My HTC 7 Pro (German) has some interference on the screen when the graphics are shown.
So I purchased this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-HTC-Arr...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3cdab0d847
When I received that digitizer & LCD screen "combo" of HTC Arrive, it seems the flex ribbon cable connectors between HTC 7 Pro and Arrive are totally different and I cannot attach the flex ribbon cable of HTC Arrive to the mother/main board of my HTC 7 Pro
Makes me mad that HTC has manufactured similar kind of phones for US and European markets but some components inside are different to each other If we compare it, for example, to Dell Venue Pro, the components of their European & US phones are totally interchangeable. Two days ago I put together a working Dell Venue Pro for my colleague. The mother/main board was taken from German phone which had a broken digitizer and the housing was taken from US phone which was bricked. Works like a charm!
Case dismissed! Found (accidentally) that flex cable ribbon from German E-bay!!!
The seller still had two cables so I was able to purchase one for myself
Now I'd only have to solve that QWERTZ ->QWERTY problem...
hello,
i have here a lumia 1020 froom at&t. it has a cracked screen.
i wanted to ask, if i can just buy an digitizer screen from ebay and replace it, because i know there are some differences between the us at&t model and the international one (as i know its only about the frequencies gsm, lte etc). should there be a problem with a possible other pin assignment for the display connectors ?
second i wanted to ask if i can flash an international debranded windows phone version over the at&t firmware (after the phone has been sim unlocked)
I cracked the screen of my 1020 twice, both times I bought a screen at amazon, different sellers. The first time the screen was perfect 100%, the second time the screen that I received was a bit faulty, I had a gab between the body of the phone and the screen and you could see light coming out from the side of the phone, annoying. eventually the corner of the screen broke again, I 'm not changing it again, the screen for this phone is too expensive and already bought two, my next screen will come with the phone that replaces 1020. maybe 1030 or whatever it is. Just try to get it from a good seller that could relace if it comes faulty.
the same problem. trying to deattach the glass and keep digitizer. if will be successful will publish the guide.
Just buy display assembly from good seller. The rest is simple.
I tried to separate the glass from digitizer and broke the LCD in the process. Later had to buy the whole display assembly.
Only concern was, you get glass for less than a dollar, but display assembly costs 100+ dollars.

Hello todarkness, if you buy a screen without frame, both at&t and international models are interchangeable, otherwise, you'll have to buy the at&t version if you need the frame as well.

What about flashing with international rom...
I recently got a used and raped nexus 5, it was my cousin's.
I don't know what to do with it because I'd like to install a rom or whatever on it, but the fact is that it has the screen and lcd + touchscreen completely destroyed.
What do you advice, do I replace the screen or try to sell it? (for a replacement I wouldn't spend more than 35-40 euros)
You could buy a third-party replacement screen from Aliexpress. I purchased from 2 different vendors with great results. These replacement screens aren't quite as bright as the original but they are so much cheaper. I didn't notice the difference in brightness until I held the third-party screen next to a phone with an original LG screen.
I brought my Galaxy Note 5 to a repair shop to have the charging port replaced and the Technician told me that he couldn't do that without also replacing the glass as there was a deep scratch in the digitizer and would probably break during the disassembly.
But after I negotiated a screen replacement along with the charging port replacement I was told that the digitizer on my Note 5 couldn't be replaced without replacing the LCD as well. I asked why and was told that my phone was refurbished and refurbished note 5's don't have separate digitizers and LCDs. I argued that I got the phone new at Best Buy the day it came out and it couldn't be refurbished but he showed me a little "R" on the back of the phone under the glass to prove it. I wasn't about to spend $250 on a Note 5 that I only use for wifi since I upgraded to the Note 8.
But I do use the Note 5 all the time because I can't customize the Note 8 due to the locked bootloader and I'll buy the Digitizer and charging port and replace them myself. I just don't know if the what the Technician told me about the LCD is true.
I found a dirty cheap Rog 5s with completely destroyed screen. I can also buy a Rog 5 which looks as good as new, but is dead inside. Can I take the motherboard from the 5s and put it to the 5? Or should I take the screen from the 5 and put it on the 5s?
Screen replacement sounds easier than motherboard to me, BUT I have never done it on a rog phone 5 so I could be wrong. Somewhere on xda I saw a pdf with the disassembly instrution, you could take a look there https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/service-guide-and-maintenance.4315865/ . Cheers
