I got two broken Nexus7, can I fix one with the other?
Hello there,
I got two Nexus7. One has the LCD screen that doesn't display anything (but it emits sound and seems to be responsive).
The second one has a crack on the glass, and the touchscreen doesn't respond when I touch it (it was perfectly working before I made the crack). Its display still works beside the touch interface.
Can I use the glass of the first one with the LCD screen of the second one? Are they glued/fused together or is it possible to separate them and do such a replacement? And most importantly, do I have any chance to fix the broken touch input by only changing the cracked glass? :)
Thank you,
Ben
EDIT: I tried to open both devices. The display and the glass are welded together and there is no way to separate them without breaking something. BUT, i've been very lucky because I used the display-to-MB connector from the device with the cracked glass in the other one, and it worked again perfectly!
Thanks iFixit for the nice guides, helped me a lot.
