Hi
I just dropped my phone and the screen cracked and isn't responding. I'm going away on Tuesday evening so am looking for the quickest/cheapest replacement. I'm in SW London UK. I have a second Nexus 4 that is water damaged so I'm not sure if the touch screen is working on that or not, but the glass is fine. I don't have any tools that might be needed either.
If anyone can recommend a somewhere that can replace it while I wait or send out a replacement for Tuesday I'd appreciate it. I'm not sure how this works and whether or not I would just need a new glass screen and or new sensor.
Any help is appreciated.
edit: is this everything I'd need? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-Google..._DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d2c44fff0#shpCntId
I won't have time to order anything that I can use by tomorrow now.
The touch screen isn't working but I can see the lock screen and that looks fine. I just can't unlock it. I don't know if I just need a Replacement Touch Screen Digitizer Glass or a Full Lcd Touch Digitizer Screen. What is the difference? Is the latter for if the screen itself is broken and can't display anything?
Any help is appreciated.

Unless you have experience separating digitizer/lcd, it's way worth the extra price for the whole assembly. The two are glued together and it's very easy to damage the lcd during the separation.

Hi
I have a Qtek 9000 and recently I broked the display. As I had the service manual I thought I coud replace the display by myself. I bought a new LCD + touch screen on ebay and the replacing of the LCD was easy and went quite well. The lcd works fine but the touch screen don't. I cheked and clean all the contacts but couldn't make the touch screen work.
So I wrote de seller and we agree to send back de display and receive a new one that he will test bofore posting.
I placed this new display and the problem remais the same. The lcd works fine but the touch screen don't, so I think the problem could not be here.
I made a hard reset and even downgraded to the original ROM but the touch screen still not working.
Can anyone help me with this
Thanks
Have you tried the touchscreen side of things before re-asembling the casing?
I have had problems with the seal on the casing around the screen activating the touch screen permanently - so that it runs really slow (if at all) when using the keypad.
damn, did you get the touch screen to work at all?
which LCD + touch did you buy from ebay? hopefully we can avoid this seller and get something that works.
ever thought of buying the touch screen separately and putting that on?
Let us know how it goes.
whitemoo.
after disasembling/asembling device had the same ussie with touch,after a cup of hours using it.
armandoramos try to open,when UNI works,only a part of UNI with LCD(look page 21 in service manual-bottom picture,page 22 & page 23-middle picture),then try how works your touch.If it works-you just had pinch the LCD coaxial cable module.
i had a problem with my touch screen, i was lucky enough to find a second hand uni in a local market with a busted lcd but working TS.
i swopped over the TS and re-assembled my uni, one thing i did have to add was a tiny piece of foam between the ribbon cable assembly and the case, this was to push the two ribbon cable sections (TS and LCD) together, for a better connection, relying on the sticky bits alone was not enough.
hope this helps.
I have had my wing for only 2 months and I bought it off of a friend.
When I had it I noticed two little scratches at the right hand-side bottom of the screen, but everything worked perfect......until now.
The problem I am having is that the touchscreen is not responding right att all. The main screen is crystal clear (it functions right) but the touchscreen interface is does not repond to touch or when it does, it activates another section of the screen different from where was pressed.
Do u guys think it's really the touchscreen layer on the main screen that is faulty or could it be something else triggering a faulty reponse?
Thanks in advance.
I had that same problem with an HP iPAQ hx2490. The only thing i can say to you is: You need to buy a new screen and replace the old one..
sry
You do not need to replace the whole screen, but the touch screen digitizer will need to be replaced. I had that problem on my prophet and had to have it replaced.
Thanks guys for ur quick reply... I'll take the step to replace the necessary part....Thank you.
Doing research on this I see where these cost at least $50 or more. Is it worth it? Can you not get a new one cheaper using the offers posted on this site? Just curious.

replacing the digitizer has way more steps than just changing the whole LCD screen. I had similar thing happen to my old MDA and I replaced both LCD and digitizer with new ones. Separating the Digitizer from LCD might damaged the actual screen itself. I suggest go to ebay and buy a combo screen+digitizer replacement part.
I got one for my MDA for 78 dollar shipped.comes with flat plastic tools, plastic screen protector, T6 screwdrivers, and wiping cloth. Not a bad deal.
The only reason I suggested just replacing the digitizer is cost... My I had to replace the digitizer it cost $60 instead of $100 for the entire screen...
please help My touch sceen is broken

Ive seen a couple of people here have damaged their screen whist changing their screen protectors!
What exactly did yu do, so we can hopefully prevent other members from doing it in the future.
Could it just be the digitizer that goes infront of the LCD screen?
Thanks guys .
I looked in Internet too without any effect.I will let it till I fly to Hongkong next month,i hope i can find there.
but please be aware by changing the screen protector because you can not think that you remove the touch screen too with the screen protector because its very thin same like screen protector.
any way it was my bad day
thanks for helping me
Hi guys, i followed all the indictaions on the official videos but i think i broke something! I had an HTC hd2 with a broken digitilizer but the screen worked fine. I bought a screen+digitilzer combo and replaced it but it didnt work.
The screen does not show anything (black screen) but the backlight of it is on!
I tought maybe was a problem of that lcd so i tested the original screen (that was working) and it does the same.
What could be the problem??
Please i need help
come onn, anyone ?
please guys, anyone ??
Sounds like a defective lcd to me. I'd try an RMA asap on getting another unit before your DOA warranty (if the lcd has one) runs out.
it's not the LCD. I had a working LCD but a defective digitizer, i bought the lcd+digitizer replacement and now both screens do the same , just the backlight is on. And before i change the screens the original lcd was working fine.
Could it be because the LCD is not correctly pasted into the chassis ? i really don't know what could it be the problem. The lcd is correctly connected to the mainboard. What could i broke in the process?
Thanks connexion2005 for the help anyways, is nice to see someone finally answered hehe!

If you were not really gental with the internal parts of the phone, more presisly the ribbons that connect each part to the main board you could have cause micro cracks in the copper strips of the ribbons. Look at the closely with a magnifying. glass if possible.
today i was able to sync it literally with no idea of what i was touching. I also figured that the digitizer works , i was able it dial some numbers. The phone appears to work.
So, Backlight is on, Touch (digitizer) also works, but not showing anything on the LCD.
Could it be a mainboard problem ?? I'm trying to use logic because i don't know anything about cellphones and how do they work in terms of components.
Could it be the ribbon ? I dont think so, i have two screens and both of them do the same (backlight on but not showing anything).
I'm clueless!
Don`t panic. Calm down, watch a demolution tuturial. You probably miss smt. Good luck
But it could be a ribbon...
Half of the screen works( Touch ) and the other half -- under the broken part doesnt work. Have already bought a screen ( with digitizer only ). Will this do or should I have bought " Touch Screen Lcd Display Assembly" ?
What I have -- here
Is the above enough or should I have bought this
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

If the display itself isn't messed up, then it's only the digitizer that's broken. However, replacing the digitizer is not easy to do. Watch some youtube videos, get the necessary stuff, and best of luck. You might end up damaging the LCD, in which case the screen assembly is what you'll need to fix your phone.

The display below the cracked screen(half cracked) is not responding. So, half of the screen is becoming useless. Planning on giving it to LG service center with the digitizer+screen -- will cost me around 7$ or so. So, I do have the proper replacement screen ( Check the links)?
