wii lcd screen factory

This is just the LCD screen, not the touch sensitive digitizer that sits on top this LCD in the assembled Wii U gamepad. Product arrived in good condition. There are no install instructions, but several videos on youtube of people installing screens. I bought the Wii U for Christmas 2015, and they must have made some slight changes to the internal parts as compared to the videos I found on youtube. This screen still works perfectly, the installation was just slightly different than the online videos I found. The only notable differences are that two of the wires on the circuit board that were plugged into the circuit board on the videos are soldered down on mine, so I couldn"t disconnect them. And the bracket holding the LCD in place was screwed down differently so that took some time to figure out. As other reviewers mention, it is semi-challenging to install. You need to make sure you have a tri-wing screwdriver of the correct size.

A great game that showcases the Wii U"s ability to be a great gaming console. Set in the streets of london, you have to defend your life and resources from the undead. Use the Bug out Bag to supply yourself and prepare for what lurks around every corner. This is the most mentally challenging of any survival game out there. I thought the multiplayer mode was too limited. For example: You can only have two people playing at a time with only two modes to play. I bought this game because ive had my eye on it ever since the wii u launch and I have to say overall it doesnt disappoint.

Not sure if this due to weather changes or what but theres strange watermarks under the lcd screen. Kind of looks like when you push in on an lcd screen monitor or like that glare gasoline gives off the ground if that makes sense. Kind like a strange chameleon color look.

I already returned my wii u once(glad i didnt buy anything from eshop yet) and i opened this one and just checked the gamepad quick without leaving fingerprints. I saw what I described above on the screen and just quickly packed it back up.

If so what your describing may be the plastic they put on electronic devices to help protect them.

i should also add, the last one i returned has this problem as well. It was much worse than this one. Strange thing is it didnt have the prolbem for like 5 days and then out of no where appeared all over the screen. Must be something with climate change.

What you have there may be Newton Rings. The "gasoline" like mark you see is caused by interference between rays of light reflected by the top and bottom surface of the very thin air gap between the two pieces of glass. In Wii U case its one piece of clear plastic and glass. Although figure 1 shows an ideal situation- it gives you an idea of why Newton Rings form on the Wii U gamepad. Google Newton Rings for more images.

Now why would the Wii U"s gamepad do this? Well because of the nature of the resistive touch screen. Unlike capacitive touch screens which has two straight glass panels, resistive has one lower glass panel and the upper is a flexible plastic screen (In figure 2 it is Polyester). Like trying to stretch out a really big bed sheet with someone so its perfectly flat, the middle of the bed sheet will alwase be "domed" down due to gravity. My guess is that the Polyester upper screen (Assuming it is polyester, which is a plastic) domes downwards a little (due to gravity? electrostatic force? Not %100 sure.). The upper plasctic surface being curved and the tiny air gap underneith causes this circular interefernce pattern we call Newton Rings.

Also hot blowdryer and plastic isnt a really good match... seriously though you can only really see it when the pad isn"t displaying anything, no biggy. I"ve been using mine like like that since launch, it really not noticeable in my opinion. The call is yours to make if you want to take it back, but I personally wouldn"t try to fix it by heating or anything, it may warp the plastic top Resistive Screen surface (and void the warrenty).

In some cases, you may see light and dark circles show up on a touchscreen. These circular reflections are called Newton Rings and do not have any effect on the proper functioning of the LCD panel or on the touch functionality.

Due to temperature or pressure differences, the film used for the resistive touch screen may not perfectly adhere to the glass layer of the LCD panel. This can cause reflections showing up as coloured rings.

This ones gamepad also had that water mark on the screen. So this is normal. Like people said on neogaf, this can be dryed out and will eventually go away.

I"ve seen this on an old mobile phone I repaired ages ago, it"s where the resistive touch layer is in contact with the actual LCD. When I pulled the touch layer away, it went. Reseated it and it was fine but if I touched it in the area where it was, the water marking would come back. The problem was caused by the sticky foam strips that stick the two layers together. I bought some new foam strips and the problem was cured. not the easiest of jobs though parting the touch layer from the LCD.

When using the Wii U GamePad in Wii Mode, a Sensor Bar on top of the Wii U GamePad is turned on. If there is another Sensor Bar being used, such as one connected to the Wii U Console, then there can be interference.

The optimal distance between the Wii Remote and Wii U GamePad should be between 1 and 3 feet. If you are operating outside of this range, please move within it and try again.

Because the Wii U GamePad"s Sensor Bar is used with the Wii Remote, the Wii U GamePad needs to be facing the Wii Remote. The Wii Remote may not work if it is pointed down 45 degrees or more, such as when the Wii U GamePad is placed horizontally on a lap, table, or other flat surface.

Remove any possible sources of interference from behind the Wii U GamePad (candles, Christmas lights, mirrors, windows, or any other reflective surfaces).

Unplug the Sensor Bar from the back of the Wii U Console until you are done using the Wii U GamePad. Or, if your Sensor Bar is not stuck to a surface and is easily moveable, turn it away from the Wii U GamePad while you are using it.

The Sensor Bar on the Wii U GamePad is located at the top of the GamePad. If the Sensor Bar placement setting is set to Below TV on the Wii U Console, changing this setting to Above TV may resolve the issue.

I was happy with the product itself. Includes both a replacement LCD and replacement touch screen digitizer glass. The reason for 4-stars instead of 5-stars is that it was meekly packaged with bubble wrap and a padded envelope and consequently the ribbon cable on the LCD screen was solidly crimped. Ribbon cables are very sensitive and it left me with the choice of having to do all the work of replacement just for a 50-50 chance the screen would be good. Even worse, it was crimped in the opposite direction of the way the ribbon cable needs to flex inside the Wii U gamepad controller. Ugh. I order touch screens replacements occassionally (mostly for broken phones) and whereas 2/3rds of the time they are meekly packaged like this one, 1/3rd of the time they come in a proper solid plastic-molded container to prevent exactly this sort of damage. But with such a large (and relatively heavy) screen compared to a 4-inch phone screen... good packaging becomes even more important. Although most people should not bother installing the screen with a ribbon cable in such a condition I didn"t want to wait and go through the effort of a replacement without trying it, and fortunately the screen worked fine. However, because the ribbon cable is now flexing against the crimp, there"s a small chance it will eventually fail. Fortunately, the price is so good I will accept that small chance.Took 9 days to arrive with the free shipping and included the needed Y-tip screwdriver that all Nintendo products use for their external screws. The Y-tip screwdriver was of good quality.I did not utilize the touch digitzer glass and instead opted to use / transfer the original Nintendo one. If you don"t need a to replace the digitzer you"ll want to keep the current one, otherwise you have to go through the extra significant step of trying to extricate the moulding off of both sides of the older digitizer to transfer it to the new one. Plus, 3rd-party digitzers are rarely as good as factory ones. Again though, I didn"t test out this digitizer glass.The LCD screen itself I found to be of high quality (bright and crisp) and had the proper metal slide catches on the side that made it an exact replacement.I would definitely order from them again as I am happy with the product, and the listing was very clear this included both the LCD and digitzer glass + the Y-tip screwdriver for a great price, and it arrived in a reasonable time. Just the anxiety of having a very damaged-looking ribbon cable from the get-go due to the mediocre packaging was not at all welcomed. Hopefully they will address this in the future.There are plenty of youtube videos on the replacement process, but none of them were perfect. Aside from checking out a few videos, here are my tips:1) Whether you use the replacement digitzer, or are able to salvage the old one, you will need to seperate the glued black rubber in between the old glass, and the old LCD. Ideally, you should use a hair dryer to warm this up. If you mangle it, it"s hard to get the little bits of rubber out from between the glass and the LCD when you put them together. It"s very important to get all dust and particles out.2) There are two 4-wire (super thin... 1/2 cm) ribbon cables that connect to the Wii U gamepad controller, one from the digitzer screen, and one is for the power connector to the LCD screen. Being an experienced laptop and phone tech I can tell you these attach to the circuit board using the oddest flip-up-release tabs I have seen *very long and narrow*. They flip up from the rear end (the oppose side of where the cable plugs in). Exactly none of the videos on youtube showed this very delicate operation. Use a plastic pry tool to flip up the rear end of this long-thin ribbon cable connector.3) Getting the volume switch on the top/rear of the gamepad controller back in, is tricky. It took about a dozen times.4) Be very careful with the wires near the volume control, it"s hard to place them to not get squished when you put the cover back together.5) You absolutely want to transfer the ribbed plastic moulding stuck to the digitzer glass if you are going to use the new digitizer glass, and ideally should transfer the rubber from the inside of the glass as well, or replace it using two or three layers of double-sided Scotch sticky tape.6) Make sure the digizer glass and LCD are perfectly aligned. Again, I didn"t use the replacement digitzer but the replacement LCD was 100% size-perfect with the original, so the original glass certainly fit on perfectly 100% flush on all edges.
