Hi today i just cracked my 2 days old n7100, the crack wasn't bad but it's definitely visible.
I'm not planning to send it to a shop to repair the screen cuz it's just too expensive.
I want to replace the screen by myself. So i just wanna ask you guys, is it possible to just replace the glass screen and not the whole thing?
Because the screen and digitizer is working fine. Just some visible hairline crack on the device itself.
So, can i just disassemble and replace the glass screen ?
Thanks guys!
You can replace glass only . its a bit annoying job but it possible... Patience ... And only patience. Here is video for s3 glass replacement . Note2 the same way. Glass you can buy from eBay for 20-30$.

You will be better off replacing the whole glass digitizer and lcd as its more difficult to replace just the glass also base on my experience with replacing the glass, it may pop up after sometime as with my HTC phone. Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxgZeb5QytM and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=qhd5KwgopZo&NR=1 Good luck
N7100 screen replacement! PLEASE HELP
i think i'd rather buy the whole lcd + digitizer from what i know it's easier to replace since i don't have to seperate the digitizer with the adhesive

Hi guys, I've just ordered a replacement housing for my girlfriends xperia play (she smashed it to pieces but the screen is fine!) just wondering if I can reuse the touch screen digitizer or if I'm better off buying a new digitizer as well? Thanks

I had just replaced my digitizer not too long ago. If your glass is broken, you'll need to order a new digitizer with the housing since it's glued to the glass. You shouldn't have too much difficulty replacing it. Good luck!
Use your old back that holds the battery taking off the antenn And speakers and whatnot is way hard

Just had someone bring me a Galaxy Note 2 to repair and they bought the replacement part off ebay. However all they have got is just a front piece of glass with no digitizer attached, is this correct? Normally im used to front screens having the digitizer attached or is it easy to detach from the broken old screen
Is there a guide anywhere for this?
There's a few threads on this around, but as far as I know, you need to use a heat gun to remove the glue on the digitizer.

no way mate. don't bother to anything with that cheapo. glass is always attached to the digitizer. they bought the cheapest thing they found.
i have found over the years that saving some money is not the best choice in comparison to user experience or other arising problems.

this is cheaper than ebay which they ask for 166 pounds
Yeah, heat gun will melt the adhesive enough to separate the lcd. But its a very, very difficult process that will more likely than not end up with a damaged lcd or poor reseal.

mariosraptor is right. Glass is always sold with digitizer (it is one item). I haven't heard about clean glass without capacitive layer. You can buy either digitizer glass or complete digitizer glass with factory glued LCD module. This one's more expensive, but you have less work with replacing.
Anyway: buying only digitizer glass for this kind of phones (Note 2, S3, iPhone 4<, newer HTCs...) is waste of time and nerves. It is nearly impossible to separate LCD from digitizer. Buying complete set of digitizer & LCD is the best what you can do for your phone.
Yeah i didn't think the glass came seperate from the digitizer, i have repaired over 400 iphones and have done about 20 galaxy s2 and s3's and never have i seen just the piece of glass without a digitizer on it, i will tell the woman she needs a whole new screen, i think she did go for the cheapest option
This is actually what she ordered:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Gray-...s=63&clkid=5413496726471672632&_qi=RTM1319883
It obviously doesn't have flex, so it is only pure glass. I don't understand, why would any serious seller offer this kind of items.
Hello Everyone , I am using lg g pro , My screen bottom is not responding to my touch , I cant even unlock my phone . Kindly help me , I did factory reset but nothing happened someone told me that it is software issue but I dont know how to install custom rom , Hope you will help me :crying:
My guess is touch screen part is going bad. Called a digitizer

Is there any way to fix it ?
One way to fix the digitizer glass is physically replace the glass with a new one. Here is the thread that shows how to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333520
Read the first post, and buy the glass from the repairsuniverse.com if you do decide to do it yourself. Many of us has replaced the digitizer glass before since it cracks so easily.

Oh Thanks.
Hi guys
Had to get my glass replaced by samsung and had to purchase glass and digitizer as one unit. Its back to normal and samsung returned my original unit with cracked glass..however the digitizer and screen worked fine.
Seen yourube videos on how to remove the glass. Do you think its worth salvaging/selling the digitzer and screen?
There is no mainboard parts etc..
..just digitizer/screen only
Thx
Hey guys, good day.
My HTC Desire Eye screen cracked (I accidentally dropped it) and it really looks horrible. I am planning to replace the screen myself, and I am asking if anyone repaired their phone by themselves as well. I'll be buying the parts needed in eBay. I am also wondering if I can only replace the glass and not with the LCD? The LCD screen still looks impeccable despite the cracked glass and touch works perfectly. However, I am yet to find a tutorial that shows replacement of the glass module only.
Thank you very much in advance.

U can find tutorial on YouTube. And yes you have to replace entire screen not just the glass.
My advice is get it replaced from a expert. It doesn't cost much. Also buy original screen don't get a bad one.
