[Q] Replacement Screen - Sprint LG Optimus G

Long story, but my screen is fully cracked and I need a new replacement screen. (Btw the screen and the phone work but I just can't use the touchscreen.) So is this the correct screen im supposed to get? : http://www.amazon.com/LG-Optimus-Sp...=8-3&keywords=lg+optimus+g+replacement+screen
I'm gonna be using these videos to replace the screen :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4uspcvx3f0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xnfQDnAN7o Are these reliable enough? Has anyone used these videos before and it worked fine?
Also, what screwdrivers and any other tools do I need to fix the phone?
Please reply as soon as possible, I really want to use my phone again
Thanks.

Well here is the LG service manual to start. http://d-h.st/agQ

You should need a t5 screwdriver and make sure the lcd comes with double sided tape. Be very careful not to damage the ribbon when replacing it. It's easy to do. The back is really easy to crack as well.

Thanks. I dont think it comes with double sided tape. Is there a specific kind of tape I should get or just normal double sided tape?

If you look up lcd tape you should find some that should work fine (they call it 3m adhesive). I think 2mm or 3mm would be fine. Some lcd's also ship with it. One more thing is they have ones cut for the shape of the phone to make it easier, but they cost more.

plastic screen which u want is not a film its a touch panel which allows u to tap ur device so dont try to change it ur self its very sensitive and get damaged easily if u still want to change """" I highly recomand u to go to the service center of ur device and ask them to replace and put an original one"""".
Hum... didn't know that.
I found this in eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LCD-Touch-Scr...ryZ41343QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Anybody knows if it is 100% compatible?
I was really tempted in changing it myself, using rubber gloves, if electrostatic discharges is the main risk.

It might be.
There are three different LCD's that have been used in the angel, with two different touch screen panels.
The one you linked to is a Toppoly. There is also a Sony, which has a smaller cable.
As for replacement, if you can do surface mount soldering on a plastic cable, go for it. The touch screen assembly is not on a socket like the LCD and keyboard is.

Replace Chrome trim on SGS2?

I'm trying to find a source on whether I can replace the trim know my phone since it's been dinged from the previous owner as well as myself.
I've found some the link to the replacement screen thread but it doesn't say if the lcd is part of the top or how to get it out? I've seen some oem housings online but not sure if I can remove my lcd which is fine and put it in the newer housing?
Is there glue or adhesive that holds it in?
Thanks for any help.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
You just need to unscrew the backplate and exchange it.
No glue no adhesives or something. it just sits there.
It will take about 10 minutes or so..
Here is a picture of the part:
Mine fell out of its place, the last i had the phone opened and i´m to lazy to put it back.
Edit: sorry for that huuuuge picture.. blame our 8mp camera.

Sorry - but I think we have a misunderstanding. I'm talking about the chrome trim around the entire LCD not the camera.
oh.. honestly i don´t think that the part you described is chrome. Atleast not on my GSII
and the thing i posted is the shiny ring around the headphone plug.
OP its not chrome its plastic..
1) replace the whole screen housing with with working parts from say ebay
2) buy a whole SGS2 housing unit and plus top screen ( this option you'll need to remove youe current lcd screen and once replaced in new housing the top screen needs to be bonded to housing. (M3 double sided tape or a thin silcon glue)
3) take it to a service centre
4)keep it as it is..
as par your question
Is there glue or adhesive that holds it in? Yes.
Top screen will need to be heated with hot air to release it from its bond.

Thanks - that's what I wanted to hear. So it's more effort than I'd like to spend on it. Looks like I'll just move the phone to try something else.

Htc Desire Eye Partial Disassembly

Guys I just want to give you a hint in disassembling this device through images attached herein.
I think I don't need to elaborate much, just rely on the pic. ( And besides, Im not that good in english grammar lol)
This is for those users who badly need to open their device in case of non warranty.
Goodluck.
Thanks a lot!! I was wondering how hard would it be a battery replacement on this thing. Seems fairly easy (at least compared to One X). How hard was it to separate both parts?
I don't know how to explain but it's not that hard mate.it has double adhesive at the back but it is removable, just take care of it.
Thanks, I ****ed up my screen and repair will be 250-300 euros if I don't do it myself, so I needed this . I'll post some photo's when I have replaced the entire screen (both LCD and glass broken).
screen/digitizer
Anyone who has taken the phone apart know if the LCD and glass/digitizer are fused? I have a desire eye with cracked glass but an intact LCD and was wondering if I need to buy the entire assembly, or if I can get away with just the glass/digitizer. Appreciate any info in addition to what's already been posted. Thanks!

It doesn't affect it as far as I know, couldn't find any "special seals" on it except for some double-sided tape.

Any chance on that video yet, or do you have a delivery date of your screen? I should get mine between today and the 4/5th of May. Will post own results or pictures, but would prefer a guide. Also does anyone have a video on atleast detaching the top and bottom parts (little top pannel and bottom pannel) of the Desire Eye?

I'm thinking of opening my Eye up because the back light has stopped working.
I don't understand why, it has just been sitting around for a month. Everything else works.
Maybe something came loose?

The only issue is I have already "tampered" with the device (S-Offed.)
I'm sure they would have that void the warranty.

Just relock it and flash stock firmware. And I dont think that voids the warranty for your screen, just for the software part.
guys i bought a desire eye.but the camera quality is not good as they mentioned.especially in the night.also battery life is not good.it is made in thaiwan..is it a original one or a copy?i need a good advice.
can't find the crop me in feature also..i didn't use a sim card yet..is that the problem?or what?i'm stuck with this now
Posting in an old thread but....
The glass on my Desire EYE is shattered, still works however. Doesn't look to hard to open up, watching that YouTube video.
Does anyone have a guide on replacing the whole display assembly? I can pick on up on eBay for about £75, and I'm comfortable doing it myself. I've also sent an email to HTC, asking if I'm eligible for their deal where they'll fix your cracked screen so long as you've owned the phone less than a year, and to ask them how much it would cost me for them to replace the screen.
At this point, it might just work out cheaper to buy a Moto G and a Otterbox case for it.
Thanks

Oneplus X Glass Repair

I recently bought a cracked oneplus x in hopes of fixing and using it. So I went ahead, heated it up and took the glass off. This went fine. I set the heat around 90-100° C and the glass came off just like it would from any other phone. The display is only glued on on the sides/bezels unlike Samsung phones in which the whole panel is glued down. This obviously made things easier. To my surprise the loca came off pretty easily with some rubbing alcohol. Before removing the glass you have to take off the soft keys, which are glued to the glass. These are connected to the back of the screen assembly by a connector which you can see in the pictures. It was when I went to buy the part I realized I had made a mistake: I couldn't find any. So I am stuck with this for now, and if anyone knows where I could buy the glass please give me a link. Regardless, I hope this is informational and helpful to anyone who might want to attmept this in the future.

I was hoping to do a glass only repair with loca uv glue since the glass alone is substantially cheaper. Thanks, however, I atleast have that as a backup, since it is at a pretty reasonable price for an amoled panel, if it takes too long for the glass to be available.
till now .it seems only this site sell the oneplus x lcd display.it looks like a professional website and can be trust

m opx screen got a crack after it fell down Touch is working and i had initially thought of replacing the entire set which cost around 8k but after reading your thread i feel it can be done by replacing just the cracked portion.
Can you guide me on how to get it done ? pls ping me on whatsapp 9633318375 (Sony, kerala)
Could you pls tell me how to put the glass of the phone ? Ping me on whatsapp (081282213266) isya pramesta
I would also love to know how you got the glass off!
I bought the glass by itself, and I'm hoping that I would be able to recreate your result, so if you can tell me a bit more about the process that would be nice!
Did anybody get more details pics/instructions on just replacing the glass, mine arrived today and I would like to get it done?
Also does anybody have a specific recommendation on the LOCA adhesive to use to glue the glass back on?

Please any one suggest me how to replace only the front glass of one plus x
This is above and beyond being that the part for glass+LCD is like $30 on ebay.. Like you're risking the fact that the adhesive is like a little worse and a sunny day could easily destroy everything. If you're going to repair this phone, do the glass and LCD together.
Thanks for your reply...

I have few questions, what did you use to heat up the display ? I don't have a heat gun, will a hair dryer do the job ?
Also are there any ribbon cables which I need to be careful about while doing the process?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, i did. But no video for oneplus x.
And since it has a super amoled. I dont want to take any chances.
I have only one shot.
Totally agree with all of you, I recently purchased just the front panel glass and really wanted to replace it, only for my local phone repair place won't do it without the lcd and digitizer... If someone can post pics or tell me if a hair dryer will do the job, I would give it a go myself

Replace the front glass instead of entire digitizer.. Has anyone done this?

I've seen the videos on replacing the screen including the digitizer but has anyone changed just the glass?
My phone did a face plant but the digitizer still works.. fingerprint scanner and touches all over phone are still responding.
The glass alone is about $20 but the full screen is about $120.
Screen only replacement is very difficult since u mist get the glue to release the glass from the digitizer without damaging it
I've delaminated Droid Maxx to replace the glass. Lots of careful work with a heat gun and spudger. The new glass had to be bonded back. If you don't, the reflections make the screen pretty unusable and the glass fragile to breaking again. To much heat and you fry the LCD.

was the video for the moto z play? where did you find it? I bought the kit, and want to see if the phone requires a removal of the entire digitizer, or if the glass can be done in place.

Good luck on seperation the digitizer from the glass without breaking the digitizer, it's super thin and unless you have the correct tools and glue forget it.
Trust me I have replaced my screen twice now which in itself was extremely hard.
Do not use double sided tape but the correct adhesive is need something like B7000.

I need to heat the glass with a heat gun in order to separate the glass from the phone, moto has pack in loads of adhesive so you need to heat and seperate the glass slowly, the finger print scanner is taped to the under side of the digitizer, so be carefully.
You can not use double sided tape to remount the glass screen nor can you use the existing adhesive, buy new adhesive. You'll find it on eBay or Amazon.
I broke my first screen and replaced it my second one wasn't mounted correctly and the digitizer broke not the glass, so that tells you how thin the display is
I've been at it for over 2-1/2 hours. got the glass off in 2 pieces without doing any damage to the lcd, or so I thought, before permanently adhering the new glass I reconnected the panel and found about 1/3 of the bottom is dead. I cannot see any damage but it has to be something that happened while removing the glass.
oh well.
as an aside, I did not pay attention when I removed the 2 ribbon cables as to how far into the socket they go. there is a stripe on each, but neither go in quite that far, maybe within a 1/16", is this correct?
I also noticed on the lcd top, opposite to the video cable there is another connector about the same size as the one for the button, any idea what that is for?
thanks again
