Hi there all Shift owners ,
I have just replaced my screen protector as the original one is a bit scratchy and got many lines on the left scrolling up / down area , when i peel off the original screen protector , it left a sillicone glue residue on my touch screen . It is messy and ugly and very very sticky and the sight gave me a shock because it is all over and very very sticky to the screen . Then i checked with my local Htc people , a new touch screen cost Usd265/- plus labour charges is Usd 22/- , and i got to back up all data or else it will be deleted away when they replace this screen , it is very very expensive . Luckily i started scratching the glue out by using only my finger nails , little by little , a line by a line , it took me about 5 to 6 hours of hard labour , also rubbing away the scratched glue with my fingers and a piece of tissue paper , no water was used , then finally it was all cleared away , then i install my new screen protector and it is done now . i tested the touch screen n it works fine , i got no choice but to put in this new screen protector because at least it will only scratch the protector and not the actual screen from now on for my daily usage , so beware when u change a new screen protector . i didn't use any liqiud cleaner , thinner or anything else as i am afraid to smear or damage the screen also . thks for reading and cheers - jimmunsw
why dont you just use a simple tool called ALCOHOL PREP? or maybe use FLAME FLUID like ZIPPO FLUID.. use a clothe and pour some ZIPPO on it, then wipe on the screen to clear the stickiness.....................
Thks for yr info - b3ngz , i didint try these liquids earlier because i am afraid it may blur more of my shift screen , i guess it's too big a risk for me to try and test , so i just use my fingernails to slow-mo scratched the glue/gum out . I think different type of manufacturer screens will give a different reactions to using these zippo liquids . Thanks for yr reply anyway , cheers , enjoy our shift

Good luck as whn replacing the digitizer you will most likley break the LCD.
Where I work we have recently begun replacing digitisers on a number of HTC models, the Blackstone has a good success rate on average, we break the lcd in a few cases, the blackstone and diamond are the most difficult to replace sucessfully, we have found that carefully heating the digitiser helps to soften the double-sided adhesive tape used to stick the digitiser to the frame, and carefully using a thin blade, such as a scalpel or razor blade to separate them.
However it is a difficult process, and the risk of damage is quite high without specialist jigs and tools.
Good luck, and take it slowly and carefully.
...I insist
My opinion (i have replaced the screen successfully and I am familiar with transfer adhesives): if you are not a professional, don't replace the digitzer only but get a pre-assembled LCD+digitizer. it looks more expensive at the beginning, but at the end you'll save money AND time...
Hi. i just make this mistake, first i buy only digitaizer, i start change i broke the lcd, after i order the lcd only. i start fix together, everything ok, buth the digitaizer dont working. i conect everythink, 4 times i check and nothing, wath is the problem. i read manuals wath movies, and i dint find answer for my problem.
Please help.
yeh after getting the lcd and digi away from frame i made the mistake of peeling the digi off and finding out its got double sided sticky tape which will never look the same unless new sticky is aplied which i dont think we can do, so i bit the bullet and ordereed a pre asemmbled lcd and digi for £54
Any ideas how to glue preassembled lcd+digi to new housing? No sticky tape there.. maybe a link where can i buy such a thin tape.. cant find it in local stores

I did the same the other day, ordered a new screen waiting for it to come. Bargain at £28. I think lying to them to get a new screen is a bit harsh behaviour its your fault you dropped it, and should be your responsibility to fix it at your own cost.
let me know about this screen is worth to buy if u get it , btw gorilla glass should protect the screen ...
what do you mean gorillas glass should protect the screen?
Yes I think its should ... if not so what is it for?
Yeah to a certain extent but its not indistructable, mine dropped from 5 foot onto a tiled floor, and the glass didn't break, just the screen underneath, which is pretty strong IMO.
Hello zinqzinq,
i have already swapped an lcd on my streak. easy to do. I have ordered my lcd also in china and quality was perfect...
some tips:
take attention to ALL cables, special the little cable for the buttons are sensitive.
remove Mainboard before removing lcd.
use a hair dryer to make double sided sticker, what will hold lcd in streak, warm before remove lcd
sure you will know what i mean, sorry for my bad english...
Good Luck
regards
I'm waiting for my replacement screen good tip mate thanks for that

HI everyone ,
I'm currently using a micro-fibre cloth to get rid of fingerprints . But sometimes theres too much grease(oil) and the cloth fails . I'm using a
'laptop screen cleaning solution' called "iclene" (LOL)
it's alcohol free and anti-static .
The question is : Is it safe ?
I mean newer screens hav some anti-fingerprint coating don't they ?
p.s:btw the solution works great so far. I use it on the cloth and the screen is crystal clear [for a while] . My screen is wierd to touch for about a minute and then its ok . been using it for 2 weeks and no prob .
is it an easy enough job the remove and change the full galaxy s2 housing ?
Mines is a little rough looking and can see online the housing cases can be removed and replaced.
Worth buying?
Thanks
Im not sure if you need to take the screen off the top housing bit.The middle housing is easy enough to change as long as all the components come off ok.They are taped in and bear in mind other people have removed then reinstalled components and faults appear.
I once tried to pry out the vibrating module(is a unit that does other things I cant remember) and it basically split in half because the tape stuff that held it in wouldnt release the bloody thing.....lol

well...i guess out of vids, tuts n' stuff that if u want to replace full housing of s2 you need too pry out touch screen with amoled and all hardware aswell....i've broken gorilla glass but amoled luckily still works fine....BUT..,i opened my s2....ripped all parts out of it....i mean all parts.....and came to touch screen part where i had to heat it up from front part and when i thought i heated it up enough i tryed to pry out gorilla glass.....BUT....due to cracked glass it started cracking even more(and gorilla glass &amoled are bonded together)...,so i stopped and put it back together before amoled cracks....i was so lucky......because i lost only my touch keys(back & menu) due to another crack that appeared but amoled is still working.......so....i think if i'd have a non broken glass i could detach and pull it apart easily....and eventually put it back together....it's not that hard really....those parts...e.g. vibrator module, sensors & stuff....they are bonded on housing with double sided tape...and it's pretty strong....
but if u're an expert...you can do it....you just have to be very careful to not to break any of those parts....
so....if i were u...i'd give it a shot....and i'll replace my complete touch screen as soon as i receive my payment and order it on ebay....then i'll try to detach old broken glass from amoled & i'll try to keep it alive...I'll make a video aswell...

Hey guys my z ultra just slip from my hand
It fall onn small size stone nd now I just got a small round deep scratch there
Screen is working fine no issues but I think the protector need to be
Removed but as it vill be removed the Sony logo vil also be gone so there is any one cancelled.me what shd I do now plz
What you should do:
Calm your tits and remove the damaged protector, then put another one on.
But, unless you really love brand names, then don't remove it and have it like you do.
Simple.
Hi. There is no problem. On US You can order new ASF. It's hard to put on screen and cost is 10 $ but if you want ori ASF its no problem
I removed the plastic film because it's damaged. It's been a hassle to tear it off bit by bit, and I have to remove the residue glue, and I put on glass plate afterwards.
I have been wary about losing Sony logo, but it doesn't matter anymore and I like the plain black look of the front.
