Hi Guys,
i think the most of you know, that the Z2 has a really poor glass quality. (My phone fell down from about 30 CM to a carpet and the screen had a little crack and the touchscreen didn't work. (Insurance of my friend payed for this, because he has thrown it down)
The costs for the repair were 200 €!
Now i found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Orig-Sony-XP...zer_Ersatzteile_Werkzeuge&hash=item3a9f2231e3
It was sold 53 times, but i thought you can't replace only the glass?
Or is it possible?
No, dont try it, I already bought one of them but at the end I experienced that the glass and lcd display is sticked to each other and not seperable.
I had to buy another one with lcd+glass and was able to fix.
They are selling but its a fault, we do not have factories to combine those glasses with lcd. They are cheating, be careful.
It‘s a incell screen so can't be separated
Glass and screen are seperate on Z2 from what i saw when i disasembled my phone.

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?

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.
A few weeks ago, whilst changing a flat tire, I broke the LCD screen of my beloved X10 Mini Pro. After no useful response from SE, i decided to do the repairs myself. It turned out quite easy to do. For those that might need a hand in replacing the Front cover digitizer and/or the LCD screen, I put up some pictures of the procedure on my Picasa account:http://picasaweb.google.com/116771174771089812262/X10MiniProScreenRepair?feat=directlink.
The Digitizer and LCD screen is available on Ebay by many different vendors.
All in all for about $50 dollars a replacement LCD screen. If u have a broken screen u might consider doing it yourself, as it was very easy and took about 30 minutes.
Thank you!
I plan to do this someday, of all my phones the X10's plastic gets scratched the easiest!
I always keep the phone in my pocket by itself, and somehow all the edges of the front screen have micro scratches on all sides.
Hi
i would like to ask you about the quality of the new digitizer is it the same as the original or not as responsive.?
thanks
I replaced the LCD screen only, not the digitizer, so I can't answer your question.
However I think if u replaced it with another it would be as good as any other new one? The screen I replaced was as good in any case...
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Thanks a lot. For 50 $ i bought lcd screen AND digitizer on ebay. Good quality. And it took me 20 minutes with your help.
Can u tell me how to change the rear speaker
I happen to smash the touchscreen glass. Everything is still working: touchscreen with multi-touch, the video screen is not damaged at all. It is just the top glass.
Any suggestions where to get the replacement and how to replace it?

Try Viewsonic customer service
or... buy another one and take the gla... nevermind.
So this confirms the answer to my post about whether it is plastic or glass? The Rain X poster said that screen was "plastic" but I thought it was glass....
Might be a slip of the keyboard. It sure pings like plastic. Maybe the original poster has a photo?

I should have used "plasticky" I don't know if the touch-panel substrate is polycarbonate or tempered glass/pyrex. My tooth test says probably some sort of glass but it's weirder than regular glass... sort of like a clear version of those unbreakable corel plates (tap your tooth onto the surface - you'll get what I mean). The plastic surface I was referring to in the Rain-X thread is the thin UV cured hard film surface that protects the flexible touch detection layers just below. Think of it as fancy thin clearcoat. I should have worded it more carefully (but it was the middle of the night and my brain had already shut down)
Broken glass
Here are some pictures pictures. There are some glass (ish?) particles under the screenprotecttor
Here are some more pictures of the broken glass
another batch of broken glass.
By the way Viewsonic was not able to help, nobody there was able to name any place to get the replacement screen to be installed myself or any service facility.
You can try to some chinese sites that sell zpad. They may also sell just the screen. I have seen some sites selling the screen for the gpad (the ipad clone) such as pandawill.com
Could not find any link to digitizer glass on pandawill.com or aliexpress .
Just for curiosity, how hard did the hit was; it would be intresting to know how durable our really g-pad are.
BTW: I am sorry about the screen.
I cracked my screen too... it's on the corner but it still works. But I rather get it repaired/replaced. I have yet to find any replacement screen online.. It's driving me nuts.
Go upstream
If VS can't help, try asking the integrator (Malata) or the touch-panel manufacturer (Sintek Photronics). Some contact info:
Malata: http://www.malata.com/en/Contactus.aspx
Sintek Photronics: http://www.sintek.com.tw/p1_8-english.htm
Not to durable.

I cracked my screen in the corner as well. I dropped the tab from about a foot onto a pillow, it fell off the pillow about an inch or two and the screen glass looks like I took a hammer to it. I could have been more careful for sure, but I have dropped electronics much, much harder and nothing. When it hit the floor I kept walking cause I thought it was nothing, when I looked at it in the morning it was FUBAR. If I can fix this I will certainly post details on how to fix it.
Touch screen
I broke mine too and got a replacement from Pandawill for $12, problem was the Post office managet to break it.
do you have a link to how/where you got the replacement screen?

I need a replacement as well. I also looed at pandawill and only saw replacements for Ipad. PLEASE help me! Everything still works on mine but my glass incompletely shattered.
My Nokia Lumia 920 Glass shattered after it was dropped from 2.5 feet, it landed on the glass and shattered, the touch is working fine and the display is also fine, no leaks and displays everything properly. When I took the phone to Nokia Care they informed that the whole glass, digitizer and LCD has to be changed even though the latter two were working fine and asked me around Rs.15000 (approx 280 USD) to fix it. Is it possible just to replace the glass. I recently ordered a digitizer in ebay and it was shown with glass and when I received the package it just had the digitizer without the glass and it didnt look like OEM at all. Am planning just to order the glass and use my existing Nokia digitizer that came with the phone if there is a way to separate the digitizer and shattered glass. Please let me know what I will require to fix.

I broke mine recently too and after calling several local phone repair places (got similar quotes), I was convinced that the best bet was to order the whole screen assembly (including the LCD, digitizer and flexible key ribbon) and then do it myself. the assembly cost me just under $100 and was easy to replace with the help of the video on ifixit (here).
You can do just the digitizer, but its risky. The digitizer (the glass) is adheared to the LCD screen, and as I learned with my HD2, its very easy to ruin the LCD when separating the two. Within the guide posted above, there is a seperate guide for doing this (the link appears at about the 17:50 mark), you just have to be very very careful.
One last tip! The flex ribbon for the volume, power, and camera keys is very fragile and can easily tear when you're assembling/disassembling. I ended up ruining the original one when disassembling, then despite being extra careful, ruined the one on the new screen when reassembling, then had to wait a week for another new ribbon that I ordered off ebay. Watch out for the little plastic nub on the inside of the casing by the camera button. It sticks straight out towards the key ribbon and cuts it like a knife. That's what ended up tearing mine both times.
Good luck!

XDA doesn't have a specific forum for the 1520 and XDA needs one. I bought my wife a 1520 and dropped it the first day (slippery case). Broke the glass in two corners and really doesn't effect anything and you can barely see the cracks. But, I too would like to replace it. Haven't tried to get an estimate and I am very capable of replacing myself. I have the insurance but that will cost $200.
Ideas or suggestions, other than don't drop your phone!
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......
