Mix lcd replacement without frame - Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories

Hello everyone,
I recently dropped my mix and I wish to get an lcd and replace it by myself.
I just wanted to ask if you guys know if the screen is glued to the frame or just attached with some screws.
I looked in YouTube and it seems it is not glued together but the lady in the shop said they sell the screen with frame that is already glued.
And if I get the screen separated can I glue it by myself? Or I better get glued one?
Also if anyone finds a good quality replacement video I'll be happy to watch it.
Thank you in advance
Roy.

Better to get glued one, will save lot of time.
The plastic frame is glued into the side of LCD outer glass.
I'm not sure what type of glue that can be use.

So the screen is supposed to be glued to the frame? I saw some mix teardown and lcd replacement videos where the screen is not glued. You sure about that?

Yes i'm sure about it.
Just replaced the screen last week

Hello,
Thanks for enlightening us, can you share a screenshot and where you bought it from? Is it easy to replace without damaging internal parts and does it function as it was before? Is there a case than can protect it aganist drop cause mine broke in less than a feet.

Where did you get the screen from?

always better to get the screen with frame. Saves time and it's very hard to find good adhesive that will work like the one factory used.

Can you just replace the outer glass and not the whole lcd? just dropped my phone and now there's a huge scratch on the screen. The lcd and frame are good but there's a huge scratch on the screen which is annoying to me.

[Q] samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket

I just want a new glass. My digitizer works perfect so anyway I can just get the glass? I don't wanna spend 200 bucks for a screen and a digitizer. I just want a new glass. Is it possible?
I haven't seen them separately. Not sure though

I haven't seen just the class but you could buy one with a fried digitizer and then just use a heat gun to remove the glass.

I sent mine in to Samsung and they replaced the glass/digitizer for $145.00
I suspect they sent me a whole new phone tho.
Found just the glass on ebay for $20
Ok, so I found the glass only as well but am not sure if that can be replaced without buying a digitizer too. I have a couple deep scratches but nothing is cracked. I just want to replace the glass. Can this be done? Is it glued to the digitizer? I have not been able to find a "How to" showing just replacing the glass.
Thanks for any info.

I replaced with $15 glass from ebay. I used a hair dryer. The whole glass is glued to the display, so it took several hours. Maybe a heat gun would work better. I also chipped a polarized sheet that was between the display and the glass. Touch screen still works, but not as well as it did because of the slight space between screen and glass, if I squeeze it down again and turn the screen off and back on it works fine for a little. Probably would use better glue or something next time.

Phone fell...screen shattered

Hello XDA,
My T-Mobile Nexus 5 fell out of my pocket and landed straight on it's face, shattering the screen. It still works, I still use it, but the screen will now need to be replaced.
I am very handy and can do this job myself - if the cost is reasonable. My question is, do I need just the screen which is just $5.95 for a "Black LG Google Nexus 5 D820 D821 Front Screen Glass Lens Replacement Part" on eBay or do I need the whole digitizer assembly, which is $99+ on eBay. I hope it is the former since the screen is still responsive to touch.
Look at your phone closely. Is it just front mirror that's broken? Digitizer screen is behind the front screen. I would post some pictures to see how bad it is.
I would disassemble it and see if it's broken to if you have an extra phone you can use until you get your parts
You should be able to just replace the "front" glass. But I'll pick up something of about 20/30$. I think 6$ is definitly too poor to be a good glass..

There's no way anyone is replacing just the glass and not having a horrible deformed or otherwise irregular phone after gluing or taping it back together again.
Short answer: You need at least the glass + digitizer. Preferably the frame as well to make it easier on yourself.

^this. And don't buy the non oem one for 99 bucks. It will be garbage in so many possible ways. Pay the 150 dollars and send it to lg. Replacing the glass only is not easy at all either research loca glue and you'll see. Or read my other posts on why not to do screen repairs yourself with a n5. Trust me pay lg to fix it, you'll save time, headaches, and money.

Display replacement

Unfortunately I crashed display on moto x play...so if anybody now trusted site to buy new one....tnx
Anyone found a display replacement that includes the front cover? Without it, it should be nearly impossible, am I right?

I haven't seen any.
I tried combining the components and failed. Broke the circuitry in the LCD when trying to mount the frame...
I asked Motorola what i should do when i dropped my phone and the glas got broken. They told i should send it to their repair service, it was datrepair in Germany maybe its another in other countries. They Arranged everything for me and i paid 120€ for the replacement, just the glass maybe touch but idk, screen was ok when i was sending it in. They even took care of shipping without any cost for me.
Normaly i repair devices by myselfe but in fact the phone was only 1 Month old i refused to it.
If you have a heat gun (or hair dryer) and a set of torx screwdrivers, you should be able to fix it at home. If something is tight, never force it. Use plastic tools to pry open the case, usually comes together with the screwdriver set if you buy them online

For that, you would need the lcd including the frame which is nicht available yet...
So atm nearly impossible.
I managed to get some tiny cracks on the edge near the front camera (it fell onto metal from my jacket, i was bending over). Thankfully it's not the touch area, but i now somehow understand why so many people have cracked phones. It happens so quickly. And i was treating it like a raw eggshell, too.
I dropped mine as I was getting out of the car.It cost me R1500 (R is for South African Rand) to replace the screen.The guys who repaired it had to crack the plastic frame to get the screen out .They used glue to keep the new screen in place.I dont think they knew what they were doing,but it was the only repair center that was in the same province as me.

Finally a full assembly, actually think I am going to try AGAIN. maybe I will make a video on it
There is also a full assembly available on aliexpress. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-5-...-1&btsid=5347749e-d1d5-4871-a4c2-dafc85fd700d
I should have checked ebay prior as that one ships from the states and would have got here way quicker.

Yeah, please make a video it'll help many.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_yzMPWCQOM This video shows the whole process with a complete display assembly. Its incredibly more difficult if you get the screen without the frame as the screen is affixed to the frame with some sort of adhesive foam.
I also broke my screen and ordered a replacement. Unfortunately I broke the frame in the process of removing the old screen.
Luckily I got my hands on a replacement frame and some 3M 2 milimeters adhesive strips. Praying for everything to work out put together..

Best of luck, if you can document the process as there isn't much info out on screen replacements where you affix a new frame to a screen. My frame broke when I dropped my phone which is why I just got the whole unit. Cost me about $62 CAD shipped for the whole unit.
Has anyone here tried a replacement? Any tips?
So is it possible to change just the glass without the whole display unit?

So, I tried for myself with my old display after I got a replacement new display including a new frame.
It is absolutely impossible to separate the front glass from the digitizer and display without destroying all three.
I think even a professional wouldn't be able to do it. Display and digitizer are very flexible while the screen is glued really really good to them
I heated it up to no avail. Maybe some glue remover would have helped, but I don't think it would get between the glass and the digitizer.
These phones are just not build to be repared, they are build to be thrown away.
Exchanging the new frame including display was no easy job too, but it can be done.
Be sure to have a high quality Torx T3 screwdriver or bit, the cheap china ones will do nothing but destroy the tiny screws.

Screen Glass Replacement

Did anybody try replacing the glass screen on the LG G5? Not the whole digitizer, screen only.
Looks like replacement glass is found quite cheap.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Front-O...eplacement-For-LG-G5-H820-VS987-/222227276105
There is a crack on my screen, the touchscreen is perfect. Is there a procedure somewhere that can be followed to get it done? I see a lot of videos for a complete teardown. But is it possible to just use a heatgun to take the glass off and put the new one in?
These display modules are oftenly replaced altoghether, because replacing only the glass requires it to be really precisely fitted and hermetically glued, you can probably try to seperate the digitizer from the display, but you may end up with a some dust underneath the glass or some unwanted gaps.

I had a crack on my screen at the top of when it fell down on concrete floor. I had to buy the whole display with glass and digitizer for about 130 euros. I did not know that you can just buy the glass and replace it with a lower price. Oh well... but if you want to separate the glass from the digitizer or anything what is glued, always use the heatgun. You can also use the hairdryer. I had to replace a battery by opening up a back cover with a hair dryer. For separating the glass from the digitizer you have to heat it up very often, pry it open and hold at several spots, to avoid breaking components. It s quite difficult but take it slowly.

So, if I crack my screen I need to get a screen replacement with frame or just screen replacement?

You can get without the frame, you will just need to heat up the glue between the frame and old screen to cut through the glue to remove the frame. They cover it on the instruction video on Fixez.

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
