Hi everyone,
Recently my younger sister decided to jump on my new Nexus 7 2013. When I picked it up, I noticed that the display had soft blue dots that appeared when the screen is dark, and that the screen acts different when I press hard (sort of like applying pressure to an old monitor or calculator screen). Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this issue, or should I pay hundreds to replace the screen/display?
Thanks in advance.
No hundreds needed, DIY is cheap. If you can tolerate the blue spots then replace the digitizer only but it is much easier to replace the entire digitizer+LCD assembly. Check this out.

So, for the last month i can see a purple brush-like dot in the middle of my screen.It can only be seen in dark backgrounds like black or grey.The problem is that in the meantime, i got the hairline screen crack by holding the tablet in my pocket while sitting down, so i don't think it should fall under physical damage since it's more of a design flaw.
Basically if i get my nexus 7 to my local service saying that the tablet has the purple dot problem, can it be replaced without taking into account the screen crack that appeared after the purple dot?
Also, if the screen is broken what parts will i need to manually fix it and will it require some more advanced knowledge?
Hello everyone,
I have a Note 2 which has witnessed frong glass changes twice and whole screen change once (thank you, sister). The problem is, the last time I needed the whole screen replacement, I bought it 2nd hand from a guy who was either using dead phones' working screens or the ones he fixed.
Apperiantly my new screen is coming among those have been fixed. Because the screen is not correctly aligned to the outer glass. As it's a white phone I can easily see black frames (which are the areas of screen but no pixels there) are not equal when the screen is on. One more thing; my front camera is blurry and the notification LED is glowing a "half-circle". Other than that no problems there.
So my intention is; I want to seperate them and clean the adhesive completely so the camera and LED will be clean and I will be able to re-allign the glass to the screen.
My questions are;
1) How can I clean the whole adhessive without harming the screen
2) What can I re-attach the screen with? I think that Optic Clear Adhesives need Otoglav Machines and they are probably more expensive than a brand new Note 2 I am open to any suggestions about this material..
Thanks
No one?

Hello, Everybody! One day I took my 2013 Nexus 7 on a walk and fell, resulting in a large crack across the screen. Half of the display was not touch-responsive. Recently, I obtained a digitizer replacement, pulled the tablet apart, and replaced it. I later found that I had removed a layer of black glass which appeared to be vital. Today I received a screen + digitizer assembly that contained the black glass. After removing many screws, I replaced the screen. After waiting about thirty minutes, I attempted to turn it on. At first, the screen stayed black. When I connected it to a computer and tried again, the speaker made a notification sound.
The tablet is running Android, but the screen is blank.
Thanks,
Thomas (D3C0D3)
You can confirm the tablet had life? As in when you "turned it on" and connected to your computer via USB, did you computer recognise it?
The Digitiser (top glass layer) when cracked over the screen will make the touch fail, my nexus had a chipped digi on the bottom which spread to the middle... The LCD however was fine.
When I replaced the Digitiser by heating it off the frame and swapping over. My repair went fine and my nexus 7 flo is good as new.
In short, if you are saying you have power and sound but no display; your LCD is either (a): Loose, I do believe it is the orange coloured ribbon cable. Or (b): Damaged, either by yourself when fitting or while it was in transit.
If it is B; simply buy a replacement again.. Make sure you do the entire repair on a flat surface, heat the glue and pry carefully with a tool such as an iSesimo; as to keep your frame intact.. Replace the glue or adhesive tape THOROUGHLY as to ensure the new digitiser stays attached to the frame, as it is only stuck by what you put on.
The LCD is very fragile, be careful.

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

Greetings...
My Xiaomi Note 5 screen broke a year ago; I just woke up and found out:
- The screen is flickering
- Ghost touching
- Colored lines appeared
- Eventually everything went into black
Today I decided to repair it... A brand new original screen; so I went to the repair center and the guy changed my screen infront of my eyes.
When I got back to home, ghost touching happened again in a crazy way, I can't use the phone at all, moreover after reboot the screen became black, I can hear sound only.
I am not sure what is causing this, since the screen is new, and the software is fine.
Anybody has a clue what is this?????
I added photos of the broken screen, and a video after it was replaced.
Thanks in advance
Bad cable, connector, or pins not properly seated.
Loose ground. Failed mobo.
Try a hard reboot if you haven't already. Take it back to the tech, they may have a better plan.
