My LCD got all cracked up in my pocket so I needed a new LCD.
I ordered the LCD from blackberry8100parts and it got within a week. I installed it today and it works like new. I video tapped parts of me tearing apart my wing to put on youtube.. It's easy do take apart if you take your time with it. I didn't get the plastic opening tool they said it was suppose to come with but I had one at work.. It's not necessary if you just run a small precision flathead around the seams after removing the screws.
Thanks for the link.. they had the cheapest LCD I could find on the net.

defective screen try send it back for new one
I cracked my LCD. I purchased a new one from seller LCD4PDA. I got the screen for $61 shipped after $5 Ebay Coupon. I used the tools and instructions included, and also the Herald/Wing Service Manual to assist in the process. It took a little time, I was being very cautious not to break anything. I would highly recommend disassembling/assembling the phone two times just to get a feel for it first. It's not too hard though, and the screen works great!
sorry to push that older thread, but i also have a cracked TFT-screen. does anybody know where to get a replacement TFT with touchscreen in germany?
or europe with less shipping costs?
thanks in advance!
www.blackberry8100parts.com
these guys are good but i noticed the screen they sent me has developed a dent in the middle where i guess the screen is used the most. like a contour in the middle.
the reason i think its the "type" of screen they sent me is because i haven't had this problem with any other screens that I've had for longer.
i cracked my wing's screen and when it cracked it also cracked the touch screen part does anyone know a good site with reasonable prices?...i was gonna send it to HTC but they asked 150 nd thats way too much
my touchscreen got cracked, i ordered a new digitizer for 12 euros, this was including shipping.
does anyone have experience with replacin the digitizer apart from taking the complete lcd out?
you tube link
i followed this tutorial and it went very easy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN6cKRM2F1M
ty, thats the one i used
unfortunately it only replaces the lcd screen and not remove the digitizer from it. But it helped me almost all the way
now that i have my lcdscreen seperated from my digitizer i found out the connector is different so im stuck anyway..

That is just for the digitizer part, not for the whole screen, like how they worded the listing, you can tell because you can see through the screen. most times the digitizer is fine but the lcd below is cracked and has to be replaced
So i've been an Atrix owner for about 2 weeks now and my worst nightmare happend today. I was buying a drink from a vending machine and the phone slipped out of my pocket and fell SCREEN FIRST onto concrete.
I quickly picked it up and noticed THERE WAS A HUGE CRACK in the screen!
I AM SO SAD RIGHT NOW cause i bought the atrix outright from AT&T
i dont think the LCD panel itself was damaged but the glass on the surface only. The display looks perfectly fine still so i was curious if anyone knows how to switch out the glass part? What tools do i need?
I found this one ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Motorola-MB860-...838?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item588d7db4fe
is this the right part?
or do i have to buy the entire LCD, cause its much more expensive:
http://cgi.ebay.com/AT-T-MOTOROLA-A...507?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33666a4883
also, does anyone know any reputable sellers that sell LEGIT parts such as the digitizer? I'm not sure if i can trust these random ebay sellers...any suggestions would be appreciated
i attached some pictures to show you what happend - i still can't believe it happend
i'm also really surpirsed the gorilla glass broke so easily. The drop was at MOST 1.5 feet..

Yea, thats not a bad deal. You could use DealExtreme though if you wanted. But this seems like a good deal.

Also, if you don't have the tools you might want this kit.

It's about the same price and those are both going to ship from Hong Kong. So expect a wait. I didn't find any sellers in the U.S.
There are some that would ship from the U.S. without tools but the price is more like fifty bones instead of 30 something.
Good Luck

Nah, they are more than capable. I replace digitizers frequently and I rarely have to break out my "good set' of tools. Yeah these are simply cheap lumps of plastic. But they work. And these tools should be safer to use than almost anything that the average person, who doesn't do this sort of thing regularly, might have on hand. I just didn't want him to order a digitizer and attack it with a butterknife. I was trying to be subtle about it tho... We don't want anyone to scuff their bezel now do we?
I am always on the lookout for great deals on tools for this. And I look forward to your recommendation for a tool set.

Warranty covers a broken screen? Reason I ask is because I would rather have MOTO replace the screen (or the phone entirely) than me replacing the screen and voiding the warranty. I do not have insurance
I broke the glass on my phone 3 weeks after I bought it and didnt have insurance on it. I called motorola and they sent me an rma. I sent it in and they sent it back to me fixed in less than a week. If I remember right it cost $90 for them to fix it.
so it was only the digitizer after all?

A friend and I splurged on the $60 iFixit tool kit because we made some spare cash on the side repairing classmates' phones. It works well, although I still don't know if I would justify the price. It seems that the major complaint on reviews for replacement electronics parts are the parts that come with them, if at all, so maybe getting a better set is worth it if you replace digitizers frequently. Replacing the Atrix digitizer/screen is a fairly easy task compared to other phones until you get to putting the new screen on, at which point trying to get the cables back into the housing becomes a pain.'
Good luck!

Ugh I'm going to have to do this. My digi. Is farked as well. Now, is there a video to put this back together?. I agree that taking it apart is not the hard part at all.
iFixit will have a tear down guide.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
Surprisingly there is no video to put it together...
Let me tell you from experience that it's damn near impossible to put it back together without tearing the digitizer ribbon straight off the screen while trying to slip it through that tiny hole that you pulled it out of. I've replaced two screens and I still don't think I can get it right.
My screen cracked twice while still under warranty, so I played the clueless n00b after I replaced the glass (cracked screens are not covered under warranty) and claimed the phone wasn't working and I couldn't figure out why.
Strange thing is, I also couldn't find a place online that would do replacement digitizers either. I didn't look for long, but if you don't have an option of a warranty return, I'd pay the $50 or so to let someone else do this for you and get it right...
YMMV...
I recommend taking it apart completely, you can attach the digitizer to the bezel/chassis and then you don't have to deal with trying to slide the cable through that tiny hole, you can just clean the digitizer, clean the lcd, put them together and then put the entire mounting plate back together and it just clips straight in...essentially you make this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180835204777?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
completely removes the chance of tearing the cable off the back of the digitizer...which is pretty common, sort of adds the step of getting the mounting plate off the fascia bezel...but its not to hard, be careful when popping up the volume/buttons camera cable area, that cable tears easily.
Dropped my Atrix before i got me a casing for it.
I want to know how is the quality of the replacements glass wise is it still gorilla glass or?
I got my screen replaced at youbreak Ifix. The screen is identical, just be careful that it gets seated well or you will get a lot of dust under the screen..drives me crazy!

If you haven't already bought one take a look at this at ebay,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Motorol...052?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc340bee4 .
It is the digitizer and frame assembly. I just bought one of these for mine and I gotta say that I could not be any happier. For one it is OEM. Another I didn't have to seperate the frame from the glass or mess with glue tape. It is a b!tch connecting the ribbon cable back to the mainboard. But other than that it is an easy repair.
Oh, it looks absolutely brand spankin' new.
i replaced my digitizer with a part i got from amazon, big mistake, it was so much worse, looked identical but was just aweful, luckily moto replaced it for free as now i didnt have a broken screen it was still under warranty! good as new now.
edit: also looking at that post above, if you are going to do it yourself having it come with the frame would be great as mine didnt, so i had to use a hairdrier to heat up the glue holding the digitizer to the frame, real PITA
Yeah you're right ears1991, it was nice and easy not having to worry with separating the glass from the frame and then reattaching the new one. My phone looks better than ever. On the very first day that I ever owned it I handed it to my 24 year old son and he immediately dropped it. It put a nice gouge it the glass so until now I have never really had an Atrix that looked new.

DONT USE REPAIR UNIVERSE! Horrible customer service, no phone support, slow ass shipping even tho I paid extra for next day (got it in same time as regular shipping) and gave me the run around when they sent me a defective digitizer first time. Took me nearly a month from order to get what i paid for and only after I threatened to notify BBB of their horrible service.

I watched this video and only needed a small phillips screwdriver and a prytool. I haven't found a video where they show it going back together... Just reverse the steps and you'll be ok. The only hard part was getting one of the ribbon cables back in place. And I gotta say that cable was a b!tch. But I have large fingers and I still got it. So if you have some degree of patience and aren't afraid of messing with tiny stuff go for it.
thanks a lot. i just ordered from the person you suggested from eBay. ill give an update when it comes on Thursday and I replace it.
Cool, I just took my daughters apart, it is dead. I thought that maybe if I disconnected and reconnected the mainboard that maybe it would help. No dice. But I did find that using a pair of locking forceps helped a lot with the cables. Actually it was really, really easy. So if you have a pair, or know someone who works at a hospital that can get a pair, it is worth the trouble. Good Luck.
i just fixed, worked like a charm. and you were right, those damn ribbon cables were a pain. i can finally type regular letters again. lol.
That's great. Was yours pretty much new looking? Mine looks great, there are two tiny dimples on the upper bezel but they aren't easy to see. It's still a 9/10.
so i cracked my screen :crying: does anyone know the most inexpensive and efficient way to fix this? replacement screen? cheap replacement phone? something, i don't want to go through the insurance for $100 anybody, suggestions?

What do you mean by that? Did you crack only the LCD display under the glass or did you crack the whole front part of the glass that goes over the LCD display?
If it is only the LCD screen UNDER the glass that is cracked, you can replace it yourself. http://www.amazon.com/Sprint-Screen-Display-Mobile-Replacement/dp/B0084C4O4Y
If you cracked the whole darn top part, then you are SOL, since there is no parts of this available yet.
Isn't this why we pay for TEP monthly?

The One X digitizer will not work as that screen has curved edges, whereas ours is flat throughout.
If you're already paying for insurance you should pay the deductible and trade it in. You'll spend money to get a replacement part anyway, plus your time and you might not be able to do it well or at all. You're actually getting the best deal since you've only spent one month's worth of TEP premiums.

I had to replace the digitizer on my Evo 3D. It also required removing the LCD. While it was cool to do and an awesome experience, IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!!!
The digitizer never quite sat right back in the phone right. 1" of the right side of the screen was not responsive. This was either a bad, cheap digitizer from eBay or I screwed something up. The only reason I did this was because I had three weeks to go before the Evo 4G LTE was coming out and Sprint wouldn't repair it. I also had a spare cheap Android phone I activated until the 4G LTE was released.
I found both of these companies will let you ship the phone to them and will repair the device professionally. Might want to look into it. I would use either if I did it again.
http://www.irepairfast.com/ doesn't list the Evo 4G LTE yet, but they do have a place you can ask about it. Since they repair the One X, it might be possible.
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/repair-service.html seems to do this as well. The cost looks to be about $25.00 above the repair part costs (at least for the device in the linked page). They also don't mention the Evo 4G LTE, but I would contact them as well.
I would expect to spend about $100. That said, that is way cheaper than TEP or a new phone.
Good luck!
finding the part
Has anyone found anyone that actually stocks the digitizer for the EVO 4G LTE? I don't need the LCD, just the digitizer by itself. I found it on durapowerglobal.com, but they have it listed as Backordered and have told me they haven't got any yet and it will be "a while" before they have some in stock.
I wonder if it's just too early in the phone's lifecycle to be on the radar for some of these repair parts vendors. If enough of us start bugging them then maybe they'll work on getting stock sooner!! I already sent an inquiry to the irepairfast.com site to see if they had a time frame for availability.
Wont they replace a screen for like $35 at the Sprint repair shops?? And fyi I think your deductible would be $150 not $100. TEP increased their rates...
I tried to get Sprint to repair the screen on my Evo 3D. They flat out refuse unless you have TEP. Unfortunately.
I highly recommend you contact those repair companies and ask when they can fix it. One of the does custom jobs I think. An email to them can't hurt.

I shattered my screen yesterday, and when I went in to have them fix it, they turned me away, too.
They said it's "physical damage" and that they don't do those kinds of repairs. They told me they'd replace the phone for $150 (TEP), so I told them I'd do it myself. Now it looks like I'm stuck with a broken screen for a while....

I just received the part this week from durapowerglobal. It was back ordered for a few weeks, but they communicated with me during the wait and it looks like it's going to do the trick. I hope to take on the project tonight of replacing it. I hope this is a $30 fix and there are no surprises during or after the install!!!

Dropped mine on it's face a little over a week ago. Thank God I had TEP. Called, and only paid $100 and they sent me a brand new one overnight. The only problem I had was that it came brand new, but with all the new software updates, so I couldn't root it. But at least I'm not shaving my face with my phone while using it.

Wont they replace a screen for like $35 at the Sprint repair shops?? And fyi I think your deductible would be $150 not $100. TEP increased their rates...

Here's what I can say about that. I took it to 3 different corporate stores in my area, and 2 third-party repair centers. None of them could even touch the phone in the condition mine was in (see above). Was forced to go through Asurion for a replacement, and for some reason only paid $100 for my deductible.
Hello all,
Got my S3 a couple of weeks ago and dropped it onto a wood floor on Friday with no case on it (been waiting for mine to arrive from Amazon ). The device seems to be absolutely fine apart from a very small scratch on the top left of the screen. I've been trying to live with it but it's really annoying me and would be more than happy to pay to get it fixed if it doesn't cost absolutely silly money.
Is it possible just to have just the glass replaced or will I have to shell out for the glass and the digitiser etc as well? Has anyone else had their S3 screen repaired?
Thanks
Replacing the S3 screens are pricey, I'd stick with the scratch until you do some serious damage.
It is inevitable the phone will get scratched at one point so I find it hard to believe someone would pay to have a whole screen replaced based on one scratch, you must be crazy!
If the scratch is that annoying get a decent screen protector and you won't be able to see it.
It would be very expensive. The front plate, digitizer, and amoled screen are bonded in one piece and the assembly is sold at ~US$200 in Ebay.
check out this thread .... its a must read for all s3 users with damaged glass ...

I'm not sure, it looks like the front plate and the digitizer are totally inseparable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es8gezSdKv4.
Good luck to OP anyway.

Just read, and see that you are about to do the same. Good luck to you as well.
Yet I think the person in the video didn't peel off just the glass but the glass together with the digitizer, which is slightly tinted as seen in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es8gezSdKv4.
The cheapest and best solution is to use a mirror screen protector. It will hide your scratch when phone is off.
When Screen on you will not notice it.
I'm sure I have read a thread where someone got it replaced at car phone warehouse for £80ish, not sure how true that is as it does seem very cheap for the job. Worst you can do is ring them and ask for a quote and them tell you this ain't true.
I have insurance which would cost me £25 excess through my bank so not really looked into costs of getting things replaced, but I have taken apart a lot of phones in the past and they are getting much harder to replace things like glass on its own. As said above it would have to have digitizer, which is pretty costly to purchase.

you can buy the unit for £150 and follow a youtube video on how to replace, or pay between £175-£225 for a full repair.
I took mine to a Samsung repair centre on a Saturday and had it fixed within 30min, paid £215 but just wanted it done.
The glass and the digiizer are glued together so the whole unit would have to be changed.

Hi
If the screen still functions and the touch is working properly you can just change the glass face but you will have to be real careful as doing it yourself without the right equipment is risky and you can end up without a screen working at all. the whole screen that is currently on the phone will be completely sealed to the phone so it is a slow process to remove it and you can end up pulling the digitizer off the lcd and again this is not fixable if this happens.
also the finish will not be as good as the original without the right type of liquid glue to go back between the glass and digitizer.
at the end of the day you are better off sending it to someone who does it a lot and has all of the gear to do it, as you will get a better finish at the end.
