hey guys,
a few weeks ago my phone fell down, then I try to turn it back on. the device can be turned on (with htc distinctive sound), but there is no display that appears. ALL BLACK (but phone is working). there is only light at the end of the LCD screen my htc.
anyone know the cause?
IMHO, it might be a hardware issue: a unplugged/broken cable or component.
If so, I would advise you to go to a repair store.
Or in case you feel confident enough to take a look inside your phone yourself, I found this video a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zc0k994Pl4
But such an operation is at your own risk.
If somebody else could give you other things to try out before opening your phone ?
The way you describe it sounds like the digitizer is damaged and will have to be replaced. I think ebay has them for $30ish with the tools you'll need to replace it. If you're not comfortable with that type of project a cell phone store is your best bet.
edit: make sure you purchase the entire assembly (LCD & Digitizer) if you do decide to take this on because having to separate the LCD from the digitizer is a crap job which requires a heat gun and a lot of patience.

Hello,
i have broken the amoled on my phone, its just the amoled. the touch and gorilla glass are just fine, i can answer call or make call sometime ( without seeing ).
i searched ebay and found digitalizer but amoled.
please tell me what i need and where can i get them. i like to have genuine Samsung's products.
looking forward to your immediate response.
Thanks
To my knowledge the digitizer and LCD are fused together meaning you have to replace both

Thank you so much

i wish i could, the phone did't come with warranty
pretty sure the digitizer and lcd are a one piece, u might just have to get the lcd or else if ur confident open it up and have a look see if u can see any obvious problems
Is that meaning that NO warranty for the LCD??? curious about it
If you want to replace it yourself then you're going to need to buy a whole new screen unit. Even then it will be risky and fiddly replacing it. Unless you're an electrician you don't stand a chance replacing individual units. Replacing a digitizer on its own requires soldering anyway, a sure fire way to kill your phone if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Joined the club this morning unfortunately. My touch screen still works, so like many, I just have to replace the front part.
I've read this thread almost in its entirety, but nobody mentions having any success. Has anybody tried replacing the screen themselves? Does anybody know if you can use a blowdryer instead of a heat gun?
Also, where are most people buying replacements? I see the one from China, but I'm a little wary of those so considering this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617614
I've replaced laptop and mobile screens in the past (back in the HTC 8525 days), but not sure if this is out of skill-set. Would really appreciate some input.

I recommend you should not try to do this yourself but instead send it to a prof.service. you could find them on Ebay. You should only do it yourself if you replace the whole screen assembly.

How hard is it? I bought the screen for 40 on eBay (US) and am close to buying the materials (heat gun, replacement kits, pry, etc.) I've seen some tutorials on YouTube and just seems to take some patience and perseverance?

Someone did replaced the digitizer and the screen didnt worked. So good luck.
I also did cracked mine screen, but I took it to service repair and costed me 285US.
Only positive, is the new replacement screen doesnt have backlight bleeding like mine old one had and was very annoying as hell.
This is first ever big LCD screen that doesnt have any backlight bleeding of all i owned.

If you don't know I tell you, the screen is glued to the digitizer with UV glue and you need a special glue machine to do that. Any other methods like tape, glue strings, glue kits ...what ever, will not work the same way, air and dirt will get in between and you will see mark and bubble all over the screen in the long run, plus the touch/Spen may not even work right any more...So good luck. It's may cost you more but, if you went through all the headache and at the end you still have to buy an assembly...mute point and even cost you more...

They dont change the digitizer only and whole LCD+digitizer frame. None of repair service would change just the digitizer, too much work and very difficult to do it.
Repair cost only 50US and lcd+digitizer frame cost 235US. Looking around the web, its cost around 210SUS LCD + digitizer frame.
After I read that someone failed to replace only the digitizer, since they are glued together and decided take it to repair service instead.
Hi,
I can get hold of a damaged z3+ quite cheaply. The LCD is intact, but the front glass is cracked and the digitizer is not working. Does anyone know if the replacement glass contains the digitizer or if I wold need a complete LCD/glass/frame assembly (much more expensive)?

Thanks for your reply,
Having torn down and replaced front and back on two phones now, I feel almost like an expert
Been doing mobile phone repairs on the side for a couple of years. Xperia is by far one of the more misleading manufacturers in my opinion when performing repairs. I would make sure the person can somehow prove the back-light still come on. Also when performing the actual repair it can't be stressed enough that you shouldn't treat the battery like a Samsung or it seems to corrupt at different essential points. I would wager 2 in 3 newbies will burn out the fuse on the mainboard for the back light during an average repair due to a jeopardized screen shorting out or testing prematurely to make sure everything is in working order early in the repair. In almost every model it is precision work which could imply ripping and plying off the sheilding in a way they it will never be 1:1 and that is if you can even find the fuse for this model. With that said just put everything back exact minding all the grounding tape etc. while performing this repair. Xperias are an utter nitemare in terms of ghost error lite codes and forums of confused people getting red light of death etc. .. I have modded many phones Xperia's still brick to easily for my liking and I often feel like I am walking on glass to test or try anything past vanilla.
I have backed up my DRM's though and unlocked my bootloader and put the DRM's back which makes the phone a little better.
Xperia phones in my books are the most temperamental and fragile. With that said the pretentiousness can be overlooked when you look at features.
Hello
Where may I a replacing screen for my Le Max 2? It has just fallen on the floor and is broken even though the touch screen is still working
thanks
Hope this helps. Check the store feedback before buying.

Good to know it can be done and there are spare parts around.
Always thought it was fatal with these newer "design over everything" phones.

Thx for your reply. Can you say which lcd screen is made by LeTV or is there an LCD screen which is made by LeTV? Thx
I don't know. Perhaps someone else on the forum has that information. I think they sell original screens but it's best you contact the sellers directly before ordering.

Hi!
Any update since October? I`m facing the same issue. I have googled a bit and found some complaints related to LCDs from Aliexpress claiming that they are no so bright and blurry, sometimes with white spots.
I have also find only a glass replacement https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-7...lgo_pvid=aec8908f-0e28-4202-a650-ab20f3981970
of a glass with digitizer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-LeEco-L...966586?hash=item58e23ffdba:g:z4wAAOSw-kdXxPkl
But... also a lot people claims that the LCD is almost inseparable from glass... Do anyone have an experience with only glass replacement?
I found a local service that claims to be able to do that.. but I do not know whether to trust them not destroy the LCD. The said, that they do not have an experience with Le Max 2 but with other phones.
Thanks

If you can get the fast delivery, then you can give it a go. Although it's a risky operation,it might be alright in the end. The service should have some experience if they say that for other brands/phones they have succeeded. It might be ok, but always keep in mind that something might go wrong. And it's not worth waiting 2 months for the glass and another 2 for the display.
Edit: you can google the process and you will see how it's done for other phones. They need to have special devices.

Thanks for such a fast reply. I already did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRqSyZk1SOU It seems to be very tricky. I have relatively fast delivery about 2-3 weeks so I`ll give it a try with only a glass an digitizer http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-LeEco-L...966586?hash=item58e23ffdba:g:z4wAAOSw-kdXxPkl.
I`ll write a review after the whole process is done for future reference
Very difficult. They make it look easy on youtube. I attempted a glass only repair on a nexus 6. You have to have correct amount of heat, and the LCD is very fragile. Too much heat will damage the display, but you need enough heat to soften the loca glue to be able to separate the glass from the lcd.. I even had a scientific dry bath at my disposal to get the right temp.. Not worth a home repair attempt IMO.
Cost of the le max 2 is just the reason I bought this phone (vs a $600+ device) and put on tempered glass from Ali express for less than $2. Will you consider replacing your phone for $200?
My wife broke her tempered glass protector twice on the max 2. Easy fix, just replaced the tempered glass cover. I'm just saying I learned the hard way, on a more expensive Nexus 6. I wasn't aware of tempered glass protectors then. Even after destroying my lcd (by trying a glass-only repair) and ending up buying the lcd+glass assembly, I still didn't get the phone's frame tight with the display assembly to make it acceptable.
I tried to repair lcd once for another phone. It took me 1h just to disassemble the phone, and half an hour more to try to carefully separate lcd from digitizer. I failed and then there was no point spending another hour puting the phone back together and had to throw all those tiny parts to the garbage. Think about this before you try.
Home repairs of such kind are a no go. This is why I encourage him to go to the repair shop where they do that kind of repairs to the screen. They do have a special heated plate with temperature adjustment, a vacuum device that eliminates any bubbles between the lcd and glass, etc. Also do note that not all the repair shops are doing this. Most of them are collecting phones for the specialized shops and charge an extra fee.
In conclusion, this kind of repair is not for everybody, and it would be best done in a specialized repair shop. For reference, check the following video:
I know it's written in romanian and for an Allview, but I guess that most of the things are understandable to get the idea of how complicated the whole process is for any home attempt.
So, after a month in repair center I have my phone back. The screen is an original one with digitizer changed. Between digitizer and screen there are some bubbles, buttons are switched, like back is on a left instead of right and the bugged issue... They are very undeterministic and do not always work and sometimes they work without even touching so... Apps are switching and so on... I needed to disable them and use gestures instead.
The repair was about 40USD and digitizer 15 USD... It is hard to say whether it was worth it or exchange the complete screen.

I can personally recommend this vendor. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...32820735893.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.xEXMor
Replacing the screen + digitiser on this model is pretty easy provided you have access to a hot air gun. Took me about 15 minutes and I'm in NO WAY a pro. For the price of a new screen I definitely wouldn't attempt a digitizer-only repair.

And I can say, It's same as the original one in every detail(Even production date so close). Replacement is very easy with tool that came with screen.
BTW, You have to buy glue(B6000,E7000,T8000 or whatver) for fix it in place.
My son dropped his Oneplus 3 in water, took it out immediately and dried it. Phone was working well for few hours, then it had some screen rotation issue and when he tried to reboot it, it went black. When he got home, he dried it and then put it in Rice for four days. No luck.
Now when I charge the phone, it gets warm, so power is going in but the screen is black. I tried the Volume up and power button simultaneously, but to no avail. The screen remains totally black.
Not sure if I have to take to the repair guy at the mall to replace some parts or should I trying something else before doing that.
Please advise and provide guidance.:crying:
Thanks in advance.
Ric.
Its probably dead.
I mean, you can try the Mega Unbrick Guide but thats definetly not the case we have here.
Get it repaired as fast as possible over One Plus Support.
Shouldn't have used the phone and put into rice straight away. Probably the display connector accumulated rust and maybe service centre can fix it easily, MAYBE... In most cases some part of motherboard may be shorted, which would cost a lot to fix
Don't know if I can use unbrick guide... PC doesn't recognize the device!!

Wouldn't call it a bad price.. I mean for he S7 you already pay 400 bucks because you dropped your Phone once, try to open it up and see if the contact points are messed up, JerryRigEverything has a nice video.
Thanks Puddi_Puddin..viewed the video
Thanks Puddi_Puddin,
I took a look at the taking apart video on youtube. I was able to remove the screws with the appropriate screwdriver but to remove the screen, I think I may have to buy the JerryRigEverything Metal Pry Tool from Amazon. Any other alternatives?
I assume the water damage indicator would have changed color. What should I look out with regards to contact points? Anything else that I should look out for?
Thanks for the input and appreciate it.

If i did that to my own oneplus 3, my dad won't be getting me another phone that's for sure. And he will well pissed off, 400 dollars gone down the drain. He'll probably make me pay for it and if i wanted a phone, i will have to buy myself one. In your case, maybe not get him a phone so he will appreciate it more. You might as well get a phone with water resistance. I had to wait 5 years to get my own phone. My oneplus 3 was my first ever phone and i got it last year.
Well, for the replacement he is going to pay from his summer job.

Well every thin piece of metal should do, as long as you are careful. You want to watch out for the screen tho. And switch to something like paper ASAP.
