hello everyone,
My friend's OG Pro was drop but can still power on (vibrate upon charging). The device has a 1 inch hairline crack on its touch screen digitizer but the LCD only shows a blank/no picture display when turn on.
I find this weird cause in most cases I notice that OG Pro LCD is pretty much durable even if the digitizer has a small web cracked.
Has anyone here have similar situation as my friend' phone?

The same has happened to me. I have seen people with bigger cracks on their phones while mine looked like a scratch and would not show nothing on the screen. Had it replaced and all is back to good. I guess it depends on where the crack is.

hello ricanares,
Did you try to re-connect if maybe the LCD cable connector was dislodge after the drop of your phone ?

or a full LCD screen? i thought it would just be the digitizer as this is the "screen" sitting above the LCD screen
anyone help
thanks
It depends on what's broken. If the LCD still works, then you should be fine with this.
Hi
as i said only othe screen is scratched its just on the surface the rest of the mobile is in perfect order basically the scratches are just cosmetic

i think i'm screwed. so i previosly dropped it and it got a few cracks in the top right corner only one of which dipped down onto my viewing area. functionality was not affected. really as good as you can hope for as far as cracked screens go.
dropped it again and didnt hurt the glass any more, but the screen is now black. phone is on, buttons light up, i can even USE THE SCREEN, i just cant SEE anything. i can answer calls by knowing where to swype my finger and end them by pressing where the end button is. for a brief moment the very very bottom edge had a thin stip of green-pixely-ur-fcked-dude at the bottom.
So my question is what broke??? I dont really think the previous cracks are relevant but just in case...
Things i have done: restarted the phone by holding power button. removed/reinstalled battery, unplugged/replugged screen inside phone, whapped phone a few times, squeezed phone gently in various areas, searched forums until bleary eyed, browsed internet for phone cases, browsed internet for pictures of cats, posted this thread.
the extent of my knowledge is that the screen is composed of glass on top of the digitizer on top of the AMOLED (aka the LCD?). and before i realized i could still use the screen i was praying i was super lucky and maybe the screen came unplugged. but not so.
any advice? i previously saw that replacement glass is cheap but read that the whole setup is expensive. i do not have insurance on the phone. i do intend to fix it myself.
Most likely the screen needs to be replaced now. Theres a how to on this. Ebay sells replacements.

You need a flip phone.
Definitely your LCD broke. You can buy both LCD and digitizer on eBay for about a hundred bucks I think. Its not hard to do it yourself.

For future reference did you at least have a case on it when it dropped?

No I didn't have a case on it. probly wouldnt have saved my glass given the way it landed on gravel (8 inches off the ground btw). Mighta reduced the shock that caused this problem tho.
Well I woulndnt have guessed that LCDs usually break this way. I woulda figured if I cracked the LCD or something (under the glass) that I
would just end up with a mess of colors or something. I wonder what went wrong...
So my new digitizer and LCD will come together? will I have to buy new glass seperate?
Is it possible to pilfer to digitizer/LCD from a used phone with cracked glass? Probly not huh, cuz the videos seem to show them getting destroyed upon removal.
Thanks for the info guys.
Is there any physical damage to the phone you can see? If not, pm me as I may have an idea.

Well search is down at the moment, so here goes: I have an Optimus G that finally met it's demise. My glass screen is completely shattered but the image underneath is still clear and no discoloration. Obviously it doesn't respond to touch anymore. Do I only need to purchase a digitizer to do the repair or should I get the digitizer+lcd replacement? I just need a simple clarification.
Digitizer and lcd. The lcd on a factory phone is 'glued' to the Digitizer I believe. I couldn't get the lcd off my original evo anyway

He might as well. Although I'm sure you can heat and remove the glass to attach a new glass if the LCD is still good, the price on the glass for the LGOG is a bit steep as its not just a piece of glass, its also the digitizer. A big difference from a Galaxy. I can easily get a glass for my Note at like 10-20 bucks and just glue it on and be all set. That is not the case for the Optimus G, the glass works as the digitizer which I'm assuming why it's a bit expensive.
Edit: I just looked into it some more and it definitely is a complicated task. In all the how to vids they replaced the whole thing, glass and LCD. I guess that's why it's hard to find just the glass. Most sellers sell the glass and LCD together already.
Edit # 2: I finally found just the glass for $38. It actually was 80 last night but I guess the seller dropped the price.

^^^That's what you need. However if you do attempt it be aware that there's no how to videos on separating the glass from lcd. So after heating up the phone to remove it from the housing you're more than likely going to have to reheat the screen again to begin the glass/LCD separation. Oh and you might need some LOCA adhesive and a UV light to bond the new glass in.

you need both >> however i would go for an OEM one ....
i bought a cheap one from china, the ones without the LG logo on top, and it sucks. There is like a small strip that doesnt respond to the touch, its fine because i didnt notice until i started playing with "sketchbook mobile" but still. and it you look at it at an angle through the light its not smooth and perfectly straight like the original one, AND when you tap SLIGHTLY hard .. you see that liquidy effect ... not cool! .. not annoying either .. just a heads up if you do decide to fix it>

Thankfully i dropped my nexus7 with a poetic case that i got in the mail yesterday. The tablet screen looks ok (no cracks). the back of devise has a crack near the power button about the length of the camera cut out. there is also a slight crack near the camera about half the length of the camera cut out.
the devise will turn on, but all i can see is a "lit" blank screen. I can't see anything else. It just displays white light. can this be fixed and if so how?
Your backlight works still, but your LCD has either come loose internally, or you have broken it so that it will not display a screen :\

so if i were to repair it i would need to only buy a LCD screen? how to check if the LCD is loose internally? can you provide screen shots and or a vid of someone pointing out the location. LCD can become broken even with no cracks to the screen

If you need screens, you may not want to attempt the fix. Its not terribly difficult, but you should have a general knowledge of hardware repair and electricity. Ifixit has a teardown

I just replaced the digitizer and most of the housing for my 4G AT&T Xperia Play. It successfully turned on and charges, but the screen doesn't respond to my swiping or tapping. It does change orientation when the game pad is pulled out and the game pad does work since I can use it to navigate the menu when I press and hold the power button. Does anyone know what I messed up? And is there a ROM that allows the use of the game pad for all operations if I can never get the screen digitizer to work?
So now I can charge it and turn it on, but I can't swipe to open get past the lock screen...
Does anyone have any ideas, please?
Besides not having the ribbon cables plugged in no I dont have any ideas. I replaced my screen once and it worked fine.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Maybe it is because I used super glue as an adhesive to glue the glass on?

I would not assume the super glue has anything to do with it unless you caked it on. Funny thing though, as soon as I did my old swap I realized how much worse the Chinese lcd was from the oem Sony screen. Weird ghosting and shadowing when moving in side scrolling games. Sold the Xperia and bought another one on Craigslist.
