Re Blue Angel Touch Screen
I also did the same with mine two weeks ago (Cracked the screen)
Took out the left hand screw of my XDA 2s and then took it back to O2 shop and made out that it was because the screw fell out that the screen broke I know its a bit naughty but I got mine replaced for a new one

Naughty indeed. i like the way you think though. the prob is i kinda know the fella in the shop. does it have to be the shop that i bought it in.?

craked screen
Dont think it matters as long as its a o2 shop (in my case)
I just took it to the shop with the warranty 2 weeks ago as i had droped the XDA i took out the top left hand screw and said because the screw was loose it made the screen crack when i touched it with the stylus.
They replaced it under the warranty for a nice brand new one.
Now got 2 batteries and 2 chargers.

mabye i'll just do that. i was gonna get a screen of e-bay. but your way sounds better
thanks

No probs good luck but remember that it is possiable that this could happen (Screw coming out screen cracks) So dont let O2 fob you off and say it is not coverd by the warranty because the situation can happen.

mine is cracked too, but i have to get one off ebay cause it's out of warranty
(only £20 though so not as bad as when i broke the actual lcd - that was £90)

Was the screen hard to replace?

the lcd was kinda easy, and that involved removing the touch screen so i guess not (my new touchscreen hasn't arrived yet)

did you get your touch screen ?was it easy to install ?

I replaced my touchscreen (without LCD) by myself. It is not very hard. You have to solder 4 small cables. If you can handle the tiny screws and aren't afraid soldering 4 cables onto a 7 mm flatband cable. No Problem.
It is a little bit tricky to open the device because of the slider. The two cables of the slider are just plugged in onto the mainboard, so you can just pull them out with a screwdriver.

Plz help me........

Hi mate!
I have one brand new that I bought but never installed.
For your information I can advise you that you cannot change that single piece due to construction of the Galaxy S2.
I can explain you why telling my story. My Galaxy S2 went to bath and home button stopped working, so I realized I needed to replace the capacitive and home button flex module as it got damaged. I bought one original piece from a German seller on ebay and tried to replace it with the damaged one. I can assure you I'm very expert repairing phones and I know well our beloved Galaxy S2, but due to the very thin construction of the phone, the glass is glued hard to the LCD and the home button ribbon cable is between these two pieces, as you have to detach the glass from the LCD to reach it.
Why you cannot change it? You cannot detach the glass from the LCD without breaking the screen as it is truly very thin, imagine about 1mm thickness or less. As the glass is glued very hard to the screen, you cannot distribute the forces when detaching it and you'll end breaking the screen with 90% probability. I broke mine when trying and I did the whole process very carefully, knowing it was very fragile.
So, if your home button or your capacitive keys stopped working I would not recommend you trying to change it as you'll have 90% chance of having the LCD broken too.
Sadly, you'll have to change the whole front module (glass, LCD, front bezel frame and of course home button cable, all included). It's a very expensive repair, but the front module is very easy to replace and you can do it on your own.
I bought one genuine like new without scratches from a salvage Galaxy S2 from Samsung repair centre for about 80,00USD. I can give you the link if you want to buy one too.
Sad to tell you this.
Hope it can help you.
Cheers.

[Q] Black screen, flex cable?

Recently my play with no recent modification + stock kernel + treated always with care started to light the screen less than normal (but still working) and now the screen is totally black, it only vibrates pressing the power button.
I tried flashtool many times but nothing.
I searched in the forum and probably is a trouble with the flex cable (also cause sliding sometimes changed the intensity of screen's light), but how can I be sure that is exactly this piece? Also I'm not so good at taking apart phones (but i'll try if i'll be almost sure that is the flex cable)...
No warranty (too old) and I don't know how much i'll pay at sony center...
I was always afraid about the slider cause too shaky in my opinion.

"sliding sometimes changed the intensity of screen's light"
Most definitely your flex cable. It needs to be changed.

Yeah... I only have to cross my fingers cause if it's not the cable I don't really know what could be...
Is there a way in case that works to increase the new flex cable's life? I don't really want to fight with this anymore...

Get a new phone.

I'll miss the gamepad and all emulators too much...
But surely i'm not going to spend a lot of money on the play.

Black screen is a sign the flex cable broke. On the other hand by the time you replace something else might of broke. If you saw a disassebly video on the xperia play you will literally take the whole thing a apart including the gamepad.

Good luck while replacing flex cable.
I changed it on my phone and on another 2 of my friends, it is not very easy to do, but still better than trash your phone
I can give you little tips to make it working longer as I did on mine.
PLACE A STICKER ON A CABLE on one or on both sides, you can cut a sticker to make it fit the most to cable and you can glue edges if needed. It is good to prevent from scratching and breaking cable caused by sliding phone.
Tips while you repairing your phone:
​When you are going to put Flex cable on its place, you should perfectly fit that three little 'tails' to its holes if you don't your display will touch a digitizer and make a spots on your screen.
​And after you connect flex cable with motherboard try to press the cable the most you can 'under the motherboard' because flex cable is getting a damage if you don't do this.

Now i have time to replace the flex so i'll try and see if the phone will work.
Is adhesive tape good inside the phone? Or is insulating tape (that is thicker than adhesive tape...) better? Or other/nothing?
PS: Did it! The phone works good :good:

Volume flex cable

Hey,
I just replaced my front screen. I ended up getting the lcd + digitizer + frame assembly replacement part and had to basically move the flex cables from one frame to the other. While doing this I accidentally damaged the volume flex cable. Finding a replacement volume flex for this phone seems to be impossible for me. Does anyone know where I could possibly find a replacement?
The model is a Canada E973.
Thanks,
Jaycuse

I found this
stellatech.com/lg-e975-optimus-g-volume-flex-cable,a,en,814988.html
Sorry can't link because I don't have enough posts.
Do you think it would be the same peice as the lg e975 .. I imagine if it's a similar case and the same mainboard it should be the same thing. Could anyone confirm?

[Q] Water damage?

Hi guys I have a LG G Pad 7 v400.
My 2yo recently got my GPad wet I think I saved the CPU/motherboard From getting wet but the screen did get wet. I can see what appears to be water damage behind or between the screens. Was wondering if anyone knew if the digitizer and Lcd are fused together or separate.
Or if this is water inside the LCd.. I have ever never debt with water damage before so thanks for any help... Here is a picture.

You'll most likely have to buy a new LCD panel and replace it. Depending on where you live, there are shops around that will do it. I know around here, we have 2 shops that do phone and tablet repair. They are very good.

That's what I was thinking. I was just hoping someone would have a quick fix. I do all my screen repairs myself i just hate to have to replace the screen on 10 do old tablet..

Actually you can do it yourself to. Opening 7.0 model is so easy ( I try write today manual for this too). Right now it looks this way.
If you familiar with heat gun and detaching digitizers at lcd, then you just can detach digitizer, dry and clean digitizer and lcd, and you are done.
One little warning: You must start detaching at top side g pad to down side simultaneously with both sides (left and right), because digitizer connecting cable placed on bottom side, where the charging port located. You can have little preview here.

That is where I am at rite now. I disassembled my G Pad.. The last thing I want to know is. Is the LDC & digitizer fused together like a lot if the newer phones or is it just glued around the edges with double sided sticker tape.?
Thanks for you help...

This is quote from thread, what i found, when i wrote howto for g pad 7.0 teardown:
Tip and Warning! For all these who start change only digitizer.
Investigated how digitizer/front glass is attached to LCD plastic bezel I found that digitizer can be detached from LCD plastic bezel with heatgun and metallic pry tool (or some other thin tool).
You MUST start detaching at top and moving with both sides to bottom.
Be careful, the digitizer cable located on bottom side near connector where goes mainboard flex cable. You can see it on 08.jpg (not best photo, but you can get aim).
