Broken digitizer

[yzf600]

I have one of these, but it's the newer model ME572C. Has anyone found a digitizer part for it? Mine's busted and I'd like to replace it. Seems such a shame that everything works fine, but the digitizer is broken.

Have you ever tried screen for Nexus 7 2013 edition which are identical ?

Thanks for the info! I happen to have a Nexus 7 2013 and see the similarities. I took apart the memo and see the digitizer/LCD assembly part number is indeed the same as the nexus 7 2013.

I had fleeting thoughts of just taking my working Nexus 7 and do a main board swap to get the better silicon. Most of the screw holes line up, but there are enough differences it won't exactly work.

Oh well. I'll still try to get a replacement digitizer/LCD and get it working again.

May you tell me how to disassemble memo pad? I plan to do it later in case the battery stops working and I suspect the battery is same as Nexus 7.

Yes, the battery looks identical. Same connector.

To disassemble, you insert a plastic pry tool (spudger) into the seam where the raised glass panel touches the case. Pry it open and you will be left with 2 parts: the entire tablet back and the touchscreen glass with all the guts attached to it.

Just a follow up that I bought a 2013 Nexus 7 replacement digitizer and screen from http://www.fixez.com/ and the tablet is good as new. Just take the old glass removal slow and steady with the heat gun (while wearing safety glasses to prevent the eventual shattering of glass getting into eyes).

Thanks for the tip about the identical screens.

Now I'm looking forward to getting lollipop on the tablet once ASUS resolves their bugs with the previously released code.

Hey there. One question before i'm ordering a new display to replace the broken one, is the frame from Nexus 7 2013, similar with the Asus memo pad 7, model ME572C??
BR.
Ala.

I want to do the same and replace my cracked screen and broken digitizer, but I haven't seen any disassembly guides on how to do it. If some one could give me a link id appreciate it!

EDIT: Nevermind, seems like it's exactly the same as the nexus!

Can you confirm the 2013 Nexus 7 screen worked on the ME572C?

The Nexus has rounded corners and the ME572C has 90 degree corners.

Did you replace just the glass?

While the tablets have different radius corners, the screen/digitizers are identical.
