ok so I managed to crack the screen..nice big shatter mark under the screen and now the entire screen went black...insurance is a pain and from what I understand getting Asurion to replace my vibrant will be $130 and buying an AMOLED screen itself is cheaper.
The rest of the phone is still in working condition as before my screen went totally black after it broke some of it was still functional.
Any idea on where I can get the screen? I have not had luck on ebay as of yet, and was hoping someone here could recco a reputable vendor...

Wow wish I would had found this post sooner...
I dropped my vibrant from my and it was in the case.. it landed flat on the screen..glass did not break but AMOLED screen enploded.. I didnt know until i got to my car and tried to make a call. Crap...I dish out the $130.00 bucks ...bummed out about that..
oh man ...
Still great site and price. Thanks
Thanks I'll try cnn.cn. I see some decent reviews about them.
Is there a tutorial on how to replace this? Or would you have to get someone to do it?

youtube.. just search for it..
I cracked my screen also. I found that site after I put in the claim. So I figured what the hell and started taking it apart, for next time.
It isn't easy! I'm pretty nerdy and good with my hands. Be very careful and very patient. There are small parts and wires that can very easily break.

Have you had any luck with this?I own an Orange San Francisco and cracked the amoled,unfortunately orange or any other site/company offers any repair AFAIK. I'm looking into repairing it myself, are amoled connectors compatible from one phone to another or are they manufacturer specific if you are aware of? I know this is a long shot but it doesn't hurt asking.

it would most likely have to be the same part
because the Galaxy S series are the only ones with that size AMOLED screen.
been there done that
i got a vibrant off of something awful for pretty cheap with a broken screen
first off you literally have to pry the screen off of the phone
and the bottom four buttons? there is a very thin ribbon cable that is glued to the screen
there are a few things youll need
1.really small screw driver (i got a glasses repair kit from the dollar store. worked great)
2.something to pry the screen off (used a screw driver from said kit)
3.balls. that ribbon cable is very very easy to break
first off you have to take apart the phone completely
i would even take off the one board that the screen connects to
then you need to pry off the screen very carefully
if your amold or whatever part is broken you're going to have to peel it off
it really sucks and makes you look like a bad 70s disco
after that it gets pretty simple
make sure you have something to hold the top and bottom part to the phone
mine isnt flush due to me being a jackass and not getting the right glue stuff to hold it down
after that it should work perfect like before
if anyone wants to trade me a new screen for the i9000 screen or buy me a screen (lol) i would make a very detailed video (not happy with the way the first attempt turned out)
post itt or pm me if you have any questions
So you are saying it should work,but what about the software part,won't there be any problems?

will the international galaxy s screen work for vibrant they hace same shape compared to captivate. And I9000s screen is cheaper than T959 screen (based on ebay price)
Hi there im a new xperia arc user, well i droped my phone and the glass cracked(very easy). Then i sent it to sony ericson service and they told me that the repair cost is 147 euro . Is that normal price for just a glass? does anybody know?

The glass probly not that much, but the labor I think that is more than anything
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Cost i have no idea..
But with touch screen glass is not just glass..
It could be The Capacitivie touch screeen or the LCD or both..
Just guessing.. No idea what they cost.. You should find out if someone else had an equivalent repiar job done and price they paid..
Yeah i did the same thing, i was told £180 pound.
The screen is fine its the digitizer that is cracked like yours, i picked one up on ebay for £24.
Arrived fine, was OEM. just need to fit it myself, or find someone to fit it for me.
Their is a actual manual from SonyEricsson in .pdf format that explains how to take the screen out.
If you want it, ill try to find it on my laptop
EDIT: Its here anyway's

Hmm ty guys for your help, as i see im gonna pay that 147 euro as i dont think i could manage to put that glass myself..stupid service
you cant get a standalone digitizer for arc. It comes as a pair with digitizer and lcd. I tried changing just digitizer and screen stopped working. You can get it on ebay for about £50
If i understood corectly u bought a digiter and u tried to put it on your own, but screen didnt worked.. would it be waste of time if i tried? what do you think?

That is correct. The screen and the digitizer come as one assembly. When I tried to take the digitizer off on its own the lcd screen back panel ripped off and wouldnt work again.
I see..thank you for your information and your time, u was very helpful to decide what im gonna do.. im gonna give 147 to sony ericson service for not having troubles in my mind!! Anyway, sone ericson dissapointed me..i searched on youtube for instructions to replace the digitizer and lcd on phones (for example nokia) and i found it very easy job, easy enough to do it your self..
if you buy it from ebay its very easy to install it yourself but i will warn you staright away the quality of images will decrease. When I replaced mine i was very disappointed. Blue colours became greener, and lines appeared when tilting phone. Much better to let sony do it but it is very expensive. Nearly half the price of the phone.

The screen quality should only decrease if it's not original screen from sony.
There are screens on ebay that are original.
Beware of imitations.
I'm buying one today so hopefully get my arc back up and put this Vivaz back in the drawer lol
well, good luck with your arc!!
yh says genuine and original but they are not. Post back here see if you can see a difference. I noticed it instantly.

Also Soldier33, how did you manage to pull your screen off, did you disemble the connections then pull it off with a suction cup of something ?
This is my main concern, is pulling the screen off, as i dont think you can push it out from inside the phone !

I might give it a try tomorrow then, will post results, if it goes well.
If it dont go well, i wont be on this forum for a while lol :S
I used the suction cup from my shower sponge lol. It was big enough to hold on and not too small to come off with force. But make sure you pull it from the buttons side not the top or you will rip the ribbon cable.
Thanks for the tips. Also does the screen come out with the digitizer?
I mean are they liked stuck together with glue or any thing?
Because i just need to replace the digitizer, but worry about the screen not staying in

Well, today was a say day for me, for I dropped my HOX on some concrete and shattered the glass, phone still works and lcd isn't damaged... but I was wondering if theres anyone here who knows a decent repair centers in the UK, i've seen this http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/2511...ixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0 and i'm pretty sure thats all I need... I could even try myself
Perhsps HTC can sell us an original part, we could also ask for s one x+ battery. I don't know how much the one x digitisee and glass replacement would cost. The whole svren inc LCD is 160 IIRC so probably less than 100?
I also.have a damaged screen. My concern is whether the. Parts are really originals as claimed, be cause I'd like a real gorilla glass panel. Also, how do I reconnect the connectors I have to unplug to get the screen . Presumably it's obvious otherwise it would have been mentioned in repair guides.
HTC may repair and sell originals, how much for I don't know.
My LCD appears fine usually, but sometimes there is a yellow tint to some of the screen, presumably related to epoxy glue. Also I was pressing down on the Screen and now one of the cracks appear slightly blue Around the edges, not sure if this will change if I replace.
Finally I saw a story on xdA I think of a guy who Bricked his while trying to replace the screen.

From what I have seen in One X screen replacement videos and read in this and other forums the digitizer is not easily separable from the LCD. So most probably you'll have to replace the whole display assembly (i.e digitizer + LCD screen).
Nope
None of the replacement parts in this thread so far are close to genuine, and will be cheap crap.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320929331645?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
This is what a genuine replacement looks like, and costs. If it's under £100, forget it; it's crap. If it comes as separate parts, it's crap. The One X screen is bonded at the factory across the entire area of the screen - you will never get a good screen if you assemble it yourself, or even if a repair centre does it. You'll get an air gap between the LCD and digitizer, and therefore it will look awful in daylight.

Call up HTC. I've done some research, seems to agree with what is posted above.
I feel your pain.. I have a small crack on the side of my S3 screen. How bad is it? If its smalland on the side check out an overlay Luke by Spectre. They are about 4mm thick and are cut to cover the whole face of the screen

Hi everyone!!!
I have changed my HTC One X screen because of some issues, and I have kept it to test its resistance
I have been so surprise because it's just so amazing!
Don't forget to thanks and thumbs up if you like
Tested:
- Screen vs Pen
- Screen vs Keys
- Screen vs Screwdriver
- Screen vs Scissors
- Screen vs Knife
And the results is just awesome, we don't need screen protection ^^
Stop speaking, let's go to watch!!
Enjoy
Moreover if you want to compare the original screen S-LCD2 vs my LCD screen replacement, here is the review:

How about a power drill ??
Why would you get LCD instead of SLCD? They put that in the repair center? As I left my phone for repair and screen replacement today cause of yellow spot, I'm just curious. If they put LCD instead of SLCD in mine I'm sure that I wont accept it

Very nice video thank you!
I didn't do the tests you did but I'm very happy with the screen.
It's the first device I use without a screen protector, 6 months and not the tiniest scratch.
I've been with my hox on the beach as well, curious about the sand test.
Would be cool if it can resist. :laugh:

And the reason sand scratches the HOX is because it has a MOHS level of 9.
Hi, so I dropped my One X on the road and before I noticed it, I stepped on it.. It's the first time my phone is damaged after more than a year of using it. Aside from having scars all over it's white body, nothing much happened to the camera, audio, etc.
The bit that I cannot live with is a small burn line that appears yellow and red/pinkish on the center right edge on the screen, it appears more on white backgrounds i.e. browsers, etc.. It's really annoying, I have no warranty nor insurance, and I have no clue on what it actually is.
Can anyone give me a clue on what exactly is it, how to fix it, and how much would it cost? Thanks.

here you are man there is even the back cover if u want
One X replacement
I think the colouration is due to permanent pressure applied on that part of the screen. Perhaps when you stepped on it you caused some internal component to shift and apply pressure on the screen from inside. I suggest getting a replacement back cover (pretty cheap), open the device, unscrew the motherboard and rescrew see if the pressure point is relieved. Then go ahead and replace the cover and theres a good chance all will be back to normal.
There's a ton of disassembly videos on YouTube. It's pretty easy - I just did it for the first time this week to swap a damaged battery.
