My prophet's screen has cracked the full length of the screen! The phone boots correctly with no problems with the LCD but the touch no longer works, is this easy to replace? If so how? I have got a spare prophet that won't boot but has a good touch screen that works correctly so I was hoping to make one good prophet from the two! I have noticed some real small screws inside the battery compartment and have tried a small alan key to remove them as they look that shape but have had luck!
Please help!!
Many thanks!

Hello all,
New member (not a techie, slightly geeky ). I used ur xda manipulator - GREAT!!! (Is there anywhere I can vote for it? :wink: )
I cracked the screen of my xda playing leapfrog with my son Parts of the screen stopped responding and I did a hard reset, Now I can't get past the stylus alignment screen 'cos at the last tap to align it goes back to the first step.
Is there a way to get past this and keep using it (hoping the screen will work) or do I have to replace the screen? If I have to, can anyone suggest a place to do so in the UK?
Thanks

Screen and touch part are separate separately, although prying them apart and sticking them together again can be tricky, we found.
There's a few message concerning replacing the touch screen on this forum:

Have you tried a hard reset? If not, then try it. It should prompt you back through the start-up and screen calibration as a new flash. For info on a hard reset, read the Wiki. You can also try to flash back to the modified AP3 and see if your device is working there. You may actually have a hardware issue.

Glad you fixed your problem. Someone else in the forum had screen problems, I will advise him to try a new screen protector before he sent his unit off for repair.
please do
as i said first for me
normally screen protector packs up gradually but this time just went in one hit ?
I just picked up a new screen protecter for my 7501 from Clear Protector,
it's supposed to be bullet proof,time will tell.
It went on easily and you can't tell it from the original
screen,this stuff is supposedly used on helicopter rotor
blades lead edges to prevent damage from airborne debris.
At $9.95 an application it's not cheap.

Could you post a link? I always have many problems putting screen protectors on, and the end result is not good - bubbles round the edges etc. even with quality ones, like the Martin protector I have now. I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra for a decent one that went on easily and looked good.

Hello,
yesterday I installed some new games on my p4350 and let a friend play with it,
unfortunally he pushed to hard with the stylus and the screen got damaged . the screen is still working but it got a dent.
now I wanna replace the screen myself, anybody can give me instructions how to do this?
Also i wanna know if the soft layer on the top(not the screen protector) and the lcd, is one thing.

download and read that ,it will show you how to disassemble the herald and take the screen out
Replacing digitiser on Herald as opposed to Hermes
Scuse me for butting in but I have both just bought a Herald with a broken screen AND have done a few screen replacements on Wizards, Blue Angels and Hermeses.
On this Herald I had just assumed that you could basically follow the video on YouTube which shows how to replace a screen on a Hermes? I see that the PDF file is quite complicated and is designed to show you how to take off every tiny part if it has failed. The screen replacement is far easier that this, right?
Secondly, I see that you can buy the screen separately from the 'protector' which is I assume the bit with the hole in on your unit? I have to say, I had never seen these replaced separately before: Is this something special to the Herald or can you replace this digitizer separately from the screen on other units as well? If so, how on earth do you get it off the screen please? And is there a reliable way of getting one back on? (There is no reference to this in the pdf manual but the digitizers are suddenly being sold on ebay for about five bucks)
So the question is whether this is still as difficult on the Herald as threads on the Hermes suggest?
I've opened my Herald, and to reach the screen you have to disassemble the whole thing.
It's not that difficult (albeit while following the service manual, since there are a lot of tricky areas like removing the Keyboard), you just need to have patience and not rush it.
Any way to set up device after flash with no touch screen.
The digitizer or screen is not functioning, before i take it all apart as shown anybody no of a way to bypass the touchscreen setup.
before trying to change the digitizer...
(and i know this is crazy but worked for me after replacing the cable going from the screen to the board)
install a screen protector and try again!
I had the same problem after opening my Herald, and right now the screen only works if i have a screen protector on. If not then nothing happens
digitizer replacement is actually very easy.

As I have now posted on a different thread, the digitizer replacement is actually very easy. You just slip a razor blade under the tabs and lever it off after removing that yellow tape on the back.

I agree. It was not difficult at all. I took apart and put together the phone a few times after just to develop a feel for it.
We have a tendency to get nervous about it but if you relax it becomes easier.
I have a a extra digitizer that I never used. If anyone wants it, pm me.
I have been searching and unable to find an align screen cab fix. My telus tp running NSFans latest rom won't move past the Align Screen page. Would someone be willing to help please! Thanks.

Have you hard reseted the device after flashing?
Be sure to use the Stylus. I know with my vogue I did not have to use the stylus to align the screen, and when I got my TP I could not align my screen, then tried the stylus and all was well.
This is not a NFSFan issue, it applies to all TP's.
Hope this helps, 'cause you don't know what you're missing,
yet.

Technically, you could align the screen without it. It may the that the threshold value for the screen pressure is set too low, so it is hard for the device to recognize softer screen taps.
Hey guys, today I dropped my HOX+ (International), not for the first time, but this time the glass shattered.
Ofcourse I don't want to spend buckets for some professionals, I will try to do it on my own.
Only the glass broke, touch is still fine. Only thing I noticed are 2 little holes in the glass where
the colors seem a little bit orange. Now my questions are:
1.Is it possible to only swap the digitizer (glass) or is it too hard glued together with the LCD panel?
2.Are the orange spots (you can barely see them) a problem or the LCD panel or will they
be fixed with a new digitizer?
3.Which HOX models have the same screen as the X+, I heard the international HOX has the same,
is that true?
4.Are the LEDs of the HOX+ menu buttons red or is it just the digitizer? White buttons would look great, too.
5.Do I really need replacementkits for like 60 euro with tools and all that stuff or can I do it with my own tools
at home? My father is not a professional but he already fixed all kinds of electronic things, I got his help.
6.If replacing only the digitizer is possible should I do it or would u recommend to replace the whole screen,
that would also prevent dust in the screen.
7.In many videos they didn't shut down the phone so they could test whether it worked, is that recommended or can I break smth?
That's all I had to ask, tell me which mistakes you did or some tips etc.
Hope I get some fast responses, so I know which things to order, thanks in advance

first of all sorry for the screen.
1 . you can't change the glass only because its one part at all. like the glass,touch panel and the LCD are the same piece its too hard to separate them unless you have a IR Oven. so try the whole screen replacement. the international HOX screen is ok but the capacitive buttons will be white not red.
ps:don't try to open the chase with your own unless you know what you are doing . cuz i opened mine for like 20 times and every time i was breaking something in it. Mostly the power switch flex is real easy to be broken. good luck with that.
ps2: im suggesting you to buy the original spare of the hox+ screen and replace with that. you can do it with the box one but I'm not very sure the screen voltages are the same or compatible totally..
peace :angel:
So I am back again:
I took a new One X Plus Screen and built it in the phone..
I can turn it on, my PC detects the device, menu buttons are glowing. Now 4 problems:
-LCD is not working (digitizer works fine, I tested it with swipe to wake)
-vibrator thing is not working
-speakers not working
-menu button LEDs are glowing, but u can't see the buttons itself glow, only the LEDs are glowing
I am pretty sure that everything is plugged in how it should be done, any ideas?
Don't have a phone right now so fast help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Edit:
-vibrator thing is actually working, it was just blocked by something
-Menu buttons can't glow because there is something between LEDs and the screen, gonna fix that later
-speakers can't work because they are in the housing, sry for that mistake
Now the only problem left is the lcd, i am going to check again whether the lcd cable
is connected or not. If you have any ideas for other reasons why the lcd could not wok
please tell me.
Another question: under the menu buttons of my old screen were 3 transparent plastic pieces,
at first I thought it were the leds, but they are actually nothing electrical, just plastic pieces
glued on the screen. What are they for, do I have to keep them?
