the old M001 and M002 apad touchscreens are incredibly difficult to locate. I bought a pair of dead Apads from someone on Craigslist and managed to get one of them booting, but the touchscreen is non functioning due to a broken ribbon cable.
I was wondering if an off the shelf 7inch TFT touchscreen could replace the one on the apad, or if it sends/recieves different instructions then the one installed in the apad.
I'm willing to delve into software/driver hacking if it's possible, and also hardware modding to get it to fit.
Just a bump on this topic, if someone has some inkling of an answer I'm all ears. If this topic is in the wrong place, feel free to move it.

Hi!
I saw few people talking about digitizer replacement on old devices. This discussion about newer devices like Touch Pro2. I have a device which has working LCD but problem seems to be with its touch senstivity. Its not supporting touch on the screen, which as per the original user is a problem of digitizer. He fell the device & got this problem.
May I know if it is a problem of digitizer since everything works completely, all hardware buttons & everything but touch support.
Can you plz help me in this problem, I got the digitizer but dont know how to put it & make the device working.
Any technical help would be highly appreciated.
Sunny
bump, lolz, seems you guyz are also answer less like me.
Anyone tried disassembling such high end device? or has anyone tried replacing digitizer on his or her end?
I wish to help others in case I get a small bit of information about their personal experience.
I posted once before asking where to get a touch screen replacement. Since I have discovered no one in the world has one, now I would like to know is the screen part interchangeable. I am thinking that I could use the screen from the galaxy tab 10.1 because the screens look very similar. Has anyone tried this? Is it even possible?

I'm going to buy the part. I wouldn't cannibalize a perfectly good tablet that's just wrong.
The parts would not likely be compatible, even if the two tablets were using the exact same screen technology and the same screen size. Every tablet has a different placement on the ribbon cables, batteries, daughter boards, speakers, etc., which all has an effect on how the screen, buttons, and bezel will all fit together on top. You have to use identical devices in order to be able to swap parts.
Haha, just had to make sure.. You know, in case you were that crazy about your asus.
Hey!
I really hope that this haven´t been asked already...I haven´t found an answer yet. Tell me, is there any possibility to get a digitizer working on this touchpad? I do not have any knowledge about the technical requirements for these active pens...
Y dont you just get a ipad pen type of pen?

Do you mean a capacitive stylus? The screen is capacitive so only a capacitive stylus will work. Just check out ebay. Any stylus that works with an ipad, transformer, or iconia will work on the touchpad.
If you are thinking of something more like a Wacom tablet type 'active' digitizer, then no, they cannot work with a standard (capacitive only) device. They operate using a radio frequency system which has to be present both on the pen and on the tablet itself.
The bonus is improved accuracy and sensitivity for the device, the drawback being cost, a *screenless* wacom tablet using that technology is already a hundred dollars or more, and to combine it with a screen wacom charges a thousand dollars handily.
HTC has a compromise of a sort with the flyer tablet, but again thats a two part system, part of it is in the pen and part is engineered into the tablet itself.
Thats´what I meant (an active digitizer)...okay, thank you all for your help!!! In this case I have to find out, if such a capacitive pen runs well, but I´ve heard that the are not that good...
Thanks!
Hi,
Could you please help me on how can we fix broken touchscreens? I'm using Tinji (Tianji i9300 s3 clone) mt6577 phone. My Einstien brain managed to cut the flex cable to touchscreen and its now not responding at all. I'm using Tinji i9300 mt6577 chinese phone.
Initially, the screen did not respond on the right and left wing where I was struggling to even unlock it.. Thought of opening the cell and reassembling it myself looking at various forums feedbacks mentioned here. I opened the cell apart but before I could realize that the flex connection touchscreen, I already had broken it and now the touchscreen does not respond at all. Dead as stone!!
Is there a way to fix it. Request your help plz. Thanks.
buy a new one. those digitizers are not that expensive and getting a new one is easier than soldering a flex cable. trust me, i tried it myself on a cannoo.

Request you to please guide me from where do we get these digitizers? are they screen specific as in 4.7 inch or CPU specific as in mt6577 specific? Or will normal digitizer work? Thanks.

Hi,
The touchscreen digitizer on my Lenovo A820 was broken so I bought a new one and installed it. Removal was a bit difficult since my touchscreen had many cracks. Anyways, I managed to replace it with the new one without any issues. But it's not responding at all! All the physical buttons work but the touchscreen just doesn't respond. What do I do now? Is this a kernel issue? I use a modified ROM. Please help me guys. I never thought things would go this way.
Somebody please help me. Is it the digitizer or the kernel?
it is the digitizer
it is the digitizer. no doubt about that. get a new one from another supplier
