Yesterday I fell with my bicycle (stupid I know ) and my screen is busted.

The touch and everything works, but the screen is 90% black...

I found a replacement, cheap, on dealextreme. But I was wondering if there was a guide or something about replacing it, hence I don't wanna mess it up more

[WAWA72]

yes dealextreme has, but it will never come.

i buyed 2 pairs, after waiting more then 10 days, the displays was not at dealxtreme arrived. i cancelled my order

You know dealextreme takes about 2-3 weeks right??

I have friends who ordered stuff and always received it after 2 or more weeks.

I'm just wondering if it's a tricky job to replace a screen, and if there's a guide around somewhere. Google only gives me guides for digitizer

[WAWA72]

I orderd and their stands 10 days (!!!!) waiting for supplier


I thinks that is nor normally. I canceeld, and buy one from ebay (New) 35 Euro and waiting 3 weeks. But it works.

Next display i have, i make a How to video

[Sluysen]

Could you just give a bit of info on how to replace it?

I suppose it's just a matter of switching the 2, but I don't know how to unattach those ribbon connectors. And hence they look so brittle I don't wanna end up breaking it.

I saw there were 2 on the screen? Total of 5 in the phone, do they all need to be disconnected?

yes, but price!

[WAWA72]

If the displays coming, tell it us.

[WAWA72]

Here a small How to for you:


All screws out

Open the Blade

Open the Fascia Connector

Open the Display Connector

Solve the display:

From the right side of the display Connector you do push a toothpick inside (half length) and let it inside

Next toothpick push it an the left side from the connector and let it in.

The third 1cm from the second toothpick....and the 4th ....

If you are at the end of the display you can with you Fingers the display pry


I do it, more then 10 times with 10 Blades, it works without any problem.

Only what you never will forget, befor you work with my tootpick trick, ist open the Connector and slide it out.

I repaired more then 30 Blades here in germany, believe in me.


The new Display build in is very easy:

First you connect the Connector

After that, you fold down the display. It will fit 99% in right position.

Buddy open

the flap open

digitizer open

new digitizer build in

flap close


its very easy, i do it so many times

next time, i make a video from this, includet my dust protections

Oh well, replacement digitizer didn't fix it so I've definitely screwed something on the mainboard. Gutted

[WAWA72]

I think you get a faulty replacement. Thats normal, from 10 are 3 faulty. Ask you seller for a new one. I buy only from mpas (ebay).

[mamboboy]

I honestly think I've done something to the actual mainboard. When I messaged the seller about the first he said he's never had a report of the "A Grade" digitizers not working and both of the ones he's send me have been in pristine condition

I stupidly didn't look at this thread before trying and used a screwdriver to reopen the phone to clean it again thinking it would be quicker. I'd put money on me scratching a contact

[WAWA72]

I make you an offer to repair it.

Send it me to germany. I repaired a lot blades !!

[mamboboy]

That's very kind of you but shipping rates, etc to Germany will make it a little pointless really.

If I took a photo of the phones board and posted it here do you think you'd be able to spot if anything has broken off?

[Sluysen]

@WAWA thx

so far I managed to get it open( tough job hope I didn't break anything )

But i'm not sure on how I can disconnect the digitizer, and then the screen itself. This connector:

It's like a flap holding it down, just lift it with your fingernail...

[WAWA72]

Di you buy only the digitizer or digitizer includet the Fascia?

The second Variant is the better Idea.


For all Flaps use your Fingernails, no screwdrivers !!

For connect the Connector u can use the Fingernail and  a toothpick.

[Sluysen]

It's not my picture it's from the first post of this topic.

I don't think i need a digitizer hence my touch still works, only 95% black lcd display.

I disconnected the digitizer one

but the big one from the screen doesn't work.

I removed a metal brace from around the screen, but the screen itself doesn't move. Is that glue'd or something??
