Just wondering if anyone here has had any luck replacing the front panel on the phone?
My phone took a drop yesterday and smashed the top corner, At first there was distortion on the screen and colour placement was wrong.
But after lifting the crack / broken glass part, it appears to have corrected itself.
This making me think its just the front Panel that is damaged.
replacing the screen is £150-£200 here in the UK
But replacing just the front panel is about £20
I know the phone is pretty much glued together, so has anyone had any experience or know of anyone who has successfully removed and replaced the front panel?

Hi there. A friend of mine gave me a G1 with a cracked digitizer. I ordered a new digitizer from ebay, and after it arrived today, I installed it. I then powered on the phone and found that the lower ~8mm (in vertical orientation) of the digitizer is unresponsive.
After futzing with it in the maps app, I noticed that if you start your gesture where the digitizer works and drag across the trouble area, the map shutters and shakes back and forth as though it were getting input from all directions.
Has anyone encountered this? Any possible solutions? I'm stuck
Ugh, I thought the digitizer wasn't seated properly, so I dis and re assembled and the issue persists. Is this a defective digitizer?
It's really distressing not being able to use that lower portion. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Hehehe. User Error
For anyone facing this in the future, the ribbon connector at the top of my digitizer was bent slightly, as it could not sit flat because of two of the little rubber bits near the top. Remove rubber bits (like the manual tells you too ) and refit the digitizer, then refit the rubber bits and continue reassembly. Fixed
I feel so stupid.
my touch 3g became unresponsive at right lower corner of the screen. within a day, whole of screen became unresponsive
I have the same problem but fot the left part of the screen. Any ideas?
Yuppers. The digitizer's borked. Have it replaced, it costs some 12 Euro on eBay.
I had the same problem with my Jade.With a simple action it came back to life.I took a sharp knife and raised a bit the plastic upper cover on the Digitizer.It worked instantly.Perhaps a small quantity of air or humidity has entered between the Digitizer and the upper plastic cover.This was the problem of my Jade.When i looked on the screen with the light off i could see some shapes on it.If you can see them too,perhaps you're having the same problem.
any tutorial?
Like the tittle says, screen is still working, but the glass has a big tear and a crack with small splinters where the back button is
Would replacing the digitizer be enough?
Thanks
Started noticing the ambient notification (when you pickup the phone the screen supposedly emit the black/white display) is gone, right after I'd installed one of those eBay tempered glass screen protector.
The cutout of the glass, I do not think it obstruct either the camera lens or anything else.
Anyone have this problem? If so, how to remedy this issue (without having me take off the protector...lol). Thx.

You will need a different screen protector - one that does not cover the sensor.
Before you do that, you can try the suggestion at this link to see if it helps

I have the same problem right after installing the tempered glass
The front panel on my Z3 Compact started coming off from the top left corner few weeks ago. I got a replacement adhesive from AliExpress today and I'm trying to figure out how to apply it. In all replacement videos, they remove the back panel too to disconnect the screen ribbon. Is it necessary if I'm only replacing the adhesive and keeping the same screen?
Also, how would I go about the repair? Remove the back panel, disconnect the screen ribbon, remove the front, put in the replacement adhesive, press in the screen, heat together, then reassemble the back using the same method?
