If anyone remembers, I had made a post about me dropping my Triumph, and I mentioned that It would no longer take a charge. Anyways I wanted to know if I had broken the glass or the lcd. Now before you ask why the **** did I scratch out the serial numbers. I thought there might have been a hidden screw under that plastic. Of course I'm a noob at this, and honestly I just took pics of the serial numbers as backups. So yeah I just need to find a screen replacement/digitizer. Here are some terrible pics hahaa.... http://imgur.com/a/3sa6z
Did you happen to notice if we can do anything with the antenna?
Would you mind elaborating a bit. In terms of messing with the antenna and changing it? Just let me know I would gladly take more precise pictures.
I didn't even manage to find an antennae there.... Am I blind or is it hiding on another side of a PCB?

too bad. you could have warranty exchanged it

i've aquired a sgs on ebay, i'm getting massive camera interferance. i mean it makes the camera unusable, i'm looking for information regarding the warranty void sticker on the sgs. or what they look for for hardware voiding of warranty. i can't tell if its been opened or not, but i see no sticker and the screws dont look used.
so anybody know where the sticker is/whats broke when you open it?
thanksbois!

No "seal" so to speak. I had my wifes apart before I returned through warranty for screen issues and there would be no way to tell though there is loctite on the threads of the screws that I suppose could indicate that they had been removed if it is not present though I had no issues with warranty department.
The only warranty voiding sticker that I know about is the moisture sticker under the battery cover.
faaantastic. how might one go about checking a warranty ona device.
Well mine is white and it's never been in water lol so I'm clear.
It's not the main sticker with the build number on it, it's on the side where the battery contacts are
Cheers mate
haven't spotted it on any of the ones i've worked with. Though haven't really had to go so far to look for 'em.
If you got it through ebay, why are you worrying about the void sticker? I wouldn't expect ATT/Samsung to honor anything through that kind of purchase.
its a samsung manufactured phone, the warranty shouldnt matter where the **** you got it. they made it, they should fix it. as long as its not stolen or anything i see no reason they wouldnt honor it.
not playing the troll game, you obviously already have a strong opinion regarding the entirety of this post and jump quickly about it. My stance is my experience versus yours, while I agree with what SHOULD occur and happen, from a business and experience-oriented standpoint it doesn't happen.
Most of the things I've bought on ebay, OEMs wouldn't honor, and if they would I never knew because I never had problems with whatever it was. Just because you bought it fair and square, doesn't mean it wasn't stolen prior or previous owners/users might have done something to get the device blacklisted and that's why it's on the market to begin with(thinking used xbox 360's and wanting to play online multiplayer after the console got caught for being modded). Meh, probably just my paranoia and experience in other markets.
As for Void stickers, generally you would see it before breaking it. Since the manufacturer would have to be able to confirm it is intact before breaking it themselves to conduct repairs. So any stickers like that would generally be fairly blatant and visible before you risk tampering with them. <-- Experience on computer equipment.

I got my tab back from RMA (doa) they replaced the screen and there is now a speck between the screen and glass... I can live with the light bleed but this speck is frikin annoying Its not a dead pixel with the device off it is clearly seen under the glass... HELP i am sooo annoyed and I dont want to rma again! How do you take this thing apart?
Thanks!
You don't want to risk taking the thing apart. If you **** it up it's your fault and Asus will NOT give you free warranty service after the fact.
If you can't live with it you have to call Asus and tell them you want them to fix this. They'll probably tell you to prove that they did this by taking a picture of something that's impossible to take a picture of.
Good luck. Another casualty of ****ty Asus QC and an even ****tier RMA service.

I don't hate the TF, I do hate the way service is handled. Your whole post and your line of reasoning is so ****ing flawed it makes me embarassed just to see how embarassing you are. A case of serious contact embarassment. I should sell the TF and I must hate it because I hate how Asus runs things and I hate their QC? Are you stupid or just deficient?
By the way, ****ting on threads would be like what you're doing, making a moronic post that doesn't even begin to answer the OP on a thread, instead you sidetrack the whole discussion. Great job you selfish asshole. I don't "**** on" threads, I tell it like it is. I don't lie about the RMA process or QC, it's the truth (in less than flattering terms) and it's relevant to the OP. Next time you want to send me a love letter go do it by PM instead of hijacking another persons thread.

You can unroot it and "preserve" that warranty. This isn't really a good reason to go ahead and rip through it.

Sounds good until you miss a clip and break it. It doesn't really matter how good you or your fam is at doing this. There's a chance for anything to break especially when you're dealing with a particular device you haven't had any experience disassembling before.

There was a disassembly thread somewhere here that shows a minor teardown. Do a google search for it. Although I'm not sure it goes as far as the screen and glass. In addition you have no way to guarantee that you won't introduce more dust since I doubt you own a clean room. I highly advise you contact Asus first, you don't want to do this. There are too many risks that outweigh removing a stupid fleck from between the screen and glass. You'll end up breaking clips that hold the back to the bezel and then you finish up the job, fire the unit up and FUUUUUUUUUUU there are eight huge pieces of dust under the screen. Oops.
My I noticed a spec of dust last night on my TF and concur that its driving me crazy! Would asus' warranty cover something like this?

A coworker I started working with a few months ago told me about the much-better Sensation he had before his MyTouch 3G. It seems that he still had it, but stopped using it "because the screen cracked." I correctly surmised that it was a simple and cheap to replace touch screen digitizer and described to him that it was "just the glass cover" and that it was "cheap to replace." I have done many such repairs on other phones and gadgets.
He then told me that he had continued to use it until the LCD went blank. There is no reason to think that the LCD inside suddenly cracked, but I can only assume that it also sustained some kind of damage and now also requires replacement. Knowing that the LCD isn't cracked, what are the chances that a replacement LCD + digitizer will restore the phone? I'm concerned because we've already purchased a kit for $65.
Nobody can tell you that off the internet. If we do, that would be pure guess, just as accurate as you would have guessed.

Well, someone could have had the exact same problem and already tried it. I ran into people with the same problem already. I'm just looking for more because some, no doubt, have tried it and others may have an alternate explanation. Reasonable.
there is a good chance that will fix the problem. but since the LCD was working for a while until it blank out, it is possible the problem might be with the circuit board. only way to know is to try it out.

The LCD could go blank for several reasons. Faulty LCD, loose cable, faulty board etc. etc. Even if someone had the same problem, the reason for it could be completely different, thefore this wont help you at all except for giving you hope. If this is what you need, then i would say "yes, the change of lcd & digitizer should fix the problem" but you never can be sure unless you try When you start the phone, do you hear the startup sound? This could at least indicate that the phone isnt completely faulty.

The plus side is that you can't make it worse. So you've got nothing to lose by trying to repair it, other than the few bucks for the parts.
Well, I took it apart to re-seat all the cables and it's still blank. Reading online, I see that a lot of dropped Sensations/Pyramids develop a loose/broken SMT capacitor component near the headphone jack, but I'm not registered on any of the forums I see it discussed on and I can't see the pics. They describe a slightly different problem anyway (screen goes blank after standby). I needed sleep, so I put it all back together and I'll check that out when the parts get here. My hunch is that the LCD panel is fine and that I'll have an extra, assuming the capacitor problem is fixable. I've done some delicate soldering work before but I can't really say that I'm good at it! I didn't see any loose SMT components rattling around so I hope it didn't fall completely out somewhere.

Thanks but it's almost $70 for the parts.
Works great! Well, it had the touchscreen sensitivity issue pretty badly but the T-Mobile OTA update fixed that. Transferring all the adhesive bits from one screen to another was down-right frustrating, but I pulled it off and I only see a single spec of dust inside. The dude will be thrilled. I broke the earhook on my Looxcie so I did not make a video but it was full of me tearing and ripping the things anyway and not a good example of how it should be done!
FWIW, there was no way to remove the old screen without denting up the backing plate and prying the heck out of it to free it from multiple adhesives and glues, so I would not have had two good LCDs after testing the replacement even if there was nothing wrong with the original. Good thing it was the LCD at fault! I didn't have to drill anything like the glass replacement video I watched instructed me to do. They didn't realize that the LCD removal allows the flex PCB through just fine. I forgot to thread it back through before seating the replacement LCD in the adhesives and tape left-overs but it flexed enough to allow it through without removing, which was quite a relief after seeing how the original fared after being removed.
I am trying to replace the LCD screen on a 4G slide and I see there are two versions, a Sony and a Hitachi. The problem is that the part number on the broken screen doesn't match the part number of the Sony or Hitachi. I'm not sure what to do. I've Googled the part number on the broken screen and don't get any results. Has anyone seen LCD's other than the normal Sony and Hitachi? Maybe someone has a resource that would know which manufacturer this part number belongs to? The part number is: 83H00434-00. The serial number starts with: 2A4A. An y help or advice is greatly appreaciated.
Thanks,
Ed

MAN.....is it ever great to have you back Blue!!
Thanks for the info. I did look through both of those posts previously. I do see the Sharp referenced in the kernel code you posted, but I can't find any reference to there being one available for the 4G slide. Maybe I'll try and order the Sony first and see if it works. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong part number...I'm getting it from the silver backing that holds the screen. I'm pretty sure that's the right place. There isn't a part number anywhere on the screen itself, back of screen or ribbon cables that I could see. I guess I can match it up by appearance since the Sony version has that extra line on it and then go from there. I'd hate to waste money and order one that isn't going to work though. I have attached images of the screen and the silver backing in case anyone can see something I'm not.
This phone is an absolute nightmare to take apart without damaging the screen and now I have an LCD screen that doesn't match either of the available replacements. I've taken apart and replaced digitizers and screens (and other parts) on hundreds of phones and this one takes the cake. That sticky tape they use to hold the screen to the backing is insane. Luckily the LCD was already broken, because even with a heat gun and hair dryer I couldn't get the screen out without damaging it more. I definitely won't take on one of these again.
Sorry for the rant. :laugh: I do appreciate the help and info and if anyone else might have any ideas of why I have a different LCD part number and what replacement I should get, I'm all ears.
Thanks,
Ed

Yea, the Sharp thing is just theory, never heard about it but that's what was in kernel source so... Dunno, could be referencing something else entirely.
Also, Dillalade took pics when he tore the phone down in this post:

i also have the same lcd and i cant find anything with the same p/n or even s/n im just wondering if i could use any other screen.
if you want to know my experience with replacing the screen, read the final post HERE
i wouldnt suggest getting a sony if you have a hitachi, or vise versa
I know a couple people have asked about repairing the 8x before, but I have a couple specific questions for people who have done it before.
1. Are the digitizer and LCD fused? They sell it both ways on ebay, and I cant seem to find a straight answer about how hard it is to get at just the digitizer to change it.
2. I called a repair shop to see if they could do it, and they said they dont because when it is put together it is clipped together somehow and you have to break those clips to take it apart, anyone have any insight on this?
Only a couple post down from your....
HTC Windows Phone 8X Screen Repair Take Apart Guide
Yeah, and that doesnt answer my questions. It doesnt actually talk about replacing the screen at all, or putting the phone back together, it just talks about taking the back off and some parts out, which I could do. I was hoping someone who has actually repaired this phone could answer my questions.
I decided to go with the LCD & Digitizer together, so I dont have to mess with peeling them apart, but I have another question. Is there a difference between the AT&T and Verizon versions of this phone when it comes to hardware? None of the listings I see anywhere say anything about carrier.
I just connected screen to frame but I lost idea how to reconnect coaxial cables. lol

Good choice. Peeling them apart and fusing them together is a pain and you need good tools. I haven't done it on 8X but in my other screen repairs I won't mess with it. I don't own a heat gun, and as I understand it makes it way easier.
The only difference I've learned of is that the Verizon model has a wireless charging module attached to the back plate. They talk about it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014778&page=2
I believe they support the same bands, but don't quote me on it.
