So I'm a newbie here, I dropped my LG OPTIMUS AT&T PHONE, and only the top part of touch screen works.
I'm wondering as I've replaced screen/digitizers on my HTC's and iPhones. But never anything this new!
My brother usually helps me, but he's not available so I turn to you all. Someone please help me. I have very important stuff on that phone and need it working asap. Long story short, I have custody court soon and a lot of my info that will help bring my kids home is on there in many different areas of phone. Plus I want my damn phone back. So question is, if the lower 3 touch buttons font work and the top half does, the crack is in lower right corner of phone, its just the glass the screen itself is not damaged, I could be wrong, but visibly looks fine. Anyone have any knowledge or can advise me on wth to do. Please
If you have recovery installed..do nandroid backup, copy it to you pc then to another optimus g. OR you could use Airdroid App to control phone through pc. I think Youtube had a video regarding disassembling...
Hi, the digitizer is broken, I just replaced mine because of this. The screen is actually really easy to replace but dont forget to use a lot of heat to remove the digitizer because its glued into place.

I have an HTC TP2 on US Cellular and just installed the latest Mightyrom (which is a fantastic rom)and I have a tiny problem. A few weeks ago I dropped my phone and the left hand bottom part of the screen popped out of the board a little bit. The screen responded fine until I pushed the screen back to it's original position and super glued the screen back into place. The screen completely stopped responding today! The buttons work, display works, and the keyboard works. But it will not respond AT ALL to touches on the screen. I cannot afford a screen or digitizer, and cannot afford another phone!! Please, provide me with info on what to do...I have always had faith in the HTC community and have never had any other phone...I can't even afford a penny phone. Can I replace the phone for free through the belief project if I'm under 18 without my dad knowing? Please provide the most effective way....email me or text my brother's phone (xxx) xxx-xxxx Ask for Nathan

Ok, first of all, NEVER give out your number on a public forum. Anyone on the Internet can see this thread whether or not they have an account.
Secondly, if it isn't responding to taps, then you will likely need to get a new digitizer. The only way to replace a device under warranty is to be the primary account holder for the line of service. Either tell your dad what happened, or get a new digitizer and replace it. There really aren't any other options.
Hi,
I've just replaced screen digitizer on my gf's Galaxy Ace II, which was run over by a car, but I have issues with it.
The problem is that the upper half of the display doesn't react to touches at all. Well, except for the very upper left corner,
so the status bar can be dragged down, although not 10 out of 10 times. The lower half of the display works without problems.
I was very careful during the replacement procedure and I alligned the digitizer's connector with the line on the motherboard.
I didn't use force at all (except for the disassembly), used no sharp tools and I didn't bend anything at all, so I believe I haven't physically
damaged the screen.
I suspect the unit I received may be faulty, although I highly doubt a cheap non-original screen sent from china could be faulty :laugh:
But before I am marked a fool for trusting eBay, is there anybody with the same issue and possible solution? Is there a possibility it just
needs recalibration, or hard reset?
Any help would be appreciated. I said to my gf I can handle that and don't want to disappoint her
Thanks in advance
Omg! How did your phone manage to run over by a car,!! Give it to Samsung! Don't try doing anything by yourself!

I couldn't find a guide myself, so I had to improvise, however I managed to do it the same way as it was described in the tutorial, except for
chipping the glass parts of the screen off. The problem is most probably in the screen digitizer. I already contacted the seller and he offered
to send me a new screen, however I can't be sure it will be working properly.
But thanks for the link, at least I can be calm that I haven't screwed anything during the process
Hello xda folks.
I'm very new to this forum and somewhat a newb at phone hardware. I'm in a bit of a dilemma here.
So this past 4th of July, I was being stupid (careless I should say). I was longboarding while on the phone (yeah I know), ate it and bam, shattered my screen. Now my screen is cracked so I hopped online and bought a new screen replacement digitizer from Amazon with good reviews so I know I'm not getting some cheap unusable part.
My phone still functions properly. Texts are coming in, I can answer calls and sort of guess my way around. Touch functions works. My backlight turns on but I get absolutely no display. My screen is black, no picture. But backlight works whenever I turn it on.
Does this mean I have a broken LCD? I'm going on a trip for a week IN a week and need my phone to work by next week. Also is there any way to tell if I have a wide or narrow flex in regards to the LCD without opening the phone? I'm waiting for my torx screw which is coming with my digitizer in a few days and can't wait that long to figure out what LCD I need if do I need one.
So my two questions are:
1. Do I need a new LCD?
2. If I do, is there a way to figure out the wide/narrow flex without opening the phone?
I apologize if this is a dumb post/asked a bunch of times. I'm just in a hurry and couldn't find the answers I needed and I'm not too knowledgeable at this stuff. Thanks for your help guys.

Theres 2 videos i used to replace mine and it works great,check to make sure you didnt miss something....
Hello!
Today dropped my phone and screen got covered in spider web. The display itself looks fine, but its covered it spiderweb. The touchscreen doesnt respond at all.
What do i need to do now? I looked at local repair shops, they ask atleast 100 euros. But on ebay i can find lcd display+screen digitizer for 55 euros shipped, or screen digitizer starting from 10 dollars!
Can i buy only screen digitizer (as i understand that top layer of glass thats cracked is screen digitizer?) and replace it? Or changing LCD display along with screen digitizer is a must?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOIR-VITRE-...Pièces_de_rechange_outils&hash=item27f98e5d31
So this should fit..right? And are all 3 models LS970, E975 and e973 really same size? Cuz i`ve read people have got smaller screens than original from some sellers on amazon.
Replacing a digitizer is pretty hard and time consuming, that's why people usually replace the whole lcd+digitizer+glass assembly. You will also need adhesive and a heater/appropriate tools. It can be a great learning experience if you don't mind potentially busting your phone. There are no shortage of instructionnal videos on youtube on the subject.
Also, a new G2 is only 190$US .... Just saying ...

As i have two other phones. The g2 mini with Tegra and a razrHD. I'll give a try, thanks for the tip.
Well, i ended up ordering that LCD+Digitzer from ebay. Everything was fine for 2 months, now i have quite large spot that doesnt respond to touches. (See attachment) i already tried disconecting the lcd and digitizer..still same. Is it worth trying to flash another rom? I already flashed stock kdz (had stock before too..)
This happened just today, right after ghost touches went crazy and rondomly oppening everything.
EDIT: That spot is changing sizes..form remains, but it got a bit smaller now. Its truly weird. I put the phone outside for few minutes (its +9C outside) and touchscreen works fine now! What is going on?
EDIT 2: After few minutes of usage, the spot is coming back

I had dropped my LG (more than a couple of times) on its face and it seemed to suffer stroke-like symptoms: one side of the screen was completely dead to touch, and the rest of the screen would occasionally act as though I was touching everywhere which opened programs and messed with the keyboard. I was stubborn and just lived with it and over time, it stopped trying open programs and whatnot. Recently, dropped it again, this time it was a bit more serious. Still no visible damage to the screen, but the "dead spot" moved to the centre of the screen, and again, occasionally tries to open programs and add words to my messages.
At first I thought it all could be related to a software issue. Unfortunately, after installing new ROMS, it never fixed the problem. I bought a digitaliser screen from Ebay as well. I'm waiting on the adhesive tape still so I can't say if this will fix anything. I kind of have a suspicion that its a loose connector (the top middle part of the screen gets super hot only after a couple of minutes of being left on).
I'm just wondering if you have tried taking it apart again to recheck the wiring? I think we may have similar problems (your situation is the first I've come by on the internet that is anywhere close to what's happening to my screen). Thanks so much!
The screen of the my lg g3 Broke
I want to buy original screen of lg... And I want to fix alone, Accompanied by guidance in Web, YouTube or something.
So... has in ebay or aliexpres original Screen for sale?
And what i should order? Just a screen or "touch" also ?
How does it work?
thank you :good:
Its not hard to do. I bought Lcd and front bezel together with screwdrivers and guitar pick for 55eur on eBay
It's obvious a screen that failed lg quality testing as it's a bit imprecise
Grand mostly tho
But do take care with speakers etc
And you'll need a hairdryer
If u have some experience of soldering and know how of internals then go for it otherwise give it some certified technician ... U can damage internals on ur own
Just buy the complete screen assembly from somewhere like etradesupply and swap that out.
Will save you the most headache in the end trust me...
Search my G2 screen replacement thread if you have some time...think you may like it
