I just dropped the remote of the tv on my X7500 and now there is a small dent in the touchscreen. The LCD is not damaged. Does anybody know whether there is a fix for this, eg can the touchscreen only be replaced, or is it part of a total module with the LCD panel?

As far as I know it is possible to detach the touchscreen from the main LCD.
The touchscreen is a thin film surrounded by a metal frame which clips over the edges of the LCD (like the top part of a board-game box!). It is fiddly to remove without the right tools and is furthermore connected by a small ribbon connector.
It may or may not be cost-effective to buy the touch screen - I have a big scratch in mine and would like a new screen, along with some other bits but I don't know where to source components.
I finally didn't avoid dropping the Blade, although it is in a silicon case wearing outer protector sticker too. It fell face down i think on another item (they were in a fanny pack). Unfortunately, there was a crack all across the display when i checked it out. So i took the phone apart, found the display part that i need in ebay. The thing is every part either clips or zifs, except for the display itself and the volume button. The display was glued on the frame with some kind of stickers, i wonder how i should go about and install the new display, because it appears the two stickers are on the frame and not on the display so i guess there will be no stickers on the new part and the sellers specifically state "instructions not included, make sure you know what to do yourself". I have found instructions on outer screen change, but not for display change. The same applies for the volume button which was glued on the frame. Should i use some kind of glue for the display? And if yes, what kind of glue? Or should i search for these special stickers? And where would i find these, if they re not even mentioned anywhere i looked at? Thanks for any info guys..
Hi guys,
What could be the possible reasons for a touchscreen and the capacitive buttons to stop working?
I purchased my Huawei U8800 only very recently but it was purchased 2nd hand. The phone came pre-installed with a custom rom, which is this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481168
I've had very minimal use of it ever since I received it, due to the reason that I have exams as I'm an UNI student. Therefore, I haven't modified the phone in any way, i.e I have not overclocked it or flashed a different kernel or recovery etc. The only thing I've done is installed GO SMS PRO and used it for txting and calling, that's it.
At first, everything seems to work fine. But on my 2nd day of use, the touchscreen started acting weird, where the right hand side of the screen stops working for no reason, as well as the 2 capacitive buttons on the right half of the screen (HOME and SEARCH). Then after a while, the BACK capacitive button on the left half of the screen stopped working, and eventually all 4 capacitive buttons and the entire screen stopped working.
The phone still turns on, but the entire screen doesn't pick up any finger input and there isn't any haptic feedback or vibration from the capacitive buttons. When I boot into the recovery, this is also the same.
So I contacted the seller about this, and he advised me to flash the Cyanogenmod 7.2 rom to see if this fixes the problem. It didn't, the touchscreen still doesn't work.
I'm wondering if this is related to the digitizer, which is the part of the phone that sense your finger inputs? If not, what are the other parts of the phone that could relate to the capacitive buttons and touch screen?
Definately a digitizer problem. The capacitive buttons are part of the touch screen, the touch screen is extended over the bottom of the display.
You should buy a new one from eBay or similar. If you want to buy it with a frame (black part on the front), you will have to open your phone to see if the front speaker is big or small. There are two types of front speakers and they are not cross-compatible. If you just want to buy the digitizer, you will have to remove the old digitizer from it's frame and add some glue on the new one to make sure it won't stick out.
If you don't want to mess with your phone, I am sure there are paid services that will do it for you, since replacing the digitizer is fairly easy.

thanks for your reply mate!
Ok so I've found this one here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-To...Glass-For-Huawei-U8800-Ideos-X5-/170721993712
Since it says it's "original", I don't have to worry about the speaker problem right?

They are selling the digitizer, so there will be no problems as it's only the digitizer glass and not the frame around it. The frame itself is holding the digitizer and the speaker so that's why there may be issues when buying the front cover.
If you need a disassembly tutorial, check my Mediafire (signature) -> Documents -> U8800 Basic Maintenance Manual. It's the official disassembly guide so you can be sure you are doing it right .

Wait, that doesn't have the frame around it? I thought the black part surrounding the glass is the frame? I'm confused.......
I just want something that looks exactly like shown in that Ebay listing photo, where it has that bit of the connector part that you push into the motherboard (or whatever it's called on the phone).

On your listing, it does not have frame.
If it's without frame, it is simply the front glass with connector. If it is with the frame, it has the black curve too (and speaker with led).
See this:
Without frame.
With frame.
Hope it makes sense now

Yeah, but not much. Maybe you don't need to add any glue at all, the old one might hold it too.

hi blefish
just posted a similar question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39201328#post39201328
is it the same solution? (the 4 buttons at the bottom do not work as well as the lower half of screen)
my speaker is 15 mm by 5 mm long (i looked inside). is it big or small?
all the ebay posts do not mention a frame - i will be happy not to mess with the glue
thanks
huwaei G 510
Hi guys,
I did have the same problem with a Huawei G 510. Digitizer broken and replaced, but still not working.
I have no action on screen. It lits but i can't press any button. Either the 3 buttons are working.
Checked the plug, checked some voltage in the pins.
Any other ideas ?
Thanks in advance,
Miltos Matt
I have a G530, the Tmobile version, though fully unlocked, rooted, etc. I had cracked the digitizer and while waiting for a new one I dropped it again and the LCD popped out with the digitizer, disconnecting itself and would come back on after that. I got a new LCD and attached it to the board (disassembled) and all worked. I mounted the board back in the case and reattached everything but then only the backlight would turn on during initial boot. The connection seemed loose and after 2-3 reconnects I got my display to work, but while attaching the digitzer, the glass at the very top, just before the lcd starts broke... So I got ANOTHER lcd and digitizer (They're cheap) This LCD only gives the backlight at initial power on, with no display response, but no matter what I do, I can't get it to kick on like the last one.
I'm trying to get an idea if it is the new LCD, or if my connector on the board is broken, It looks like maybe a bit of plastic at the top broke off.. and is making the connector a bit loose. Since I get a backlight, anyone have any experience as to which is more likely broken? I'm not sure if power from the connector goes straight to the backlight, or if it goes to the LCD first, and if I would get a backlight with a bad LCD. These are cheap $25 LCD & Digitizer bundles from Amazon, like 'Mencia' brand so good chance I could have gotten a new one that is dead.
I'll try to get another up close shot of the connector, this magnifying app didn't focus in as well and you cant see the individual connectors as well, but they are fine, its the very top part of the connector looks a bit smaller. The bottom part has a piece of metal sandwiched between the plastic, but the top doesn't have a bit of plastic after the metal tab, of course, it could be absolutely nothing :s
Hi guys,
My s5's screen has broken and i need a new one. Also i want to buy that on the aliexpress but some lcd screens in the aliexpress are dont have brightness setting or dont have Samsung logo on the over. In fact, if you buy a orijinal lcd or a+ quality screen on the aliexpress, will you give link me? Thx.
I've installed a few of these 'Chinese Copy' screens and they are only worth doing if you are seriously short of money. Taking your points in no specific order:
The Samsung logo is always present on every one I've had. You never see it in the pictures because of some licensing condtion that says that you can only put the name on a completed product (or so I'm told). The screens will have a scratch-and-sniff patch covering the logo, which you have to remove (carefully) with the edge of a coin or something similar.
They have all had just two (or three) brightness settings ('dimming' in the test menu will show this) rather than being continuously variable
The colour rendition is crap
The color schemes thing where you select 'cimena', 'photographic' or whatever don't work. Can't remember official name for this
Doesn't support touch hovering
Some don't support multi-finger touch (some do)
The glass is little more than thin plastic and bends/breaks easily
They are significantly thicker than normal, so they won't sit in the housing properly. No amount of glue will make them sit properly (and they will bend anyway)
The screen area is several mm smaller in both dimensions. The space between the Samsung logo and the screen boundary is v noticeable unless it's a black screen
The TSP and glass can not be separated, even with specialist hardware
TL;DnR Don't bother.
