Has your Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 dropped to the ground and now you need to replace the LCD or Touch Screen Digitizer? This tear down tutorial will assist you when needing to replace the following parts in your Galaxy Note 8.0 N5110 such as:
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Touch Screen Digitizer
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 LCD Screen
Other internal components
Recommended Repair Tools:
Safe Open Pry Tool
Small Phillips Screwdriver (#00)
Adhesive Strips (required for screen replacements)
Heat Gun / Hair Dryer (required to warm and loosen adhesive)
Galaxy Note 8.0 N5110 Take Apart Guide:
Before you begin you will need to fully power off your device and remove the stylus pen.
Taking your safe open pry tool gently pry in between the seam of the back cover and the housing applying even pressure along all sides of the cover to release the clips holding it in place.
After the back cover has been removed you can now take your Small Phillips Screwdriver and remove the (8) screws circled in the figure below.
This will allow you to gently pry up the battery and release its connection shown below to fully remove it from your device.
See figure below for battery connector and screw locations.

}
Next we can begin working at the top of the device.
You will need to take your Small Phillips Screwdriver and remove the (3) screws circled in the figure below.
Next taking your plastic pry tool you will need to gently release (5) these connections.
See figure below for connection and screw locations.
Next we can start working on the lower half of the device.
Taking your Small Phillips Screwdriver you will need to remove (7) more screws circled in the figure below.
With these screws removed you can now take your plastic pry tool and gently release the (6) connections below.
Note: The connection highlighted in yellow has a metal plate covering the connector. You will need to pry up this metal plate to expose the connection.
Next you can take your plastic pry tool and gently lift up and remove the (2) loud speakers at the bottom of the device.
See figure below for connection and screw locations.
Now that these screws and connections are released you can now begin removing the motherboard and other internal components.
Taking your plastic pry tool gently pry up towards the bottom of the motherboard to allow you to lift it out of the housing. (Use extreme care when handling the motherboard)
Next you can take your pry tool you can gently pry up and remove the headphone jack and front camera.
Now you will want to remove the microphone and button flex cable assembly. Gently pry up the ribbon starting from the top and slowly peel your way down towards the bottom. This flex ribbon is held on by some adhesive so you will want to use extreme caution not to rip or tear this cable.
See figure below for reference.
Now you will want to remove the vibration motor and memory card reader assembly.
These two components are connected with a very small flex ribbon cable. You will want to use extreme caution not to rip or tear this cable.
Taking your plastic pry tool and first pry up the memory card slot.
Next you will have to pry up the vibration motor from the inner housing (it is held down with adhesive.)
You may find when attempting to remove the vibration motor that using a small flat head screwdriver or other type of metal pry tool will help release it from the adhesive holding it in place. (Again use extreme care when attempting this.)
Next you will need to remove one last flex cable by taking your plastic pry tool and lifting up the tab on the jaw connector allowing you to remove it from the device completely.
See figure below for reference.
Next you are able to flip over your device and begin heating up the screen assembly.
You will want to take your heat source on a medium setting roughly 3-4 inches away from the screen.
Be sure to evenly apply heat to all outer edges of the screen to loosen up the adhesive holding the screen in place.
Notice: This guide is for informational and learning purposes only. Perform these procedures and repair at your own risk.
Is there a way to replace just the digitizer without completely disassembling the device? And ... do you know where I can get one for a while N5110?

You would definitely have to disassemble the device to get to the flex cable to disconnect it.
This is great!
So it shouldn't be too difficult to replace the battery in a year or two.
Anyone know where replacement batteries can be found?
I must say, the non-removable battery is my biggest gripe with this tablet.
Where can you get a screen?
So now that we know HOW to replace a broken screen, does anyone know WHERE to buy a new screen and digitizer?
Samsung wants $298 to send it in for repair.

Hi, your tutorial and also your video on youtube doesn't show how to disasembly the lcd screen from the digitizer.
When I tried to disassemble it came with the LCD, but non full LCD because the bottom of LCD is glued onto the LCD plate holder.
It's built like the samsung Galaxy S2.
For me it's quite impossible to disassemble without breaking the LCD.
Am I wrong?
Did somebody manage to change only the digitizer?

I was wrong, the LCD is not much glued to the bezel but it's firmly glued with epoxy glue to the digitizer.
It's definitly quite impossible to change only the digitizer.
Once again with samsung, good stuff but be very careful cause if you drop it, it's dead.
The complete LCD assembly is about 230$.
Screen replacement means full LCD screen replacement
As you can see below, digitizer is fully glued to LCD screen, plus epoxy glue pods in the corners.

Well I just got a call from samsung service that I need LCD as well as Mother Board replaced and then some small Parts apparently for some liquid clogged damage that I am not at all aware of, All i know is 1/3rd of my screen went dark.
It'll cost me arm and a leg as warranty does not cover that. imo Dropping it is not the only thing one should worry about when there are other factors at play, family, pets, rain luck and who knows what..
A Question
Do you happen to know if the GT-N5110 screen the same as the SGH-I467?
As far as I know they are different.
Hacked it? Walk thru?
Have anyone successfully change parts or swap parts from i467 to N5100/N5120 to access and use phone calls? Or maybe teach me how to change my imei number to trick carrier into thinking this is a phone cuz I hate to have it stuck with only Tablet data only!!

The LCD and digitizer are two seperate parts - are they both broken? Either way, the replacement procedure is basically the same. Just order the parts and follow the instructions on the youtube video and/or this thread to repair it.
Seems intimidating, but it's pretty easy and shouldn't take you more than 30-45 minutes if you are well prepared.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Screen Replacement
May be I my request is not clear, I want information (Real Ones) on where to get the complete assembly so I can get it repaired or for a repair shop like yours to tell me what it will cost to repair it. Sorry for the delay in replying I just lost hope after so many weeks of nothing.
Does anyone know where to buy the full LCD+digitizer and front glass? Recently broke the LCD on my Note 8 and from what I read, replacing the whole lot would be easier than trying to separate the digitizer and glass from the LCD.

That is incorrect. You have to remove the digitizer to get to the LCD, then the LCD requires additional steps to remove once you have the digitizer off.
The hardest (if you can call it that) part is carefully heating up the outer edges of the device to loosen up the glue that holds the digitizer in place.

Figure 1
Remove the two void stickers from the locations A and B highlighted with cyan color in figure 1.
You will now need to unscrew three screws at the locations 1, 2 and 3 indicated in figure 1 by orange circles.
Pry up the back-bottom cover using safe open pry tool. The cover is highlighted with gray color in the figure 1 and an orange arrow points to a convenient location to start prying with.
You can now remove the back chassis which includes the battery compartment. To remove it you will need to pry it up using a safe open pry tool.
Figure 2
Remove two more screws at the locations indicated in figure 2 by small circles 1 and 2.
Disconnect the antenna plug from the location A indicated in the figure 2.
Now carefully lift the camera PCB and remove the ‘Power’ button.
You will now need to disconnect three cable connectors from locations B, C and D shown in figure 2. Carefully lift up the connectors using safe open pry tool to unplug.
After unplugging the connectors you can now lift up and remove the camera PCB and primary PCB from the phone assembly. Remove it and put it aside.
The next step is to remove the ‘Volume’ button from the unit.
Once you have removed the ‘Volume’ button carefully loosen up the AMOLED and the keyboard assembly out of the chassis using safe open pry tool but do not remove these from the unit.
Figure 3
Now lift up and remove the keyboard assembly. Note that you will have to peel off the part of keyboard assembly that is glued at the back of AMOLED. The location of keyboard assembly is shown in gray color in the figure 3.
The removal of the keyboard assembly from the unit will expose the keyboard’s key-caps. Pry up and remove the key-caps as well.
Peel the touch screen PCB assembly off the back of the AMOLED. Its location is highlighted by yellow colored area in figure 3.
The AMOLED should now be free to remove. Remove it and put it aside.
Figure 4
Now in order to remove the touch screen digitizer from the phone chassis you will first need to peel off a sticky tape which connects the touch screen to the chassis. Then insert safe open pry tool in the edge between the chassis and digitizer from the back (as indicated by the arrows in figure 4), and pry up the digitizer. The digitizer will be adhered to the chassis and it will require a little bit of effort to separate the digitizer from the chassis. Note that once you have taken the digitizer out of the chassis you will need to remove the insulator from its flex cable and then run the flex cable from the gap in the chassis to separate it completely from the chassis (you may have to rotate the digitizer to let the flex cable run through the gap easily).
The HTC Desire is now disassembled and you can now replace the damaged part(s) with new ones. Reverse the instructions above to reassemble your phone.
Great guide! Thanks for sharing.
With the reassembly, your instructions say that the digitizer is glued to the chassis upon removal, will it need any special glues when replacing the new part??

Yes. We always use new adhesive to ensure a secure bond. We recommend adhesive strips such as these here - Adhesive Strips
This adhesive is the correct thickness and won't damage the touch screen like super glue etc can.

I would suggest that you don't do this unless you absolutely have to. The GPS antenna is notoriously flimsy (mine broke just in the force of me removing it) and in fact they are not designed to be disconnected more than a few times - many users report that the board connector will often come away with very little force.
You certainly don't need to disconnect the GPS antenna to get to the screen - just remove the component parts with it still attached.
A video guide would be much more informative also, or at least a video to go with the written tutorial where you follow your own steps.
Video
Well I can't post external links yet but if you youtube "HTC Desire Disassembly Video" you will find the video straight from HTC on how to take it apart.
Great video, I used it to replace the earpiece on my desire.
I'm about to do this on a CDMA Desire (ADR6275) and just wanted to confirm that a digitizer that claims to be for an A8181 (or A8182 or A8183) will work. I've read threads where people replaced a digitizer that fit and looked correct, but some functions didn't work because it wasn't exactly the right part number.
If I get an ebay digitizer for an A8181, will it drop right in the ADR6275?
Thanks.

The same prob happend with me, but I was trolling with the antenna. So this is what I did: I've got an old motorola L6, and I disassembled it *for the 564-th time * and took out its antenna. Molded, bent and trimmed it a bit, and put it in my desire. It works fine, and seem to notice a slight better signal
If only part of the touch screen in unresponsive, would replacing the whole thing fix the problem?

LCD vs touch screen
Ok I am sort of stuck so I would appreciate any help on this. I bought a touch screen for replacement, but as soon as I opened the back cover I realized my phone doesn't look like what's on this guide. I have a HTC Desire C. I was able to search Youtube and found a video with directions to disassemble Desire C all the way down to the touch screen. However, the guy in the video is trying to replace the piece that's black in color, just before the touch screen (which I assume is the LCD), then this question occurred to me: if only part of the touch screen of my phone is unresponsive, how do I figure out if the problem is with the touch screen or the LCD? Thank you.
---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------
Ok I sort of answered my own question. The screen display is ok, so based on that the LCD should be fine. Regarding the adhesive tape for Desire C, Amazon sells some generic adhesive tape 2mm in width, does anybody know if that's workable?

I just got finished replacing my top screen on my HTC Desire 510, when I turn the phone on, I can hear it turn on but the screen stays black, any idea what could be wrong? I've checked the cable connections. Other than a shattered top screen it worked fine before. Is there anyway to check the screen itself, to make sure I didn't receive a bad one? I was careful changing it, and didn't run into any problems doing so. Thanks

RepairsUniverse compiled a written repair guide to repair a damaged screen or other internal components on your HTC One X. This detailed take apart guide will walk you through each step on how to disassemble and replace the damaged parts on your One X.
This guide will help you to install the following HTC One X part(s):
HTC One X Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement
HTC One X LCD Screen Replacement
Tools Required:
Safe Open Pry Tool
Small Phillips Screwdriver
Adhesive Strips (for touch screen repair)
Hot Air Gun / Hair Dryer
HTC One X Repair Guide:
First, use a safe open pry tool to begin releasing the back housing. Start at the bottom of the device and work your way around the edges, applying pressure to pop the case off. With all 3 sides released you can pull the device from the back cover. Be cautious as the battery is often adhered to the housing and will need to be removed with the rest of the device.
Once the back cover had been removed, we can now remove the small plastic housing located near the camera. Used Small Phillips screwdriver then remove the five (5) screws shown in red on figure 1.

Figure 1
There will be one (1) more small Phillips screws that will be located at the bottom of the motherboard, near the battery, that will need to be removed.
Start releasing all the connections located on the motherboard. Release the single pop connector and jaw connector located on the top of the motherboard (shown in orange in figure 1).
Release the power button flex cable and volume button flex cable from the housing. These will be lightly adhered to the housing (shown in green in figure 1).
You can now lightly lift the motherboard up, being careful as it is still attached with flex cables. The battery can also be swung out, revealing two (2) more connection on the skinny part of the motherboard. Release these two connections and remove the motherboard and battery from the device (shown in figure 2).
Figure 2
Use a heat gun or hair dryer to start warming the front of the screen assembly. Work around the outside edges of the screen on medium heat for about 45 seconds. This will soften the adhesive holding the screen assembly to the housing.
Once the screen is properly heated you can use a safe open pry tool to being lifting the screen assembly away from the housing. Be sure to lift both screens out at the same time.
After the screens are partially released, be sure the flex cables are fed through the housing. Remove the screen assembly.
Use the heat gun or hair dryer again to warm the seal between the touch screen and LCD screen. Use quick movements for about 30 seconds. Once this is complete, use a safe open pry tool to carefully separate the screens.
You can now replace the touch screen digitizer or LCD screen.
Reverse the instructions above to reassemble your phone.
Thank for great tutorial
I hope that I will ever need it, but very useful
Was it proved that the digitizer can be safely removed from the LCD without messing it up? As I watched a video on YouTube, the guy ruined his LCD screen in the process....i have a broken digitizer and I'm not willing to buy digitizer+LCD for $150 while my LCD is working fine....i hope you can tell me if changing the digitizer alone is possible.
Thank you!
Yes this is possible. These screens are not fused together but held by adhesive. You will need to apply heat on the front touchscreen too loosen the adhesive. Good luck with the repair.
What about dust particles and finger prints ? is it true that there is no air in between digitizer and lcd ?

You use adhesive strips between the LCD and the digitizer. This stops dust getting in.

hi,
My LCD is not broken, only the glass... but I'm afraid to separate the glass of the LCD.
I read so many message that said they broke the LCD.
should it be difficult to separate when the glass is "hot" ?
Thank you
Phil
I don't think it is possible to separate lcd and glass
after doing some extensive research I finally committed myself to try to separate the lcd and the broken glass
the result: I ripped the lcd's layers apart, just as the experienced service guy did here too at 26:53
youtu.be/H5TRf0REyMM
I believe it is not possible to separate the factory assembled (broken) digitizer glass from the LCD screen
the topmost layer of the LCD is glued so heavily to the glass, that even if you heat it very carefully the other layers will separate sooner (thus breaking the black tape holding together the lcd layers) then the lcd would separate from the glass
I was able to find only one video on YouTube which shows a successful separation of the lcd and the glass:
youtu.be/aknwDBR0IIA
but!
imho this is not a factory assembled unit or at least the sticker tape holding together the glass and the screen is different on my unit, it doesn't have anything like the white tapes seen at 6:52 on the glass
the only reason why you can buy separate touch digitizer glass at all, is to glue it together with a brand new lcd, but there is no way to recover your lcd from a phone, however unharmed it is

You will find it near impossible to split the display from digitizer the screen is laminated to it via some very strong glue even heating the screen could damage the display they don't take kindly to excessive heat so it will be very slim doing so and succeeding without any damage

Actually I found it pretty easy to seperate the two. I just placed the nail of my thumb between the lcd and digitizer and went around the whole screen. Took it apart without any problems.
You can buy new LCD/ digitiser combined for not a lot more then just the digitiser, also if you get the two already joined there will be less dust in between the screen and LCD then if you yourself did it.... knowing my luck I would drop the thing on the floor before I stuck they together lol

Optimus G Pro Tear Down Guide:
Before you begin you must make sure to power off your device completely.
To start you will need to remove the back cover of the device as well as the battery, sim card, and Micro-SD card.
Next step you will need to remove the 14 Small Phillips Screws (#00) securing the back housing to the device.
Once those screws have been removed you can take your safe open pry tool to release the clips holding the back housing to the mid-frame. (work your way around the housing being careful not to break any of the clips)
Once the back housing has been removed you can now begin to release the 4 pop connectors and antenna cable as shown in the figure below.
You will also need to release the rear camera from the housing using your plastic pry tool (Be careful not to rip or tear the attached flex cable.)
See figure below for screw and flex cable locations.

}
After all the appropriate connections have been released you can now carefully remove the motherboard from the device.
Be cautious as the motherboard is slightly fastened in the housing with a small clip that could potentially damaged the small and narrow portion of the motherboard.
See below figure for reference
Now that you have safely removed the motherboard you can now begin removing the last few necessary components to start the screen removal process.
First you will need to lift up the touch screen digitizer's flex cable and remove the ear speaker (both are held with a little adhesive)
Next you can take your plastic pry tool to gently pry up the lower USB port / soft key assembly and remove it from the device.
You will now be able to begin applying heat to the screen assembly to be able to remove the LCD and touch screen digitizer.
Using your heat source on a medium setting you will want to evenly apply heat to all outer edges of the screen for 30-45 second intervals.
Be cautious not to hover over and flex ribbons that you may need to reuse for re-assembly.

Nope, just take your pry tool and gently lift it up from the right side. Just be careful not to tear the connector located on it's left.

Cool Thank!
Do you have to replace the digitizer as well? I am buying a G Pro with a cracked glass, but the digitizer and LCD still work. Is it possible to keep the digitizer intact, or will I have to replace both the glass and the digitizer? Thanks!

The "digitizer" and touch screen are the same. All of the keywords can be confusing at times I know. If the phone you are buying has cracked glass then you would need to replace the "touch screen digitizer" For example:

What exact model do you have? This repair guide is based off of the Optimus G Pro E980 and the circle you are referencing to is actually a water sensor. On the stock back cover this slot is not exposed.
Ok thanks
So it detect if the phone is in water and turn it off?

Here's the white glass/digitizer, but I don't think it comes with a white button. : http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Touch-Screen-Glass-Digitizer-Lens-Replacement-For-LG-Optimus-G-Pro-F240-/271205745780?pt=US_Cell_Phone_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3f251f4474
I can't find any white back panels though.
lemon E980
okay, here's the thing.
I bought a E980 like two weeks ago from EBay (i'm located outside US and wanted this phone so bad)
Three days ago i noticed touching the external soft keys were not "noticed" by the phone, but i could live with it.
Every night incrementally the phone would stop responding to inputs like half an inch from the bottom to the top.
Like:
1st day -> no soft keys
2nd day -> no soft keys + a little bit of the screen
3rd day -> no soft keys + about 1 inch on the bottom of the screen
i have tried factory resetting and everything (as the screen/glass is not cracked) and i know for sure i have not let it fall or bump on anything.
Does this sound like i got the lemon, or just bad software?
I mean, i think the digitizer would stop working all at once, not every night it'd "advance" towards the top.
Please help me on this one.
Btw, Optimus G Pro E980.

Folks,
It appears there is some water damage on an LG G Pro I have. My son had been using it and one morning it would not turn on. The water sensor at the top was red and there was some condensation on the camera lens and the top corners of the screen. The water sensor on the battery is white, so I think the water damage was only at the top of the device. So I dropped it in a bag of rice for 48 hours. This has worked a couple times on previous phones, but did not this time.
The condensation is gone but the phone will not turn on at all. Nothing when I connect it to the charger or PC. Any ideas one what I can do to resurrect this phone, or maybe parts to replace?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Water damage can be tricky to diagnose. You may have to dis-assemble the device and check the connections and other components for signs of corrosion. Sometimes you are able to clean up these areas with 91% alcohol (or higher) and a q-tip.
You wont be able to tell until you open up the device. Is there any signs of functionality at all? System sounds, vibration etc?

There are no sounds, vibrations or lights. Zero. I took it apart and could not see any noticeable corrosion. I did clean all the connections with alcohol. Gonna let it sit overnight and put it back together and see what happens.
Thank you for this tutorial! Hope I never have to use it but if I do I know where to look.

Yeah sometimes it's a hit and miss. You might want to check to see if your battery has gone bad from the water damage before you determine it could be a brick.
The helpful techs at Repairs Universe have put together this screen repair guide for the HTC Windows Phone 8S. This take apart guide will help walk you through all of the necessary steps to safely disassemble your Windows Phone 8S to perform repairs such as a replacing a cracked or broken screen or even internal components that may have stopped working.
This repair guide will help you install the following Windows Phone 8S parts:
Windows Phone 8S Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement
Windows Phone 8S LCD Screen Replacement
Windows Phone 8S LCD + Touch Screen Assembly
Recommended Repair Tools:
Small Phillips Screwdriver (#00)
T5 Torx Screwdriver
Adhesive Strips
Safe Open Pry Tool
Spudger Opening Tool
Heat Gun or Blow dryer
How to fix a Windows Phone 8S (Step-by-Step Tutorial) :
Before you begin make sure you fully power off your device.
Next take your pry tool or fingernail and remove the bottom back cover. From here you will need to remove your sim card and/or micro SD card.
With this cover removed you can take your Torx T5 screwdriver and remove the two (2) screws circled in the figure shown below.
Now taking your safe open pry tool start prying off the back housing by releasing the clips holding it in place. (Be careful not to damage or break these clips.)
See figure below for reference:

With the back housing removed you can now remove the six (6) Small Phillips (#00) screws circled in the figure below.
Please note that the screws circled in BLUE are a different size from the screws circled in RED.
There will also be a small black protective cover that can be removed with the screws circled in BLUE.
See figure below for screw locations:
Now with the screws removed you want to lift out the battery and fold it over to the side where the flex cable is still connected.
You can now remove the black housing covering its connection.
Now taking your pry tool gently release the battery connection and remove it from the device.
See figure below for reference:
Now taking your pry tool you will need to gently peel up the three components from the housing highlighted in GREEN in the figure below. These are the volume buttons, vibrator motor and power button.
Be cautious not to rip or tear their connections. You will only need to release them from the housing in order to remove the motherboard. (The volume and power buttons are held down with a little adhesive, the vibrator motor has it's own nest in the housing.)
You will also need to remove the protective tape covering the connections highlighted in BLUE in the figure below. Then use your pry tool to safely release their jaw-bone connections.
With these components now freed from the housing you can now safely pry up and lift out the motherboard. (Use caution when handling the motherboard.)
Next you will want to remove the protective tape covering the mid-frame and the back of the LCD screen from the slots in the housing. (Highlighted in RED in the figure below)
You now will want to gently peel up the ribbon cable(s) pointed out with red arrows in the figure below. These arrows point in the direction to which you will want to peel these cables from the housing. (Use caution not to rip or tear these flex ribbon cables.)
You will also need to take your spudger and gently lift up the copper colored film from the back of the LCD screen to be able to remove it from the housing without any issues.
See figure below for reference:
To proceed you will need to take your heat source and apply heat to the front and back of the mid-frame and screen assembly.
A medium heat setting hovering roughly 3-4 inches away from the device is ideal. Evenly heat these areas for roughly 30-45 second intervals. (Be cautious not to hover over any flex cables you may not want to damage.)
The adhesive holding the back of the LCD to the mid-frame is quite strong. You will need to apply enough heat to the back of the frame to loosen this adhesive enough to remove the screen assembly.
See figure below for reference:
With the screen and mid-frame properly heated you can begin prying the LCD + digitizer assembly starting from the back of the mid-frame.
We found that using a spudger opening tool is ideal to get between the LCD and this mid-frame. Insert the chisel end of your spudger through these slots in the frame as demonstrated in the figure below.
While attempting to remove the screen assembly from the mid-frame insert your spudger in a slot in the housing and use a second pry tool to work around the edges of the screen. The spudger will give you enough space for extra prying leverage and keep the LCD from re-adhering to the adhesive on the frame.
Once enough of the adhesive is releasing the screen assembly you should be able to remove the screen assembly completely from the mid-frame.
Be cautious of the flex cables when sliding them through the slots in the housing.
See figure below for reference:

You can try but the LCD is bonded to the touch screen in a way that makes it very difficult. I'd suggest using a full screen assembly.

I bought a digitizer and will try to carefully replace the original one that is totally shattered right now. At the moment i use the screen with tape on it, becuase bits of the screen are falling off. I will try to report back after i failed or succeeded, but that will take some time(just ordered the digitizer). Maybe i will post some before/after pics. :fingers-crossed:

I have to wait for the digitizer before i open it up, but my guess is it's fixed to the board somewhere or is it really that common to have 2 SD slots?
Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHGZnMUk6KA i couldn't see any removable SD card, but maybe it's behind of one of those covers on the mainboard?
would be great if you could post some photos if you see the slot... must soldered into the board but maybe with some skilful hands it's possible to change...
What i am propaply going to try or at least something similar:

There realy is no slot for a internal sd card. All important motherboard components where hidden behind a metal cover.
Progress: I removed all the adhesive left on the lcd with a adhesive remover. It works great, but now i see that i should have used that motorola digitizer removal technique. There are a few scratches on the lcd that hopefully aren't too visible after putting a ditizer on it.
@repairsuniverse would you guys put new adhesive between lcd and digitizer? I saw a video on youtube were a few guys used some sort of UV adhesive. Not exactly for the htc 8s but for other phones. Can i skip that part? Btw all the UV light i have is from the sun

You were on the right track, you will need UV adhesive for that to be successful.
Hi, my son has smashed the screen of his HTC 8s and I was wondering how easy it was to replace the screen or if it is better for me to take it to a shop to be repaired.
Many thanks
Well, as i need to "repair" my sm-p600 note 10.1 2014 edition, and there isn´t any tear dow manual or tutorial, so i start by my self, i have a little experience disassembling gadgets and assembling again (lucky me, when i was a kid i cant put together many devices haha) well the main duty is know if the screen comes glued to the lcd, hoping they comes just atached by 3m tape or something "easy" to remove, and replace just the glass
By now you can buy the digitizer glass cover alone(i haven´t bought it, since i dont know if i need the whole front panel)

Haha this is exactly what I would've done in this kind of situation - just tear the damn thing apart and repair whatever it is that's broken. Well, except that I usually have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to repairing computer-related stuff. It always seems to work out in the end though.
Anyway, good luck with your repair project. Always nice to have some reference in case of a broken screen.

Well the flex conectors are arrayed too far one from the other, so if it comes glued they dont use logic, but who knows, this sunday ill buy some auto agdhesive plastic to retain the glass in "one" part, then heat it and remove it. if you can wait, ill confirm glued or not.

Good to know. I am knew to this. My wife's tablet cracked. How different is this with the phones? I understand the phones use LOCA between the glass and digitizer. Is it the same case with this tablet?
If its built like their phones then the digitizer is glued to the glass. Which is what you bought. If it helps any, I did take apart an Asus tablet and the digitizer is glued to the glass as well. But the LCD panel has a double sided foam around it which is how it was attached to the LCD/digitizer. If you don't heat the foam tape enough it's going to be a PITA it won't separate easily. But don't force it or you will crack the LCD panel. They are probably 2-3 mm thin panel. So heat it up enough to allow it to separate on its own while you put your prying tool in between. And work your way around with little force. If you have to use more force to separate them, then it's not hot enough. Dont rush like I did and I ended up cracking the lcd panel.

How did it go on Sunday?
Just curious, what kind of room, if any, is available under the back cover. It would be nice to make a wireless charging dock for this like my old touchpad had.
After picking up my sons Note 10.1 and noticing that it would apparently come on but had nothing on the screen I began googling. Not much info out there. Appears to be a common problem. His tablet seemed to be working fine but nothing displayed on the screen. Read several threads on here with most ending in sending the units back under warranty. Although I did purchase 3 year warranties on both units I bought...I'm just not one to do the right thing. I powered the unit down and began taking the back off like the poster did in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2617614. Once I got the back off I tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it. No dice. The poster then said he disconnected the two ribbons and reconnected them and that worked for him...still no worky for me. One of the ribbons is labeled "LCD". I followed it to the other end. It is covered by a silver "hold down" sticker. I unstuck the sticker and could then clearly see that the ribbon was clearly cocked very slightly in it's socket. If you don't know, these ribbon sockets come open by prying the black piece up and away from the ribbon. Be very careful doing this. I did this on this end of the LCD ribbon, straightened the ribbon and clipped the socket back closed. BAM. Black Screen Gone! Works like a charm.
If you are comfortable digging around in very small electronics give it a try. If not, send it in.
Hope this helps.
The other thing to be weary of is make sure you dont break the tabs on the back cover. In particular the area where the spen sits. Otherwise the spen will become loose. There's a plastic C looking piece inside that hold on to the spen. This is creates that click feel (not the vibrate) when you insert the spen all the way. There's a part of that piece that lines up with the groove near the end of the spen that it latches on to sort of speak. You can bend to make it hold the pen better but if the back is loose, that clip will not sit in place and the spen will be loose no matter what.

Didn't find a video. Get a very small flat blade screwdriver or one of the plastic tools that comes with a new cell phone battery. Start on either side of the charging port and slowly work your way around prying on it. It has clips and also a thin line of glue holding it on. Take your time and it will come open with ease.

Thinking about making a purchase to replace my cracked screen, but I am noticing that these replacements don't have the 'Samsung' logo on them. Should I continue to wait longer until digitzer screens with the 'Samsung' logo come out, or would I be safe purchasing these?
And the answer comes out... It's glued in the hard way. Took me about two hours to detach the cracked screen. There is a lot of glue on the LCD that I have to remove now. Check is it is still working and ask for the replacement...
