Hi, I am in dire need of help...
I dropped my phone, broke the screen and swapped it out for a brand new one. During the swap I managed to make a very small crack at the edge of the new screen... Now the top 3/4 inch doesn't respond.
I find this very strange since when my screen was completely shattered touch worked normally, but now a small crack and it doesn't work? Does that sound normal? Could there maybe be any other underlying problems?
Any help or input would be appreciated...
Thanks
You clearly don't like your DHD and DHD don't like you
Joke.
Well, this surely sounds like interesting but as far as i know, you managed to break the connectors of touchscreen during the replacement. Touchscreen fails (although not completely) = you clearly need a new one, if it is even possible to replace. And about the thing, that this didn't happen when u dropped the phone is because it might only damaged it a little and it still worked, but when changing the glass, the damage extended.
The touchscreen is a layered device. When you shattered it you only broke the outside layer. Sounds like you broke another layer plus the outside layer this time.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Layered digitizer, didn't know that. That makes sense to me because the crack in my new screen isn't superficial (meaning I can't "touch" the crack, it's on the inside I guess).
Thanks again, I guess I'm buying a new digitizer and hope that works, sucks not being able to touch the top portion of the screen!
I've broken my screen, to be accurate not me but some dude, he paid for the new screen. Ofcourse, he picked the most ****ty store he could to fix it to pay less money for it, it was horrible. Light from the side of the phone was leaking, the buttons didn't light up well, the front camera lense was missing and most importantly the screen itself wasn't like before. First of all, it fell off from the phone all the time ( with just the two connectors connected ), it was horrible pale and etc.
Being the social akward I am, I was silent about it, and got used to the screen after I glued it.
Anywho, yesterday without any warning or anything screen stopped working. Sound is playing, digitizer is prolly working, screen? nah. Black screen. I opened it up few times before as the LCD connector disconnected, it was okay. Now the connector was inside still, connected and I opened it and tried to tighten it up, thought it was loose or something. Nope, still no screen.
Now I come to you, xda, with the need of help.
Where can I buy a REAL. LCD2, like stock screen?
And if its possible, how can I identify if the screen I got earlier IS lcd2 original screen? ( the seller said it was, obviously it wasn't )
Thanks! ( Really hope for fast answer )

Hey all
Thought write up and ask what others have bought and changed on their ASUS ZE551ML
Thought maybe share any experiences on what to buy or not buy from
I have changed
Wi-Fi antenna
USB board
Vibrator
Battery
Flex cable
Screen and frame and LCD in one
With the replacement screens and frame combo with LCD, you have to also bring across from the original the camera lens foam or create one as stops dust getting on lens
And that Wi-Fi antenna, so small had to use a microscope tool to see where plugs into
Vibrator connector also breaks easy as well

I've changed the speaker, battery, and the lower board, but the thing I've changed the most is the screen. The screen was cracked when I first received my phone, and I've cracked it twice more since I've owned it. Probably shouldn't try to hold onto it while playing with my dogs, haha. I actually have a replacement screen coming in right now.
Nothing yet, but I ordered an LCD+frame because I got the infamous tearing problem. At the same time I will replace my power button that is kind of stuck and does not work properly.

Haha you're a legend at it then, changing the screens and opening it up
Did you transfer the camera surround foam across?
I initially didn't and within a couple months the front camera and touch sensor behind the underside of the glass had like white dust and affected the selfie camera

I honestly don't remember if I did or not. I haven't had any issues with the FFC either way.
When I said I've changed the screen, I meant that I just ordered the screen + frame assembly. I've only changed the itself on a phone once and I'm never going to attempt to diu that again; it was too much effort and the adhesive ended up bring poor quality.

I just changed mine, I transferred the foam/rubber for the front camera, the upper speaker, a tiny bit of foam in the lower right corner, and also the notification LED has a kind of opaque square at the bottom and a piece of square white rubber you have to put on the new frame too. I first forgot it and when I had a notification I was directly seeing the LED on the PCB
EDIT: I used this youtube video for the how-to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieSFL0kIsAI
I think i need to replace my battery... the problem is getting a new one :/

Exactly what I had to do with the new frame after finding out I did it wrong after putting it all back together and then of course had to take it apart again
My fix for the sponge/rubber around both cameras and also the sensors worked and no dust gets under them anymore

Dude so many replacements... would be easier to just get a new one no?
Sure Aliexpress have the batteries but they are 3rd party and they don't mention the manufacturing date :/ Going to all the trouble to replace the current one to another that might be worse, i don't really want to take that chance. My battery appears to have what i think is some cells damaged or some bad voltage reader, because when it reaches 25% it it goes rapidly to near zero in a few minutes :/ but besides that it actually last what appears to be on par with the duration (charge) announced.

actually i got 4,5 devices for development purpose and was declared motherboard dead by service center. i was able to revive them with SOC only. so i did experiment with replacing chip. some of them had issue with certain part and broken screen. that happened to my very own purchased.
i bought from ali and it is working very well. you may get one with manufactured date mention on it

i have purchased lot of stuff from ali even new laptop. it is secure. but delivery takes little longer time.
You guys are too Nerdy Nerdy
I fried my flex antenna a while ago. And one time i already buy the cover that with the camera lens but without the flex antenna. I didn't check the page throughly. The seller did say that the cover didn't have any antenna on it. I just want to tell you guyz if you want to buy the cover, do check the page throughly, read all, check all images. I knew the it didnt have the flex antenna after i check all of the images.
Where did you get the battery? was it OEM?
I changed motherboard.
sorry for bringing this up but need some help...!
i just got a damaged zenfone 2 where i replaced bottom pcb and speaker and it is in a working state . but i do have a big problem with the wifi signal. it is very weak and i have to stand next to my router to get wifi.
is there any fix around. i suspect i did something on my last repair but i dont know what . other than that the phone is working ok now.
in my previous asus i have replaced
3 times the lcd
3 times usb port
2 speakers
but on my last disassembly i damaged the antenna cable socket on the motherboard so it wasn't working on sim1.... probably i need a new mobo.
I need to change the screen, I fell, the screen broke and the touch works badly, I can't get the spare in my country
Any idea ?
EDIT: and i need the Power button, when fell i lost the button
the touch screen does though, annoyingly so, I can myself making a phone call trying to get the screen to display. The contacts at the ribbon for the display are all good and intact, both sides, I know cuz I've ruined them accidentally twice on two motherboards so I'm very careful now, board was tested good before I bought it on ebay, connector fully seated and locked... are there other points on the motherboard that effect just the display? Any you guys in here get this deep in this phone? This is the worst phone to dismantle. How to troubleshoot touch screen good, but no display?
Hi,
Unfortunately for me i dropped my phone and cracked my tempered glass in several places. gladly the screen underneath was perfectly fine after drop however, it has developed a fault as the screen won't turn on at all. I tried turning it off and restarting and although i can hear the boot up logo sound i see no picture at all. i can receive calls but cannot answer due to screen not displaying.
The screen had four main pressure cracks.... one is top left, one on the ear speaker, one bottom middle and one bottom left of phone. hopefully you can see it in picture.
Can you give advice on what to try or do to resolve this? will i need a new screen or disassemble to see what the issue is?
I've only had the phone for 2/3 months at most
Thanks in advance
looks like i will answer my own question....
i bought a replacement lcd & digitiser, one complete unit and swapped the necessary components over to new screen. all is working and good. not sure if the screen is repairable but there are other parts inside this screen worth selling on. it still has a non cracked immaculate screen along with the charging port and other stuff inside old screen.
at a cost of £70, i consider this an expensive fix
Thanks for the input kakawak
cheers
