Looks like you need a M1 screw x 5mm long with 2mm diameter T5 [torx] head.

I fixed a laptop once and lost a screw. About a week later I noticed a rattling sound. (Just saying)

That was a lot of of help! (guessing the rattling was in your head!)
I would call any fastener distributors/sellers in your area or hardware stores. I do not know your locale, so cannot advise on any.
I browse through ebay and got no luck. Is there any compatible screw like screw for blackberry bold or sth.
I will go the mobile center and see if they have some spare. Thanks
CNN.CN perhaps?

Here is a web site that has the screw you will need.

The site doesn't show anything smaller than M1.2.
From the OP he needs a M1 x 0.25P x 5mm long SHCS with low profile T5 head, or the fine pitch variant which is M1 x 0.2P x 5mm long.
He could email them to see if they have anything special.
These people may have it as they list smaller than M1 threads in their thread charts:

Everything works fine (except for the camera focus, which I can live with since everything is in focus always as it is because it shoots at like f/8). What's weird is that it has survived so many other falls onto concrete, and this just happens now.
I really need to replace the glass as soon as possible. It looks pretty unprofessional cracked like this.. I am out of warranty (bought the phone in September 2010 from T-Mobile), and T-Mobile no longer has any G2s .
I've looked through a few people who have mentioned replacing their front glass, and would like to do so myself. Anyone have advice regarding how I could do this?

less than $20 for new digitizer, takes 30min -- leave yourself an hour if your new to this
Sweet thanks! Looking forward to getting this done. Will keep this thread updated.
Ordered it from the website. Hopefully will get it soon.

I highly advise AGAINST super glue for securing the digitizer.

Okay - what would you recommend instead?
the glue that is on your phone now will sufice. when heat it up with hair dryer (be carefull if you use a heat gun) most of it will stay along the frame of your phone. just keep it warm and quickly put new digitizer back. have done it twice now with g2s and countless times with g1s and no dust has ever seeped in.
but with g1s i often replaced the casing as well. here i would use 3m double sided tape that worked very well. if you are also replacing the case or for some reason dont feel the glue is enough use this

I recommend 2mm 3M adhesive tape. I have used it for the 3 g2s I own and it holds darn well. Its less then 5 bucks on amazon and you will have quite a bit of it. Dont use glue. I always take off that old black tape.

The tape doesn't make the digitizer bulge away from the surface at all? I feel like it would. I'll give that link a buy though, just in case.
the tape he and i is refuring to is thinner than paper, i have not needed it for a g2 before but only have done 2 digitizers on these so i cant say its never necessary unless you are replacing the case as well, but its cheap to have around and may be needed

No if you stack it right I had to stack three pieces of that tape to flush it. It does not move around if you tape in the right spots. Its very thin and almost invisible.
That is weird... I did the SAME thing last week lol! I busted it on the concrete too and everything. It scratched up the bezel pretty bad too. I had insurance so I ended up getting the MT4GS (aka HTC Doubleshot). I love how speedy it is but I REALLY miss the development here and the GREAT community here in the Desire Z/G2 sub forum As far as repairing/replacing the screen (the digitizer specifically), everyone here gave great advice. I used to repair phones for a number of years and we always used a sealant very similar to double sided tape that y'all were mentioning. It basically was foaming glue that acted similar to silicon or something. I agree that about not using super glue. Bad idea. Also be careful with the ribbon wires and watch a few videos prior to disassembly. There were a few tear down threads here I'd keep handy while repairing. Good luck to ya!
Make sure you are VERY careful when removing the lcd its very fragile. I reaced my digitizer easy and was careful and lcd got mrssed up ie no pic. Ordered a new lcd and it had not brightness control always dim waiting for new replacement now. Side note once new screen comes in I will be selling this phone if anyone is interested i have 3 of them only need 2

Son of gun. The last three screws I need to remove do NOT fit with the philips head screwdriver that was recommended. Now I get to scramble around with my phone in pieces trying to find a smaller philips head screwdriver. Awesome.
They are philips head, not torque screws. I checked and triple checked.
Anyone have any idea what to do here? I can't find smaller screwdrivers anywhere. Home depot has got nada.
Go out and buy a precision screwdriver set or maybe a eye glasses repair kit. Only the first 3 screws are torx T5. Also there is 7 of them tiny ones not 3. There is 3 on either side and one more under keyboard backstop

No it's the three screws across the back at this time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=u-dR8CHEGjY#t=251s).
They are smaller than all the others and I still cannot get them out. I cannot find an eye glasses repair kit or precision screwdriver set small enough.
http://www.repairsuniverse.com sent me the screwdrivers for the Inspire 4G. Pretty sure the digitizer is for the G2 but I'll have to check the screen sizes to make sure.
Update. Fry's elecronics had a repair kit for smartphones that fit the screws. Still working on it.

if you keep watching the video you will see that when he removes the sticky keyboard backstop there are three more identical size screws mirrored from the ones you are talking about right on edge of phone, and then when you remove that piece after you remove the screws there wiil be one more (this makes number 7 ) screw of the same size tiny. Also i dont think it is metioned in the video but when you go to remove the keyboard backstop (the shiny piece under the sticky strip ) use your safe pry tool to unlock the tabs from the edge and then you must slide the piece towards the center of the phone it does not just pry off there are tiny tabs holding one side down opposite of the screws ( edge of phone ) And as far as the screwdriver for eye glasses repair, is it you cant find one or it just does not work? You should be able to find one at any walgreens or equivalent drug store or pharmacy. You could also try a hobby shop they might have something that will work. I personally use quite a big screwdriver to disassemble you just need to make sure it has a sharp point at the tip of the star ( mine is a phillips number 00 ) Believe me once you get it apart once you will be that was so easy.
I need to know what size torx bit it takes to disassemble it, my set goes down to T8 and the screws are smaller than that, I am going to need to replace the screen as I beamed it at a wall earlier today.. I need to get my temper in check..
Well since no one has the answer, It seems to be a T5 according to a seller on Amazon.
Hello xda
Today my Nexus 4 fell into ground and now I have a cracked screen and the touch is damage, lcd turns on but I can unlock or power off phone.
My question is:
If I install this kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-LG-E960...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item27cf6a2617 the problem will be fixed? or do I need another thing to be installed?
Also, any good kit of tools to open and repair nexus 4?

T5 screwdriver and other standard screwdrivers would suffice to fully disassemble your phone.
If you don't have T5, then buy a kit, it must be there.

What's a good source to buy the screen with housing? Etradesupply is out of stock and I hear mixed reviews about the ebay screens.

Thanks for your answer and the video
I've saw this video and now it look hard to do by myself
Hello, a while ago my screen cracked and now I got all the parts needed for a screen replacement, but the torx screwdrivers I had at home were to big. So I looked around on Youtube and some videos tell me I need size ''T3'' and some other guy says ''T4'', but because the T4 and T3 is not in the same kit here where I buy it, so I was wondering if someone here knows which size is the right one.
Edit: The first 20 screws after peeling of the back cover.
Thank you
