I accidentally dropped my tablet - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Accessories

I dropped my FIRE HD8 8th gen. To make matter worse, cracks are stretched all over the glass so I have to replace it.
I ordered a new screen digitizer for my device. By the way, is there any thing I should aware of while replacing it?

The LCD display and digitizer are separate parts. I have not changed a screen digitizer on a HD 8 (2018) but I have read on this forum somewhere that the part is the same as the one for a HD 8 (2017). I would look at one of the videos for changing the digitizer for the HD 8 (2017); it should be similar.

Is it cheaper to just buy a replacement during the Prime day sale? Seems like a lot of time/trouble just to try and fix it.

Screen Broken, Need some help finding the correct replacement

A few weeks ago, an unfortunate accident let to my Asus TF300T's screen being broken. While bad, what's worse is the digitizer broke as well, and it no longer receives touch input. After scouring the internet for a replacement, I have learned that there are a couple versions of the display, and they are incompatible with each other. But the problem is, the flex cable on my tablet does not indicate which version it is.
Attached is a picture of the flex cable. There is no text on the back of it. Is there something I am missing? Could someone point me in the right direction as to which version I need to fix it? Many thanks!

Where did you get the information that there are different versions of the touchscreen that are not compatible with the tablet? Whatever the case, it shouldn't matter (GO1 or GO3) since you need either one to work with your TS board, not with each other. Search around to determine if it's just the screen that's bad; look at this THREAD for example. There is a thread somewhere claiming that different firmwares are required for different screens, but that's not to say that any of them is incompatible with your TS board (provided it's still working) since you can flash various firmwares for various screens to the same TS board.
I have read through the linked thread and one member states that the panel with "5158N FPC-1" on the flex cable is indeed the G03 version. It doesn't look like many people carry this version, but I will look around and report my results to this thread in a few weeks time. (or days, if I can find a seller in the US)

Ebay has quite a few US sellers of this thing for around 70 bucks. If you're not sure, I know a repair technician here who ordered a GO1 screen for a customer who never showed up. It's tested and he'd let it go for 55-60, but the difficulty is in the replacing. It's delicate work (I've done it myself so I know), and the TS board is known to be finicky and can quit altogether if not handled properly. If you're not confident of your skills, you should leave it to someone who knows what they're doing.
The biggest problem while trying to replace the screen is trying to separate the Digitizer from the LCD (if the LCD still works) There is some really sticky tape that bonds the two together and if you aren't super careful, you will break the LCD (like I did LOL). I ended up having to get a new Digitizer AND LCD and got them at different times. When it was all said and done, I blew close to $150 since I bought them both separately. If you can find both LCD and digitizer as a set for less than $100 I would buy that rather than just getting the Digitizer for $30 less and risk breaking the LCD in the process.
That's just my 2 cents.

I have already separated the LCD and digitizer successfully. (well, almost successfully. the knife I used to separate the tape slipped and I gashed my finger pretty bad. But the important part came out completely fine...not even a fingerprint!
You say you can get the digitizer for 30 bucks? The lowest Ive seen them on Ebay for is about 70 dollars.

I'm not sure why you cared to separate the two since both were mentioned broken in your first post. The only thing you need is the plastic bezel glued to the digitizer.

I saved the LCD display, since it works perfectly fine. The digitizer/glass on the other hand, which was already broken, was hopelessly shattered in the process. That is the part that needs replacing.
The plastic bezel/screen is the same as the digitizer. It's all one piece. Nah cheapest digitizer is around 70 but some places i think sold both for $100 ish.

Despite what hardslog says, I must caution you again that the bezel and digitizer are two separate parts bonded together by a double-sided strip. A new digitizer doesn't come with the bezel. If you throw it away now, the back cover will not cover the whole tab at the front later on. Now if hardslog can vouch for an lcd/Touchscreen combo for around 100, you should ask him for referrals. He'd be doing a great service to other members as well since quite a few have looked hard for that item and couldn't find it anywhere to buy.
We might be a little confused with each other on the terminology being used. If by bezel you mean the very outer part of the screen (the 1/3cm or so black border thing around it, as in NOT the black part that says "ASUS" on it) then yes that is a separate piece. I thought people were referring to the digitizer and the clear screen (as in the part that you touch) as being the same thing. Does that make sense?
Sorry it seems prices have gone up even more since I replaced my screen (4-5 months ago). Don't listen to me when I said $100.
There was this place - dunno how reliable they are. But they are out of stock anyway https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/ASUS/EEE~PAD~TRANSFORMER~TF300-B1-BL~TABLET/ Still $130 when it was in stock

Glass Replacement Options?

I bought the glass and the casing. Has anyone successfully removed the LCD from the glass so that ONLY the glass can be replaced? I'm going to attempt it for giggles next week and could use advice.
There is a post about teardown of both the HD and the HD MAXX in the General section. Not sure if your specific question is answered there, but it's a good place to start. Hope this helps.

Ok, here is what I found. It IS possible to seperate the LCD from the glass digitizer but it is VERY difficult and the LCD needs to be on a no static/clean surface(100% dust free). I took mine apart and successfully repaired it but DO NOT recommend trying it as the process is incredibly delicate and the LCD will more than likely break.

[Q] Has anyone bought a replacement screen yet?

I dropped my Moto G a few weeks into owning it and destroyed the front glass. First phone that I have broken the glass on and I was very disappointed.
Starting looking around at options of fixing it. Thought I would try just changing the glass since the screen was fine and the digitizer still worked. After watching several tutorials I decided that this was a bad idea. Thought about getting just the screen, but it still seemed like a lot of work.
Then I came across an entire replacement front housing HERE.
Has anyone bought something like this? It seems like it would be super easy to replace.
I do think it should be very easy to replace. You can find an even cheaper one here : http://www.ebay.com/itm/271508770936?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
As to changing only the glass, as you mentioned yourself it looks quite difficult indeed, since you need to separate the two layers. I wouldn't try it myself.

I have bought 2 so far, with the front housing.Those are the best option since they are super easy to replace, unlike the digitizer only (which is also harder to find).The 3rd option is glass+screen assembly but that is the same as replacing the digitizer itself so ye.Also the Moto G has its plastic around the glass sticking up a bit for protection, which makes the replacement of that xtra hard (you can literally ruin the frame even if you done that multiple times on different phones).Also you are safe of getting dust between the glass and the display (which is very annoying).
When you get digitizer+display+frame, you`re esentially saving yourself shidload of trouble and avoiding all that I've mentioned above.There are only 2 things you need to move on --> the earphone and the microphone (depends on the revision of the board).

The quality of the ones I bought is great.I'm not sure if the glass is Gorilla Glass but it feels like the original and the plastic is virtually the same.They could be OEM, cos they fit too damn good with everything else, although I (nor the seller) don't claim that they are.For the price (~40 usd) that I buy em for I'm totally satisified.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Ordered one of these about a week ago hoping for it to show up soon .
I'll make sure to update everyone when I get it and it is installed.
Well i got the screen in today and it looks identical. Sadly the tools that they provided are not the right Torx size for the phone.
Got the new screen installed after a trip to the store to get a Torx set. It looks and feels like the original one. Changing it out was incredibly easy as well.

6045 Digitizer replacement?

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.

Hello and thanks for the answers, with Aliexpress is very often only the display without frame, which it badly attaches as the frame has very thin and little surface to glue

Yesterday my lenovo p2 had hard landing and front glass crunched. Although, LCD display and digitalizer are working just fine. I've found front glass on ebay for ~30$. Does anyone ever tried to replace only front glass in this model? Does anyone know if it's glued and if digitalizer is bundled with display module, or it's between glass and display?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the clue. I've just checked, and super amoled has integrated digitalizer, so there's hope that it's not the part of front glass. Although, there still possibility, that front glass is integrated part of whole display
I smashed touch panel and display itself, did claim yesterday and has been accepted for repair under Lloyds phone insurance included in silver package. Paid 50 pounds

Did you find a solution for this?
My P2 has cracked glass (like others, dropped from a few feet, glass completely shattered).
The LCD and digitizer are still working fine so a new glass should fix it but is it possible to only replace the glass or do you need the complete glass/digitizer/LCD module?
Thanks

Yes. I've read a lot about this and there's possibility to change only glass. Although it's extreamly riski to do so without proper tools and experience (almost certain to destroy super amoled display). So I've searched for a company who can do this, and found one in my country. They charge for it ~100$ and give 12 month of warranty. I've alredy send them my phone. Although due to shipment of new parts, I need to wait next two weeks for repair.

I have the same problem, there's an abundance of any other phone screen LCD compared to the one for the Lenovo P2. Are the screens getting discontinued for whatever reason?

No stock on AliExpress, I have checked.
I can find a replacement glass only but I think the risk of damage to the current digitizer/amoled is high when removing the cracked glass.
Bump
Has anybody got a reliable source? There seems to be a global shortage of these bloody screens and besides the official Lenovo replacement costing 90% of the price of the phone, there are no other options available anywhere. Nothing on AliExpress, BangGood, Alibaba, eBay and anywhere else in my coutry.
for this reason i use a RIGGED CASE on my p2 eheheheheh
atm the screen is difficult to find!! better to use a nice cover......

Maybe you should ask uploader of this movie.
You can currently buy it on AliExpress for $189.99. However, you can buy the entire bloody phone on BangGood for $209.99.
Hi, I have broken my display and as I'm looking on AliExpress, there are displays for something like 20$. And then Lenovo P2 display 190$, WTF?
Do you know if there will be cheaper displays available? Personally, I'm pessimist :/
