@Magnus - I would check for any dust that could have gotten into the connector and reseat it. If your old digitizer functioned at all, you may want to try hooking it up again just to confirm it still works, and then try the replacement again. If your old digitizer still functions at all, it is probably something wrong with the replacement and you can return it.

Hi! i bought a new LCD and Digitizer from you and switched my old cracked screen out carefully. The LCD works fine but the touch functions don't. What could be wrong? I can't see any damage on any cable.

The pins inside my micro USB port are mashed up. From the pictures, it is a bit tough to follow, but is this just a simple matter of replacing the I/O cable assembly?

I have a cracked LCD and immediately purchased a screen LCD+Digitizer, however WITHOUT the frame. This led me to have to use a blow dryer and peel off the frame leaving some of the adhesive on the cracked screen. Does anyone know where I can obtain the adhesive tape?

What kinde special equipment i need to replace digitizer without LCD screen?
Powerbook Medic

@tarik - you'll need to replace the whole display. You may find some digitizers for sale in places, but they are fused together with the LCD and it's hard to do without special equipment.

Hello, i was opening my nexus 7, and accidently damage my LCD digitizer. Is it possible to change it, not to have buy whole LCD display?

@cilvic/@baha - we've seen companies selling the digitizer separately, but you need special equipment to fuse an LCD back together with it. Also getting the LCD off the broken digitizer in one piece requires a miracle.

@baha where have you read that they can be separated?

my lcd is fine but the glass and digitizer are not, i have read they can be separated and fixed. Its dumb to pay 150$ for a 200$ product. There has to be a cheaper way

Why wouldn't you want to show people who to take apart the screen and digitizer? There are numerous amounts of people searching the web for new screens and you leave that part of your tutorial out? just show how it would be done-what's the big deal?

Thanks - that's what I thought. Why in the world would the digitizer be available when it cannot be replaced without the screen? Defies logic - ugh!

@Steve - they are fused together.

My digitizer is broken but my glass is not. I have seen the standalone digitizer for sale at more reasonable cost than the assembly. My question is whether the digitizer can be separated from the glass and replaced. I read something somewhere that they are "fused" together. Thanks.

I just purchased the LCD/Digitizer from you last week. It did not have a frame on it, ergo my question.
Powerbook Medic

@Rick - we sell the frame with the LCD, so we don't go that far.

Dan asked 3 months ago but got no answer. How does the frame separate from the LCD digitizer. I've got many pieces laying on my kitchen table but don't see how to get the frame off. HELP!!

@Tom - not many people are getting rid of their Nexus 7s yet so there's not really an ETA. We buy new ones if we have a lot of demand for them. Best thing is to sign up for the in-stock notification on the product page.

@Rick - they are used or pulled from a brand new one. We have not found a supplier for the standalone digitizers yet.

I like the tear down guide but you didn't complete the last crucial step - addressing the very common issue of damage to the Nexus 7 screen requiring the remove of the LCD/digitizer from the frame. Probably pretty simple but would have liked to have seen it in the video.

Is the digitizer screen going to reduce in cost in the foreseeable future. Right now the cost is just to close to a new unit, but I would like to fix the broken unit I have.

@Moy - we don't have a repair guide specifically for that repair, no. As far as the warranty, most of our parts come with a 1 year warranty, you can go to the product page for more details.
Moy

Ohh I see. Is there any video that shows me how to do that? What about warranty? Does it come with any?
Powerbook Medic

@Moy - you have to take it apart to the point you can isolate just the LCD and Digitizer, then put it back together with the replacement you purchase.
