OK. So after nearly an hour, I think I managed to clear just over 1 sq inch of screen. However, this was mainly testing.

The main priority is to protect the screen underneath the glass. So I had tried several techniques to see how the removal went. The other thing to consider is the heating of the screen. I am using a hair dryer with an adaptor at the end to focus the heat onto specific areas.

I then tried different techniques in the corners with varying times. My result is you need to blast the area with about a minute of heat. Now this will vary from hair dryer to hair dryer.

For the removal, I tried the following tools:

Small flathead screw driver

Credit Card sized travel card

Kitchen knife

The small flathead was surprisingly effective, if not a little cumbersome to use. The credit card was too ineffective and the kitchen knife was just horrendous.

Because the screen is glued on, I thought to try and go in over the top of the glue towards the digitiser once warm, to use the glue as a buffer underneath to protect the screen for any leverage etc. Also the glue does clump a little. So this acts as a small leaver against the screen.

Once testing was completed, I focused on another area... This is where progress was made. Most of the one square inch was cleared in this time, about 10 minutes.

I guess once I clear the glass from the screen, I will need to use an alcohol solution to remove the glue. Only then, will I really know if the process LOOKS like a success... It might be the screen is broken anyway due to the heat...

This is thankless task, but I hope whatever I find here can be of benefit to someone.

extra digitizer

do you have the digitizer for Google nexus 7 2013 the 2nd Gen. ? mine has just broken still looking at the tutorials and trying to convince myself if its worth trying to separate the LCD and digitizer apart, and what happens to the frame? noone has ever said anything about the structure made of plastic which holds LCD and Digitizer in place? if you have that extra digitizer could you send me pics of it on the email? my email is kunjaj1@yahoo.com

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] enjoycoca:
I do have a spare digitizer. However, I have been procrastinating on making more progress.

Basically, the screen/digitiser are glued together, with the overlapping Digitiser stuck to the rest of the frame.

To get the screen/digitiser unit separate from the frame, you have to heat around the outside and slowly break the digitiser away. It is continuous ALL the way around the frame, there is no respite. I might attempt again tonight to do some more work on this. But it is slow progress and I need time AND patience to commit further to this.

It might be easier, if you have never done anything like this before, to buy a new frame/digitiser/lcd unit. Or, if you want to gamble, please go ahead and give it a go.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hack.causality:
I've been heating the borders of the screen for nearly an hour now with my heat gun set on 110c, with absolutely no indication the glue is softening. What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] graphdarnell:
Once you get the LCD/digitizer assembly off the tab, the procedure is pretty much the same as in this thread for the Nexus 7 (2012). If you follow the procedure laid out therein, you should be able to separate the LCD from the Digitizer. The trick is to do so without damaging the half that still functions.

Don't believe it cannot be done because the parts are "fused" together. They are not; they're bonded together with optically clear adhesive, same as phone touchscreens. There are at least 3 different ways to go about it, depending on what you have at hand. One member even stated he separated the two by accident while cleaning the tape residue off the digitizer, and the cleaner seeped in between to dissolve the bond.

Try it first, and if you fail, you can always pay for the whole assembly later.

[MENTION=2832943]repairsuniverse[/MENTION] Is that bezel going to be available for purchase? Can't seemed to find it. Maybe I'm searching for it the wrong way. The bezel for original N7 was easy enough to find, but for the N7 2013 I'm having no luck.

The Bezel has not yet become available to the mass market as of yet. Please keep checking our website as content is uploaded everyday.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] graphdarnell:
I just finished "un-fusing" the lcd from a broken digitizer. It goes without saying that the lcd was hopelessly smeared with residual glue. People in the Nexus 7 forum lamented about how it was impossible to remove traces of OCA without special chemicals. I found out from another member that the best tool to use is an eraser.

You can use the type fitted to a pencil to lift off the residue by rubbing in a crisscross pattern, while allowing the eraser to just touch the glass surface without too much pressure. You might need a softer eraser to clean up afterwards, but you certainly don't need no stinking chemicals. Takes a while but there's no agent that attacks the polaroid layer, so it's safe.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] madbat99:
I didn't have the patience to try to separate them, I just bought and replaced the assembled LCD digitizer. It was my first time and was pretty easy. It came with the black adhesive to bond to the frame already on it. That "bezel is the whole frame of the tab.

Thanks for the awesome guide. I have my tablet apart and I'm getting ready to put it back together, but I notice that my replacement LCD/digitizer combo doesn't appear to have any adhesive on the inside edge. Do you sell a one-piece adhesive "decal", or is double-sided screen adhesive tape suitable?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] brandogg:
It should have come with the adhesive, if not then it's probably not an OEM screen - but I would recommend the adhesive from etechparts.com, probably a 3mm or 5mm roll. It's very strong.

Quick question: has anyone been able to replace just the digitizer and get it working 100%. I've tried 4 different new ones and none worked as it should. Most would work in large part, but not 100%. And the working areas varied from glass to glass. Ghost touches would appear if I bent the glass ever so slightly. The digitizer/lcd combo is a different story: no problem. This is very different from my experiences with the 7 2012. Anyone?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MiRaCL:

lcd and digitizer

So the inside of my nexus 7 2nd gen is cracked I'm guessing thats the lcd and the touch isn't responsive. Does that mean I need to replace the lcd and the digitzer? I also bought the lcd screen and touchscreen digitzer online separatly not assembled. I read that it's nearly impossible to put the lcd and digitzer together is that true?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] madbat99:
It's a special adhesive bond. I don't know if anyone has done it. If you need both, your best bet is to buy them pre assembled.

Easy way to remove the bezel

Thanks for the great article. It made disassembling my Nexus 7 pretty much a snap.

I once before tried this repair and managed to melt the bezel with the heat gun when attempting to remove the old lcd/digitizer. I didn't want to go through this again so I decided to try something new. I put the old screen, still glued to the bezel into a toaster oven set at a pretty low temperature--around 150 or less, I would guess. I left it there for about an hour and found that the glue had weakened and it was easy to pry the screen from the bezel. The top and bottom borders didn't easily come free but it only took a few minutes to scrape the glass and adhesive off with a knife. I think that if I had left the assembly in the oven for longer--two or three hours, say--the process would have been easier still.

I hope others find this useful. With this guide, taking apart and reassembling the Nexus is easy. My method pretty much eliminates the one serious hurdle to fixing the screen.

No, you'll need the LTE case too... the LTE board has a sim card slot built in and I believe it won't fit if there is no hole in the case for it, and in the case of mobile electronics we no longer speak of a hard drive, it's called NAND/EMMC/flash ;)

If the LCD assy and the digitizer is broken, then you'll need both: http://www.etradesupply.com/asus-google-nexus-7-2013-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-b-stock.html

If it's just the LCD then you can use this, but you'll need to be handy with a heat gun: http://www.etradesupply.com/asus-google-nexus-7-2013-digitizer-touch-screen.html

Just replaced the screen on my N7 2013 with a complete lcd, digitizer and frame. I followed all the steps but when I switch on screen stays black. I know the n7 is on as it makes the charging sound when I plug it in so it must be booted. I've checked all connections and they seem ok. Any idea what is the issue and what I could have damaged?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] madbat99:
Ribbon cables are very sensitive. And sometimes they don't plug in all the way. It's always possible that you got a faulty LCD+digitizer combo. It happens.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ghaeh:
It's been quiet here, but here's a recap of issues I've encountered.

AliExpress has proven a good source for parts, but delivery can take a few weeks. Typically I order multiples of parts so I can replace dead part without having to wait. Also I have two N7 2013s.

The LCD and touchscreen can be ordered with the frame which I find really handy, but you still have to heat gun the on/off/volume switch or order a new one.

If you order the frame you can get away with leaving the white flex cable connected to the main and USB boards - and perhaps camera and speakers.

The touchscreen is very sensitive to misaligned connection to the USB board and the flex cable at both ends.

Also the flex cable carries charging and data from the USB, and possibly rotation signals.

It helps to have a magnifier light.

Cleaning with Isopropyl alcohol can improve touchscreen response.

One tablet was not charging. New battery did not help. Realigning flex cable helped a bit, but finally replaced USB board and more USB cables worked.

Now I have a battery that is likely still good.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ghaeh:

You can leave the finicky, fragile white ribbon cable connected. Reconnection is problematic because the cable bends around the battery; so leave it connected!
