My sisters Nexus 7 was dropped today and I'm trying to get it fixed for her. The frame is dented up so I'm not sure if the replacement would fit anyways, but maybe. The glass is cracked pretty bad but the LCD still works fine. Problem is, the digitizer must be broken because it will not register any touches. She does not need a whole new screen assembly, because those are expensive, rather just the glass and digitizer. Do any of you guys know anything about replacing it? Thanks a lot for any help.

Sorry mate but on the nexus 7 the screen and digitizer are fused together. Bottom line, she needs entire screen/display. I haven't seen them hit the market yet.

They are on eBay but go for around $160. Might be cheaper to buy a new 8Gb and sell the broken one for parts. Seems like that's what a lot of folks are having to do.

Thanks guys, unfortunately that seems like the only fix right now. Might end up finding her one off craigslist

Hi, did you find the replacement on Craiglist?? Today I broke mine..
I found just the glass and digitizer on eBay for less than 30 buck. Don't know how difficult this installation is gonna be but I'm up for resurrecting my Nexus 7.

Hey!
I'm really sorry if this kind of thread is somewhere in here, but it is really urgent.
So i have broke my nexus 7's glass and touchscreen isn't responding. Where ca i get some kind of replacement and how much it would cost?
And maybe there is some way to get touchscreen working, i don't care that much about broken glass.
The touch and glass are unique peace on N7.
Today the best option is to buy another N7. The repair is about 160+ US$. Or you can wait a few months till price drop

Hello guys, I've got my Nexus 4 like a week ago, and it is just beautiful, and I like to use it with no case/bumper, so far I've taken care of it and it hadn't scratched or anything but yesterday I almost drop it, and I was wondering if it gets cracked, can I get a front or back gorilla glass panel to replace it? If not I'm gonna have to buy a case, but if I can I will keep using it naked and just replace it when it cracks, thanks

it can be replaced but the glass panels cost around 150 to 170 dollars. Thats like half the phone price.
Best to have lg replace the glass if it breaks. Costs the same as to do if yourself and takes about 9 days total depending what country you have to send it to.

The front screen is going to be the most expensive. The digitizer and LCD are fused together.

Bezel of the device or bezel of the screen. Both seem simple enough just the screen bezel seems time consuming and tedious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm4f2XjQLAM

This is going to be your best bet on replacing it.

hmm, I am being off topic here, but couldn't resist. If I need to choose between buying a brand new phone for $500, and buying a mutilated phone for $300 that I have to invest time/money into fixing, but that could still have hidden damage (like stressed over tensioned frame), I would buy the $500 worry-free one
I wish you luck man fixing this one, hopefully it goes well...
Oh I have a brand new one I got for 500. But then I saw this one and it caught my eye, so now I have two

Maybe a case will cover up the bezel, would save you time and money trying to fix it.
Yeah youre right..... maybe if I get this damn imei fixed lkl

Did you do the replacement? Because I have a dent in my bezel and want to make sure the websites listed in this forum are legit and are trusted so that I can replace my bezel.
I dented my frame and replaced it for $20 pretty easy just take off the back and reinstall new one

Did you buy it from the website posted in this link? If you did what part did you buy? Front or back housing?
Ive replaced a broken N4 front assembly and LCD and I was wondering is there any uses for the old LCD? The LCD is fine and works but the other parts is damaged. Does anyone has any ideas or is there any possibilities? or should I toss them out cause idk if anyone would buy the old parts? Thanks for any help guys.
Whatever parts are still good . then someone will buy then.

You have any idea of who would buy them? Im thinking of listing on ebay but idk what or where to start and ive seen them not being sold after a while
Even if they don't always sell quick, there's no downside to listing them.
Guys, I have a first gen nexus 7 to repair, Im pretty handy as I repair quite a lot of stuff but I haven't done one of these yet.
The question I have is can the digitizer be separated from the lcd panel? I've noticed that you can buy digitizers separately and together with lcd panels. But I read a few things where people say they can't get them seperated? I have a heat gun...can it be done? Or should I just pay more for the combo?
Thanks guys.

No no no no......you definitely want the combo. The seperate pieces would need to be bonded and thats a pain. The combo is definately the best route.
best route is to sell it on eBay for parts and get the new nexus7
I've taken a look, you guys are right. ...there is no way that digitizer is coming off that lcd with destroying both. Im good as this stuff, and even swapping the combo is a pain in the ass!
