After Repair Issues - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hi, I cracked the screen on my Nexus 7 (2013) and I replaced the LCD+digitizer. Now I have a big dead spot in the middle of the screen and it cuts out when I drag my finger across the screen.
Any help would be much appreciated!

This issue has come up enough times. Look for instance at THIS thread. There are so many possibilities as to why, it's impractical to generalize. In your case,however, I highly suspect the digitizer itself. But it depends on whether you replaced the combo, or the lcd and digitizer individually. While it's too late to mention it, you should've tested the thing before sticking it to the bezel. Some vendors would nevertheless consider a replacement if you can send it back to them. Good luck.

[Q] Ace II Replaced Screen

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

Replacement screen. LCD is smaller?! Keep missing onscreen buttons.

Hello everyone.
The LCD of my S3 was broken so I ordered a replacement screen on eBay.
It arrived and I replaced it without incident. (It was an LCD + Frame + digitizer assembly)
But after a couple hours I noticed that the LCD is a couple of millimeters smaller on each side.
It is really not noticeable on first sight. The first days I dismissed it because it was something that didn't bug me too much.
But I noticed that I keep mistyping when I'm using the keyboard. Also I keep missing other onscreen buttons and it drives me insane!
I think this is because the digitizer is made for a larger LCD.
First I thought that it was a software problem, but you can see the borders even when the display is off.
I tried taking a picture and you can definitely see it on the left and the bottom border.

Should I ask for an RMA? Or am I seeing ghosts here??
Love to hear your thoughts.
That s not an SAMSUNG OEM LCD Display.. Look at capacitive buttons color...

If you look at the spacing the Samsung logo at both the top and bottom, there is an extra bit of space and as you rightly said, the bezels on the sides are a bit thicker. If it gives you peace of mind, then go for the RMA, but chances are you might end up getting the same thing. Maybe you could try a different seller? Where did you purchase it from?

Yeah probably not
The capacitive buttons are the normal white color. In the picture they are not on.

Is there a seller you recommend?
I guess I'm just going to keep using it and wait for the next gen smartphones.
Thanks for the info!
Touch function Not working
Hi,
I am using Galaxy S3 Korean Version (SHV-E210L).
I have tried TraingleAway V2.35 to reset flash counter. But it did not reset flash counter, but damaged touch function. Now my phone display is working, but touch function is not working. I am using OTG cable with Mouse for urgent works.
I have two things which i need answer. Can some one help me.. ::crying:
1. Before i fix this, i need to reset flash counter anyway. But latest versions of TraingleAway are not working for this model and Previous versions from V2.35 is also give massge stating "Are you not using ICS". Phone has Android 4.3. So can some one give me a solution?
2. I want to fix touch problem and i search for digitizer in Ebay. But there are digitizers for GT-I9300, but not for SHV-E210L? Is digitizer for 9300is compatible for SHV-E210L? Further waht is screen lens means? Is it digitizer?
Thanks a lot

Hi, that's about the price I paid for supposedly genuine (but not) screens on ebay for my S3, my buttons are also not white as mentioned above.
The first screen I fitted went faulty after about an hour, took a while to get a refund, I had to pay postage back.
Second screen cracked after a very small drop, digitiser was OK, bought replacement screen but when changing it (with heat, etc) the digitiser separated from its backing rather than the screen.... maybe me being ham fisted but I think it was a different bonding used
Third screen/digitiser assembly now has a crack running right across it, and I've not ever dropped it! It still works so I'm leaving it alone and buying a new phone this time.
Also I find the paint comes off the frame very easily by taking it out of a hard case or screen mount and mine looks a mess after a couple of months, and the frame joint is obvious and creaks when pressed.
So these screen aren't very good - but I couldn't find a definitely genuine screen for a price that was worth bothering to fix the phone.... I would definitely get a tempered glass protector if I did fit another of these.....

[Q] Nexus 7 touch Problem.

I was recently given a Nexus 7, I am interested in repairing it but need a little help in knowing exactly what part(s) i need to replace. I have little to no experience with cellphones/tablets
The nexus 7 was given 2 me with 2 problems.
1. the USB no longer charged so i replaced the USB/audio mini jack component inside and it is now charging.
Upon powering the device on I can see there is a crack down the center of the screen.
2. One side of the crack the screens touch sensor responds. on the other side of the crack there is no response to touch. or at least seems to think i am pressing in the same location no matter where i am pressing.
the display picture is still sharp and clear, So i am assuming i need a new digitizer?
You will need a new digitizer and also make sure to get some Aluminum foil

Screen cracked for no reason?

Hi, I've just got a 5x. First day out and about and I've been treating it with the utmost care and just got home to spot a fine crack across the screen.
I've no idea what could have caused this.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Advice please

Where was the destination you bought it from? Be careful of bidding sites and others where they can keep their products in poor condition. If you have a warranty or want a refund you can check with your insurance.

Nexus 5x screen cracked as well.
I recently discovered that my phone has a small hairline crack spanning from one side of the screen to the other. It begins between the lock screen button and volume rocker and ends about 2/3 of the way down on the left side of the screen. Not quite sure what could have caused it.
Are we sure that these aren't deep scratches? The 5X only has gorilla glass 3.

No Display after dropping phone

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
