Anyone tried replacing the screen?

I'm don't actually want to replace the screen. But I would like to get behind the screen so I can glue it down some.
My problem is the right side of the screen is not flush. It's a bit above the chrome. I kinda lifted it up when I was trying to pull off the screen protecter, but accident pull up the screen instead. I can press on it back down, but it goes right back up.
So I just want to be able to accesse the back/side of it and add a tiny bit of crazy glue to keep it down.
I took off the two screws from the back of the screen (nothing came off) ...nothing came loose.

You're quite mad, you know. JK
Perhaps seeing one deconstructed would assist?

sorry for my reaction but this kind of shocking information combined with bad english feels really funny. I can almost imagine a VERY foreign guy talking really fast at nighttime on some alley in downtown and lashing with fuze like ti would be like an old Nokia brick.

[Q] Back Cover

I am having trouble with my back cover on my Triumph... under the camera to the right, it is raised up a little bit like its loose...but i cant get it to stay down! any tips?

This happens sometimes when I put the cover back on. Usually I can just press it and it will stay down, or remove it and slide it back on while holding that corner down.

Pretty sure you just don't have all of the securing tabs engaged correctly. Remove the battery cover, line it up with the bottom of the battery compartment and make sure it's pushed all the way down on all four corners, then carefully slide upward toward the camera. Everything should line up and fit perfectly.

Replace cracked screen, now screen just glows?

Hi. My HTC Inspire had a cracked screen so I bought a digitizer replacement, and the disassemble/install/reassemble seemed to go ok. But after doing so I turn on the phone, it makes the little vibrate as it starts and then the screen comes on but as a low glow and doesn't go past that. Don't know if the phone is booting all the way or not, just see the glowing screen.
Did I screw something up or is there something I can do to get past that?
I've done a soft boot, the battery was removed for an hour while I was replacing the screen, the SIM card is firmly set, etc.
Thanks for any help!

Well, the phone was sitting here "on" (still only with light glow) and I heard text messages coming over and the little green light is now flashing so the phone is up and running apparently, the screen just isn't showing. But it's has the light glow, is it possible the new screen isn't all the way set in place even though it has the "glow"?
Thanks!

Sounds like the screen is getting power but one of the wires is not put back completely. Made be you reversed the wires when you reattached them

Thanks a bunch for the reply. When attaching the glass to the LDC there's the little thin ribbon that inserts into the little white plastic clip, and then the wider ribbon part that slides up the side slot and snaps into place on the other side. Besides those two, would there be other wires I should look at? Those two look nice and secure.
Thanks again!

I have not taken mine apart yet but I walked a buddy threw it over the phone. Are you sure the cables are plugged into the right connectors? I think he also mention 2 plug in plugs that needed to be attached as well. What I would personally do. Is take it back apart and make sure everything is cool. Making sure the ribbons are not pinched or messed up and making sure all connectors are connected firmly.

Yes everything is plugged into the correct place, actually only fit in specific areas. I've just finished taken the phone apart for the 5th time and the ribbons are all flat, not kinks, seated fully, etc. I'm starting to wonder if the screen I got is faulty. I'll keep piddling with it.
Thanks.

[Q] Question about bezel trim near power button. Possible Crack?

Without going into a long story I just bought another 300 yesterday after returning the previous one. Upon opening and inspecting it I noticed what looks like a crack along the bezel trim in the upper left corner (in landscape) Between the power and volume buttons. Its right along the bend from the side the to the top. Ive had other 300's and never saw this on any of the others. But Im not 100% sure its a crack. It might just be a joint spot that wasnt aligned right and therefore the paint doesnt cover it. Using my thumbnail I pried slightly to see if the crack opened but it doesnt. Its still secure. So can anyone else verify that they can tell that this is a joint spot?
I also noticed a few things underneath the screen, and normally this would drive me crazy, but after all these returns and exchanges Ive gotten to the point where Im accepting flaws that just shouldnt be there. Its charging now from being totally dead so Ive only gotten a glance at the powered on screen to look for light bleed, and there is one pretty noticeable spot, but it looks like it might be a keeper as far as that goes. As long as I cant see the few particles under the screen when its powered on it wont bother me too much. But if that spot is indeed a crack its definitely going back. Thanks guys

Definitely a joint spot. Holding the tablet in landscape, the bottom two corners also have similar, though less defined, "cracks", but the top right corner does not. Is it the same with yours?

No just the power button corner for me. Pic attached.
After closer inspection I can see that all 4 corners are like that. But the one in the pic is worse. I think they just joined the pieces unevenly, and that caused the line to show up. Im just glad its not a crack.

Well, I wasn't actually referring to them as cracks (hence quotes). I could barely see the seam by the power button, and the other two seams are even less noticeable.
Are you sure you have seams in all 4 corners? Like I said, I only have seams in 3 corners (I've checked the 4th corner many times).

Yea there there in all 4. But only on the edge visible from the front. Very hard to see but there. I cant believe how soft the plastic is. I can see small dents where I pushed down with my fingernail trying to see if the "crack" would move. Wont be doing that anymore.

[Q] Tapping on upper middle of screen makes rattle vibrate sound like something loose

Do any of you have this issue?
When you tap on the middle upper of the tablet a little bit hard it causes a vibrate clicky loose sound like the components behind are loose?
I only noticed it today and im sure it wasn't like this before or if it was not so prominent.
Im out of my retailers return window so if anything needs to be fixed I'll have to go to samsung.
The device functions ok but im just a little concerned the screenis coming loose or thr digitizer..thevibration clicky sound is quite annoying and i can't remember if it used to be there i think it might as directly behind where it rattles is the camera and above the battery and speakers. I just hear and feel a vibrating rattling sound which annoys me and feels like the build is poor. Can you guys try tapping the middle upper of your tablet quite hard or moderqtely and see if you have same issue?
What do you think has happend screen coming loose?

I think the resistive and conductive layers of the screen have come loose from the hard tapping.
If i hold down the middle of the screen and release it makes a 'sticky' sound. What is likely to happen if this continues?
From reading it says the resistive and conductive layers come in constant contact meaning it. Ould misinterpret commands.
Is it possible the screen is just loosened from the digitizer or is it more likely the 2 layers of resisitive and conductive layer are loose?

Does anyone know what this is?
It is so annoying in certain parts of the screen it seems to be looose hence the tapping. Is the glue loose or the screen coming apart?
If i lie it flat on a table there is less rattling when i type but when i put it in my case to hold it up the clicky rattling sound is more im just worried it's going to collapse at some point. Can anyone fathom what might be causing this?
It feels like the creen has come loose slightly in certain parts of the screen as if i tap on the opposite side across the screen it seems to c9rrect this issue for a few secs which leads me to think the screen is coming loose

Ive just realised now it's the back cover which is loose or the insides.
It seems by me pressing down on the front screen too much and the back of the tablet not completely heald down on a flat hard surface t has somehow caused the back cover to come loose of the parts inside have come loose by being forced back slightly.
Does anyone guess what is hppening?
When i flip over the tablet and press the back and tap the back cover on the right side it sounds loose and if i press on it there is some give like there is some space.

So ive identified what is thr cause of this and it's that my case which has rubber corners which hold it against the back of the backbpard leaves a gap between tge tablet and the backboard of the case cover. When i tap the screen too hard it causes a flex ehich unfortunately has caused the tablettobend and push the motherboard and insides onto the back cover which hss now flexed and stretched i presume? Or it has xaused the components to dislodge and misplace, can the back cover actually stretch this much?ithought it wad hard pladtic that retains its shape
I heard the tab s creaks also but mine is the back cover has stretched out fr8m within not holding the components snuggly if that makes sense. What is the fix for this?
