Broken screen

[default_user8]

Does anyone have a screen they took out of a device that is cracked or scratched baddly I could have? My screen has an annoying chip i'd like to see if I can fill with one of these windshield repair kits, but i'd rather not try it on my phone. I'd like to test it out first.

Just remember that the LCD has the digitizer above it. You may find using the windscreen repair kit may interfere with it, especially if its like a paste or something. The digitizer is stuck to the LCD with glue that might leave a small space between it & the LCD. If it is aciidently filled at a certain place you might find it has a part of the screen that is registering a tap.

Still only way to find out is to try but if I were you I'd get a replacement LCD (with Digitizer). They have been reported on ebay (states) for approx $25US.

Cheers...:D

LOL, J/K.
Yeh i see what your saying and i thought about that. There is a kit that that i'm wanting to try is not a mix epoxy like most. It's thin like water and you have to let the sun cure it. It's crystal clear and i'm only looking to take a rough edge off a chip and one scratch that keeps catching my stylus. But then again if a dig is only $25USD on ebay it might not be worth the trouble. But then again i do like to tinker and if you don't try you can't find out right?

No worries, I'd probably get the spare 1st, then screw around. Gotta wait a couple of weeks to get the new LCD in if something went wrong but it would only take minutes to fix if you have the spare on hand.

I looked on ebay last night a new screen w/digi is $54USD. Half of what i paid for my phone on ebay. I'll proabably pass on this project for now at least. I know this is off topic but do you know if there's a VISTA compatible kitchen? I've flashed 6 diff roms over the last 2 weeks and i keep falling back on schaps. I'd like to try to decompile it though and take out some of the stuff i don't use to free up some memory. I posted a new thread in the upgrading forum asking this question, but since i already have your attention here and you seem pretty sharp i figured i'd ask.

FWIW,

I have a brand new (verified working) Hermes Screen (with digitizer) that I ended up not needing. I'll ship it standard USPS (with delivery confirmation) to anywhere in the US for $40.00.

First PM & payment gets it.
