Hello.
Unfortunately i broke de screen of my nexus. Ca someone who have passed for the same situation say how much is to change the screen officialy by Asus?
It´s better chenge the screen or buy a new one? I already have an LG Gpad but if i solve the problem i give the nexus to my daughter.
If you're up to it, changing out the screen+digitizer is actually not too bad. I bought a replacement combo on Amazon for $60ish. There are some guides online which are pretty helpful and it took me a total of 30 min to do. The toughest part was removing the bezel from the glass.
That being said, I have seen some used Nexus 7's on CL for as low as $60 so if you're comfortable with that, it is another option.

This past weekend I had to go through horrifying experience having to deal my nexus 7's screen cracking. Long story short, my girlfriend, younger brother and I were hanging out in my room, I had left my nexus 7 on the left side of my bed and got up to get something in my room, mean while, my obvious younger brother decided it would be a good idea to sit exactly where I had left my nexus 7...if only he had stayed in the chair that was in my room. Well, my nexus 7 happened to be facing front side up and when he sat on my beautiful tablet, the screen cracked... the 50 dollars Gumdrop Drop Tech Series Case I had invested in proved to be no match to his rear end.
I sat there quite silent for a couple minutes, no words to say, it was just as time itself had paused to morn for my loss. Well anyhow, I ordered a brand spanking new 32GB nexus 7 last night and I'm expecting it to arrive tomorrow . I was fiddling around with my nexus 7 and I managed to enable "show touches" in the developer options by attaching a mouse to my device. I noticed that top left corner of the screen gave touch feed back.
My question is why the small portion of the touch screen responds to touch when the majority of the screen doesn't, this anomaly (from reading various forum posts, the nexus 7 screen isn't suppose to respond to touch once the screen is cracked) leaves me pondering if there was something I could do to make the other portion of the screen to work. I was originally looking into screen replacement options, but from what I read and saw first hand, it's better to buy a whole new unit (like I had mentioned I had done in the earlier text) than to purchase a brand new digitizer. The other option would be to find a bricked nexus 7 on the internet and salvage the screen, and trying to find a low priced bricked nexus 7 on the internet is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.
Now, I'm a college student (majoring in Computer Networking System Administrations ) and blew 3/4 of my savings for a new unit (I'm poor!). If there is no financially feasible method for replacing the screen enabling being able sell the device for higher price, how much do you folks think I could sell it for? Keep in mind, my cracked nexus 7 is 16GB model and is unlocked (rooted) and is in pretty the good shape despite the cracked screen, the actual display has not been damaged, it's just touch digitizer that is not working properly.
Thanks for reading my lengthy post/ramble
So I take it your brother who broke it won't be compensating you for breaking your tablet? I would be pissed, he should at least pay for some of the cost of the replacement.

Well he's actually going compensate me with 50 bucks so that's nice.
Hi, I have exactly the same problem and had the same idea. If i can calibrate the digitizer to exactly 50% of the original dimensions I could use the working area of the screen to operate the device. Did you find a way to do this?

no offence intended but anyone who breaks my tablet, family or not would be compensating me 100% plus a srry beer thrown in.
Good afternoon.
Currently need for a good source to buy a white D801 LCD+Digitizer + Frame from.
Already replaced my screen 2x.
1. due to the Ebay LCD having dead pixels...that source ran out of white screens and refunded the $$. (Gadgetfix)
2. The next screen I got from another source (smart.usa) is even worse with washed out colors and a darker bottom of the screen. Currently debating whether I want to exchange for another one of their screens or abandon these Ebay sellers altogether and find a better OEM source.
Can anyone assist?
OEM Replacement
I just went through this process and went through 5 screens before I found an Amazon seller that had a quality replacement. The screen matches the OEM that I was used to.
I can't post a direct link, as I haven't posted enough. But the seller on Amazon that eventually worked out was Etopaces Inc, fulfillment by Amazon.
Now might be a good time to order, it is about $25-$30 cheaper than when I ordered a week ago from that same listing; frustrating.

Man!!
Thank you.
Don't want to go thru that again.
Read my HTC Sensation posts if you search my name for a good laugh.
Will return the ebay screen and order from Amazon.
Did you get one with the frame?

Yeah, it was the full assembly, so I was able to plug and play. Just ordered some 2mm double sided tape on eBay to seal everything back up.
Hopefully everything works out, just know that you aren't the only one who ran into issues with screen replacements. I started questioning if there were more issues with my device, but it was just the poor quality screens that were being sent.

Thanks again for the heads up.
Promptly removed the defective screen and have packaged it for return
Will update back here with full details once I have a chance to install the Amazon screen.
Just got my new screen from Amazon seller 8090team.
First off the packaging was amazing.
The seller even promised to test the screen himself after hearing my story and rushed the screen to me even faster than the tracking # said.
Paid about 68 including the frame with a few extra for shipping.
Let me be the first to say the screen is better quality vs the 2 ebay ones I had.
My original oem screen on the phone had one the best lcds I've seen in the market and I've seen plenty of first and 2nd gen LG g2s enough to tell the difference.
Will go on record and confirm the Amazon screen is better. If I had to do it again I would have gone this route from the beginning.
I will say the aftermarket screens do not have oliophobic glass like the oem screens do. I noticed this with both the ebay and Amazon screens.
No seller lists this as a feature.
Not a dealbreaker but would love to have the option for it
After using my screen for a couple weeks now I notice :
The viewing angles are not good like OEM.
The head on quality is amazing (looks literally as good as the new Galaxy S6...had then side by side last week) however I wish the viewing angle was just as good as the OEM screen.
Going to decide today if I want to remove this one and exchange it again.
I'm the meantime I may take my original perfect OEM LCD and see if I can use professional tools to remove the digitizer glass and replace just that piece.
I swear it seems like only then will I be happy lol
Hello guys! My LG G2 (d802) got cracked and unfortunatly my touch got partly damaged and the phone is at the current stand unusable.
As I am pretty dependent on having a working phone, I bought a galaxy s6, however I miss the development which the LG G2 has with masters like @dorimanx and @Cloudyfa.
So, I want to repair it and I wounder if there is any people in here who have done it whic have any dealers of a new g2 (d802) screen to recommend? Any thoughts on how hard it is to repair the screen on G2, and good vidoes on how to do it are highly appriciated!
Hello,
Seeing as though no one has replied I will
I have replaced the screen on my G2 a couple times, along with my partners Galaxy S4 plus dozens of others, I repair phones for a bit of extra cash. IMO the G2 and S4 are what I would call easy to repair, if you are confident you can be careful enough I say go ahead.
I buy screens from eBay and various online stores, I have never had an issue with a replacement off ebay. You can buy the screen by itself or you can buy the screen already fitted to a frame, if you get the one in the frame, while it is slightly dearer, it saves you alot of time removing the broken screen and fitting the new one to your frame. All you would have to do is remove everything from your phone and fit it to the new frame. Watch a couple videos on youtube on replacing the screen on the G2 to get an idea.
BTW my G2 was the first phone I replaced a screen on and I had no issues
Thanks! I will probably order a g2 screen on ebay, hopefully it will come before christmas :angel:
I have changed the galaxy s3 screen before so I probably have the "skills" to repair it, I hope.
If you have replaced a screen on an S3 then the G2 should be no trouble at all
Good luck mate!
After 2 years and 1 month my Pixel C got the split screen and black screen issue and seems to have died. I spent an hour on Google chat seeing if they could resolve the issue but they wiped their hands and said get a local repairer to fix it. The problem is no local repairer's are able to fix it as Google don't make it anymore, so they don't have the parts! I need a new tablet. I don't want to go down the Apple route if possible. Does anyone have a recommendations for cheap, powerful rootable tablets 10 inch in size? I was thinking about the Huawei Mediapad M5, but after Google's announcement yesterday I am not so sure. Any idea's?
At this point, Samsung is basically the last bastion of powerful Android tablets. I don't think they have unlockable bootloaders but I'm not 100% on that. The tab s4 has a SD 835 and the s5e has a SD 670. Both have similar cpu performance to the tegra X1, though the GPU will be worse on both. That said, they both can be had for around 400-600$ depending on spec. Tablet size I believe is the same, but the screen is bigger and oled. More RAM and more storage by default. I wish there were more options, because I too was looking at the mediapad m5 until the other day. Now I'm looking at either one of these Samsung tablets, or just picking up a used pixel c. Hope that helps a little.
If you don't want a Samsung tablet (I can't stand Samsung) then you might be better off just buying a used Pixel C off of eBay. They are going for between $150 and $200. I think you are going to have trouble finding a better deal than that.
There are some interesting tablets out of China using iPad and Microsoft Surface screens. They are cheap and you need to be careful about finding one that has a community of supporters. TechTablets maintains a list of recommended tablets that have been reviewed. You have to understand that you are not getting something of the quality of a Pixel C or iPad. That being said, you get a ton of bang for your buck. Especially if there are community-based ROMs available for them. https://techtablets.com/recommended-chinese-tablets-brands/
You also might want to check out the Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Plus if you want something that is getting active development on XDA developers. It uses a 16:10 screen which is kind of a balls aspect ratio for a tablet in my opinion but it has decent guts and can be had for $285-$300 on AliExpress. I just got its 8" little brother, the Mi Pad 4. The MIUI OS that it comes with is not horrible but it's a lot better once you install an AOSP ROM on it like Havoc OS.
Thanks for your input. I have decided to get the Huawei tablet, so we'll see what happens. Oddly since Google told me to do one and I was unable to get it fixed by only local suppliers I found a video on youtube showing the problem and a possible (maybe temporary) fix.
It involved lifting the top of the screen from the back and adjusting the display ribbon cable. I tried it, but couldn't do it and cracked the screen in the process (hairline).
The day after Google emailed and said they were assessing my chat with them and asked if there was any liquid damage to the tablet and to send them 4 pictures of each side of the tablet (front, back and both sides).
Why do you think they want to do that, and if they were going to give me a refurbished tablet do you think they still will if I explain my story with a link to the youtube video? Cheers for any replies in advance.

I am curious, did you ever hear back from Google?

I did. I sent them the pictures of my device and explained to them how I got the crack, which I got when trying to follow this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb3By2Z-Zt4
They said as it has physical damage they would not do anything. Even though I explained the damage was done trying to fix the device as they or no-one else would. They didn't even offer to look at it, as the problem is the ribbon cable for the screen, and me trying to open the device up will not have affected what was the issue in the first place. Google's customer service is abysmal. Apple would not treat its customers this way IMO.
Odd. Sorry that went ****ty for you.
A year ago I tried to fix my Pixel C's stuck power button and cracked the screen badly. I told Google what happened and they sent me a new Pixel C. I didn't purchase a protection plan and it was more than a year old... I don't get it. ?
I'm selling my Pixel C 32Gb in like new condition with adapter & cover through Amazon EU Fulfillment. It is bootloader unlocked and comes with latest Pixel Experience installed. Shipping & payment will be done through Amazon so if interested, send me PM for the link.

Neither do I. Not even a cursory offer to look at it and then say it was my fault. It's like they're saying 'we dont' make tablets any more so if you have any problems then tough ****'. I now have the Huawei Mediapad M5 and as nice a tablet as it is it's not quite the same
I am keeping an eye out for a new tablet but I am pretty picky about it so I might have to wait. I essentially would like the Pixel C again* but faster and with more Android appropriate hardware (think GPS, haptic feedback, better touch screen, cameras that don't entirely suck in every way possible). Either same size with larger screen (smaller bezels) or a bit larger overall would be good too. The new Samsung tablet with the SD855 is something I'll look at. The rumored Nvidia tablet also will merit a look. But for now I will save my money.
*This to me means a decent keyboard accessory, mostly stock/Google Android, open bootloader, and higher quality components.
I've been debating what to upgrade to for awhile now. Then I noticed on eBay there was a seller who is unloading a batch of near new Pixel C 32gb. I sniped an auction at the end and got one for $122.00 US. The tablet is almost new and running fine. For the price, I am going to stay with the Pixel C for a bit longer.
If this is an option for you guys check out eBay. It prolonging the inevitable, but the price is right.
I also hope that mine will run forever. I have it now for about three and a half years and it's still going strong. If mine goes down, I think about getting another one before I try any Samsung tablet. I can't stand anz of the current models, to be honest.
What about Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Plus? It has Snapdragon 660 and I saw a price of $225.
Hi All,
Since this is the 2nd time I've replaced my screen, i thought let's share my "real life experience" with replacing the screen, and if it is worth it, since the phone is kinda cheap. This is not a technical how to in replacing the screen. just my experience ( i'f you need some assistance in that, i'm happy to help) .
so first of all, if you have no experience in replacing the screen, it might be too expensive to replace. If you have the skill set to replace it yourself , it is definitely worth it.
The first time i replaced my screen i bought a screen from Ali express for around € 30 , and after replacing my screen i thought all was fine, however, the brightness level of that screen was simply too low.
so i tried finding a decent replacement, and even reached out to Motorola in order to get a decent screen. Sadly they wouldn't send me one, and only want to do the repair themself. The worst thing, I had to send it to England, wait out the quote for a repair and they couldn't tell me how much it was approximately gonna cost. ( kept getting the answer "the engineers will make an estimate" )
Since I'm an Advocate for Right to repair, the Motorola answer is something I'm really unhappy with. So far this is the only downside i found in Motorola, i somehow thought They were different, .... I guess i was wrong.
After searching for a while I found a reseller that sells the Motorola original Screens ( including the body ) for € 60
I think that repacing it is worth it, but only if you can replace it yourself, since it takes quite some time, and a repair shop would probably charge more then € 75 for the repair, excluding the screen.
so far I'm happy with the results, and i will be able to enjoy this phone a while longer.
