Hi everyone,
Yesterday I checked that gorilla glass 3 is a big ****. Now I have my op2 working but with some scratches in the external screen. Touch is OK and the LCD is also OK, but I want to change it because I suppose that with a little pressure over the screen it will broke definitely. I'm looking for a digitizer replacement but I only find people changing both: LCD + Digitizer.
I've found that http://vifocal.com/lcd-digitizer-display-touch-screen-assembly-replacement-for-oneplus-2-two-smartphone.html and it is ridiculously cheap for a LCD + digitizer, so I want to be sure that for the op2 the way to change that part is completely changing the lcd and the external screen. It's that true?
Thanks.
Yes the easiest and best way fix screen issues is to change the entire combo.However if you search you will also find only front glass replacements without the LCD for a much cheaper price($3-4).....

....but again that requires professional tools for replacement and you need to play with loca glue while reinstalling and the process is relatively difficult and not everyone can do that.

This is my first post here and though i read similar posts on this subject i would
like to read your opinions on this one.
I accidentally dropped some water on my touch hd and my display got damaged.The phone worked fine and so did the digitizer but the problem was that the backlight of the display was dead.At some point the backlight turned on but when i tried to input the unlock code it turned off right away (did this several times).I knew that i should replace the lcd (and the digitizer just in case).
I bought the lcd and the digitizer seperately and i managed to assemble the phone back using the service manual.Since then when i turn the phone on I hear the starting sound,i get the vibration then after a while the screen with no backlight again displays the "tap here to configure your phone" screen (after the hard reset),when i tap i get no response.
I checked the connections many times and i also used a second digitizer with no success.
Is there a possibility flashing a new ROM will solve the problem?
If so is there a way of flashing a ROM when the phone's screen is not usable?
Waiting for your precious opinions/suggestions/knowledge
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Flashing the ROM won't solve an obviously hardware problem.
If you changed the LCD and still have no backlight, then either you bought a defective screen, or the problem is elsewhere, maybe on the main electronic board... Which would be bad news.
BTW, I wanted to change the digitizer in the apst years, but its not provided with the glue, so I had to buy a whole assembled screen + digitizer.
How did you manage to glue the digitizer on the screen ?
I aligned the screen with the digitizer and then i used small pieces of a special thin and trasparent tape to hold it in place.The tape holds the screen tight and it is barely visible, it also has the advantage that you can seperate the lcd and digitizer anytime you want with ease (though you have to be very delicate when applying it to get a good result)
I asked for a replacement of the defective lcd and i hope i will get a new one.
Hi
Yesterday I Replaced my Speaker, when I opend my HD2 I accedently lifted up the Glas from the LCD. I think the Glas is the Digitizer too. So now when I use the Touchscreen it clicks Randomly or slides randomly. What could cause the Problem and can I repair it?
thx for your help
if im not mistaken the digitizer is attached to the lcd glass facing down. might need to replace
you can replace the digitizer without the lcd panel, but it isn't easy to replace it because you need to seperate the digitizer from the lcd and the lcd can breake. it is easier to replace the digitizer with the lcd panel in one peace.
unfortunately it is more expensive than only the digitizer.
if you replace the digitizer you have to stick it to the lcd panel and it must be in the right position(as before)
After a few tests I found out that not the Digitizer is broken. Its a little tape like thing on the side of the screen(digitizer). Is this possible?

Hi
I've dropped my HD2. Everything is working, including touch screen, I can unlock the phone, I can answer the call, but screen is black, not broken.
What should I do? Does the lcd screen replacement will be sufficient? In that case, could the screen be ok, but some other display "processor" could be dead? I'm asking because I'll try to this on my own.
Could simply be the lcd cable has slipped slightly but probably more likely an LCD replacement needed.
You need remove rear housing & have a look & make a decision from your findings/testing.
hello
I've got a little update - lcd screen is working well - I mean it displays the image, the only malfunction is backlit. Right now when i use flashlign I can actually see whats on screen. Do you have experience or think that backlit connection can be repaired? Do You have any schematics for hd2' lcd ?
I suspect new LCD required by sounds of it. LCD can not be stripped for repair so after basic inspection of external connection replacement is only solution & not expensive due to falling cost of HD2 parts.
Hi there,
I have Samsung galaxy s4. I have broken screen which is not working and it's completely dark. Am I right that I need to change digitalizer and LCD screen ?
I am looking to buy from ebay co uk, which one would be the best the genuine or other brand ?
There is many videos on youtube, is it that hard to replace on my own, as I have to take out camera etc. Is there any safety tips what should I follow ?
Thank you.
1. Yes. Where the screen has gone south you should have no issues changing out the screen. If you buy just the screen you may have difficulty removing the screen from the midframe because of the adhesive they use, but heating the broken screen with a hair dryer should loosen the adhesive. If you're purchasing a complete assembly (screen + midframe), be sure the one you get matches the device you have. With only one exception I'm aware of, you cannot mix and match midframe and motherboard.
2. ALWAYS go with a genuine part. The cheaper alternatives tend to not use gorilla glass and shatter easily.
3. Removing the motherboard is relatively easy, as long as you remove all the screws and disconnect all the connections. Perhaps the most difficult part is in getting the back frame and speaker off, as after removing the nine screws you have to separate the halves of the phone by sliding a plastic pry tool between the screen and chrome-colored bezel.
Hey guys,
broke my Nexus 4 screen a few years ago - now I wanted to replace it just so I have a backup phone.
I removed the glass with some tools, and while doing so another layer at the bottom of the screen came off. (exactly the part that was broken and didnt respond to touches)
It now shows solid white color when the phone is turned on, and I cant find any info wether this layer
is supposed to come off while changing digitizer and glass or not.
Have I borked this completely? Would like to know before I waste money on the Digitizer + Glass instead of just getting a new front frame.
Edit: Okay found out that this is the polarizer which is pretty cheap on the internet.
