Artemis screen reaplcement (easy?)

Hi all,
I just recently got hold of a XDA Orbit which the previous owner had dropped off a roof (don't ask! ) The screen broke when it hit the floor and it has cracked and just appears white when you turn it on.
I know the system is still running because I can hear the sound effects when turning the volume up/down so I think it's still working ok....
So what I'd like to do is buy a replacement screen off eBay and fit myself. Does anyone know how hard it is to do this? I've got the Artemis-Inside PDF and although it's a great help in seeing how to get inside the thing, it doesn't really show how to replace the screen....
I'm assuming I can just disconnect the ribbon cable and pull the old screen out and then just put the new screen back in??
I hope it's that easy anyway! If anyone knows then it'd be a great help to me,
Thanks for any replies!
Jon.

Sounds difficult according to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312382&highlight=screen

Hmm that's not quite the same problem as I have.... that poster was just trying to replace the "touch" part of the screen whereas I'm going to try and replace the whole LCD + "touch"
This is what I'm hoping to buy: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Genuine-O...5QQihZ002QQcategoryZ10364QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and by the looks of the picture on the auction and the picture in that other post, the screen is the same as the original Orbit screen....

This is for 'touch' part only wich is very difficult, because the lcd and touch are the same part... i've try the same (because of price) with no result because the connector was not the same and i can't detach the lcd part of the 'touch' part, so i manage change the all without difficult.

Hi SuperMimi, thanks for your reply, I'm going to take the plunge and order a new screen!
Thanks again!
(If I remember, I will post back and let you all know how it goes.. )

Yep, got it all swapped out with the new screen but the PDF I'd downloaded didn't help in the slightlest!
Maybe the UK model has been slightly re-designed? I don't know but I did take some shots which I'll put into a PDF at some point. Who knows, it might help someone else out.

Hi Jonathan,
Can you put those shots into a pdf please and also send me instructions. My screen just cracked, I've ordered a replacement and needed instrustions much appreciated.

Disassemble XDA Orbit
I've posted the instructions I followed on another forum.

Hope it helps, and it was fairly straight forward to replace the screen unit.

[Q] Screen is grey/pink

Hi guys
I hope everyone is well
A week or 2 ago i noticed a pink line down the right hand side of my screen
ALso the bottom of the screen was slightly pink although i could see the text.
Gradually over the last couple of weeks the pink at the bottom of the screen has nearly filled the whole screen. The bottom of the screen is now turning from pink to grey.
Obviously i believe this to be a screen/LED problem
I have looked on ebay and found screens with digitizers but I am not sure if this will do the job or it needs another part with it
can someone please point me in the right direction...preferably with links
thanks in advance

Hi mate, I recently changed the screen and digitizer on my phone. If it's just the screen thats broken then you only need a screen, however you need to be VERY careful when taking out the screen from the digitizer, as if you break the connector to the digitizer then you will need to buy a new one too! Search youtube for "bravo disassembly procedure" or something along those lines, it's the official htc video.
It's actually pretty straightforward to do, and you don't need to treat it as gently as nitro glycerine either, as long as you don't use too much excess force.

Thanks
Hi mate
thanks for the reply
I have seen those videos around and got one in my favourites already
By the sound of my problem do you think i will just need a screen and digitizer or will i need more

Hi guys
Anyone managed to have a look at this?

anyone
sorry to post again
anyone able to comment on this? please

Hey sorry mate.. Hmm if it wasn't the screen then it must be something else... I don't want to tell you what it is for you to aimlessly keep buying stuff, because it's just not worth it. If it wasn't the screen then it could be so many other things.

LG G3 yellow spot on edge of display!

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my G3. I was so happy when I got it but now it drove me nuts. The display which is supposed to be the selling spot of this phone is not so glorious after all. Although not all users are affected by this I am one of those who are. I noticed a yellow band on the top left side of my screen. As I read online it is glue residue that has protruded through the display. Many people suggest to put it under a UV light but I am not sure if I should do this (the UV light is supposed to dry the glue). I have to mention that I bought the G3 because I had the exact same problem with the G2 in the same place. It looks so ugly and drives me crazy. So I wanted to ask for help from someone over here at XDA who has had the same or similar issue with the G3 or any other phone and is willing to offer me help and guide me through fixing this annoying issue.
Thanks!
I attached photos bellow taken by my other G3 which by the way does not have that problem!

Hello.
I have exactly same issue with my LG G3. :crying: Same kind of yellow spot at exactly same area as it is in your phone. It really is very annoying. Can anyone say if it's possible to fix it some way?
I can't believe that it is caused by my own fault. I read also somewhere that it is some glue which is visible for some reason.

I don't know what to do carrier warranty will not cover this and will say that it is my fault. The only thing we can do I think is either ask LG or make a group complaint since I am sure that there are many more experiencing this problem. I also have it on the G2 and it is even worse it is becoming black blueish. They make excellent panels but their glue sucks. Also drying the phones under UV lights is very expensive that is why they let them air dry which does not solidify the glue and problems like this appear.

I wouldn't put it in the fridge. It is wet and it might damage the internals but since it is -10 here when I am out it is almost gone but it comes back in the same intensity when I enter an enclosed area.

Sounds like a damaged LCD...unfortunately. If you have insurance its probably time to use it. If you don't, then look into the cost of a replacement front assembly(should be @$80-90us) to repair it yourself. It's an easy fix though...just a lil pricey.

I have insurance but here in my country i don't think it's a good idea going there, and i'm afraid they make it worse...
The blue spot only appears on black, so if you're sure it's a damaged LCD and not a software stuff nor hot related i shall take the phone to them to check it out. That's the best i can do

I mean what makes a damaged screen? The phone didn't fall or anything the spot just happend >_< is it wrong manufacturing by LG?? Sorry but it's driving me crazy

It could be anything really... It could be a manufacturing defect that just showed up now over time, it could be heavy use causing high heat and the processor burned your LCD, it could be a hard thumb or fingerprint that compressed the LCD, etc.; many possibilities.
Check this reddit thread because you're not alone... https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2qfzz9/lg_g3_screen_burnpurple_smudge/
It seems like the most common solution was to get a replacement.
If your curiosity is really driving you crazy try posting a pic so xda'ers can see what and where it is. Someone may be able to diagnose it for you or at least give you an educated guess as to what happened.

i added some pics above ^ hope they help

I also have a faint blue spot on my screen, but it's only visible on white backgrounds. Not worth sending it in for.

Mine only appears on black.. It's not affecting much, but i still think it should be fixed as quickly as possible.

WTF is THAT??? (Screen Problem)

Can someone please tell me what's going on here? I've owned a number of HTC devices (TyTNII, HD2, Inspire, M7...) and I've never seen anything like this happen with any of them. I don't even know how to describe it, or what department at HTC to ask. Can it even be fixed? Your help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

It might be something to do with insane heating, I once had a problem in Spain where my phone got really hot beacuse of the sun and started developing vertical lines going up and down, the screen, when I got into shade and let it cool for a while, it disappeared on its own

it's glue dude

Are you saying it's the glue that holds the glass to the screen? How the heck did it happen, and more specifically, what can be done to fix it?

you can try heating the screen and pushing/keep pushed....and wait to cool
it could have been exposed to high heat and...like....detached

High heat in the month and for October? Not likely, but I'll give it a go.
