Hey guys,
Water damaged my Captivate a couple months back. Sent it to a repair guy and he was unable to get it working. I think given the right parts and some help from TechRepublic's tear down i might be able to do a better job myself. If anybody has a spare speaker for the Captivate it would help a lot. I cannot afford to buy an off contract device at this time. Please let me know if you have that part, or any other spare parts, as well as any advice on this issue. Cheers.
About to replace my LCD and digitizer after an accident that has left my phone useless
I found a guide online and the items needed.
any heads up or pointers I should know about before doing this?
I hope you have insurance... First time I tried to open something electronic up, I cracked the screen! (ipod) be careful man
Sorry to hear man, but before you do anything you aren't really comfortable with I would suggest looking at some local cell phone repair shops. My brother cracked his LG G2x and the price for the digitizer was abour $75. We searched on yelp.com and called around and found a great shop that would repair it for $95 within two hours. Some places were charging well over $100 and would take at least 5 days to repair.
In the end though my brother was extremely happy with the experience and once he got his phone fixed he flashed a new ICS rom and it was literally a brand new phone! Good luck though my friend.
I cannot stress it enough, get an HTC digitizer! I bought a $30 one off of amazon and it gave up after a month. Get a cell phone tool kit and plenty of the two sided tape, just in case the screen needs to be redone. It's not hard to do, it just requires some time and a little patience. You'll do fine.

It's not that I don't feel comfortable with it, just never attempted it. I've done small electronics repair before though so i'm sure this will be fine.
Also thanks,
I'll let you guys know how it goes.
I'm replacing my wife's digitizer soon but I got a cheap one off eBay. Hopefully it doesn't have issues. It comes with a kit including the tools needed. Supposedly.
phone wont work after replacing the screen.
any ideas y it wont work,
The phone won't boot up at all? or is the touch screen not working?
Make sure all the ribbon cables are properly connected and are not broken. If not, you might have gotten a defective screen replacement.
RE:
Hi,
I replaced my digitizer.
To anybody who will do this in future, when you put the new digitizer in place, make sure that no dust or other things get under the glass.
I very recently hard bricked my beautiful phone with no chance of recovery. So my plan was to replace the motherboard. I scoured the internets in search of said motherboard and all I could find where a few listings of cracked phones and one mobo on ebay worth buying(got outbid 3 or 4 times so far). I was wondering if anyone had a sketchy site from overseas I could order from, a place that actually stocks the part. Thank you for your time, good day.
hello, i recently cracked my z3's screen digitizer, and i intend to replace the whole screen assembly, since replacing the digitizer only sounds like an extremely hard task.
i have gone through aliexpress, amazon/ebay us.uk sites, but i can't find a trustworthy OEM seller, they're all either aftermarket refurbished or completely defective fake .
so can anyone please tell me from where can i order online to get an OEM parts for my phone ? getting local repair is out of the question, they want to charge me 300$ and sony authorized re seller wants 350$....
please, any suggestion would be helpful .
I bought the screen digitizer from etrade supply. I will have someone attempt to replace 4-5 days from now. I'll let you know how it goes.
thank you !!!
I recently started learning how to repair smart devices about half a year ago and I love tinkering around with different issues. Sometimes I would buy or auction devices off eBay and tinker with it. But sometimes I have come across a water damaged device and I was wondering does other components such as camera, flex cables, and other components other than the motherboard still work? Does using a multimeter continuity help finding out if it still work? Because right now I am building a website where I want to try to sell parts and components at a discount price. Someone please help answer! Much appreciated.!
