Hello All,
After two years of use, I decided to replace the battery of my lovely Honor 8. However, I was not carefull enough and accidentally I cut in half the LCD connector while removing the battery.
Does anyone know if the LCD screen connector can be bought as a stand alone part or is it available only as an assembly with the screen?
Also, a reliable source of spare OEM parts for the Honor 8 would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Yannis
I have never seen a separate LCD connector, it will surely buy the entire screen. Moreover if you had to replace only the connector, the handling will be complicated

Hello,
Touch screen glass was broken, due to my phone fallen on the ground. The LCD was still working perfectly so i've ordered a new genuine digitizer for my HTC Z710E.
After replacing it my GSM does nothing . When charging i see the charging light lighting up in red or either green when full, but besides that i won't do anything. I disassemblied the phone again twice, reconnect all the connectors and still nothing. Sometimes my phone vibrates and sometimes when i push the power button the charging light disappears but that are the only signs of living.
Is this a common failure after replacing the digitizer? Did i overlook something?
Hopefully you guys can help me out.
Thanks in advance!
If the LCD ribbon cable is, in fact, getting a good connection then I would probably lean towards the lcd itself having been damaged during the install. Due to the construction of the sensation, it can be difficult removing the lcd without damaging it even for an experienced tech like myself.
What I would suggest would be to go ahead and order a new lcd. This would also be a good time to double check that the part number on the new digitizer's ribbon cable matches that of the broken digitizer you removed, as the incorrect part will lag when the screen is turned on at best and will not work at all at worst. As far as I know, the sensation and kindle fire are the only devices like this where you will have slightly different parts even within the same model and region.

Hmm i already thought so . I did it really really careful, but despite that it broke.
Time for getting another phone. Don't have much money now, but i shall see what's for sale
Has anyone ever replaced this Lcd and Digitizer. My digitizer has cracked and seems like the best bet is to buy the lcd and digitizer together.
I believe most phones have a serious adhesive under the digitizer pane so its worth just getting them together.
Here is what i am looking at. I am technically competent and confident i can take apart this phone without breaking it.
How does this screen look .

Having a cracked screen is not acceptable to me even if its small.
Replacing the screen is fairly easy on the m8 compared to the m7.. All you have to do is take the charging board off and the flex cables will slide out.. Try to save the tape.. I have gotten phones without it and they don't perform as they should. Watch this video it will help. http://youtu.be/f1qk8YSWg8k
If you've never done a screen replacement for you may want to take it or send it somewhere (and don't forget if it's less than 6 months old, HTC will replace it for free). It's certainly much easier than the M7, but for a beginner it's still one of the more difficult screen replacements. You may need to purchase the speaker grilles and some strong adhesive - I would recommend this - https://www.wholesalegadgetparts.com/product.php?productid=22096&cat=0&page=1 - it's the best stuff on the market. They have many different widths for sale on their site (I also highly recommend that site in general, but they are out of stock on M8 screens until the 16th - excellent warranty and best customer service in the business).
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:

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 imagine they would be the same display assembly but I'm not 100 percent sure.
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
Gary

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.
So I really love this device albeit some minor problems on custom roms. I don't see myself upgrading/downgrading to another device since I literally use this both as a phone and a portable drawing tablet. Would it be wise if I start stocking up on spare parts (flex cables, LCD + digitizer) or just buy a replacement unit and take out the battery? BTW, are 90x devices interchangeable in terms of spare parts?
My device is starting to get some brighter spots on the screen and it worries me. Hopefully the replacement parts online are good enough.

All parts of Galaxy Note Pro SM-P900 and Galaxy Tab Pro SM-T900 are identical except the LCD assembly and back cover due to the SPen slot.
The most expensive part is the LCD assembly because touchscreen and LCD are glued together with LOCA ( Liquid Optical Clear Adhesive ), you have to replace the whole assembly.
Other parts are cheap and easily to find, you don't need to stock up in advance. LTE models almost the same as Wifi model except mainboard and rear camera.
All LTE models are identical except the firmware, bootloader is locked by provider. You can change Verizon( P905V) to AT&T ( P907A) tablet just by swapping mainboard.
Bright spots are fine on the LCD, they don't effect the function of the display. I even can change an LTE Note Pro to Wifi Note Pro or Tab Pro just by swapping mainboard and rear camera. Rear camera of LTE models doesn't work with Wifi model even they look identical.
Hey y'all
Has anybody tried upgrading the standard ROG phone 5 to add the OLED ROG vision display?
There are solder points for the OLED screen ribbon cable header on the PCB on the standard version but it's missing. I've got the necessary tools so the way I see it, solder on a connector (assuming I can find one), pick up a replacement back with the OLED screen and see what happens.
Does this sound too crazy?

It'd be super cool to see if it can be done since the versions share the same rom package. Which means it probably does already have the code for the screen
I'm comfortable soldering surface mount components so the only trick would be sourcing the parts. In my enquiries this far I've not been able to confirm that the rest glass replacement comes with the OLED screen.
I've also not been able to source the connector for the ribbon cable.
If software is the same, I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. I'm definitely keen to give it a red hot crack.

The drivers are there. I remember seeing them.
