Replacing Lcd Screen caused by wild friend

[Jeffreyr1]

Hello,

yesterday I installed some new games on my p4350 and let a friend play with it,
unfortunally he pushed to hard with the stylus and the screen got damaged :@. the screen is still working but it got a dent.
now I wanna replace the screen myself, anybody can give me instructions how to do this?

Also i wanna know if the soft layer on the top(not the screen protector) and the lcd, is one thing.

Scuse me for butting in but I have both just bought a Herald with a broken screen AND have done a few screen replacements on Wizards, Blue Angels and Hermeses.

On this Herald I had just assumed that you could basically follow the video on YouTube which shows how to replace a screen on a Hermes? I see that the PDF file is quite complicated and is designed to show you how to take off every tiny part if it has failed. The screen replacement is far easier that this, right?

Secondly, I see that you can buy the screen separately from the 'protector' which is I assume the bit with the hole in on your unit? I have to say, I had never seen these replaced separately before: Is this something special to the Herald or can you replace this digitizer separately from the screen on other units as well? If so, how on earth do you get it off the screen please? And is there a reliable way of getting one back on? (There is no reference to this in the pdf manual but the digitizers are suddenly being sold on ebay for about five bucks)

So the question is whether this is still as difficult on the Herald as threads on the Hermes suggest?

I've opened my Herald, and to reach the screen you have to disassemble the whole thing.

It's not that difficult (albeit while following the service manual, since there are a lot of tricky areas like removing the Keyboard), you just need to have patience and not rush it.

The digitizer or screen is not functioning, before i take it all apart as shown anybody no of a way to bypass the touchscreen setup.

before trying to change the digitizer...

(and i know this is crazy but worked for me after replacing the cable going from the screen to the board)

install a screen protector and try again!

I had the same problem after opening my Herald, and right now the screen only works if i have a screen protector on. If not then nothing happens

As I have now posted on a different thread, the digitizer replacement is actually very easy. You just slip a razor blade under the tabs and lever it off after removing that yellow tape on the back.

I agree. It was not difficult at all. I took apart and put together the phone a few times after just to develop a feel for it.
We have a tendency to get nervous about it but if you relax it becomes easier.

I have a a extra digitizer that I never used. If anyone wants it, pm me.
