Hello All,
Just recently dropped my screen for AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The phone still works but has cracks everyone. I was wondering if anyone has attempted to change just the screen itself, if so, where did you buy the screen from and what tools did you use? Also, what is the metal frame around the phone called and is it possible to get it replaced? Thank you and have a nice day!

If you are talking about the glass then I just replaced mine about a week ago. I actually ordered a replacement in white instead of the grey that I have. I used a hair dryer, hobby knife kit (only to start the edges), and the tools that came with the glass. It cost about $30 and an hour of your time. The only problem I had was getting the glass to stick with the old tape. A good reference are the videos for replacing the Galaxy S3 glass.
Do not push to hard when putting the new screen in place, you will break the digitizer if you do. I did find that if you have a completely broken screen and its showing black, the s-pen seems to still work fine and can make the phone function. I am assuming that the 11pin port will also push video to a tv with the screen broken and the phone can be used that way also if needed (will test and let you know).

How hard was it to do a replacement on the screen glass itself? and is it easy to do a bezel replacement?

You replaced the glass for the Note 2? Yes I am just talking about the glass itself. Do you have a link to where you bought the item and any link to videos you used to assist you in replacing the glass? Thank you so much for all your help!

I purchased the glass off of ebay, I cant post a link due to not having enough post here, but just search "galaxy note 2 replacement glass"
I looked at a bunch of Galaxy S3 glass replacement videos. just search "s3 glass replacement" on youtube.
It is time consuming, I used a hair dryer to be safe because heat guns get too hot if not careful.
I did get a chance to test if the 11pin still pushed video to a tv with a broken screen (using an MHL adapter). It did not for me. I plugged a phone in with a broken digitizer that the s pen still worked on and would let me make calls from. The phone is still function able, just no picture on the screen (working in the dark with the s-pen). Nothing showed up on the tv screen. I plugged another note 2 in to verify and the other note 2 pushed video just fine.
What's the easiest way to tell if I just need to replace the glass versus the entire digitizer?
Glass replacement
Ok for every thread on the internet the digitizer is NOT part of the glass. The glass is just that......glass. Stop calling it a digitizer these are not iPhones!!!!!! The digitizer is laid on top of the amoled and has a connector that runs under the display and plugs in there with a flip type switch connector. The glass can be removed with heat approx. 160 deg with a heat gun on low and keeping track of the temp with a infrared thermo. I've done this a few times now be careful with white as these tend to break easier than the grey not sure why laminate must be weaker. Takes 45mins to do. You can buy the glass for approx. $25 shipped be careful near the bottom with the button flex they are glued on. You must reuse your speaker trim and button trim also. I have only 1 single question can you buy a replacement digitizer by itself without having to buy the amoled? Anyone know and how much they are please point me to one for the i317m.
Why the are you answering a 3 month old thread?

I have the HTC ONE X White AT&T, but I'm stuck on on replacing the screen, every video I can find on the internet is for he black version, and I need help with one part. After the motherboard etc was out, I have to remove the screen, I did, but idk if I got the lcd part too, because it is much thinner than the replacement. there is like 3 layers of paper/plastic s and then a gray screen left. Can anyone help? I can send pic I really really need help I don't want to mess this phone up!
Update
I split the LCD in half it looks like, but the digitizer seems to not be working correctly is there a way to repair it? or do I have to buy a new one?
show some picture. DId you buy lcd+digitizer or only lcd?
it was the combo the digitzer cable (the connector) seems to be bad as it is very difficult to connect compared to the one that came with my phone, when it does connect the touch is very very slow and uncalibrated. Pictures are coming

IS there a way I can repair this?
I think you have a one xl (snapdragon) and not an international (tegra) version in which case it would explain why it doesn't fit or work properly.
If you do have the xl codename evita then you are also in the wrong forum my friend and should head over to the HTC one xl forum.

it says here that it works for both versions though http://www.amazon.com/Display-Digit...qid=1413140433&sr=8-2&keywords=HTC+One+X+AT&T. Every other product had low reviews, is there anywhere I can get a reliable screen replacement?
Pretty much every screen replacement says it doubles up with the HTC One XL. If anyone can help it is greatly appreciated.
can I use the old cable? somehow

Hi,
The LCD on the One X and the XL can be different, there is a Sony and a Sharp version which aren't interchangable, but the Digitizer should be essentially the same, as the connectors are identical.
That said, I have come across a dodgy digitizer that was brand new before, and it occasionally does happen. If you want to tell the difference between the sharp and sony version of the LCD, the sharp version gas a green backing to the LCD flex cable while the sony has an orange/yelloy backing to the flex cable, check the attachment i've posted, the one on the left is sony, the one on the right is sharp. It is possible that you have a bad digitizer, but i take it that the LCD works. If thats the case check the connector pins on the main board to make sure they are not damaged (do the same for the digitizer) if it looks ok, and the digitizer is still playing up, i'd try and get a replacement.
Hope this helps
Well I got the thing back together, but I have problems mainly that I'm getting no signal, lastly what thickness of tape should I get?
You may need to open it up again and check everything is connected properly and that it's seated correctly in its rear shell, as there are contacts on the mainboard that touch the antenna mounted inside the shell, hopefully the phone is recognizing the sim and network.
I'm not sure what you want the tape for, could you explain?
We used carpenter's tape, because the tape we supposed to be supplied with didn't come in and the customer is in a rush, I was just asking what should be the thickness of the tape etc
Sorry, I wanted to know what you were going to use tape for, if it was to keep digitizer stuck to frame, I'd use the smallest amount of instant adhesive, being careful not to allow it to run under the glass, where you would see it when you press it down
We'll the screen is almost sticking out of the case despite this being the strongest tape I've ever run into, so I'll guess I'll need thinner tape I just don't want to take everything apart AGAIN and retape. It's a pain to do So should I remove the tape and use glue? Or get thinner tape?
If it's for the back of the LCD get the thinnest double sided tape you can, preferably something reputable like 3m as this is what's going to hold everything in place, if it's the digitizer, I'd use adhesive the tiniest drop in each corner and in the middle of each side, then press until it sets, you just have to be careful as if you use too much it can run from under the glass, and be visible.
---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------
Just as a tip, you can get a replacement mid frame that already has the 3m tape on it, but I still like to put adhesive on the edges of frame where digitizer sits as sometimes the pressure of putting everything back in the shell can make it pop up.
Well upon taking it back apart the lcd, it got ripped like the bottom half of it is stuck to the tape the top half on the case and there are a bunch of white sheets etc in between them. now should I order a new one or can I repair this? its split in half, nothing is ripped. I'm about to just order a phone off amazon at this point.
You will have to get a new one, look at the videos on YouTube, there are plenty to help, but make sure you keep old one to change over as the phone needs to be turned on to do the LCD change. but if it's really damaged, you cash pick up a used one x reasonably cheaply, but the one m7 or m8 are great phones.
Well, after a couple of weeks with my shiny new ZE551ML (RAM 2GB) purchased overseas in a trip, today the big bastard fell and cracked the glass .
So a new screen (complete screen, even if touch and LCD still works but don't want to mess with heat gun) is on the way via Aliexpress, I've done some similar procedures on more complicated phones but can't find any official procedure or documentation for this one, maybe too new?
So anyone has a PDF or webpage with the procedure?
Best I could find is this, but many pictures are missing

Bout the best one available at the moment. Looks fairly simple to do, especially if you are replacing the entire screen assembly, not just the glass.

Thanks, at least it's better than the one I found. But no specifics instructions on replacing the screen (separating the last housing from the old panel. Glue? Heat Gun? Double tape?)

I do not know unfortunately. I would think it is tape, as most tend to be tape, but I couldn't say for certainty.
If you would like to set up an Out-of-Warranty RMA for ASUS to repair please send me a private message at [email protected].
Or you may apply for an RMA online at http://www.asus.com/us/support/
Please ensure to mention the damage otherwise it will be rejected if received with no reported damage.

Here's an album I've used to replace my screen, (pictures are from the first link I've posted before) there are a couple of things to consider that aren't one these pictures nor any on the internet and don't make the sames mistakes I did. If you have pictures, and working screens from a different seller, please post it and I'll add it to the thread .
http://imgur.com/a/Rmy02
The tools I've used are screwdriver, a metal spudger, double-tape for cellphone repair, and a heat gun. And of course, your replacement screen. In my case I've purchased for 30 dol. on Aliexpress, but did not come with adhesive or tape so you have to have your own.
To remove the first section (4th picture), not only do you need to remove the cover and black and silver screws, but be careful because the center "rails" (the plastic parts to the sides of where the double sim and sd-card are) of the section are fixed to the battery section with "light" double tape, nothing too strong and can be lifted with care.
In the 5th picture, lift the white part of the connector and very carfeully to remove the ribbon. I've made the mistake to be too forceful and cracked the black part a litlle bit.
WARNING! THIS STEP IS THE MOST DIFFICULT, MANY PEOPLE BREAK THEIR BATTERY WHEN REMOVING, SO BE CAREFUL. AGAIN, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
Now, one of the most difficult parts of the teardown is between 5th and 6th picture. After removing the uppers ribbon you have to take the battery compartment, and let me tell you that the white double-tape that glues the battery to the frame is one of the strongest i've ever encountered. A metal spudger can be helpful and you can start with pressing the left side, but don't separate too much or go too deep cause you might damage the envelope of the battery (I scrapped and exposed a litlle bit of the cells, but for the moment the phone works and don't heat. Just in case, I already ordered a new battery) . So be extra careful on this step.
In the 7th picture, things looks a little different of what I've found, the upper board has a metal protection that's soldered so DON'T TAKE IT OUT! Remove the upper left small ribbon very carefully. The cables on the down board that connects to the vibration motor are very fragile so be careful.
At this point, you can remove the speaker (I didn't) and you have the upper section, so the real hard work starts to be able to replace your screen. I'm sorry but i didn't take many pictures of this procedure, but again a metal spudger was helpful to be able to separate the cracked screen from the frame.
Remove all pieces of glue, glass or residue that's still on the frame and put the first part of the double-tape on the frame but don't take the upper part just yet. Take the replacement part and check it fits on the frame, paying atention to the two ribbons, one in the middle and other in the upper side. In my case, when I did put the screen I started with the upper ribbon and then guided the middle ribbon to it's hole and then fit the screen to the frame.
Make all the steps in backward order to be able to re-assemble the phone. The final optional step I did, is to seal the double-tape in the screen with the heat gun and some weight (I used a 2.5 drive and a couple of 3.5)
So in the end, I managed to replace the screen with only a couple of small mistakes. When my new battery arrives, the steps will be similar (I removed the white strong double tape with a light adhesive one, so it will be more easy to remove and replace the battery).
All in all, it went pretty well
LIST OF SELLERS WITH WORKING PARTS, according to users
AliExpress - Shenzhen OMG Trade co.,LTD - Screen For ZE551ML - USD 22.39 - gipikay (OP)
Nice to see someone succeeded, I laughted at the big hard drive lol Those 3.5'' HDs are huge. 30$ for the 5.5'' 1080p screen is pretty good, there are for 20$ too.
I tried once replacing an iphone 4 lcd but the problem ended up to be the motherboard.
btw Does anyone know where is the Intel GSM modem located on the motherboard? I see nothing from those pictures about the modem. I could not find a reliable way of disabling it, tried scripts, deleting dial etc apks and /lib/ril files, cellphone still searches for signal with no sim inserted and airplane mode on.
Back when I ordered, this one was the cheapest and the only one for ZE551ML (now the same vendor lists the screen as USD 25).
If I could guess, the modem should be in the upper board, under the metal shielding (the stock pictures indicates two visibles intel chips under the enclosure, maybe a third in the right, and one down in the board)
Thanks, so will it need to be unsoldered for removal? I only use voip and cannot use gsm anyway.
Experienced basically the exact the same when i changed my display essambly. I broke the foil around the battery too, only problem is I can not find any vendor selling a replacement battery. Can you give me a hint where to buy it?
Thanks in advance!

If you install 550 screen on 551 phone, it's possible you must install rom for 550 on 551, the big difference is the dpi.

The new battery has not arrived yet
But a couple of scares aside ( if I completely drain the battery, it takes a litlle longer to reach minimal charge to power on ), the old battery seem to hold for the moment.

Be careful
If anyone tries this, use extreme caution. I exposed some cells on the battery and a little smoke came out. I don't really know what to do from here because I'm afraid to continue this further. I guess I'm out of a 300 dollar phone and 30 dollar screen
Hi all
I ordered ZE551ML for my ZE550ML .... and the person already shipped so couldn't change the order
is it ok or i have to ship it back?
is it only PPI and resolution ?
Hi guys
Failed ... Got the 551ML and mounted on 550ML
Screen turns on but no Asus initial logo etc... Is not working
Mounted all out of the box... Not removing completely the broken screen.
Main board and battery connectors only.
You guys think anything can help ?
I changed the thread title to hopefully get a bit more visibility. It seems that my issue stems from faulty replacement parts. So that leads to my question:
If you have replaced your screen/frame; where did you get your parts?
Are you happy with the product, or did you have issues as well?
-- Original Post Below --
Last week, Precious hit the parking lot at work and the screen shattered.
I ordered a replacement screen online, and followed the iFixit teardown to disassemble Precious, and rebuild it.
New screen works great, no dead pixels, no touch issues.
However, I'm terrified that I have damaged the antennas when removing the back panel.
I don't have any raw numbers from before, but I'd estimate that I'm getting about half as much signal strength as before. Prior to the replacement (even after the screen was cracked) I managed ~2 bars in my basement, and large buildings. Max strength outside. After screen replacement, I have no signal in my basement, and can barely maintain a data connection while inside large buildings (work, malls, etc).
I opened it back up to ensure that everything was reassembled properly, and everything LOOKS right. When removing the back panel I don't feel like I cause much torque to the case, but now I'm not sure.
Is it possible that I damaged the antenna during removal? Does anyone know how I can test the antennas? Any other ideas?
I appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks
It sounds like you and I are having similar issues as I have recently replaced my LCD screen and now have noticeably reduced cell signal reception. Have you found a fix for your issue yet?
My replacement screen will be here tomorrow. Ill post back if I have reception issues.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk
I have no leads unfortunately. I can't even find what leads are what radios. Upon closer inspection, there is a single antenna in the mid-frame as well.
Does anyone know which leads are for which radios? That might help isolate the problem, as I don't seem to have any bluetooth or wifi issues, only cellular.
I assembled my old cracked screen, frame and phone back to the way it was originally and now my reception is back working correctly, besides the cracked screen of course. I'm chalking this up to possibly some knock off screen/frame part that might be using different materials and is causing this signal degradation. I'll be returning this one and have already ordered a new part from another distributor. Hopefully I'll have better results once I get it installed.
Would you mind sharing where you purchased your faulty one from? I ordered mine from wholesalegadgetfix on ebay. Item: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151951830737
Please keep us updated on the quality if your second attempt, and who you sourced it though.
Thanks!
Here's the link to the first one that I purchased:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/152150335145?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The new one that I just purchased today is the exact same one that you linked to. If you are having issues with the screen and frame purchased from them I am worried that I will yet again have the same reception problems. The site said OEM part, over 100 sold and they have a good rating so it looked like a safe bet.
Either way, I will update when I get the new one installed. Not looking good now but fingers crossed.
I'm not having any signal issues with the display I bought. I did the screen/digitizer assembly only though. No frame on mine.

Crap, I was hoping it would be the other way around. It sounds like there is at least one supplier out there creating a flawed product in one way, shape, or form.
Thanks for the link PiousInquisitor. The screen only route isn't an option for me, because my speaker grill has a hole in it from the drop (that was the impact point).
Does anyone have a lead on a known good Frame/Screen replacement part?

Thanks for the suggestion but I am in the same boat. I have to replace the whole screen/digitizer + frame assembly.
My new replacement LCD/Digitizer and frame came in and I installed it over the weekend. I've done some testing between work and my home office down in the basement, and I'm happy to say that I have reception again in each of the areas where I wasn't able to connect before. One thing I'd like to point out is that this time I cleaned all of the contacts with alcohol and tightened down the screws far more than normally would. I actually took a screw and screwed it into each of the holes first before installing that plastic mid-frame to make sure each screw had the room and wasn't blocked for some reason. I'm not sure if doing all of this was really needed but I thought since that plastic mid-frame is used as part of the antenna system, I wanted a close tight fit, so it couldn't hurt anything. So far so good, if anything changes I'll come back and post an update.
Good Digitizer/LCD/Frame combo.
I had the same problem as you in that the first screen/frame combo I ordered off ebay was a great screen but the frame was not a perfect fit for the mid-frame assembly at the bottom that contains the cellular antennas and therefore I had poor signal after installing it. I tried numerous ways to make sure the antenna contacts were good but nothing worked. I put the shattered screen/frame back on and had full signal. After returning that one I ordered the following one from Nevada that advertises Gorilla Glass and the oleophobic coating that the original did and it works great. Full signal, full 1920x1080 resolution and a perfect fit.

The 2nd screen replacement worked great! Phone works like new. Fortunately I was able to return the first screen I purchased for a refund and purchased the screen on frame that you mentioned. Thanks for the recommendation!
has anybody ordered and replaced the LCD screen on this phone?

Yes. I have replaced a few as I work in a mobile phone repair shop.

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.
