How to Figure out if touchscreen or LCD or both are broken?

Hello Friends,
yesterday when i saw the screen of my xda exec i saw a big black spot on the centre of the screen, not sure how it happened. i can still make calls from the phone.
but now i want to figure out whether i'll need to replace touchscreen or the LCD or both but i dont know how to figure out which one is broken.
Any help will be really appreciated on this.

Chances are
if the touch capability is intact, it's your LCD. The opposite, where the screen looks fine, but the touch is gone, would be your digitizer. However, unless you know how to replace a digitizer, I recommend getting both, LCD and a digitizer in one unit, rather than attempt to assemble the screen yourself. Which, judging by your question, is likely to be the case.

I would only iterate what enigma1nz had to say . It's at least your LCD at fault, but buy both as one unit. Or, buy a Uni that guarantees a working LCD+Touch pad (ie, a Uni with only a broken broken mobo/usb/doesn't boot etc) from eBay or the like.
First of all, I would just take the screen part of the Uni apart and check all is tight when replacing, as if the LCD has no obvious cracks, it's very likely a rubber-strip contact or similar.
NB. If anyone is interested in purchasing a fully-working Uni (brand new casing), with a non-functional touch/digitizer (guaranteed working everything else incl. LCD), I'm about to put on eBay. (PM me)

Sad Storry about my HD2

I recently had my htc hd2 fall in water, i tried the rice tricks to dry it, though this helped a lot i am stuck with a phone with no backlight.
I can see everything if i look at the phone at an angle, everything else works, camera, flash led, charging led, calling etc.
i have no money to buy an lcd+digitizer or mainboard, so please if anyone has a bricked or dead htc hd2 that they are not using can you help me out with the parts.
in exchange for this, i can help with anything related to internet marketing, SEO, website developement, content, original articles, etc

I have a LCD + digitizer of HD2 , but the digitizer does not work.... only LCD
so U may have to seperate it and fix the NEW LCD with your OLD digitizer + this is T MOBILE HD2

He said that he hasn't got money for repair.
Suggestion: I'd try opening LCD. Meaning, open phone, take LCD. You should be able to lift screen from the frame. Inside, there could be water, check for LEDs at one edge of the screen and see if there is some water/corrosion.
Also, you should be able to disassemble LCD, it consists of multiple layers and there could be some water. Just be careful and don't mix up layers and you should be fine.

thanks everyone
i will like to thank everyone who has been so kind to offer help. I really appreciate all the help.
Thanks Mally2 for the offer of lcd, please pm me so that i can help with anything relaed to internet markerting, seo or anything.
please thanks and god bless you.

hi everyone, i took apart the htc hd2 to get an idea how severe was the damage done by water, on close inspection i see that the lcd flexi that connects to the mainboard has one pin burn out, and the connector on the mainboard looks black.i washed both the flexi and the connector with acohol to get the discoloration out but the screen is still black, that is , no backlight. i don't know how bad this is, so i am hoping that someone can help me with the parts.
Mally2, i don't know if you have any info about the shipping costs from India to South Africa, please let me know, and everyone who might also have a board that i can get a connector please help me out.

Hi I will be shipping out today.. sorry for the delay, I was held up with other work..
No worries of the shipping cost , i'll look into it.

need a lcd, touch pro 2 fit the 7 pro?

Hi, i am in desperate need of a lcd display for a 7 pro but they are seriously hard to get hold of!
I have looked on ebay and theres only ones from HK or China and even then the sellers feedback on screens is poor!
I have phoned countless repair shops in the uk and only a couple claim to be able to get hold of the screen but then demand that they fix the phone themselves and a stupid fee and will not supply the screen to me.
one thing i have noticed it that the touch pro 2 and 7 pro screens look identical apart from the colour of the ribbon that connects them to the main cable that goes through the slide body.
there is no visual difference between the screens or connector cables other thab colour and they have the same specs also-
480 x 800 pixels, 3.6 inches and a 259 ppi pixel density
Does anyone know if they are actually interchangeable or not? i cant find a screen anywhere and my wife is not pleased with me right now as ive only just got the phone and a broke the lcd trying to remove the digitizer even though i was ultra carefull and used lots of heat, please can someone help!!!!
Thanks, Steve.

Hello! To most simply answer your question, no. The screens are very different despite looking similar. The old TP2 screen is not multitouch and WP7 requires this. Also, the old screen utilizes a stylus while the newer 7 pro screen doesn't even recognize that type of touch.
It is your phone after all, so if you would like to try this that's your choice. However its too much effort to affix the ribbon to the pcb to even make it worth it. My old TP2 has a cracked digitizer which I have a replacement for, but the ribbon is machine pressed onto the pcb and reattaching this connection would be very difficult without the type of heat/pressure used in the manufacturing of the phone.
If you decide to try it let us know the results!

I'm sorry, I just seen you said the lcd itself, I thought you were meaning the digitizer screens.
That being said, maybe the swap will work, as long as they hook up the same?

i found a seller with genuine touch pro 2 screens who is willing to take it back if it does not work for me, i will let everyone know if it works!

I can confirm, the touch pro 2 screen does NOT work in the 7 pro, it is almost identical but the conector is at most 1mm wider than the 7 pro but its enough to stop if fitting into the socket
Back to the drawing board for me i guess.

not sure if you still need an LCD, or maybe you got a new phone by now. I found this if your still interested in getting it up and going again.

not been on for a few days, thankyou for the link its still there and in europe!
I bought another 7 pro handset as i could not wait any longer, i had been forced back to my old Touch pro (raphael) and although not a bad phone and running a custom 6.5.3 rom , it just cant cope on the web anymore as all the standards have changed and nobody is supporting windows mobile anymore.
Its a shame cos windows mobile is by far a better operating system than windows phone, updated and running on better hardware it would have rocked.
even though i bought a new handset ive always intended on fixing the other one when i get the chance and have put a bid on that screen to remove the buy it now.
Fingers crossed that it dont go up in price, my wife will kill me if spend much more on these phones lol
once its fixed its going to go in its box and live in a safe place till ive worn out this new one, dont think i wll sell it, thanks for your help, you get a thanks meter point for this :good:
Steve.

You are welcome I was a little worried you might not get to the link fast enough but thankfully you did! I seen that and figured its a steal considering the lcd is nearly that price alone, plus all the work needed to change it. Good luck I hope you win it

Thanks geeze

as long as you get the right screen, theres no reason why you cant do it yourself, just go slow, very slow, read tutorials and be very carefull of all cables and boards inside. if it its the glass digitizer that is broken and not the whole display, be very very carefull when removing it from the lcd as theres a big chance of breaking the lcd as its removed, heat to relax the glue is your friend! if the glass is shatterd, removing the glass bit by bit instead of trying to remove it all at once may proove easyer and less risky on the lcd.
Good luck, steve.

Look at this auction: http://www.ebay.pl/itm/HTC-7-pro-Arrive-T7576-LCD-Display-/141028832234?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20d5f933ea&_uhb=1 this is display for 7 Pro.

[Q] Moto G 4G/LTE XT 1039 replacement screen

Hy Guys,
I've broken my Moto G 4G front glass. It is still fully working but I want to change the screen.
My problem is that all the replacement parts I've found are marked as compatible with XT 1032/1033/.... but none is mentioning 1039.
Does anyone knows if the screens are the same? Or there is any difference with the connectors?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Thanks for your reply. I've asked before but the guy took sometime to reply. Apparently it's not, according to him.
This seems a little strange IMHO, but I'll trust is answer.
I've found another seller with a replacement for 4G and ordered it.
Thanks again.

On eBay. Here is the link to the one I've bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LCD-Dis...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20e861f8ff
The same seller also has another one without the frame (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LCD-Dis...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item1c420c93d0) but the price difference is small and the one with the frame is easier to use.
I should receive mine today and I'll let you know my impressions after replacing the screen,

Replaced! And working!
Screen replacement done. Extremelly easy to do it and it is fully working. Screen quality is the same as the original.

I ordered a 1032/1033 screen & lcd via ebay and it fits the XT1039 perfectly - there's no difference whatsoever with the cabling.
its quite an easy job to do though even though the lcd on my moto g 4g wasnt damaged, i bought the glass & lcd already fitted together as it makes the job so much easier.

thanks for all the information it was very beneficial.
i have the exact same phone but u just want to replace the glass, will XT1036 etc. fit on my old LCD screen.

It will fit, but replacing only the glass is a much trickier task. There are some guys showing the process on youtube but you will see that it is not easy.The problem is that the glass is attached to the LCD with a strong glue and removing it without damaging the LCD is almost impossible.
I would not advice to do it yourself.

Just had a look at video tutorial for replacing glass and screen, its good to know that if i ever damage my screen it is quite an easy fix and pretty damn cheap

The site is unavailable from here (Europe/France). I found another one selling xt1032 (which someone in a post said is compatible) in USA http://www.fixez.com/motorola-moto-g-display-assembly-and-frame, but delivery time to Europe seems very long however if one don't want to spend more than half the price of the phone in order to get this part..
Will try a local phone repair shop tomorrow but am sceptic.

Hi there,
I have a question... I suggest that the screens are exactly the same (LTE and non-LTE versions) so I hope that there will be no problems if I'll try to repair my XT1039 with a XT1032 screen (In the description the seller on ebay says that its comaptible and moreover the screen is white coloured which means its for the 4G model).
My question is if anyone has experience with cheaper screens like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351153277410?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Do you think that it could be a fake one? Should I invest in a more expensive screen ? Because the links for screens here in this thread were usually approx. 40 dollars.
I'll be glad for any reactions regarding this problem.

Hello guys
I can confirm that 1032 lcd works on the 1039 model. I have ordered replacemenet lcd with frame for 1032 model and installed it on 1039. LCD is completly same, but frame required some small adjustment. There is small peace of plastic that had to be trimmed of, but it is not visible after assembly. I was easier for me than removing the frame from the LCD.

Hi guys , i want to know if this :
http://www.etradesupply.com/replacement-part-for-motorola-moto-g-front-housing-black.html
is comaptible with xt1039 4g version . I read your posts and i've seen that it might not be compatible .

Hi,
I successfully replaced a new screen to my phone. The only problem i have is that there is zone where the touch screen is not working (in bottom of the phone)
Is it a problem of the screen that i bough or an error in assembly?
Thanks for your help.

Hello, my son broke his Moto G LTE too. All works but display with black bubbles.
Any new suggestion about where to look for the replacement screen kit? I see that the original link appears as "ended". I contacted a repair shop here in Italy and would charge about 80 euros for the whole kit+work.
May I find anything around 30-40 euros in your opinion?
I found this for 34 us $:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LCD-Dis...091d56&pid=100011&rk=3&rkt=10&sd=141337688319
but delivery time is quite long... anything with better speed for delivery to Italy?
Thanks in advance for input

I broke the screen on my XT1039 and got a replacement screen for the XT1032, because a lot of them said they were compatible with both so I assumed they all would be.
The screen works fine, except the screen itself is pushed away from the bezel along the left edge. Is that the same reason why you had to trim a piece of plastic from the frame?
Thanks if you can reply, I know this is an old thread

Broken touchscreen :eek:

Hello dear community, my dreadiest fear just realized today :
my X2 decided to make one with the concrete...
luckily, both with my heart, only the touchscreen shattered from this unholy union.
So now I want to replace only the broken thing (less expensive) with a replacement part I found on aliexpress (25 € for those wandering), BUT I was unable to find any clue about the separation of the LCD and the touchscreen :
Are they inextricably bound together as the galaxy S series are ?
Or are they just attached with some tape as any good reparable phone should be ?
I was also wandering whether the screen parts were the same between the X1 and the X2 !
If you have any material showing how to proceed with the separation, and care to share them, I'd be in your dept forever !!
Boujou bien !

The disassembly should be the same as the X1 video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NOG1SISbKw

Yes I have seen this video, but it is only showing the removing of the screen/touchscreen from the phone, not the separation of the LCD from the touchscreen (they are both broken in the video, hence no point to mess with them !)

They are fused together so it's not even worth trying to remove them. 99.99% of the time you won't be successful.

Good to know !
I almost succeeded once, with a heated bench, But I'm not willing to try that again…
Did you have to fix yours already ? Any clue about backward compatibility with the X1 assembly (20 % cheaper !) ?

I Sat on my Huawei honor X2 -Screen is not working Properly
Hello (posted this in wrong area a few weeks ago)
I sat on my X2 GEM-703L under several pillows - bend was 1/2 inch - the top & bottom were 1/2 inch lower than center . I carefully bent it straight (there is a small kink in metal frame right side just above center button. Everything else seems to work beside the screen. *** I will push "4" and the key adjacent character is recognized, also it will type on its own or type 3-5 characters when I only pushed one...
Questions:. Does this sound like touch screen Replacement will fix these issues??? Or is thier additional interface hardware attached with the touch screen, or both?
- I really like that phone - hoping it is not a lost cause...
Thanks for your help

Hello Gary, sorry just saw your post.
I Think this might be fixed by a change of screen, but the problem might also come from the bent frame too.
For the tactile to work properly, and not register wrong input, the screen needs to be grounded and I think also calibrated to the phone caracteristics. If you just replace the screen, it's environment would not be the same as it is suppose to be anymore (frame with a kink) hence there is a risk that the new screen might reacts weirdly, registering ghost input etc... Because the screen might not rest flat on the support frame, and the contacts used for grounding might not be working anymore.
I have a spare screen that I*just bought for mine, unfortunately my problem seems to come from the motherboard, so the screen is useless for me.
If you want to give it a try, and live in the US, pm me !
If you don't want to do it (the screen comes without a frame, so you have to use your old one)
I'm willing to buy your phone to try to save mine ! :angel:
Best,
Quentin.
