[Q] Screen replacement - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I've ordered a defy screen digitizer, 2mm adhesive strip and a torx screwdriver set from Amazon, and they should be delivered this thursday.
Does anyone know of a GOOD quality guide (video or pictures please) for dismantling then re-assembling a Motorola Defy?
Preferably one for replacing the screen too..
I really don't want to mess this up
Thank you all so much, you've been a great help for the life of my device
For anyone interested, I've thrown my phone down a street and it was fine, then the moment I fall over at a house party - SMASH... Screen wrecked Not the LCD, just the gorilla glass
Sorted it, I just sort of guessed I apologise for the terrible quality webcam.

LCD Damaged

Hi,
I must've sat on my phone or something but when I picked up my beloved HD2 and read a message against the white background I was greeted by this lovely Splodge. I plan to claim on my insurance but I was just wondering if anyone had encountered and possibly fixed anything like this.

moisture? Been swimming with your phone or in the sauna with it again?
Make the insurance claim.
you can try pulling gently at the screen with a suction cup, good chance it will unstick the two layers again.
Fixed
Thanks for your help and concern but it fixed itself before I could claim!
I believe you may have been right Samsamuel, thanks.
and airwater9... Swimming with it hasn't broken it in the past so why would it have broken it this time? silly...

Cracked screen and a bad replacement

So I ordered a replacement screen finally, as i have been with a cracked screen for awhile now. New screen came in and i begin to disassemble my phone, and remove the old screen no problem. I get to install the new one, and fit it in, its a little tight and I put a slight amount of pressure and the new one cracks in the corner. I was pretty pissed. So I then noticed that there is no gap at all between the digitizer and the hole for the optical joystick.
It was a screen from Chuanbo Zhang on amazon, which has plenty of reviews.

Did i just get a badly made screen? or is this normal for most screens or is there some version of the Droid Inc that has no gap between those parts?
Should I still try and repair this phone after ive had it for so long? Or is it time to retire and go for something new.

FEEL DIFFERENCE​
Won't that cause dust to be collected in there? :$
might be yes
Interesting trick, especially for an old, already damaged atrix
Apparently there are different kinds of grid, yours looks like the ifixit one:
Mine is one big metal part (european atrix)
Besides my back cover grill is broken, so the speaker would be completely unprotected
Mine old back covers grill was broken and i bought a new cover and this is fake one but not very bad

Mechanical faults on my Vivo Tab

My TF810c was send for repair yesterday, but I was already told in the shop that one issue is my fault and it will not be fixed.
Considering how much TF810 cots in Poland I will not let go (especially that I know it is devices fault not my inattention.
So...
1. Seal on the hinge (the one between hinge and docking station is all ripped and pushed down by edge of docking station. Not nice as there is glue left inside and on the edge of keyboard.
More and more dirt get in.

2. Frame of the screen just broke (above place where all materials plastic and aluminium meet). It is not chipped (as after hitting something), just split.

Any one with similar issues?

No, unfortunately
It's a pain to separate the glass from the LCD, you need dry ice, special glue to glue the new glass and a lot of experience. Just buy the full LCD and digitizer for 20-30 $ on Ebay.
