Broken Display (OLED)

[Guest madnav]

A friend of mine has dropped his zte blade and the display got cracked..

I'm not talking about the touch screen module but the actual OLED Display.

I opened the phone and the display seems to be glued to the motherboard.

where can I find a replacement display?

My options of purchase are from UK or india.

I will try my luck ordering TFT display display from Dell in india who sells blade as XCD35.

Any guides about how to pull the display apart and do the necessary replacement would be very much appreciated. :mellow:

This is actaully very similar to what happened to me, and ended up getting a replacement off orange.

It is clearly physical damage..

would orange honour replacement for this? :/

i stay in India and i would have to send the unit back to UK to a friend for this. Thus need to confirm before I spend on shipping.

Alternatively, if replacing the display panel is easy and doable then I wouldn't mind DIY.

Yeah, it is cleary physical damage BUT if you tell them that your phone was charging on a window sill and it was sunny and the screen cracked (there is a known fault with OLED Displays where the phone display is weak and they diagnose the phone as faulty and they will send a replacement with Orange Courier (U.K Address) for nothing they will collect the phone in exchange for the new phone (refurb) you keep your battery, cover, sim card and micro sd card.

If it were me I wouldn't bother, according to other posts people are sending back with custom roms still in place :mellow:

bumping this up.

orange is not offering replacement. neither it is ready to do paid repair.

my friend is not able to find any replacement in UK around are where he stays.

The display originally is oled.

is there any way i can revive this phone?

where can I get a replacement display?

if not, then would it be possible to harvest a display from another broken phone? (will start looking for those then)

If you find any details of the screen please post them up. I am actually looking for a Blade with a broken screen to see if I can fit a larger one for a project. Also if you get a minute a picture of the screen connections would be much appreciated.
