Hi there,
I've dropped my WT19 and the screen now has a gorgeous crack.
I've come across a topic in the SE support forum where a guy with a cracked screen on the X10 mini says that the LCD on the mini is glued to the touchscreen and they cannot be replaced separately.
My question is does anyone know if this is the case with the Live with Walkman?
They do sell the digitizer separately on ebay, but if it's glued to the LCD it won't be any good...

lokaltrafik,
I already did search ebay, as I've said in the original post. The problem is - if I buy one and it turns out that the display is glued to the touchscreen - then I'll have a touchscreen that's of no use.
So I'm trying to find someone who has gone through this, who can confirm whether the parts are glued together or not.

Havent replaced a screen on a SE so I dont know if its glued. On my Blade it was just glued around the edges, really easy to remove. And since they are selling the screen seperalty I thought that would be the case here as well.. (Cant really see the use in gluing the two parts together and what advantage that would give)

Yep, I thought that too, but wanted to confirm before purchasing.
Did you ever find out the answer to this question? Unfortunately mine got dropped today too, and has cracks in the top portion of the glass. I've ordered a replacement digitizer from eBay and am planning on replacing it myself. Would prefer to find out as much info as I can about the installation prior to it arriving.
My replacement digitizer arrived just today, I'll take it to the repair shop tomorrow and I hope I'll have it repaired by the evening. I'll post an update as soon as I have more info.
If you intend to replace it yourself you'll find the Cell Phone Knowledge Base wiki pretty helpful (especially the service manual download link at the bottom of the wt19i article). I'm not allowed to post links here yet, so you'll have to google it.

here's the link just incase.
I left the replacement digitizer, hopefully the phone will be ready probably by tomorrow.
I had a chance to have a look at the front cover while leaving the replacement digitizer. Be aware that the original digitizer is glued to the front cover frame and also has a soft band glued to it across it's inner edge which must be transferred to the replacement digitizer. The band protects the space between the screen and the digitizer from dust. It should be possible, but I guess you have to be very careful while separating both the soft band from the original digitizer and the original digitizer from the front cover frame.

Thanks for the advice, I followed this thread to be able to find a way to clean the inside cover of my front camera. For some reasons the camera is blurd,when inspected further. The transparent cover has dust from inside. Have you guys experienced it.?

luiphilip, I've no idea about the camera.
I've got my SE repaired today, it's almost like new, so clearly anyone with the required skills and the right tools can replace the digitizer.
Im planning to get my screen cleared myself since my warranty is already void. Opened my bootloader.

So how did it go? Did you manage to replace the diitizer yourself? My GF dropped her WT19 yesterday so I planned on having a go at replacing the screen. Also how much did you pay for the replacement digitizer? I havent found any decent ebay sellers, do you have a hint?
I purchased the digitizer from an UK seller, the digitizer itself was 22 Euro + 5 Euro for the delivery (standard international shipping).
As for the replacement process - I didn't do it myself, but if you want to do it yourself you'll find the link posted by luiphilip really helpful.
hi there, sorry to interrupt.
my sony wt19 also got problem on the screen.
it didn't crack but part of itis now blank and some sort of lines appear on the screen.
do i need to change tho whole set digitizer or there is simpler repairing method?(cheaper)
Looks like the connector is loose.

The LCD underneath is still fine 100% but it's just a crack on the outer screen Sony puts on there.

Have a look @ dealextreme they sell the outher shell of x10, black and white... for 35 dollars or something..
(I think that includes the "screen" you are talking about)
actually, the screen (not lcd, the glass that is on the LCD) does not come with the housing.. i think the glass on the lcd is called digitizer

Open case, pull old screen off,clean sticky gunk off, put new screen on , close case
Even the most retarded kid could do it
Its not as easy as it sounds, you have to go through the back of the case, your gonna need a torqx 5/6 screwdriver minimum, i dropped mine due to a slight accident. short version, dont drink rum and try to flip your phone looking cool to check the time.
took about 25 minutes to get the phone stripped down fully to replace the screen (replaced the case too, but the screen repair alone requires the strip down)
now i have a nice white x10i

I think I am one of the few that has a High Gloss Candy Apple Red X10 lol. I busted the screen on mine about 2 weeks after getting phone. Instead of paying the 100$ fee through ATT Insurance to replace the phone, I spent 30$ on Amazon for a Pure White X10 Shell. A little bit of paint with an air gun and I was able to customize my own shell

didnt crack screen
I too thought I had cracked my screen cause I dropped it in a parking lot, I was rocking it naked in the rain, lucky for me the cheap rear cover came in handy as it poped off and the battery fell out of the phone the second it hit the ground so it survived with only a few scrapes and what I thought was a hairline crack that that ran down the top of the screen. so i lived with it till i recently got the inspire 4g and gave my girl my x10 but b4 i gave it to her i decided to rip off that old and scrapped factory screen protector and put on a shinny new one along with a few covers to hide my clumsiness and low and behold the screen was PERFECT not a scratch on it. The crack turned out to be nothing more than a very deep scrape in the screen protect that caused the screen to look cracked.
moral of the story is always check to make sure it is really cracked. those factory screen proctors are strong!!!(and a bit of a pain to remove.)

Bought mine on ebay for about 25€ with the chrome parts + buttons.They're cheaper if you don't need these.
i want disassembly only the front cover to remove a little speck of dust under the glass, but is it so easy like appear?
The cover is glued to the phone or not?
Could be consequences for this procedure, can i compromit the air gap?
I don't want remove a speck of dust and then with the use collect 100 of them .
If i get the phone to service, i will lose all my mods .
Please, say me is a safety procedure and very very easy.
The neo doesn't have an air gap, Arc only. I think you will get only more dust, I had the samebon my older SE phone l

Do you speak about the disassembly ?
Of course if you don't pay care, you can get more dust, you have to be fast and precise, not opening all the glass, but only a bit.
In someway the employe had to assembly it during the process and perhaps a little speck of dust remained between lcd and glass, but is is too visible under sun light.
If a careless employe allowed the access of a speck of dust, i can do better because i have not hurry, so i'm not worried about more dust during this process.
I ask you this question only to know if can enter more dust when the phone is again assembled.
Now, apart this speck of dust just out of the box, never entered dust in these months.
Okay that is a video to bookmark!
About a dust specle: Use a can with compressed air, I believe it's called Dustfree or something. Don't start with cotton swipes, you'll make it worse.
Hi,
I've disassemble my Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V yesterday and mounted it again now with a white housing, but now whenever I make a call, as soon as I press on the CALL button the screen automatically goes black... as it happens with we put the phone in contact with our ear or head.
I disassemble and assemble it again a few times but still the same problem...
I'm guessing I've messed up the sensor, but I can not be sure...
Can someone help me?

I'd like to know too please... though I've already broken the ribbon cable and am replacing the digitizer...
EDIT
Actually I meant I broke the small ribbon cable but anyway. I found out how to do it, take a thin, small and sharp knife then very gently cut away the glue, it should come off very easily. Then slowly prise the connected section of the phone, I don't know the name but the part with the orange cables. You will have to cut away more glue and you will also have to prise it off the rubber as it is quite firmly stuck in the rubber. Hope I helped, this image should help you figure what should dis-attach from the casing.

So the LCD is 'permanently' glued to the screen, rather than being held in by tabs and screws as in the Incredible? That sucks...
Hopefully someone will start selling the entire front bezel+digitizer assembly.

Thank you very much and good luck with the repair! Let us know how it goes!
well......i replaced the screen. Not thinking that I got this from a warranty claim it had some more adhesive that was not on the video. I got the screen in and it looks great...but....I messed up the touchscreen. It randomly hits and also doesn't register other times....fail. So either ordering the digitizer and hope not to f up.

Sounds like the touch screen maybe making contact with the LCD and this is why you are getting the issue.
Make sure you used the correct thickness adhesive between the LCD and digitizer to prevent this problem. This is shown in our repair video provided with the part.
Use our contact us form on the web site and we can assist you further if you have more questions.

I have read loads too but believe me when I say they don't always show. Anyway I think you have to change glass and LCD it's not even worth the hassle just doing glass

that is the over riding impression I get...in fact I followed a thread where someone had some spare units and tried separating them, 5 or 6 fails later he gave up, it's an expensive all in one unit
Looks like you have broken the silver bezel too.

Silver bezel is fine.
Also found out my house insurance overs it still annoying though... I have lost a bith of faith in the phone though, my s2 i dropped twice on concrete floor and nothing happened to it this is just so much more fragile.

The bigger the screen the more fragile it will be, simple fysics laws

I see and how is that compared? Every drop is different, if you have bad luck it falls at a wrong angle and your screens breaks, others like me dropped the phone 5 times on concrete with not a single damage

Isn't the screen glued with the digitizer and the display? If yes it's one unit and hard to replace just the cracked glas

Okey, I join the club with cracked screen! Today I was wathing a movie with my girlfriend and one other friend, and the phone (white one) was laying in the middle of the table when all of us heard a little snap, I watched my phone and the screen cracked from the "return" button to nearly end of the screen! No one even touched the phone when that happened, and the screen wasn't on! It just snapped by itself. Going to call the place where I bought it as the first thing in the morning and ask who is responsible for that!
Well, it's finally happened. One of the kids managed to break the LCD screen on their Nabi 2.

I was not there when it happened. I don't know the exact details. The kids were at their grandparents' house, and all I got was "one of the kids threw it!" The kids have thrown, dropped, kicked their Nabis in the past.... so no, I just don't know....
There is already a thread with some pictures of a tear down of the device (see just beneath this), but it does not include any details on replacing the LCD screen and glass.

Ok...So here we go...Got it fully apart..Took some pics. Maybe you guys can see something else that I didn't but it looks as if adding in wireless charging would be rather simple...Other than that I didn't really see anything of interest...what are your thoughts?

So first thing I did was remove the bumper, flip the device over, and remove the four screws in the corner of the tablet.
I then inserted a small screw driver (no place in particular) in between the two halves of the casing. If you look closely you can see the halves are held together with little clips. I unclipped the first few by working my way around with the screw driver and then was able to remove the rest by hand.
Working my way around, removing the clips I noticed that there are a couple of ribbon cables running from the LCD & digitizer to the board on the back half. Be careful not to yank on these cables as it can easily damage the connectors on the board.
The LCD panel is held in place from the rear by large plastic tabs.
I decided instead of cutting off one of the clips to remove the glass and pull the LCD panel out the front. In hindsight, it may have been a bad idea. I ended up shattering the glass into millions of tiny pieces (some of which ended up in my hand). It was then I decided to put on some protective gloves (Like these!).
The glass was held in place with double-sided tape. Not unlike many cell phones I have repaired screens on before. I used a heat gun to to make the tape more pliable and used a suction cup to pull up on the edges, but in the end no dice....
Amazon has replacement LCD panels listed for around $35 as well as Digitizer/Glass sets for the same price.... If I make the purchase and do the repair I'll be sure to update this thread,
Sorry to hear about your luck, nice thread to bookmark. Can you provide link to screen replacement?
Looking at ordering something like these.

Nice find did not know they sold it seperately.
Ordered the parts from the links in the previous post. The LCD works great, but unfortunately the Glass/Digitizer was DOA. I even hooked up the old one just to try and do a little trouble shooting and was actually able to get swipe to unlock and hit a few icons, whereas on the new one I got nothing. I have already RMA'd the glass and gotten a refund, so no complaints there. I ordered a new Glass/Digitizer from a seller in China a week ago, last I checked it was in San Francisco. I still plan on letting every one know how it goes.
I feel for you man, pulling out the glass on this thing was quite an arduous task.
The right ride, and bottom completely disintegrated in my hands up until the glue finally started giving out on me. Although, i spent more time cleaning up the left over glue than anything else.
I bought the same digitizer a month ago from the same seller listed, but due to scheduling conflicts with the owner of the tablet, I was not able to install it until tonight. Lo and behold, the part was DOA, and it's looking like I might have to eat the cost because of return policies. Such is life, I guess. I hope you have better luck than I have so far.

I know this is an old thread, I tried the new digitizer with one of the other kid's NABIs and it worked just fine. I don't remember the details, but there are different sub-versions of this tablet apparently.
I wonder if anyone else ever had any success. One of these devices was left in the sun and now the LCD is bleached.
not much luck
I've tried remove the LCD glass twice from these Nabi's and they are tricky. I used a heat gun but the adhesive their using is pretty strong and just won't give up the glass like some of the other devices I've taken apart.
Has anyone found a decent way to pull the LCD Glass away from the frame?
If you only need to replace the LCD, and not the digitizer, then you can open the unit, cut some or all of the plastic tabs behind the LCD, and remove it from the rear. It's not pretty, but the build is so tight, it shouldn't move around at all anyway. If you do need to replace the digitizer, best of luck to you buddy. That glass is a pain in the rear.

Yup. the LCD is fine. The digitizer glass is the PITA. I tried using packing tape to keep glass bits in, but the heat gun tends to melt the tape and shrink it lol.
Heat, and a very thin piece of plastic. Small gauge guitar pick comes to mind. Once you can get it wedged in there, you'll be fine. Patience. Also, if i remember correctly, the digitizer and front glass are one unit.
It may be more practical to break it on purpose. Unfortunately, my repair was a bad LCD that was made worse by a botched glass removal, and then further worsened by the digitizer being the wrong revision for that nabi.
If you do try to remove the LCD panel from the rear, that may make it easier to wedge something in the inner frame from the rear to try to remove the glass / digitizer assembly rather than trying to wedge something from the outside at an angle..
