Hey.
Today my i9023 fell flat on hard surface and my screen cracked Touchscreen is working, only the glass is broken. In my country, replacement of screen costs about 130$. I found some stuff on eBay, but is it safe to replace by myself ?
ebay.com/itm/Super-Clear-LCD-Display-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Samsung-Google-Nexus-S-i9023-/170740444063?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c0ec6b9f
Anyone tried doing it ?
Is it the good screen ? I mean there were 2 versions of this phone I think (i'm from Europe)/
I think u have the lcd screen not the superamoled like in america.
sent from my Nexus S
somewhere found this: "Google Nexus S Super AMOLED Screen (I9020)"
I have i9023 so I guess it's the other one.
So screen from te link in first post should be good, yeah ?
Yep
sent from my Nexus S
Mate, be careful when you order the scree, I have crashed my Nexus S (i9023) too, and it's third SLCD I changed but none of them was working, display was ok, but no touchscreen. And all of the screens are for i9023 model. Plus, a lot of people who own this model also are complaining a lot, that the touchscreen is not working, including this guy here

my screen also cracked and after some searches i found out that you should replace the lcd screen and the glass
if you will replace only the tought glass 90% that it wont be the same as it was before , alot of delays and problems will appear
just replace them both by following youtube guide

my phone still cracked because i read that many replacment successed but there was delay problems and unfixable stuff that would ruin the phone
the thing you should do for replace the phone screen is to replace both digitaizer and the lcd layers.
for those who replaced only digitaizer sufferd from display issues , delays and unresponsive screen
Hey guys,
the glass on my Nexus' display is shattered so badly, that I really need to do something, as I can already see parts of the logic board and the sensors are not portected anymore.
Everything is working fine so I just need the glas. I checked YouTube and I think I can pull of this kind of repair by myself.
Now I am wondering if I can buy just the cheapest glas out there, for example this one - I hope it is OK to post links: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Neu-Fur-LG-G...32?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item3aa957d050 .
Are there differences in glass quality?
Thanks for your help!
Do you have the glass and lcd separator machine?
No , I don't even know what that is, but in the YouTube videos I saw they didn't need one either. The Nexus 5 screen layers seem to be separate, unlike the nexus 4 where you couldn't use the touch screen with little cracks.

Best of luck with that - you will fail. They're stuck together,and without a special tool you will break them. Also, how do you plan on sticking the new glass to the lcd?!
You need to replace the glass, digitizer and LCD in one go. The part isn't too expensive - about €50.
If you have any experience, can you point me to a model that is good?
eBay and Amazon are full of displays between ~60€ and ~120€, are they all the same?

Personally I would only ever use an OEM part, so one made by LG. Don't go for cheap knock offs.

Thank you. Could you point me to something (if it is not allowed send a link privately). Everything priced below ~100€ seems to be non OEM parts.

Thanks for all your advice. Really helpful.
Ok so ive replaced the screen on my mums N5, with one i got here.
(its not letting me post the link to where i bought the screen, i'm too new, but this is the description "US White Google Nexus 5 LG D820 D821 LCD Touch Digitizer Screen Assembly + Frame", i got it on ebay)
The installation went fine i think, i may have damaged the camera, but i biggest problem is the touch screen. It was ok after a reboot and it was not charging. But now it is totally off now. Like and inch or 2 off making it unusable. Ive been trying to find a way to calibrate the touch screen but i have not been successful. I was hopping that someone had an idea of how to fix this. The phone seems to work in all other ways, but its hard to test at the moment.
Thanks T
Hi there, could anyone tell me based on experience, a really good LCD Screen + digitizer for me to buy? I can buy from ebay.in or ebay.com but there are hardly any ratings at all. If anyone has bought one, could you please tell me about the quality, link and if so, any defects? I would much appreciate it, thanks. Basically my screen is cracked an unresponsive, so i'm guessing I need LCD+Digi.

Hi, less than a month ago my screen also cracked, so I had to buy a new screen. Before buying it, I unmounted the phone and I had one more problem: the battery was COMPLETELY glued to the screen and I wasn't able to take it out. So finally I bought the screen and a new battery from eBay.
I bought this screen: ebay.com/itm/181445812771. I'm completely sure that the screen is the original one. I compared it with my cracked screen and they were exactly the same, except for the date printed in each screen, and it has a good quality, just as the screen that I had in my phone. BUT it was clearly used: the earpiece was a bit dirty and it had some glue on the back, probably from another battery. But I'm happy with the screen, actually, I prefer a used but original screen to a new but poor quality screen. Maybe they take this screen from a phone with a damaged motherboard or something like that. The screen doesn't have any scratch.
I wasn't so lucky with the battery. It was clearly a fake, so I returned it and bought another one from spareslg.com. I don't know if this battery is original or not, because there are some differencies between this one and the battery that I used before. Maybe this one has a bit better battery life, but I'm not sure, because now I'm using another ROM (based on 6.0 )
FYI, the non-original screens usually have problems with the proximity sensor and the GPS, so be careful with that. Good luck with the screen change! :good:
So I recently broke the screen to my phone and it was working fine but yesterday I started to get lines across the screen and cannot use anymore.
Figured its time to finally buy a replacement screen and I want the one already on the frame. I just can't seem to find one specific to the Korean models the 915 S/K/L.
Instead there are only ones for 915 P/T which is the American models. After looking between the 2 frames many many times I can only spot one difference between the two which is the positioning of the thermal tape right under the one for the CPU. All in all I think it should fit but still hesitant. Does anyone have experience replacing screens on the Edge who has any experience you could share with me.
The first picture is of the frame from my N915S and the second frame is for a listing I have been looking to buy which is for the N915P
Welp, I just tried my luck and ordered the part in and it fit everything without a problem.
For anyone in a similar situation for me it seems like the frames for this phone will fit with all models.

My screen is broken. It's not annoying but i hate it. How in lord's name did you manage to replace your glass and how much did it cost and how much did it cost to replace and where did you replace it at?

Replaced it myself, it's easier to buy the entire frame assembly + screen rather than just the screen as taking off the screen off the frame is a pain.
Also if you buy frame + screen you have a better chance at finding OEM parts rather than chinese knockoff.
Gotta warn you though the replacement for a screen costs more than some whole phones.
Something like this would be optimal: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Excellent-Bl...241748?hash=item4af43d5b94:g:VxkAAOSwT4lWThZa
Tutorial on how to swap over all the parts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYEwEHRki_8
Mine is the Korean model the 915S and the frame I bought was for 915T and 915P but everything still fit so it shouldn't matter which model frame you buy.

Thanks I'll check it out. And yeah while the pricing is huge, this phone is a one of a kind phone. It still doesn't justify the pricing but I'll let it slide because of how much this phone has helped me out with the multi screen and its note taking features

That's the exact same reason why I wanted to get this fixed. I usually sell off phones before buying a new one but want to keep this around as the first curved phone I ever owned.
Also found out that the headphone jack needs to be replaced with the one that matches your motherboard. Was trying to get audio to work in my car for hours before finding out that the issue was on the phone haha
I have ordered this one
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fast...90.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.274.5R2YVv
for a common dreaded problem of having vertical green lines appearing on LCD from nowhere (although my fault, it got it dropped on flat floor from my shoulder height a couple of times). In my case the green lines are appearing on the edge panel itself only, so the old LCD maybe useful for me to keep just for an emergency replacement as well.
Does this one looks ok, I mean any of the replacement LCD+Frame+Digitizer combo ordered from either ebay or china would rather be coming from only a handful or sources (resellers), and maybe only one or two manufacturers (who might be manufacturing it as OEM as well).
How was your experience with the replacement LCD, does it looks and feels just like original in screen clarity, colours and touch responsiveness.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

I bought mine with a cracked screen and replaced it myself. It was my first time repairing a smartphone and I followed the same instructions as the Youtube video linked above.
I found the process quite easy, luckily most of the components have screws and the video is easy to follow so I was done after 20 minutes. I can't compare with the previous screen by if I do a comparison with other phones we have at home (Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, Nexus 6) the screen looks fantastic!
