Hey guys my wife has a fascinate and it fell off her desk today and the screen inside (lcd crystal) part is all lines and mixed colors, can't see what it should be like, Is there anyway to fix this or should i just toss it and buy a new phone. I have insurance but not sure what it covers and I have a custom rom on it so am I screwed or what? It turns on and screen vibrates when you touch it but can't see what your doing at all.
Any help?

I need some advice, I've tried replacing my screen and now it doesn't even light up, let alone display anything...
At the start of the summer I was messing around with a boomerang and believe it or not it smashed at great speed into my v1605 Hermes. Even though I had it in its case, the screen had some cracks and some parts not showing anything. I carried on using it like that for a while and started looking for a replacement screen. I found and bought one on Ebay.
Screen replacement, 1st attempt
The first screen that I received showed only a white screen when booted up. I tried fitting it many times with the same result and when I put my cracked screen back in it still worked, so I presumed it was a faulty screen and sent it back.
Second screen
After some dialogue with the company I bought the screen from, I was sure that the second screen would work, but when I fitted it I got nothing, it didn't even light up... just to check, I put in my old screen and got the same... it doesn't light up or display anything even though my Hermes boots as normal.
Help!
Is there anyone who can suggest what might be wrong and what I can do to fix it? Please?
Screen for sale
It may be that I've completely messed my Hermes up, in which case I now have a mint condition replacement screen, pm me any offers, although I won't be selling until I'm sure I can't fix this problem.
Hi , sorry i cannot help you in this thing but how much is your screen for sale?
The screen cost me fifty euros. I'd sell it on for the same price if I can't fix it... plus postage at cost.
Can't anyone help with this please???
My wife broke her screen on Friday and we went to a local shop to get the screen fixed yesterday.
This morning she mentioned that she thought the color on the new screen was different. She also pointed out that the buttons at the bottom didn't light up the same.
They practically don't light up at all.
The screen seems a bit dimmer as well. Not as bright and clear.
Is there any way that I can find out what kind of screen they put in her phone short of threatening to bulldoze the shop unless they put the right screen in?
I'm more than capable of dissasembling the phone without killing it and now wish I had but wifey wanted a working phone *today*
Can anyone help out? Are there any part numbers I can use to see what she's got now?
can you take a picture of the phone from upwards, and from sideways (to see if the screen is thicker than it should be)
sounds like it's a regular LCD screen

not without taking it apart first
You can tell if its LCD by how deep the blacks are.

definitely got shafted. you got an LCD screen. i'm pretty sure the local shop orders their parts from eBay or some chinese supplier. those screens are usually LCD even tho some may claim its amoled. the only way to get a genuine Super AMOLED screen is to contact samsung to replace it. i remember reading somewhere than samsung is not distributing their Super AMOLED screens to 3rd parties

I used to be a cellphone technician for a short time and I can tell you that we fixed screens on a lot of touch screen phones... but all the parts are dirt cheap chinese knockoffs!!! There is NO local shop that uses original OEM parts!!! unless u send it back to tmobile or etc!
to answer short and accurate u didnt get the same screen ur vibrant came with!
^$%#
Now I really feel like a total idiot
Sadly my X10 has come to an end. Its been one of the best things I've owned over the past 6 months. But its current state has just made me give up on it
From what was a tiny small crack in the screen has now ended in me getting rid of the phone.
I replaced the digitizer but when doing so scraped off the doublesided glue, so waited another 3 weeks for that to come from overseas.
After finally arriving and damaged the LCD putting it back together. So waited more weeks for that to come. The new LCD is good, I boot the phone to notice the screen goes from 256k colours (looked ****) to normal - almost every time I touch the screen. I investigate to find the replacement digitizers ribbon cable which is attached to the glass has come off. Im putting it down to being faulty as so much care and love was put into putting it back togeather. Im not going to bother ordering a new one.
The last 3 months I've been without it, so its time to move on. Funny enough my girlfriend who hated her x10 since day one (yes we had matching x10's) was given an iphone so I'm taking hers.
As I speak, it sits in front of me in bits and I am seriously over trying to fix it. Its black too.
Dont let your child die
I was thinking of giving it one last go, but I woke up thinking the digitizer cable being broken wouldnt have been causing the bad screen colour. That would have to be LCD related..
So its definately all over with now!
buy a superamoled display from the SGS
oh man, its awful to hear that.
all parts are available if anyones interested
Helo.Sorry for my english but i want to ask, you have all the parts off the phone?My x10 usb is broken and i cant recharge.The motherboard is that im interested.Do you sell it?
Hello.
I wanted to know if you have some spare parts from X10 (Ear Piece Speaker Flex Cable and Keypad Button Flex Cable).
Thank you.
im really interested about the motherboard,you still got it?
Is your phone still up for grabs? Please PM me.
Regards
K
hey.
hey fellow brent I hope everything goes ok with your x10.
Good Day folks, here is the long and short of it.
Galaxy s 2 fell and the screen broke
I bought a new screen
Replaced the screen BUT two big problems occured.
1. The screen appears to have less colours than my original screen
2. NONE OF THE SOFT KEYS WORK, HOME, MENU AND BACK DO NOT WORK.
Number 2. is the big problem. Does anyone have any idea how these buttons work?
Even when I press the buttons directly with my fingers with the buttons off they still do not work.
Im baffled. Please help.
I also have attached pictures of the button area
It happened to me, I removed the screen, I replaced from beginning and it worked...
Hi Collado, do the white things behind the buttons have any electronic functionality or are those just things to make it stick?
To all future readers. I found out what the problem was. Basically,
The home, back and menu keys are all connected to a single ribbon. It appears there is a tiny piece, connected via the back key. That was torn while i was ripping off the the screen and digitizer.
See the picture attached
How much did you pay for your replacement screen and where did you get it. My digitizer is broken due to a drop. My front glass is perfect but the digitizer is completey shot. How difficult was this project?
Hi Johnboy
I cant remember the price of the digitizer offhand but make a check on ebay.. that is where i got it.
Difficulty is high as you need the minature tool set to do this effectively and a gentle touch.
However, it still appears as though the screen I bought has less colours.
Sorry to jump in and unintended hijack
I also dropped my S2 and cracked the screen, and after checking around dropped it in to the Geek Squad at CPW. Who duly replaced the screen and digitizer for £80. Only problem is the screen seems less bright and if moved off the central viewing angle the screen dims, as if it wasa standard lcd and not the orginal AMOLED screen. Does anyone know if they make lesser screens or was it fitted badly.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
DM.
I would go back with it and complain.If you dont get satisfaction then do an impression of the guy that goes into the pizza shop in "rise of the foot-soldier" film.

Hey guys, today I dropped my HOX+ (International), not for the first time, but this time the glass shattered.
Ofcourse I don't want to spend buckets for some professionals, I will try to do it on my own.
Only the glass broke, touch is still fine. Only thing I noticed are 2 little holes in the glass where
the colors seem a little bit orange. Now my questions are:
1.Is it possible to only swap the digitizer (glass) or is it too hard glued together with the LCD panel?
2.Are the orange spots (you can barely see them) a problem or the LCD panel or will they
be fixed with a new digitizer?
3.Which HOX models have the same screen as the X+, I heard the international HOX has the same,
is that true?
4.Are the LEDs of the HOX+ menu buttons red or is it just the digitizer? White buttons would look great, too.
5.Do I really need replacementkits for like 60 euro with tools and all that stuff or can I do it with my own tools
at home? My father is not a professional but he already fixed all kinds of electronic things, I got his help.
6.If replacing only the digitizer is possible should I do it or would u recommend to replace the whole screen,
that would also prevent dust in the screen.
7.In many videos they didn't shut down the phone so they could test whether it worked, is that recommended or can I break smth?
That's all I had to ask, tell me which mistakes you did or some tips etc.
Hope I get some fast responses, so I know which things to order, thanks in advance

first of all sorry for the screen.
1 . you can't change the glass only because its one part at all. like the glass,touch panel and the LCD are the same piece its too hard to separate them unless you have a IR Oven. so try the whole screen replacement. the international HOX screen is ok but the capacitive buttons will be white not red.
ps:don't try to open the chase with your own unless you know what you are doing . cuz i opened mine for like 20 times and every time i was breaking something in it. Mostly the power switch flex is real easy to be broken. good luck with that.
ps2: im suggesting you to buy the original spare of the hox+ screen and replace with that. you can do it with the box one but I'm not very sure the screen voltages are the same or compatible totally..
peace :angel:
So I am back again:
I took a new One X Plus Screen and built it in the phone..
I can turn it on, my PC detects the device, menu buttons are glowing. Now 4 problems:
-LCD is not working (digitizer works fine, I tested it with swipe to wake)
-vibrator thing is not working
-speakers not working
-menu button LEDs are glowing, but u can't see the buttons itself glow, only the LEDs are glowing
I am pretty sure that everything is plugged in how it should be done, any ideas?
Don't have a phone right now so fast help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Edit:
-vibrator thing is actually working, it was just blocked by something
-Menu buttons can't glow because there is something between LEDs and the screen, gonna fix that later
-speakers can't work because they are in the housing, sry for that mistake
Now the only problem left is the lcd, i am going to check again whether the lcd cable
is connected or not. If you have any ideas for other reasons why the lcd could not wok
please tell me.
Another question: under the menu buttons of my old screen were 3 transparent plastic pieces,
at first I thought it were the leds, but they are actually nothing electrical, just plastic pieces
glued on the screen. What are they for, do I have to keep them?
