How to tell if you have an adhesive or screw problem - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway to tell if I have a screw issue or an
adhesive issue with the screen lift? Thanks

I'm not a 100% on this but I believe the problems are the same. If you have screen lift then the screws came loose because the glue didn't hold in the heat or was never put on in the first place. I'm on nexus 7 #9..

The beginning of screen separation issues?

Sorry if this has already been asked but I wasn't able to find it after a few minutes of searching.
I got my Nexus 7 today and the screen seems to be making cracking noises as if it's not in place all the way. Is this me just being paranoid after reading so much about the screen issues or is this an omen?
Thanks in advance!

Left hand side towards middle/top?
Welcome to the club. Solved mine by clamping slacks hangers against the side..
many other fixes around the forum here.

Yea I've seen the solutions, but I'd rather just send it back if there is an issue. Rooting I have no problem with, but I don't use tools Guess I should avoid getting too attached to my Nexus 7 in case the worst case scenario becomes reality

I just put clothes hangers on the left side of my screen. Holding it perfectly flush against the silver.

Where to buy missing screws in the UK?

Hi,
I have the screen lift issue and when opening my Nexus up I see I have two screws missing. Searching around I've read they are 3.2 mm Phillips screws with M1.4 thread. I know nothing about screws and have tried searching google with no luck. Does anyone know where I can buy these so I can try and replace my missing ones? The guy at HMV said their stock is all the same shipment so if I get a replacement it's most likely to have the same issue.
Any hardware shop. B&Q for example.

Asus apparently decided your screen attachment is better without those two screws, and you are going to replace them. Why?

Put them in and watch that screen rise even more

really? So the only fix is the glue? I thought as some seem to be fixing their screen lift by tightening the screws it would work. Back to the drawing board I guess.

The screen lift isn't too bad more worried about it getting worse in the future. I'm thinking about returning it but my Nexus is perfect bar this lift and with all the issues being reported I'm worried I'll get one with even more issues.

Is there ANY WAY to fix this?

My nexus 7 has been having a lot of issues. Is there anyway to fix the screen ripple and bleed? It has become a very big bother. I do not want to send it in. Thank you for your help

If your on a custom ROM try wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache, reboot and try. If the issue continues try a different ROM/kernel

Thanks, but isn't it a hardware problem? Thank you

If you take the back cover off and fiddle with the screws it can help a lot. Try removing all the screws from the side you're getting the backlight bleed at; the bleed seems to happen where there's warping of the screen caused by tension where the screws are too tight. The ripple you can probably do nothing about, I've had 6 units and they all ripple like hell.
Not being a smart ass or anything but why aren't you returning it? Why take it in your own hands to fix a defect and run the risk of voiding the warranty?

Bent screen

No I do not own a flex
Anyway when I put it screen down on a flat surface and touch the corners it starts rocking.
How to describe better.
One finger on left upper, one on the right down corner and touching once up once down. (Or the opposite corners, has to be diagonal)
If you have the same issue, your should feel it.
It does not distort the screen, but not sure it won't get worse in the future.
Anyone else encountered this?

I have this but it's because I manually replaced my screen and did not have something to put in so t wouldn't rock but since I use a case that covers the bezel it's not a problem

In my case it's the glass that's bent. Not like it's lifted, but deformed. Not sure how it really happened. Maybe the original quick window cover... or just having it in my pants

Maybe heat? or probably sat on it that made one side of the screen cave in? lol
Always have it in the front more like the heat... btw I would not even notice it.. just by accident I tapped one corner and it was not touching the table...

Plastic breaking off

Is anyone's device plastic breaking off? I'm talking about the strip between the glass and aluminum housing.

I will get a picture once I get off work but I'm not sure how it happened. It's always in a case, but I take it off maybe once a day, which may have caused it but I'm really careful about that.

Does it look like this? If so go to the "Bent after 2 days" thread. I know it's not bent, so the title is misleading. But the "Bent" issue in that thread is only this issue.
Like this?
This only happened because it fell naked, it was 3ft drop though so I'm impressed.
Only got a little dent with it too.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
This is how mine looks in the top left of the picture. Never been dropped out of the case.
I can't really see anything on the photo, it all blends in.
If you mean the thin plastic band that sits between the screen and the aluminium case then yes, that seems to have the characteristics of play dough, it is easily dented.

Agreed. That material is just a cushion.
Yes, I've had this as well. I took my 6P out of the case it's been in (pretty much since I got it) and the top right corner has lost some of the plastic. Never been dropped so not sure why it's happening.
