Hi
I have a zenfone 2 ZE550ML(Z008)
a few days ago it fell and since then it has severe ghost touch problem(a line keeps touching again and again even in TWRP). it doesn't have warranty and I want to change it myself. the online store has touchscreen and LCD for ZE551ML.
now my question is "does these two model have the same display?" or do I need to find someplace else?
(there is no store that has ZE550 LCD)

Hello,
My wife recently had the misfortune to drop her newish HTC Desire A8183 on the kitchen floor, thanks to my daughter's over eager grab. The digitizer has some lovely cracks all over it now... :-(
Needless to say, my wife is dismayed, and my daughter (she's only 3 and didn't mean it) is very sorry.
I thought I'd try replacing the digitizer myself, having read many tales of repairs taking 3 weeks and costing 300+ dollars.
Bought a new digitizer, took phone apart (even had a handy little "oven" that I could set to 60 degrees to melt the glue).
Phone taken to pieces quite happily.
Put in new digitizer, reassemble.
Now start up phone, all looks good.
BUT... only a small section of the screen is responding to touch (where the 7,8,9) keys are when entering SIM PIN. The row below has also worked (although intermittently) and the emergency call button too...
So my question:
Is this a problem with the digitizer I bought? Is there a particular model number of digitizers that I should be using? I note that the old digitizer had an "I2" printed on the pcb, whereas the new one has an "E5", the old one has a sticker with SHAB1 on it whereas the new on has SHABN...
I'm not sure that this is important - but given that the thing only partly works, I think it might be.
Anyone got any ideas/hints for me to try... I'll phone the supplier tomorrow and suggest to them that the part is faulty, as I can't see any threads out there where this has happened to someone else.
EDIT: I thought I should add that the old digitizer despite looking like a spider's web, still actually works - which really make me think it is a problem with the new one...
Thanks for any help!

I can't really help you from experience all knowledge.
But I did read somewhere that you have to use specific digitizer for specific Desires.
I could be wrong
Did you work out any solution for your replacement digitizer issue?
I have a similar problem and I just realized the different ghost pattern of the screens (original has diagonal, new has square arrangements of dots) and also the electronics of the digitizer is slightly different (Original: Synaptics 940-663-1R1, replacement: Synaptics 940-682-1R2)
Hello,
I'v got the same problem, i even bought two digitizers from different sellers. I thought that it is because i did something wrong when I disassembly and assembled the phone but I put my old digitizer again and it works ok ( except the corner where it's crashed ).I asked my sellers if there are some different digitizers and they replayed that no and the one I'v got are checked and ok ( the electronics is identical, the only difference are white big number E2 and G2 ). What can I do more to repair my poor thing?

Hey everyone,
I recently bought my HOX at my local AT&T store about a month ago and managed to drop within the first 2 weeks I had it, and break both the glass and LCD. I went on ebay and bought both the LCD and glass together and installed it on my phone with no luck. Screen is totally black with no response. Everthing else works flawlessly, vibrator, capacitive buttons, and speaker. The aftermarket LCD screen's cable was straight so I had to make a fold in it like the original cable was. I worry that that might be what the problem is, though I highly doubt it. I would appreciate it greatly if someone could give me some advice on what I should do at this point. Return the LCD and glass or try something else. Thanks
This is the forum for the quad core Tegra 3 OneX, I don't know if your phone (One XL, dual core snapdragon) has the same LCD.
Might be best to ask in the correct sub forum.
Hi Guys,
So my S3 bit the dust last week and I have gotten an Nexus 5 as a replacement.
My S3 has three major issues and I am trying to decide what if anything to do with it, or what the possible value of it is.
This is a 32gb model locked to my local carrier (Rogers)
1. The glass has a crack, it fell while out of my Otterbox and the glass got a spider crack on it, the LCD panel and digitizer were still working perfectly fine last time I used it a week ago. The screen protector is on top of the glass.
2. the OS is screwed up, I was having issues with the modem and connecting to my carrier and SIM and flashed a .zip file with a baseband and it caused my phone to instantly hardbrick.
3. I thought a JTAG servicing would revive the device back to stock OS so I brought it into a local shop for the JTAG (and then likely the glass replacement if they could get the S3 unbricked) they told me that the IC power chip in the device is broken. How that happened I have no idea, last thing I did with the phone was flash a .zip file to it via ClockworkMod Recovery, no idea how doing THAT broke an actual chip in the board of the phone.
So now I have a device that is screwed on three levels.
Any idea what I should do with it now. Anyone had experience with a broken IC chip? Is it worth anything on the ebay market for parts?
I see people selling the IC chip online but I am not even going to attempt soldering things to the main board.
nobody?
bueller?
you can get a replacement glass for less than 20 USD
Jtag... anybody's guess
bad chip? possibly damaged when it fell (cracked traces, etc)
I'd try to fix the first 2, but that 3rd one is a nail in the coffin. For what its worth, these things are second rate in less than a year and obsolete in 3.
It might be time to move on.
I would post an ad to see if anybody would like to buy it for spare parts. If you get no responses after a while, I would toss it in the trash.

My wife got a new phone 3 weeks ago (Samsung S5) and in the process was given a "free" Samsung Tab3. Last week the tablet fell of a table and the screen cracked so I decided to play Mr.Wizard and replace the screen. Got the replacement screen, saw the video online and all went pretty smooth. Turn the tablet on and all is still well. Then am trying to set up her e-mail and notice that the 1 on the keyboard does not work. I downloaded an app called Simple Touch Screen Tester and come to find out that the part of the screen where the 1 would be (in portrait mode) is not responding to any touches. If I press down hard on the screen some areas do respond but not all.
Is it possible I got a defective screen? Would spending another $ 20 be worth it?
Or should I return the tablet to Sprint (I assume it is still under the 30 day warranty) and not mention the fact the screen cracked and I replaced it? Can Sprint tell I replaced the screen?
Thanks for any help.

Since you already replaced the dig, you know what's involved. If you're good at what you do, then Sprint can't tell. I've had a Samsung tab with a dead band within which no touch would register. Sent it to Samsung and all they did was update the firmware. But it can be hardware-related. If you bought a replacement lined with tape, it's possible the back of the digitizer didn't stick evenly to the frame 'cause you did not clean all the glue residue before. That certainly can cause problems. Then you may want to check the connection to the motherboard. It should click when you snap it on correctly. The way Samsung digitizer are built, it doesn't feel like yours is defective. I've had one that literally was smashed to pieces yet persisted.
Hello everyone,
the screen of my N7 2013 cracked after his first fall on the ground... the tablet still worked but the touch screen was unresponsive, so I decided to replace it and bought a new screen and digitizer. I replaced it following youtube tutorials but the new touch screen was unresponsive. I thought the replacement i bought was faulty, so I wrote to the seller who refunded me. So I bought a SECOND lcd+digitizer replacement, from a different seller. Same story: after replacement this second digitizer is totally unresponsive too.
I checked connections so many times with no luck. I can't believe that I bought TWO broken digitizers from two different sellers. I don't think I broke something else working on replacement (but I cannot be sure ).
So I'm wondering if there is any possible software cause for this touch screen behaviour... is there something I can still try to do before throw away the tablet? Anyone can help?
Thank you!

You only replaced the touch screen or also the daughter board? Is there any revision number on the screens/cables?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
I only replaced digitizer and lcd, daughter board was the original one (rev 1.4).
The old digitizer had a sticker with a qr code and some numbers on it, and another code printed on (see pic ..935).
I found no reference for these codes on google, the qr code gives no results.
The new digitizer has no sticker and no codes printed, only a printed mark displaying "cx 2015-1" (I think it's a seller's mark).
On lower part, where circuits and cable are, the original digitizer shows two other numbers (see pic ..942).
New digitizer shows two numbers too, smaller one (ME050111) is the same, except for last two numbers (original digitizer has "01", new digitizer has "12"). The biggest number (343308Q in the pic) is completely different on the new digitizer.
