Hey guys,
My phone is Xperia V as many of you might know.. It fell out of my pocket last night.
The upper screen above the Sony logo got a little crack, but that's not the thing i'm worried about..
The bottom of the screen became unresponsive :/
Bad luck i guess. The screen displays perfect, it is just unresponsive to touch inputs.
Also, i'm out of warranty. Not only cause my bootloader is unlocked, the warranty period ended 4 months ago.
(relocked bootloader and reverted to stock, still nothing)
Look at this quick image if you don't know what i mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I honestly don't think there's an easy solution myself, but just thought of creating a thread anyway who knows..
What to do?
3 months ago, my xv fell out of my pocket too and upper screen above the Sony logo got cracked and my screens upper part became unresponsive I took it to repair center,and the found out that the touch input was broked. Because xv uses sensor on lens, I had to replace both screen & touch input together. It cost me about 100 dollars.

Looks like i have a similar problem then I'm taking it to the service center asap, let's see what they'll say.
Were you under warranty when yours stopped working?
And thanks for the response mate

Yep, cracked mine a while ago, and it renders whole touch screen useless unlike some other phones. Managed to replace it myself, fiddley but do-able if you have some experience in taking phones apart.
really seems to be a hardware problem....maybe the colonel can give a little hint on how to repair it.
i think this is the part u need http://www.amazon.de/OnceAll-Digitizer-Screen-Display-XPERIA/dp/B00FHIO6C8
could u plz make us a 4.3 custom kernel if we help u resolve the issue?

C'mon!!! this guy already made an awesome kernel for 4.1 without asking anything!
It's not fair to ask something from him before helping. Help him for God's sake if u can!

U can operate your phone with mouse over OTG cable. Using a mouse, go to developer options and enable show touches. I saw some touch points upper of my screen around the cracked area. Btw, I was not under warranty.
Thanks for the help y all, i am taking it to the service center today, let's see what they have to say. In case repairing is too expensive, i will do it manually.

Yeah, this is what i need.. but do i need to choose a specific one? I don't know much about screens, but do i take the risk of getting a cheap TMD panel? Or does LCD screens have nothing to do panels? @colonel_lp

The digitizer and LCD are one, so yes you do take the risk of getting a cheap panel. There are many on ebay, i looked for one that had a similar code on the back to mine, which was a Sharp panel. I don't remember the code now...
The phone comes apart really easily, apart from the hardest part of getting the old screen off, (a real PITA). I used a hairdryer and much patience and shattering of glass (wear safety goggles). Clean it up really well, and you will also need to get some 3M double sided adhesive tape to stick the new one back on(really really thin strips). I would suggest assembling the phone and trying to see if the screen works before sticking it in place..
Let me know if you need any more advice.

Just take it really slowly and lots of repeated heat with a hairdryer, and something really thin to pry it off that wont damage the plastic parts.
Good Luck.

I got it off at last.. the screen is now completely unusable though.
I've looked for the adhesive tape and found two. When you say "really thin strips" do you mean 1mm or 3mm?

It depends on which part, you need different for different places. you can see what fits. I think i bought a sheet and cut pieces from it with a very sharp knife and put them in place. But strips will work also.
@NuriJ
Have you solve this? My dropped today and my upper part of screen became irresponsible.
Did you buy the new LCD and digitizer or only the digitizer? I thought, that in this phone it is only one part, but I saw some offers on ebay where were only digitizers.
Can you please tell where did you bought it?
Thanks

First do this - Take the phone apart, then disconnect the digitizer (you don't need to take the screen off to do this).
The digitizer has a small connector on it - Disconnect that too. Now reconnect both. Then power on your phone.
screen works > good for you
screen still dead > bad luck
I would highly recommend getting the LCD and digitizer in one. HOWEVER getting the screen + front cover is much easier as you don't need to take the old screen off and stick the new one back on (not that easy). And + you would only need to move the hardware.
FYI; If you have the 'sharp' type of display now, i recommend getting the 'sony' display (much better colors and contrast).
Sony displays have a somewhat similar code to this on the back: Z181FF0013

I have(had) the display from sony, this is why I was thinking about the digitizer only. So the display and the digitizer can split up? But I guess that I will need both parts because of the crack on the glass.
I can not find any offers where the code can be seen on the internet. But I will try to look closer.
Anyway, thanks for the tip with disconnecting and connecting the digitizer, I will definitely try it.
EDIT: Did you find any good disassembling guide?
EDIT2: Bad luck
This is the desired code? http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Xp...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2c7cc7b012

Yes, that's it. The display and digitizer can be split up, but i don't think i would mess with that..
Keep in mind that some uses pictures from sharp panels even though it's sony. Better ask for the code to be sure.
And also someone from another thread said that the phone most likely would not be waterproof after replacing the screen. . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169802
There's most likely disassembling guides on youtube, have a look at them
****! Just dropped my new sony display, which I had been waiting for weeks
Opened the box, took it out of the plastic and after a few minutes - dropped it and the digitizer died.
I wonder how tf that happened. Totally unbelievable and i just bought the tape some days ago. Also i won't know if it broke during shipping or after i dropped it

Hi,
Last night I knocked a small table and my girlfriends phone and a remote for the TV fell off.
We noticed that her phone now has a ring of black dots on the screen, mostly visible with a white background (E.G websites) but also from the home screen and the like.
We think she's cancelled her phone insurance, as she's never had a payment out to the company.
Can anyone tell me if its a Digitizer (What is one of these? Is it just the touch screen sensitive part of the phone?) Or the actual LCD Screen itself?
If you click on the photo it will load a larger image
Thanks for any assistance, kinda annoyed about this and wondering if I can repair myself with the parts on ebay. Or does anyone know how much HTC Charge to repair similar? Either in $USD, £GBP or €Eur, I can convert and get a ball park figure.
Hi
First of all is the phone still in warranty? If so take it back to an HTC dealer they should repair it for you for free. TD2 screens are not very good and it's a common fault. ( i had to have mine repaired after just only 3 weeks! )
The TD2 screen is made out of 2 parts, The touch screen or the 'digitizer' as you call it and a normal LCD screen underneath. You need to establish which has gone faulty.
If the touch screen still operates normally i.e the screen does not lock up or freeze and allows you to navigate normally then its the lcd screen below. If the touch screen is faulty one good way of checking is to put a piece of tape over the damaged area and try to lift it up a little to see if the marks / dots disappear and functionality can temporarily be restored.
Its hard to tell from your picture which it is..... sorry
I'm not sure how much a replacement by a dealer would cost, but i'm sure you can replace either yourself. ebay is a good place to look
Hope this helps.
I've had a reply from HTC UK who said the following:
That looks like there are a bunch of very small cracks in the screen. the black stuff is likely the Liquid Crystal from inside the display that has leaked out. If the dots get larger then it would definitely seem that the screen has got some cracks in it.
if this is the case, the standard charge for replacing the LCD is around £180 as sadly it is all one complete unit on the diamond 2, so it is not just the LCD underneath that needs to be replaced, but the whole screen assembly including the touchscreen layer and the actual LCD.
I hope this information helps you to make up your mind.
best regards,
Pete W

Hi mate,
had the same problem...
the item you psetd from ebay is not the one you need to change.
you need a digitizer, not an lcd screen.
i got one from ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=290376721935&view=all&tid=393718237019), it includes both the lcd and the digitizer, you can check ebay to find other auctions offering the digitizer only.
you can change the digitizer on your own if you don't mind loosing the waranty of your phone.
cheers
Hi,
I had already found this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Touch-Screen-...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL?hash=item5882e7ef74
Will buy in a bit, funds are a bit short today.
The Touch Screen's functionality hasn't changed at all though, no sticking buttons or anything. So I suspect that its the LCD Screen thats damaged but will follow you're advise as you're going to have more experiance than me (and its the cheaper part to begin with!)
Scrap the above post.. my g/f has just told me that the dots on her phone are bigger/worse. Looks like its the LCD Screen afterall
i still believe it is not the LCD.
the digitizer is actually sitted on a glass, and the LCD is below that. it is very difficult to harm the LCD. i also though it was the LCD (at least i wasn't sure which was broken) so i ordered both of them.
if you disasseble the phone you will be sure if it is the LCD or not.
i vote for the digitizer
good luck, if you need any help, i'll be pleased to help you..
Just to update, A few days after I posted and got helpful advice on here.. she called me up to say the dots have disappeared, and they have still gone now a few days after.
She said she put it in the office where she works, under a printer paper tray, and the office was warm. Something has (maybe only temporarily) fixed it.
I´m having the same exact problem my nephew dropped my phone, i already dissemble it because i was not sure of the lcd type, but when i looked at the digitizer i didn´t see any dots, so i´m not sure what to repair, TS or Digitizer, i allready tried with the tape to pull the digitizer, when it was apart i couldn´t see anything on the lcd no marks at all, opinions please.
cheers
Well F**K me! just bought a second hand diamond 2 to replace my xperia...
...seemed to work great checking it out... went home with the phone in my pocket... and as soon as I turn it on the touch screen doesn't work
dissected the whole phone only to discover the digitizer is glued to the bezel!
I ordered this from Ebay, will update if I got it working with the brand new housing + digitizer: http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380166349182&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

If you can make some photos of the digitizer and the lcd dissasembled maybe, but It seems unlikely to break the lcd when you didn't completely trashed your digitizer.

Also the LCD didn´t had any marks at all, but i´m going to buy the TS+LCD and replaced by parts first the lcd because it´s a lot easier to replace then if the problem persists the TS.
I will post the result later when i get the parts to replace.

Can anyone confirm the above link as being both Lcd and Digitizer? I'm sure it doesn't mention it in the listing but the picture looks like it's showing both connectors.
Most likely only the LCD that's my conclusion if you look at the sellers store.
But to be sure e-mail the seller and ask.
http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Elect...QQ_sidZ195653022?_nkw=diamond+2&submit=Search
Soooooo, as I've already posted here, My digitizer was busted on the phone I just bought... what I didn't tell was that I ordered a digitizer, then checked if I could remove it easily...came to the conclusion that I couldn't... and ordered a digitizer+housing so I could easily fit it on.
the mail brought me the digitizer today, and while knowing a better solution was on it's way I couldn't resist and try if I could make it work.
Turns out it super easy to seperate the digitizer from the bezel using a hairdryer (softening the glue) and a knife:
Take your phone apart, just the 4 screws, click the plastic center off it. Remove the digitizer cable, the touchscreen cable and the speaker cable.
now you are able to remove the green plate which holds all chips and stuff.
underneath that is the screen, lift it up gently going under it from the gap the removal of volume buttons leaves, put it away safely.
Now remove the speaker, the buttons under the zoom bar, and the power button(don't forget the the power button, and rubbery thingy that falls out of the bottom, the hole needs to be at the bottom when putting it back in).
your phone should be completely empty by now... just the front and the digitize glued together.
make the front of the phone reaaaaaaaaaallllly hot, put the knive between the metal and the digitizer (I started at the part where the zoombar is) and gently push it between the two parts... (from the inside of the phone to the oudside). Now just keep the whole thing above the dryer to keep it warm and slowly slice your way around the phone (no secret wires are there that you can cut through).
I used some random glue I had lying around to glue the front back to the new digitizer... perfect!
so the screen is like new now
ps bought this digitizer: http://cgi.ebay.nl/Touch-Screen-Dig...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45eed6effc
Thanks for that jodeltje.
It sounds exactly the same as when i replaced the digitizer on an Omnia. Really not as hard as one might imagine. Taking your time and being careful are the most important things.
Hey guys,
I came into same boat last night.
Dropped my T-Mobile MDA Compact V from 2.5ft table, Backwards (Not towards LCD) and now it has black dots on screen. I guess the LCD has pressed backwards by chip sets.
Here is a screenshot.
I think its LCD damaged but I don't have cash to replace nor device warranty.
Do you think the problem solves eventually? Coz once I had dropped sony mobile and it too had same issue but solved after many days.
Hopefully it solves.
BTW; does LCD affixed to Digitizer? by seeing service manual, it doesn't look like it is. And I afraid to get cheap hongkong LCD screens for about 30$ since they won't be true quality display. i.e blueish.
Thanks...
Best Regards
hello CRACING,
sorry about what happened to you...
from the picture i can say that you have a problem with the digitizer...
your LCD is ok.
i tend to have this problem over and over again the last 1,5 years... i replace the digitizer (or the glass on which the digitizer is attached to) every 3-4 months..
yes the ones you get from ebay are not that good quiality, but well it keeps the phone working...
if you need assistance on replacing the digitizer, i can help you, by providing pictures and istructions...
cheers
Hi,
the touch screen of my Xperia V is broken and I'd like to replace it myself. It's not the first time for me that I repair a mobile device myself, but without a disassembly guide, it is difficult for me to identify the parts that are fixed by glue. I don't want to break anything that is still working.
I already found a russian video on YouTube, but it seems to me that the display is not taken apart from the other parts of the device.
Has anyone here done it before?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I've managed to remove the display. Mainly because it was really damaged ... heating the display and "bending" with a small tool.
It's really hard as the glue is quite strong. As my replacement screen is "on it's way" I'm not able to finalize the work.
I'm kind of stuck in the part when removing the "middle, plastic" part...
display is connected to body with really strong glue. Remember that it is impossible to remove old display without breaking it. Second thing is that with new display the phone most likely will not be waterproof

Hi! I broke mine last night. How did your repair go when the part arrived? I also could only find the russian video without the screen being removed
How hot did you have to make the screen? I was thinking of using an iron with a cloth around it.
Hi Folks, I'm curious to hear how others are going - I managed to break my screen this last week, Hoping to replace it but so far taking out that glass seems to be a tricky thing - any suggestions? How did the iron and cloth go?

There's no way.... You need to buy a new housing with the LCD and touchscreen built in, and then move all your bits over. That's why the russian video of the guy removing everything doesn't remove the screen.

I just ordered this: http://www.parts4repair.com/complete-screen-assembly-for-sony-xperia-v-lt25i/ I will see how that goes. I got tired of using my old SG1 so it's time to fix the V...
Good luck. Careful with the tiny, white antennae cable running from the main board to the bottom. I twisted mine a little bit too much and the connector popped off. I had to go get a new one with much difficulty.

I replaced the screen - had it working for two days and dropped it again - cracked screen, doesn't even light up.
I now have another replacement screen and a better case - at least now I'm getting quicker at taking the phone apart....

Hi this wont work, I went through the exact same issue, and its impossible to attach the new screen properly. your best bet is to try and find a second hand screen via ebay. it has to have the "housing part with it. otherwise you are wasting your time. it cost me so much to fix mine as I ordered two screens in the end I could have bought a new phone on special....
Try Ebay, and make sure you see the one with the screen and front housing on, I am unable to port the correct link on here as I haven't made 10 posts yet.
Search for the following on ebay : Genuine Sony Ericsson Xperia V LT25i front+digitizer touch screen+LCD display
This should let you find the correct screen
Look at the picture you will see the side housing for the front is also installed, the one you have ordered is the incorrect one as its only the LCD and the Digitzer, without the front housing that it gets "glued" onto. You can see the main difference where the earpiece is its shown as black, hence the mesh is there. that would be the correct one to order. Unless you have the means of getting yours glued back on the same way as the factory, I see you will struggle to get it done otherwise.
so a month ago i had a massive boo boo and actually managed to trap my phone in the car door, unfortunately this has smashed the front glass and the LCD, I've found many LCD replacements on eBay and several guides on YouTube, i feel confident enough to do it, however I'm just wondering, which LCD with digitizer do i go for, I've seen some saying they have retina i know this is resolution but would it be possible to get a higher quality LCD or will they all be the same quality, i don't want a cheap Chinese copy, i still want the phone to say "Sony" at this top as it would bug me without it,
and also finally, will my phone retain it's water resistance or would this be lost?
Thanks in advanced

I don't know where to buy the parts but I do know that there are multiple lcd versions, one made by sharp and one made by jdc. Some say the one by sharp is better and some say the one by jdc is better.
Also your phone will probably no longer be waterproof

thanks, i suppose the waterproof could be retained by buying the adhesive seals from that website, i just don't know what lcd to get, was looking at ebay because they are much cheaper, but their are so many variants, has anyone ever done an LCD replacement before on here?

so a month ago i had a massive boo boo and actually managed to trap my phone in the car door, unfortunately this has smashed the front glass and the LCD, I've found many LCD replacements on eBay and several guides on YouTube, i feel confident enough to do it, however I'm just wondering, which LCD with digitizer do i go for, I've seen some saying they have retina i know this is resolution but would it be possible to get a higher quality LCD or will they all be the same quality, i don't want a cheap Chinese copy, i still want the phone to say "Sony" at this top as it would bug me without it,
and also finally, will my phone retain it's water resistance or would this be lost?
Thanks in advanced

Hey, i've changed the monitor and i can't really tell the difference from before. To me it looks the same and the touch works fine. Just be careful while doing the work, it's not that hard. About the water resistence it all depends on how u do the work and if the adhesive u use is good. I think my z1 still has the water resistence but i don't really want to risk just to check it. Who cares at this point, i have a beatifull working z1. I used it in the rain and snow and no problem, but i don't wanna drop it in the water. Good luck

Thanks, i've just bought some new front and back adhesive from ebay,
this is the screen i was looking at on the bay : "141107022314" i want the LCD to say Sony, i think it finishes the phone off nicely, but if there's an uprated display that'd be amazing, some are advertised as uprated and Retina, but i'm not sure if the quality would be any better from the display

it's no doublt that there are A quality /B quality or other qualty lcds sold online, such dbxstore, they named "brand new AAA" for the original quality, you'd better make sure the lcd is original before you make a order

Inside the phone there are 2 RF cables on the left and right sides. Check both. They should be properly connected to the mainboard and the other small boards.

thanks for the reply, just had a look and both are firmly connected at both ends, although one seems to have some minor damage to the cable, although it doesn't look like enough to effect the cable inside

Make sure both RF cables are connected aswell to the tiny metal brackets on both sides. Also check the colors. Maybe wrong cable colors can affect the signal too.

damn, unlucky :\. i'm not sure actually. if not the cables then maybe u've damaged some internal component. try diasembling completely your phone as you did when you changed the monitor, just don't remove the monitor and then reasemble it back carefully. This way if some connecter isn't connected properely, it will be.
I have LETV X800 US version. Drop from 1.5 cracked the glass really nice (see attachment). I am thinking to order screen replacement from here: http://www.vopmart.com/pa1013251.html or here: http://s.aliexpress.com/iemyi2Yz
Do you think it is compatible with my US version of the phone.
I guess it should work on both CN & US but I need to ask before ordering.

I also have the same problem.
Hi
Did you find a solution to your problem ? I also have the same and I do not find the necessary help.
Thank you for your answer
In my reading the screen replacement should work on both US and CN versions....
The screen of this phone is subpar to current phone standards. Mine cracked when dropped at 30 cm from tiled floor after 3 months of use! The phone was house into its original silicone transparent protection, with a glass protection on top! The glass protection didn't brake, only the screen underneath did. I had it replaced for the equivalent of 30 euros in China in a general phone fixing shop, and made clear I did not want an original replacement. They guy came up with a good quality screen, slightly thicker than the original. I have used it without problems for 8 months now. It withstood about 4 falls from 1 meter each, but I keep the phone housed in a metal frame protection since then. The original case is bad since it doesn't protect the phone all around as it should.
I bought the screen from vopmart.
Price is ok, delivery was fast (less than a week to Germany).
Disassembly of screen was actually easier than in the videos, works pretty well.
The BIG problem was (which I did not really realize or ignore until then)...the vopmart screen replacement did NOT come with the adhesive to glue the screen to the phone.
Since I was impatient and wanted to use the phone right away, I used some own tape and glue and damaged the screen in the process.
Bottom line:
- Screen replacement is relatively simple and screen is not too expensive
- make sure you double check that the adhesive is included in the screen you order or order separately, otherwise you will not be able to replace the screen
- I second what the previous poster said....my phone fell from about 70cm and the screen was cracked pretty badly, previous phones did survive this
I bought a Xiaomi phone now. I hope/think build quality is a bit better and, more importantly, you are not stuck with Android 5...
I'm planning to order screen on Aliexpress. I want to ask you that, is your screen's colors or quality worse than original? I'm not asking for durability, just asking for quality.

I think it is about the same as the original. I am not 100% sure though since I destroyed it a little during the replacement. And I believe the color quality from the original one is not great to start with anyway.

I ordered the screen which comes with the digitiser and lcd screen but no sticker so I ordered the sticker, however some people in this thread said glue, so I am confused. What more the replacement videos don't show people putting in glue.
And originally did the phone have a sticker I think not?

So I have ordered both and have the heat gun, and the pry tools, so technically if I am not a gimp I should be able to complete this successfully.
I am just again slightly confused because some videos recommend removing the back cover and the getting to the front by doing a full disassembly whilst others recommend removing the glass directly.
Has anyone tried both methods? I would understand if you were replacing the battery also but...
Thank you in advance.
I have only tried the "front" method, so just removed the glass from the front. I found this to be pretty easy. I did this with a Sony Xperia phone before and I must say the letv was much easier.
I can recommend removing the glass from the front.
Which one is the front method? What and where did you buy to repair it?

I think you use a heat gun to warm it up and then use a suction cup to loosen it then use a razor blade to cut away the glue/sticker and slowly pry it apart.
Then you detach it, attach the new one apply the sticker and then reseal.
Sticker
Hello everybody,
The son of my friend break his screen (LeTV one Pro = LeEco x800 Pro).
He bought a replacement screen, but there is no sticker to fix the screen. It's hard to find this part alone.
Can you give me an idea to solve this problem?
Regards.
Hi Guys,
I never made it to brake my screen but today is the first time... since I could not wait for the correct protector to arrive. Now I have the spiderman app on the screen. Its all broken after having fallen down.
Do you guys know, if it is possible to replace on that phone? I havent found a screen on Ali yet, maybe you know something?
Thanks in advance
Matze
Can you show a photo?
Witrigs sells screens, but they're currently out of stock. I don't think spare parts are going to be available for a few more months
Hey,
photos are attached here. Unfortunately on upper end and on lower end it broke. Really sad about it.
Also changing it once available seems rather difficult. I hoped, that it would be sufficient to only remove display side and put in new one but you also have to disassamble the entire back with a lot of components.... very sad

There are pretty much no modern phones in existence that you can just pull the screen off from the front and slide a new one in. It's always been full disassembly.
Can you tell exactly how it broke? From how far it fell and on which angle. What surface it fell on?
Here you can find the spare display. Message them first about it.

Mi10 Ultra screen replacement
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem than you.
I tried to find a display to replace mine.
I found 2 websites vopmart ans cellspare.
You can find on Youtube how to replace it.
To be honest I did not order the display yet.
I sent an email to the websites to be sure it is for Mi 10 Ultra and in stock. Unfortunately I did not receive any answer.
As I don t know those website I am not so confident. The reviews are not so good.
Let me know if you find a solution. I will continue my research and keep you posted.
Thank you
Ivan

Sorry bro for your loss
Eventually it is just phone, and as any other tool it can be fixed. So, bro, just take it easy!
Stock protective case seems to be adequate. It should be ok in most cases. How did you drop it?
me too
I too was unfortunate enough to break the display of my phone. Honestly im really surprised just how easy the screen broke as it had a case on it and fell from about knee height. Anyway i emailed vopmart and was assured the display was original part so i ordered it and it arrived less than two weeks later. I took it to a local repair shop who fitted the screen, they advised that the phone would need to be sent to their specialist repair centre so would take a few days.
When I got the phone back I noticed right away that the finger print scanner was not working or even registering with the phone. I took the phone back and the person in the shop did not seem very knowledgable about this and stated that when apple screens are replaced, the finger print sensor will no longer work. I am very doubtful that this applies to this phone as i’ve read many others replacing Xiaomi screens with finger print scanner working as new. Could this be a software related issue i.e. if i factory reset the phone perhaps it would register the newly installed hardware, or is this likely to be hardware related i.e. finger print sensor cannot be replaced or something?
I also noted that the wireless charging was no longer working as well so im not sure if this has just been an issue with the reassembly during the repair or something else. The phone itself has been sent away to try and get to the bottom of the wireless charging issue but the guy in the shop did not seem very optimistic about the finger print scanner. As far as im aware the scanner is built into the display so it should definitely be there regardless of the phone recognising it or not, or am i wrong?
Sorry for the long post, I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to the hardware side of phones. Any advice on this would be appriciated.
I broken mine as well
Ok quick feedback. So I was able to order on VOPMART and got it for around 200 bucks to Germany without custom or duty problems via the EU Express shipping method. I heated up the back and got the cover away without bigger problems. Took apart the obvious parts (quite a lot to take apart)
With the display unfortunately, I heated up but the glue is very strong which isnt a big problem since it is broke anyways. Unfortunately when I slit the tool to disassemble in i unfortunetly cut the sensor cable for the finger print sensor, so now i am not able to use the fingerprint sensor anymore. Se be really careful there when taking appart the screen (I guess its best to just break the glas and take it appart from inside.)
After putting the new display on you have to get the cable through the mainboard which is also a little tricky but you do not need to take the entire mainboard out - its sufficient to lift it a little bit to get the wire through. Then put everything back together and voila - everything worked again beautifully only without the finger print sensor....

Hello, I recently broke my Mi 10 Ultra screen and used your recommendation of purchasing from VopMart. I took it to a store to have them do it professionally and advised them to be careful of the finger print sensor cable. He told me the phone was repaired without any damages. Even the finger print cable was salvaged....I turn on the phone and the finger print sensor doesn't work. I'm not sure if the dude was lying to me.....or if the screen is faulty.....or if I need to do a factory data reset so the mother board can recogonize the new connection maybe. Any help would be appreciated. I really like to have the in screen finger print sensor.
