Broke Screen and Digitizer. Tips on where to purchase. - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Everyone,
So I broke my nexus 6p last week friday as I was out with friends and kinda fell on the floor and dropped my phone in the process and then it hit the floor really hard, I picked up the phone to find out the whole phone and digitizer is broken and couldn't use the touch screen at all. I need to perform a repair on my phone as I am using my old little htc desire 510, I did buy a screen but It looked off all together such as the whole screen looked alot more thicker and the sides were a lot thicker than slim and was falsely advertised that it is AMOLED boy I was wrong but luckily managed to get a refund out of it. Does anyone know where they have got good genuine screen/digitizer from before I'm not too bothered if its amoled or LCD I just need a working screen to be honest.
Another question, If I were to get an LCD What is the difference between AMOLED or LCD, I know that Amoled has got that super black look to it and brings more colour into the screens but risks getting burn in on the phone. I'm not too sure about LCD Would both be up on par with each other or not?
Thanks for reading.

@ZuneYT AMOLED is so much better then LCD. Too many times you get bright spots or see the lights on the side. Maybe I've just had bad phone's lol. See if you can pick up a bootlooped or dead Nexus 6p cheap and use the factory screen . Got to be enough out there with all the issues it has.

Haha, I know that AMOLED is so much better than LCD, If I did buy LCD It would be a difference to me and will most likely miss the amoled screen but is it really worth buying another 6P just to get the Amoled screen back?

Have you looked at the cost of buying a new 6p? I broke my N6 about a year ago, and it was ~$200 for the screen/digitizer. I got the N6p I'm using now on eBay for $140 and it was in excellent shape, no issues to speak of.

brocken screen

right i dropped my brand new exec which id claimed on insurance doh! now i have a blurred screen, the touch part still works an i can still make out whats on the screen but there is a crack in the corner & the whole screen is almost white, do i need to replace the whole lcd or just the touch screen top part? iv been looking on ebay and have seen just the touch part going for about £12 whereas the whole lcd section is roughly £100
Seems like you have a broken lcd, even if some touchscreen are mounted on top of the lcd screen on a separate fine glass sheet, since you say that the digitizer (touchscreen) still works, the crack will almost surely be in the LCD screen's own glass, so no hope for you, go for the entire screen and change it if you can of have done by a qualified technician.
Sorry for the bad news and make a very deep research at Ebay, you might find it for less, might be buying another universal whose defect is not the display, it's not an uncommon thing to see defective PDAs for sale there.
bye

[Q] LCD replacement

SO, my brother dropped the phone and slammed the car door shut. the phone still works and the glass (yay gorilla glass, lol) is fine. but the inside lcd screen is cracked. so i need a new screen and digitizer. i looked at the the steps and the replacement seems fairly simple.
the problem is finding the right vendor. all the replacement parts say "LCD" screen. but isn't ours super amoled.
the 2 places that have replacement parts are
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/samsung-fascinate-i500-lcd-touch-screen-replacement.html
but i read some reviews and they are quite sketchy.
and the other is ebay.
i know these both of these aren't OEM but i guess i just need the phone to work.
does anyone recommend where to buy the screen. price and reliability wise.
I would definitely stick with an amoled screen replacement...even if you have to get samsung to do it because I wouldn't think that you can just replace the amoled screen with an LCD one willy nilly and it work as intended... especially considering the amoled is a completely different screen type... im in no way an expert on this though its just my 2 cents on what i would personally do.
the problem is that i dont know where i can buy the oem part from samsung. and the screen on repairs universe says super amoled (LCD).
i looked on craigslist and the cheapest fascinate was 260 dollars.
i guess i will try the repairs universe product.
Things like this make me glad I have insurance.

replacing the screen
So I was in the same boat until about 2 hours ago. Last Saturday I dropped my phone on the ground when I was getting out of my car and did not notice it. I was visiting my friend and noticed i did not have my phone so I thought i left it at home. Long story short, either i or the person who parked in the spot i was parked in afterward ran over my phone when it was screen down on the pavement. to make things worse by the time i backtracked far enough and found the phone it had snowed about a quarter inch. I thought everything was okay until i noticed that the top left hand corner was extremely cracked. Surprisingly enough though the phone still worked. Heart broken because one of the things i love to do is to put my friends quality of screens to shame with the quality of the fascinates screen.
The link you posted to repairsuniverse.com is the same place I ordered my screen from on Saturday night. I was worried that I would not get the screen I needed or just the glass and not the LCD.... yada yada yada... In my hasty research i did before I bought the replacement screen, I seen somewhere that it was the super-amoled touch screen that came originally with the phone. So after looking for any competitive pricing and finding none, i bought it.
I got the replacement screen today and it took me about 2 hours to replace it. It feels like the same screen, the touch response is the same and the amazing clarity is there as well. I don't know if you can order the glass of the screen separate or not. It took me 2 hours to replace the screen because it was a pain in the arse getting the old cracked screen all out. It came out in like 100 pieces. Not like the you tube video that was essential to my successful transplant. When I was examining the new screen, I did notice some samsung markings on some of the hardware on the back of it. I do think the screen that I got from them is an OEM part. Not only because of the samsung markings but of how the screen was matching up color wise everywhere with the old screen. But I did not see how it could be sold as 2 different items. Everything matched up great when installing as well. And it does have the verizon and samsung logos just like my original screen.
The price was worth it to me since i scored the phone off amazon for a penny. I am very impressed that the damn thing was even usable after being ran over by car. My htc touch pro would have never survived
Needless to say that I have working almost like it as good as new. The bottom buttons are all persnickity now, I might have missed taking off the back plastic on the screen in that area. I don't know. the buttons were more responsive on the cracked screen than they are now, so i don't think that it is the side effect of being run over by car. So I might have to take it off and check that out, the rest of the screen is just like new with looks and response. I may just be blowing the buttons out of proportion because i am looking for anything that I may have done wrong with the install.
I would go with this screen if i was in your shoes. Good luck I hope it works out.
and
I guess they are separate parts, I just looked at the sight and noticed this
Full Screen Assembly. Both super AMOLED (LCD) and Glass touch screen digitizer pre-installed.
after switching them out I know i don't have the expertise to put them together, unless another handy you tube how to video was done!
thanks turtle, your post encouraged me to buy the part from repair universe.
i was worried because i read reviews and they were really shady (screen comes broken in shoddy packaging and they refuse to give you a refund.)
how in the world did you get the screen to stick to the phone. did you use your own adhesive glue or use the stuff already on the phone. i kind of ripped it all off when i was taking off the screen.
wow thanks for the very informative post, I'm not in this issue right now but I have had friends crack a screen. Good to know its pretty straightforward.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Teardown

http://www.myfixguide.com/manual/samsung-galaxy-s6-teardown/
Doesn't quite show if the Modem is a separate chip or onboard the 7420.
my 2 cents
Was just about to post this. Thanks!
The battery seems cumbersome to replace. I hate heating things up and removing the glass in fear of cracking it. However, once past that, it looks pretty standard. I'm glad there's no more glue underneath that all.
Being careful, it can be "easy" to change the battery
There is a YouTube video about The Galaxy S6 teardown

Parts list for SM-G920I
I wish it was a little easier to repair, ala the Nexus 4, which was rather simple to take apart. But really, anyone who has taken apart phones before shouldn't find it too difficult to repair this device. But it looks like most everything is soldered to the motherboard. What will happen if the usb port breaks?
Hi. I just broke my S6 display, just the protection glass ,the touch is working flawlessly even where the display is cracked. I was wondering what do you suggest, to change only the glass (Oca glue /gel ?) or to replace the whole display meaning glass and touch? Please help guys. Later today I will post a picture with the display. Thank you.

I only had mine for 5 days, dropped it, and cracked the glass.... a week later, dropped it again, and cracked it even more! I can't believe how slippery the G6 is. Anyhow, I ordered a good case the same day I got the phone, but it's stuck at friggen customs for over a month now... Soon as I get it, going to get er fixed. It's $210 locally rite now to get the glass replaced, or $150 for an insurance replacement. Regardless, going to stick with the messed up screen til I get the case, still works great.
Hi. I found to replace the glass and touch together with 150 . Replacing just the screen I think it's cheaper but I didn't hear good things about this procedure (high possibility to crack the touch or the gluing of the touch and glass it's very hard to get like new). Where are you from? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...y+s6+parts&dpPl=1&dpID=51nFR7qIK9L&ref=plSrch
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S6. The other day, I happened to break the front glass. The LCD is still fine and the phone works, but the glass is all cracked and a little sharp. So I got a Samsung Galaxy S6 replacement and then followed the video guide to fix it. Now the phone just like a brand new phone.

[Q] Replace digitizer or whole screen?

Long story short, I have a LG G2 VS980W with a busted digitizer and glass. The LCD screen is fine, as there is no discoloration or dead pixels.
If I get it working, it will be used as a toy. I don't want to make a huge investment in it, hence not getting it done by someone else, but I would like it to be as easy as possible. I have no issue going into the components and swapping things within the phone itself, and I have looked up a number of dissemble replacement guides and videos and deal comfortable doing it myself.I have no issue opening the phone, but I never swapped out a digitizer or screen.
Would it be better for me to try and swap out just the digitizer, or get an already assembled screen, digitizer, and glass to replace it all at once?
I'd say you should get a new screen. I got one for pretty cheap Ebay and it's working great.
The screen is pretty easy to break/crack while removing the digitizer.
I bought a Z3 to do this but the screen was shattered (my father, who did this fixes phones/laptops)
Even for experienced people, it is a tough job.
There's a high chance of cracking the glass and ending up wasting your time and money.
I am typing this as I wait for a whole LCD + digitizer assembly for the Z3 lol
Changing this kind of digitizers takes a LOT of patience, a good heater, and the correct tools.
I personally opened like 10 phones already and always perfect, thoug I know my limits and know that I don't have what it takes. ( the phone whould end up smashing the wall for sure )
Seems like spending a little more for the set is easier and safer in terms of me damaging something with this little repair.
Just ordered a replacement LCD, digitizer, glass, and frame off E-Bay for the LG G2!
It was $55, $5 more then without the frame. Having the frame not only makes installing it easier & I don't need to worry about the cracks that are on the current one!
It's coming from China, so hopefully in about two or three weeks I'll have a brand new toy!
Thanks for the input sjk971005 and Chonwey!

Looking to buy a cracked note 4

Hello all. I'm almost going to buy this with a cracked screen. I went through youtube and saw videos where people ruin the lcd while trying to fix the glass only repair. Is it always this hard? Is there a sure way to replace the glass only? Or one would need to replace the whole lcd (which is really expensive)
Thank you

Better to just replace the whole thing I just got mine replaced almost paid about 200 dollars the screen and the lcd is glued together I asked my cell phone repair man and he should me the screen and why it usually doesn't work out its because they are literally glued very very closely together trust it's not worth just getting the screen replaced because u will most likely have touchscreen issues yellowing issues etc ...... If u don't plan on upgrading your phone anytime soon I would say go for it I just did it because I plan on using my note 4 a little longer we have a lot of good development and marshmallow is near mate soon. ...
Yeah, you are better off replacing the entire front panel of the Note 4 or any Samsung flagship device. As the screen and display on Samsung flagships are all glued to together so replacing just the screen is a very hard job.
