[Q] Strip down info needed - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have the opportunity to buy a broken X10 for 100€ (130$)
I get 2 housings with it, a black and a white one (White one is new)
But the digitizer is broken so I have to replace this myself.
Now I found a digitizer on ebay for 67$
All i need now is good documentation on haw to strip it down.
I searched a long time but could not find anything useful.
Can you please help me ?
Also, do you think it is a good deal I'm getting here ? I'm quit handy so I think I can pull this off.
Any comment is appreciated, thanx !

There's a thread with some info, can't post a link with xda app... just search for "upskirt x10" and then you will find the thread!

Not sure what a digitizer is but if it works you'll have a good deal there.
Peace,

Back cover design

Thx, to bad i cant order them in my country :S
Why don't you make your own on photoshop or paint, and then print it off on some large label paper? Ill post pics of mine as soon as I finish it (soon, I'm just out right now).

too much for an already expensive product.
If postage was free i would buy.

What launcher are they using in the pictures on that site? it has a filmstrip of icons at the top of the screen, looks similar to the bar launcherpro uses (not available for 1.6) on the bottom of the screen.
That's the Timescape homescreen with the splines photoshopped out.
I've been having some problems with the transparent label paper I had lying around (the actual design would be unrecognizable), so I'm gonna get a set of white deal sheets and see how that goes.

Here's my gelaskin. Happy after the first few days.
Realy nice!!!
Good work...
What kind of material is it? Is it hard? or is it soft
thanks in advance
It's fairly soft. Maybe like a thick screen protector.
Was installation difficult at all?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Not really. Was easier than a screen protector. Only had to be sure to allign it correctly. But I could easily take it off if I missed.
if u take it of is the original mask sticky after that ?

remove front facing moto logo

it looks like its embedded below the screen? any one seen any tuts on this? I'm not trying it with out guidance cause I can't afford a new phone

Short answer is no and please don't try.

lol good answer. maybe i'll just get a decal if i can find one with a clear protector built in so that hitting the edge of the decal when flicking doesn't ruin the feel of the phone
Are u talking about were it says "Motorola" right under the top ear speaker??? Why would u want to remove it? LolLol

I'm thinking in buying the digitizer too. On eBay you can find them for 5 dolars.
If i'm not wrong, when you touch the screen you are touching the digitizer plastic. The real screen is inside and protected.
So I shud buy digittizer only?

Yes you need one digitizer only (you must buy adhesive tape also, it's "universal" for the most cellphones) with the tools.
Check youtube for videos!!

Digitizer Strangeness

Well, I'd resigned my fate to needing to replace my digitizer. Have a couple dead strips about 3/8 in wide, that go all the way across the screen. The first to appear is about 2/3 the way up, and the other near the bottom which came a week or so later. Soft keys work fine. Get crazy screen action periodically and freezes that can only be ended by screen off/unlock. Here is the strangeness though. Today the dead spots seemed to work, other than a hairline on either side of the dead spots. Noticed this when a city on my weather app loaded that was previously unaccessable (no rotation in app). Checked and confirmed dead spot anomaly with a multitouch utility. Anyway after a little use the full dead spots seem to be back. Any ideas as to what's up? Haven't heard of this happening. Could this be an indicator of a torn ribbon? Has anyone experienced this? Thanks.

You can flash PSDFIX or send your Atrix to service, cause propably it's hardware issue.

I got the same Problem, about 3/10 of my touchscreen is ****ed up :/ is there a easy way to fix it (and ofc cheap way) ?
Thanks
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Probably not. It's very likely a hardware failure, so it's kinda like asking how do you fix a burnt lightbulb.

Can somebody tell me what parts I need to buy, for repairing my Atrix at home? Has somebody experience in fixing this problem?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
There are digitizers on ebay for a reasonable price. I just ordered one that comes with the digitizer, half a dozen tools and a precut adhesive to attach the new digitizer for about $60 us. Seems to be an all inclusive. Just search "atrix 4g digitizer" filter new and buyitnow an.d you'll find it no problem.

Is this the right Item?
I just need the digitizer, right or do i need anything else?
Thanks

This is the one I bought. Has everything including tools. Need adhesive which is included in this auction.
Got My GS3 I9300 now so not using Atrix anymore (good thing too). Replaced digitizer myself and Atrix is like new. Not more than a couple days after the atrix repair was complete, my daughter got her 2 week old iphone stolen so I sent it to her to use. Some douchebag kid asked her to use her phone to call his mom and as soon as she gave it to him the [email protected]#!$%^ little piece of sh!t took off like the wind. Hope some day the little prick tries it on some olympic blackbelt with no conscience who then proceeds to slowly dismantles him piece by piece, or at least make his hands permanently unusable. Anyway the link I provided is a good source for atrix digitizers.
Thanks all and good luck!

Much appreciated

It's really simple. You only need adhesive (glue, double-sided tape) if you're getting just the digitizer, without the frame. I wouldn't advise that since it can get messy. Other than that, you only have to pay attention to the rather short and fragile flat cable that connects it to the motherboard. Just follow the disassembly videos carefully and don't be lazy to remove extra components like the screen, even if it seems unnecessary. It might make all the diference in the world.

[Q] note 3 help

Hello everyone this will be my first post on here I haven't really posted anything because most of my answers I find them on the search bar. But I haven't really found a solution to this problem. Well here is the story my friend found this sprint note 3 completely broken had no battery no stylus. It does have a bad imei, but I like to fix phones so she give it to me. I bought a verizon digitizer with frame and stylus I also bought a battery. Put it all back together but the cell phone wont power up I was wondering if any of you had any advice to what it could be? One are of the phone does gets really hot when plugged in the one with the green sticker. I was also wondering what arw the gold pins sticking out thanks.
Did she find it outside? I'm thinking along the lines of untraceable water damage.... shame, would have been one heck of a come up!!!
