Hi,
I recently dropped my i9023 and smashed the glass.
Bought a new screen with digitizer from global direct parts (www globaldirectparts com/Samsung-GT-I9023-LCD-and-Digitizer-Assembly-p/smsng6102150.htm)
Having put the new screen in it boots up fine and displays perfectly but the touch screen is not working at all and I can't do anything. If I put my smashed screen back in touch input works fine.
I've flashed back to stock I9023XXKB3 and I9023XXKB1 firmware, but nothing seems to help.
The ribbon to the screen doesn't appear to be damaged and because global direct parts had a minimum purchase of 2 I have 2 new ones and they are both unresponsive.
Anyone have any ideas?
My first idea would be to have the manufacturer fix it.
Sorry you are having trouble getting the touch screen to respond. I too have cracked my screen and would be very interested in your strip down and replacement steps as I am going to be doing the same. If you get time, could you write down your steps. There is a pretty good teardown at
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-S-Teardown/4365/1
but I am not confident of the last bit of using a heat gun to separate the screen from the frame. Did yours come off easy ?
Yes I could have sent it to an authorized repairer but I would of been without the phone for a a while and it would cost twice as much. Plus I like pulling things apart.
markread544 - I pretty much followed the ifixit guide. however when pulling out the motherboard make sure the front and rear cameras and speaker are loose as well otherwise it wont come out.
I didn't use a heat gun, I just applied pressure until it started to lift, it would of definitely been easier if it had been warmed up but I didn't want to use a heat gun either. You would want to use an adjustable heat one on low if you did, I think a hair dryer would work as well.
I pulled mine a bit further apart then they did, the grey part in the attached pic comes off as well which makes it easier to get the screen out of the front bezel which it is also glued to.
Phone is back together at the moment with the cracked screen but I'll take some photos if I pull it apart again.
same problem here.
i bought an lcd on ebay for i9023 (slcd)
display OK , but no tactil response.
i had MP the OP but still no answer.
if you have any suggestion
thanks
how much for the screen? seems that 9023 is cheaper than 9020
80 euros for the less expensive , about 120-150 for the others
I ended up returning the screens from global direct parts and after about a month they gave me a refund.
After being quoted AU $250to get the screen replaced by an authorized repairer I decided to try again and bought a replacement screen on eBay from a seller called stream_beautiful for $86.
Got it today, installed and it works perfectly. No idea why the original screens from global direct didn't work.
I'm sorry to bump such an old thread, but I was wondering if there was any more information on this issue... I ordered an i9023 screen to repair a friend's phone about 2 months ago and had the same issue as the OP with it; touch input didn't work. I then contacted the seller (forceviewer on aliexpress) and he told me he'd replace it. After sending it back I then had to contact him again and send him pictures of the back of the old screen (with which touch input still works) because according to him there are 2 versions. Now I received the second screen a week ago and lo and behold, it exhibited the same problems. I noticed a number on the back of the screen is different, and the atmel IC (which I assume handles the digitizer input) has a different number on it too, however the seller has now adopted the position that it is definitely the correct display (quote: "If the pictures is right
The item will be right
I just send you the one same with your picturs
There are only two version.
Thanks")
Can anyone shed some light on what causes this? I know the guy's company tests their displays before sending them out, so that's probably not the problem, and receiving 2 faulty units in a row would be a bit weird, so I guess there's actually multiple versions (with a different digitizer controller IC?) which aren't compatible with each other... How do I make sure I'm getting the right one for my friend's phone? And, optionally, how would I go about convincing the seller to take this one back too and send me one that really works?
I'm having exactly the same issue...two replacement screens and touch input non responsive, re-install original and hey presto no problem...what I have noticed is that the part number on what I assume is the digitizer is different...
original -> KJ00423-101228-P00-7F-1
replacement -> KJ00423-101228-P00-5F-1
Yeah, my replacement says 6F-1 at the end, I can't check the original right now because my friend has his phone, but I'm willing to bet it doesn't say the same. Maybe I can make my case with this with the vendor, I'd really hate to have to buy another one of these displays for nothing
Guys,
It's the third SLCD screen that one of my fried is replacing to my I9023 Nexus S, and none of them is working. Yesterday he told me that when he bough the third one, the seller told him to "reprogram" the phone, because the drivers for new SLCD will be installed only then.
To be honest I didn't quite understood him, so, I though that the seller means to flash with a ROM. I did that, I installed CyanogenMod 9, everything went fine, but the touch still not working .
Does anyone knows how the phone could be completely wiped. Meaning everything what is in it to be reinstalled from the beginning....
I don't know what else to do, besides to buy a new phone
Hi All,
Just want to ask if anyone came to the solution yet ...?
Cheers,
no touch
Hello
i have the same problem:
1. The display works
2. But no touch reaction
i had bought a new screen for my I 9023 .
thanks for solutions
Yep, I have the same problem.
Original: KJ00423-101216-P00-1F-1
Replacement: (Not responding to touch): KJ00423-110207-P00-1F1
eBay Seller: mike410512
Bump - anyone sort this issue out?
I know this is an old thread, but since I have a shattered SLCD screen and i'm willing to replace it, i'd like to know what to do in case there's no touch response...
To get touch input again
Hi all,
I have smashed my phone screen twice on my S3 i9300. The first time I had the issue with the touch screen not detecting input but displaying correctly, I had taken it to an authorised repair centre and initially they did not know what was wrong.
There is only one way to "fix" this situation. You must remove the custom recovery and then reflash your phone with the stock samsung rom. Flashing the stock rom with stock recovery should pose no problem as it will be "official" and thus not blocked by stock recovery.
After reflashing, you must do a factory wipe + data reset. This is where you change your screen, making sure not to boot the phone for "the first time". If it does not work, repeat the reflash + factory wipe and try again.
The samsung rom will register the new hardware profile, and touch input will work. Why it works this way is beyond me, but taking these steps when changing the screen on a custom rom will ensure that the touch input works. Perhaps custom roms "borrow" drivers left over from stock rom? I don't know.
You can back up your current rom and restore after messing around with the samsung stock rom and you have gotten your touch screen working properly.
I have tried a whole heap of different "solutions" with this problem and this is the only one that works, and if you are taking it to a repair centre, make them aware that you have a custom rom installed.

i'm going to buy a screen + digitizer and i would have some advice about this, what code should i look ??? there are only two kind of screen or more ? what should i ask to the seller ???
Alright so I know that there has been some discussion on this POS model of a phone, but I would love to know before I get the digitizer replaced, if it's a bug or something else.
I guess it started about 8-10 months ago, my brother bought the phone from Mobilicity here in Canada and he let his friend borrow the phone for a call. She dropped it on the cement and the glass cracked. The LCD itself is functioning, but when I got it I had to wipe the device through the recovery menu using Power-X then ALT-L. Anywho every month or so since I got it a few months back for free and long story short it's been glitching out constantly.
Now finally the screen barely works and until I got the "smart" idea to recover it again thinking it would fix but the screen only reads the bottom right side and nothing else. Oh and I'm stuck on that stupid Touch Android to Begin screen. So I'm pretty much SOL'd. Basically my question is this; is it the digitizer, corrupted FW, the phone is just shot or all of the above?
If it's repairable could someone please tell me how to enable usb debugging without the touchscreen or in the very least bypass this Android screen with the keyboard, PC or both? I used Droid Explorer a couple days ago to even control the screen with ScreenCast?
I know of ADB, Input Events, and stuff like that but I really can't figure out what to do. I thought about Clockwork but because the phone has a locked bootloader, I wasn't sure I could even install. Hell I even consider using my other phone to do a NANDROID backup but even that won't work.
So in short what the hell do I do?
Hello, posting here to report that I attempted to repair my HTC sensation, though I didn't really break anything and taking it apart when kinda smoothly I ended up putting the phone back together somewhat was more difficult than I thought it would be. Question here is that the phone turns on but the LCD isn't working still. I had to replace both LCD and digitizer...it vibrates to turn on but nothing could it be that I may have not secured a cable tight enough?
I have an HTC Sensation that has a digitizer that is not working at all, and I think someone has probably attempted a digitizer replacement on it. I say probably because I haven't taken the phone apart to check yet, but the tamper sticker has been punctured and the screen's condition is pristine (no visible cause for it not working) so it is likely. What I am thinking is that the previous owner of this phone tried to replace the digitizer, but purchased the wrong model/brand digitizer and decided to call it quits when it didn't work.
The phone is stock, s-on. Debugging is not enabled. It does not register any touch anywhere on the digitizer.
I am trying to get the phone to the point where I can use the flash PG58DIAG.nbh method on it, which would probably resolve the problem.
My question is if anyone knows a way to get the phone from stock to s-off & super CID but without the use of the phone's touchscreen? Keep in mind that the problem is that USB debugging on this thing is off, so I really just need a way to turn that f***er on without using the touchscreen. Once I get that, everything else is relatively simple.
Worst case is that I have to buy another digitizer and replace it, but I was hoping to repair this phone without having to do that. Additionally, I'd have to guess at which digitizer model/brand to buy, since I don't have the original digitizer to verify which brand/model I need.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Hi,
I have Nexus 5 and was running good with Marshmellow and suddenly one day the screen started scrolling up. Restart or factory reset did not help. While starting the boot logo was also corrupted and I use to get is display with random pixels lit with different colors, mostly white and red. So have tried different bootloaders and even downgrading to 4.4.4 but the issue is still there.
Called up Google and LG as well. Since device is not under warranty now, it is going to cost for repair. So would like to know if there is any solution to this problem before I try the repair or give on this device.
Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you,
Sandeep.
Was the phone ever dropped? It's possible that there is a loose connection inside the phone. I suggest removing the back and inspecting the phone's internal components and connections.
If everything appears fine, it could be A problem with the lcd of motherboard, neither of which is cheap to repair. I suggest trying to find a used nexus 5, either with a smashed screen and working internal components or one with a working screen and damaged internals to troubleshoot your own phone.

I do not recollect dropping it. I would wait to see if any better option comes up. And will keep an eye for an broken Nexus to see if I can get the motherboard swapped. Thanks for ideas though.
