Scratch Removal

So I think my stylus put 3 vertical scratches down the screen of my nearly brand new Touch Pro 2. It wouldn't be a big deal but they're really annoying because i can see them when the screen is on. Anyway, this is the top option right now unless you guys know of anything else that could work
Displex: wirelessground.com/saguaki.html
Also I see a lot about toothpaste, but theres about 3 billion kinds and I'm pretty sure I'd pick the one that would just mess it up more.
Thanks!

i've used displex before. make sure u apply very little and wipe gently.
its basically like a sand paper jelly that, if you keep rubbing more and more, will eat away your screen.
just use very little and you'll be fine.

as an alternative, buy a screenprotector (i would recommend brando) and put it on the display.
the scratches will mostly "vanish" behind the protector and the display is protected against further scratches.

An extreme case would be to buy a new digitizer (~$30)
and assemble it.

that site states that it is "[FONT=arial, helvetica]Not for use with touch screen displays." [/FONT]I have an HTC Wizard that i want to send to HTC for the rebate program but the LCD is heavily marked up from using the device without a screen protector.
I just installed a InvsiShield full body protector on my tilt 2 the other day after it got a couple small scratches, with the protector on, you can't notice the scratches.

[Q] Need some advice please - HTC TOUCH PRO 2 T-MOBILE

Hello,
I have a HTC touch pro 2 and I removed the sticky thing (looks something like below)

I did this to fix the "oil spill of death" which made my digitiser unresponsive anyways... thats a different question...
I removed it and now it is all dirty and covered with gunk - its no good coming back on my screen. So without it my phone works and here are my options:
A) Buy a new sticker off ebay for $22
B) Dont buy a sticker, but use my full mirror screen protector instead.
I just dont know the role of that sticky thing. Could someone please help me out?
Cheers!

Okay, you need that sticky thing, because it's your touchscreen!
Without it, your phone is very hard to use.
Just get one of ebay, stick it onto your phone connecting the cable, and it should work again.

Thats the first layer of your screen!
Can you send me the ebay link

Hi
Hi,
Well my touch screen works fine without it. Its not on ebay (by itself) but I can buy a digitiser that comes with the sticker.
I dont know what to do.
Thanks

Well, then you probably haven't pulled off the complete digitizer. It should have a connector to it. If it hasn't, you only pulled off the top layer. Either way, you should replace it, because if something happens to your phone now, it is unprotected.

Thanks steyn_e I think your probably right!

That is pretty special, i havent seen anyone before who hade just half of his digitizer pulled off.
Good luck with repairing it.
Steyn

yeah thanks.
i chose not to buy a new digitiser because the sticker is not sold seperately, I guess a screen protector PLUS a hard case will do the job. If I buy a new digitizer, I have to peel off the sticker...... or replace the digitiser. I dont want to get messy so ill take the easy n cheap option

UPDATE: disassembling & replacing lcd screen/digitizer

has anyone attempted to disassemble the arc yet, i friend just bought his (after breaking infuse screen) and broke this 1 too...the touch screen on top if fine the lcd panel itself is torn/cracked was wondering if any1 has tried to take it apart yet..google didnt help.
btw had to order a replacement screen from hong kong..not available in u.s yet

cant be done. Must buy the lcd + digitizer together. I tried separating the digitizer from screen and ended breaking the lcd. It just showed up black and nothing else.

I've done it myself after I lost my Arc on the pavement. It's not that hard really. It took me an hour or so to complete the exchange. The hardest part is splitting the screen and backframe (or what it's called) from each other. There are lots of clipses holding this beast together.
But it can be done

Lol an hour sounds time consuming...on a side note tho the design of it seems flawed. my friend sat on it with the phone in the back pocket. i do this with all my phones and never had a screen issues...i think the curved back may have bent the screen more than my friends fat a$$
sent as pixels travelling on an invisble superhighway!! via XDA App on the s#ift

UPDATE: finally got the screen from hong kong for 66$, it was easy to take apart, actually 1 of the easiest ive taken apart so far. the motherboard chip set separates easily from the front housing holding the lcd and digitizer, theres also a guide available on how to disassemble it on xda. thinking about getting my own arc now...hmmm

[Q] broken display repair

My wife decided my original kf needed to be thrown against the wall.
It works but the LCD is busted.
Exactly what part and from where do I need to replace it? (United states)

Ordered this. Hope it's right part. If not please tell me if anyone knows. I think my digitizer is OK because things move when I touch the screen.

Looked at the instructions as well looks like the LCD is attached to a front glass panel which may be the only part needing replacement. It is composed of the black frame with clear glass inside. The way it appears is that part you ordered is underneath the glass panel itself.

Yes I believe that has a clear glass panel in it according to ifixit`s instructions.

I`m saying if glass face is broken the part that you are showing is what he needs.

The glass isn't broken just the LCD under it
So now I'm confused... Is that the right part still because I placed the order already

As I understand there is the LCD and the digitizer right?
So my glass panel on top isn't shattered just the LCD

So which are you planning on replacing, the wife or the LCD panel?
Just kidding man

Here you go. This should help.

Lol @ 2 commandments

Waiting on the stupid little pry tool to come. I thought it would come before the lcd came. I used to repair iPods professionally (7+ years ago) and we would just use thin plastic screwdrivers..and we would always inevitably dent the metal iPod casing so we became masters at bending it back with our fingers in between our t-shirts...
anyhow I thought I would order the "new age" piece of plastic stick pry tool that exists nowadays for $2.50. with free shipping

Idiots sent wrong part. Figured it out after entire KF was in pieces and half reassembled.

[Q] Cracked Screen - Which part needs replacing?

Hi all,
Just my luck, and what a way to start the new year!
My nephew managed to knock my phone off the table and onto the tiled floor, cracking my Galaxy Note 2 N7105's screen. (My new case comes in tomorrow T_T)
It has a big smash to the glass front, and I was just wondering if someone could tell me which bit was broken? E.g the glass or the digitiser etc, and how much it would cost to fix?
The phone still works PERFECTLY, S-Pen works flawlessly too, so I'm guessing it's just the front and not the digitiser that's the problem.
Here's a picture of the damage.

The digitiser or just the front glass screen? If it' the digitiser it'll cost me over £100
However, if it's the glass, it'll cost me £15.

You only need to change the front glass. The glass itself doesn't cost much you can get one easily from eBay. Unfortunately the glass is bonded to the LCD by strong adhesive and you need to carefully remove it so as to not cause any further damage to the display. You need some tools and also hair dryer/heat to remove carefully. You can search in YouTube for tutorials before proceeding to try on your own. Good luck :good:

Just wondering if you tried changing the glass? I have the same problem and am trying to decide if it's within my abilities to tackle this

Wow, maybe your lucky, search on YouTube there are many videos of how to fix your digitizer. And you need heater, i think hair dryer can help, tiny both side tape, and free time.
