cracked screen?

I recently cracked my screen on my tp2 and was wondering if there was a way i could tell if it just the screen or the lcd under the glass.

you might want to consider replacing both the LCD and digitizer because they are stuck togeter with some kind of glue, I tried to just replace the digitizer and ended up pulling the whole front off the LCD screen its self. also ended up taring my LCD cable too so be careful

LCD replacement without removing digitizer

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?

HTC Glass without digitizer?

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

[Q] P6810 display separable from digitizer for repair purposes

I have a P6810. It has a broken display inside but the outside glass is good and the digitizer/touch screen still works. I mostly see offered entire assemblies consisting of display, digitizer and sometimes bezel for over $250. This is simply too expensive to repair a P6810. I would like to buy just the AMOLED w/o digitizer. Does anybody know of a source? Are display and digitizer able to be separated?

If you can figure out how to separate the amoled display from the digitizer/touch panel, I would be glad to buy the touch panel from you.. My 6810 still has a great amoled display, but has two cracks in the glass touch panel.
Thanks,

For other tablets, I see instructional videos on youtube where they use heat to unglue screen from digitizer. Seems tricky and I have not yet encountered any report of this working on a Galaxy Tab 7.7. That said, if you want to buy my P6810 for parts, please PM me. I've tested it with the multimedia dock using HDMI output, controlling it via the touch screen, so I know it is in working condition, except for the screen.

I sent my tab for repair lately at Samsung and they ordered the whole assembly [Digitizer+Bezel+AMOLED Display]. Because there is a portion in my screen that cannot pickup any touch input. They said they will install it with the whole assembly although the only problem is my digitizer. I think they sold it as a whole assembly and it will be risky if you separate the Digitizer from the AMOLED Display.

Thanks to those of you who replied to my earlier post. I'm just too insecure about trying to take my 6810 apart, so I guess I'll just wait until someone sells one without cracks in it. Darn!

@Fulaeetoy: How much did Samsung charge if you don't mind my asking?

Nothing. Warranty covers it all. I also requested a new backplate 2 months ago about my backplate getting scratch after they flashed a stock firmware in my tab. They replaced it without asking questions. I think the new backplate cost $60 and $250 for the new display assembly. :good::good: for their customer service!

Glass Replacement

Over the weekend I dropped my mix 2s and have cracked the bottom of my screen glass.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and fixed this. I have purchased a new glass on eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/263620735738?ViewItem=&item=263620735738
I am planning to take it to a professional repair shop.
Is it likely that they will be able to separate the glass from the LCD and glue on this replacement? Is there any risk of this going wrong and my screen from acting weird afterwards?

No, it is in fact very unlikely they'll be able to separate them.
It will be more expensive but you'll have to get an lcd display and glass assembly all together.

According to this: Ali Express
LCD Only: If the image under the glass is broken and the touch panel is NOT then you only need an LCD.
Touch Panel aka Digitizer: If the top touch panel or aka glass top is cracked or broken but the image under it is fine then you only need the Touch Panel.
Complete Screen with Touch Panel and LCD: If the top touch panel is broken and the LCD image is either black liquid or cracked you need a complete screen.

According to that; If the glass is cracked, I only need the Digitizer replaced.
I am happy to get the whole thing, its just I have already ordered a Digitizer and thought this was all I needed. I could be wrong.

Any recommendation on the type of screen I should purchase for best results?

Hi i managed to change my whole lce by myself. Its quite hard only for heating the glue and opening everything. There is no guide on internet so i just follow mi mix 2 guide. I bought from aliexpress, 60 euro, claimed to be original, checked its JDI from cti app, and very good quality, color also very good, nothing weird, glass also oleophobic.

Any update on this? I'm in the same situation, front glass is cracked but phone otherwise fine. Replacement is only $10, but can just the glass even be replaced?

I just bought the whole LCD/Digitizer for $60, not even going to attempt to separate just the glass

Hey emanuel.caesar,
thanks for your helpful post. A few further questions from my side:
which lcd did you choose exactly? Are you still satisfied with the quality? And the last question Does the video guide for the Mi Mix 2 work for the Mi Mix 2s as well or are many things different? Thank you in advance for a short reply.

Hello,
Is not a good idea to try to just replace de LCD screen. I did this operation many times in the past and I can confirm that's a long operation (~1h30), there's a lot of risks that you break the digitizer and for a good result, you need LCD glue and a UV machine.
So, I think it's a better idea to replace all the screen: LCD + Digitizer.

Any suggested YouTube videos to replace the glass + LCD + digitizer?
Looking at a used phone with broken glass. It's like $10 for glass or $32 for the whole set and if I recall last time I had glass swapped it was like $60 labor and no guarantee the LCD wouldn't break. I'm pretty technical have repaired plenty of phones Android and iPhone. Anyone have a good link for removing the LCD / digitizer / glass unit? Is this like the Samsung where you need to use a blow dryer to heat the adhesive to get it off? Or like an iPhone where you just take screws out and pry the panel out? Much appreciated
