Just slipped out of my pocket and the transparent plastic that sits overtop the screen shattered. Couple questions
(1) Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement? Can't find any options. Obviously sending it to yotaphone for repair greater than the cost of a new phone doesn't make any sense.
(2) If I remove the cracked plastic, will the epaper screen and digitizer still work?
Hi,
As far as I know, the glass is fixed to the e-ink display, so you'll need to replace both. It can be found around 60USD on AliExpress for instance.
You'll find two videos showing how to open the Yotaphone 2 on YouTube. The process is quite easy: remove a screw next to the loudspeaker at the bottom of the phone (hidden under a cover), unclip the e-ink screen, disconnect two connectors and that's it.

I finally didn't avoid dropping the Blade, although it is in a silicon case wearing outer protector sticker too. It fell face down i think on another item (they were in a fanny pack). Unfortunately, there was a crack all across the display when i checked it out. So i took the phone apart, found the display part that i need in ebay. The thing is every part either clips or zifs, except for the display itself and the volume button. The display was glued on the frame with some kind of stickers, i wonder how i should go about and install the new display, because it appears the two stickers are on the frame and not on the display so i guess there will be no stickers on the new part and the sellers specifically state "instructions not included, make sure you know what to do yourself". I have found instructions on outer screen change, but not for display change. The same applies for the volume button which was glued on the frame. Should i use some kind of glue for the display? And if yes, what kind of glue? Or should i search for these special stickers? And where would i find these, if they re not even mentioned anywhere i looked at? Thanks for any info guys..
I recently broke my 1 month old S5 LCD. Outer screen is just fine, but the LCD has paper thin glass, and it unfortunately met it's demise after a misplaced toss. I ordered a new LCD digitizer assembly and screen adhesive, then disassembled my broken phone. When I disassembled it there was either adhesive, or gasket material that was on top of the plastic flaps that go around the back and recent buttons (I assume adhesive), and also around the home button which I assume is important for functionality, and for water resistance. To make a long story short I assumed that this material would be provided with the screen adhesive so I removed the material from the back and recent buttons (it was already slightly damaged on one, and almost all peeled off of the other. I left the home button material because it seemed weak and I didn't want to break it. Also, some of this material had been peeled off/torn off surrounding the home button. After reassembling without the adhesive/gasket in these areas my phone now presses back or recent at random and it makes the phone almost impossible to use because it will exit out of programs or just start doing crazy stuff all on it's own.
My question is, is there somewhere that sells the adhesive/gasket for these three locations, if so where, and if not are there any suggestions of an alternative to the stock material. I am wondering if anyone has had some experience with this issue could chime it. I greatly appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
Dustin
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.
Hi, I have problem with my N4 screen.
For some time I watching the display began to peel off the glass at the corners (right, and little bit in left).
The following photos showing the problem:

I am the first owner (purchased in March 2013 on Google Play UK) and I never open case. So this is not a problem of some poor repair of display, or purchased refurbished version.
Is there any possibility to repair without replacing the entire screen?
I think of two ways to repair:
- Heat the display (ie. hairdryer), try press the inner side of whole screen module to re-gluing layers between glass and the display
- Try to inject glue in the corners (maybe a syringe needle) and squeeze layers.
Anyone have idea how to fix it?
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.
