I dropped my lgog (e970) yesterday and it got completely demolished
The back is surprisingly untouched but the lcd is cracked in several places.
The phone is now unresponsive to any touch event whatsoever.
The prices to have it replaced professionally are simply beyond by means, so I'm considering doing it myself since I have experience with phone repair. My question is: Is the LCD/digitizer for the e973 the same component as it is for the e970? I ask because on eBay e973 lcd/digitizers are 60-80 dollars but the cost is more than twice that for the e970.
Thanks in advance,

You'll have to buy an e970. Our phone is different than the rest. We have a shorter yet wider and square shape.

I posted this in the Sprint GS3 area to but I just really need an answer to this.
So my friend dropped her phone in the rain (go ahead and gasp, I know I did) and cracked the screen. luckily there was no water damage to the phone but she now has a spider web screck going across the screen. I looked on ebay and see plenty of replacement screens but no where does it mention the digitizer. every sammy I've owned since the og GS has had the digitizer and screen connected. can anyone verify if this is the same or has sammy changed their ways?
Yes they are all in one piece, roughly 200-300 dollars to buy.

Im just looking for the digitizer..not the lcd and all that
Was hoping to find someone that has actually ordered the glass and gone thru the process

Youre better off replacing both at the same time. Most phones have some sort of adhesive holding the glass and the digitizer together.
If you ship it next day tomorrow 2 motorola it's like 179 and whatever you pay for shipping 4 to 5 days turn around. I now love my otter box. The other box is good because the silicone never slips never falls

Disassembly of an Amoded display and digitizer isn't an easy job as well as correct assembly, especially for thin displays like the one that XT910 sports. I suggest you to order full display assembly for the best practice. However, you can buy the digitizer itself from ebay. Prices are about 50-80 $ !
I have worked on cell phones for years!!
Heat gun works wonders
I will try the ebay stuff maybe try Motorola and see what tgey will do
Again was just hoping to find somebody that has actually bought one before
Thx again guys

I broke mine after dropping it face first on the floor, and got quoted £250 plus postage, only to find that the company had finally received the screen only to find that it would only display green. So I told them to recycle it, it wasn't worth fixing it to wait another 2 weeks after waiting a month for it.
So just be careful whether the actual screen works or not.
Are there any good, thick protective screens that do not hamper the touch performance?
It doesn't matter how thick the screen is, it's still gonna break...I broke my Gorrilla Glassed Defy so had to stop putting it in jugs of beer until fixed it which was a bugger...great old pub trick.
Broke mine a few months ago and have been looking for parts sources since. It seems that the digitizer goes for around 180 to 200 $. But sending it to the repair service here in France costs a bit less. Go figure.
Anyway I'm actually waiting to see a good price on a used phone and will probably buy one and keep my old/broken phone for (other) parts. Or sell it on ebay.

My screen cracked from a simple 1 foot fall onto my drive way.-. Gorilla glass fails honestly. It was a brand new one too, just got it a few weeks prior because my other wouldn't update to ICS.

My wife's Razr Gorilla glass broke from a 1m fall. When she went to pick it up she also cut her finger in the broken glass, something that is surely an engineering problem. You might expect the phone to brake, but not to injure yourself. I contacted Moto and they changed the LCD for no charge, at least.
A friend was using a s3 when he dropped it.. Around less than a meter as well, he's really short.. Facing up.. The glass broke. So much for gorila glass.. At leastsamsung repaired his phone for free..

Bigger displays are easier to break no matter what kind of glass. Its simple physics

You cannot replace the digitizer alone. The digitizer and LCD and fused together, just like on the iPhone 4 and 4S, and the Galaxy S, S II, and S III phones. You can use a heatgun all you want (I also work in a cell phone repair shop), but you will end up destroying the LCD in the process anyway. The screens are often sold separately so that you can buy them individually, in case you drop your phone again it will be cheaper to repair the second time.
Gorilla glass is for scratch protection, if you drop it, it will crack. There is no getting around that.
I just drop my LG phone and I sadly dropped it in the wrong place. I am having a hard time finding a new screen for my phone, can someone help me. And does the p760 screen works with the p769?
Well that's a downer... Fro what I've seen the p760 won't work... I think this might be it, I'd read into it further... Not sure if it's just the parts...

Yeah I'm having the same problem for my wife's phone. No one has the glass part. Etradesupply.com is out of stock too. I'm gonna call them Monday and see when they might expect a stock order. You can find the 760 everywhere.

Same thing happened to me when my phone was three weeks old. My service provider wanted to charge me almost the full price of the phone for the repair. I got the replacement digitizer and glass lens (surprisingly it was an original part that I got haha) through ebay and I did the repair by myself. You should search ebay for the part that you need. It will work out a lot cheaper than sending the phone in for repairs
This user just replaced his P769 glass. Ask him where he got it from.

Add me to the broken screen club
I am in need of a replacement screen, only ones out there are either for the 760, or sold out from china shops online. So if anyone finds a place to buy them please share, thanks!
p769 replacement screen digitizer
Hey guys i found a website aliexpress that says it has it, but many bad reviews, and most likely a scam so watch out for the website.
So you basically need a new lcd? Or just the digitizer and glass? I got my digitizer and glass from China and it was an original part, with correct part number and the original screen protector with the print on. Sometimes these guys sell legitimate stuff for great prices

idk about overseas merchants, and the payment options money order etc. seem questionable.. If you do go through with the process, share your results
I wont say that I recommend buying from a merchant overseas, but the website looks all right and everything looks secure. It is much better than trying to work a phone with shattered glass
UPDATE
Ebay now has p769 digitizers for 50$, from china and search "OEM Touch Screen Digitizer LENS FOR LG Optimus L9 p769 T-mobile black" it looks oem but the back looks odd, but check them out doesn't hurt to look
I bought this one from Hong Kong. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=130904045759
I'll have to wait and see.

waiting game
Still no support on the p769 l9 digitizer screen replacement. Though i heard if you contact dealers that sell lcd/digitizer combo and request digitizer only they can sometimes work out a deal. Until then back to waiting
FINALLY!
Hey guys there is finally a ebay dealer in the U.S who has OEM p769 digitizer screens. only 8 left. would grab one before they sell out! :good:
I just saw the ad on ebay. It looks like a really good deal. Good luck with the repair
I just dropped my phone yesterday and it cracked the glass. I'm super depressed because I've had a ton of phones and was proud that I've never cracked a screen before, but alas... I'm comfortable working on electronics, and I'm looking to tackle the screen replacement myself if possible.
My questions begin here. I've discovered the glass is fused to the LCD panel so that makes it difficult to replace. Is it worth replacing the glass and keeping the screen original? Are the LCD assemblies purchased on eBay as good as the HTC version? I see that most of the LCD screens on eBay don't have Verizon branding, that makes me think they aren't really OEM so I'm worried about buying one with red buttons and the screen being sucky.
Any advice would be much appreciated, anyone who's had any experience changing the LCD please chime in with your input!

Your best bet is to buy the lcd and digitizer pressed together. I don't think it's possible to replace just the lcd, if it is its very hard.

Did you buy one that has the Verizon branding on it? I'm tempted to do it on my own, but if I do I'm also tempted to buy the LCD that has had the capacitive buttons changed to red. Those screens don't have that Verizon label though and that just makes me really nervous.
The other thing that's holding me back is that my phone is insured. If the cost to replace it is $100 or less it isn't worth buying a replacement LCD for $80 IMO. I need to head over to the Verizon Store for that answer though.

A dev over in the Rezound area decided to get a cheap China off brand digitizer for his Rezound replacement. It had faulty internals and hard bricked his phone. Sometimes that few extra dollars saves a big headache.
Also, for the record, it was his 17th time fixing that specific model of phone, so it wasn't an error on his part.

This.
It appears as though I will have to pay a $99 deductible to replace the phone. So it's not really worth spending the $80 on an OEM screen/glass assembly. I'm thinking about just waiting it out until the 28th to see if the Nexus 5 will support Verizon LTE. If it does then I'm totally buying one and that will render this phone moot. Thank you for all of your advice!

I believe its best to use your insurance rather than do it yourself because if you dive into your phone and break something else it you could void your warranty. And considering it is a $650 phone, i think its safer to use your insurance. BUT if you ship it off to places like MobileTechVideos, they place a new void sticker on it after they have reassembled it. I sent my phone there and I was pleased with my services.
Claim on the insurance is most likely what I'm going to do. After all that's what it's for! My hopes of a Verizon LTE Nexus 5 have been crushed it seems. Hopefully by year's end we will have Sense 5 coming to us OTA so I don't have to flash it. My old Droid Charge was easy to flash, this phone is more difficult it seems.

Hello all. I recently bought an LG Optimus G E970 from a friend who was switching carriers. I dropped it within the first 30 minutes and broke the digitizer. Half of it works and the LCD is in perfect condition. However i've never done a digitizer replacement. Only an LCD/Digitizer replacement which came all in one already put together. I'm wondering what type of adhesive i should use to get the digitizer to seal properly to the LCD. Something like UV LOCA? I saw one video where one guy covers the entire LCD in adhesive and one where he just puts some dabs on the corners. Quite honestly i'm confused in which way is proper.
Thanks in advance,
Ron.
