I read somewhere that the eLocity A10 will be shipping in late April. Do we know if this screen will fit in the gTablet? This seemed to be the most promising in earlier posts. Is there a way to get these screens even before the A10 is released?
[G Tablet General] dougmod:
+1 for hoping we can get a nice screen

swap success?

Anybody seen this yet?? At androidtablets.com

[G Tablet General] pgonza02:
Can you please provide a working link?

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] aasoror:
Here you are.

Quoted from the original Chinese thread (3/25)

So apparently its still a no go for us :(
[G Tablet General] hitekredneck:
You may want to get the domain name correct if you want folks to read about it.

It is at androidtablet.net, not androidtablet.com and the proper link follows:

11310-1366x768-lcd-screen-swap-success-reported-malata-t2-gtablet-cousin.html

Now I am gonna go and read up on it.
[G Tablet General] pgonza02:

Battery Life

Nice replacement moves. Quick questions, how much sanding had to be done? Also, how is the new screen affecting battery life?
[G Tablet General] ls1power:
LOL sorry this thing wouldnt let me post the link and it was 5am i wasnt thinking right.

So im about to sell my tablet, since it came out there havent been any good quality replacements for it and if there was going to be i think there should of benn one by now. i just bought it yesterday for 250 brand new but im gonna have to say good buy but good bye, the screen really bothers me and im gonna wait till something better comes out.
[G Tablet General] shawnee4885:
I think I am going to wait for the eLocity A10 to come out to see if those LCDs will fit. If it takes too long to release, or the screen doesn't fit, then I'll probably sell as well. I am looking for a higher res screen, plus a much better viewing angle. If I can spend an extra $50 and get that, I'll be happy.
[G Tablet General] aasoror:
Is it retailing for this price some where ?
[G Tablet General] decayed.cell:
Hm looks like someone over at ez-pad also got an AUO 1280x800 screen replacement working link (you'll need to register an account on the forum). But the cost is reportedly like 1700RMB to complete which is really expensive
[G Tablet General] ch3vr0n5:
The past couple of links look really promising. Any new news or updates? I'm just itching to ditch this horrible LCD d=
[G Tablet General] LanEvo:
The price for another one of these tablets, wow.
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
And as per Google translate still required a modified case. Due to a size difference.

Definitely what is NOT needed.
[G Tablet General] sleepywilloe:
Cracked glass...

Does anyone have the exact specifications of the dimensions of the glass overlay? Length, width, height, thickness and radius of curved edges? If I can get my hands on those figures, I might be able to order some custom cut tempered glass. It will probably be alot thicker than the original overlay, but hopefully it will be that much stronger.:D
[G Tablet General] decayed.cell:
Okay I did some research, and all of these LCD panels will fit:

AUO B101AW06-V1

AUO B101AW02

ChiMei N101L6-L0D

Samsung LTN101NT02-C01

HannStar HSD101PFW3

Chunghwa CLAA101NB03A

What would be really good is if we could figure out how to get another 1.6mm in thickness (custom glass? custom casing?). These panels are all 3.6mm thick. The good ones are 5.2mm thick.
[G Tablet General] Sypher006:
are any of these ips screen by any chance?
[G Tablet General] decayed.cell:
They don't make an IPS in 10 inch that you can buy easily
[G Tablet General] petithor:
hi ,is this one good?:http://www.laptop-lcd-screen.co.uk/...ANSFORMER-TF101-10.1-LAPTOP-SCREEN-_13514.asp

it's a replacement screen for the eeepad transformer
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
It does not list the actual part#, additionally it does not list the physical dimensions. The reason we have been unable to locate a good replacement is the unique thickness of this low viewing angle netbook screen. As mentioned earlier in the postings we need a less than 4mm thick screen at the right physical height, and width. Without that the case needs to be modified, not a very feasible possibility.
[G Tablet General] y2k-inc:
so maybe all the screen will work, there are for Lenovo S10-2 and the same are used for Archos 101 tablet.

Where you could cut out a gasket or maybe a washer?
[G Tablet General] decayed.cell:
No the case has to stick out i.e. whole glass front needs to be raised 1.6mm
[G Tablet General] EL TEJANO:
This whole lcd viewing angles thing got me thinking: Is it the base lcd itself giving off bad angles or is it the film layer on the lcd?

If it's the film layer then simply removing that may yield some good results.

Again if you partake in the following task you do so at your own risk.

http://kyorune.com/modding/article.php?id=21
[G Tablet General] tahngarth:
I've actually wondered this for a while when I noticed a "Polarizer" referenced in one of the docs about the panel (or possibly a different one). One of my big gripes about this isn't so much the viewing angles but the weirdness of the image when viewed in portrait and the waves of refracted light when viewing a primarily black image (FBReader in night mode). I'm not adventurous enough to try this right now though.
[G Tablet General] EL TEJANO:
Just realized something & I thought I would point it out before anyone attempts doing this if they choose to do so: The link I posted outlining the procedure is for non-touch screen lcd's. So I'm not too sure how much a touch screen differs in relation to this procedure. Is the touch layer physically integrated onto the lcd itself (i.e adhered) or is the touch layer a simple overlay that requires no special removal procedure to get to the lcd's actual anti-glare film?

Food for thought...

Also please remember folks that there are TWO layers: one is the anti-glare layer & beneath that is the polarizer film. In no way do you want to remove the polarizer film, if you do, you might as well just buy you a new lcd.
[G Tablet General] mkmagu:
Bumping this and wondering if anyone knows if the screen for this tablet will work.

asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101

It's a 10.1 screen that is IPS.
[G Tablet General] xendrome:
Are you suggesting buying a $550 tablet, to strip the screen out of to put into a $299 tablet?
[G Tablet General] M..N:
Or just buy the replacement lcd
[G Tablet General] pmcnano:
Probably he's wondering whats the part number to get the screen not the tablet ¬¬
[G Tablet General] mkmagu:
Yes and if anyone knew if it was good replacement, The topic is after all "Replacement Screen for G Tablet" BTW I'm a She not a He but you would not know that by my posting ;)
[G Tablet General] tenet420:
I love how the webz can remove that layer from the game.
[G Tablet General] kicker22004:
I would like to know about that eee. Screen possibly fitting in our gtabs.....used one today and damn their screen rock......
[G Tablet General] dre20745:
Glass not screen... need replacement outer glass.??

So my tab has been traveling along with me everything plane ride but this on particular ride it the "L" basically it still works but the out glass is severely cracked..:( need leads on replacing just that outer glass shell..:confused:

Thanks folks..!!
[G Tablet General] jhcomputerguy:
Is there any update to this? The viewing angles are horrible so a replacement screen would be welcomed.. Plus maybe a higher resolution screen if possible?
[G Tablet General] Elmojo:
So I've been through the thread...

Do I understand correctly that no one has actually replaced their screen with another one?

I love my gTab, but the screen is REALLY bothering me.

If this tablet had a decent screen, it would be nearly perfect!

Any updates appreciated.

-Elmojo
[G Tablet General] jhcomputerguy:
Good luck with that one.. I have been waiting as well..
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
The issue is the screen thickness. That is the issue holding up replacements. All screens that have better viewing angles are thicker than the original, and would require modifiying the case to fit it.

I have still not given up hope, and regularly check the replacement LCD retailers for anything new. with all the new 10.1" HC tablets eventually there is bound to be one that will fit the gtab.
[G Tablet General] Xargon321:
probably the best thing to so would be to source just the lcd panel with no backlight and use the backlight we have so we can get the right thickness its more work and not for the fainthearted or tech noobs but i think it our best shot
[G Tablet General] cruiser771:
how about the new galaxy tab 10.1, the screen on that is sure to be thinner than ours, and it uses pls technology. if we're gonna replace the screen, might as well do it with something extremely better
[G Tablet General] jjq13:
screen

Why is it if rotate the tablet the viewing gets better? Meaning I flip it upside down. Is it possible to open up the tablet and flip the screen? Thanks
[G Tablet General] decayed.cell:
You would have to flip the android display in software too
[G Tablet General] gierso:
I dont think the connector would reach when inverted either

G Tablet Question

So...

I go out to my car one night and sit my groceries and gtablet in it's case on the back of my car. I unlock my car, grab my groceries, then I drive off. I get a minute down the road before I realize (long day at work if you know what I mean).

I turn around and come back, find it dead center in the middle of the main road I pulled out onto. Thought maybe it'd be ok but have some scratches on the outside (it's in a pretty cushioned case). Sure enough even though it was dead center in a 2 laner a car had run over it.

Status:

Tablet works. Glass is broken, half the LCD is broken. I called the warranty # and explained the situation (already knowing it was not covered) and I was told to either A: Search for a replacement LCD on ebay or whereabouts on google or B: I can send in my unit and pay $175 for a refurb one to be sent back.

The saddest part is I got it on woot back when they had it for like $280 and I only had it a month before I let this happen.

I have a few questions.

The touch technology itself is in the LCD or another component of the tablet?

Is there a replacement glass screen for this unit?

What would you do?

I do work on Laptops all the time and have replaced a few LCD's here and there but I have never dealt with touch and I am aware that the glass component and lcd are 2 seperate things here. If they cost less to fix I may go that route instead of the $175.

Thanks for any info.
[G Tablet General] y2k-inc:
The Touch screen (or digitizer) is the one that your feel and touch, which you call it "Glass is broken". It sit on top of the LCD and up to now, only VS will fix it, i did not find a place that sell this part.

Yes, there is 2 or maybe 3 LCD that can fit this table, one is the original: AUO B101AW06 V.1 (or V.0), Infovision Optoelectronics M101NWT2-R0 or AUO B101AW02 V0 ...

Hope that help
[G Tablet General] projectzro:
OK first i found this site explaining what affects viewing angles. most of it was greek to me because i dont know much about LCD screens, but it was helpful. seeing as LCD is out dated and crap to begin with is there any way to fit an LED,OLED, or AMOLED screen in or tablets. i know it's prolly a dumb question but hay it's worth asking.

EDIT:

OK i did some more research and learned that the screen we have is an led screen well TFT to be exact and is a bottom LED lit display. so the question is do they make an OLED screen that is 10.1 inches and has the right connector for the gTablet. But an AMOLED would be more practical for battery life, i think an OLED screen would be more obtainable.

Got my info from Here
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
There are in my opinion, two aspects to the question.

1) can it be done?

2) at what cost?

If you read through this entire thread (which I've followed from the beginning), you will find that there are very few screens that even fit properly into our G-Tabs. No one has found that magic bullet of a better screen, right connector, fits in the case). There is a separate thread about a higher resolution screen having been successfully replaced (BigIdeas Thread).

Now, the big issue is cost. I just checked E-Bay and it looks like G-Tab's are still bringing at least $200.00 (maybe more depending on accessories, condition, etc). A new Transformer or Iconia can generally be had for $400.00, and if you catch one of the tablet coupon deals, etc, maybe even less.

Is it worth the cost/effort and potential destruction of your G-Tab?

I've followed this thread and the thread where they successfully added an internal GPS module. I'd love to do it, but at the end of the day, it just doesn't make financial sense to me. I'm glad these guys have done what they did. It's been very educational. But at the end of the day, I'll either buy a Transformer, or just wait until the fall when the next round of Tablet hardware comes out
[G Tablet General] Reckn:
replace screen

I know this is going to sound dumb. The screen has a line running down vertically. Shows up in both bootloader and is aways there when the screen is on.

Is there a screen i can order OEM that is the same screen? I dont need upgrades stuff like that but just a simple OEM replacement LCD screen?
[G Tablet General] DarkHorse281:
Just a thought

I don't know crap about the screens in general but I had an idea that I haven't seen mentioned. Has anyone given thought to the possibility of using an LCD picture frame screen. I don't know if it's possible or if it's even in the same realm of possibility, but I thought it should be mentioned. You know what they say, the only dumb question is the one that you don't ask.
[G Tablet General] litesout:
Again, you'd have to find that right combination of size and connector to get it to work. More than likely you're not going to find that. If you provide a model number, it could probably be cross referenced though. The longest of long shots, but a pretty good idea considering the cost of a digital frame.
[G Tablet General] modfrenzy:
Any new updates on this? I'm checking this thread everyday...

I'm hoping with this quarter of new tablets and such we will see more manufactures start selling screens as well.
[G Tablet General] ngosine:

[G Tablet General] pattyboh:
Anyone have any luck? I have cracked my screen and really don't want to buy a new tablet
[G Tablet General] bologdl:
Not going to happen

Tme to give this up. With all of the new tablets it will not be cost prohibited. Sell your tablet and upgrade to a new one if the screen still bothers you. Sorry but this had to be said.
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
I have to agree, dosen't seem a solution was ever found for a replacement LCD.

My solution was getting an Asus Transformer, not only is the screen AWESOME but everything works. On my g tablet my widgets would at times break and certain apps would not work with the ROM I was using, changing ROM would make one app work but break another.Could never find a perfect solution. But am pretty happy now.
[G Tablet General] jooky2000:
I also bought an Asus Transformer after 6 months of happy Gtab use. It satiated all of the things I disliked about the Gtab. It is still in prime usage with my friend who uses it as a TV watching supplement and baby monitor (via IP Cam) with the dock.

Long live the GTab!
[G Tablet General] z00mantwo:

i read through all the threads, but don't think anyone made a conclusion about

the ChiMei N101L6-L0D screen.

floatpoo was supposed to get it back in dec 2010, but ended up getting the LG one instead, which he said is horrible [pg 7]

so has anyone checked if the chimei fits and is decent?

(I know decayed.cell added it on the list of panels that "should" fit [pg 31], but I think he was speaking theoretically here, not from experience)

http://www.panelook.com/modeldetail_parameter.php?id=1948 shows that it's a tad better than our AUO screens

(500 contrast instead of auo's 400 contrast and 45/45/20/45 viewing angle instead of auo's 45/45/15/35)

http://www.panelook.com/modeldetail_parameter.php?id=14038 for AUO screen specs

and ebay has it for $55:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/18059474011...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_2273wt_1187

so if someone can give me a heads up, that'd be great. thank you.
[G Tablet General] drizzt5:
Good research and it still saddens me that no one has found a replacement screen. I've got not problems opening up my tablet and putting in a new screen if it means I can fix these god awful viewing angles on an otherwise great tablet.

My biggest problem is, I'm not gonna put $50 into the tablet without a good chance of a good screen.
[G Tablet General] decayed.cell:
It's because the dimensions are retarded internally in the tablet. Some modification of the frame has to be made for them to theoretically fit, and if it doesn't theoretically fit then theres no chance of it possibly fitting. Besides, you then have to figure out the software side of things too
[G Tablet General] haveigonemental:
I think at this point the easiest thing, and least cost prohibitive, would be to figure out if the panel in fact has an anti-glare layer on it. Simply removing that would certainly improve the viewing angles. Is anyone able to verify if that is the case?
[G Tablet General] falcaraz:
Any updates on the lcd replacement? I'm hoping to replace my screen soon :(
[G Tablet General] Apodidae:
Has anyone looked into Pixel Qi? I know that they came out with a screen replacement for netbooks. Since the gTablet screen is based on a netbook screen, possibly they have a screen that might fit?

It would be interesting to have a Pixel Qi screen in a tablet, switchable for outdoor viewing.
[G Tablet General] dgreystone:
Changing the Screen

As a serious mod'er, I have changed a lot of things. One important issue about changing screen is even though an exact screen size may fit in the physical case, there is little way to know if the connectors are the same. If one has to mod the case, then it will be hard for it to 'feel' normal even if one is able to mount it.

The screen connectors and cables are fragile and if moved around a little, they can easily break. It is very difficult to solder new wires on a broken ribbon cable. In addition, the connectors sometimes have these very small clamps that keep the cables mounted in the socket. If this gets goofed, even in the slightest, then it all becomes useless hardware.

Yes, the screen angle could be better, but at what cost; so doing this mod you could end up with a working board, but cannot get the screen to work?

I am hoping that better tabs come out where we can improve the software on our own but still give us solid hardware platform to use.

Viewsonic came very close to this.
[G Tablet General] sammathew:
If you have a G tablet and if your screen got damaged. It is wise to get it replaced rather than getting it replaced.
[G Tablet General] psyke777:
Summary:

This tablet uses a laptop screen rather than a tablet screen. Laptop screens are not expected to be viewed from the bottom since this is where the base/keyboard/mousepad/desk normally is.

Therefore this tablet needs to be treated like a laptop when viewing it. You can't lay it on the desk and use it, just as you would not lay a laptop screen flat and expect to read it.

Buy a cover/stand and stand the unit up like a picture frame. Then move the software buttons to the bottom rather than the top of the screen. You can also plug in a mouse.

No viable proper tablet screen has been found to fit into the unit as a replacement. It is a shame that such great hardware was let down by a wrong screen type being used!
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
i will be looking further in to doing this.

i am keeping the device for development purposes, but like everyone else, the screen kills me and is a chore to look at.

if anyone attempts this, please report back.

thx.
[G Tablet General] Stretch2m:
Amazing difference! Thank you for this tip.
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
I don't think turning it upside down make the viewing angles better, just different. Right side up make it look good from a more direct head-on view. Upside down make it look good from an angled view (for example laying it flat on the table). Any angle than the one it look good in, pretty much sucks. This you be easier for me to live with if I could get all programs to rotate depending on if I want to view it from head-on or more flat. For example videos and games only want to play in one orientation.

Vertical viewing is not very good. You have to tilt it to the left or right depending on witch end your holding up for it to look ok.

After TnT lite 2.2 I can live with the screen, but would rather not have to.
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
based on what I have seen from the breakdown thread... this device seems REALLY easy to take apart.

I wish the movement on someone trying to swap out the screen was better.

I wont get my g-tab till xmas *hopefully* and I have been searching for a better screen replacement.

Does anyone have a good picture of the LCD connector ribbon?

EDIT: Too bad the Pixel QI is so expensive because it would probably look amazing in this tablet!

I think of someone found a decent screen and was a test subject and swaped them out and it worked alot of us would jump on it.

I know if someone found and IPS screen and got it working I would do the swap in a second.

That's a prototype from Samsung, using their own 1.8mm thick plastic substrate 10.1" LCD that isn't available on the open market. I'm sure it rocks, but it only exists in Samsung's labs at the moment. Also not clear that it is IPS, though I'm certain it's much better than the LCD in our G Tablets right now.
