Screen Replacement

I cracked my screen today and need to replace the lcd. I looked on eBay and it seems like the screens are fairly cheap, are they all the same or should I buy from a particular seller? Does anyone have any experience with any of the eBay vendors?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum
This one looks pretty decent.
http://www.gethightech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=XX2077&Category_Code=DASH
Good luck,

I bought about 5 or 6 allready from ebay, last 3 I got from a guy called jecomgroup. They charge around 16€ (all included), I guess that's around 21$. Delivery is allways from HongKong. Takes around 5 or 6 days to get to Europe (belgium). Never had a problem with them yet.

Can't speak for the ebay vendors, I used this one;

Got the T-5/6 bits from Lowes.

touchscreen replacement possible?
this might be dumb to ask..but i was wondering since it was on the subject of screen replacement, if you were to put a touchscreen glass instead of the regular dash one, it won't make it touchscreen right? 'Cuz the OS doesn't recognize it to be one?

The OS *might* recognize the touchscreen...but how would you interface it? There is no hardware connector!
It is possible to hack touchscreens on mini-notebooks like the Asus EEE, because there are internal USB ports that allow them to be connected to the machine.
To my knowledge, there is no such port in the Dash.
Chuck

thanks for the reply. I've just always wondered..cuz i mean, the touch strip on the end gives it a good little touchscreenesque vibe, being able to scroll and click and what not with it, but it would be pretty awesome if it were touch. Either way, I'm happy with my dash!

[Q] Z1 compact & screen replacement - your advise !

Hello,
I'm a "happy" new owner of a Z1 compact with a now broken screen ...
No money ... so I checked youtube first, then ebay for a do-it-yourself repair (+xda ...) ...
I know now I should pay attention to many things (genuine assembly vs chinese copy, and so on ..., among which sticker and tools)
So, does anyone know a good OEM (chinese) assembly or a cheap genuine one ?
And in case, when buying an assembly, should I pay attention to the "frame" sold sometimes with it ?
Cheers to XDA people (my previous phone was a Sony Arc S modded thanks to Jader Rom ...)

I sent my phone back to Sony when the screen cracked and they fixed it under warranty. Depands what the screen break looks like I suppose. If it's obvious you droped it, then possibly they wont fix it. But mine was a single. very fine, crack running from left to right.
Sorry that didn't answer your question

@Didgesteve : thanks but ... your reply doesn't answer my question (my screen is cracked in 2 points (one long and really thin crack going from top to bottom + one close to the top left) ...
So ... I'm still looking for a cheap but good replacement to Do it myself + answer on the reason some assembly screens are sold with frame ...
Cheers !

Hello,
Is there something wrong with my message ?

I think xabzzz is looking for the actual glass, not screen protectors.
But a quick search on ebay reveals that they are easily available

You are right, when I overflow that thread it looked like it's not only screen protectors.
Anyway, here is the replacement part thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672194

[Q] Screen/digitizer replacement, recommended seller(s)?

Hi
I'm about to try replace my screen on my OPO. There are just so many sellers, it's hard to choose one.
Either way I need the type A with the keypad light.
Many sellers does not specify wither which type or if it's with or without the keypad lights. And sometimes the picutures of the product does not match.
I'm very intrested of which seller from eBay/Alibaba etc you have bought from and are satiesfied with the product.
I want some recommendations so my buy is somewhat more % to work
Thanks.

I have seen the following suggested: vifocal This includes the screen, digitizer, and frame, so it's an easier job to fix than some other purchases. You will still need a sticker for holding down the battery.
There is also a suggestion at the top of the page that is just the screen and digitizer. It is on Alibaba.

Thanks for answer. The Vifocal one I have seen as well. But there is only 1 reference to it as I can find and the communication/support was not so good either. So it does not feel like a good/safe choice.
The alibaba has only 5 sellings and only 2 reviews and 1 one them says defective so that is not a good/safe choice either
Was hoping that there are confirmed good sellers with working product by XDA people
I have already stripped down my broken phone into pieces and only need a new screen to install.

Buy from vifocal, I bought mine from eBay and it has touchscreen issues. The top half of screen registers 2 touches for on and renders it useless so now I have to purchase another. Alibaba/vifocal I would recommend, no matter where you purchase it will be slow shipping from China just stay away from eBay. Also you can use a or b screen they just have to be threaded through different holes in the frame

Buy it from the links you find in my thread "Replacement parts".
They are all Top-Sellers

I saw that thread
But, I can't really find anyone who can say that the screen from Alibaba works as it should. The seller only sold 5 of them and only 2 reviews and one of them was defective. Does not seem like a safe bet? Or do you have tried the screen from Alibaba or knows someone who can tell?

Too late answer Bought it 3 weeks ago
I have a new OPO as well, the other will be a spare one if lights not working. Could be a defect and return screen? Not a problem with type A or B screen/connector?
Will try my new screen this week.

Will the screen really stuck good with only 3M tape?
I have tired the screen and it seems to work and now to go ahead with the real install.
Will only tape work or need some glue of some kind? Thanks.

I replaced my screen with one from eBay. First lcd didn't work but the next did work ok.
I attached the new screen with double sided tape, which I used a lot for sure.

I got some time today to rebuild my borken OPO!
The screen works perfectly! Even the buttons lights up! Not as well as my new phone but still. Screen is really well responsive.

I have made a full test and the phone works good! I was a bit worried as it was droven over by my car Hehe
I bought from the AliExpress seller.

Need some experts advice...

Soo here it goes....a few days ago I dropped my phone vertically ie headphone jack side straight to the ground while I was using it(Thanks to my slippery hands) and now the screen has shattered a little on the bottom around the fingerprint area but everything is fine touch works display works its just the glass above it cracked, I went to a local shop nearby (I dont think going to a lenovo service center with a shattered screen will help as it can only shatter my pocket) and they reckoned it to be around 2400rs or 37$ for a 99% copy I guess and 800rs extra or around 50$ for a original one so I did a little research online and found I can get one display with lcd for as low as 19.60$ on alixpress,I'm confused between these three ones this one's 19$ but no customer or seller reviews but with slight fast shipping in just 15-25 days(https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32856511836.html), other two are about 24$(One's 23.16$ another is 24.20$)with good rating and orders and normal 30 days shipping (https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32796869178.html)(https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32825740296.html) if you have any other suggestions or experience buying one its most welcome, now coming to the tutorial part this one seems legit the best one I found (https://youtu.be/-osJu7OMxVk)this chinese forum post had one guy do it and posted about 100+ pics while replacing it but now I can't seem to open it anymore :crying: (http://bbs.lenovomobile.cn/z2/t260432/) here too if you get any better ones please suggest also there are a tons of teardown videos too if someone can make me understand lol,I'm a noob when it comes to replacements,teardown things and my first time and I have to make sure not to **** up as I can't buy another phone for at least a year,the post I made is lengthy with every details is because some day someone else will be in the same spot and I hope this post comes to their help too...
Now I need answers to these-
1)Can I do it myself or should I get it done for almost the double price considering this will be my first time doing this.
2)The best choice among the lcd+digitalizer according to you
3)A suitable tutorial to do it myself at home
Thanks a lot

Get only the glass replaced by a professional, no need to change the display. It'll cost less than ₹1,000

IF its possible change only digitizer
But that operation cannot be done without special tools for heating etc, putting back can be tricky
As for buying new screen, see if you can find on your local advertising sites some Z2 with dead motherboard
Original is always best
If you buy from Ali, buy the most expensive one because those cheaper can destroy your experience with the phone...
Read feedback always on Ali

I haven't tried to even dissemble any mobile yet so replacing just the digitalizer as said by many is too hard without the required tools and I have none of them I'll try asking any professional once again if not I have to go for aliexpress for the lcd and digitalizer as it can done at home

Also be aware of the fingerprint scanner. I think that should he also disassembled, or ask seller does it have fingerprint scanner with lcd... Read about that
If you don't have experience, I would say go with the service center. Opening this phone can be tricky.

Screen Replacement

So...I polished my HWatch a little too much and wore off part of the bezel.....In my incessant searching, I found this.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...3489-4c2a-acd6-843db467ef02&priceBeautifyAB=0
I hope this helps anyone looking for a replacement bezel / screen. I purchased one myself....waiting for delivery. However, it does not come with a side button. I plan on using mine....but have no idea how to place it on the new bezel. The seller indicates one needs a professional tool, but does not specify what.
Update: They indicate that they have cases with the button. I'm looking forward to replacing my beat up one. $14 for a shiny new watch, can't be beat!

Thanks for your suggestions. May i see what damage have you done to your bezels? Just out of curiosity

Thanks for the information! The contact points on the back of my HW are completely burned. I ordered replacement case + back for $10, allowing me to repair!

Screens are not in stock. Any other link?
