I cracked the screen on ViewSonic GTablet I am going to send it in for repair but want to make sure that I have gotten any data off of it. Vegan Tab ROM, only other computer is Win XP. I access to Android phones. Any suggestions? I am new to tablets and the forum. Searched the forum but no similar post.

Why not repair yourself? I'm new to the gTab, but aren't their parts available?

No self repair parts are available. The external glass is actually part of the digitizer. Not sure where he's sending it for repair (or what it's costing) but in the past, US Merchants has told others that replacing the digitizer was beyond economic repair.
Was not aware the GTab had a real digitizer. Interesting.
A thought. If a screen has a small crack, I wonder if the automotive windshield repair places would work? Hmmmm.

Yep, it's the digitizer that gives you the capacative touch interface screen & buttons.

Would probably work to seal small cracks but I have no idea if the difference in material would affect the digitizer.

Sounds weird, but this is the 2nd ATRIX I've received and within 4 months, a portion of the LCD screen just...dies. not dropped or water damaged either. Also with both phones it was the SAME part of the screen...and almost exactly 4 months apart...odd.

As you can see, that strip doesn't recognize contact, in either portrait or landscape. Anyone else experience this flaw?
Yup. But mine was at the top. I sent it in for warranty and got it fixed.

I've also got the same problem, except the dead portion of the screen is the exact part where the first notification in the notification bar is.
Any ideas?

Digitizer. The weakest part of that phone. If its in warranty, you're lucky. If not, search around for a replacement.

I just bought my second digitizer. (first one was not oem and worked but it didnt have minor details like tint where the sensors are.) My original one went dead, the second one i dropped the phone and it started going bad. Here is a link to an oem one from amazon. It should get here by monday so I will update you on the condition of it. I would NOT recommend going for a cheaper non-oem version.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053EYGEO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
EDIT: I got the digitizer... and broke the ribbon cable lol. It was in perfect condition though and the company issued me an RMA so im getting another. I am sure that it worked fine. Seems like a great company (i got it from seller1on1) I have bought from them before, i cant say anything about how good the other companies are.
Is there anyone who has an archos 70 internet tablet 250 gb with a broken screen and want to sell it?
i dont't have one - but it would be easyer to help u if u would tell wich part u need
i need the main cable that connects the screen with the main board thanks for your reply. i am searching everywhere
well that shouldn't be to hard...
they are called Flexible flat cable
u should get em on ebay or at your local electronic store
The only thing u have to research on your own is the connector type (at mainboard side). But that shouldnt be to hard - imho is should be one of the default connectors for those cables - even im not sure.
Maby "scholbert" knows... u could ask him.
Count the pins and try to buy one - no need for a full device
thanks for your advice but the this cable have other connection on it too is not so simple thanks...

well the picture is quite small - but I can see it's a bit different "style" then in my 101...
Anyway as there shouldn't be lines carrying combined signals - it still should be possible to rebuild that...
I fear that's the only way u have atm - since we don't know any reseller for replacement parts as far as i know - I saw quite a few people now asking for different things batteries, digitizer, display,...
But the only solution was to take it from broken device each time (besie I saw some sceen without digitizer around)
wich leads to ebay,.. but most time they are not "that" cheap...
yes i am waiting on ebay for something for me but may someone has something here
here is a bigger picture of the cable. i am going to take another picture where the actual problem on the cable is tomorrow.
here is my actual problem one of the bins in my Flexible flat cable is destroyed.
thanks for your help.
help!!!!!!!
any good news guys??????

to judge that problem, why not try to switch between webos and android, if this issue exist in both systems, that must be a hardware problem
Weird, I'm having the exact same issue.

Just tried it on web os same problem came up. Strange that it could be a hardware issue though. Never dropped or abused it. Will buying a new digitizer solve this?
Here's mine. Submitted a claim to hp. Hopefully its worth it to fix. I'm sure its not software related, but OP, which rom were you on when you started encountering this problem?

i would try first resetting your device back to stock. incliuding uunistalling any android partitions. if youre back on stock web os and youre still having response issues i would definitly try replacing the digitizer. they probably dont cost much and if you know what youre doing fairly easy to install. i do them for people with cell phones sometimes.
Hi guys, just looking at a phones glass and trying to decide whether it's too far gone to repair. I know it needs a new button also. What do you think?

Ouch.
Well anything is possible but depends on how much money are you willing to spend. Try finding a good deal on ebay for the entire front with digitizer, lcd and button like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...058?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337f67fb42

You don't think this can get done with just the glass and not the whole LCD replaced?

well anything is possible but from my prior experience with other phones, the adhesive holding the digitizer and lcd together is very strong. When trying to pull it apart it usually cracks the lcd...
So from now on I just usually buy the entire assembly.
The glass is not too hard to replace. I broke mine (not nearly as bad as yours). It took me about an hour to get the old glass off, clean it all up and install the new glass.
Make sure to keep the heat on (I just used a hair dryer) and slowly work your way around. After having a look at the photo I'm not sure the digitizer or buttons will work though. They are both attached by a very thin ribbon at the bottom of the phone, which if damaged won't work.
Holy crap it still works!
Hey folks, I dropped my Z Ultra and it cracked the glass in the corner, the screen and touch are still 100% functional but the phone doesn't look sexy anymore...
I was wondering if I will need to replace just the touch screen, I don't know how this phone is layered and how deep the damage was so if any of you guys have any experience on that and could look at the photo bellow to give me an advise I would appreciate it.
Thank you
Cracked screen:

Is almost impossible to replace the digitizer without a proper tools...
U can try but i can tell u the adhesive Sony used are pretty strong as is water resistance device...
I would suggest u to just put some stickers/protector film instead...
But if I buy the LCD + Digitizer it should be no problem right?

I was thinking of. I have replaced many phone screens before from iPhones and I've got a toolkit with tiny screwdrivers, etc.
Send it in to Sony. i cracked mine twice. first time sony charged me $250. The second time they sent me a new phone free of charge
