I don't mean to sound ingorant but I'm not sure how I tell.
Are you looking for possibility to fix cracked screen or you going to sell broken PDA?
If you want to fix - the first thing you need is to find specialist, who can open your PDA and perform repair. Actually, there are two different boards, one of them is for Sony display and other one - for Toppoly display. If you need repair - it does not matter. All you need - is to obtain probably any display with working 3.5" touchscreen - I saw a lot of such display assemblies with broken LCD and working touchscreen. Then specialist can remount working touchscreen from broken assembly to yours - some soldering work definitely is needed. Then, if this one enough experienced, you may get your PDA working.
Or let us know, what coutry you are from and which way you'll accept payment (if you want to sell broken as is).

Hi you guys, does anyone know if you disamble the artemis easy and replace the touch screen? ( i was mad and smashed it, i kind of regret it, i know i shoud get anger management !). The phone is working fine, since i can connect it to my pc, the only problem the screen is black!
any guys any ideas or experience?
thank you.
hi, depending on which part you have broken, will depend on how much it will cost. Its fairly easy to change tho. If you have a look in the Wiki there is a guide to repairing the Artemis.
There are two parts to the screen the 'touch' bit on top (digitiser) and the actual LCD screen. If it is just the touch bit that has broken, then you can get a replacement one for around £7 on eBay. If the LCD has broken (which i am guessing it has caus u said it is just a black screen) then you can get a digitiser and a LCD for around £30. It is easier to replace both, as it is just a unit which is stuck in with double sided tape. WARNING: the ribbon cable which plugs into the main board from the screen is VERY fragile!
Hope this helps
broken screen
there are two different screen modules available for the Artemis. They are NOT interchangeable. In one case touch-screen module and LCD screen are seperate and in the other case they are both integrated into one module.
regards,
Bjorden
your gonna have to open it like i did, and find out which screen!.. also the touch screen is replaceable but its a ***** to do.. just get the whole screen on ebay 40 usd lcd and touchscreen very simple plug and play

The best price I've seen for the touchscreen is on ebay. But, there are a few catches...
First issue: There are two different LCD/touchscreen assemblies that were used on the angel. One is made by Sony, the other by Toppoly. The touchscreen or LCD from one can not be used on the other due to programming and physical layout.
Second issue (and this is probably the biggest): The way they touch screen and the LCD are connected is a major pain in the arse to fix. It's a plastic ribbon cable that has been soldered to a point on another ribbon cable. Unless you are very good at soldering, it's not something I'd attempt due to the largish chance of melting the cables and making things worse, not to mention the potential to hurt the LCD itself.
If you look in the wiki under the hacks and tweaks, the Technical Stuff (including disassembly) link has two pages to look at:
Blue Angel/PPC6600 Disassembling Procedure with Pictures
Blue Angel Spare Screen
While they are not the best pictures, the last image under the disassembling section shows the ribbon cables I'm referring to, and the touchscreen assembly picture for the spare screen page shows a sony touchscreen ribbon cable detached from the LCD cable, which will show the connection points I'm referring to.
I've got this exact issue as well on my O2 branded angel. Due to the cost of a new LCD/touchscreen assembly (almost the cost of a working angel), I'm considering trying to solder a new touchscreen. If I ruin it, well, I've got parts for the next one I get.
I replaced a touch sreen today, its not that bad if you have soldered before. Unfortunatly the screen i got of ebay is not perfect and will need replacing. I have contacted the seller to see if he will send me another one.
Its worth doing!

I've soldered plenty of times (a bit out of practice tho), but never something like that.
Any tips and suggestions? My main worry is melting the ribbon cables.
Well, no real tips, just take you time and don't rush it. The plastic can stand quite a bit of heat, i never managed to melt it, The job looks harder that it realy is. you will need a steady hand! Also , taping the connector down before you solder helps.

Ok, that's good to know. The plastic didn't look all that durable, but if it's stouter than it looks, I may check with the house controller (aka CFO aka my wife ) and see if we can spare the dosh to pick one up.
I have to be careful as she wants it once it's fixed!

There is a disassembly guide in the wiki.
What kind of screwdrivers are needed to remove those tiny screws on the LCD/ digitizer casing. I have 2 SX66's with broken LCDs and one with a broken digitizer. Time for some repairs.

this is the code written behind my LCD. I have the O2 XDA IIs.
Is there anything else I need to look at aswell? or should I just buy a LCD with that code?!

Interesting. Looks like the LCD used varies depending on when the phone was made.
My O2 has the Sony LCD.

Cables and the wiki. The link I posted shows the difference between the two.
And yes, you will have to get the same LCD assembly/glass cover as what you have now. The two are not interchangeable.
There is a tool set you can purchase at radioshack that has the proper tip. Its a cheaply made tool but does the job. It is one of the kits with many bits. It would be the star tip. You can also order the tool online. I've taken mine apart a few times. Its sort of a pain but gets easier the more times you do it (replaced my screen three times). I have however, never been able to get the touch to work again because I can't really see how I would be able to solder such a fine ribbon. Ive had my mogul for almost a year and if my memory serves me the metallic strips are only about an 1/8th of an inch thick or less. I got lazy and put a piece of tape across the ribbon and put a small amount of glue to hold it down. Still didnt work. Didn't really expect it to either, but it was worth a shot. I turned it into insurance said I lost it and ended up with a broken 6600 and when I called to complain they sent me a mogul. So it's been awhile but I loved the phone. Hope this helps out.
dont scare the people
it can be replaced in 15 minutes with proper tools (screwdrivers)
i ve found some russian manual with pictures how to disasemble the BA (just look for it on the net) and its very easy, no need for soldering
there are 2 versions of displays, one have silver ribbon and the other have golden
when you opet your BA you ll see the display and the ribbon, also there is serial number of the display so you can check it too... all BA displays on the ebay have info about the ribbon and the serial number
I bought it for about 30$ and works perfectly, as original one...
buy digitizer and screen in one piece
you have to be total noob to have problems with changing of the display, so go for it !
If you are planning to replace the digitiser YES you do need to some fine soldering, all you need is the correct soldering iron tip for fine soldering and it is possible, done it about 4 times so far and everytime I promise myself not to brake it again but hahaha,
You can buy the LCD + digitiser together if you are unable to do soldering,
I use a razor which i took out from my shaver and thats what I use to seperate digitiser from lcd.
There are very cheap digitiser panels on EBAY, However some of these are not so good and ( digitiser is a 2 layer glass assy.) sometimes little area of this 2 layers stick together making touch screen non responsive.
Alternative is look out for spares, repairs sales if the screen is good buy it replace it, if you are a novice when it comes to these things, just take your time and dont rush it, even if it helps make little notes when you are opning the device as it ll make it easy when it comes to puting it back together.
And if you can get your hands on one keep a spare screen
Im sooo sad
I just cracked my screen I really hope I get a replacement cus I got more attached to my BA ever since I found out I could upgrade it. I thought it was not a biggie crashing it because I have dropped so many times and nothing happened but today something happened...
screen is 30$ at ebay, and no need to be sad, in few days it can be fixed
Hi. I just got a used HTC One X phone, but the digitizer is cracked. I understood that I can't change only the digitizer, so I wanna buy a digitizer+LCD display assebmly. Now I have a problem. Reading on the internet I found that there are 2 different screens, with green and yellow flex cable. Which one is for my phone? I have the international version with Tegra 3.

if you are going to change it youself then best to open your hox and match the serial number
My idea was to open the phone after I have all parts (want to change the housing and display assembly) from ebay. I saw that they ship the parts with tools, because now I don't have any.
Sorry for double post, but I wanted to tell you that I managed to change my LCD display. I bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111039746173?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 and I am very glad. I didn't noticed any contrast/color differences. Everything worked as it should, except vibrate, which doesn't work anymore and I don't know why, I triple checked the connectors of the vibrator.
If someone want to change by himself, just go to service I had a very hard time to take the phone apart (I also changed the back case cover).
Oh, the old LCD had panel_vendor and panel_id 944701. Same with the new one.
I have the "much loved" yellow spots which is a well known issue. I can't return my device to htc because I changed the battery for the HOX+ by myself. So I guess there no more warranty for that device
Now heres my question: the spots got a bit weaker but the won't disappear since a few weeks now. Should I just change the LCD or should I cange the LCD and the digitizer?

You only need to replace LCD. separating digitizer is very difficult and may get damaged in the process. best option is to go for lcd + digitizer as single unit.

I did some kind of mobile phone doctor when I was 16 and repaired Sony Ericsson's software and also hardware. SO I have some tools left and lots of experience. Do you think I might get this thing done and only change the LCD?

I'll give that one a try. thanks mate :good:
Hey guys my screen is broken, but the touch screen is not, but some guys told me to buy the touch screen too. If someone here got broke his mi max and he replace the screen please I would like to know which screen he bought... I heard a lot of things about the colours. That the market screens are not original and the colours are very weak. So PLEASE.. I need you IMMEDIATELY
In generally...
Firs of all check with Aida64 which panel is used as their is more than one used in Mi Max. Usually it is Tianma R63350 & all do Tianma have a very good distribution network across the EU you won't find any references for this particular display. Second part should be to check if it's just touch panel/protective glass broken or you need a complete set (touch, glass, LCD).
Digitizer/glass will cost you 8.30$
https://www.parts4repair.com/touch-screen-digitizer-for-xiaomi-mi-max-white/
Complete pack with LCD/Digitizer and glass will cost you 35~36$ (tip don't pay more for it).
https://www.parts4repair.com/complete-screen-assembly-for-xiaomi-mi-max-white/
Warning; before purchasing the set be certain to see & confirm (from seller side) how its a same LCD display!
For additional info, finding possible better deal, replacement guides and cetera just search in browser for "xiaomi mi max display replacement".
My personal advice is that when you purchase the part's gave them for replacing to skilled professional in mobile services repair shop close to you & naturally try to bargain about the price.
Best regards.
I just bought whatever was cheapest on eBay. I haven't noticed any issues with the screen but the three buttons below the screen are no longer evenly lit, it used to bother me but now I don't even notice.
I have never replaced the touchscreen and screen separately, but when trying to replace my screen I definitely broke both so I would recommend buying both parts. Try to get the glue for the screen too! I had to use some super glue so I am pretty sure I can never replace it again.

Dude this is a OEM screen, I am very sure that the colours won't be the same as the original's.. I bought from dragon-tt.Com about 77 euros almost... Screen and touch, and frame-back panel
