I have replaced several screens on Touch Diamonds, however the LCD matrix appears to actually be stuck onto the digitiser and the LCD itself is very very fragile. I usually replace the whole unit (LCD screen and digitiser) because it is much easier. You can purchase these from various sellers in Hong Kong on Ebay.

I have allready bought a touch screen but not the lcd screen!!! Do u have a guide or something that shows how to change it???

My recommendation would be to re-sell the touch screen and buy yourself a complete LCD & digitiser module. It is much much easier to do. In terms of taking the phone apart, it is fairly straight forward. Be careful with the small co-axial cables inside though, because they are easily damaged and difficult to obtain without replacing the antenna board. Re-connecting the ribbon cables can also be a bit fiddly.
The LCD and digitiser are glued into the front of the phone. You will need to disassemble the phone and then very carefully using a plastic flat blade, ease the LCD out of the front of the phone housing. It will come out with a little bit of care. There should be enough glue remaining in the housing to re-seat the replacement unit and hold it in place.
If you google you should be able to find the HTC Diamond service manual which tells you how to take the phone apart and re-assemble it. I have a copy, so if you can't track it down, PM and I will e-mail it to you.

Hi,
To barncourt, how is the build quality of those honk kong made screens?

also a lot of the screen+digitizer that i have seen on ebay all have the front facing camera. would it be possible to use that screen even though my diamond is the one that has no front facing camera?

Of course, it is just a hole

Okay, but I tend to buy from the same seller. Not had any particular problems.

Hi I wanna know can you share your supplier adress with us ?
I'm looking for a LCD+digitizer and what I see is not something giving confidence...
So if you can give us some real-tested place to start...
Also I've dismantle the phone but it's quite hard to take the screen+digitizer away...
it's seems completely fixed with the housing does some one got s pics or guide on how to dismantle and replace the screen
(The HTC service guide you can see here and there just don't deal with the screen.)
and when I started just broke my screen (which was already broken anyway so...)

http://www.fuelip.com/howto/diamondlcd/diamondlcd.htm

I followed that guide and replaced my screen. I have one last problem though - I can't fit back my power button. It's made of two parts the black plastic cover and the transparent rubber. How do you stick them together? I'ts funny that I took my whole diamond apart with all the cables and boards and now I can not figure out how to fix a silly button

Dust under the screen issue,wrong to return to bestbuy?

I bought the asus tf101-1a on black friday. I noticed dust was settling in on the bottom on the screen and returned it and had to go thru hell just to get them to exchange for a tf101-a1. Now after 2 hours of having it,big build up of dust on the bottom right and a dead pixel and i just opened it up!! Am i wrong to go back to bestbuy and explain my case and get yet another replacement?

We've all heard the old saying "The customer is always right." Sadly, that's not always the case. I agree you deserve a unit you are satified with, no doubt. But consider the possibly the "perfect" tab doesn't exist? Not saying you should not pursue a return, mind you but I recall a few months back when Some people were complaining of light bleed. How did they see the light bleed? Went into a room completely dark, turned down their screens then looked. Now, how many users actually DO this in normal use? I guess I'm saying only you can decide what is "acceptable" or "not acceptable". Also, keep in mind BB has a "Frequent Return Policy" where they track and ban returns from chronic return-ers. Just sayin'
IMO the dead pixel would be more an issue than dust but then I can't see what you see!
Good luck!

Well i just opened the tf and the dead pixel was right there. Ive nver returned anything from there,it looks like black dots on the screen where the dust is. The purpose of a tablet is the size and resolution and difference from a android phone. I love the tablet,but nowhere do i read others having this issue. Wether i paid $249 or $399, i feel i deserve to have a tablet experience without the non sense. Thanks for your advice

Of course return it. If it is a dead pixel...Asus QA is doing something wrong. The fact that you have dust could lead to more dust. Once the warranty is over, you'll have to pay out of your pocket to fix it, if there is such a problem.

Yes there is,i exchanged the product and got home at 930ish and opened it up and immeditately i saw it. Then i turned it on and bam a dead pixels. One dead pixel without use of the tablet means fauty lcd and heavy dust only means more dust as u said (htc sensation days). Hell as i type the power button is rattling.

Did you get the 250 transformer?

Dust under the glass is extremely irritating! Luckily, its super simple for us to clean the back side of the glass as the Transformer has two extremely accessible hex screws near the charging port. Remove them, and you can easily take the glass out and clean it (or just blow air through it and seal back up)
I made it about 6 months before I started to notice the dust behind the glass... the rear camera however gets obscured by dust relatively quickly and requires me to take the cover off and clean the backside of the camera lens about once a month.
So, the dust is a simple fix. The dead pixel however, that sucks. I'd return it for that, or have Asus warranty it at this point since Best Buy is probably fresh out of stock..
hopefully you get it sorted out. The Transformer is a great device! I love mine!

Its the tf101-a1 model and i didnt know its simple to disassemble,thank u. But what are the odds of geting a worse case of dust by doing this procedure?

Teardown link
basically removing the screws by the connector will allow you to remove the bezel, which will expose the inside. Should be pretty easy from there I think. Just use compressed air

Does opening the transformer up void its warranty?
Cause I wouldn't want to void it over a speck of dust really.

I know this is an older thread, but I just noticed an annoying dust buildup in my TF101, just under the glass (middle part of the screen...) and wondered if I could clean it myself. A Google search provided several links to help crack the tablet open, but none mentioned how to actually remove the glass from the screen. How exactly can this be done, without nuking the digitizer? Any insights would be welcome, thanks.

Remove eee pad touch screen

Hello,
I recently bought an eee pad with a broken touch screen (it has a crack in it) for dirt cheap but the normal screen itself is fine. I wanted to use the eee pad as a photo frame. I wanted to permanently remove the touch screen so you can actually see the screen. Is their an easy way to do this or do all of the other components "rest" on the touch screen?
Thanks

Google is our friend.
Doesn't appear to be glued to the LCD just the mounting bracket.

Seems like having a tablet like that just for a photo frame is overkill have you looked into just replacing the digitizer? They're about $50 on ebay.

I would go for it, if you do it would be cool if you post some pics, my tab is an out of warranty refurb I might have to replace something someday as well.

[Q] How to tighten the keyboard dock?

Hi all,
I have been using my tf700 with the dock for more than a year now. I realize recently over time the connection between the dock and the tablet becomes rather loose and the tablet wobbles quite a bit back and forth (luckily everything is working properly). Since my tablet is out of warranty, I am thinking about fixing this myself, if possible. I know the issue of the dock becoming loose is quite common, but I have yet to see a DYI solution. Is this something I can fix myself?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Check if the screws under the 2 feet next to the hinge have come loose?

On youtube I found this video describing the tear down of the dock.
Rats, I can't post a link yet. Well, search for 'Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime Dock Tear Down'
In the comments somebody is describing how to take the hinge apart.
The screws that you can see in the hinge (not the ones under the foam strip) might be worth tinkering with. The outer two seem to be sticking out a bit in my case. In fact they scrape my tablet a bit (two silver scratches just 2 cm outside the slots where the dock connects with the tablet). It might be that they could do with some tightening. Or perhaps by loosening them a bit more the fit gets more tight. I don't know, but worth trying, I think.

I just did it myself with the help from the instructions HERE. 4 possibilities: (1) The screws holding the metal frame of the clamp to the bottom (inside); (2) the screws on the outside of the bottom that sdbags mentioned; (3) the screws along the rails inside the clamp (there are 4 on the bottom underneath the 2 plastic strips); (4) the 2 nuts at both ends of the metal frame of the clamp. I just re-tightened them all. No big deal, just be gentle with the plastic tab holding the keyboard and the bottom together. Have fun.

Asus transformer TF300 Problem after screen replacment

Hi
I just replaced my screen at my Asus transformer 300 due to broken one, I have replaced 2 screen and at both of them I see a wired phenomena that the screen looks like it have an internal scratches\crack, it happened at both new screens which cause me to think that the problem is not the screen it self.
If some one had that issue or familiar with that, I will be happy to get any idea/help to provide that solution.
P.S I attached a pictures of the new screens after installation and turn on the device.
Appreciate any help.

What did You actually replaced? Was it touch screen (front glass) or display (panel underneath the front glass)? It looks like Your display is broken.

I replaced the front glass only, per your comment, this is the touch screen, what is the display you mean?

Here is how it looks like: front, rear. There is also option to get both as one piece.

Thanks for your fruitful answer, I replaced only the screen that connect to the front side of the display, I will try to replace it, once again, appreciate your effort.

I also should clarify that display is vulnerable to heat and pressure. So be careful with new one. Good luck.
