I managed to take my Hermes apart and replace my Touchscreen. When i detached the touchscreen I had to take these orange connectors off, they were held in place with see through tape. One for the touchscreen about 1 cm wide and another one (my guess is the backlight ?!). I did so and i think maybe a bit to rough/unhandy. I replaced the Touchscreen and tried to connect those orange connectors again with some tape. Put my whole phone together again. Now I do not have backlight anymore and my touchscreen is not working... I think some pieces of the connection of the orange connectors stayed on the phone and some on the connector itself so it cannot make contact anymore...
What is the way to reconnect those orange "connectors"? Maybe it needs soldering?
On the picture you can see one of them.
I'm guessing you may have just screwed it... Unless anyone else knows different?
Damage to flex cable

That is a real hard peace of work an the possibility to destroy the device completely is quite high. Heres another thread:

Thanks for the link but not sure where to insert the flat plastic tool on over the USB socket or below it. Please help
Victory, I managed to sucessfully repair my HD today.
Parts needed:
Digitizer ~ € 25, --
LCD Display ~ € 74, --
------------------------
Total: € 99, --
Time: ~ 3 hours
Difficulty: high
Special precautions:
After complete dissembling the HD according to the service Manual you can find in the net you will have to lever the display out of the front bezel from the front side. It is very likely the color and the frame will be damaged a bit! It's best to use a fairly broad plastic "spatula" and lever the display out. It should be noted that the glas of the digitizer is glued to the LCD display so it is very unlikely to repair the HD in case of a broken front glas by only changing the digitizer without changing the lcd display as well. This is unfortunate because digitizer is available very cheap (under € 30, -) over the Internet and usually only the glass of the digiziers breaks.
So who likes the risk and doesnt want to pay the horrendous costs of repair stalls here is the first case of a positive self-repair. PN if you want details. I am sorry but I have no pictures, because I repaired the HD at work and had no cam there.
Hard to replace LCD for touch hd
It is really very hard to replaced Lcd screen and digitilizer for touch HD.
I replaced mine last night for 3 hours. But before you start to separate the lcd from the case you must have a double sided tape for you to be able to return the lcd on the case. The tape will also serve as a sealant to your screen from dirt and to hold the screen on the housing.
Broken LCD
Yes, it's hard to change the digitizer.
I tried, I failed.
As my digitizer was broken (one can see a kind of watering effect, and no press effective anymore), I bought just the digitizer alone, without lcd screen.
12 € incl shipping. Nice price.
Here is what I received : cf. joined img 1248 (images are at the end, need moderator green light to do better. note : larger version available on frapi.com/vrac/cimg1248_rs.jpg.html (click on image for the others))
Seems OK. The plastic tool is bull**** (too soft to unclip the antenna)
With the help of the service manual, it wasn't so hard to dismantle it like that :
cf img 1251
Now the tricky part, level one :
you have to break apart digitzer+lcd+metal shield from the rest
cf img 1253
Be very careful when opening. try to lever only on the digitizer glass, that you will change anyway. You also have to unstick the metal shield under the LCD, because of the wiring there, attached to the digitizer :
cf img 1252
OK, done, you have that, digitizer+lcd :
cf img 1254
Now the tricky part, level two :
Split lcd from digitizer.
Just avoid doing that :
cf img 1257
cf img 1261
if you don't want to end like that :
cf img 1265
Don't ask, I don't have the recipe.

LCD manufacturer
Hello,
can anybody of you tell us the manufacturer of the display ? May I ask you to provide a readable picture of the labels behind the screen ? Or to write us the text on the labels ?
Many thanks, best regards Wolfgang
How do you fit the cable between the digitizer and lcd screen? Is it just a connector or do I have to solder it?

Bigger picture ?
Hello Frapipda,
may I ask you for a bigger picture of your thumpnail cimg1252_tn.jpg ?
If I can read the labels I would try to get a detailed specification of the display.
Many thanks, best regards Wolfgang
Hi all,
From the bottom is the lcd screen, after a black thing, and after is the digitizer glued on the top glass...
What is the name for the black transparent thing that goes between the screen and the digitizer? It is flexible but I accidentally made it to curve and now it has some marks inside.

Frapipda: You say its clipsed, but I cant manage to connect the tiny plastic digitizer contact with the lcd one. Do You have some advice?
I found out now. You have to lift one part of the contact...

Hi again,
Eventually bought a standalone LCD screen, came pretty quickly from HK (paid Friday nite, received today Wenesday in France).
was quite easy to install.
One tricky point :
LCD is glued on digitizer ; LCD position is paramount, and you have to insert the LCD in the phone body, then place the digitizer on the LCD, so that they are correctly positionned one to each other. If you don't, you won't be able to close the phone.
Phone is OK now

got it today
I got the plastic tool, the torx screwdriver and the lcd+ digitizer for lessthat $20 cdn, i have exams going on so i will work on it over the weekend, will post with extreme details and possibly a video on HOW-TO change the digitizer!
osamaali, any luck yet?
lol
im not going to post a video because a major **** happened, due to lack of knowledge around on the net i should say this clearly that YOU HAVE TO PRY OPEN THE LCD SCREEN FROM THE FRONT! use a thin yet broad and strong object to go between the side wall and the screen and start pulling, i used a knife and cut all the way around before i started prying to cut the glue which is stronger than "Arnold" and all the dismantling from the back is to get to the chip where digitizer is plugged in.
when taking the screen off i took off the main screen, then the touch resistor screen and then the glass at the end (3 layers total). the glass is also stuck to the main "monitor" this is where the colors come from, i got impatient and pulled it hard enough that the monitor did not get time to detach.
i ordered the monitor lcd, im going to edit the video for final upload. sorry for the delay but everyone now know
YOU HAVE TO CUT AND PRY IT OPEN! if you guys get stuck pm me and i'll reply here. also i got the touchscreen to work but killed my monitor, i can still use the phone but the bottom 1 inch is blacked out.
GL HF!
Prying it open would only cause a mess, with broken glass falling. I like to work in a clean environment so i just get a hair dryer, switch it to high and do a figure 8 on the screen. Sure it takes quite a long time to get it off but trust me it comes off in one piece. The only problem i got now is putting the button on correctly. I aligned the buttons but once i put the lcd+digitizer on the buttons would get jammed or stuck. End call button is still clickable but the rest are jammed. PM me if you can help me or just email me at [email protected]
Hi
I damaged my digitizer on my Touch2, I have ordered a replacement part and it has arrived.
I have stripped the phone down now, but I am stuck as to how to get the screen out.
I don't want to use too much force so any pointers as to how I can get my screen out and replace the digitizer will be greatly appreciated.
Paul
Dude, the only thing i got in my mind is youtube, there you can find anything. Try writing the something like Change digitizer on HTC Touch2 and may be you will find it, good luck
I've looked on u-Tube and found nothing for the Touch 2.
Was hoping someone on here might have more information.
Still no luck on this. Anyone?
I replaced many digitizers on blueangel and always used razor blade to seperate the lcd frame from the digitiser. The only issue was soldering the digitiser in to the lcd ribbon cable as they are soooooo thin, never opened the touch 2 yet but I can imagine its probably all cramped in there
I successfully changed my digitalizer.
I used book to help myself with added book.
Code:
www[dot]mikechannon[dot]net/PDF%20Manuals/OSeven%27s%20Disassembly%20Guide%20to%20the%20HTC%20Touch%20-%20Elf%20.pdf
Firstly, remember what you do, photograph your phones "guts" if you wnat
I, like in other video tutorials, started with removing 4 screws, after that gently half-opened corner gap between silver and front side and put in that gap plastic thing which came with digitizer.
When successfully lifted back off then you gonna see main board. In top right corner there is little screw which comes out hard in my situation. An you have to take off LCD connector wire (in left side) and digitizer connector (in left top corner). Don't forget after change of digitizer to put them back like they were or you will have to disassamble again !!!!
After doing that GENLEY lift main board off of screen. BE CAREFUL. YOU Have to pull of that black sticker on right side on board which connects from volume control to main board. Don't forget to put it back.
So you have the front side on your hand. Now push gentley but hard it from inside out. It is glued with some kind of glue. It seems it won't come but it comes (in that book it is showed).
So change your digitizer to new one and put everything back together.
You are done. Sorry I don't have pictures because it didn't came in my mind to picture it
I hope this tutorial will help you.
This is not for the Touch 2 but thanks for the help.
Still nto replaced it yet, phone is in bits in a box.

hi, i have dissasemblied my hd2 and taken out all the things it has as it says on the youtube video. my problem is tha i can disasembly the screen so i can see the cable which connects screen to motherboard. It must have been unpluged from the previous unsuccessful disassembly i did.
Please help!! the phone works except of the touch screen
To disassemble the screen and the mother board, you need to heat at 60°c with a heater gun and after that, it's possible to put very carefully a knife or something else between the screen and the motherbord all around the longer sides. I do this, it's not so difficult.
The bigger problem is to disassemble touch scren & LCD.
I think it's better to buy a complette assembly module replacement.
Be carefull also that if you choose to replace Touchscreen alone, there two type :
One is with soldered cable, the other not. Soldering cable is very difficult and source of problem.
I'm curently waiting for new LCD module + touchscreen, I hope my HD2 will work again...
Hi all,
I sucessfully changed my cracked digitizer on my Nexus 7 gen 1. Followed the procedure in youtube and heated my screens and used guitar wire to remove the cracked digitizer-looked good.. Cleaned up the glue on the LCD and and taped the LCD to the digitizer. I did not glue the LCD to the digitizer. Reasembled everything and booted.
I booted and everything booted correctly. Except for starting. I had to drag the lock icon over to the right to open the tablet. Swiping did not work.
The digitizer does not work with swipes. I had to touch several times to even get a response. I could touch a icon app to start it but could not turn pages if I needed to. I thought the digitizer electronics was defective, so I bought a used motherboard(suposely 100% tested).
When the new motherboard came, I rassembled everything.
I powered up the new motherboard. Half of the screen had sigguily lines and I could see the boot up icons coming up on the other half. Thinking I did something wrong, I pulled the battery connector. Rechecked all of the connections, and pushed the start button. Nothing happened. No light of any kind.
I reinstalled my original motherboard and same thing, no boot up at all. The only difference is that with my original motherboard, I heard a "bonk" sound from the speaker 3 seconds after I push the start button, but nothing on the screen.
Any suggestions from anybody? Maybe bad LCD connector. If the connector is bad, would that prevent booting?
Anybody seen this before?
Help!!!!!!
Steve
Leave it charging for half hour and press power button for 10 to 15 seconds and it will boot
Hi all,
I think I found the answer already.
My LCD flat cable is broken. Using a ohmmeter, I found most of the flat gold traces have a break in them. Probably from my dis-assembly of the
and assembly of the LCD too many times. i am ordering two LCD cables from a China distributor.
I hope it fixes the problem, I have not received the cables yet.
But the question remains. Does having a bad LCD cable prevent or stop the Nexus 7 from booting?
Steve
