I was peeling off my bodyguardz screen protector to put on a new one, and the darn thing was so stuck to my screen it took a lot of force to peel it off. As I was pulling it away I noticed that my "screen" seemed to be lifted off my HTC fuze!! After I kept pealing I noticed from the side that there was a film that was peeling off that had adhesive to the screen with the body guardz. I'm too scared to proceed and have left my phone that way.. my question is there a protective film (not counting any sort of screen protector even the one that comes with the fuze) on top of the screen, and that was what was peeling off? Is that film important for the touch screen itself aside from protecting it (or does it keep some part of the screen in place etc etc).
Thanks in advance, the screen does turn on and is still touch sensitive but I'm too scared to peel off the rest of the body guardz that have that "film" come off with it.
Someone removed that and lost their touchscreen so be scared IMHO.
aaahhhhh can you link me to that post? I tried doing a search, I cant separate that film from the bodyguardz either... =(
I think it is the digitizer that is comming off, or part of it anyways... the only thing I could find online is this

Hello again
So
After giving it a lot of thought, i decided to disasamble my phone to see if i can get rid of that stain. I have to say that it was a bit difficult to folow the guide but i finaly opened my cruise.
In the end i realised where was my problem.
The digitizer has 2 components:
A glass layer witch is on the bottom, and a plastic one (on top) witch are keppt together by twosided adhesive tape.
The "stain" was caused by the plastic layer, witch for some reason wasn't staying straight (it had a small bump...).
I figured this out when i pealed this layer from the glass one, witch i shouldn't have done because the layer has a connection with the glass and the small ribbon witch goes into the mb.
So for any of you, if you encounter my problem, better let it that way, cause the alternative will be a new digitizer.
I'll go to the htc service in romania to see how much will they charge me for a new one, and if the amount is to much, i'll try to order one from the web(altho not that many companies ship to my country )
Wish me luck.
LE: I have a question thow
How can you remove the digitizer from the casing ?
I tryed to pull it but i was afraid to damage something (else).

Heres a link to the picture the guy with the polaris took... the HTC black bordered part is still on the screen but there is a film sitting on top of it thats peeling off with the bodyguardz.
This is a cruise polaris and not a raphael but I think this post is referencing the same thing. Does anyone have any advice to give me? My phone is still sitting there with half of the "digitizer" peeled off stuck to the bodyguardz grrrrrrr
bump...........

That has happened to me as well. I'm afraid you'll just have to get another digitizer off ebay.
ughhh!! any help on the assembly?
Spray some of the liquid that came with it on the touchscreen (underneath the bodyguardz screen protector; spray little by little or use your finger) and it should come off with a little less effort without tearing out the screen. That's what I did. Btw, make sure you turn off your phone and dry it before you turn it back on if you do that
Evening all.
So my beloved DHD needs the screen and digitizer replacing. Ive done the necessary reading/ searching and ive also located what appears to be a decent replacement.
Here is the thing.......
Has anyone successfully managed to do the replacement and keep the " Home, menu, back, search " buttons lighting up post screen replacement ? If so i would really appreciate some pointers on how you did this.
Thanks in advance
i replaced a digitizer / display on my dhd once and did the same on some Hd2 before.
On DHD its really difficult to replace the screen / digitizer. You most likely damage the plastic frame around the screen and indeed the arrangement of the Leds are no easy too, but not too hard to maintain. I wouldnt change the screen of anyone others DHD, just my own.
Yes, ive read that the replacement process is somewhat fiddly / tricky and no i would'nt do it for anyone else either. Im going for a pre assembeled screen / digitizer.
digitalizer is glued on lcd and lcd is glued on the middle metal plate, removing lcd from the plate requires heating it and it sure isn't fun, even after heating it it is still hard to remove without damaging the plastic frame, if i were you i would take it to a service shop with already bought part and paied them to change it, trust me it is not worth the nerves and the time
I'm a very handy guy and I accidentally tore a ribbon cable separating the pieces glued together. It's very hard, worth paying someone.

yes, but it was a pain, hold the pieces in place with double stick tape and be careful not to bend them!
Yup I successfully managed to replace a digitizer but I'm also a trained phone technician.
The most important thing is to be very careful. You should never have to use force in order to disassemble a phone.
How to get the cracked digitizer off? Simple, use your oven.
* Place the display-module (Chassis, digitizer,LCD) on a tray, make sure the plastic parts don't touch the bottom, so that it doesn't melt.
* Heat the oven to about 80-100 degrees celsius.
* The display should come off pretty easily.
* If you've done it properly, you can use the same adhesive that was one the chassis/frame if not you'll have to purchase some slow drying adhesive and carefully place it around the edges.
* Carefully move the light-guides on the bottom of the screen to the new digitizer. There's a small amount of adhesive on them so don't get any sweat on them. If they don't stick just use a very very, I'm talking pixel size amount of adhesive on it to get it to stick.
That's about it. Thread the flex-cable around the display and use a tweezer to connect it.
So I bought this off eBay to replace the screen and fix it, but when I opened it up I found this(look at pictures) one of the ribbon holders fell apart as I took off the tape. God knows how it was working. The drop must of shattered it. So any suggestions on what I should do, I was thinking some really strong tape to keep the ribbon in place but I doubt that will last very long. The bottom part that connects it is still in good shape.
Hi guys
Sadly I have a cracked display...so there are no spare parts available and the shops in Germany would like to have something around 500€.
I changed in the past some Sony-Displays and thought about doing myself. I found on aliexpress some U12+Displays.
Sadly I didnt found a single "manual" or how to, to do this right - anyone can help?
Best regards
Maybe these vids from JerryRigEverything can help you out.
Good luck!

I just replaced mine yesterday and it was more difficult than any other one I've done in the past. Anyway I never found one single video on YouTube that showed the screen removal and pretty much had to play it by ear. There are a few videos that show the disassembly of the U12+ and each stops before removing the screen. My advice is to remove everything from the frame, I managed to piece together enough from the videos to know there are 15 screws to remove, one video said 14 but there's one more that's hidden until you've gotten under the motherboard holding the front facing cameras. Knowing I wanted to keep it simple I didn't remove all of the antenna wires, there's one at the bottom that's under the speaker cover that I left attached so I only disconnected it from the motherboard. Then the other I only disconnected near the vibrator, leaving it connected at the motherboard, so each piece had one wire that stayed connected. Meanwhile you'll have to undo every other plug on the device and with a little persuasion everything fell out. (Don't attempt to remove the button/pressure sensing strips along the sides!) Once you are down to the frame, and for me the ear piece speaker, I used a heat gun to soften the bond between the glass and the frame. It doesn't loosen up very easily, they are really bonded together. I got most of it and then began to chip away at the broken glass. You'll want a good heat gun for this part. I had to set mine to 300F to really get it to loosen up and then work mm by mm around the edge getting all of the glass and glue out of the track. This probably took me a half hour or more. I used E6000 glue but only because I would have had to order B7000 or any other recommended glue. E6000 is a good glue but just because many of the other videos I watched used B7000 I would have liked to use it too.
To install the new screen I used a syringe filled with my glue to follow the small glue track around the edge of the frame. Don't worry about squeeze out because this glue is very forgiving and wipes away easily with IPA Alcohol and a rag. I followed the old glue placement, adding a little extra near the bottom corners and a dab around the ear piece speaker holes. Then it's just reversing the process to assemble the electronics. Now here is another word of warning, the plugs are so small and some are not easy to align but be sure they snap into place and are flat when installed. I made the mistake of not getting the display plug flat and had to do a partial disassembly to correct the issue.
I didn't glue the back on but think I might today just to try and achieve the waterproof level the phone shipped with. You may have to glue yours but I had previously broken the back and already replaced it and the replacement came with a double sided adhesive strip that was still pretty sticky. If I remember correctly the original back was glued on and probably wouldn't have stuck if I had tried to just replace the back as I did.
One other note. After being disassembled and pulling the battery my finger print scanner didn't want to work. In fact it didn't even show up in the menu when I went looking for it but restarting the phone again caused it to show up. My advantage with the double sided adhesive was I was able to test everything and use the phone for a full day before committing to gluing the back on. Now that I know everything is working, the phone is charging and it all seems good I can glue the back on.
Best of luck
Can somebody help me. I need to buy a new middle frame bezel for my a51 and the ones online on amazon appear to be missing the big black thing that attaches to the front middle half way to the top. I don’t know what is or where to find one. When the bezel is attached it will sit by the right side of the main power cable to sub. Thanks I tried replacing my screen reattached the phone. And accidentally glued that piece and pulled it apart after reddissasmbling.
