So my Idol 3's screen is busted, and I need to know in order to replace the digitizer if it is fused with the LCD panel. Does anybody have info on this? Digitizers by themselves cost about $20, and one with the LCD panel would cost me three times as much, so I'd like to avoid buying the latter, if possible. Thanks!

LCD and touch digitizer are indeed fused

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!
Need help here please. Is it possible to replace just the screen glass digitizer of a Nokia Lumia 1520? How? Thanks.

Thank you but this are all screen digitizer with LCD screen display replacements or the full assembly. What I'm looking for is the screen glass digitizer replacement only without the LCD screen display. Because my LCD screen display is still working.

replacing the digitizer is the same procedure + you'll have to separate the digitizer from the lcd (when the assy is removed) which is very difficult to do. The digitizer is glued in place and you'll probably end up with a broken lcd. I would suggest to replace the assy instead of just the digitizer. Yes, I know, the digitizer is only 20-40$ and the complete assy is 170-200$.
It worth a try but be mentally prepared to spend 200$ more just in case...
here is one example how you do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMXA8KyHaFE
then you'll need to clean the lcd from the glue using a glue remover and a blade, being careful not to damage the lcd
and finally apply liquid glue back to the lcd and install the new digitizer and reassemble the whole thing.

I've seen that many have bought the said replacement so I guess it is really possible. It is just not that easy. I've checked other forums and they as well are waiting for a proper video. But thank you for you this.
Hello all, looking to replace the digitizer at some point. I have a lot of scratches already. Does anyone know if the digitizer part alone would be sufficient, or is it fused to the LCD thereby requiring LCD be replaced as well?
Figured someone here knew by now, can never trust the eBay sellers, hehe!

Is this just a dumb question or has nobody done it?
Have replaced an ipad 2 screen in the past, I always thought the two were separable. However, more recently I was told this wasn't possible with a particular phone screen that was cracked, the IP5S, and that the assembly replacement was required as they were 'fused'. I kind of figured he might be telling the truth as the largest quantity of item being sold was assembly (lcd and digitizer) and not the super cheap digitizer only. Maybe I was bamboozled? lol. Anyway, I hope in the case of the Idol 3, a digitizer replacement is enough. Bueller?

The touch screen and LCD digitizer ARE fused, do not be scammed by sellers on eBay. I've completely tore down my 1st idol 3 (which had a cracked screen)due to curiosity. It was really easy to teardown

When you were doing the teardown, were you able to see how easy/hard it was
to change the battery? Several months from now, a bunch of us may need to know
how to do this.
(OP, sorry for off topic)

Yes, the battery is only held down by glue and a flex cable. Its very easy to remove
Hello everyone!
After coming back from a hike I sadly found my digitizer completely shattered, the LCD works fine and the screen is still responsive in some parts.
Did any of you ever do a digitizer only replacement? I know it's possible with some phones, and there are ones who need an LCD+digitizer replacement.
Thank you!
It could be done, but the cost to change digitizer only is close to replacing the whole set.
Not mentioning the huge effort to separate the broken digitizer from the lcd assembly.
I have tried this, and the result compared to the effort is not worth it.
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
