[Q] Replacement screen for Z1 Compact - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any experiences with cheaper "oem" replacement screens found on ebay? Actually around 40$...

Just replaced mine two days ago with a cheap $40 one.
All i can say, you get what you pay for. The lighting on the sides of the screen are a bit too noticiable, and the gamma seems to be a bit off.
I haven't had the chance to see if tweaking the white balance whould solve that.
However at a fraction of the price of new oem screen, i am satisfied enough.
Even on a really sunny day, in direct sunlight, the screen is clear enough.

[4$] X1 Touch Screen/Digitizer Module

Sony Ericsson X1 Replacement Touch Screen/Digitizer Module
Price: $4.08 free shipping
I just ordered 2 This renders the protection screens useless.
Cheers!
Cool, just have to find out if it is really genuine! You never know, its DX.. If it actually is, bye bye irritating screen protectors.
I will post photos when I receive it. I'm eager to remove the thick plastic cover I use to protect the screen - the touch sensitivity is definitely affected by its thickness.
I doubt this is a genuine part - what's important is to work as such.
DX is slow during christmas and new year season, so you might have to wait a long time for it. Also the hong kong post is slow now
But i am waiting eagerly for the photos!
Hope it will perform well.
i just orderd this one..

its working 100% and its oem. only 5$ for shipping. also its really hard taking off the original digitizer/glass. its glued on so make sure you take your time when your doing it because you can break your lcd. also the one i purchased was pre-glued with plastic on it so it was easy to put on.
I doubt there is a difference between these two, considering the price.
OMG, I just buy a piece from eBay for $7 + $3 shipping fee. poor me....mad:

I'm still waiting my order ... dealextreme free shipping, you know
hi.. i am working on a new project with touchscreen..
can any one provide me links where i could buy this module...
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32335
Here u go. The same link is in the first post.
I've just recived mine, here are some photos. How it works i will be able to tell next week, i think, because I don't think i am able to change it myself.
I'm afraid the cargo camel that brings the goods from hongkong probably has a flat tyre somewhere in the desert... so my digitizer is still on the way.
For anyone that had experience replacing the digitizer, does it involve soldering??
I don't think it needs soldering. I fitted one to my Orbit 2 and that had a similar ribbon like the X1 digitizer. It just has connector that the ribbon pushes into.
This is an excellent screen protector to protect your new digitizer: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23639
They do not need soldering. Just got done replacing mine with this a few weeks back. Took me about 3 hours. I also purchased this set of tools as well: dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29544
They are invaluable, if I didn't have them I would have never got past the first couple steps.
I used this tutorial mostly (along with a couple others) to guide my way thru: formymobile.co.uk/xperiadisassembly.php
There are also many other ones if you google X1 disassembly. The only part I F-ed up on was during the removal of the metal trim ring that is glued to the old broken digitizer module. This is very thin. I bent mine in a couple of spots. Use a heat gun to warm it and it will slide right off.
Reassembly went OK. If I remember right something fell out and I couldn't figure out where it went but after looking at multiple guides I figured it out.
Mine works 100%, already ordered another one. I see they also have the actual LCD screen now too at Dealextreme.
Thanks for the info. I think I got some water leak in the digitizer. A little bit of the upper right corner area was not working last week. But the whole touch panel is not working today (already flash stock rom back to make sure it's not software issue). I think I will just buy the LCD+Digitizer in ebay (about $40) and let's see how it goes....
Just want to report back. My touchscreen is back to working with the new LCD+Digitzer. $29 form here: http://www.ezelektronix.com/index.php?target=products&product_id=1872&current_cat_id=276 which is relatively cheap. Takes 2 weeks for me to receive the package.
Hi all
So I finally got my parcel from AX
Can someone tell how to replace it
Thanks in advance
i changed the Digitizer only.
with help of a heatgun and a sharp knife.
Hi guys,
I remember I also bought a digitizer once for a HTC prophet and the quality was noticeably lower than the original. I lost contrast on screen and had other issues. Is this one exactly the same quality as the original touch screen ?

Screen Replacement

Anyone know a cheap place to get a screen replacement for our phone? my sister has the white one and she cracked the screen. Phone looks to still be fully functional but there is absolutely no visibility save for a minor green line that appears once in a while at the top of the screen.
I checked ebay and all i can find is like $160 was hoping to spend less than that. =(

Source for OEM screen assembly?

I dropped my P600 and broke the digitizer. I read here that it was nearly impossible to replace just the glass, so I bought a replacement screen assembly from etradesupply, where I have had good experiences in the past. However, the quality of the screen is night and day from the original. The original screen was one of the clearest and sharpest I've ever seen. The replacement is muddy and has persistent bright spots throughout. I thought I could live with it, but I'm having a hard as I remember how great the original was.
So far, I can't find anyone who sells an original Pentile screen made by Samsung. Even the ones that claim to OEM are really just OEM-compatible. Anyone have any ideas? My other thought is to look for a broken Note 10.1 and transplant the screen, but most of the broken ones have broken screens!
Any help is appreciated!

The screen is the most expensive item and since it's an old device, I would recommend to buy another used one instead. You could try to sell or use the old one for parts. It will cost you more if you tried to replace just the screen, not mention all the time, labor and headache...
Samsung will install new oem screen for $223 (including shipping). Cheapest oem screen I found was $175. Worth the extra $$ to have someone else install it and get a 90 day warranty, just call the Samsung warranty #. They will arrange the non-warranty repair. I received mine back from Samsung four days after sending it.

Replacement Screen Help

I've carried out a screen replacement using a part that was advertised as a genuine OEM replacement part, but I've got a few issues with it and I wanted to know what other people thought.
The new display has some shadowing around the edges, and suffers from screen burn after only a few minutes on a static image. It is also noticeably duller and less vivid, and seems to have a bluer tint than the original.
The colour I thought I might be able to make acceptable with a colour temperature app, but a new screen shouldn't have shadowing or screen burn, especially not an OEM one, right?
I suspect the part is a knockoff. It has the LG logo and a similar, but certainly different, crosshatch design on the bezel. I wouldn't mind this though if the screen quality were better.
Am I likely to have these problems with any replacement screen that is not an original? Has anyone bought a replacement screen that is of a similar quality to the original?
looking for a legit site as well, which site did you order yours from?

Help finding a cheap screen replacement

Well, I am about to inherit a S20 from a co-worker. The problem with the phone? The screen is shattered. Usually I can always google and find cheap screen replacements. But for an S20, I'm not really having any luck at all.
The only site I could find was amazon for $47.88
I was kind of hoping if anyone could turn me to like, a cheaper site or anything
eBay will probably be your best bet but tbh I wouldn't cheap out on a display, you'll likely have issues with fingerprint reader, touch sensitivity and washed out colours, probably not 120Hz either unless you buy a genuine Samsung screen
See if you can find a dead S20 phone with a good screen for cheap so you get the real thing
