Ok I had the screen problems now for 6-8months. Cant be without my phone as most users. I mod a lot and always need to battery pull. Which as caused the problem of the 1cm dead strip which affects game play and letters WESZ on the touch keyboard.
My solution is not ideal but it works. Am not technical minded at all.
1) you need a strip of thin metal.

This is what I used. A old hard speaker cover I think this was
2) I cut it into a strip of around 0.5mm wide 1cm long
3) remove battery and place right hand side of fingerprint scanner
4) replace battery (might be a tight fit)
5) replace back cover
6) bend the strip over
Works for me screen perfect now. I can pull battery. Replace the strip. Replace the battery. Boot and screen is prefect again.
Hope this help some of you guys.
Maybe someone can find a more ideal way?

I have the same problem but this doesn't work for me.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
That works!!!!!!!!i just slightly pull the fingerprint sensor up! the dead area comes back to work!!!!!!!!amazing!!!!!
i think the problem lies in the digitizer bus connector!
I thought you were going to post something like take out your digitizer and put glue stick on it all lmao! just kidding.
So this works... let's see...
EDIT (WORKS!):
So odd... this works better than punch the phone, haha. Nah it just worked fine =), It's a workaround till my digitizer arrives, also I use the Fingerprint so this is a problem either ways lol... but
Thank you and God bless you.
EDIT 2 lol:
Did you ever try buying a new digitizer, or do you think it's some other problem? because I bought a digitizer already and it is on it's way to me.
Ill try , thanks !!!

A fat paperclip works too, but it is also unstable. In some positions it works, in other positions it doesn't.

I take battery out insert paperclip replace battery then bend paperclip over the scanner.
Battery keeps it in place,
Mine is 1mm into the scanner on the right.
Once you got it into place and stuck there your screen will be fine.

The blury parts are just some random fingerprints!
Sandpapers that were used:
1. P220 Untill whole surface is matte.
2. P600 Untill whole surface is matte.
3. P2500 (This one i used a "wet sandpaper") Untill whole surface done and no other deeper scratches from the lower papers.
4. After sandpapering a matte nice surface you use a polish liquid like "Autosol" or as meantioned in the thread "Belgum Alu".
Those are used to polishing the metal to get a "chromed" surface. This is easiest done by using a handdrill having a polish towel.
If not having a handdrill with this set, just use cotton or some else soft material to polish it. Apply and rubb!
Voila!
Stumpzy9 took of is shell and shared his experience with us, thanks!
stumpyz9 said:
Ok so if you want to take off the back for chroming purposes or what ever you will need 2 things - 1. A torx t5 screwdriver. I got mine for $4 at Sears. 2. A medium guitar pick.
Ok first, take off the 2 covers and take out the battery,similar card,etc.
Next take the guitar pick and use it to pry up the GPS cover. Take note of the screw in the corner that was hidden under the cover.
Now use the t5 to remove all of the diver screwed around the edge of the phone , there should be 4. Now take out the screw that was hidden by the Gps cover.
You can now remove the body CAREFULLY!!!!
If looking at it from the front make sure you push up and to the left so you don't break a volume button like I did lol.
Now that the back is off, remove the power button, camera lens, speaker grills, and the volume button which is held in by a piece of rubber.
Youre now done. Make sure you don't loose anything and just follow the guide backwards to replace. The pic below shows the spots where all the screws are.

Yes exactly as it says. My screen is shattered, but all touch capabilities work. Is this the just the top glass thats broken? I want to make sure I get the proper replacement parts. If the LCD is cracked how would I know? Also would you pros recommend a only having slight tech experience to do this? Lesson for the day? Dont have a fight with your significant other if you have a hot temper while on your phone.

if the screen works, the lcd is not broken. you can exchange only the glass ( its called digitizer, look at ebay).
But carefull, i didnt replaced an atrix screen, only other phones like galaxy s, and i can say: you will need a LOT of patience to disasemble the lcd from the digitizer without breaking it.

This is somthing to be carefull. Probably the digitizer will shatter when you separate it from the lcd. so try to do this, facing down the phone.
I did it on my phone, very easy just make sure you pull everything off in the description below and it will work like a charm. One piece of help I can offer is to make sure you put the double sided tape far enough up without getting it on the LCD on the bottom on the digitizer, I didn't and now I get some light from the backlights that shows at a extreme angle. I held the phone upside down when pulling of the digitizer and i used a can of air to clean it all out. Good luck.
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/motorola-atrix-4g-take-apart-repair-guide-video.html
One of the main advantages of the Atrix is that the LCD and the Digitizer are not glued together, which makes it pretty easy to replace them!
The only concern would be not to let any dust specks in between the LCD and digitizer.
BTW, check cnn dot cn for prices on oem parts!
Good luck!
Cheers!

Was able to get the phone taken apart without damaging the lcd or any other parts. However, upon inspection of the replacement, I noticed the idiots sent me a digitizer with a cable torn nearly in half. I'm so mad I could spit. And of course no phone support. So I'm stuck with my slow as a snail backflop until I get back for oregon in a week.

question about lcd
when removing the cracked glass/digitizer, got fingerprints on lcd. This is all right, right? Like I can clean it with a microfiber cloth or something?
Make sure that you properly line up the proximity sensor and the hole in the digitizer for the prox sensor. I didn't put any adhesive on the top of my digitizer when I reattached it and now I have to press the top of my screen down whenever I want to view my screen during phone calls because the proximity sensor is reading the digitizer as my face. >_<
Got the new digitizer installed. Everything except the spot where the n on the keyboard in portrait view works. I didn't use any adhesive as the screen came with adhesive on it. Should I have used some? It is lifted up above the case of the phone. Can anyone advise me as to maybe some warranty replacement now that its not shattered anymore? Like call AT&T and say that spot is dead now?

Try spraying it with cold water...
Box is very tight when removing the top cover. Be careful as the tablet is just underneath and it doesn't have much walls protecting it. So if the box was sideways as you were taking out the lid then the tablet might drop out of the box. Open the box on top of a table and keep the box leveled so the tablet cant slide out.
i have ordered a nexus and hope i can open the box quicker....

I had some initial trouble as well...you just have to keep trying to push the end of the box, while gripping the edges of the sleeve that covers it. Once you get it moving, it will slide off. Then, there are two black sealing stickers on each long side. Once you cut those, the box top is also a little tight, but you'll notice that there's room on the short edges to stick your finger underneath and pull the bottom of the box down. and voila...behold your Nexus 7.

I laughed at this thread before i got my hands on the box and the OP is right lol the box was truly a bit difficult to open compared any android device ive ever opened, gotta be rough with it!
I began with olive oil to get that 'easy open' feel. However, when that failed, I realised the answer had been there all along, advertised by Google itself: Project Butter.
Thus, I got my n7 out of the box. 2 hours later it was dead

Sorry to say, but I think the only way to do it is to take the screen assembly off. Which will require the use of a heat-gun because the screen is glued.
this part? - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/samsung-vibrant-t959-motherboard-flex-cable-replacement.html
i was able to remove it using this guide - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLUl9tlHSik
Skip to 2:40. It's not as easy as he shows. Its glued on very solid. Doesn't require a heat gun, but does require steady pulling for about 1 min. If you need help pm or reply and I can try to explain it better for you.
proof its possible - https://www.dropbox.com/s/tgekucwqz3eyf3i/2012-07-21 16.05.01.jpg from a disassembly i did last week
I got the cable in the mail and I did check the video previously but I still don't see where to lift that will not break something in the process. Where did you try to lift it up at? Seems as well the chrome surround gets in the way does that need to be removed too? Do all the parts at the botton need to be removed as well?

Undo both clips for that flex cable. Towards the bottom of your green oval on the right you have to remove that piece because part of the tray goes under it.
I put a screw driver under the bottom right screw hole you see in the picture and was able to pry the tray up. It is glued on very tight so it will be tough to get it loose but it's possible. if you pm me I'll be happy to walk you through it in a chat.

Well I tried to get it from the corner and it just lifted it from the glass the phone is ruined. Oh well if anyone wants a flex cable let me know.
If anyone else has to replace this please use a heat gun as I was under the impression that the back part and the screen were not attached in the recess, but the LCD screen is glued to this back piece. I am really sad I went from fixing a GPS and in the process breaking this cable doing something wrong then ruining the entire phone after...sigh. It is my own fault and I blame no one else but please take extra caution.I was really tempted to just tape this on the back where the battery is located and say the hell with it since it was my " fun phone" but now that is a pipe dream.
Does anyone need Vibrant parts? You pay shipping anything is yours. Motherboard, Case I have a few batteries and one Anker Extended. I give up the phone is dead and gone and I am just going to throw these parts away if no one wants them.
I was looking to do this same repair on my Vibrant as my vibrating motor no longer works and the mic has gone bad (people say it sounds fuzzy/robotic and distant and can barely understand me even with 5 bars of signal). This scares me off though. I don't want to ruin the phone.
So how do you do this repair without ruining it? How does it connect to the motherboard and the screen?
Just realized that the part I need replaced is actually the keypad flex cable with the vibrating motor and mic attached, which is at the bottom. It requires taking it all the way down to the screen. Ugh.

Guys, you know there are 4 external parts.
Rear cover
Mid plate
Glass
S pen
The bezel you're referring to can be replaced for about £10/$15, with no skills and standard phone dismantling tools (which are often included in your purchase of spare parts).
This is why I don't use a case, and why I think people with aluminium phones are idiots. I've bought my replacement mid-plate (bezel if u like) and rear cover all ready for the day I eBay it, or if it gets too knocked up to look at.
Rejoice in your plastic, and don't spend £10+ on a case if the only reason you want it is to protect the plastic...
Did your note's edges hit the floor?If it did then it sure is a miracle:good:
*spen, front speaker grill, home button, camera and flash
For those pedantic few, I originally left out the bits which I think you can get away if scratched.

Do not try this with iPhone.
cracked screen
After like dropping the phone a thousand times (yes, quite sometimes while being drunk) the outer plastic frame has some scratches, and the top right corner has two cracks right abovethe front camera (which still works like a charm). Not so bad
lucky. i have dropped my phone so many times..
aaand she's still pretty from the inside.
