I recently dropped my TF300 (in the process of jerry-rigging a carrying case for it, might I add) and it happened to shatter the glass and tear some of the ribbon for the digitizer, rendering it completely useless. The LCD beneath is fine, in fact I have already separated the LCD from the digitizer itself.
My question is:
Can I buy a replacement digitizer for the TF200 and install it to my TF300?
They seem to be the same ribbons and i'm sure the dimensions are the same.
The problem is the digitizer for the TF300 is around $150 and just $50 for the TF200.
Dude word of advice only buy the tf300 glass. But replacing it will be a pain but good luck to you

Almost sure,,
Hello hello,
i recently smashed up the same digitizer of my tf300t. There are no videos about opening the thing, so i proceeded and could unplugged the digitizer without any complication. So, after long searching i found ur question and realize that the connector is just the same. I'm almost sure that tf200 should work properly with tf300.
best regards,
Abrhm
Not the same
I'm sure you have probably figured this out by now, since it's been months, but the TF200 and the TF300 digitizers are indeed DIFFERENT.. And the TF300 can be procured pretty easily these days for about $70.00..
So, this is for the benefit of anyone else who happens to stumble across this post.
Also, heed, there has been a significantly high rate of folks, myself included, who have changed the digitizer out only to find that the touch-screen still doesn't work due to some other issue..

Hi
i bought this used g2x and when i got it and powered on there are lines going across the screen is this a Digitizer issue or a screen issue so i can replace accordingly.
i took pictures of it if it helps.
the screen responds to finger tap so i guess digi is ok.....
Thanks in advance for your help.
I would deffinately have demanded my money back. Well, its going to be the lcd screen. there's good and bad news here. Good: will be far easier to replace than the digitizer. Bad: from experience, the LCD costs more. I think for my last phone, the LCD was slightly twice the cost of the digitizer.
The reason its your screen though is because the digitizer is only conductive glass. It doesn't produce any light in which you would get those lines.

If you bought it through ebay and the faulty lcd wasn't described as a problem, you need to file a report so you can get a refund and prevent it from happening to others.

It is possible that if the seller repaired the LCD that the ribbon cable connecting the display to the logic board shifted and came loose during transit.
Contact the seller before you do ANYTHING... first try to get him to replace/refund, if they won't, find out if they replaced the screen or digitizer themselves. If yes, you may be looking at simply reattaching a cable.
As the title states I have a cracked digitizer. Do not think the LCD is damaged as the display works fine and there are no signs of bleeding. I have gone through here and read several threads about replacing the digitizer/screen and have also contacted HTC about repairs. Buying a digitizer myself will only cost about $30-40. However; I have read threads on differences in the digitizers as well as when self-replacing there is a HIGH probability of dust, fingerprints and response being not up to par. Now to just send it in would be somewhere around $160 and I would know it is perfect. What are your guys' thoughts? And if you have done the repair yourself please let me know how it was.
I replaced an LCD and digitizer on mine and it wasn't too bad. I also own an HTC HD2, that phone was hell to replace the digitizer, I failed and sold it all in pieces. This phone however, was much easier, and I left NO specs of dust under the screen. Just make sure to replace it after a hot shower, and use a duster. On a random note, I bought another hd2 that had a new digitizer replaced on Craigslist, it has dust under it that I didn't notice -_-. Don't forget to check!
Yeah. I was thinking about just doing it myself. Only thing is the thing with the different digitizers. Supposedly it makes the screen laggy or even unresponsive if you have the wrong one. That's what I have read. Not really too sure though...
Try this post, replacement digitizer and instruction video.
Sweet. I will definitely check it out. At the moment I am fiddling around with my new SGS2 so the Sensation is taking a nap

Huh HD2... Yes I had same trouble... Mine was refurbished when I bought it and guess what? It was fu****g super glued together! I spent 2 hours just to open it.
Later on, I thought only digitizer was cracked but when I removed it (1,5 hours) I found out that LCD is damaged too (on the edges). Just to be sure, I ordered touch+LCD already assembled (dust free of course) and I`m waiting for it now...
I also got me a newSensation XE which is definitly A LOT easier to dissasemble...
Try it yourself, you can always send it back to offical repair centre...
Could you link me to where you got your assembly? It may be easier and more beneficial for me to just get the complete kit and call it a day.

A few weeks ago, an unfortunate accident let to my Asus TF300T's screen being broken. While bad, what's worse is the digitizer broke as well, and it no longer receives touch input. After scouring the internet for a replacement, I have learned that there are a couple versions of the display, and they are incompatible with each other. But the problem is, the flex cable on my tablet does not indicate which version it is.
Attached is a picture of the flex cable. There is no text on the back of it. Is there something I am missing? Could someone point me in the right direction as to which version I need to fix it? Many thanks!

Where did you get the information that there are different versions of the touchscreen that are not compatible with the tablet? Whatever the case, it shouldn't matter (GO1 or GO3) since you need either one to work with your TS board, not with each other. Search around to determine if it's just the screen that's bad; look at this THREAD for example. There is a thread somewhere claiming that different firmwares are required for different screens, but that's not to say that any of them is incompatible with your TS board (provided it's still working) since you can flash various firmwares for various screens to the same TS board.
I have read through the linked thread and one member states that the panel with "5158N FPC-1" on the flex cable is indeed the G03 version. It doesn't look like many people carry this version, but I will look around and report my results to this thread in a few weeks time. (or days, if I can find a seller in the US)

Ebay has quite a few US sellers of this thing for around 70 bucks. If you're not sure, I know a repair technician here who ordered a GO1 screen for a customer who never showed up. It's tested and he'd let it go for 55-60, but the difficulty is in the replacing. It's delicate work (I've done it myself so I know), and the TS board is known to be finicky and can quit altogether if not handled properly. If you're not confident of your skills, you should leave it to someone who knows what they're doing.
The biggest problem while trying to replace the screen is trying to separate the Digitizer from the LCD (if the LCD still works) There is some really sticky tape that bonds the two together and if you aren't super careful, you will break the LCD (like I did LOL). I ended up having to get a new Digitizer AND LCD and got them at different times. When it was all said and done, I blew close to $150 since I bought them both separately. If you can find both LCD and digitizer as a set for less than $100 I would buy that rather than just getting the Digitizer for $30 less and risk breaking the LCD in the process.
That's just my 2 cents.

I have already separated the LCD and digitizer successfully. (well, almost successfully. the knife I used to separate the tape slipped and I gashed my finger pretty bad. But the important part came out completely fine...not even a fingerprint!
You say you can get the digitizer for 30 bucks? The lowest Ive seen them on Ebay for is about 70 dollars.

I'm not sure why you cared to separate the two since both were mentioned broken in your first post. The only thing you need is the plastic bezel glued to the digitizer.

I saved the LCD display, since it works perfectly fine. The digitizer/glass on the other hand, which was already broken, was hopelessly shattered in the process. That is the part that needs replacing.
The plastic bezel/screen is the same as the digitizer. It's all one piece. Nah cheapest digitizer is around 70 but some places i think sold both for $100 ish.

Despite what hardslog says, I must caution you again that the bezel and digitizer are two separate parts bonded together by a double-sided strip. A new digitizer doesn't come with the bezel. If you throw it away now, the back cover will not cover the whole tab at the front later on. Now if hardslog can vouch for an lcd/Touchscreen combo for around 100, you should ask him for referrals. He'd be doing a great service to other members as well since quite a few have looked hard for that item and couldn't find it anywhere to buy.
We might be a little confused with each other on the terminology being used. If by bezel you mean the very outer part of the screen (the 1/3cm or so black border thing around it, as in NOT the black part that says "ASUS" on it) then yes that is a separate piece. I thought people were referring to the digitizer and the clear screen (as in the part that you touch) as being the same thing. Does that make sense?
Sorry it seems prices have gone up even more since I replaced my screen (4-5 months ago). Don't listen to me when I said $100.
There was this place - dunno how reliable they are. But they are out of stock anyway https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/ASUS/EEE~PAD~TRANSFORMER~TF300-B1-BL~TABLET/ Still $130 when it was in stock
Dear All,
I was having a very wonderful time with my desire S untill recently when something went bad with my saga that the right edge of the touchscreen did not respond. After a few days, the left edge stopped responding as well.
I searched XDA and googled for the problem and I came to know that replacing digitizer helps. My LCD is very much fine and I'm hopeful replacing just the digitizer will help. I've ordered one from Amazon and I'll be performing the replacement myself, referring youtube videos.
Could anyone please share their experience on replacement of digitizer or problems similar to me?
Thanks.
I did that a while ago... Though i had a cracked digitizer instead od an unresponsive one... You should be fine with the video guides. Some of the parts (like the camera cover) will put some resistance though. You'll also need to be careful with the screen as it is glued to the frame. If you will, you should be able to reuse it and watch out for the cable

It's a fairly easy procedure and I have done it on a couple of DSs before.
Just do yourself a favour - take it slowly and follow the instructions closely. Especially when it comes to heating the old tape to separate the digitiser and the LCD - if you try to force it off at all you run a very real risk of cracking the LCD as it's a fragile bit of kit.
Hey all,
Client brought in a TF300T with a cracked digitizer, good LCD, but no touch response. Changed digitizer, everything works but touch. Original digitizer has no "G0_" number on it, but replacement is a G01.
Because the digitizer wasn't working in the first place, would this be a bad digitizer PCB? I've been searching forums for the past hour but haven't found any fixes for this particular scenario. Attached are images of the digitizers.
Thanks!
