I've a Sensation with a broken LCD but working digitizer. All the movies on Youtube shows tutorials where first the digitizer is removed. There's only one movie that goes further and after removing the digitizer they removed the LCD. Look this at 7:42. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO9MnQRa7xQ
I've also replaced a LCD of a HTC Desire, but there I can replace the LCD without removing the digitizer. That saved me a lot of time. Can anyone says this is also possible at the sensation or the de LCD only been removed from the front and not from the back.
The digitiser is physically adhered to the LCD screen so no, you will have to remove the digitiser before you can replace the screen.

Well I read somewhere on here that it's just held by 3M stickies. What do you make of that?

Yes, quite true - 30 seconds warming with a hair dryer and using a scalpel blade you can prise the digitiser carefully off the LCD screen.
The 3M tape makes it easy to replace the front glass but does allow dust to collect between the two layers.
anyone knows how to glue - paste the digitizer on the new LCD? I can't find 3M tape with the shape of a Sensation, only for different models. So I need to cut some parts, but that will follow in a lot of dust between the two parts after a few months.
Is there a way to occur this?

Hey there.
I just found this "Glass Lens" on eBay, which doesn't have the digitizer part.
(Cant link, cause im a new user)
Can anyone point me towards a guide that explains me how to change this glass without the digitizer part?

The Glass "is" the digitizer...
Unfortunately, i cant link yet. But some sellers on ebay has only the glass. Without those thin cables.
why would you want that? it would take a lot of time and effort to take the glass off of the digitizer to replace it and you would probably end up breaking the digitizer anyway... Just save the time and money and buy the full assembly.

that is incorrect.
The glass is the lens. there is a thin layer on the lens that is the digitizer.
you dont want this. uy either the glass lens/digitizer assembly or the one with the lcd included. you wont have a good time with transferring that layer
Hi All,
I've seen this question asked but haven't found a clear answer.
Could someone confirm whether or not the digitizer and the LCD are bonded together on the Sensation?
If so is it worth the risk to try and replace just a shattered screen and save some money or should I go ahead and buy a front assembly (digitizer+LCD) to be safe?
Thanks

Well that was fast, clear and concise! Thanks.
So when the hereunder item's description specifies "pre-bonded" (under 'package' or in the page title) it's basically bulls***?

I would say so, check YouTube, there are some videos quite clearly showing that they are not bonded together.
To save you searching, one of them is this:

Right, so it seems indeed. Although those videos never show you the result after putting it all back together.
I guess the only remaining advantage to buying the "pre-bonded" unit is to avoid having to fiddle with trying to have zero fingerprints and/or dust particles between the two when reassembling...?

I've had a Sensation apart to replace just the LCD piece. It was a huge pain in the butt to get the glass off the LCD. They are glued together with some pretty strong glue.
It's possible that the advertisement you cited just means they are already glued together when they say "pre-bonded".
fixed lcd
bought on ebay and replaced my LCD myself 2days ago. The LCD is bonded more strongly to the shell and the digitizer ontop of it meaning you have to separate them any way to change as the digitizer will comes of its self. They even have separate cables to the main board. The glue isnt that stong, slow careful lifting it with the plastic tool kept things undamaged, so i didnt use a heat gun as too mch risk of oveheating the still good digitizer. I love my screen now , dead pixels smack in the middle were driving me nuts!! now just to fix my wifi issues....
Right so they ARE bonded!
Problem is, my digitizer is really badly shattered. So badly that a couple tiny fragments have come off when swiping the screen, leaving the LCD exposed. So if they're indeed "glued" together, won't I be taking a risk trying to remove all those glass fragments from the LCD in hope of reusing it (the LCD, that is)?

So what you are saying is that even if I buy a new front assembly (LCD + digitizer) I will have to separate them anyway to put it back together?? That seems odd...
BTW, where did you buy your parts?

I meant that digitizer is glued to the lcd but more lightly than LCD to body. Therefore when disassembling the digitizer comes of on its own as the glue is not strong enough to pull the LCD from body together with it. They are not bonded together as strong as samsung phones. Only bonded with not so strong glue along a small strip on the edge of digitizer; the area with black coat underneath. Taking a look at the older LCD, actually there is this sticky tape that maybe separating the two, the tape sticks to the LCD wraps it around and the tape glued to the body underneath with the digitizer on top of the tape. just carefully remove the digitizer parts, not as bonded together as you may think. if your carefull you wont need to replace both.
Bought the LCD on ebay.

Thank you but this are all screen digitizer with LCD screen display replacements or the full assembly. What I'm looking for is the screen glass digitizer replacement only without the LCD screen display. Because my LCD screen display is still working.

replacing the digitizer is the same procedure + you'll have to separate the digitizer from the lcd (when the assy is removed) which is very difficult to do. The digitizer is glued in place and you'll probably end up with a broken lcd. I would suggest to replace the assy instead of just the digitizer. Yes, I know, the digitizer is only 20-40$ and the complete assy is 170-200$.
It worth a try but be mentally prepared to spend 200$ more just in case...
here is one example how you do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMXA8KyHaFE
then you'll need to clean the lcd from the glue using a glue remover and a blade, being careful not to damage the lcd
and finally apply liquid glue back to the lcd and install the new digitizer and reassemble the whole thing.

I've seen that many have bought the said replacement so I guess it is really possible. It is just not that easy. I've checked other forums and they as well are waiting for a proper video. But thank you for you this.
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.
Hi guys, yesterday I tried to split my broken glass from the lcd and I succeded with it. After this there was an uv loca gel left over the lcd and I used acetone to remove it.
But the problem is that also at the back of the LCD there was specific tape I think white scotch and black but unsure and she also fell off.
I tried to check if the display is still working and it's working. Just wondered about that tape or adhesive I don't know what is it and, is it so important to install a new one, before apply a new uv loca gel over the lcd.
The tape was between LCD and Copper, directly at the back of the lcd when used acetone it was sticky but removable, so I pull all of it, but display still works.
Thanks in advance,
Sorry for my bad English.
updates:
When I get the display from the frame, the copper left on the frame, perhaps biggest mistake?.
Maybe it could be the tape between the copper and LCD.
I just know that it's at the back side of the LCD without the copper.
