Hello,
yesterday I installed some new games on my p4350 and let a friend play with it,
unfortunally he pushed to hard with the stylus and the screen got damaged . the screen is still working but it got a dent.
now I wanna replace the screen myself, anybody can give me instructions how to do this?
Also i wanna know if the soft layer on the top(not the screen protector) and the lcd, is one thing.

download and read that ,it will show you how to disassemble the herald and take the screen out
Replacing digitiser on Herald as opposed to Hermes
Scuse me for butting in but I have both just bought a Herald with a broken screen AND have done a few screen replacements on Wizards, Blue Angels and Hermeses.
On this Herald I had just assumed that you could basically follow the video on YouTube which shows how to replace a screen on a Hermes? I see that the PDF file is quite complicated and is designed to show you how to take off every tiny part if it has failed. The screen replacement is far easier that this, right?
Secondly, I see that you can buy the screen separately from the 'protector' which is I assume the bit with the hole in on your unit? I have to say, I had never seen these replaced separately before: Is this something special to the Herald or can you replace this digitizer separately from the screen on other units as well? If so, how on earth do you get it off the screen please? And is there a reliable way of getting one back on? (There is no reference to this in the pdf manual but the digitizers are suddenly being sold on ebay for about five bucks)
So the question is whether this is still as difficult on the Herald as threads on the Hermes suggest?
I've opened my Herald, and to reach the screen you have to disassemble the whole thing.
It's not that difficult (albeit while following the service manual, since there are a lot of tricky areas like removing the Keyboard), you just need to have patience and not rush it.
Any way to set up device after flash with no touch screen.
The digitizer or screen is not functioning, before i take it all apart as shown anybody no of a way to bypass the touchscreen setup.
before trying to change the digitizer...
(and i know this is crazy but worked for me after replacing the cable going from the screen to the board)
install a screen protector and try again!
I had the same problem after opening my Herald, and right now the screen only works if i have a screen protector on. If not then nothing happens
digitizer replacement is actually very easy.

As I have now posted on a different thread, the digitizer replacement is actually very easy. You just slip a razor blade under the tabs and lever it off after removing that yellow tape on the back.

I agree. It was not difficult at all. I took apart and put together the phone a few times after just to develop a feel for it.
We have a tendency to get nervous about it but if you relax it becomes easier.
I have a a extra digitizer that I never used. If anyone wants it, pm me.
I have broken my Samsung Vibrant T-Mobile US. I dont have a warranty on this... I dropped it and the screen is cracked, it is still useable and you can still see the screen clearly, but there is a mess of cracks on it. How much would it be to buy a new one? I heard stuff about screens being super amolled or sumthin, and i was wonder what that stuff was. Any help?
Hello everyone,
this is my sad story and I would like you to help myself out of this pervading sadness....:crying:
I don't know how it happened, but the screen of my archos 101 g9 cracked: the touchscreen still works, the glass has no damage, but underneath the glass there is a wide crack from side to side, with a huge stain (lcd liquid?) coming out from the cracks.
what is to be replaced?
i found this one, is that what I need? http://www.ebay.it/itm/251174616903...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1598wt_1167
thank you very much

I think you need a new screen. But mostly possible you will not be able to replace it if you're not skilled at repairing small things.
Touch screen digitizer is not what you need if your touchscreen works normally.

thanks, I know someone who can halp me.
where I can buy it online? I looked for it, but each time I find something I can't say if I'm going to buy a screen, touchscreen, digitizer or somethingelse... I can't identify what is what I'm looking at
My Transformer Prime is getting ghost touches recently and also i noticed that "The touch" doesnt work at 15% of the screen on the right side. Which should be replaced Digitizer or LCD?? pls help me!!!!
This is fairly old, but I recently solved those same problem for me so I figured that answering this might be useful to others:
1. Ghost touches: this is a hardware problem, the digitizer must be replaced. But this is fairly tricky, so it might be much easier to replace the whole LCD + digitizer assembly (easily found on ebay). It more expensive, but less risky...
2. The sides of the screen not responding to touch: as far as I can tell this is a software problem. Here is how I solved it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tran...2#post62361792
But this solution doesn't work for everybody apparently. So all I can say for sure is that:
- replacing the LCD/digitizer doesn't fix this particular problem. It doesn't seem to be hardware related.
- it can be solved one way or another...
anybody have any solutions?
Hi
My friend broke his Z2 and asked me to try and fix the screen...
I already did this procedure a few times on other phones (Galaxy S3). I'm pretty confident I can do this easily, I have a few questions though.
I should just get him the full LCD/glass/digitizer assembly right? Although his LCD display seems to still function. The other stuff seems like a pain in the ass to install (although his LCD display seems to still work...)
He shattered the back panel too and doesn't care about that. But I'll have to replace the back glass anyway right? You have to remove it to change the front glass LCD etc right?
I never had a Z2 in my life so if you have any tips or info I probably don't know about this repair I'll take it
Thanks.
you have to dissasmble the entire phone, very difficult.
