Only front display replacement or full LCD Touch Digitizer Screen?

As far as I know, separating the LCD from the front panel is extremely difficult at best. We here at iFixit tend to think it's not possible but a few rumors around the net indicate that it it is. We don't sell the front panel for that reason. I'll try to get someone who took apart the phone to explain it more in detail.

There are lots of Electronic on http://www.keepingtouch.com , You can email sales@keepingtouch.com to take one

There is no physical, intelligent, or magical way to separate the digitizer from the lcd without breaking them. Once they have been broken apart and no longer function properly or are independent of each other, they will never work again. go ahead at that point and take them out to the trash bin. These parts that are factory fused to work in cohesion with each other, are created to perform one way and that one way is fused together. If you come across an add that sells these parts separate, veer very far away because its just some moron trying to take your cash from its nice secure living place which is in the pants pocket or wallet and make you break it away from its security to buy his ever damaged, never to work again, garbage collection of iphone 4 parts. step away...step away...go now...go now to the land of fused digitizers and LCD's where honesty abounds and you can get an honest deal on the set. If it looks too cheap and true...it &^$# sure is!

While i appreciate that this thread is old, i have managed to repair many iphone 4 models with both lcd & digitizer 1 part versions and also just the digitizer only. I have also replaced the digitizer without surround bezel which is also quite difficult. There are many EBay sellers who supply factory bonded digitizer and lcd units but my advice is to buy what you can afford but buy genuine as the copies do not last very long and end up displaying white screens then you end up doing the job twice having paid for 2 parts & 2 fittings of course!

I have done approximately 200 iphone4 repairs..the entire digitizer /lcd unit..I have tried very unsuccessfully on about 25 of the damaged units to remove the LCD..I have tried various methods..from heat to razor knives..and even a chemical bond breaking agent..nothing worked..I didnt do this to reuse the Lcd..I wanted to test the rumour that it could be done..I have discoved that it cannot be done, and is not worth the effort to try..it is so much simpler to replace the entire unit..there is no risk of cutting your fingers with glass shards either..they are very painful..btw...and the entire unit on Ebay can be had for about 40 bucks..not alot for what you want..just make sure you follow the instructions closely and carefully..and put the screws in the order you took them out..there are 26 to be removed after all..and all different sizes..take your time and this is just about an hours work for an experienced tech..or 2 hours for a first timer..good luck..

If you don't heat it up you're going to crack it.

Just because you guys can't doesn't mean none can.

I repaired countless IPhones and none of which have i broken.

They are not factory fused or some magical thing apple does to kill the phone in case you break it.

You can just remove the assembly take out the freakin' logic board.

Heat the front casing corners and sides with blow dryer or heat gun then just stick a small flat screwdriver between the digitizer and the front casing to seperate them. Then replace it. Put some adhesive before placing it back and that's about it.

Its not possible to replace only glass, u need to get compleet original front screen panel. Replacement is also difficult it takes 60 minutes. I had same problem but I fixed mine with complete screen unit.

Maybe a few years ago it was impossible to remove the digitizer from the LCD, but in this day and age, most things are possible.

If you know where to look, you will be surprised.

Please note that this option to REMOVE A CRACKED/NON-WORKING digitizer from the LCD is NOT for everyone. I say this as the costs to remove a single cracked digitizer isn't worth the cost of the machine.

But if you're in the business, and you didn't realize that such a machine exists (to remove digitizers from lcds), then you shouldn't imply that such a machine does NOT exist.

buy the original parts the copy screens are really low quality. have a look at some pics her of how to tell the difference between copy and original

we sell original screens, our suppliers procure the original parts and assemble them in house so in effect its original parts + 3rd party assembly (as opposed to being assembled at Foxconn in China). See our profile for website link as we are not allowed to post promos in comments.

Fart on it. Then quickly sniff it up real good. Best if you react badly to something and consume it first for extra large, rank farts. The glue will melt like butter and you'll revel with the scent of the essence of apple from your very own butt. Be sure to first stand out your front door for three days then throw a few thousand dollars in the trash bin in order for it to be OEM.
