A friend has dropped his orbit and it no longer lights up the screen, if anybody is interested in buying it then pm me, the phone itself still works, and it is unlocked to any network, you just cant see whats happening on the screen as thats not lighting up, there is a crack on the outer casing but the screen looks intact, no cracks etc on it, best offer secures.
Whats the price?

Hello guys,
My PDA2k's screen is getting all scratched and I'm blaming myself for not getting screen protection.
Anyway, my PPC is still on warranty from i-Mate Dubai. Would they replace the screen for free? Anyone knows?
Thanks in advance.
Hey man, true story - my screen has a crap load of scratches everywhere, but once you put a screen protector over it you cannot see them or feel them. Trust me, it works with my xda iis, and my xda ii. It's never too late to get one ;-).
Oh nice. But still, if it's free, then I would get a new screen and a protective cover for it. Won't do any harm.
i dont think manufacturer (sp) warrenty would cover scratches............ you find that they only repair free of charge if it is a hardware or software issue within 12 months of purchase. meaning if something inside has gone faulty and it aint your fault.
since scratches were not on the device when it left there warehouse, it aint covered, lol 8)
Hi guys I dissamble several times my xda Orbit using a maual posted in this excellent forum, but a month ago my Orbit fall down and some tears are broken in the side of the front cover, and dont close well.
I buy a replacement housing but I dont know how transfer the leds and vibrator to new housing without kill it
Please anybody do this before, let me know how you did it?
If you did with a Artemis and not a Orbit let me know too?
Or if you know that somebody have a broken Orbit but the front cover is intact and he/she want to sell, let me know please.
I have original parts of artemis from dead devices. PM me.
Hi.
my question says it all.
i have a perfect galaxy nexus screen. no weird grid. no weird uneven colors. nothing. just perfect. however, i have few scratches by mistake on the screen " digitizer it self "
is it possible to replace the digitizer without replacing the screen ? money isnt an issue even if its the price of a new phone. its just i have OCD and i do like my screen perfect.
so . is it possible to replace the digitizer alone ? " even if i have to buy them both lcd screen and digitizer ", i will keep the new screen extra for future
I don't think the digitizer is up for sell separately yet.

I've read that the glass is fused to the housing and display but I'm interested in this as well as I have a spec of dust under my screen.

I'm unable to post links yet, so go to iFixit and search for "Galaxy Nexus teardown". Seems the screen and digitizer are fused together, sorry

i did go to that site before you post it. thanks for trying to help. however i am just wondering that even if they are fused together, can i still take them apart ?
i really dont want to lose that screen
Hopefully the overall quality will improve with the samoled displays in the near future and buying a replacement housing/digitizer will almost guarantie you a good result (dont hold me to it though, just wishfull thinking).. i have some micro scratching aswell (seems to be a normal problem with this device) but only really visable under a really strong super-led flashlight. I'm starting to feel ok with it however and decided to wait with getting a replacement till the price has gone down.

I read that one of the members here used a blow dryer on the screen and used a suction cup to remove the screen on their Galaxy S II. If these two devices were constructed similarly then this method may have some merit.

the "super" in super amoled means the digitizer and screen are fused together.
i dropped my phone from about 3 feet and broke under my screen but not the screen itself can anyone recommend a good company to buy these parts from??
There's a guy from HK selling it on eBay here. However that means that you'd need to change it yourself. I have looked at the ifixit website about the assembly of the device; however it depends on how comfortable each one is with changing it themselves.
It is quite expensive as well... I will still get a quote from Samsung prior to venturing with this option.

To the OP
Where are you getting the digitizer from? If it is sold as fused with the screen, then there's not much trying to tear the combo apart and getting it to look like a machine job will be a challenge. I assume you'd need to build a clean room setup somehow...
Anyways you could possibly verify if the screen quality is to your standards with the eBay seller I mentioned above and buy on that arrangement; however getting the other side to agree/be honest may not be easy.
Instead, why not buy the best screen protector? Those wet ones you get nowadays. Not only will it get rid of the scratches but will also protect your phone for a long time...I think that is a better cheaper investment unless you are sitting on a pile of....cash...

I have since this post received 2 more scratches and both is showing quite easy with screen off in normal lighting, last one i got today and that one´s really bugging me since it looks like something rubbed against the screen a few times.. I always.. always always! only keep my phone in my pocket on my jacket with a plastic zipper and only a microfiber cloth goes in the same pocket.. digitizer actually feels weaker then my old X10's which (apart from that i dropped it and cracked a corner a month before getting the GN) looks rather good to have been tossed around and been riding my workpants which has been everything BUT clean.. a few deep scratches but 18 months of abuse, i'd say it's in good condition! I refuse to put a screenprotector on this phone, initially i did get one.. that one scratched during installation using a regular creditcard and it just looked terrible with the peeling around the edges so, no more protectors.... and i (along with other here at the forum) believe that it is not actually the glass that scratches but rather the oleophobic coating getting scratches.. because the scratches are really really thin but clearly visible.. it's a shame.. but when the next scratch comes, i'm gonna stop being anal about it and just toss it in my right jeans pocket where the phones usually go.. never in my workpants though.. that would kill the coating in a day.
Guys, I´m having a problem for wich the answer is either...
a) I´m the most unlucky guy in the earth.
b) The warranty guys are cheating on me.
or c) This is the poorest built quality on a phone, ever!
Well, problem is that I bought a white R800i a month ago and after a week I noticed that the plastic around the screen glass (on the thinnest part of the plastic around the screen) was cracked on 4 points, one on bottom left, one on bottom right, another on top right and another one on the very right edge of the screen.
So, I sent it to warranty and they said they would give me a brand new one. Once I received it (within 15 days of delay, gotta say), I checked if it didn´t have the problem, and apparently it didn´t. Yesterday I noticed that the small cracks was there, in the EXACT same locations. Maybe it wasn´t appearing because it´s white, so maybe the cracks appeared whith some dust inside them.
So, maybe they are cheating on me, and just hidden the cracks with some kind of white paint or something, don´t know.
Or, maybe the built quality is so bad that it breaks on it´s own. I´m really hopping this is not the case, because I really LOVE this phone! I don´t wan´t to switch to GSII or alikes.
Wow, huge post, sry! Thx for your help!
Could anyone help please? I need to know if this problem is normal, if it happened to someone else. If it´s a common problem, I will need to ask for a refund and buy some other smartphone. Thx!

Hey guys. My wife just broke her gs3. She lost it in the snow on some stairs and while looking for it it fell off the side of the stairs and dropped about 6 ft onto concrete. I have an otterbox defender case for her but no matter how much I tell her to put it om she rarely does. Needless to say, I am less than thrilled. So.... the phone turns on and the capacitive buttons light up, she can hear notifications but the screen is black. Looks fine until close inspection but then you can see a small crack under the glass (im assuming its the lcd panel.) So how can I fix this? I am fairly good at taking stuff like this apart as im always working on radios, tv's, and other electronics at work.
Search here or youtube there is a vid with step by step on replacing the gorilla glass and im not sure if that includee the digitizer or not.
My sister cracked that screen underneath too. She took it into Sprint and they said there was no way they could replace it, because its not the glass on top, its the one underneath
She had to activate her old OG EVO and is just stuck waiting for her next upgrade now.

Same thing happened to me a couple months ago, yeah Sprint said they couldn't fix it, I had to pay for a new one, even with full insurance. Honestly I'd just try searching eBay or something for a Samsung Galaxy S3 OLED panel, and YouTube for instructions. I wish you luck sir!

You would need to replace the screen and the LCD which i believe are sold seperatly but have been known to be prone to issues if you don't purchase them together that being said it will cost you around 70-80 to replace yourself and sprint WILL replace the screen you just have to pay around 100-150 for the new screen and installation

It's not the screen that's cracked, it's only the LCD (actually an OLED screen). Trust me I went to the corporate Sprint store by me in NYC and they said they could not fix it, they could only replace the front glass screen.
like everyone said its the digitizer underneith, theres a guy on you tube, name is L35505 or L3SSONS or some stuff. he does a FULL replacement i think. will help you alot. be careful, take a saterday, kick out the kids and everyone and you shouldnt have any problems
