LG Thrill 4G Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement

And Other LG Thrill 4G Parts

Tools:

Small Phillips Screwdriver

Safe Open Pry Tool

Adhesive Strips (For Touch Screen Replacements)

Heat Gun / Hair dryer

LG Thrill 4G Disassembly Guide:

The first step is to turn off your phone and remove back battery cover with your fingers and remove battery. If there is a SIM and memory card remove and set aside as well.

Use a small Phillips screwdriver, remove all nine (9) screws on the back of the cover as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1​

Once you have taken out the screws you will need to remove the back housing by running a safe open pry tool around the sides. Run the tool around the entire length of the binding in order to release the plastic latches, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2​

Remove the power, volume, and side button from the housing and put to the side.

You will now be able to use a pry tool to release the 3 flex cables located in red in Figure 3. Once these have been release, you will be able lift the sim card circuit board from the motherboard (green).

Figure 3​

You may now remove the last 3 cables from the motherboard, located in red circles on Figure 4. You must also release the power and volume button flex cables (located in yellow) from the housing.

Figure 4​

The motherboard can now be removed.

Use a hot air gun or hair dryer to heat up the front of the phone and loosen the glue that holds the LCD screen and the touch screen digitizer intact. You can begin to use your pry tool along the seam to separate the two pieces.

Now you will be able to replace any parts on your LG Thrill 4G. Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
Hey all,

I'm rooting my Galaxy Note to install ICS Stunner for the first time, I have rooted my HTC Desire so I do have some experience, hell I even had to do a bit of hex-editing for that!

I've got the general idea of what to do but I still haven't found out if my apps will get wiped when I root my phone.

My kernel version is LC1 and Build number is GINGERBREAD.XXLC1 - I found that this can't be rooted the easy way by dr. ketan and have to use the PC Odin tool to flash the N7000XXKK9 rom - but this will wipe my apps and data?

Is there any way of backing up the apps and data on my LC1?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Why would you want to try to flash a Beta on an expensive phone when you don't even know what Odin does?

It's your ass.

Odin does wipe your apps and data, and replaces your build -- Make sure it's the correct build. Other wise you'll have a piece of shiny paper weight.

Use Titanium Backup (or any other backup app that doesn't require root), and backup to your microSD if you want to make sure your apps and data is saved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
ICS Stunner is a pretty complete rom and even if samsung release their ICS for note soon, I prefer the stock android to touchwiz (which samsung will never provide). It is pretty difficult to brick the Note.

My main question is that can I root my LC1 Note without loosing apps and data? So then I can use Titanium backup to backup what I need before flashing ICS Stunner.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopitalk:
If you are still on stock unrooted you can backup manually using Kies or some free apps available in Google Play, like Airdroid. Rooting does not wipe your data/apps. The method shown by dr.ketan is basically there to show you how to root your phone safely.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
From what I've read around the forums, I cannot root my version LC1 using the conventional method and that I have to flash a rootable rom through Odin, I'm now guessing there is no way to save my apps data...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smalmagal:
Re download them? If you don't have a million different useless apps, then these shouldn't be much of a problem. Then there is Titanium Backup...which I think is utter garbage, but to each his own.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
Lets face it once :) After that you can always restore the backup !!

Take the hard step of losing all apps and data (can save some using google, kies and some free basic apps) once to unleash the beast within!! ;)

Cheers!!!

Enjoy your Note!! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioweb:
There's a thread in the Developers section with pre-rooted stock roms. You can just flash any of those (though I suggest you just take LC1) with Odin without increasing the counter and if you don't tick the re-partition box then all your apps and data should still be there when you've flashed the rom. Then just install CWM Recovery and Titanium, backup everything and flash any rom you like.

Worked like a charm for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
But it says LC1 is not directly rootable? Update: Ah I was looking at wrong thread, OK this is what I need, thanks man!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nico53laval:
Just back them up with titanium backup...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharan.mu:
Rooting will not delete your apps and data.. you better take back up using titanium back before routing just to be safe..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopitalk:
Titanium Backup requires root access. Which means you cannot use it if your Note is still unrooted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddmecha:
hi guys i am new to rooting on Galaxy note,previously were on HTC DHD..so here is my question,how can i back up my S-Memo beside using google doc?coz i did back up my s-memo b4 i flash rom it seems like when i wanna sync from google docs its not there! so is there any other 3rd party apps that can backup S-memo?thanx in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
Titanium Backup will do it for you easily :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddmecha:
Izzit??but when i restore from titanium backup my s memo still blank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopitalk:
Is it showing blank entries or only stock samples? If showing blank entries, try to open one and do a small scribble then save it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddmecha:
it just have the stock memo...while my memo are all gone...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darhoade:
Has anyone noticed how the metal right under the glass that is the case for the charging port bends mine was warped a bit but I noticed I bent it back straight. I check more and noticed its caused by plugging in the charger into the Asus prime and if you move it back and forth it will bend the metal casing and could crack the screen is anyone else having this problem? I'll post a picture when I get home to show what's happening and what others should look out for. This could be really bad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jsjames:
Yes, mine is bent down but I can bend it back up to insert the charger. Very weak piece of metal there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andreas527:
same here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aypanthony:
me too.

I caught myself holding the TFP one handed with my thumb right over the charging port. I figured that is what caused the warping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] turbodroid:
Mine came bent brand new out of the box.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wstahlm80:
Add me to the list of a bent case. Scared me half to death because what made me realize that the case was bent was because my screen looked like it popped out. Which made me immediately think that I would have to add myself to the "cracked screen thread." However, I was able to snap the screen back into place except for the part near the power port....which is when I noticed that the metal was bent up and in causing the screen to to snap back into place. So I did the best I could to re-position the metal and the screen seemed to snap back in (not as tight as the rest of the tablet).

Not sure how the metal got bent since I have never dropped it (knock on wood). I do keep it in my brief case, and there may be a possibility that it got jammed somehow (even though I have it in a nice case).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darhoade:
I think it just gets bent frm doing the one handed holding thing like me and a few others that i have read about on here or it could be because of bending the charger. More and more stuff i keep finding out crap. I love this device but man seems that no one tested the damn thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:

Aluminum is just so soft, it shouldn't be a surprise when a piece less than 1 MM thick gets bent. As you can see in the thread, I've even purposefully bent it, several times. Nothing is hurt by it. I don't think it will ultimately hurt the screen or anything, I suppose if you tried breaking your power cord off into it or something.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Skullmonkey:
I haven't noticed it on mine but I keep the little plastic piece in it when its not on the charger to protect it from dust/damaging the port. I have a case so I don't even notice it being there when in use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leilanifxo:
That's what i think too .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ranivus:
Mine didn't crack from the charger but it gradually began to get bent since i keep 90% of the tablet docked to the keyboard. Even the rubber/padding in the dock is rubbing/melting off and sticking to the tablet. Yeah, I'm guilty of opening and closing the tablet like it was a laptop so which is why im sure it became like that.

I thought the port was cracked due to the keyboard was more of the problem than it is but it turns out its just the tablets fault. Thanks for the post, at least im not the only one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slybarman:
Mine has cracked through.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zephyrot:
I almost got a hearth attack when i first saw mi prime like that haha.

Then I looked a bit closer, and found out that the whole Prime was bent like a bow! including the screen. I just bent it back with little force and it is back like new. I'm extra careful now when applying any kind of pressure to the tablet.

I guess that's the price for having a whole Alu case... but I think the border of the tablet should be made of something way more resistant than just Alu.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] roccodaone:
I've had it bent since the day I bought the prime. Always thought it was an esthetics thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mr_skot:
Me too. Came that way out of the box. Figured it was meant to be that way since it was shipped like that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeallen0:
I work at the Asus RMA repair center in grapevine TX pretty much exclusively on the tf101, tf201, 300t and sl101. I see these things bent above and around the charging port all the time. Hell, we have techs that bend it themselves when they are servicing the tablet. It's a bad design flaw.

and if can, hold menu button to open task manager

how do i enable location services on the nook tablet

(for example: you can go to nextmuni.com by using your nook tablet, the webpage cannot find your location, it does nothing instead of showing a message that asks your permission)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
What you describe sounds as though it may be connected to gps which we don't have on the nt.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Haven't been able to on stock. CM7 has it turned on by default.

I was in part wrong about needing gps. I tried the location you mentioned and was placed about 150 miles away. I guess not to bad without gps.

Sorry I may have mislead you.

[Motorola Droid 4] repairsuniverse:
This written repair guide will assist you in replacing the touch screen or LCD screen on your Motorola Droid 4. This will take you through each step from screw removals, to flex cables, adhesive and etc.

This guide will help you install the following Motorola Droid 4 part (s):

Motorola Droid 4 Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement

Motorola Droid 4 LCD Screen Replacement

And Other Motorola Droid 4 Parts

Tools Required:

Safe Open Pry Tool

T5 Torx Screwdriver

Adhesive Strips (For Touch Screen Replacements)

Hot Air Gun / Hair Dryer

Motorola Droid 4 Take Apart/Repair Guide:

Remove the back battery cover by sliding it down and then lifting it from the front of the phone.

Use a safe open pry tool to lift the Micro SIM cover.

Remove the battery sticker from the device by carefully peeling it away.

Use a Torx T5 screwdriver to remove the two (2) screws holding the battery in place.

Figure 1​

Now, using a safe open pry tool, carefully remove the battery. The battery will held in place with a large amount of adhesive.

Pry away the top camera cover which is held in place with adhesive. Under the cover there will be two (2) hidden Torx T5 screws.

Figure 2​

Using your safe open pry tool, pry carefully around the edges of the back bezel and remove the back housing from the rest of the device.

There will now be thirteen (13) Torx T5 screws holding the mid chassis in place. Remove these screws and carefully pry off the mid frame chassis from the rest of the device

Figure 3​

You will now have access to the motherboard. There will be two (2) "pop" connectors that will need to be disconnected as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4​

The motherboard can now be set aside and we are left with the front slide portion and top of the keyboard.

We will now need to remove the two (2) Torx T5 screws holding the slide and keyboard in place.

Figure 5​

Carefully remove the keyboard from the device, being careful of the flex cable that is fed through the slide..

On the back of the screen assembly there will be ten (10) Torx T5 screws that will need to be removed.

Figure 6​

The front panel can now be removed from the LCD assembly.

The touch screen digitizer is part of the front panel. To remove the touch screen you will need to heat the front of the panel using a hair dryer/heat gun to warm the adhesive holding the digitizer in place.

Use medium heat for about 45-60 seconds using quick movements around the outside edges.

Now, use a safe open pry tool to pry between the touch screen and the bezel to release the adhesive holding the touch screen in place. Reheat if necessary.

Carefully feed the flex cable through the housing are fully remove the touch screen from the device.

For LCD repair, carefully release the top "pop" connector above the LCD screen. You can now lift the LCD screen from the housing and remove it fully from the device.

Now you will be able to replace any parts on your Motorola Droid 4. Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.
[Motorola Droid 4] gnoitall:
Thanks for an outstandingly clear and concise guide.

Newb observation: The re-assembly instructions are very brief. For instance, there's no mention of how the use the adhesive strips in the "Tools Required" list. The presence of those strips in the tools lists implies to me that you can't reuse the adhesive you heat-softened to separate the touchscreen, but I may be wrong. :o Maybe the adhesive strips are just for re-fastening the battery, and the adhesive in the touchscreens is supposed to be reused.

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

AAAAnd, on follow-up, I followed the link in your signature and read the full Droid 4 take-apart page, which DOES describe how to use the adhesive strips. In re-attaching the touch screen layer to the bezel. In a YouTube video. Excellent.

The truth is out there! :D
[Motorola Droid 4] repairsuniverse:
Haha.. glad you found the guide useful and also found our other video for attaching the screen.
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
wish there was an AMOLED screen to replace this qHD screen
[Motorola Droid 4] teookie:
Yeah, this screen does kinda suck.

But it gets the job done, and is easy to see outside. So I can't complain to much.
[Motorola Droid 4] jakson0100:
I wana ask is it possible to replace matel bazal from the edge of screen with out providing heat ?
[Motorola Droid 4] repairsuniverse:
Its much harder if the adhesive is not warmed first. We would recommend heating.
[Motorola Droid 4] ghostmac:
I'm at figure #5 and the screws are def not Torx T5. Look like T4 :(
[Motorola Droid 4] ghostmac:
"We will now need to remove the two (2) Torx T5 screws holding the slide and keyboard in place."

This is incorrect.

It's definitely a T4.
[Motorola Droid 4] brandogg:
Glad to see this, just wanted to be sure the Droid 4 front assembly (LCD and digitizer) is not one piece like the RAZR and MAXX.
[Motorola Droid 4] dhinged:
Are there any AMOLED screens that will work with the Droid 4? I'd be happy to try to swap one out if I could find some parts or used phones.
[Motorola Droid 4] repairsuniverse:
Not currently. But as soon as we get some you will be able to find them here - Motorola Droid 4 replacement parts
[Motorola Droid 4] dasfaust:
Got ahold of one of these Droid 4 phones, but the "USB" female plug had been pretty much forced and destroyed, and I jacked up the battery. Anyone know where I can find a motherboard for this XT894 and a battery as inexpensively as possible? I got the phone for free, would like to see it work if not too terribly expensive.
[Motorola Droid 4] 640k:
repairsuniverse, what's the deal with the battery? I've seen a few ebay auctions where the battery was basically "destroyed" by removing it. Can you provide details on how to either repair or replace this?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] repairsuniverse:
Sorry we do not currently have a guide other than this one for this model but when we do we will get it posted and I will send you the link. We should have a video guide ready in a week or 2.
[Motorola Droid 4] repairsuniverse:
Glad you found it useful!
[Motorola Droid 4] KrellaKrentoshi:
If you get the usb replaced

I would really like to know if you can get the usb plug replaced, and if so, how did you replace it? Also, how did you "jack up the battery'? I was under the impression that besides being unremovable, they couldn't be swapped out for a different battery. :confused:
[Motorola Droid 4] SixButtons:
I just finished replacing the digitizer on my Droid 4. When I got it completely reassembled, I powered it on and had a severe issue with touch input. The center of the screen responds at random to touch. I disassembled the phone three times to verify if I missed any seatings, but I failed to find any. Could I have possibly received a bad digitizer?

Any response towards this query would be greatly appreciated. I just bought this phone through swappa a month ago (contract is not up until February) and accidentally dropped the phone face down on concrete, shattering the entire screen.
[Motorola Droid 4] Die Bruine:
Shattered or not, did the previous screen work? If it did, it must be the new digitizer. I haven't replaced one on the D4 yet but I have on the Milestone. I can remember at least 3 DOA digitizers. Very annoying :mad:
[Motorola Droid 4] repairsuniverse:
Hi,

We've seen this happen a few times when the correct adhesive strips aren't applied between the LCD screen and the digitizer. If the adhesive is too thin then the touch screen can be too close to the LCD screen and result in this type of issue.

Did you use adhesive strips such as these ones here - Touch screen adhesive atrips
[Motorola Droid 4] The Old One:
My Touch Screen works but the LCD backlight is out do you know where I can get a replacement LCD.
[Motorola Droid 4] repairsuniverse:
The replacement LCD screens are not currently available just the touch screens. However we do believe we should have them soon. Once we do you will be able to find them here - Motorola Droid 4 replacement screens
[Motorola Droid 4] 640k:
Bump?
[Motorola Droid 4] The Old One:
I had no trouble removing the battery from mine but if you don't unscrew the battery before you try to pull it out you

WILL

destroy it.
[Motorola Droid 4] repairsuniverse:
As The Old One said, make sure you unscrew the battery first and you shouldn't have a problem.
[Motorola Droid 4] 640k:
I thought the issue was re-adhering the contacts on the battery ribbon?
[Motorola Droid 4] vipervin:
I replaced the digitizer for the phone and reassembled it but now the phone thinks the physical keyboard is always open. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] neil_swann80:
Looks like you can get one here:

http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-mot...nd-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing.html

Do you think it would be possible to upgrade the LCD for a better one at any point? RAZR MAXX LCD in this phone would be awesome.
