[Q] A repair shop replaced my digitizer with a non-working, how to prove it?

Hello, recently, my phone fell in the water.
I gave it to an repair shop named "My Mobiles".
The place looked like they "couldn't" scam people.
After two days of "servicing", they showed me the mobile.
They said that sometimes the phone wouldn't on.
The touch screen was working perfectly, someone showed me the working of the mobile, unlocked the lockscreen, scrolled through the different home screens.
They would service for another day, flash, and return it back to me.
The next day, they gave it to me.
They said that the touchscreen wasn't working perfectly in some places.
I wanted to test it, they said that the electricity wasn't there and they couldn't charge right now.
I went home with my mobile.
I charged it for a long time.
Then, when I turned it one, I couldn't access the touchscreen whatsoever.
I'm pretty sure that they replaced the digitizer with an non-working one.
But, I'm not sure how to prove it. So, is there any documentation provided that says that can identify the id of my digitizer?
I live in India, and good people here are a million-to-one.
What can I do?
Thank you.

Hah, yeah.
But how do I confirm about the digitizer?
I have to confirm that I'm right.
So, how do I do that?
Or is it just better to buy a digitizer?
(I sincerely don't see any point arguing with a bunch of dumbasses in a room full of "judges")
How much would the digitizer cost and which trusted place do I get it from?

I would recommend you to take your phone to that shop once more..
They must fix any error they made..
Or it would be better to take your parents along with you..(if you are a kid..)

There are not much you can do, just go back to them and complain.
But maybe its not their fault.

Yeah, I did think of that, but the previous day, the digitizer was working, atleast accessible.
But, the next day, it didn't even respond.. I don't understand how that could that happen !
They did say that "it's an motherboard problem", but the mobile is working perfectly other than the battery and the touchscreen..
And, has someone used a new digitizer, successfully?
Is there any tutorial to replace the digitizer? I did find this : http://erkinson.altervista.org/en/sony-ericsson-xperia-x8-smontaggio-e-sostituzione-display-touch/
But, it isn't mentioned perfectly how to replace it..

Why not? It shows you what you have to remove(1 and 2) to replace digitizer. Then whatever you remove you place it back, while you are replacing the digitizer.
If you are not familiar with this stuff i advise you to leave it to someone who know how to do it.

N7100 Housing Change

Hi,
I bought a new housing for my N7100.
After changing the housing I am losing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
It just gets turned off automatically within 1 second.
When I whack it hard couple of times it works for 2-4hours.
I even got replacement housing from seller but the problem persist.
Any suggestions?
A hardware experts help is appreciated.

No compatible nfc on the back cover?

I'm only here for suggestion, not sure what you are getting at, i'm say are you sure you have the n7100 and not the n7105 or other models, there are slight differences between them all.

I know ur problem, take off the back cover and remove the screw next to the wifi antennae which is the one left to the camera, (not on the side where the flash is at).
it should work. If it doesnt press on that area kinda hard n it shud work. i do this and lik once a month or twice maybe the same thing happens. It is a bad connection with the wifi antenna i believe. When it stops working i simply take off the back cover and just push on it. Usually it happens when my phone gets real hot.

[Q] Has anyone replaced their screen on their own?

As you could imagine, broke my screen recently. Just wondering if anyone has replaced their own screen, looking for instructions and source for new screen.

I could be wrong, but for the 2013 Moto X , Motorola gave one free screen replacement. I would think that they would do the same for the 2014... id contact MOTO and see what they say

I think if the don't replace it for free it is only $120 or so for them to replace it.

Broke mine and the total came up to about $135, replacement screens from reputable vendors are over $200. Normally I do it myself but I damaged the frame also so getting a refurb was a no brainer. I get all my parts from etradesupply dot com.

Screen replacements are not free and at best are $250 through Moto. There are some disqualifying factors why I can't/don't want to use Moto. I have searched high and low and cannot find anyone selling a new screen. Found a good teardown vid so if I had the screen it doesn't look super difficult to pull off.

Could you provide a link? I have been looking for a good teardown video. I've already seen this one which is OK. I was kind of hoping for a better one.

That was the same one I watched. I found it useful, but not really willing to do this ATM.

In the website says that the screen is only for XT1096, I dont know why? anyone knows? Will it work with a XT1097?

[Q] Digitizer

Hello,
I have cracked my Xperia SP digitizer and I'm currently searching for a replacement. I found many, although the thing is that there are some that have the logo costing about 20 to 30 EU and some without the logo costing under €10. Is there any difference between them? I really do not care about the logo, the only thing that concernes me is the quality, meaning sensitivity, accuracy and durability. Are the OEMs worth their money or is it the same quality on both? Can I post the links from the sites I found them, so you can check? Thanks a priori!

I changed once to nobname digitizer. After 5 minutes I bought used original one. Cheaper and much better quality. So I suggest to search for used one in good condition.
These with logo can be also not original sony digitizer.
Ive found original one in sony store (live in PL) It cost about 50eur.

did you buy the digitizer ? if yes can you please tell me where did you buy it ?
I accidently cut the digitizer's cable/link, i think i have to buy the whole thing for that

For who want to know, i ordered digitizer for 4,5$ from Aliexpress. I applied that and everything's working fine and acceptable for 4$ money. I only have some responsiveness a little [not so much] . Rarely the touch speed is slowing down for 1-2 minutes, but it comes back then. And the light sensor isn't working for me ( it's not problem for me)

I ordered a digitizer from Amazon, no issues whatsoever. But I think it was originally from China, because it was very cheap. Judging from my experience, a digitizer from eBay, Aliexpress might do the job just fine.

Thanks for replying i got an original but used digitizer in some mobile shop for about 8$ and it works pretty fine

I bought a new black digitizer, and all is working fine.
The white one's sensors wasnt worked but black's works fine.

I don't think either that it's a color-based problem. I think it's digitizers problem because some digitizers chip's are different.Maybe their sensors also different.

guys could you give me a link to a digitizer you bought which works on CM13-CM14 custom roms.
I bought 2 digitizers and 2 of them are only working on Jellybean. Not working on 4.1.2 + roms ...
