So i was able to buy 1 16 off amazon for 99 and then i was able to get a 32 from my work. Well the 16 was working fine with no problems. But the 32 had a white spot on the screen and after looking into it more it was the screen that was bad. So i was able to return that one through my work and get a new one. Last night i opened it up and what do you know a dead pixel right in the center of the screen. So now i hope i can get a 3rd 1 to replace this one this is my luck lol

Yeah, I have a tiny dead/stuck pixel in the middle of my screen too. I'm debating on sending it back.

White spot = stuck pixel. that happens sometimes and can usually be unstuck.

Yeah (I thought he meant something like a mark or scratch on the screen glass, but I digress) -- I've tried using http://www.flexcode.org/lcd2.html on mine, as well as another online tool I can't find now. Interestingly, mine appears more greyish, and I can actually see it on an all-black screen. I'm guessing it means it's stuck as opposed to dead. The other site I mentioned actually had a test with different combinations and it seemed to get hidden on a cyan-magenta screen. Should I just keep trying to run these tools to try to "un-stick" it? I've left this flexcode one running overnight and the screen seemed the same in the morning. I have to say HP's support was very (surprisingly) accomodating and sent me a box to return my Touchpad, but I still would rather not have to.
where do u work that you have such availability to swap out touchpads? Can you get me one ?...I cant find them anywhere in Atlanta, GA. I have one but my buddy has been searching with no luck.

Seriously! For a discontinued device from a big-name company, I'm really impressed with the service. To be fair, I haven't actually taken advantage of it yet, but still. I had to go through a similar situation with Barnes & Noble with the Nook Color and was constantly treated like a lowlife thief.
That said, does anyone have more tips on what I can do to try to revive that darn pixel?
HP told me on the phone that my warranty was good and i could send it in for service or replacement for up to 1year, so i would assume they have a stash they have to keep for that reason.
hi i have atrix like over a year, and last week i had some little bugs with the touchscreen. there is some places in the touch screeen that dont respond so good and i heard there is a patch that fix that bug or there some trick. i looked in google and i didnt found them
i have recently changed my rom to epinter ics 10 and the rom work great and even i got some little improvment on the touch screen but it still work Every now and then bad so if you can link me a guide or something i will be glad
This sounds to me like a digitizer issue. I have an atrix, but only use it as a spare issue, however ive had several phones with similar issues and they were all resolved by replacing the digitizer.

I agree with cloudraker. I've had 3 atrix phones, and the digitizers are a weak spot. I would check and see if you are still under warranty. Motorola is very good about this and replaces the phone usually. I had one that was not in warranty, and they replaced that as well. Good luck.
Careful though. Motorola is indeed usually generous about this, but there's a price to pay - you will more than likely end up with a non-unlockable bootloader.

I haven't done the digitizer, but I have done a number of other parts. The atrix is a very easy phone to tear down. I'm sure there is a YouTube video for digitizer replacement. That would certainly be the cheaper way to go......

How much of it isn't working? And is it just unresponsive or is the display out as well?

So is it just a strip of the screen?
If you really really wanna be able to get it unlocked, Download the correct version of clockwork mod for our phone one that's not touch, has to use the volume rockers and fresh install the rom, Or as a matter of fact, Just boot into whatever recovery you have and clear data/factoryreset, that'll get rid of your lock pin
Hello from me too!
I have a strip on my touch screen that doesn't work. It's right where the Search button and Install on Play Store is and Clear on the Phone notifications, too.
It had the stock rom, I have replaced the screen with the digitizer when it fell down. It worked after that. I had to unscrew the phone one more time because my LCD was touching the screen and the phone had gone mad. After that, and a couple of days later, I noticed that the strip didn't work anymore. Today I finally flashed a new rom (King Cobra 3d) and nothing's changed so I figured it might be a hardware problem...
What's your opinion?
Thank you!

ive had the top bar just under my notification bar non working for a few months now, and its starting to pi$$ me off
I've replaced my digitizer twice myself. I got a cheaper one the first time, and figure that's what I get for trying to go on the cheap. (I was out of warranty). Sorry to say it but it could be that again.

I think I don't have a warranty because I've changed it myself. It's my fault...
I think I'll buy a new one... I unscrewed it a while ago so I could see if sth had been misplaced or if the digitizer had scratches or sth like that.
I saw that the ribbon's top had been ripped off right where it bends on top of the LCD... Don't know if that's the problem...
p.s. I live in Greece. My carrier is Cosmote. We don't have Sprint here...
Yep, if the ribbon cable is ripped, that would be your problem. Don't go too cheap on your replacement. Good luck!

The last one I got from Amazon is the one I'm using now (about a month old), and spent $20 US on it, which was NOT the cheapest of them. Not knowing the exchange rate right off hand, would venture to say the one you're speaking of is not a "cheap" one. So go for it. Just take your time replacing it and be careful with ALL the ribbon cables. Good luck!
Thought I'd share. May be useful to some who have had an unfortunate event...
I have not yet ordered from them, but will be soon. And I will report back with a review.
Until then... enjoy..

That's some pretty impressive profit margins, since you can buy the screen+ digitizer for about 3/5 that price on Alibaba.
Nice to see that if someone breaks their charging port it can be fixed for under 10 bucks... Nice one LG if only their software was on track with their hardware.
This is not sarcasm at all btw I am genuinely happy to see that I don't need to be worried bout my charging port.
So, my earpiece isn't working. If I wanted to order the part, would I need to get a whole screen with it?
Interesting. Hope someone can help clarify for me. My OG has a strip across the lower screen that doesn't respond to touch. Obviously a hardware issue. Do you guys think replacing the digitizer would fix it?

I had a strip across my screen when I had an Atrix 4G, and replacing the digitizer fixed it. It should fix yours too.
Sadly, E970 parts seem to be mostly out of stock.
Anyone know if a E975 digitizer/screen + front housing is compatible with a E970 phone?
anywhere a back replacement available coz i got a hairline crack on the back glass ;( so probably need a battery replacement cover i guess and cudnt find it !

That's the piece! However if it's attached to the bezel shouldn't the white screen/LCD already have it in place?
center part
Some places call it a Midframe, other places call it a Bezel , if you want your DNA to be completely white you will need this. The part above the speaker is attached to the midframe housing. Also, look at your phone, inbetween the Glass and the Back cover the Bezel shows thru. If you do not get this, in between the back cover and the glass will be black.
EDIT:
OMG two more, it helps to know what your searching for I suppose;

I'll give it a go. Whenever I take something apart I tend to take photos of the details to give it the best chance of going back together.
Looking for the best place to order the parts. I'll be ordering this weekend, hopefully, then 14 days from China more than likely.
Yeah hopefully... I have waited 2 months for an mhl cable from China once and have told myself that I will never again (at least from Amazon) order from China

I can't wait to see your results. I'm a bit afraid to pry open this phone as it's so well held together and without the glue / gaskets I fear I'll never quite get it back together the same. DNAs are pretty rare out there, and white DNA would be awesome.
Ya I don't think HTC can even repair this phone properly. I've had two replacements now and they are refurbs as Verizon is cheap. As I press around the sides and the back the phone crackles a bit, as if popping something into place. This never stops though. Kinda irritating, at least for me.

Money Is being a PITA this month and I wanted to try to get all the parts from one retailer, (Spoiler: Nope).
Also been trying to find a white screen and frame assembly, (Spoiler: Nope).
These sellers are also HORRIBLE at answering email. The only one I found who was helpful, before I knew, white was doable, only sells the black screen.
I'll get the tutorial up but it's just taking time. After taking some incredibly awesome photos with the DNA recently and with 4.3 coming I don't see a need to change devices.

besides Dev support the Note2 had nothing better than the DNA. My wife has one, I used it a week before sending it back for replacement. The screen isn't as sharp. The Exynos is slower, the camera isn't as good.
You're better off with the DNA.
You should post some pics of the end result. It would be very interesting to see what it will look like in the end.
Also, what is the total price of all the replacement parts? I might even be interested in making to transformation to my Dna as well.

F*** Me. I broke my new glass. Dang it. Well I need to get more white parts anyhow. Thinking about this more, I realized I haven't seen any white SIM trays or white usb covers. SIM tray needs to be x920e/DNA but I suppose the usb cover could be any butterfly variant. Have you seen these two parts around on white(or anything but black) ?

All the parts, except screen adhesive, can be bought from parts4repair.com and the total price of about $155 seems inline with others.
@thehoovie I doubt we'll see a white sim tray for the reason you mentioned.
Not finding a white flap is a bit of a mystery though. I haven't found one.
