need to replace lcd touch screen on camera factory

A very common camera repair performed today, no matter the type or manufacturer, is the replacement of the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen. At the outset of this walkthrough a few things must be stressed; a disclaimer if you will. Trying to replace an LCD without proper knowledge and experience can be very difficult and sometimes hazardous. Pulling electronics apart and seeing how they work can be fun for some, but it can easily result in further damage and far more costly repairs. Nine times out of ten, when an LCD is being replaced, it is physically broken due to damage that was likely caused by some sort of trauma (from dropping etc).

Cameras are very tightly packed little pieces of technology and generally the LCD is attached to and/or part of a lot of other integral components. Because of this, there is a high probability that there are other things broken that only a trained professional can diagnose/fix easily. Also, having spare parts on hand doesn’t make economic sense for your average consumer because the costs of replacement parts for cameras are not in proportion to their selling price.

Furthermore, camera repair facilities have the necessary testing, calibration and adjustment equipment to get cameras fully operational. Bottom line, if one does attempt this at home, there is very little to no margin for error. Keep in mind this is a general walkthrough NOT a repair guide, I take no responsibility for any damage to property or personal harm that may occur from anyone making use of this information. With that said…

The first things first, parts and tools are necessary to doing this job right. Obviously the part needed is a replacement LCD. It has to be for that particular make and model; this ensures the connections align and it fits properly. The essential tools for “most” LCD replacements are:

And now for the show, replacing the LCD! Please keep in mind this is a general many camera models are more complex and will require additional disassembly in order to remove and replace the LCD.

Location and unscrewing of all housing screws to remove the necessary housing cover(s).It is easy to strip out the tiny screw heads; many manufacturers “glue” the screws in place. If the LCD was damaged due to impact, the housing may have shifted, making the screws problematic to remove.

Proprietary screws can also be a problematic; the screwdriver may have to be special ordered from the manufacturer. Screws may also be hidden behind stickers or panels.

There is a very real risk of shock from this point on. DO NOT TOUCH ANY CIRCUITRY. The flash capacitor circuit on some models is located nearby and will give a painfull serious jolt if one is not careful.

The screws securing the LCD to the rest of the camera are now removed. These are fairly easy to find but there may be additional clips or seals to watch out for.

Connecting components (generally wires or FPC’s) that run from the LCD to the rest of the camera are disconnected using the appropriate set of tweezers.

The new LCD has a protective plastic sheet that is removed before installation. Touching it with bare hands must be avoided, potential damage could be done. It’s also in bad form to get any oils on the nice new LCD screen.

The Battery and memory card are replaced and the camera is powered on. This only tests if the LCD was installed correctly. If the camera/LCD is not working there are countless other things that could be going wrong and are evaluated. As mentioned in the beginning, there is a high possibility that something else is broken and/or needed to be calibrated/adjusted. Further testing of the entire camera must be done to ensure the camera is fully operational.

Just to stress again, trying these kinds of repairs at home, can be a great hobby for some, shouldn’t be taken lightly. Professional photographers always have a backup camera in case of any type of equipment malfunction; it’s not a bad idea.

Well, I managed to do it the hard way. When my new screen arrived I still had not located an online tutorial of any kind, so I just started disassembling the thing; fortunately the X70 has a semi-articulating screen so it was a more or less discrete part and didn’t require opening up the whole camera. Step one: remove the battery. Step two: remove five screws in the frame where the screen rides. Step three: disconnect the two (one large, one small) electronic connections that mate the camera’s computer to the circuit board affixed to the screen’s metal backing plate. Step four: remove the tape securing the screen assembly to the articulating frame. Step five: using a spudger, gently pry off the circuit board mentioned in step three. It is affixed to the metal backing plate with double-sided tape, which you’ll need a new piece of when reassembling it later. Step six: remove the old screen assembly. Step seven: do everything in steps one through six, but in reverse. Took a couple of hours, including a trip to the store to buy an eyeglass repair kit to get the tiny Phillips head screwdriver I needed. Saved a whole lot of money.

Once the edges are free of tape, remove the paper backing of the replacement glass. Make sure not to touch the inside of the glass or you"ll forever have fingerprint smudge giving you a less than perfect view.

However, if the digitizer or LCD is also damaged during a fall, that screen no longer carries value because it cannot be refurbished. Repair shops cannot sell broken LCDs to refurbishing companies; therefore, they cannot offset the cost of an LCD repair. That is why repair stores often charge a little extra if there is damage to the LCD or digitizer, to make up for that loss. Repair stores that don’t have an additional charge for an LCD repair typically inflate their glass repair price to make up for the loss from damaged LCDs. If they have one price, that means everyone is paying more to cover the cost of customers who have damaged LCDs and customers who only have cracked glass. This is why TCR separates the price of glass and LCD repairs for you! If you only have cracked glass, you only have to worry about paying to replace the cracked glass.

If your phone or tablet’s glass is shattered there will be cracks or chips on the screen itself. If it is just the glass that is damaged, the device may still function and you may be able to use it normally. If this is the case, it is likely that only the glass needs to be replaced. To prevent further damage to your device it is best to get it repaired quickly. For example, if liquids seep through the cracks it could cause permanent damage to the LCD.

Many people may continue to use their touchscreen with shattered glass and delay fixing the glass on their devices; however, if the touchscreen isn’t responsive, it could be a sign of more significant damage to the device’s digitizer which is integrated with the LCD screen.

A pixelated screen can indicate LCD damage. This would look like a patch of multicolored dots, a line or lines of discoloration, or a screen with rainbow colors. For many people, these colors are an easy way to know that their LCD is broken and that they should get it repaired.

Dropping your phone isn’t the only reason you’ll end up with a pixelated screen. Over time, your screen’s LCD may break down through regular use. This happens to other devices aside from your smartphone or tablet. Pixelation can happen to TVs and computers, too. People typically decide to buy a new device when this happens. Fortunately, with an LCD repair, you can fix the device without needing to replace it.

A black screen or black spots on your smartphone or tablet is an indication of a damaged LCD. Often with a bad LCD, a phone may still turn on and make noises, but there is no clear picture. This does not necessarily mean any other part of the phone is damaged and a simple screen replacement will get it functioning again. Sometimes it can mean a battery or other internal component is damaged. It is best to have a highly qualified phone repair technician diagnose what is wrong so the appropriate repair can be made.

Fortunately, your mobile device is fixable whether you cracked the glass or damaged the LCD. Stop by or call TCR: Triangle Cellular Repair at (919) 263-2699 for a free diagnostic and quick, affordable cell phone repair in Chapel Hill and surrounding areas. We’re always happy to help!

Smart touch screen car stereos are far more convenient to use than their analog counterparts. They allow you to change the stations or control the volume just by touching with your fingertips instead of turning knobs. Some are even fitted with advanced features like GPS, video streaming, phone integration, and more!

Unfortunately, they aren’t immune to problems. The touch screen feature is often the first thing to start malfunctioning. Don’t be disheartened if you’ve accidentally broken the screen or if it has suddenly become unresponsive.

Let’s learn a bit about the major problems of touch screen car stereos. It’s important because you will be aware of the issues you may face in the future and be able to quickly figure out how to resolve them.

The touchscreen is only fun when it’s highly responsive to your fingers. But when the screen doesn’t respond, no matter how many magical spells you cast with your fingers, it can get really annoying.

The build-up of dirt and dust can also cause the touchscreen to be unresponsive. If you do not clean regularly, these filths can even damage the component for good!

If there is an internal wiring issue, your touchscreen will fail to work. In some cases, you won’t even be able to power it on. This can occur due to faulty installation, which shouldn’t be that hard to fix. Sometimes, heavy vibration can cause the wires to loosen up.

Touchscreens are pretty fragile, so they are very prone to physical damage. They can break quite easily. For example, if your car jumps over a speed bump a little too hard, you’re likely to end up with a couple of cracks or, in the worst-case scenario, a broken display!

If you accidentally hit the screen, it’s going to break too. Besides, prolonged touching can create scratches which can lead to significant damage later on. You’d have to be extra careful when using them if you want them to be in one piece for a long time.

Smart touchscreen car stereos rely on software to function properly. Millions of codes allow them to perform as they do. It’s common for the software to have bugs and errors. When that happens, your stereo won’t work as expected. It will start malfunctioning until you find a way to fix the software issue.

These are the most common issues of a touchscreen car stereo. We haven’t covered all of them, so you might come across something that we haven’t discussed.

Now we’re going to address the problems of touchscreen car stereos and provide you with a complete guide on fixing them. This is a guide for both single din and double din screen repair.

Before you attempt anything, reboot your infotainment system. Rebooting often has the miraculous power of fixing technological devices, so you might get lucky! Most devices can be rebooted by pressing and holding the power button for 5 to 10 seconds.

Before you do anything, clean your hands. Then proceed to remove the old screen protector. Afterward, dip a clean cloth in a screen-cleaning solution and gently rub it on the screen. When you’re done, apply a new protector. This might do the trick!

As a last resort, you can perform a factory reset to repair your device. It’s easier if you’ve got an Android head unit. Even if the screen is completely unresponsive, it’s possible to perform the task using a USB keyboard.

A hard factory reset will solve any software-related problem and fix the calibration as well. So, this should help with car stereo touch screen repair. Most of the stereos come with manuals that will instruct you on how to perform a factory reset.

If your touchscreen is completely broken, there is no alternative to replacing it. It’s actually easier than you think, and you can do it by yourself, even if you’ve never done this yourself before. We’re going to provide a step-by-step guide to touchscreen radio repair for your convenience!

The first step is to remove the car stereo from your car’s dashboard. Grab the panel remover and use it to separate the panel. Then unscrew the screws that are used to keep the stereo placed inside. Before pulling the device out, carefully separate the wires. Take note of the cables you’re removing because you will be rewiring later.

Now that the stereo is all free of wires- place it in a safe and secure location where you can freely work on it. Pick up your screwdriver and start unscrewing all the screws that you find on the surface. Then open up the front panel.

You will notice numerous locks on the body of the car stereo that you will have to unlock. This can be done by applying a little bit of force in the right direction. You can use the panel remover too.

After the chassis is wide open, you will be able to see everything inside the stereo. Take a look inside. You must find a set of circuits and several wires that are going right to the screen panel. Now, gently detach these wires.

You must disconnect the wires that are connected to the touchscreen the same way. Depending on the placement of the motherboard, you may or may not have to remove the screws from the motherboard. Make sure the touchscreen is completely disconnected from the motherboard.

The touchscreen is usually attached using glue or an adhesive instead of screws. So, you’re going to have to loosen the adhesive before removing the screen. As soon as you’re done, the LCD will be completely exposed!

Now, clean the LCD using the screen cleaner gently to get rid of all the residual dust and debris. The microfiber cloth will come in handy so use that to get the best results. You don’t want to press too hard, though.

After you’re done cleaning the LCD, now is the time to install the new touchscreen. You should use a high-quality and strong adhesive like double-sided adhesive tape for mounting the new component. Cut the tapes into thin and long pieces for getting the best results.

Then peel one side of the tapes and place them on both sides of the new screen. Afterward, peel off the other side. Now, make sure to align the screen with the panel perfectly. The wires must be aligned correctly as well. Then gently place the touchscreen carefully on the panel.

Before reassembling everything, make sure to add a screen protector to ensure extra protection from dust and scratches. This will save you the trouble of opening up everything again just to apply a screen protector later.

Remember how you disconnected everything? Now you’re doing to do the same thing, only in reverse! Grab ahold of those wires and reconnect them again. Make sure to connect the screen’s wires to the panel before joining the panel wires to the motherboard.

With our “how to fix a touch screen car stereo” guide, you should be able to fix your malfunctioning touchscreen stereo easily. Doing it yourself can save you a lot of money. However, if the problem is too great for you, you should seek professional help.

I have successfully changed my LCD Screen on my PowerShot S400! With the help of this forum, I learned of the Canon Parts Center and phone number (732-521-7230). I couldn’t believe the price of $33.02 plus $5.00 s/h. (LCD screen part number WG2-5243-000…they don’t use the numbers printed on the screen itself) They sent it from NJ to CA in about a week. I was very reluctant to even take on such a project as replacing the LCD, but after researching locally for repair options, and getting a range of $230 to $300 to fix a $499 S400, I said “what the heck�. I would rather buy a brand new camera, than fix one for over half the price. (One local store said the LCD screen alone cost $195…what a con / rip). I must admit, I did first take apart the camera initially to see what was inside and if it would be way over my head (before even learning of the Canon Part Center).

First, make an investment in a GOOD set of precision screwdrivers (sandblasted tips for a good grip). I went out and bought a 12-piece set of Sears Craftsman Micro-Tech Precision Screwdrivers ($19.99) … you only need one of the Phillip’s head and one of the slotted, but I will probably need the rest at some time, plus the set has a lifetime warranty. Sears sells smaller sets or individual screwdrivers.

First remove all of the outer screws, KEEP TRACK OF WHAT SCREWS GO WHERE, THEY ARE DIFFERENT LENGTHS!!! The outer case / covers comes apart in two pieces surprisingly easily, and the knobs, buttons, switches, etc. stay intact in the outer cases. The hardest part is “prying� the old LCD Screen out of the frame / holder. I would strongly recommend buying the new LCD Screen first, so you know what is being replaced and what is the frame that the screen snaps in to versus what is the LCD screen. Use a small slotted screwdriver to “pop� out the screen from the holder. Pry / twist the screwdriver from between the LCD and the back area behind the LCD. Work around the two ends of the LCD (short sides). If you use the magnify glass, you can see small dimples of metal that press against the LCD to hold it in place under pressure.

Remove the bottom metal plate (one screw next to the tripod hole)….wiggle this plate free…a part of this plate slides under the battery door hinge area.

Remove the screw under the flash to release the copper / plastic shield covering the entire PC board in order to get to the connector. Unplug the flexible connector from the PC board…carefully just pull it out. When you pull out the flexible connector, it causes a clip to pop up, releasing the connector. Don’t worry, this “clip� is hinged and will not fly out. It is a little tricky putting the new connector back in. It does not just plug in. Slide the connector in the slot, and then push down on the hinged clip to push down and hold the connector…it will click closed.

Re-assemble the covers, compact flash door, etc. Be careful of the spring that the compact flash door uses. One of the great things about working with a precision piece of equipment such as the Canon S400, is that it goes back together exactly as it was taken apart, if it doesn’t, you haven’t aligned / done something right…don’t force anything.

Disclaimer: I think I have listed the most important steps. Some of the instructions may not make any sense until you open up the camera to see the parts I am talking about. These steps were successful in repairing my camera, but I knew that only the LCD screen was damaged, and nothing else. I am somewhat mechanically inclined. You need a steady hand (drug addicts should not attempt this repair). If you can change a battery in a watch, you should be able to do this. Take your time; get a clean work area with good lighting. It took about an hour to do this job….less time than writing this letter.

I was motivated to write this letter to “give back to Society�. After being lied to and almost ripped off by the camera repair shops, I felt a civic duty. Here is some advice that is absolutely priceless. This whole broken LCD disaster could have been avoided for 59 cents. I had a $20 soft nylon case for the camera. I LOVE this camera because of the small size and excellent quality. My philosophy in making any purchase (no matter the price), is that it has to be used. Big and bulky cameras are too inconvenient to dash around with. I broke my camera because I forgot it was in my pocket and slammed my car door against it (I know…how stupid). A very good and knowledgeable sales guy warned me about that….people forget they have it in their pocket and run into things. For 59 cents, go to Target, buy a hard plastic soap box, used to traveling (they come in some puke colors). The S400 fits PERFECTLY in it. Cut a little slot for the hand strap to come out of and you are good to go. The saddest part of this story is that I purchased a second new S400 right after I broke the first one…then repaired the broken one. Now I have two perfectly functioning S400’s.

You possibly can relate with how much you take good care of your touch screen when your mobile device is either used, charged, placed in a handful bag, or kept in a pocket. It"s always applied with great care. This is solely because your touch screen is an essential component of your mobile device, and you can not afford to cope with the middle part of touch screen not working.

Aside from its huge cost of repair, it disconnects you from accessing your device features. In some instances, it may be partially affected or stop working completely by not responding to any of your taps. I can feel how furious and frustrated you can be. Relax, you are not alone.

You might be thinking it can never happen with the extra care attached to it. But it might be otherwise. Can you remember the countless times you tap your touch screen when responding to social media messages? Or when you listen to pop music and another genre when you"re in the restroom?

The middle part of a touch screen is the most-used section of your device"s touch screen. Although, other touch screen parts are also necessary for navigating you through several other functions on your device, yet, you may not necessarily need to fix it immediately. However, you must have a clue on how to fix the middle part of your touch screen.

The crucial task and aspect you need to work on when your middle touch is not working are to inspect if there"s no pointed crack or area on the touch screen. The touch screen is a delicate part that can be affected by a mere simple metal piering or metal attachment. Unknowingly, the damaged middle part may look like a speck of mere dust to you or sometimes colored at a definite spot.

An insight I"ll give you is to check the sides and angles of the middle part for any cracks or breaks. A magnifying glass can help too if you can"t see well. Moreover, it"s also essential you use bright lights in a dim place to detect scratches. If there"s a slight botch on the screen, you may have to consult a repairer.

Another reason why you may experience a faulty middle touch screen is through a water accident. You sometimes spend most of your time with your smartphones at home. Perhaps, when you"re engaged in the kitchen, and when having your bath in the bathroom. Even, you can unknowingly dive into a pool with a phone in your pocket.

Smartphone developers have quite been creating varieties of devices with a water resistor. Yet, for your device that has no water resistor, you need to apply extra care and know-how to detect if your middle touch screen is affected by a water accident.

Most Android"s water damage indicators can be found at the back of the battery. In instances where your phone has a removable battery, you can remove the battery and dry it with a clean cloth or other apparels. But, most of the new Android phones you buy possess an inbuilt battery.

For your device with an inbuilt battery, check for a possible color change at the Sim slot. If there"s any, you can clean it with a cloth and leave it to dry at a minimum of two days. Ensure the device is not switched on during this course to avoid a connection breach at the battery point.

Do you know your corrupt SD Card can hinder certain parts like the middle touch screen or the entire touch screen of your device from working? Yes, it can. Even though your SD card is an alternative to your internal storage device that allows you to manually store files, images, videos on it. The middle part of your touch screen which might be the most touched part of your device can seize to work when your SD Cards freezes and can lag your operations when it"s corrupted.

It"s easy to unmount your SD card without having to touch the middle part of your touch screen when you want to power off the device. Activate the airplane mode at the top bar and remove the SD card successfully.

Your smartphone can neither be used nor operated without using external attachments like the screen protector, earpiece, and a USB charger from a third-party source. These attachments are not all recommended for your Smartphone. Your middle touch screen can stop working if you use an unsuitable external attachment with the device.

Malicious Android apps are now on a rampage. Some Android apps can serve as a problem for your device if not properly scrutinized before installed. Screen bugs and glitches on the middle part of your touch screen can arise from an unsafe installed app.

A safer means to avert and cross-check malicious apps is to enable the Google Play Protect option on the Google Play Store of your device. The Google Play Protect can scan multiple apps installed on your device in a day with a waiver on other apps not downloaded from the Play Store.

Restarting your device enables your device to start afresh without giving in to the urge of removing your battery or power on/off your device instantly for an inbuilt battery. You should restart your device after uninstalling recent malicious apps if the situation lingers on.

For most Android devices, the restart icon is located in the middle of the screen. However, you can perform this by using the power and volume button. This restarts every app that freezes a section of your touch screen.

The safe mode option is another way to clear your middle touch screen off the hooks of not working. This can also be done by the method you used in restarting your device. You can switch your device to safe mode with these simple steps.

The optimum solution you can offer solely as an Android user without external interference is to Factory Reset your device if the situation persists. The Factory Reset enables your device to swerve back to its default state.

Most times, the middle part of touch screen not working is caused by due to hardware damages, which can only be rectified by a trained technician. In that case, we recommend you visit the offial service provider for your brand for assistance.

Cracked or broken mobile device screens can be costly to fix, but a few inexpensive do-it-yourself strategies can eliminate a repair shop visit and salvage your tablet or phone.

Third-party repair shops typically replace glass on a tablet for about US$100-$200, depending on the model. Replacing the tablet’s touchscreen can cost $50-$75 extra.

Replacing the cracked glass with a functioning touchscreen is much cheaper. You usually can find suppliers online for $6 to $20 for a phone. A tablet replacement digitizer can cost about $50 or more if you perform the work.

It is relatively easy and cheap to replace the glass on a phone once you get the hang of it. Tablets are a bit more involved because of the larger size and added components.

Tools might require an additional monetary outlay if you do not have a well-functioning workbench. Depending on the device involved, you need a phone opener pry tool, little tweezers to deal with small cables inside, a Torx screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver and a precision screwdriver kit.

Add to that list either a variable hair dryer or a heat gun to soften glued phone parts. Also add scissors, double-sided adhesive tape, canned air and work gloves.

It is first things first when it comes to fixing cracks on a smartphone’s screen. Often, the actual screen is not cracked at all. You may have installed a glass screen protector when you purchased the phone.

The film covers can become cloudy or scratched. They usually help absorb shock from items dropping on the tablet to lessen risk of cracking the touchscreen glass under it.

When the culprit really is a damaged screen, choosing one of the next three approaches can help you solve the problem. You might be able to repair the damage rather than replace it.

For instance, is the screen clouded or otherwise damaged from your mistaken use of harsh cleaning fluids or coarse paper towels to clean the screen? If so, there is a fix for that.

Is the screen merely cracked or full-out broken — as in massive spider cracks from being smashed? You can cure a cracked screen on a phone or tablet more easily with Sugru, a commercial product. A fully cracked screen on either type of device is a solid candidate for a screen replacement.

If your phone or tablet screen shows signs of cleaning abuse or wear from heavy handling, return its condition to nearly new with an oleophobic coating kit. This is an oil-repellent coating that protects the screen, along with adding smoothness and reducing fingerprints.

The coating, a thin layer of fluoropolymer-based solids, is similar to Teflon and is bonded to the glass. You can buy the coating kit from a variety of electronic supply stores and online outlets.

Prepare a wiping finger. The oleophobic coating’s liquid solvent evaporates very quickly when applied, so once you start, work quickly. Wrap one finger with plastic wrap or a sandwich bag. Use this finger to rub the coating liquid onto the screen.

Apply 10-15 drops of the coating to the screen’s surface. If the phone or tablet screen has a large surface, apply 10 drops to a portion of the screen, working on one portion at a time.

Wipe the screen dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Then give the coating time to dry. Do not touch the screen for 8-12 hours to allow the coating to bond to the surface.

If your only complaint involves tiny scratches and cracks on a smartphone screen or a tablet glass, there are remedies that work with varying degrees of reliability. You can use a household eraser pad or an actual pencil eraser.

Pencil erasers also work reasonably well in making scratches disappear. Simply rub the scratch left and right with the eraser for about 60 seconds. Then rub it up and down for 60 seconds.

Does using toothpaste to fill in the cracks really work? I put that fix in the category of more “mythful” thinking, but I know people who swear that this method is a cheap fix that works.

Sugru is a moldable glue kit for repairing rather than replacing cracked screens. Actually, the product was not created with phone and tablet repairs in mind. Its intended purpose is more in the line of general repairs where bonding surfaces together and filling surfaces are needed.

Depending on how badly the screen is damaged, it can be a good solution for cracks that spread from the phone or tablet screen’s edges. However, for massive cracks that spread over the entire screen — as spider cracks tend to do over time — it will be a short-term fix at best.

If your phone or tablet screen has suffered more serious damage, full scale surgery is the only option other than getting a new device. Repairing the device’s LCD screen is a complicated procedure due to the compact internal design.

The repair process involves completely dismantling the phone or tablet’s outer casing. It is particularly easy if the replacement screen comes with a top frame.

Otherwise, you may have to seal the layers to avoid loss of structural strength and moisture/dust protection. You can use either sealing pads for the size of the particular device at hand or double-sided sticky tape. A simpler solution for phone screen replacement is to use B-7000/T-7000 glue.

Before you roll up your sleeves to get started, take one huge safety step. Buy and use a static wristband and a static guard mat. This will ensure against accidentally frying any electronic components while disassembling and reassembling the devices. Disconnecting the battery is not always a guarantee that static discharge will not happen.

The first step is to tear down the device so you can assess the extent of the damage and determine what screen parts to order. Locate the model number for the LCD screen. Use this number in an Internet search to find a replacement screen.

The part or model number usually is printed on a label adhered to the sensor cable attached to the screen. You can access this cable after you separate the screen from the rest of the unit. Carefully disconnect the cable connector from the backside of the screen along the edge.

Step 2: Loosen any stuck-on cabling that is now exposed, like the camera cable. Then remove cables if the clasps are exposed. These cables simply slide out of any exposed sockets after clasps are released. The tape-style cables are often held onto the frame and parts by adhesive, so tug gently to release.

Step 3: Unscrew the Phillips or Torx screws that hold the motherboard-containing back frame to the LCD-containing chassis and place the screws in a bowl for safe-keeping. Then separate the back frame from the chassis by gently and carefully pulling the two apart.

Step 4: Remove any further cable assemblies that have become exposed by the separation of parts. Maintain visual cues as to which cable to reattach where. For example, place them on the work surface face-up in the order of removal. Or take photos with a digital camera or smartphone.

Step 5: Remove the LCD-containing chassis from the front frame or bezel and glass assembly by unscrewing a second batch of screws. Store the second set of screws in a second bowl. Remove any further parts such as the camera.

Step 6: Don’t touch the LCD face. Separate the existing, damaged glass from the bezel or front frame by waving the heat gun over the adhesive join and pulling apart. Wear gloves here because the process involves further breaking the glass.

Tip: Be patient while the heat gun loosens the adhesive and be careful not to break the bezel or front frame while removing the glass. You need the bezel intact.

Step 1: Attach fresh two-sided tape to areas of the bezel that have lost their stickiness. Use the existing adhesive where possible. Do not allow tape to overlap the visual part of the glass.

Step 2: Look for any foam padding or seals and reattach. Do not touch the inside of the glass. You won’t be able to get rid of the fingerprints after assembly.

Step 3: Thread the digitizer cable and remount the new digitizer glass to the bezel by firmly pressing it into place. Then remove any dust from the LCD and glass with canned air.

You may have to assemble and disassemble a few times. The two sets of screws use similar holes. It is easy to insert the initial set of screws into the wrong holes. You will realize that only when the second set does not fit because you already used the hole.

Replacing damaged touchscreens and digitizer panels is not rocket science, but the process does require careful attention to details. Following visual guides and screenshots can make the difference between initial success and having to make second or third efforts.

When using your phone, make sure that your hand is clean and dry. If the touch screen still hasn"t any reaction, just follow the guide to solve touchscreen not working problem.

● Static electricity, sweat, and oil on your hand result in the phone has no response to your touching. Make sure your hand is clean and dry and free from static before touching the screen again.

Firstly, hold and press the power button to restart the Android phone, then your phone may back to normal. However, the touch screen may still not working properly after restarting. In such situation, try to boot the phone into Recovery Mode to solve this issue:

● Use the volume buttons to choose "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button to confirm. Select "Yes - delete all user data" and confirm, then choose "Reboot system now" option using volume button and confirm.

However, the factory reset will lose all data on your phone, including photo, message, installed app, contact, etc. Therefore, consider clearly before using this method. (If you don"t want to factory reset your phone in recovery mode, you can try waiting the phone runs out of power, then charge it for a while, power on your phone. After that, backup the data on your cell phone, then factory reset your phone in settings.)

● The app is too big, which is unaffordable for the phone system, thus it will slow down system speed, or even cause the screen not respond to any action. Uninstall the app to make the phone works properly.

Some personalize settings may disorder phone system and leads touch screen hasn"t any reaction. If the phone touch screen is completely unresponsive, factory resetting the Android device in Recovery Mode may help:

● Use the volume buttons to choose "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button to confirm. Select "Yes - delete all user data" and confirm, then choose "Reboot system now" option using volume button and confirm.

However, the factory reset will lost all data on your phone, including photo, message, installed app, contact, etc. Therefore, consider clearly before using this method. (If you don"t want to factory reset your phone in recovery mode, you can try waiting the phone runs out of power, then charge it for a while, power on your phone. After that, backup the data on your cell phone, then factory reset your phone in settings.)

The phone failed to update because of internet disconnect or other problems, results the system is damaged and the phone cannot use touch screen. Thus, you can go to the official website of your phone to find its update firmware, or ask your seller directly for the firmware.

If the touch screen doesn"t back to normal after trying above methods, maybe the touch screen is broken. You can bring it to a local fixing store to repair the phone, or contact the aftersale service for help.
