Does anyone know for sure whether the replacement screens on Ebay are Gorilla Glass? They have come down in price considerably (under US$50) but I'd rather get a genuine gorilla glass one than a cheap knock off.
Cheers
Why?
Your first one was "genuine gorilla glass" and its broken.
So why get the same one.. IMO the ebay screens are just as good. I have one on my streak. (first screen starting bleeding and dell says not their fault... Go figure. ((after much *****ing they sent me a new phone. Its still sitting unopened in my closet. Lol.))
And at under 50$ (paid 90$ for mine) you dont have much to lose. While your at it you might as well stick a 4gb micro sd in place of the one in it.

Yeah I guess at that price it doesn't really matter. I actually haven't broken glass, funny/embarrassing story, I had some chocolate that melted in my bag where my phone was and some of it got into the socket so I cleaned it out as best I could but there was still some residue in there so I decided to spray some contact cleaner in there to flush out anything left and it worked well. That is until I turned on my phone and saw that contact cleaner and chocolate got sprayed in between the lcd and the glass!
So now whenever I'm trying to view a web page or anything white I can see a brown smudge under the glass. Not particularly good when you're trying to show off your phone to people ha ha
I was thinking of replacing the internal SD, really want to put in a 16/32gb card but seems like it's too much trouble. Would the Kingston class 10 4GB be compatible?
I can't believe they went down to $56. I bought one 2 weeks ago for $86
Mine looked identical to the original.
The max card for internal is 4gb. Class 10 is just fine. I installed one just this past weekend.

Awesome, so do I basically just take out the old one, put the new one in and just install 1.9 again?
Then just use Backup & Restore? Are there any backup programs that will backup my app installs so that I dont need to download them again from the store?

Search for "Nandroid Backup" and wade through the million hits until you find a set of instructions you can follow. I'm not trying to be a "search is your friend" jerk, but there are many instructionals out there and I have not personally tried them yet so I can't recommend a good one to you.

So i've been an Atrix owner for about 2 weeks now and my worst nightmare happend today. I was buying a drink from a vending machine and the phone slipped out of my pocket and fell SCREEN FIRST onto concrete.
I quickly picked it up and noticed THERE WAS A HUGE CRACK in the screen!
I AM SO SAD RIGHT NOW cause i bought the atrix outright from AT&T
i dont think the LCD panel itself was damaged but the glass on the surface only. The display looks perfectly fine still so i was curious if anyone knows how to switch out the glass part? What tools do i need?
I found this one ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Motorola-MB860-...838?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item588d7db4fe
is this the right part?
or do i have to buy the entire LCD, cause its much more expensive:
http://cgi.ebay.com/AT-T-MOTOROLA-A...507?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33666a4883
also, does anyone know any reputable sellers that sell LEGIT parts such as the digitizer? I'm not sure if i can trust these random ebay sellers...any suggestions would be appreciated
i attached some pictures to show you what happend - i still can't believe it happend
i'm also really surpirsed the gorilla glass broke so easily. The drop was at MOST 1.5 feet..

It's about the same price and those are both going to ship from Hong Kong. So expect a wait. I didn't find any sellers in the U.S.
There are some that would ship from the U.S. without tools but the price is more like fifty bones instead of 30 something.
Good Luck

Nah, they are more than capable. I replace digitizers frequently and I rarely have to break out my "good set' of tools. Yeah these are simply cheap lumps of plastic. But they work. And these tools should be safer to use than almost anything that the average person, who doesn't do this sort of thing regularly, might have on hand. I just didn't want him to order a digitizer and attack it with a butterknife. I was trying to be subtle about it tho... We don't want anyone to scuff their bezel now do we?
I am always on the lookout for great deals on tools for this. And I look forward to your recommendation for a tool set.

Warranty covers a broken screen? Reason I ask is because I would rather have MOTO replace the screen (or the phone entirely) than me replacing the screen and voiding the warranty. I do not have insurance
I broke the glass on my phone 3 weeks after I bought it and didnt have insurance on it. I called motorola and they sent me an rma. I sent it in and they sent it back to me fixed in less than a week. If I remember right it cost $90 for them to fix it.
so it was only the digitizer after all?

A friend and I splurged on the $60 iFixit tool kit because we made some spare cash on the side repairing classmates' phones. It works well, although I still don't know if I would justify the price. It seems that the major complaint on reviews for replacement electronics parts are the parts that come with them, if at all, so maybe getting a better set is worth it if you replace digitizers frequently. Replacing the Atrix digitizer/screen is a fairly easy task compared to other phones until you get to putting the new screen on, at which point trying to get the cables back into the housing becomes a pain.'
Good luck!

Ugh I'm going to have to do this. My digi. Is farked as well. Now, is there a video to put this back together?. I agree that taking it apart is not the hard part at all.

Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
Surprisingly there is no video to put it together...
Let me tell you from experience that it's damn near impossible to put it back together without tearing the digitizer ribbon straight off the screen while trying to slip it through that tiny hole that you pulled it out of. I've replaced two screens and I still don't think I can get it right.
My screen cracked twice while still under warranty, so I played the clueless n00b after I replaced the glass (cracked screens are not covered under warranty) and claimed the phone wasn't working and I couldn't figure out why.
Strange thing is, I also couldn't find a place online that would do replacement digitizers either. I didn't look for long, but if you don't have an option of a warranty return, I'd pay the $50 or so to let someone else do this for you and get it right...
YMMV...
I recommend taking it apart completely, you can attach the digitizer to the bezel/chassis and then you don't have to deal with trying to slide the cable through that tiny hole, you can just clean the digitizer, clean the lcd, put them together and then put the entire mounting plate back together and it just clips straight in...essentially you make this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180835204777?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
completely removes the chance of tearing the cable off the back of the digitizer...which is pretty common, sort of adds the step of getting the mounting plate off the fascia bezel...but its not to hard, be careful when popping up the volume/buttons camera cable area, that cable tears easily.
Ok so I bought my Dell Streak from craigslist, and instantly fell in love with it, until about 6 hours later when I dropped it in my garage and the LCD broke, the top is messed up and black lines keep appearing, at like 6-7 now lol
So I checked out the price on ebay, found some US sellers (dont want to wait a month+ for shipping, even to save $10+) and they seem legit, but I also looked up HOW to replace the screen. I am new to mobile phone replacement but I am good at putting things back together, and have replaced a few laptop LCDs. I noticed the Dell Streak is put together with glue, and "pressure?", and seems a little bit more difficult than a laptop LCD.
Now I am just curious about a few things... What tools (other than the screwdrivers and the plastic wedge it comes with to pry it open) would I need? Do I really need to glue things back together when I reassemble? How dangerous to the other parts is this, is it likely I could break or damage other parts of the phone? Like I said I am new to this but not stupid, and can follow DIY's easily, I just want to make sure I dont dig a hole. I paid $200 for my Streak and broke it within hours!
But let me add, I do love this phone!
ANY AND ALL HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
You can use the glue thats already there, you should also consider upgrading the internal memory card if you are doing this repair.
Most screen replacements come with both the lcd and covering glass as a unit already. Make sure any replacement you buy has both.
The biggest gotcha I have seen reported is tearing the cable for the capacitive buttons. be very careful when working on that part.
The top and bottom pieces are stuck on with double sided tape. There are a couple of suggested brands in the screen replacements threads both here and at StreakSmart.
In case you missed any of them here are some screen related links:

i have a dell streak 5 and i droppedd it off my bed, the lcd is broke in the top corner and its leaked.
phone is unlocked running longhorn 2.01 and works perfect, no glass damage, just the lcd, and i cant be bothered, it has also been modified with an internal 8gig card instead of 2gig.
My question is, i dont want to pay to replace the lcd and im not bothered, upgraded to a galaxy s2, so, in its current working condition, unlocked and just a broken lcd, HOW MUCH is a fair price to sell it for for anyone that wants to repair it?????
And if anyone is interested, please message me, i just want rid of it now.
Thanks guys...
Interested, where you located and how much you asking?, am searching for replacement lcd cost now, so will need to factor in shipping cos funds are limited here (living in Singapore)... i have a wildfire s i am trying to s-off (hardware only) so am weighing up the cost of an xtc clip to s-off against price of your dell streak, i've seen them around, big buggers yeah, but i heard very reliable, can you advise any downsides to owning one that you have found (apart from breaking it of course lol).

hello and thanks for your reply.
Dirst of all, the streak is an unbelievable piece of kit, it is so moddable its hard to believe, some manufacturers have their phones so locked down its hard to do anything with them, the streak is easy, its literally a 2 minute job to flash a firmware, and sooooooooo easy, the best thing about the streak is that its practically impossible to brick it, unless the user does something really stoopid like flashing a wrong firmware, ie, galaxy ace gingerbread onto the streak lmao, believe it or not, it happens.
The next best thing is that a tiny piece of plastic hidden behind the battery door out of sight has been removed, allowing access to the streaks internal mem which is a micro sd card, this allowed me to replace the internal 2 gig memory with an 8gig class 6 memory card, it can take a class 10, although im not sure if it will take a 16gig internally, so having the 8gig in there gives you about 6.5 gig internal storage for downloads, thus doing away with the need to keep moving stuff to the external sd card, its great.
It is also very fast, even though it only has a 1 gig processor the speed and graphics capability is awesome, easily outpacing a lot of more up to date phones, battery life is good, i got 10 hours constant use of surfing, texting, calling.
DOWNSIDE, only 1, the lcds are easily breakable, i dropped mine when it wasnt in its protective case, off my bed onto the carpeted floor, that was enough to break the screen lol.
The lcds are replaceable, they can be purchased at a reliable source in the uk for about £25 to £30, then you just follow the guides and videos that the boys here on XDA have posted, which may i add is the only mobile forum place anyone should use, XDA is the greatest resource online, anything you need is right here.
So the question is price, it is open to offers, i have not set a price on it and of course your location would mean heavy shipping costs, this is why i asked on here if anyone could please advise me of its worth, i have seen them selling on ebay with broken lcd for around £100gb.
I wouldnt be asking that, i would take offers lesser than that as long as the buyer was able to collect or at least compensate for postage.
As it is, it works fine, the phone still works and useable, just where its broke at the top its leaked and blotted out the top right corner where the battery icon is and a couple of mil across the top, the rest of the screen is visible apart from a black thin line.
But my advice to you my friend is buy a streak if you can get one.
pm'ing u...

The LCD is bonded to the glass, so it's very difficult to just replace one without replacing both.
Replacement LCDs are not very expensive on ebay/around though, your biggest issue is in the installation.
The ribbon cables inside are VERY fragile, the most common dis/assembly issue is damaging one of them. Replacement ribbons are not as common as LCDs so you must exercise caution when opening it up.

Dropped my Thunderbolt at the bar last night and, unfortunately, the screen cracked =(.
Where would be the best place to buy some new glass? Does something like iFixit exist for non-Apple devices =P? Also, on a side note, from a previous accident I had with my phone almost a year ago, the backlight for back and search dedicated buttons died. While I have my phone apart, is there an easy way to replace those, or are they attached to something larger? In the mean time, I'll keep using "keyboard backlight" to keep them always disabled =/
You can buy a new screen from amazon. There are repair videos on YouTube that are pretty easy to follow too. The backlights for the capacitive buttons I'm not sure about.

Just a tip, I fix phones for a living and it is incredibly difficult to remove the LCD without breaking it, I would highly recommended buying the LCD and digitizer together. Use repairs universe or wholesalegadgetparts.com, I've had great experiences with both.
I can see where you are coming from but all of the replacements I saw were both in one piece.

Just a quick update for future reference:
I bought a digitizer ONLY from Repair Universe (RU) originally, but after reviewing the take apart guides/videos for the Thunderbolt, I figured it'd be smarter and easier to buy the LCD + Digitizer pre-assembled. So I returned my digitizer to RU.
RU didn't have the LCD+Digi combo, so I checked wholesalegadgetparts.com (WSGP) per brandogg's suggestion. They not only had the combo, but they had the digitizer MUCH cheaper than RU, keep that in mind if you're buying from the two.
The only problem was WSGP had the LCD+Digi on back-order until mid-May, and I didn't want to to wait. So I got onto eBay and bought the LCD+Digi from a high-ranked seller that a personal friend had purchased iPhone LCD's from before.
Received the eBay screen and an hour later, I have a fix Thunderbolt! It actually feels like a new phone since there are no tiny scratches or nicks on the screen! Not to mention cleaning out all the dust/dirt/grossness from the inside made my proximity sensor function correctly, huzzuh!
Thanks for the help and suggestions, you've saved my phone and wallet!
I realize the original poster has resolved his issue, but I'm posting this just as a reference for others.
My lovely wife has cracked her screen to the point it needed to be replaced twice in the last year. First time I paid $100 (including parts) to have a local place do it. The person did a poor job, claimed it was a difficult repair, and the sensitivity was wrong. When she cracked it a second time I fixed it myself using a screen from http://www.directfix.com/ and used this youtube video. I found it fairly easy and replaced it in about an hour taking my time. After my repair, it works fine although I did have to clean out some dust once (not as well sealed as factory obviously). I believe the screen, plastic pry tool, and small screw drivers was around $64 including tax & shipping. I have no connection to the company that I purchased the screen and tools from(just stumbled on them via google), but I am happy with their service.
I am an engineer and do have a little experience taking apart other electronics, but I am by no means particularly good at it. It's definitely doable by anyone with the patience, and I had no trouble replacing just the screen and not the LCD. It may have been a bit easier for me as it was the second time the phone was taken apart.
I've made Gorilla Glass a requirement for my wife's next phone...
It was definitely easier since the screen had already been replaced and the replacement LCD did not have the same adhesive that the original would have had...and the Thunderbolt does have Gorilla Glass.
Also, gorilla glass is made for scratch protection not impacts.

Has anyone replaced the screen/lcd on their tablet? Curious to know what your opinion on the difficulty/cost vs. just buying a new tablet. Seems whatever I can find (which isnt much) is about 90 bucks.
I look forward to the responses here. My sister got nook tablet from a friend that has a broken screen, if she can replace it that'll be great.
Sent from my CM9 Nook Tablet using Tapatalk
I hope someone has successfully swapped screens, i"d hate to go and buy a new tablet.
It should be possible as long as the screen/digitizer is available on the market somewhere. Also, someones opened one of these before, I believe it's connected via ribbon (no solder) if that's the case the only annoying thing about it might be if it's glued to the front face or not.
I've replaced screens on a lot of things previously. Just never had to look into a nook tablet before.
I've replaced the digitizer on a Kindle Fire (and just about every cell phone and iPad) which was very simple. The LCD and digitizer are one piece on the NT, which makes replacing a screen more expensive, but also a bit easier (with no risk of getting dust or debris in between). Having said that, I've never opened a Nook Tablet, but I believe it should be a very easy task if you've ever worked on a modern cell phone. Ifixit has tear down right here, not a full how-to video, but it looks very easy.
I checked out that website and it shouldn't be too hard to replace. Mybmain concern is the price range for the LCD/digitizer of around a hundred dollars. If someone can find a better deal, id love to hear about it.

I new tablet from Craigslist would be much cheaper and better Just my 2 cents!
I've taken the covers off the nook color and that was pretty simple. Look it up on YouTube, not as difficult as you would think. I think (depending on how much you got it for) it could be worth repairing.
Sent from my NookTablet using XDA
Not having luck finding an LCD in stock.. also, some seem to be calling the screen "For Nook color tablet" Is that implying its for a nook color or just that its a color screen for a nook tablet? lol..
I've come across a few referenced that way so they can emphasis that the color is a Tablet. Avoid those,as they are meant foe the nook color and I read that they have a different screen than the nook tablet
Sent from my CM9 Nook Tablet using Tapatalk
i agree with @balrog558. the NT screen is a premium one with very good specs. the marketing blurbs say that it is and when you look at it closely, then you gotta agree with them. probably, the screen is the most expensive part.
I found a site called portatronics dot com (I can't post links yet) that has them. I am just not sure which screen I need personally. My son dropped my tablet onto a cement floor and the outer glass cracked but the screen under it still works perfectly. In fact the everything works perfectly, no lines in the screen and anywhere I touch it, it still works as if nothing is wrong, there are just cracks on the outside. I don't know if this is the "digitizer" or the other one and from this website they have both and I'm not sure which one to buy.
The Portatronic's website will repair yours for $100 (they will not sell just the part). If you want to do it yourself, then PowerBook Medic will sell you the part for $70. I have tried to seperate the LCD and digitizer without success. I feared that the prying needed to seperate the two would wreck the LCD.

I replaced the LCD and digitizer on a nook Color it was pretty easy I found the parts for as low as 45$ I had to dig a little. And there was a tutorial on YouTube on how to take it apart and change it. It wasnt too bad. Good Luck!
