C80 Pics/Differences

I stopped in my local Gamestop yesterday to pickup Madden 13 and ended up leaving with a Nexus 7 too lol. Ill be giving this one to my gf but I just wanted to post a few pics of some things that may be slightly different about the C80 production runs. I didnt do a complete teardown of the unit so I cant say if any changes have been made to combat the over exaggerated screen lift stuff but I have noticed a few small changes. I honestly dont think anything has really changed in terms of manufacturing but these units had just came in yesterday morning so im assuming it was a fresh batch.
First up is the box. Im not sure when they made this change but my C70 didnt have the notches on the box for easy opening. I remember kinda having a hard time separating the box when I first got my C70.

Second thing I noticed was the C80 units have a few screws missing. Im not sure if this is something they just started doing, but I exchanged three C80 units at Gamestop yesterday because me and the manager thought it was a flaw but all 3 random units had the two missing screws.
Here are a few shots of the back cover and unit. Im not sure if anything is different but maybe someone whos more familiar with the insides may notice something.
I did noticed the serial # on the rear sticker is now printed in white as opposed to black:

They probably realized all those screws put too much pressure & therefore causing lift.

Yeah I figured they did it for a reason. Hopefully we can a confirmation on this so I can know if my units are in fact missing screws.

My C80 should be at my doorstep within a couple hours. Having accidentally cracked the screen on my C60 while trying to fix the screen lift, I hope this is is void of issues.

Nice! Please keep us updated on your C80 findings. My C60 cracked randomly the other day (sent an email from it, walked to my car, looked down, cracked) and I sent it in to ASUS. Part of me wonders if the C80's are fixed enough to prevent this from happening to anybody else.

Yeah man, for sure. First thing I do after opening it will be sharing what I find with everyone. And I can 100% sympathize with a cracked screen haha, its an awful feeling that you have to eat the $200-250 and get a new one :/

I removed those 2 screws on my C70 just now If the reason is in fact to reduce the stress on the screen to reduce cracking, then maybe it's recommended C60 and C70 owners to do this too?

Hi!!!
Sorry my english is so bad...
I have just opened my tablet, it is the C80 version too. And there are missing the same screws as in your tablet.

Asus fix is remove screws!

Sweet! So I guess this was something done on purpose. I'll see if I can get a official word from Asus regarding this. It would be kinda funny if all the people returning earlier built tablets because of missing screws found out it was done like that intentionally lol.

I also have removed those screws on my C6O. The screen is not lifted now, and when i put pressure on the opposite corners of tablet, i don`t hear crackling.
I hope it will be pernament fix of this problem.

Wow this is interesting. Gonna remove those screws from mine too.

Alright, so I just got mine in the mail (my second purchase) and I was VERY disappointed at first. I received a C60...... WTF? So I open it up and the screen is flush, not lower than bezel, flush.... all around. ZERO screen flicker, ZERO light bleed, very responsive, colors are correct, no dead pixels, speakers work, some ghosting on max brightness, but that is to be expected of IPS screens. Now I need to get it super hot and see if the screen stays. If there is anything I missed I will post it. Oh, and it also looks like my box had been re-used because there was a second layer of tape on the black box. Was mine refurbished? Who cares, so far so good.

Not sure how easy your back was to get off on your last unit, but with mine, I had to use quite a bit of effort on my C70 (fingernail + credit card + force)

My last replacement was a C70 and had the screws removed.

can someone with a c08 model take a better pic of the back cover off? theres two clips on the left side that goes over where the screen data ribbon is and just wanted to know if they change those at all. this point is where a lot of people get screen lift.

[Q] Screen unresponsive (hardware problem)

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:

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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

LETV Le1 PRO (X800) broken screen replacement

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.

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?

[Q] Broken back glass : manufacturing problem or bad luck ?

Dear XDA users,
I bought my Mi 9 early April and after less than a month I have found the back glass broken like this when taking the phone out of my jeans pocket :

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
The phone never fell (it has absolutely no marks on the outer metal), I did not perform any special/unusual move with the phone in my pocket, and there was no other items in that pocket (I am used to carry all my phones that way for years).
But this time I just found the mobile like that when I took it out. Note that I am not using any kind of protection.
So I wonder if I just had extreme bad luck or if more devices may have a fragility on their back glass ?

Maybe there was some keys or coins in you pocket and sitting with jeans make some pressure on phones

No as I wrote above there was nothing else in my pocket. I am used to live and travel with all my phones like that for a dozen years, and I never put anything else in the same pocket to avoid damaging the screen. It worked fine until now...

I wonder if it accidentally got hit or something, I know you said no but it looks like that section near the usbc port is took a hit of some sort.
I had my oneplus back crack, only a few weeks old, never dropped etc but I chalked it up to it must have inadvertently got hit somehow/someway without be knowing as I didn't find others with the same issue.

The cracks in the glass seem to start from the bottom indeed, but I can assure you that the metal all around the usbc is totally clean (there is a small white reflection there on the picture which may be seen as a damage, but it's not).
I cannot exclude that I missed a "hit" on my pocket during the hour which elapsed since the previous phone usage, but it would still be extremely weak for a gorilla glass 5 to break with a "hit" that I wouldn't have felt or noticed :/

The cracks in the glass seem to start from the bottom indeed, but I can assure you that the metal all around the usbc is totally clean (there is a small white reflection there on the picture which may be seen as a damage, but it's not).

Just looking around, can order a new back glass for $10 and it looks simple to replace. That's good at least.

It's 3D glass. NEVER leave it unprotected.
2.5D glass on iPhones are much weaker as well (like the front of the Mi 9 which is very close).
3D glass or Edge-Glass (think Samsung Galaxy S7/8/9/10) is also amongst the worst.
No one should go without, AT LEAST, the included case, just because the camera glass isn't sapphire-crystal (9H) but sapphire-glass (5.5H) - like JerryRigEverything test has shown.

Thank you very much for the links. I don't have the tool to heat the back but I may try to get it done in a repair shop.

I had a Galaxy S7 before the Mi 9, two years in my pocket exactly the same way with no protections, never had a scratch on the screen or back

Same issue repeated with the rear glass on Mi9
My phone is in a robust case and the rear glass has been broken 3 times now! I have never broken any screen before and I have had phones for over 25 years.

Hi,
I just realize that I forgot to provide feedback here.
So I bought this back cover on Aliexpress : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33009357325.html
An this heat gun : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32966891985.html
I replaced the back cover myself and it was quite easy. Have a look at video like this one before : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta_vYqOfK0Q
Since then, I am enjoying my Mi 9 and never had any problem with broken back or front glass anymore (although I still don't use any cover and hold the phone in my pocket...).
I think that the original back cover that I had was faulty, although Xiaomi never accepted that and refused to repair under warranty.
Good luck with yours !
Laurent

Thanks I will give it a try.
I have purchased all of the replacement screens do far from eBay..

Looks like bad luck. I don't use a case on my Mi 9 with no issues. The back is all scratched up, but no cracks.

Display for Mi 10 Ultra replacement

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.

I am glad atleast the screen is working.. do you know if anyone is selling spare batteries?? And charging port

Seems the only way to be sure is get one of those armoured cases that screws on

The charging port would be awesome since mine is definitely gone but from all the dissambly videos i've seen it seems the charging port is on the motherboard Mine still charges but passes no data\usb commandos so no fastboot or adb
