Screen replacement

---

A friend has a X5 with a broken screen. Do you guys know where I can find a supplier to buy a replacement screen?

Is it the digitizer or the LCD? I was able to get a new digitizer with the metal frame for about US$50 from ebay.

I've been meaning to post a guide on how to disassemble the u8800 as well but haven't gotten around to it. I should get that finished and post it up soon.

What's the difference from the digitizer and the lcd?!

I only see one big crack on the screen, leading to 3 other branch-like cracks!

Screen works, but sometimes registers touches on it's own, and one part on the very side (where the big crack is) is completely unresponsive!

Thats exactly what im looking for stockwell. Do you have a certain buyer on ebay to get them from?

I would be eternally grateful if you could post the guide on how to change the screen. What tools are required etc.

The digitizer is the glass front. The LCD is behind it.

So, where can we get a replacement?

And will the photos/guide be posted?

My wife dropped hers so the glass cracked. So I'm going to buy this:

(unless someone finds a better deal).
A disassembly guide would be great

Sorry guys I've been busy with other things. I'll get the guide up asap!

It's not very thorough but it should help a bit.

Cheers Stockwell. Now to buy some tools off Dealextreme and Screen off ebay.

Excellent, thanks. I've already got a jewellers screwdriver set with 20-something bits, what other tools is likely to be needed?
