looks like you don't understand the word "disassemble". It is the opposite of "assemble" i,e. to break down the thing apart. to remove the inner parts separately. It's nothing to do with going back to original ROM.
If I'm not wrong, this guy has two spoiled XT720 sets which he want to take out and put together as a good one.

I just want to replace digitalizer from my LCD because right part of touchscreen isn't working on my XT
ehhhhh sorry, bad translation from google translate jejeje
O yes, i'm interested in this topic, i want to see some information about disassemble guide. I hope some one have it.
mainly you need to unscrew 6 screws. here's the list
-beside camera lens, covered with rubber cap.
-under 8.0 Xenon label.
- two screws above battery. (visible when you remove the battery cover)
- two screws partially hidden under speaker grills. (also need to remove battery cover to see)
the most difficult part will be the two at the bottom under that speaker grills. You'll need to remove the speaker grills to be able to remove the screws and it can be damaged in the process.
Did someone allready managed to get a disassembly guide in his hands? I just dropped my XT last night, and the camera doesnt work now any more. I purchased my one in Germany but I´m in Australia for half a year now and dont think that the repair centers can help me here, as this phone has never been released in Australia.
I got my tab back from RMA (doa) they replaced the screen and there is now a speck between the screen and glass... I can live with the light bleed but this speck is frikin annoying Its not a dead pixel with the device off it is clearly seen under the glass... HELP i am sooo annoyed and I dont want to rma again! How do you take this thing apart?
Thanks!
You don't want to risk taking the thing apart. If you **** it up it's your fault and Asus will NOT give you free warranty service after the fact.
If you can't live with it you have to call Asus and tell them you want them to fix this. They'll probably tell you to prove that they did this by taking a picture of something that's impossible to take a picture of.
Good luck. Another casualty of ****ty Asus QC and an even ****tier RMA service.

Why do you **** on every thread that has anything to do with with Asus support or QC of these devices?
If you hate the thing, sell it and buy something you like.

mmmmmk I rooted so I don't care about warranty... I am pretty good at this stuff... if not I know a guy that is a freakin meticulous electronical surgeon.... he made me new insides of the left button on my g9x mouse when the copper wore out.. if I mess it up he'll fix it. Best part hes fam so he does it for free ;D
Would just like a rough idea before I tear into it.

No. (LOL)
I don't hate the TF, I do hate the way service is handled. Your whole post and your line of reasoning is so ****ing flawed it makes me embarassed just to see how embarassing you are. A case of serious contact embarassment. I should sell the TF and I must hate it because I hate how Asus runs things and I hate their QC? Are you stupid or just deficient?
By the way, ****ting on threads would be like what you're doing, making a moronic post that doesn't even begin to answer the OP on a thread, instead you sidetrack the whole discussion. Great job you selfish asshole. I don't "**** on" threads, I tell it like it is. I don't lie about the RMA process or QC, it's the truth (in less than flattering terms) and it's relevant to the OP. Next time you want to send me a love letter go do it by PM instead of hijacking another persons thread.

You can unroot it and "preserve" that warranty. This isn't really a good reason to go ahead and rip through it.

Sounds good until you miss a clip and break it. It doesn't really matter how good you or your fam is at doing this. There's a chance for anything to break especially when you're dealing with a particular device you haven't had any experience disassembling before.

There was a disassembly thread somewhere here that shows a minor teardown. Do a google search for it. Although I'm not sure it goes as far as the screen and glass. In addition you have no way to guarantee that you won't introduce more dust since I doubt you own a clean room. I highly advise you contact Asus first, you don't want to do this. There are too many risks that outweigh removing a stupid fleck from between the screen and glass. You'll end up breaking clips that hold the back to the bezel and then you finish up the job, fire the unit up and FUUUUUUUUUUU there are eight huge pieces of dust under the screen. Oops.
My I noticed a spec of dust last night on my TF and concur that its driving me crazy! Would asus' warranty cover something like this?

I bought a Sensation and the other day my screen cracked when I dropped it, so i bought a screen digitizer replacement but it did not come with instructions =[
I'm freaking out because I have no idea how to do this and I spent 45 dollars to replace it! Can someone please help!? PLEASE! =[

That shows me the connector strap....but all is not lost.
I opened mine.
There's two small screws up top on either corner.
Two just below the battery pocket on either side and two on the bottom corners.
It looks like there may be a hidden one in the battery pocket,next to the contact terminals,under a round dot sticker.
They look like they may be #4 Torx head .. just a guess.
Get those out [remember their positions] and it should be fairly easy.

take it back to the shop and get it fixed?
If you lived in the Oklahoma City area I'd say bring it in to my shop & I'd get you all fixed up(I'm a phone/computer/game console repair tech) but I dunno what area you're in, so... Replacing screens is generally pretty easy but I REALLY recommend you take it to a phone shop if you don't know how to do it. These phones are extremely delicate & you could break it VERY easily with one wrong move. But if you insist on doing it yourself, this should hopefully help you out some with getting it apart- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG7gt1EnN3w It's kind of fast & ****ty, but it's the only teardown vid I could find.
FYI- digitizers are stuck on with special double-stick adhesive that holds it in place over the LCD, so make sure the one you bought came with a new piece of adhesive because you can't reuse the old one(unless you're VERY careful) & the screen won't stay on w/o it. You'll wanna use a heat gun on a low setting or a hot hairdryer to get the old digitizer off too. And of course, be mindful of dust.
I just did exactly this repair and took some footage while doing it. Excuse the crappy voiceover.
On youtube.com go to watch?v=T5bWl73O9ss Or just search for HTC Sensation Screen Repair
Apparently my old account was disabled so I had to sign up again. Now I can't post a single URL. Hope someone else can make that linkable.

if you've never done that before, I suggest (as I do to all my customers to save pain and money) find someone with knowhow, and kindly ask to look over their shoulder. this has worked for me on many many occasions. I know know how to windshield chip repair for one (although completely unrelated)
Hello everyone,
my Photon Q fell two days ago and since nothing really happened except that the slider mechanism feels more lose than before, I wanted to ask you guys if 1) with your phone it is the same or 2) do you have an idea how to make it "tight" again?
I opened the phone but couldn't really find out what causes this gap on the left side (when the phone is closed and you are looking at the front). Even it's cosmetic (for some ) it bugs me a lot
Thanks
I've got the same issue, but I thought it could be an issue caused by a fall of the Photon Q.

You probably should have exchanged it then. It's likely yours was dropped during shipping or by someone in the Sprint store.

I'm not experienced in hardware repair or mods, but if you can separate the two parts of the phone it looks like it has a single hinge with two rails for the slide mechanism. I don't think those would be damaged based on your pictures but there are also two pieces of metal, one on each side of the display connector. My bet would be that one of those got dented. The two pieces seem to be used as a stopping point for the slide as well as distancing/orienting the display.

Nah, Im less than thrilled with this phone, I hope it dies soon and I'll switch models. I love having a slider but there are too many disappointments with this one looks like I'll have to go with an S3 or S4.

Thanks, Solust, for your ideas. I've been thinking the same. I inspected both of them, when I opened the phone and one felt a little lose. Not as lose as the upper part of the phone feels now, though. Can you confirm that it are those things you were mentioning?

At this point I do think it is beyond me and I'm a bit surprised someone more familiar with hardware hasn't stepped in yet. Might be worth a try PMing someone involved in the SIM mod.
The two metal pieces I was thinking of are on the keyboard portion of the phone. On the back of the display portion they create a mild groove the same size as the groove for the rails. One groove is left halfway up the phone and the other between that groove and the top of the phone. When the phone is together the display cable fits perfectly between them.
I'm sorry, all I can really do is speculate. I really don't know enough about this sort of thing. I may be mistaken as to what these parts are.

I think it is pretty impossible to fix a dent in the hinge, right? But would that http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOTOROLA-PH...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20d0b14dc6 fix my problems?
^ I'm pretty sure it wouldn't. My Q is suffering from the very same problem, though I got over it quite a while ago since it's kind of a 'minor' issue I actually have the same exact part sitting on my desk right now, my listing on eBay to sell it just ended haha. I could test it out for you, if you really would like to know.

Edit: This fan from Digi-Key isn't the same fan as the stock one. I wouldn't advise buying it until bignazpwns confirms if his method works.
The fan in this phone is made of the softest type of plastic available. If you've messed with it at all you've probably broken it accidentally. Or, in my case you dropped the phone and the fan began clicking.
There are no results if you google "red magic 3 fan replacement", but luckily I've found the fan itself (not the fan housing) on Digi-Key for roughly $18.72 (remove the space): www .digikey.com/product-detail/en/delta-electronics/BSB01703HA3-00CAJ/603-2066-ND/7403223
A guide on how to take it out/put it in can be derived from this video (remove the space): www .youtube.com/watch?v=JiS24PRIq-A&t=268s
Helo, thanks for the info. Do you know where this fan ships from which country ?

That fan won't work. It's a 4 wire pwm can in the RM3 that fan is a 3 wire.
I ordered one I broke my fan so I'm going to see if it has the -FP+ like the stock fan and just needs a wire or if I gotta transplant the board. Delta said it's a custom fan so I'll post what I get to get it back up and running.
Update. They offer no replacement fans what so ever and no help at all other then send it in for an extremely costly repair that will take over a month to complete.
I'll be making a guide this week about adapting the bsb01703ha3-00 as a replacement. There is no reason for them not to sell this fan or provide any info. 3 wire fan should work but will have no pwm control but I think there might be a solder point on it for the pwm lead. I'll post my findings as well as If I swap out the fans pcb with the OEM one. That should be the best way to do it and use the new fan as a donor housing and fan.
You will need to mod the housing tho since the blade is just held in by it's magnets and could move when dropped. This is why the OEM has that little bar over it. But I'll make a guide for everyone and save them a ton of money and time.
If you have a sla or dlp printer and you need a new housing here ya go.

Sorry I've been meaning to make an update. I had the same idea you had for the -FP+ thing, and was just going to try connecting everything judging from the labels on (remove space) www .delta-fan.com/Download/Spec/BSB01703HA3-00CAJ.pdf , and connect + to + and - to -, and try both remaining ones with the middle wire. Unfortunately my fan's cables were too short to do that.
What I wound up doing was taking the circuit board (with all 4 cables) and very carefully placing it in the housing of the new fan, replacing its board. I soldered everything back up and nothing. It wouldn't spin at all, even on boot. So as far as I know this isn't a viable method, pending bignazpwns' response. I've already updated the OP to reflect. Big ups to bignazpwns for going the extra mile with the replacements

Note.
Replacement fan is much louder due to the fact 100% is a bit more RPM. Just replaced the fan with one with a replacement blade assembly, coils off the aftermarket fan all on the stock pcb. This gets the auto speed control back and makes preform like stock. 100% is a little bit less in terms of RPM but much more quiet.
Just note swapping coils is not easy.
You will need to remove 1/2 a coil so you can get to the other solder pad. Red Magic fan used SMT coils and the replacement is soldered by hand. You will also need to apply light heat to remove them. They are stuck down with adhesive. I used a hot air reflow station but you really need to watch the heat because you can cause it to uncoil. Scale from 1-10 for soldering skill this is a 10.
The replacement fan drops right in and offeresore rpm to move more air at 100% just connect the 3 wires and be done with it. I'm always here to give advice and help of you need to do this. Also for adhesive I use this. AJ Sign World Best 1" Ultra-Thin... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBJVU04?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share it's thin and super strong. If you work on phones I highly recommend you get a roll.

NP. I destroyed mine with 100psi of air lol. No big deal easy fix and it's only hard if you make it. I'll probably swap the replacement fan back in for the higher rpm and more air flow. On and off control is good enough for me.
What happened with all of these info removed ? My fan started to make weird noises and i start investigating on its replacement... The most disappointing fact is i barely used the fan and the phone has around 6 month :|
