Dear all,
Thank you for all the stuff you are sharing right here, that's really great.
I 'm quite sad because a few days ago, my tab felt the glass is badly broken .
Hopefully, the LCD and the touch screen are ok.
Gorilla glass is not that unbeatable so take care of your tabs guys.
I'm searching for a replacement part but as we are kind of early adopters, it's really hard to find ( I tried Alibaba & eBay).
If anyone know where I can find a new replacement front glass for my galaxy tab I would really appreciate to have a link.
Thanks in advance
You have a one year warranty. Call samsung.

Samsung can't do anything if it is physical damage. It's in the manual. That's what insurance is for. Or, if you purchase with Amex, they will refund you after proper paper work.

Hi everyone, after 18mths my HTC Touch (Elf) touchscreen has stopped working! I did a soft reset and hard reset, but now in the hard reset it asks me to touch the screen to setup Windows Mobile, however I cannot do it as the screen does not work!
There is no cracks or even scratches as I use the screen protector. I have been reading about LCD's & Digitilizers, but cannot work out which one I need..
Can someone please help me. I want to buy a kit off eBay to repair it but not sure exactly what I need.
Any help will be great!
Do you guys think US$200 is a good price for a HTC Touch Duel with no scratches, as new ? I can buy one for this price, but have never used a dual, and would love my original htc touch to be fixed...
About mine:
- 18mths Old
- No scratches or damage
- Slight corrosion on the plastic where sim card etc goes, not internally but just on the mirror type plastic there is slight green corrosion but it can clean off easily.
- never been in water or anything like that!
Touch screen does not respond to touches anymore, this happened over about 2wks.. it started to not work now and again, then it switched off automatically a couple of times over that period... now it is not responding at all for about 10 days now!
I took to vodaphone and it is out of warranty, I am insured, but it is a load of bullcrap to get insurance, and even if you do you still need to pay a premium of between $150-$275 (AU$) so i might aswell either juszt pay to get it fixed or do it myself.
Cancelling Insurance on this phone ASAP, never getting insurance ever again, only for the first 12mths if phone is over $1000
insurance is lame, and only benefits if phone is lost or stolen.
cheers any1 that can assist me!
You need a digitizer, about $20 from eBay, easy to replace, just see Service Manual for HTC Touch. Better still if you'll get the entire front faceplate with digitizer already attached, simply because it makes your life a lot easier, all you'll need to do it connect the digitizer and assemble the unit.
thankx so much enigma1nz, i was thinking only the digitalizer was needed, but what is the diff between the lcd & digitalizer? I mean in functions etc.
thanku so much for ur time.
I will be ordering the replacement peices, do you think I should do myself or take to a repairer. I am tech savvy, I build PC's, replace RAM etc.. so it should be easy, yea?
cheers

LCD is the screen itself, it shows the information, digitizer is responsible for the touch function. It is relatively easy to replace, simply because the design of the device allows for direct connection with no soldering involved. There is a service manual with photos floating around somewhere, I think even on this forum. Just search for it.
Thanks Enigma1NZ, I actually got a pdf of the dissasemble guide for the htc touch, so should be perfect, I just ordered a digitizer off eBay for only AU$13.60 inc. delivery, so that is awesome!
I got a call from my insurance company today, they want $175 excess if the phone is 'approved' for insurance, plus they kill the imei number too, i told her not to worry and I'm cancelling insurance (already paid $180 all up).... damn rip off, maybe okay while in warranty, but otherwise I will not be making that mistake again!
I will keep ya'll updated, and will be videoing me pulling apart & replacing so I will upload it 4 others too.
P.S enigma, love ur photos posted in myspace.. nice work
I love Touch for the simplicity and straightforwardness of its build, I was surprised the housing was so easy and reasonably cheap to replace (I am thinking of getting mine in red...or purple...). The worst digitizer replacement has to be for 1-gen Iphone and LG Prada. Blasted capacitive screens are the way of the future though and are pleasure to use.
Thanks, i got you added. Let us know how you went. Insurance companies are a bloody rip-off artists playing on our insecurities. I deal with them often when it comes to repairs. Makes no sense to insure after a warranty period simply due to technology depreciaton - you end up paying more in excess than the device is worth at the time.
Yeah the phone looks fairly simple in its housing, I have played around with it a bit... I was actually seriously thinking about replacing my housing while I was in there to white, since I saw the Magic I love the whiteness! I would love a silver housing though, that is the ultimate but have only found white so far.
I will keep you'all updated here with photos 'n video with what I do change.
I was going to buy a prada actually, I think the screen and whole look is amazing, It was tempting but I am very satisfied I chose my touch over the Motorola Razr, Prada and Touch... Touch wins
Cheers again enigma1nz.
I heard LG screens lose sensitivity over time.
Hi, a friend of mine talked to me yesterday about his touch. It seems he has the same problem of the digitizer stoping to work.
Where can I find the service manual and do you know of a good place to buy the digitier?
Tanks!

There's a sticky topic at the top of this forum with several service manuals that you can use. As for buying the digitizer, ebay and dealextreme.com have them for cheap.

Hi... I need your help, I need to change my digitizer, so I want to know you ordered only digitizer or one already fixed on casing as Enigma told you ??
Pls let me know..Thanks
Get a Digitizer and fix em on.
Hiya guys.
Ive just found my precious 614c with a rather nasty crack in it after my toddler got her hands on it, the crack is on the right side, it looks like it was bitten, and it's caused about 5 cracks in the screen. i only bought the damned thing in march - but what do you suggest? there is no other damage to the machine at all that i can see, just the screen is broken.
Advice / tips would be very much appreciated.

Pretty sure warranty does not cover screen damage
http://www.ipaqrepair.co.uk/ipaqpart1421.html
seems like its a hard repair. Unless your good with soldering.
sadly it is the LCD itself its bleeding badly into the display - i think i'm screwed aren't i
I shudder to think how much it will cost to repair from HP; though i will enquire before looking into repairing it myself.
if you have anything else i could try i'd really appreciate it. i'm away to a foreign country for a long time in june and it looks like i'm screwed now without this phone
Scrat
ask at HP, some models are covered by a special warranty. I had broken my screen too and HP exchanged my broken phone with a new one for free.
you can buy the lcd and screen dgitizer and repair it yourself. I had this same problem and managed to buy it and repair using very detailed step by step guides all from this site:
http://www.repairhppda.com/lcd-with-touch-digitizer-for-610-series-p-523.html
all up costing under $100 delivered.

This is a good offer too:

Does anyone know where to get a replacement screen for the Streak. I know the LCD screen is bonded to the front glass for extra strength, so I will have to replace both. I contacted Dell and they said I would have to buy a whole new device because they don't offer repairs for the device.
Any help would be great.
For now your best bet is to keep your eyes open for a faulty Streak for sale. Over the coming months you'll find screens etc become available from China.
Thanks for the response. I was afraid this was the case. At least my streak is still useable as just the front glass broke. Nothing like trying to read between the cracks in the glass lol. Thanks though.
I have seen 2 or 3 floating around on Ebay, Screens that is.
Called Dell a second time today and they told me no managers were available to talk to me. They insured me that they are working on repair options for the device though. Made me feel much better HA HA
Guess I'll have to wait a while and deal with the cracks. Thanks to all who replied.
So today a fan fell over onto my dresser where my Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Google IO was charging and cracked the lower right hand side of the screen. Has anyone else had their screen crack and fixed it or talked to Samsung about it? It seems to still be working, but still, the screen is cracked.
And this happens today, while my case is set to be delivered tomorrow. Damn it.
Try to blame it on this

Did you buy accidental damage warranty..worth the money than having to go through repairing and risking more damage. Hopefully you get it fixed

cracked and shattered samsung galaxy tab 10.1v screen
Hi all
My galaxy Tab 10.1v screen cracked I need to have this repaired i contacted Samsungand they refered me back to the shop I bought it in I but it at a departure lounge. Guys I need this fixed I need to DHL it to someone and i am ready to cover all costs please guys advice me on way forward.
Try this http://www.missionrepair.com/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10_1_s/688.htm
Could be expensive though as replacing the 7" GTab screen costs $180 (yeah I know.. might as well buy a new one or do it yourself). Don't see any digitizer part on ebay yet.

If you purchased it using a credit card many cards will cover accidental damage for 90 days. Check with your credit card company as there are limitations.

How much did they charge you for the screen? Did you replace it yourself? I broke mine today and am looking for a OEM replacement.
Hey guys,
I recently got the S4 from tmobile, about 3 and a half weeks ago, and today I dropped it from about 3.5 feet and the almoled screen inside cracked. I am really pissed off and really freaking out because it really is an expensive phone and I am unsure of what to do. It's not the gorilla glass, the the almoled inside. Is there anyway to replace that myself, or send it to samsung for repair?

bad luck

You should send it in for repair at a Samsung service centre. The phone is new on the market. Genuine parts may be hard to come by for you to do it yourself.
By the way... was the body damaged ? Was it in a case ?
