Figure 1​
The screen assembly can now be removed from the back cover.
Figure 2​
All of the internal hardware is now accessible. Use a safe open pry tool to remove the tape that is covering the main connectors, as shown in Figure 2.
Remove the six (6) Torx T5 screws holding the main board and volume button flex in place, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 3​
Release the nine (9) flex cables as shown in Figure 3. Some are pop connections (antenna), others are clip (such as battery), and a few are jaw connections (lift the back clip and then release the cable).
Figure 4​
On the lower side of the Flyer we have the USB circuit board. There will be two (2) Torx T5 screws and one (1) connection to be released which is the wire connection as shown in Figure 4.
The lower board can now be removed.
Remove the one (1) Torx screw holding the vibrate motor cover and speaker in place. With this removed, the full speaker/vibrate motor assembly can be removed from the device.
On the main board, there will be silver tape covering the touch screen flex cable. Remove the tape and release the jaw connector. Remove the motherboard from the device.
You can now heat the front of the touch screen using a heat gun or hair dryer on medium hate. Use quick movements around the outside edges for about 60 seconds. Now, using a safe open pry tool, pry between the front housing and touch screen to release the adhesive holding it in place. Reheat the touch screen if necessary.
Carefully feed the touch screen flex cable through the housing and remove the touch screen digitizer from the Flyer.
Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.

What a good guide thanks.

Just in time! Daughters Flyer has vertical lines going down the right hand side of the screen, I am going to attempt to take it apart to see if there is anything loose.
Has anyone successfully repaired a Flyer with this problem?

Yes. Your LCD screen is damaged. You will need a new LCD screen to replace the damaged one.

Thank you for the reply. Is it worth sending to HTC for repair? I bought it around December but it was an open box. If not, generally how much does the screen cost, and is it easy to replace ( with the right tools and patience)?

You have a message repairsuniverse

When you say the screen is not working do you mean the touch screen or are you getting no picture?

So I followed your excellent guide (to replace a battery), and I thank you!
However, in the process, I managed to break, break-off, loose, the Vol- button. I can no longer feel the button protrusion when the case is off, and with the case and volume rocker on, there is no Vol- function.
I can find work arrounds, but if their is an easy fix, I'd be happy to hear it!

Any tips on how to change the USB port? Mine flew off like a bullet when my wife dropped it.

Using a safe open pry tool, gently run the tool along its sides of these brackets and they will come right off.
Next, you’re the one to remove the following (4) four screws first, two on the bottom of the phone, and two on the top. These are T5 torx screws.

Figure 1​
Next using your Torx5 screw driver, remove the two screws on the back housing cover.
Next, using your safe open pry tool, run along the long sides of the phone, this will enable you to release the back frame housing away from the front assembly of the phone.
Next, using a Torx three screw driver, you were going to remove the following (9) nine screws holding your frame in the place.
Next, using a safe open pry tool, you were going to release the LCD and digitizer cable flex ribbons. One is holding by a jaw connector, you will need to release this jaw connector as shown here to release that flex cable.
Figure 2​
Now, you’re going to need to release the antenna flex cable holding the place on the top of the phone. Use your finger or safe open pry tool to gently release it from the board.
Now, you can gently move your motherboard over to the left hand side. You will notice that the flex cable in the middle of the board is either connected or disconnected from the board. If it is still connected, use your safe open pry tool to disconnect it from the board.
Lastly, you’re going to remove the camera from the actual back of the phone. Once this is removed, you can safely remove the motherboard away from the phone.
Now, using your Torx three screwdriver, remove the following (4) four screws from the bottom of the phone.
Now, using a safe open pry tool, gently release the flex cable ribbon with the jawbone connector from the phone. Be careful to release the jaw connector first before removing your flex cable ribbon.
Figure 3​
Now, you will need to go ahead remove the flex cable ribbon from the phone. Be careful, it is holding place with adhesive, so when you release it from the middle backing, it will take a little bit of effort. Do not tear the flex cable ribbon doing this.
Once this is complete you can now separate the LCD back plate from phone.
Next, using a hot air heat gun, gently heat up the sides of the digitizer touch panel. This will go ahead and loosen up the adhesive holding your touch screen in place from the actual midframe of the phone.
Now, using your safe open pry tool, gently run along the sides of the touchscreen from the housing. This will allow you to separate the touch screen glass from the actual midframe housing of the phone.
Once this is complete, you can now replace your touch screen digitizer on your Droid X2.
Figure 4​
Now you will be able to replace any parts on your Motorola Droid X2. Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.

Great info...my son dropped his while standing on a rock pile foundation and it's about 50 pieces (give or take 2). We're going to replace the screen ourselves. It's cheaper to replace the screen then paying the $99 insurance deductible. There's also a video showing the steps but now I don't have to write it all down in order to put it back together.

Help!
So, trying to help out a neighbor friend and I took apart the phone without ANY problem. I couldn't get the original LCD screen to light up again (figured I broke it prying it out) so I bought a new one on ebay. Now, that one won't work. Note: I notice there are a lot of contacts on the phone, and I'm testing it prior to putting all the screws back in and everything. Any idea what may be wrong. I know it didn't 'break' anything (other than possibly the LCD) taking it apart - it was quite easy. Let me know if anyone has a though of something I may be missing or what else I should attempt.! ...and soon!
Thanks

Remove the eight (8) Torx T3 screws located in Figure 1.
Now, using a safe open pry tool, remove the back housing from the rest of the device.
There will now be three (3) more Torx 3 screws holding the metal frame in place, as shown in Figure 2 that will need to be removed.

Remove the heat shield, as shown in green on Figure 2, using a pry tool, as shown in Figure 2. This will expose three (3) pop connection that will need to be released.
The motherboard can now be removed from the device. Use a safe open pry tool to lift the motherboard away from the screen assembly. Note that there will be a large metal bar on the lower portion of the motherboard, be careful of this when removing the motherboard.
The screen assembly is now accessible. Use a hair dryer or heat gun on medium heat around the outside edges of the front touch screen. This will warm the adhesive and allow you to separate the LCD screen from the touch screen digitizer.
Use quick movements around the outside edges for 45-60 seconds. Use a safe open pry tool to carefully pry the touch screen away from the LCD screen. Reheat if necessary.
You can now replace either screen or other internal part.
Now you will be able to replace any parts on your Motorola Droid Razr. Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.

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.

It's just a bit of adhesive. They are not "permanently' glued / fused together. They can be easily separated.

Thank you for the positive feedback! We do not have the part in stock right now but we are always adding new stock. Feel free to check back on our site to see if we have the part available.
Thanks for posting this. I just dropped my phone and 1/4 of my lcd screen is out or stuck pixels. I just purchased from your store what I think i need to repair it. This will be my first time dissecting and repairing a phone and these kind of posts make all the difference.
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. Or try to sell this for someone who knows what they are doing and buy something else. Any advice?
for when you get it to come back on

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.

Z3v disassembly video?

Hi guys, I need a link for a Z3v disassembly video. I've searched extensively but only Z3 videos come up. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you could try to look into Z2 dissamebly videos, because the Z3v body very closely resembles to the Z2 instead of the Z3. May I ask though, what are your intents and purposes with dissembling?

I have watched the Z2 disassembly video but the phones lower components are a bit different. I have a Z3v that needs a screen replacement. I was also hoping to install some thermal pads for cooling efficiency.
Pretty Much the Z2

WARNING This post is long
I just opened up mine. (Back glass was cracked and audiojack had major problems.) and It is pretty much exactly just like the z2. You'll be able to manage no problem. I shot straight for the Audio jack which is just under the motherboard. You'll have to remove that no matter what you replace. However, some pointers.
1. REMOVE THE SD & SIM CARD SLOTS
2. Very tricky with the back glass panel. The adhesive on the rims of the phone comes off with ease with the help of a common hair dryer. But... there's is some kind of tape gel that is attached to the middle bottom half of the screen, attached to the battery. I had to grab a looong piece of plastic to gently coax the tape off. Pushing down on the battery and lifting the screen at the same time, slipping the tool gently in between. (If you've ever skinned an animal, it's allot like this)
Sadly, some of the black from the back of the screen remained on the tape. (Figure A) Don't get frustrated is what i have to say. Pull firmly, NEVER yank.
3. Don't forget that the NFC module is attached to the back glass. (Figure B & C) It's basically a sticker. Just peel it off gently and try not to bend it too much. And try to make the sticker fit exactly where it was on the old glass. There are some copper pokers that come into contact with it.
4. When trying to remove the battery, the wireless charging coil can stay attached to the battery. I almost mistakenly removed it.
5. Before removing the motherboard unscrew everything that you need to and gently disconnect all the connections. I found the camera, battery, main flex cable, antenna and audio jack. If you have removed the SD card and such, it should be loose. To remove the motherboard, you need to lift the side opposite of the micro USB connector first, then slide it out. The USB connector makes it so that the mother board can't be pulled up directly like in the Z2 video.
6. When removing the audio jack, there is a hole on the jack frame that was obviously meant to help you pull it out. It is stuck to the frame with some very strong water-proof adhesive. I just used a small screw driver that fit into the hole.
Well, that's all I needed. I din't want to go any further, but sadly if your front screen is cracked you'll have to remove EVERYTHING. The z2 video should be able to help you alot. When finished, clean, assemble, apply more heat (to the adhesive), then reseal the back glass with new adhesive. (You can find it on ebay) Clamp it for a bit to allow the adhesive to set and viola done.
I attached photos. But it's pretty much the Z2. :laugh: :good:

Sorry, I didn't go deep enough to see it. But if it's like the rest of the phone I'm betting it's sealed up very tight. I don't see a reason why Sony would want to weld it, but it's a good possibility.
However, I broke my back screen again (don't put metal headphones with your phone in a tight pocket.) I'm getting my replacement parts in about a week. I can check then if you're feeling really patient.
I recommend looking at the Z2 videos. Our screen most likely will be the same.
