Digitizer

hi
I have some scratchs on my screen and I am looking for a replacement digtizer.
I found several on ebay,
http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=xp...+screen&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
Have anyone replaced the digitizer or know if this are original?
Thanks!
Did you remove the factory screen protector for some reason and not replace it? Or did your phone not come with a factory screen protector?

But the few scratches I have are ittitating me!!!!
Hi, I recently changed my digitizer. Put on a black one on my white phone. They are all real, I have not seen any fakes around. I also bought mine off of ebay.
--duplicate--
I wish one of these ebay listings gave a part number or model number for the digitizer... for obvious reasons.

Is this digitizer is the same part i need to change when my screen gets cracked ?
The story is my phone fell down and the screen got cracked and kinda ink appeared around the line of crack..
I was really wandering which part to change since the touch was working fine..
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...

Hey Mezo,
The digitizer is factory glued with the top glass and is considered one piece since you can't separate the two. The LCD is separate from the digitizer. If your LCD is cracked, then your display will be distorted with lines across the screen. If your top glass is cracked, then your digitizer will still work since the digitizer is not as fragile as the top glass. So the question is, is the top glass cracked? Is the LCD display cracked as well? I know your digitizer will still be functioning but you might want to consider buying a new one as for the cracks may be unappealing and annoying.
I simply broke the top glass and I did not like the crack spanning across my screen so I got myself a new one.
If your LCD is damaged then you need to buy a new LCD which is not cheap... (over $100).
@trojjanhorse
the top layer which i touch is functional, so that means i have broken the LCD ?
i appreciate if you have a look on them i attached some pic, i hope they are clear enough since i took them with 3mp cam
thanks for the help in advance, i don't know much about mobile displays

Most likely you have broken the LCD. When dark pixels appear like that, it usually means that you've directly struck the LCD itself and damaged that area.
It was a thin line at first then some Ink started to flow and became bigger the next day.
So its the LCD?
should I fix it at the service center or i can replace it myself?

You can, in theory, fix it yourself but it'll be a biatch of a job. Use the X10 undressing post to find out how to actually take it to bits...
Then put the new LCD in.
only issue is finding somewhere that sells them... I don't know if they're a generic 854x480 lcd or what so...
To change LCD is very simple, but to change the digitizer is suicide. You will need to get a new LCD. I would buy one off of ebay and install it myself. I've been fixing phones for 2 years now so I had my share of experience but it may be difficult for you. The black liquid is due to the fact that LCD stands for "Liquid" Crystal Display
Good luck.

Change the Neo V housing - detouching the touch screen.

I bought a new housing for my neo V as I have several scratches on the body of the device.
A video helped me dissasemble the device, but it did not show how to detouch the touchscreen glass and the front camera/sensors/speaker from the face body.
I found another video that shows by heating it can be easily detouched, seems like it is glued.
Is there anyone who tried that and could help?
Same problem

Hi,
I have the same problem. Did you solve this, if so how did you do it?
Looks like no one here has tried this. I ordered a new housing for my old Neo (S3 owner now) in order to sell it cuz the old plastic is full if scratches. When it ships i'll attempt to change it and give you an reply how that went.

Why don't you go to service center and request them to change it for you .. Or else go to any local mobile service stores..

I just changed mine and got stuck at the same step.
The whole thing is glued to the front case. You can carefully cut the glue and remove the camera/sensors.

Does anyone know how to replace the digitizer only?

Does anyone know how to replace the digitizer only?
I checked youtube how to replace the lcd + digitizer front panel set but I cant find anything on just removing the digitizer from the lcd.
I checked aliexpress and found
"Touch Screen Glass lens Digitizer Panel Replacement For Sony Togari Xperia Z Ultra C6802 XL39h Original free shipping"
for $90.
Do I need the
"5X Digitizer Touch Panel Adhesive Sticker Rubberized For Sony Ericsson Xperia Z Ultra XL39H C6802,Togari,Xperia L4,Xperia ZU"
on aliexpress to make the digitizer stick to the lcd?
Or should I just fork out $150 for the lcd and digitizer set for an easier way?
But I would prefer just doing the digitizer way cause its more cheaper.
Any input would be great guys. Thank you.
AFAIK is almost impossible to remove it as they were bonded with good adhesive....
Some professional equipment are available to remove them but it cost quite a bit to do so...
Even if you managed to pull it off. You cannot water proof it anymore.

Is it the same as the "Z" ?
I saw this youtube video " watch?v=1TFFHFHUJjc " and I feel like I could do it. Search "Sony Xperia Z Separate Touch Screen (Digitizer Glass) Scotle PR-1000 "
Clamps, Heat gun, UV LOCA glue, and Molybdenum wire. I think I could pull it off.

U can try but is not that easy like what they said...
It take alot of patient which i dont hv...
Good luck and pls do update us...
I fixed it already. BUT! I dont know if the digitizer is defective or I messed up the connections when I took the old one off and the new one on or maybe it some how bent or the gule is somehow uneven and it is making the touches off point.
i.e.
I turn on show visable pointer upon touch in developer options.
When I touch the top right it clicks on the bottom left. vice versa.
When I drag down it drags right. vice versa.
Or maybe I need to calibrate the touch screen? I actually trying to search it now how to do it.
Any suggestions guy on any of this?
Please help.
How did you do it? only heat gun?
My Z cracked long time ago..and now my xperia L too So I guess I could try to repair my xperia Z, but I don't want to pay for a whole LCD.
Only heat gun and wire worked?
Besides can you remove the digitizer and LCD and then remove the digitizer? Or it has to be when still glued/connected to the phone?

Can someone confirm this is a LCD/digitizer issue?

Hey there, here is an image of my gf's phone (my old one!) which i recently dropped quite hard onto concrete from about 4ft high. As you can see it's slowly dying, the pink-ish band has been coming down gradually over the past 24 hours.
My plan is to find a replacement LCD/digitiser screen and fit it to the phone. Will I need a new glass cover also? Has anyone else ever seen this and successfully repaired it?
Thanks!

If I'm correct is a screen problem
Definitely the digitizer.....
that is broken. Bought a replacement on ebay, about 100 dollars. Came as one unit, front w/glass, digitizer and connector tool and screwdriver. Fairly easy to replace. Look at youtube videos. That helps.
Be sure you get the right one. My softkeys are erratic at times. Might be the versoin that is wrong.
Any confirmation om that will be appriciated w or wo any hints to correct that.
thanks guys, gonna look for a kit now. Does anyone know if I can buy a second phone with for example, bad motherboard, and lift the whole screen and stuff from that one?
my pack arrived today, but there's a big plastic thing same shape as the screen, but like a big sticker with different cut outs. Is this the digitizer? Do I have to break open the fresh front panel? All the guides I've seen suggest otherwise, but I can't figure out for the life of me where it goes :/
just in case anyone was wondering... i never used the sticker thing. I followed iFixit directions and the phone is good as new. a snazzy white/blue hybrid!

Need to replace the glass

Hello. I am pretty devestated this morning. Mid last week I bought a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet. Spent quite a bit on it. Put it in a case, and had a screen protector on it. Though last night it had fallen from the side onto the floor about 3 foot and despite the protection it now has a crack on the screen. The LCD is fine. No problems with it. Though the touch is a bit messed up. It will only notice the touches at the bottom. It's now unusable.
I have been looking everywhere for a replacement digitizer but u can only seem to find a replacement glass with the lcd screen. Costing around £200. Where as I just need the glass.
The z1 tablet glass is around £30 and I believe it may be the same... can anyone confirm? Or will the z1 glass not work with my z2 tablwt. I think they're both the same size... 10.1 ?
Really stuck with what to do here... don't want to be paying £200 to get this fixed.
Did you ever have any luck doing this? I've managed to do the same thing and am now wondering if the z1 replacement will work. Thanks!

You should have very specific equipment for the replacing digitizer on the LCD, better and easy way buy complete set for replacing.
i did this on my z2. It was not as advertised....... the best approach is to by the full LCD and Glass assembly. To remove the old assembley you will need to heat the glass significantly to soften the adhesive. Even then, it will most likely shatter. Dont worry.... you dont need it. Chip, scrape, pull it all off the frame being careful not to damage any of the bezel or the underlying components. Then once all is off, take some goof off and remove all the old adhesive. Then put some new aadhesive or thin double sided tape in the frame track and then reset the new LCD assembley. Prior to that though, verify it works first as getting it back off may shatter the glass again.
Not to tough as long as you have the full assembley to reinstall......
