes. I replaced my coated screen with an uncoated screen initially and it was disgusting. Luckily it was defective so I returned it for my money back and then went to Aliexpress. This vendor has the only coated version I know of:
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/For-...61ef335&transAbTest=ae803_2&priceBeautifyAB=0
Sorry for the lengthy URL. He claims to have the coating and he acutually delivers on the claim. Another important factor is the middle frame which is included and already attached to the screen. Man screens come without it and you then need to pry the old one off and glue it to the new screen. Often the glue is not strong enough and the diesplay will lift out of the phones body. Sure, it is more expensive than other options, but worth every cent. The display is fee of defects, sits flush with the ceramic frame and makes the phone look pristine.

Sorry for the lengthy URL. He claims to have the coating and he acutually delivers on the claim. Another important factor is the middle frame which is included and already attached to the screen. Man screens come without it and you then need to pry the old one off and glue it to the new screen. Often the glue is not strong enough and the diesplay will lift out of the phones body. Sure, it is more expensive than other options, but worth every cent. The display is fee of defects, sits flush with the ceramic frame and makes the phone look pristine.

This is all true, mine is smudge magnet, I can live with it but annoying everything else is ok, I clean the screen with solution then use liquid car Wax to add a bit of a coating against fingerprints, 3 coats of car Wax and a good polish off. Helps a little bit with smudges. It feels really smooth afterwards.
Got my Xiaomi Mi Mix Complete Assembly Replaced by ShatterFix

So I bought this Mi Mix dirt cheap because it had a cracked screen and the bezel is cracked also. Where’s a good place to get replacement parts. I’ve heard of isssues with the lcd and ambient light sensors. Can someone point me in the right direction? The lcd is fine on my phone but the glass is cracked. Is it possible to replace the glass or is it just easier to replace the whole assembly?

I got my mi mix screen replaced by ShatterFix (www dot shatterfix dot com). Heard of them from a friend. They have pickup and delivery service across India.
They replaced it with a 100% genuine screen and delivered back on the very next day.
Costed me 9599 INR. Service centre was asking 13.5k here in Delhi.
So, long story short, I've had my Moto z3 play for exactly 30 days now, last night I dropped it from MAYBE, 3 feet off the ground and it landed face down, front screen is cracked / spider-webbed all over, just wondering what experiences anyone has between Motorola doing a repair, local repair shops, and doing it yourself... I don't have the accidental damage insurance Moto offers, but I love this phone and have to figure something out..
Any input would be GREATLY appreciated...
Wish I could help, but I got no info to share except that when/if you get a new one . . . TEMPERED GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR! Saved me a few times.

The screen is very simple to replace I had to replace it when I shattered my screen. Bought one off eBay I think for 50$. Just use a heat gun to loosen the adhesive on the sides. Took me about 15 minutes to do.
Just an update, got it replaced at a local phone repair shop, pretty happy with it other than 1 issue, when I power off the phone, then power it back on, the screen is completely black, even though I can hear the hello Moto boot animation, and can feel the vibrations when I touch the screen. However, if I boot to recovery/bootloader mode and THEN power it on, the screen works just fine. Anyone have any ideas?

I broke my screen after a week (phone is nice but isn't durable at all).
I'm worried about screen quality. If I get a replacement, are they all the same? Or are some better? It wasn't as bright as I'd hoped to begin with so I don't want it to get worse.

The only difference I've noticed is that on my new replacement screen, it doesn't have the Motorola/Moto lettering logo on the front bottom chin of the screen, as it originally did, other than that I haven't noticed any difference in quality, brightness, etc..
Sorry about your phone. Same thing happened here - phone fell like 2 feet (with a screen protector) and bam, done. A new screen didn't help in my case. I replaced the fpc connector as well and nope, no go. These phones are extremely fragile. I say abandon ship, bite the bullet and get a new phone.

Think I may do the same. Have my moto x4 for a backup. Other than freezing up (which I could probably fix) it's not bad. I really wanted the amoled screen, but very disappointed with the brightness in daylight. Plus I don't want to pay $50+ only for it to not work as yours did. Isn't worth it imo. Which is to bad since I really like the moto interface.
Anyone know of a good replacement?
Any phone is apt to have the screen shatter without a case when dropped, while that doesn't help I want to link a video showing the Z3 Play screen is not that easy to break. The Poetic Karbon can be had for less than $10 which gives adequate drop protection it seems.

This is true. When I dropped and shattered mine, (64gb Moto Z3 Play Unlocked) I had just purchased the device 5 days prior from Target (they had it on clearance for $150, and they screwed up big-time, they had it listed as the 32gb variant, even though the box specifically said 64gb lol), anyways, I dropped it with NO case, and NO screen protector, onto concrete from about 3 feet off the ground..
However, now I have the Lenovo official aluminum bumper case that's compatible with mods, as well as a tempered glass screen protector, and have dropped it at least 4 or 5 times on a hard wood floor, from about 5-6 feet up, and has not even affected it...
