Hi,
I have attempted a glass only screen repair on my Note II which in hindsight was probably a mistake. Initially, I though things were going bad as I cracked and heated shards of glass away from the disassembled phone. Fully expecting to need to buy a new LCD/digitizer I eventually removed all the glass. Before cleaning the screen, I plugged it all back together and to my amazement it worked. Everything turned on and the digitizer worked so I turned it off and went about cleaning it up.
I then realized I could remove the backing that the glass was on, the bit with the black bezel. I don't know what this was or if I should have removed it or not. I cleaned what I think was the digitizer and LCD, put the new glass on and assembled the phone and this is where I'm stuck.
I try and power it on and all I get is one little red LED flash when I press the power button. When I press the power occasionally the screen flickers briefly as if it wants to turn on. I can't reset (10 seconds power) or hard reset (volume up + home + power). The phone is at full charge, it takes charge (my power supply "whistles") and the battery is at 4.1V.
Does anyone know what this symptom is or what I may have broken? I'm thinking I could have ruined the screen somehow, perhaps I shouldn't have pulled that last piece of plastic off or perhaps I have killed the motherboard but I don't see how..? Thanks for any assistance!
So I fixed the phone. Solution posted in case anyone else runs into this issue.
When I was removing the last layer on the screen or cleaning the goo off, I must have broken the screen. The red LED flash when I was turning the phone on is normal, it is just that the screen was not working. I got a new screen assembly and replaced the whole thing.
I've replaced about a dozen phone screens for myself, friends and family and I would strongly recommend replacing the whole screen assembly on a Note 2 instead of a glass only replacement.
I am a tech that does glass only replacements every day on s3 n2 and s4 and I can tell you that the black layer you removed was the digitizer and front half of the lcd that's were you messed up

I am pretty new here and have loves the source of all things EVO!
I flashed my first rom, broke the screen two days later, and reflashed it to stock so sprint would fix it. They replaced the front half of the phone. The glass, LCD, digitizer, bezel, and buttons. Here is my question: Now when i press firmly on the glass the LCD distorts like a computer monitor. It only happens when I press pretty hard while putting on my 3 layer case as one piece, so I am pressing pretty hard. I know thats probably how I wrecked the first screen, so I've stopped that. However I do not remember the origional screen doing that. Is sprint using lower grade glass screens?? Has anyone else noticed this?
Hi guys, cracked my note 2 glass last week and decided to replace JUST the glass myself. This included me warming up the screen with a hair dryer and replacing the glass. All went well, was VERY careful only to find out when I turn the phone on the screen is either blank OR white, and you can faintly see the boot logo. This alternates randomly when im prodding the motherboard. Does this mean there is a dodgy connection? Can I fix this, or have I completely melted the amoled when heating?
Forgot to add: Phone turns on fine, boot sound is there, capacative buttons light up. Even touch screen works (I can answer phone calls)
Thanks guys
My S3 has been working fine for months sort of. I bought it off of ebay with a huge crack in the glass, then my brother dropped it and all the glass fell out. To use the phone we has to touch the bare LCD of the phone, which after a while we just but a screen cover over it. I waited 2 months, bought a new glass replacement and put it on, everything worked just fine. After a little the home button when pressed to the left a little would make the screen go crazy. it would start tapping and swiping in random places. After locking and waking the screen the phone was normal again. after that, i removed the glass again, and this time when putting it back on if i pushed the home button it pushed the glass down a little, which would turn my screen black. locking the phone and waking the screen again turned the screen back on. Also the screen was a lot less sensitive, i'd have to tap a key 2-5 times sometimes to hit a specific letter. whenever that happened i put 3 dsi's to weigh it down and push the screen down, which would improve the sensitivity. that worked twice, and now my screen doesn't respond to touch at all. the screen will wake, but only when i press on the bottom right corner of the screen will it respond to touch. Any word on what could be the problem? i need to know what to buy to replace in the phone. I've already taken the whole phone apart and plugged everything back in, after i had tried everything to get my phone to respond. Could this be a digitizer problem, or an LCD problem? any possible fixes without having to replace anything?
The first issue was using the device without the glass installed. By touching the bare LCD you most likely damaged it. Your best bet at this point is probably going to be to replace the Touch assembly ( Glass / LCD Touch digitizer ) . Also keep in mind, when doing any sort of Screen replacement. Be sure to keep everything as clean, and dust free as possible.
Hi all-
My MZF went for a swim a couple weeks back. Put it in a bag with some DO NOT EAT desiccant packets for a few days, actually got it to turn back on, except the Power Button didn't work and the camera crashed every time I tried to open it.
I replaced the camera module and volume rocker/power strip with OEM used parts from eBay. Phone came back on, power button and camera worked, and everything actually seemed good until I plugged the phone in to charge.
I came back a little while later and the screen is black. Phone still vibrated on fingerprint touch, and when trying to power up/down with the power button. Did not come back on reboot, and every so often can see a very brief flash on the screen. No sound either. Thinking I somehow fried the display when I plugged it back in. Thinking about getting a replacement, but all the used ones on eBay are scratchy and/or burned in, and all the "new" "OEM" ones just seem shady.
Anybody ever done anything like this? Looking for any insight!
get a scratched screen and lay a glass screen protector on it this will hide some imperfections and prevent more. i replaced my screen once already and it waqs a pain but my moto branded part works great it came from a bad imei number
Found a decent OEM screen on eBay, didn't appear to be in too bad of shape. Definitely going to put a screen protector on it to help with any scratches. Sitting in my PO box right now, and and gonna try installing it this evening!
I am debating replacing mine. The screen scratched at the FFC and made any front pictures blurry. Did some rigging as a temp fix, but the camera sensor is now not covered by the plastic. If I do replace of, I'll do a tear down video. The screen isn't too hard to remove. Of almost came of when I ripped the protector off.

My Xiaomi Note 5 screen broke a year ago; I just woke up and found out:
- The screen is flickering
- Ghost touching
- Colored lines appeared
- Eventually everything went into black
Today I decided to repair it... A brand new original screen; so I went to the repair center and the guy changed my screen infront of my eyes.
When I got back to home, ghost touching happened again in a crazy way, I can't use the phone at all, moreover after reboot the screen became black, I can hear sound only.
I am not sure what is causing this, since the screen is new, and the software is fine.
Anybody has a clue what is this?????
I added photos of the broken screen, and a video after it was replaced.
Thanks in advance
Bad cable, connector, or pins not properly seated.
Loose ground. Failed mobo.
Try a hard reboot if you haven't already. Take it back to the tech, they may have a better plan.
