Good morning, i noticed some black points under the Gorilla Glass of my Trasformer.
They arent't dead pixels, i noticed them also when the device is off.
I think it is like black dust.
Can anyone help me : I want to disassemble the gorilla glass, to clean it.
Is it possible to disassemble gorilla glass from the screen ?
Thanks Gabriele
I don't know. But are you sure you will be able to do it in dust free enviroment so you don't get more dust inside that there was before?
I once tried opening LCD monitor to check if can change the backlight (that was going weak with time) and it was almost imposibble to get inside without taking apart everything, every layer etc.
maybe this helps

It is relatively easy to take out the glass if you know how. That said, not going to tell you unless you have a dust free environment to work in. If it was me having dust in there I wouldn't do it.
There is a black point under the glass, probably black glue in the botton right corner...so i will try to clean it...if i will know the right way to open...
There was a thread where a member reported using a hair dryer to soften up the glue. Be careful not to damage the digitizer if attempting to do this.

Obviously the dust is a big problem. When watching digitizer replacements I notice when they take the digitizer off they just heat up the face and pry the glass off with a plastic tool. This may be really stupid but can you just heat up the front to loosen the adhesive and lift up the digitizer to clean the screen? Then just either put new adhesive or whatever you may want to secure screen again? Sure you can send the phone off but there are still instances where dust comes back. At least this way you personnaly know if you fixed the problem.
My wife has a Huawei M860 as do I. Anywho, hers has a shattered glass screen. Phone still works.But please know this shattered screen causes such an irritation that it cant be healthy.
Theres no sign of a replacment anytime soon. Pieces of glass are missing now. Question is
Can I remove the glass chunk by chunk and let her just use it without glass till I get a newer phone? Will removing the glass disable whats left of her touch action?
First time posting. Srry if im in the wrong area or breaking rules. Been searching online for hours to no avail.

It is possible, but very model-dependent and I'm unsure for your device.
Modern touch phones use a sheet of glass and a thin 'digitiser' layer underneath to register the electrical capacitance of your touches. In some phones these are two separate entities, however in a lot of phones they are 'bonded' together.
Chances are if you're already missing glass pieces, they aren't bonded. I would recommend leaving as much glass in place as you can and possibly sealing the front with clear 'contact' (book cover) or a screen protector, as it affords the digitiser some protection. You don't want to have to replace both if you don't need to.
Good luck!
Just leave it be .You could break your display

Thank you for your replies. If I can remove the glass I am not worried about putting the digitizer in danger. Its an old fone that will be replaced all together. I relize if I remove the glass it will be more exsposed.
Thats not the concern. Just wondering if without the glass will it still reconize touch? Not worried about hurting the sensitive display either. I got confidents in my hamd skills. Do things like this all my life. I can be carefull

Like I said above, you'll need to research whether the glass and digitiser are fused, or separate entities. If they're separate, you should be fine.

Like juzz suggested earlier, you should get a screen protector to cover the glass - especially since you mentioned that chunks were missing. There are probably sharp exposed edges that themselves will continue to scratch her.
Thank you all for the advise. Im off to research. Again thxs

Awesome! Thanks for much for all your hard work
hi
i want to know if only the exterior glass of nexus 5 can be replaced. My phone has a cracked screen but the touch response, colors etc everything works fine so only the outer glass (gorilla glass?) is damaged. I want to know if only that can be replaced as LG ask around 150$ to replace the whole component.
can i order this? is this possible?

Thanks
Bump??
im pretty sure they are fused together and if you replace 1, you replace both.
Unfortunately you will have to replace the whole thing. When my screen broke It was functional completely aside from the proximity sensor (due to shattered glass). I tried taking it apart afterwards to no avail.
Well, you'll maybe be able to replace only the touch screen (without the LCD) but it wwill not be easy has you'll probably need to heat it to be able to remove the glue, etc.
Probably better to buy a lcd + touch screen :/
ohh
so the ebay item i linked is completely useless?
Thanks for your help guys
It's not impossible to try and replace only the glass. A friend of mine has done this with his galaxy note, which also has a glued screen+digitizer+glass assembly. However, the replacement glass is pretty bad and reflective and dust has started gathering beneath it. The touchscreen was also affected: some areas don't respond so well anymore.
I've replaced just the glass on a different phone. It's the biggest pain ever. You'd have to separate the glass via a heat gun, while trying not to break the digitizer. Then remove the glue. Then adhere the new glass to the digitizer with loca adhesive. Loca is hard to deal with, bubbles, and can get into other components ruining them. It must be cured with a uv light. And even if you can pull it off, no way will it be 100%. Strange glares and whatnot. Some try to do it with double sided tape, but that leaves a gap between the glass and digitizer, which causes strange touch responses or it'll be totally unresponsive. And be prone to break the glass easily without loca. Trust me pay the $150 and let lg replace the whole assembly.

It's too bad it's like this. Probably the most likely thing to break on a phone and they make it so difficult to fix and compared to the price of the phone, expensive to fix. Certain things should just be easily fixable. Oh well, such is life.
Hello, does anybody experiences in changing the Xperia E3 Digitizer Glass panel. Not the whole Display. Only the frontglass.
I didnt found any video or tutorial.
Maybe anybody knows a similar xperia device from where I can use its tutorial? Which xperia E devices have a similar the same kind of display assambley .
Any tip is welcome
thanks in advise
With phones that have the digitizer stuck onto the LCD, it isn't normally possible to replace one of the pieces without replacing the other. All those people selling just the glass on eBay and Amazon are just scams. However, if you have already bought a glass, just can try your luck by heating the screen with a hair dryer or a heat gun for a minute or two, then (with gloves, I learnt the hard way, REALLY hot) with a nylon string (the kind you use with fishing canes) slowly slide it back and forth in a corner between the LCD and and the glass, until you can remove the LCD easily. You may have to re-heat the screen several times. Now, there will be layer of glue on both the screen and the LCD. Try removing the glue. I can't tell you how, as I don't know how to. WARNING: Don't use alcohol or nail-polish remover to try to remove the glue, as it doesn't remove it well, and it damages the screen. Once that is done, you can try to somehow glue the LCD to the new screen. Once again, I can't tell you how as I don't know how to.
If you are successful, please write back saying how.
Did anybody try replacing the glass screen on the LG G5? Not the whole digitizer, screen only.
Looks like replacement glass is found quite cheap.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Front-O...eplacement-For-LG-G5-H820-VS987-/222227276105
There is a crack on my screen, the touchscreen is perfect. Is there a procedure somewhere that can be followed to get it done? I see a lot of videos for a complete teardown. But is it possible to just use a heatgun to take the glass off and put the new one in?
These display modules are oftenly replaced altoghether, because replacing only the glass requires it to be really precisely fitted and hermetically glued, you can probably try to seperate the digitizer from the display, but you may end up with a some dust underneath the glass or some unwanted gaps.

I had a crack on my screen at the top of when it fell down on concrete floor. I had to buy the whole display with glass and digitizer for about 130 euros. I did not know that you can just buy the glass and replace it with a lower price. Oh well... but if you want to separate the glass from the digitizer or anything what is glued, always use the heatgun. You can also use the hairdryer. I had to replace a battery by opening up a back cover with a hair dryer. For separating the glass from the digitizer you have to heat it up very often, pry it open and hold at several spots, to avoid breaking components. It s quite difficult but take it slowly.

So, if I crack my screen I need to get a screen replacement with frame or just screen replacement?
Screen replacement with frame

Screen Replacement
https://www.fixez.com/store/lg/lg-g5/lg-g5-display-assembly-lcd-and-digitizer
You can get without the frame, you will just need to heat up the glue between the frame and old screen to cut through the glue to remove the frame. They cover it on the instruction video on Fixez.
