Hello,
I have an 8525 with a broken digitizer (LCD OK). I replaced the whole unit with a new combined LCD/Digitizer. It is a pretty straightforward repair. It took me all of about 15 minutes (you just need a #6 torx and a jeweler's phillips).

Just in case this happens again, I purchased a new digitizer (only). I want to remove the old digitizer from the LCD screen and replace it with the new one. The problem is: the digitizer ribbon cable is attached to the LCD screen, possibly soldered but I can't tell. Are there any instructions anywhere regarding the digitizer removal and installation?

Thanks

Im new to all this whats the digitizer exactly?

The digitizer is the top portion of the screen. It's what registers your stylus' contact on the screen. It lays on top of the LCD and it looks like 1 piece, but its actually two. And for those wanting to know if the digitizer is soldered, the answer is no. It's held in place with tape, but it is easier to just replace the combo instead of just the digitizer. Most often then not, when removing the damaged digitizer, it will crack and may possibly damage the lcd, or so I've read. I just recently cracked my lcd, so i got a combo and switched it out, just to have a scratch on the digitizer the following day. That's life. Waiting for my next new combo to come in the mail.

You'd be better replacing both the lcd and digitzer as 1 unit than try to unglue and reglue the digitizer onto your screen. A lot of hair pulling and screaming involved and no guarantees it'll work. For the $100Aud I'd just replace the lot in one hit. As markus1959 said its a 15 minute job but stuffing around with just the digitizer is a major hassle. Even Mike Channon (he's the hermes hardware guru) advises against that unless you're really into pain and frustration....
Cheers...:)

Hi,

from where do you all get a new LCD (+ digitizer).

My LCD is cracked (digitizer OK) so I need replacement.
I live in Switzerland and I can not find a shop with a reasonable price.
