The PHONE part of Artemis will works correct,but LCD is need to be changed. You can buy artemis with broken motherboard,but good LCD for example and install it in your device. Use ebay =) i think you can find it there , good luck! ) write us about your success
Thanks very much for advice,appreciated.Off to Ebay now
how are you?
I am barely surviving without a fully functioning phone.Got a screen off eBay but the item is in Hong Kong so I have a long wait.
you are waiting for delivery?
the operation of change will be carry out by youself? =)
I just want some photo how you will do it, for my website =)

Hi all,
I just recently got hold of a XDA Orbit which the previous owner had dropped off a roof (don't ask! ) The screen broke when it hit the floor and it has cracked and just appears white when you turn it on.
I know the system is still running because I can hear the sound effects when turning the volume up/down so I think it's still working ok....
So what I'd like to do is buy a replacement screen off eBay and fit myself. Does anyone know how hard it is to do this? I've got the Artemis-Inside PDF and although it's a great help in seeing how to get inside the thing, it doesn't really show how to replace the screen....
I'm assuming I can just disconnect the ribbon cable and pull the old screen out and then just put the new screen back in??
I hope it's that easy anyway! If anyone knows then it'd be a great help to me,
Thanks for any replies!
Jon.
Sounds difficult according to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312382&highlight=screen
Hmm that's not quite the same problem as I have.... that poster was just trying to replace the "touch" part of the screen whereas I'm going to try and replace the whole LCD + "touch"
This is what I'm hoping to buy: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Genuine-O...5QQihZ002QQcategoryZ10364QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and by the looks of the picture on the auction and the picture in that other post, the screen is the same as the original Orbit screen....

This is for 'touch' part only wich is very difficult, because the lcd and touch are the same part... i've try the same (because of price) with no result because the connector was not the same and i can't detach the lcd part of the 'touch' part, so i manage change the all without difficult.

Hi SuperMimi, thanks for your reply, I'm going to take the plunge and order a new screen!
Thanks again!
(If I remember, I will post back and let you all know how it goes.. )
Yep, got it all swapped out with the new screen but the PDF I'd downloaded didn't help in the slightlest!
Maybe the UK model has been slightly re-designed? I don't know but I did take some shots which I'll put into a PDF at some point. Who knows, it might help someone else out.

Hi Jonathan,
Can you put those shots into a pdf please and also send me instructions. My screen just cracked, I've ordered a replacement and needed instrustions much appreciated.
Disassemble XDA Orbit
I've posted the instructions I followed on another forum.

Hope it helps, and it was fairly straight forward to replace the screen unit.

So, I pulled my Dash out of my pocket today, and found that the top 1/3 of the LCD is grey!!! It's only the top third, the rest of the screen is fine. It's almost like the screen is foggy on top, where you can see the icons but its grey. Please please please help me what should i do???
NOTE: I reflashed it with TMOBILE's ROMS and HTC's, and no change. PLEASE GIVE ME ANY ADVICE YOU HAVE AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTIONS!!!! THANKS!!!
I work with LCD's and it sounds like the LCD has cracked, it will only take a hairline crack but if the crack has gone thru one of the tracks etched into the glass you will need a new LCD. You can get a new one on Ebay and I am sure you will be able to find some instruction on how to fit a new LCD if you Google it.
Fair enough. Isn't it possible that the ribbon connector is just loose? It's like a perfect 1/3rd of the screen, which makes me wonder if it's really something like a crack. Is that still possible? For example, when i reflashed it, the top bar of the bootloader (red) was perfectly the only part that was grey...
Dude, the screen is messed up. What do you want us to do about it ? There's any magical software fixes or advice we can give you. Either take the phone apart and see what's wrong (if you're technically inclined).. or get another phone!
So it's for sure the LCD?

That certainly looks like a faulty LCD to me
yup. i just sent mine back a few months ago for the same problem.
Hi guys
I hope everyone is well
A week or 2 ago i noticed a pink line down the right hand side of my screen
ALso the bottom of the screen was slightly pink although i could see the text.
Gradually over the last couple of weeks the pink at the bottom of the screen has nearly filled the whole screen. The bottom of the screen is now turning from pink to grey.
Obviously i believe this to be a screen/LED problem
I have looked on ebay and found screens with digitizers but I am not sure if this will do the job or it needs another part with it
can someone please point me in the right direction...preferably with links
thanks in advance

Hi mate, I recently changed the screen and digitizer on my phone. If it's just the screen thats broken then you only need a screen, however you need to be VERY careful when taking out the screen from the digitizer, as if you break the connector to the digitizer then you will need to buy a new one too! Search youtube for "bravo disassembly procedure" or something along those lines, it's the official htc video.
It's actually pretty straightforward to do, and you don't need to treat it as gently as nitro glycerine either, as long as you don't use too much excess force.
Thanks
Hi mate
thanks for the reply
I have seen those videos around and got one in my favourites already
By the sound of my problem do you think i will just need a screen and digitizer or will i need more

Hi guys
Anyone managed to have a look at this?
anyone
sorry to post again
anyone able to comment on this? please
Hey sorry mate.. Hmm if it wasn't the screen then it must be something else... I don't want to tell you what it is for you to aimlessly keep buying stuff, because it's just not worth it. If it wasn't the screen then it could be so many other things.
Hi,
I've just replaced screen digitizer on my gf's Galaxy Ace II, which was run over by a car, but I have issues with it.
The problem is that the upper half of the display doesn't react to touches at all. Well, except for the very upper left corner,
so the status bar can be dragged down, although not 10 out of 10 times. The lower half of the display works without problems.
I was very careful during the replacement procedure and I alligned the digitizer's connector with the line on the motherboard.
I didn't use force at all (except for the disassembly), used no sharp tools and I didn't bend anything at all, so I believe I haven't physically
damaged the screen.
I suspect the unit I received may be faulty, although I highly doubt a cheap non-original screen sent from china could be faulty :laugh:
But before I am marked a fool for trusting eBay, is there anybody with the same issue and possible solution? Is there a possibility it just
needs recalibration, or hard reset?
Any help would be appreciated. I said to my gf I can handle that and don't want to disappoint her
Thanks in advance
Omg! How did your phone manage to run over by a car,!! Give it to Samsung! Don't try doing anything by yourself!

I couldn't find a guide myself, so I had to improvise, however I managed to do it the same way as it was described in the tutorial, except for
chipping the glass parts of the screen off. The problem is most probably in the screen digitizer. I already contacted the seller and he offered
to send me a new screen, however I can't be sure it will be working properly.
But thanks for the link, at least I can be calm that I haven't screwed anything during the process
Hey, so as the title suggests I dropped my phone which caused a crack at the lower right corner.
Now I remember when the phone only came out everyone were saying its not possible to only change the screen and that you need to change the screen plus the amoled screen and digitizer.
Now I after searching the forums I saw this thread-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946828
It looks very promising but its also quite old.
I was wondering if anyone had any recent experience with replacing just the glass screen of the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Also his link for the New Adhesive is dead, can anyone provide me with a link to a new adhesive? or it doesn't really matter which one I buy off ebay.
Thanks a lot! I really like this phone and hopefully I wont have to replace tons of stuff to get the screen fixed.

Same thing happened to me last week. I think it is quite possible to change just the glass, but i haven't tried it yet.

It is possible to change just the glass :fingers-crossed:. We just did that using a string. There is a video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7BmmDCKBgQ :good:
