Hello there, I've done some tinkering me and my dad and decided to change the display of my note 2 by ourselves, we where trying to change only the glass(the one that you touch, is white or grey, etc) and we couldn't separate the glass from the first layer of glass the one that has a ribbon cable hooked up to it, well we tried again and we cracked the second layer of glass and then we got two scratches on the third layer of glass (I'm not a professional guy that's why i'm describing it like this). Well either way the screen won't turn on now, the led is turning on, it vibrates it just won't turn on, talking about the screen. Now here come the questions, Will I be able to fix the screen to turn on? and I saw a demo unit of the phone for sell on the internet would it be worth it to buy it and switch the internals(motherboard, usb module, antennas) to that phone just for the screen?
I'd rather go the demo unit way - if it's possible - because that would cost me 100 euros instead of 170 euros.
Thank you very much for looking at this.
I think you cracked the display ...sorry. Why you coouldn't separate the digitizer from display? You just need a few pieces of plastic, playing cards or similar things and a heat gun. Probably you did not had enough patience to heat it.

To move the entire screen to another phone, it takes a bit of skill, search YouTube and decide if you can do it.
I think you will find answers here:

Good Luck
I was saying that I'm going to take that thing on which you screw the motherboard and antennas. From my understandingnthe whole LCD assembly. Would that work? At this current stage I'm trying to power on my phone to save data which is possible and the next step i don't really know what to do.....

hello,
i recently got my hands on a galaxy nexus, Although it is working just fine it has a few problems:
the first being, the volume control button seems to have been taken off, i think replacing that with one found on ebay would do the trick.
this item i guess:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-i...arts_Tools&hash=item4d01f3f508#ht_1908wt_1270
Secondly the phone does not detect when usb is connected, or it is connected to a charger. HOWEVER it charges when the phone is off, but the screen does not go on. Will changing the usb charging board be the solution ? i am thinking something like this :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Power...arts_Tools&hash=item27c572bbff#ht_4112wt_1037
The third and final problem with the phone is that the front glass is broken. HOWEVER the touchscreen works just fine and there are no spots on the LCD screen either. Will changing the front glass be easy ? Do any of you have any special tehniques or pictues/videos that can help ?
It is available on ebay. I have read around the internet that peeling it off is difficult and you need a heat gun, I am prepared to take that risk however i do not have any glue to use, could anyone recommend me the type of glue that is used to fix the glass ? it seems to be peeling off when i scratch it with my nail and has a rubbery texture
no one here to give their suggestions ?
No idea what kinds and of glue is down there, but there is also huge risk of tearing the screen if you want to separate the screen and glass.
I will recommend you to buy then entire screen though, although you could try doing it first.

By far the hardest part will be replacing the glass. The glass is fused to the digitizer, and the whole thing is glued to the frame. The only replacements I've heard about were the whole assembly, not just the glass.
Check out http://ifixit.com for step by step instructions. I know they have one for the USB port, probably for the others as well.
Yes I agree with what others have said. Although it is very tempting to just buy the digitizer since the screen is working just fine, it is extremely difficult to separate them. Its not impossible though and if you have done it before on other phones then I guess you can spend a little on just the digitizer. It involves heating up the screen with a heat gun and slowly separting the two but thats a lot more easier said than done. Hopefully the entire assembly comes down in price though as its a pretty expensive part. Good luck!
Bust the thing badly from only 3 foot onto hard surface.
Anybody had theirs replaced by htc or themselves or otherwise? Its cracked all over and the odd patch of yellow.

Long story short, I have an att HOX with a broken screen that I purchased from eBay for cheap in addition to the global HOX that I am using to write this. The LCD was fine, just the glass was broken. After waiting for a replacement to ship from China, I waded into the intertubes and found several tutorials on screen repair for the HOX. After several infuriating hours I discovered something that none of the tutorials mention. The adhesive that bonds the LCD to the digitizer is very strong stuff and even with the liberal application of a decent heat gun, you stand a good chance of breaking the LCD while trying to separate it from the digitizer.
Your best bet is to purchase the display assembly and replace the entire thing. If you do decide to try and replace only the digitizer, you will need patience, lots of time(2 hours+), and some luck. Follow the directions but instead of trying to separate the two pieces in one go like they show in the tutorial, work your way in about a quarter inch or less at a time. Use the heat gun right next to where you plan to separate the LCD and then slowly work around from there. The longer it takes, the better. Just be careful not to overheat the LCD. A good rule of thumb is that if it is too hot to hold in your bare hand, you used too much heat.

If you try to only replace the digitizer.....you're gonna have a bad time
So I got this nice (albeit beat-up, but 100% functional) G2 from a friend, and for about 3 weeks it had no problems. I rooted it, put CyanogenMod 7.2 on it, worked fine.
About 3 days ago, it started behaving really weird while I was using it. Interfaces not responding, at times opening things when I didn't have my finger on the screen, usual possessed phone behavior) I did some investigating with the Developer Tools' Pointer Location display, and there's this massive dead-zone on my digitizer! The dead-zone (while holding the phone in landscape) goes from X=255.1 to X=401.1, and covers all the Y-values in that range. if I move my finger slowly enough through the deadzone from one fo the sides of it, it will register as being directly in the center of it. Other times it will show a very light touch on the right side of the zone, activating interface elements and the like.
What happened? Do I have to replace the digitizer? I don't have a warranty on it, seeing as I got it second-hand. Possible fixes, if it's not a serious hardware issue?
I don't have money to spare, so buying things to fix it might take a lot of saving.
EDIT: Got it in the mail finally, replaced it in 45 minutes. I had to use the dorm's heated-air hand-dryer to get it off, and I kinda messed up the glue a bit, but it's working just fine.
If you have to replace the digitizer, I would not worry. I just got done replacing the lcd on my G2, and it works. I bought the lcd (in your case it would be a digitizer) off ebay and my purchased also included the screw drivers and plastic tip thingy to open the phone. For the digitizer you might need to also get double sided tape.
There is a youtube video showing how to take a part and put back the phone. I think the video was like 30min, but when I did it, the time was 1.5hrs totally.
good luck if you go that route.
Previous post is spot on, for most people I would assume this won't be a hard task, I have opened and repaired dozens of g2s (and many other phones) and although sliders tend to be the most complicated its really straight forward
Find a YouTube video or other instructions online and look at it ahead of time to see if its something you feel comfortable with. Then if so, order the digitizer (90% this is the cause 10% the main flex) for around 15-20$ and all you need is a #0 Philips and a t5 torx and a hairdryer/heat gun
You won't need tape as there is more than enough sticky left after prying of the digitizer. Expect about that hour in half if your new to this, but can be done in less than 20 if you do it a lot Here is a link to info on your phone including repair guides

Best of luck!

Aw. Was hoping this wouldn't be the solution.
That sucks. Just went and ordered one, it came with screwdrivers and the prying tool, but I don't have any double-sided tape. Let's hope it's still sticky. Well, it supposedly gets here on the 9th, so I'll read up on replacing from these links. Thanks for the support. Hope I don't break the thing. :/
Hi, my att note 4 dropped from a small hill on to the sidewalk in about 20 feet in the air with a case, the case was made of a hard gel typish case and the case twists when you put twist the case . After that I picked up the note 4, there were no cracks and then when i turned the phone on I saw a led light when the Samsung boot animation comes but there was no display. I took out the spen and i started tapping on my pin number on my lock screen and i heard vibrations when putting the password. Any ideas about what to do? Please help im a student and this is the only phone i have:crying:
So basically, your LCD panel went out. Many people don't realize how sensitive electronics are, but a good enough hit, even with a case may protect the phone but not the LCD. Your best bet is to get a screen assembly off of Ebay. Unfortunately, since you have a Note 4 and it has a Super AMOLED UHD display, it's going to be Super Expensive. You could also try buying a phone with a bad IMEI off of Ebay or craigslist and take the main board out and replace the screen assembly. Its not hard to change a screen assembly, especially since you have a Note 4 with a removable back, because with maybe 10 screws, you can take out your main board and replace whatever you need like a car. What these new companies are doing is sealing the back and its almost the same thing as sealing a hood on a car- so if something goes wrong you have to junk the phone. But like I said, screen assembly is your best bet. Good luck
has anybody ordered and replaced the LCD screen on this phone?
i managed to crack mine after some month of abuse. anybody recommend an lcd screen assembly from ebay?
Yes. I have replaced a few as I work in a mobile phone repair shop.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post eBay links here but anyway here it is:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Huawei-P...948322?hash=item1a172c98a2:g:jcoAAOSw6WdXidIF
The client actually bring the screen for me to replace his broken screen, came with screen and frame pre-assembled like this. While I have ordered one for a similar model for the Huawei Ascend G8 a few times it's pretty simple and hassle free when you buy it pre-assembled like that.
I could buy without frame but you get the hassle of adding adhesive manually which comes with the risk of the screen either not sitting on properly or pushing up because the adhesive was too weak or not applied properly. I've done a few G8's with and without frame, worked pretty well in my experience.
Note that the huawei P9 has two pentalobe screws on the bottom like the iPhones do and you will need to take the sim card / sd card tray out before opening it up. The whole metal back cover pretty much unclips from the screen frame. Do check iFixit disassembly guides on how to do so. Most of it is unplugging cables and unclipping stuff, the battery is a bit tricky the adhesive is usually strong for them. You gotta pull the battery adhesive tab if there is one and most likely the battery will still be stuck to the housing even with it removed because there is even more adhesive that is separate from that tab (pry carefully if you intend to do so of course, LCD cable runs under the battery if I remember correctly).
You can also buy cheaper from here but the quality as you can see is quite lower: http://www.eddogo.com/lcd-display-t...-with-frame-for-huawei-p9-eva-al00-black.html
As always make sure to match it up with model number.
