To cut a long story short I might need to replace the lcd and/or digitiser on an x10 mini....
I only managed to find one tutorial on how to disassemble the handset and it seemed to advise against messing with the screen set up, I just wondered whether anyone had replaced the screen or knows where I can find some information on doing so??
Thanks.
Just bumping this thread, I need to replace the wifes digitizer.
Has anyone found a guide yet?
I've found a few for the mini pro but nothing for the mini.
Nobody??

Hi
Long story short, I bought on Ebay 2x 8525, one working perfectly, the second one not working (btw I knew it when I bought them...)
The working one has scratches on the screen, not the second one.
I would like to switch the screens.
Is there a manual on how-to-do so easilly?
Thanks
Michel
Either check Mike Channon's dismantling site or go on Youtube and type "8525 screen take apart." There's a full tutorial on how to do it. I would link you, but Youtube is blocked here. It's a very easy task, just don't strip your srews.
Thanks for the tip.
I have seen on Youtube one made by PdaPart.com
But if there was one available that I could print out, that would be awasome

I just received a brand new X10 Mini Pro from an eBay seller. Great little phone! The keys all work fine, however, some of them have a sticky feeling and make a 'sticky' sound, as if the pad below the keys is trying to stick but comes off.
Do any of you have this problem, and would the problem eventually go away?
I saw a disassembly guide online but it seems that removing the keypad requires lifting up the keypad area with something pointy, which I really don't want to do without risk of damage!
Exchanging the unit is a possibility but for me it would be expensive to send it back and then have to pay FedEx brokerage fee for the exchanged unit.
Hi, have the same problem that you have =) I have an x10 mini pro and without any reason my "S" key on the hardware keyboard just lost that 'click' sensation o_o the thing is that the key works correctly, but it feels really strange to press something and have not sure if you pressed that or not... maybe I used to much strong when the "S" key I don't know for sure what caused that. I removed the keyboard and got access to that transparent part of it and when pressed the circle that corresponds to the S key, the sensation is the same...
my question is: There is any simple way to solve this? Without have to disassembly all the phone? I mean I bought my phone only two months ago, I rooted it and changed to 2.3 also XD I guess if I have to send to the warranty I will have to comeback to 2.1 and maybe unroot it (if it is possible)
Also, there is anyway to unroot the phone? thanks in advance
Me too have the same the prob...Infact with a lot of keys....
I thought thats the way it is, aint it....Does anybody(or everybody) has the same prob....?
And the worst part is i never have used my keyboard....LOL
After installin these custom roms i've only used onscreen keyboard..(Installed custom roms just 4 days after purchase)
I have my mini since 0.5 year and keyboard works perfectly. @Alucart88 I think only solution for you is replacing keyboard.
hey guys getting a vibrant with a cracked digitizer for my g/f. correct me if im wrong but it appears to be next to impossible to replace just the digitizer from what i read.... (please comment if you have done it) i see the i9000 parts are cheaper everywhere but the buttons are different. i wont be running a stock rom on it and i plan on adding a ffc so....
1. would it be physically possible to use the i9000 replacement screen on it?
2. would the buttons be a problem? not sure what the square one on the i9000 is (trackpad?) or where the home button is if there is one....
3. does anyone have a clue or am i the first to bring this up? i have searched my self silly!
4. digitizers are cheap should i just try to replace it? whos done it and what do you glue the new screen with? (i cant find any decent write ups)
i know the i9000 and vibrant have diff roms but im hopping that has to do with the radios etc. maybe i can edit the keyboard file or something to make it work.. but not sure about that pad thing...
i know this is alot of questions and i dont expect one answer. if anyone has any knowledge on any of this id really appreciate it and thanks in advance!!! id like to join the samsung crew as ive always had htc (since g1) but always secretly wanted a samsung too haha so what better excuse than to get the gf one

Sorry to tell you but the i9000 screen wont work at all. You will mess up your phone up big time if you start messing with the screen/digitizer as its one unit. Call samsung repair and that may be your best bet for a new screen replacement.

It's not possible.
Call Samsung, maybe you can get it replaced for free (or really cheap).
I'm guessing that you don't have a warranty with T-Mobile, because they cover this (my screen was damaged, and I got a replacement).
The 'pad thing' is actually a big iPhone style physical home key - it's plasticky and ugly, and the reason I got the Vibrant over the i9000. You definitely won't be able to use i9000 components on the Vibrant, the i9000 screen and digitizer are built to accommodate that button, not the Vibrant's four capacitive keys.
They have the same back, though, so you can use i9000 cases and battery doors just fine.

Well if I used the i9k parts I would swap housing LCD and digitizer all together so the button and everything would be there. I'm pretty sure it would physically go on but not sure if I can get the buttons to actually work. I know you can edit the keypad file as I've done it on my mytouch 4g but not sure if that's all I'd need to do or not :/ figured someone might have been in a situation that they tried it and couldn't hurt to ask. I have warrenty and insurance on my mytouch but I'm buying the broken vibrant out right so I'd think I could buy the parts and put them in myself cheaper than anyone would charge... I've repplaced the screens on several phones already so not a problem there. Guess that's what ill do.
Another thing Id consider is the vibrant 4g screen as it has the spot for the ffc unpainted already and everything else appears identicle but only place I see it for sale there's a min 2 per order >< has anyone ever successfully replaces just the digitizer? Its sold seporate for 35 and I read you need a new ribon as its almost impossible to pull LCD from digitizer without tearing the cable.
Was wondering if anyone has found a digitizer that didn't have any inversion problems with one of the axes? All of the searching on here and other forums and I haven't found anyone with a story that ends in them having a working tablet again! Sorry if I'm just a crappy searcher, but I didn't want to sink ~$90 into a new touchscreen if it won't work out!

If your digitizer says Rev 0.03 All4cellular.com has them. Make sure when you order you send them a message telling them the one you need. I have one here, but my LCD is busted so I'm sending it back.
