Nexus i9250 Screen replacement

Hello to all. I did my fair bit of research on this forum about a screen replacement for the International version of Galaxy Nexus but could not find any suitable solution to an Indian user. I got my Nexus from Amazon and lost my screen in a pretty harsh fall. There are cracks developed at the top of the fortified glass and I could not find any screen replacements in my city/country so far.
I would like to know if any of you have replaced the i9250 screen anywhere outside the U.S and if so, what are the reliable options available? Singapore perhaps (Pretty close to India), anyone know of any place there?
Please do help if you can, I'd be much obliged.

Me too ;(

Hmm i cant help but i am in the same position... I bought a screen (only) from this store on ebay "easyworldwidetrading" and even he doesnt know how to replace it! Any ideas anyone?? Nothing on youtube i can find... still got a cracked screen (phone works fine tho... I just tell people its a 'crack' app I cant uninstall...)

You may have to order a screen internationally. Check Amazon and
eBay.
Also, make sure that when you buy a screen the screen you buy is specifically for your device (GSM).

Confirmed.
Do a search, it's out there.

did anyone tryed to change only the glass to a nexus? i've read some articles on xda over changeing the outer glass to i9000.
I have other question: the outer glass isn't glued to the whole digitizer? will i damage the digitizer if i try removing only the glass?

Yes to both. The original screen replacement come as a whole package, so you basically switch the internals to the new case+screen.

if you are not very careful, yes.
I repair cell phones a side job. Screen replacements are my specialty. I haven't personally done a GNex but if its anything like the S2, it can be done. The key is patience and attention to detail. When I do screens like those, I budget an hour and a half for time to remove it. Its better to take a few breaks and double check your work than drop $150 on a replacement LCD because you were in a rush.
That brings my to my second point. The worst thing that will happen is you crack your LCD, so it can be fixed. You won't break it beyond repair. But don't try it unless you are ready to spend the extra money *IF* you mess up.

THANK'S for the advices
@ rudeguy: can you be more specific, like where exactly do you start from removing the glass, do you aply heat to a small are and the remove, what tools do you use? once again, thank's in advance!
PS:how does the digitizer stuck's to the glass? wown't i allso remove the digitizer when i'll remove the glass?

Replacement glass / digitizer?

Hi guys, not sure if this is the right place for it but I can't for the life of me find anywhere selling the glass screen and digitizer for the 2014 note yet... anyone located one? Reason I ask is my mate has sat on his and it's well and truly cracked but luckily the LCD behind it is fine.
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,
Scott

Thats the only thing I can find but since I'm on my phone it doesnt seem to want to translate so can't tell if its deffo a digitizer for our tablets or even if the do delivery worldwide.

[Q] VK810 Digitizer cracked

I've got a friend who dropped her VK810 right after buying it. No insurance. The top of the digitizer is cracked, but everything works swimmingly. She'd like to replace the cracked glass, though.
I can't find ANYWHERE that offers the VK810 digitizer all by itself. I can find the digitizer + LCD in a package for the V500 all over the place, though. So...
(1) Do the VK810 and V500 have the same LCD & Digitizer?
(2) Does anyone know of a place I can purchase a digitizer alone?

the digitizer probably includes the cutouts for the camera/sensors. v500 and vk810 have different locations for those items (that's why screen protectors are not universal across the v500/vk810)

Thanks. Anyone know where the digitizer for the VK810 can be found?

[Q] Digitizer, not LCD, replacement

I have a SGH-M919 Galaxy S4 that works fine except for the touch screen (digitizer). There are no cracks on the screen and the display is fine. I see that there are a lot of guides for replacing the LCD/digitizer combo, but none that show only replacing the digitizer. Is that possible? I assume the combo consists of a front glass, the digitizer, and then the LCD. Can these be separated?
I swapped the motherboard from this S4 with the motherboard on a working S4 and the touch screen remained inoperative, so I know it is just the digitizer. Is it possible it is just the flax cable that connects to the motherboard? If so, can it be replaced by itself.
There are a lot of vendors on eBay selling LCD/digitizer combos for $100 - $200, but I hate spending that much when the screen is working fine. Any suggestions from the forum would be greatly appreciated.

I also would like to know this; if anyone can explain the steps or point towards a guide that would be very helpful.

Not good, I'm pretty sure the tablet has a clear optic adhesive under the digitizer glass and lcd so if you remove the glass the glue will be remove too and you will be left with a display that looks like it has a big air bubble under the screen...(someone correct me if I'm wrong)
see the thread here (for the 12.2 model but I'm pretty sure it's the same for the 8.4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p/replace-cracked-glass-tab-pro-12-2-t3251203
so you will most likely have to replace the digitizer glass+ lcd in one unit
for the full assembly you might be able to find these on ebay or aliexpress (china- might be official or knockoffs)
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20160117213008&SearchText=sm-t320+lcd
look for ones that include the LCD + Digitizer as one (usually around $100-$170) - also make sure the store has a good return policy and good feedback (maybe even good feedback for the item aswell), it is very hard to return to china so it's best to make sure before purchasing.
http://www.samsungparts.com/Products/Parts_and_Accessories/SMT320/Default.aspx
this place sells all the parts but you might need to email them to get specific part numbers - and well it's probably expensive
last but not least send it to Samsung and have them fix it, they will usually just swap out the lcd + digitizer with a new one.

Thank you. I guess its too expensive to make a screen replacement for the tab. Not really worth it to fix it for $200. Rather than buy a new tab. Hopefully i can find somwhere else where they charged not that much. Thanks again.

I would check around with local repair shops (ones that specialize in tablet and phone repairs- since they should be very familiar with the oca film), maybe if you can supply them with a replacement digitizer, they can do the rest of the repair for cheaper.
you can check youtube for the oca film process (type oca film or LOCA screen) and a bunch of videos will come up.

It's crazy, this tablet costs more now used than what I bought it new for.
I too have a broken digitizer... And my screen has been going bad.. So unless you live near a samsung service center, that option is out. I keep seeing people suggest the LCD + digitizer replacement, but there is not one guide on how to actually do it.
The only thing I could find was some German guy on YouTube for a digitizer (not a whole LCD) replacement. How do you go about doing the replacement? The generic answer has been look at iFixIt or YouTube, but there isn't anything for this model...

I broke my digitizer the same week I got mine. I found only one place online to buy one. Google it, it's from China. It was about $160.00ish.. I followed the tutorial for galaxy tab s on YouTube. It was very easy.
