Nexus 7 LCD replacement or Digitizer? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I just want to ask a question. My nexus 7 screen has been cracked when I was on a vacation, the screen has a large crack on bottom right part and there are some line cracks from that bottom right to the other parts of the screen. The LCD is working perfectly, but the touch (tapping on screen) is not responding. I'm planning to buy only a screen digitizer to change the digitizer, and I'd still reuse the outer screen (Outer screen glass). Does buying a digitizer will solve my problem, or should I buy a new LCD replacement (LCD + Screen Digitizer)? A reply will be appreciated

Hey! I have the same problem and I'd like to suggest you buying the Screen+Digitizer+Frame as it is way MORE easier than installing the screen separately (you'll have to mess up with heating gun/ glue and some other processes). BTW this bundle is just 3-5 bucks more expensive than the usual screen.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111737972261

But if i m not wrong lcd display is the one that show the image and touchscreen
is a kind of plastic that is pasted on the lcd and what is with this broken glass.
If somebody could help me with this question or if not give a link to other reseller that also ship to europe.
Thanxxxxx in advance.
missing pic
Here is the missing pic hope it works this time.
If you broken just glass- digitizer. so you just buy new on ebay. If you broken lcd screen, too so buy lcd+digitizer.
just make sure you buy digitizer for your phone because there are two types of them. One you showed is an older type and there is newer "snap in" type.

i cant put the picture because of 8 post block...
I broke the glass of my Leo last week as well, fixed now. I was lucky though, it was just the digitizer but when they were about to change it they did tell me that the digitizer and the lcd are so close and well pinned to each other that there was a risk they broke the lcd when trying to remove the digitizer so then I would have had to buy lcd +digitizer .. but it worked fine. Good luck!
Broke mine last October, covered it in a screen protector and its been fine ever since. The money saved not replacing it is in my "new hd2 for sam" fund, and you soon get used to the cracks, which can hardly be seen when the back light is on.
it happended wid my frnd too !

[Q] Desire Z / G2 Digitizer issue / replacemen

Ok, I had a search and I can't see anything quite the same as what I have going on, if there is I apologise and please point me at it?
Anyway I have an HTC Desire Z, I dropped it and smashed the digitizer. Everything still worked perfectly but I eventually got sick of reading through smashed glass (luckily screen protector meant I didn't cut the tips of my fingers off lol)
So, I order a replacement digitizer, slowly and carefully fit it (following a couple of guides on youtube etc. Everything is safely back together however now when the phone turns on all I get is a rainbow coloured stripe going up the left hand side of the screen. I pulled it all apart again assuming it was a lose/bad connection put it all back together even more diligently.. same thing.
Figured it was faulty so the seller (generously) sent out a replacement unit... problem is I am still having the same issue... any idea what I have done wrong/is the LCD now buggered too? I am so confused as all worked perfect until I "fixed" it
Looks like this now (ignore the bubbles that is just the cover that comes on the new digitizer unit:

any and all help is appreciated.
I am having the same issue...and I believe it to be a poorly connected and or broken ribbon cable. I am however not 100% on that.

That black circle on the screen indicates that the lcd is damaged. I has a similar problem. I replaced the lcd and everything was running again.

[Q] What is this inside the screen?

Just noticed that on the left hand corner of the screen is a small shiny patch. It is not a scratch on the outside of the screen. It appears to be between the screen and the glass. Pictures don't do it justice. It is very noticeable outside, because it is very shiny. My question is, what is it and can I fix it? It is visible whether the LCD is on or not. Doesn't look like anything has cracked, or seeped in. Wasn't there earlier...

Seems that the gorilla glas and your screen got off a little bit. Since they are glued together it could be the case. You must disassemble your device to know more
Looks like glue between digi and LCD had a failure. Is it a device you bought used?. If so whoever changed digi messed up on glue job. If its device you got new from google I would RMA......that is definitely a manufactures defect.

I bought almost new, nearly 1 year ago. Wasn't like that last week. Don't think I can RMA it to anyone. Guess if it gets worse I can replace the screen...
Thanks for the responses...

Yeah, I got in contact with LG support on Friday and they're getting back to me. Hopefully get a replacement screen.

Bubble under glass

I got my note 4 day after launch and yesterday morning a bubble showed up under the glass on the left top corner of the screen At first I though it was the screen protector that had a bubble underneath but after taking the screen protector off it is actually under the glass. The bubble is about half inch long by 1/8th inch wide or so. I couldn't find any info on anyone else with this problem. I went to Tmobile and they sent a replacement phone out right away. Anyway just seeing if anyone else has had this problem. There is no damage to the glass or screen just a bubble under the glass. XDA wont let me post photos in my posts yet so once I'm over 10 posts i'll put some pictures of it up.
Looks like glue wasn't cured right. Were you able to "push" bubble out by pressing on screen or is more like cured glue separated from glass?

Pressing on it doesn't make the bubble go away or change shape in any way.
be good if some way we can see a picture.

There it finally allowed me to post photos.
yeah that's a strange one! Only thing I can think of is that it was there when you first bought it, but it was too small for you take notice until it got bigger!
Exchange!
This is the adhesive that fuses the LCD panel to the glass digitizer separating. Definitely a factory defect and definitely get it exchanged. This should not be happening.
Mine is separating in the same spot. Can only see it when the light it on it just right, hasn't gotten as bad as yours yet

Broken Screen

My tablet took a leap of death and hit a corner where the screen broke internally (i can see cracks but i cant touch them), and imediatelly after i opened it screen was fading to darker colors towards that point and had many black lines.

Also the touch screen was not responsive to the right side. After some hours it wont even open, but when i connect to pc it recognizes it so it must be functioning.
I took it to an authorized shop and told me the total cost to fix the screen is 215 euros. I bought it for 320.
Is it worth it, should i learn and do it myself?
Anyone here has an experience with that kind of thing?

It would cost you that much just for the LCD replacement part to DIY, so I'd say, pay the 215 euros.
Yes. Pay the 215 Euros. You get a warranty with the work.
