[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nightpath:
So there's been a lot of questions on how to properly replace the LCD and/or Digitizer.

I bought my digitizer (v0.3) from www.all4cellular.com . The SKU for the digitizer I got was 440002396. If you order, call AND email their support to ensure you get a V0.3. I can not guarantee that they have them now. I bought my LCD ( still waiting) from eBay, a Chinese reseller. I've been waiting over a month for it now.

First off, you have to determine if the LCD or digitzer is busted.

1 - If you can't see anything on the screen, everything is full of lines and colorful you have a busted LCD, OR the cable may have come loose. Keep reading.

2 - If you can view the tablet and all it's goods, still use some touch stuff then your digitizer is busted.

3 - If you can't turn see anything on the LCD, the screen is full of cracks then chances are they are both busted.

4 - If you turn on the Prime, the screen is black, or anything else, either it's bricked or the LCD died. Get a mini-HDMI cable, hook to a TV and check it out.

So, you've determined that you have a busted ass screen. Yay :(

To remove the LCD/Digitizer from the backing you have to look at the 2 tabs that have rubber in them on the bottom of the tablet. There is a thread here on how to do it so I won't go further : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1479664

OK! Now you have that apart. Set your TF201 half with all the goods in a safe place. Might not hurt to use the internal switch to power it off. Post #2 in the above link shows how to do it. It's a small switch. Be careful from here on out. Disconnect the LCD and digitizer ribbons from the rear case. The digitizer ribbon comes off the backing, and the LCD will come off of the LCD screen itself (you have to reuse it, one does not come with any replacement LCD screens).

So now you have your TF201 in 2 pieces. Great :)

Lay the screen on a flat surface. DO NOT BEND THIS. The LCD will easily crack and bust. I was in a rush to do this and cracked my LCD. If I was to do it over again, I'd find a hardcover book of the same size, place it on the LCD to minimize any bending.

First, unscrew the screen from the digitizer frame (keep these somewhere safe), bend the tabs up out of the way. Take a plastic tool, if you have on, and take it and slip it between the 2 sided tape on the LCD. Here is a picture so you can see just how little you need to pry off.

I would 100% recommend doing this with a space heater blowing on it to soften the tape, using a guitar pick or other hard slim piece of plastic to go around the edges. DO NOT flex the LCD up to see if it's cutting, do not put pressure on the back of the LCD. If you feel comfortable, you can use a Exacto knife (or scalpel) to cut it off.

When I was taking my busted LCD off after I realized my screen was broken I used a scalpel for part of it. I didn't give a crap as both LCD+digitizer were broken. If both are broke on yours, don't worry about being careful.

Here is a meh video showing a bit of it :

Alright! So now you have the LCD and digitizer separated, w00t. If your LCD was broken, put the new one on. If it's still good, and the digitizer need replacing keep going. The hard part is over, now it's just the picky part.

I can not stress this enough : Any digitizer you buy will NOT come with the frame. The frame has the wifi + GPS antennas on them, as well as the screw holes for the LCD screen. If you've thrown out your digitizer without separating them, good luck in finding another.

So now you have the Digitizer and frame to separate. This was indeed a hassle as both are paper thin. Here is a picture showing how they are assembled (Although mine aren't yet, I have them laying together). This shows them separated so it gives a really good idea of what needs to be done :

Front view :

Rear view :

OK, if the tablet were together, pic 1 would be the screen facing up towards you, pic 2 shows the rear. The digitizer glass sits on the frame, held by glue. If your digitizer is broken (shattered) or just cracked, having it sitting in front of a heat source helps TREMENDOUSLY. The glue on the tape heats up and separates nicely.

Important to remember when doing this step : If you crack the frame it does NOT matter. If you break it it does NOT matter.

Why do I say this? Simple...the frame sits behind the digitizer. When you get the double sided tape to put on it to hold the digitzer in place it will also keep the frame held together without fear of anything happening. If it breaks in 2-3 pieces just tape them back up, this is not an issue as the digitizer and LCD are what gives the front it's strength. This is the reason why the front flexes and parts break. It's a design issue (imo) and should have been made much firmer, not flexible.

When I was separating the frame and digitizer, I went in from the back first to create an opening on the outside of the frame. I held the whole thing in front of my trusted space heater, let the tape warm up then slid my exacto knife between the 2 close to a corner, and twisted the knife a bit to get them to lift off eachother. Once I had a small gap, I pulled the knife out from the back and went in from the front around the edge. The reason I did this was the seam that you have to go into is a ***** to find, going in from the rear negates busting the frame and marking it up, plus it's a crapload easier to start this way.

Note : When doing this, it helps to keep a few pieces of paper the same length of the sides you're cutting (or cards). The tape glue resticks, sticking the paper or cards in keeps it separated nicely.

Here is what you'll be left with :

So now you have the LCD off the back of the digitizer, the digitizer and frame separated. It's at this point where you have to decide : Do I want this to be stuck back together like it was when I got it, or shall I use something a little more workable in case it decides to pull the same breaking stunt?

Pick your tape to re-assemble accordingly. I myself am using double sided permanent scotch tape. It's nice and sticky, but if necessary I can remove it easily in the future to fix any problems. Jgrimoldy suggested this because when you put it back together dust might slide in between the digitizer and LCD, and I 100% agree.

Putting back together :

Easy enough. Lay the frame down, apply the tape where it needs to be. Trim as necessary. Don't worry about having to touch the tape while trmming it, or it sticking out a bit. As you can see in the Rear View photo up there, you have plenty of lee-way. I would suggest leaving the plastic on the digitizer backing right up until you are ready to seat the LCD back on.

When you get to placing the LCD back on, a can of air might help a bit, or a cloth use to wipe off glasses. The LCD on the digitizer appears to have a foam type tape on it, it's your discretion if you peel it all off to clean it up nice (meh) or leave a layer of foam on it, place 2 sided tape over it and reassemble it. Personally, I'd leave the old foam tape on it (peel off any glossy layer showing) and put 2 sided back on it. Screws hold it in place and tighten it down anyways. The foam closes any gaps that let in particles.

If it's a new LCD and has plastic on it, hold the LCD upside down above the digitizer, remove the plastic off of it then off of the digitizer. Any dust in the air should be blocked off from falling on the digitizer. Have a quick peek at both, then stick them together. I am not totally sure on this step yet as I do not have a LCD to try with (yet). Most eBay LCD's I find appear to have some sort of trim around the edges, so I imagine all that's needs is a bit of tape placed around it, remove the plastic and slap it on.

So there you have it, how to take it apart and put back together.
