I ordered a motherboard off of eBay for my son's Acer iconia tab 8 a1-840 fhd, only I didn't order the right motherboard. I ordered the non fhd version. Everything fit cable wise and I turned it on just to check if it works work and it did... Somewhat. The screen is not the right size on the display. I'll try and attach a picture, but basically the screen is only displayed on the left upper portion of the display and it repeats on the bottom third of the display on the left side. The touch works perfectly on the top screen but doesn't register anywhere else. Is this fixable? Or should I bite the bullet and return the part and find the correct one? Thanks for your time.

I had a scratch on my screen so I've bought a new one. I'm talking about touch screen only. Nobody wanted to help me so I decided to replace it on my own. I have removed the damaged one and replaced it with the new one. The phone is working but it doesn't respond to the touch. When I was replacing the screen I accidentally bended the metal plate back so now the touch screen doesn't stick to the main screen. I think that it doesn't matter because the most important thing is to connect the screen not to stick to the main screen. please help me with solvin' problem.
wow, you just went for it yourself? cool.
ok, would it be possible for you to post some pictures so we can see what you mean by the bended metal?
The screen and touch screen are typically to separate entities, the touch screen beign a 'film' like item that sticks to the top of the screen. You may purchase them as one unit or you may not, compare your old screen with the new one, are they IDENTICAL in every way? especially are they the same thickness and do they have the same number of connectors.
Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out...
now, back to lurking.
i'll post some pictures in 3days time. I don't have a camera.the touch screen is the same and it should've worked.
Hello, I am a true noob so please forgive me if I sound dumb.
I had a broken screen so I bought a new one on Ebay. I changed it perfectly, it looks good but now when I touch the screen it acts like I touched the top left corner (in portrait)no matter where on the screen I touch (so it opens up the "Start" menu). In landscape it acts like I touched the top right so it opens up the drop down menu with all the running programs.
I would really appreciate some help. I try re-aligning the touch screen but it does not recognize any touches at all. I have to soft reset the phone to get out of the re-align program.
I don't want to hard reset because I have read many cases where the phone gets stuck in align program as it is trying to setup and they have to install remote access or something to get around it.
I would like advise on whether it is the new screen or the phone. Is there something I can check for inside or should I send the screen back for a replacement.
Thank you for your help.
Having replaced the touch screen in a Palm with success, I would say that...
You either have a problem with the connector for the screen, recheck the connection
Someone sold you a bad screen.
Something else is wrong with the device.
At this point I don't know that in your position I wouldn't do a hard reset. What is the worst thing that can happen? The device is already broken in it's current state.
Good luck.
Thank you
Thank you very much for your help. I will try the connector. if it does not look damaged then I will return the screen.
Did you replace just the screen itself, or the screen and the digitizer? More than likely your digitizer is broken aswell. If you replaced them as a set, request a new one from wherever you got it, and if you just replaced the LCD, then you need to buy a digitizer aswell.

Well, I only received the screen. I cant figure out where the digitizer is on the tilt so I don't know if I changed it or not. Does any body have any picture??
I think I read somewhere that it all comes as one piece(the screen and digitizer), but I can't confirm it.
Indeed they most of the time do come as one peice, so if your connection is good on the mobo, then I would say that the digitizer you recieved is bad. The digitzier is the super thin peice of glass that covers the LCD screen.
Ok, so I broke the screen on my Nexus One. These things happens. I ordered a replacement screen, and thanks to numerous online guides, I (thought I had) replaced the screen.
Now, I guess that some other parts of the phone might have become damaged, but I doubt it. The phone seems to work. The touch buttons light up. The unlock gesture gives a slight vibrate. So does the volume rocker when I (seems to) reach the top/bottom of the scale.
But the screen itself doesn't show any response. No backlight (should I be able to see that). Nothing. What could I possibly be missing, I've gone over everything three times, but can't see nothing wrong. I've checked all the connectors everywhere. Somehow I get the feeling I'm missing something obvious....
Are you sure you bought an amoled screen replacement and not the slcd screen? That would cause such an issue.
Or maybe he needs an SLCD screen and not amoled..
I was going to ask if your wifi and bluetooth still work but i suppose you cant really test that yet...
I replaced my digitizer last week and now the phone works fine apart from the Wifi, Bluetooth and the charging pins for the dock at the bottom. LAME!
Maybe two Months ago I replace the full Housing on my phone is no easy task but not too difficult either. Check if you didn't ripped any of the flex cables and if the cables are connected properly. I have a long history of replacing housings and my best advice is to do again make sure you have time.
Exactly the same issue. Did you find a solutions?
I too had a broken screen. So, I ordered one from ebay and replaced it.
Now, it screen does not turn on though the icons at the bottom of screen switch-on.
I can here the sound when volume rocker is pressed.
Also, I believe that the touch is also working as I can hear the unlock sound when I swipe my finger across the screen.
Did you find a solution to the problem? Did I make some mistake or the screen is faulty?

Just months after the Nexus One was released, Google announced that the AMOLED Company "Brightstar" fell short of displays and was unable to produce more displays for HTC, so they decided to move to Sony to make the displays, To determine whether a phone has the AMOLED or SLCD display, The internal sticker on the back side of the screen assembly can be examined; part number 60H00443-03P indicates SLCD and part number 60H00287-00P indicates AMOLED, and as i mentioned, the AMOLED screens are gone so finding a replacement for that model would be merely impossible. I was looking around and thought that i may of found a fix to this, see, the HBOOTs on the devices are both the same except the top code of the screen that determines the screen type, if you were to flash the SLCD HBOOT, you might be able to retrieve a working screen, well its probably worth the gamble anyway since you probably are not going to find a replacement in a while.
EDIT: And after moments of posting, i found a AMOLED screen seller that will ship to Europe! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LCD-Scree...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d06825672
Dude, I dropped my n1 and shattered the screen almost 2 years ago. Bought a replacement screen and tried to replace out on my own. Needless to say, it didn't go so well, my n1 was is a paperweight. Good luck man! I miss my working n1...

Hi all! My friend was drunk, dropped her phone on the ground, broke the digitizer glass. I bought a new digitizer from eBay, and after 1-2 hours I've managed to exchange the digitizer, boot up the phone, everything works - except that the very left pixel row from bottom to the top recognizes touches as if they were touched on the right side.
For example, when I press A (at the very left side of the A key on the keyboard) it recognize it just if I touched the screen on the right side instead.
When running tests and pressing on the very left pixel row I get straight horizontal lines over the screen, one line for each touch. That doesn't happen if I tap on the right side or if I press 1 millimeter from the very left row.
So, my question is: Is there any script, setting, hidden hardcore setting or something like that, that will disable the very left row of my digitizer? I think the digitizer is malfunctioning, or is there any calibration tool I could run?
Hi,
I suggest you get a replacement for the faulty digitizer you got. Just complaint to the seller to ship you another one. It is better that way.
Ah, okey. Thanks Will have to buy another front frame thou
Hi
The other day I replaced my HTC HD7 screen, both the LCD and Digitizer.
The cracked screen was working fine, and everything was working perfectly.
After changing the screens everything also came up good, the phone booted up and the Windows Phone menu was working fine.
Problem(s):
On the top right corner there is a dead spot about 1cmX4cm going downwards, I can see everything in the corner but it does not detect touch.
Also, the onscreen key board only works on left side landscape mode. When I am in portrait mode I cant use the "O" and the "P" , and when I am in Right side landscape I can't use the "G" icon/key.
This leads me to believe that the digitizer might be faulty, because the LCD shows everything so it can't be that. Or, maybe the ribbon cable might be bad?
Has anyone else had this problem? What can be done?
Any input on this problem will be much appreciated.
sent it back for replacement if it's under warranty.

Yes, I sent it back, waiting for the replacement now.
Hopefully it will work. I will update the status once I receive the new screen.
