Ok, so I didn't know that, that (from my other post) was "Insurance fraud". So I decided to fix the phone myself, Insurance cancelled. Now as you may already know, I stood on my phone. I am guessing that the Digitizer is the touch panel and the screen is a the botton displaying the image.. Once the damage was done, I quickly checked if the phone was alright so I pressed the "Unlock key" and had to swipe the unlock screen to see if the phone was working, so obviously the Digitizer is working as it did change to homescreen when I swiped the screen.
As I panicked I took the battery out, and turning the phone back on hoping it will work, It did not. Some green dots and lines started apearing. Then it stopped displaying, so a black screen after the vibration when I'm turning on the phone.
I also know that the phone is still working because when I plug it into my computer Windows 7 has that little bleep..
The glass screen is not cracked but, when you look at the screen at an angle you see the some scratches (or cracks) underneath on the AMOLED..
Now, my question is, do I need a new AMOLED or a new Digitizer?
thanks for your time!
edit; I've been looking at abit of nexus one Screens/Digitizer's, they seem cheaper, so would they work with a Desire?
Hey, so as the title suggests I dropped my phone which caused a crack at the lower right corner.
Now I remember when the phone only came out everyone were saying its not possible to only change the screen and that you need to change the screen plus the amoled screen and digitizer.
Now I after searching the forums I saw this thread-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946828
It looks very promising but its also quite old.
I was wondering if anyone had any recent experience with replacing just the glass screen of the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Also his link for the New Adhesive is dead, can anyone provide me with a link to a new adhesive? or it doesn't really matter which one I buy off ebay.
Thanks a lot! I really like this phone and hopefully I wont have to replace tons of stuff to get the screen fixed.

Same thing happened to me last week. I think it is quite possible to change just the glass, but i haven't tried it yet.
Glass removal
It is possible to change just the glass :fingers-crossed:. We just did that using a string. There is a video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7BmmDCKBgQ :good:
Hey,
I dropped my phone from the fourth floor, and now the display is messed up. I can hear sounds from the phone, so it's OK I guess. The screen shows nothing at all though. I was thinking to replace the display and digitizer, but since the entire phone has bumps I am afraid something else is broken except for the display.
Do you think buying a new screen and digitizer from the link below will help me?

Thanks in advance, anyone who has tried changing the display on their phone before...
Hi,
Ok I attempted to replace the digitizer on my LG G3 well the lcd was still good. After I took everything apart had to get the old glass and lcd separated. I did that but in the process the black front to the lcd (black plastic that is glued to digitizer) came off with the digitizer. Is that part crucial to the lcd screen working? Also I after putting it back together all I get now is a blank white lcd screen which comes on for a few seconds after holding power button and cuts right back off. Also when i put it on the charger now I get a constant blinking red led light and the phone starts to get really hot until pulled from the charger. Has anyone else experienced this before? What could be the problem?
I know I´m a bit late but I just experienced the same problem. Did you manage to fix it? Because I don´t want to spend about 40-50€ for a non-original display + digitizer.

Sadly, no. Since I got the digitizer for 6€ (paypal gave me 10€ discount) I think the easiest way is to get a LCD+digitizer.
Hi everyone, i broke the screen of my phone (mi A2 lite)
The only video that i could find to replace my screen was this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRE6Dc93zvY
(Redmi 6 Pro is another name for the a2 lite)
The screen seems to be just below the motherboard and it seems extremely difficult to replace it !
Am i missing something ?
Any help will be very useful, i really like this phone !
Thanks a lot in advance,
Samt434
That video is your best guide currently. Yes you will have to remove the motherboard and battery to replace the screen.
Make shure you get the full display assembly including the frame like here. Then you only have to follow the instructions from the video. Hope youre successfull!
Hello I have changed my display according to video and almost erverything works like it should be...
Everytime I recive or make a phone call display goes down, and It doesn't light on.
Have I done something wrong? I've moved all components to new display ( according to video ).

Used the video to replace my screen, thank you !
I don't have the same problem as you, light going down during phone call.

Sounds like a proximity sensor issue to me... Check if you plugged correctly all the flat cables.
I had a Mi A2 Lite for screen replacement yesterday. Check if you placed the rubber part which goes around the sensor correctly. There s a very small part which you need to align correctly or your sensors get covered.
Numb digtizer
Hey Guys,
Also tried to fix my a2 lite. Now some time after the repair I noticed, that my digitizer is unresponsive in a 1cm wide row in the middle of the screen. Everything else works perfectly fine.
Do you have any ideas of the course of this? My suggestions are:
The Tape i used to glue he battery back in was to thick and now is pressuring the screen.
I did not connect to the cable correctly
The screen was broken before
Do you have an other idea? the
Is the A23 Lite supposed to have gorilla glass or something similar? Bought oen second hand where the seller said he had it replaced professionally, but I recently slightly bumped it, and it already cracked. Making me think its one of those cheap fakes from China.

Gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not hit and bump resistant...

Not true whatsoever, I had many phones with it and they survived many hits and bumps, this one cracked at the slightest tap already, in fact, I actually accidentally did it again and it cracked again at a different spot, and it was barely hit even. It's definitely cheap glass.

I know this is old but did you ever get it sorted out? I ran into the same issue when I replaced my screen. However I followed this guide and the sensor works as it should.
I was able to buy a new A2 Lite screen & frame for $20. I just swapped everything into the new frame by following the video in the first post (as well as Googling for other tear downs). Process was fairly easy...just made sure I watched and understood which part was which. Actually, the hardest part was getting the battery out. When I was pulling the tape out it broke and kept the battery secured very, very well. Anyway, took about an hour but now I have a perfectly good phone again!
Thanks for sharing the link in the first post to get me started.
