I have a cracked screen with no video though. Leds are on and can hear sound but no visual.Will this digitizer restore video as well?

This item, which I purchased and used successfully, replaces the glass screen that covers your display. If your device is not displaying any image. You have more than a cracked glass panel, unfortunately.

The digitizer most likely will not restore video. the digitizer rests above the LCD and is an input device. The LCD is what displays video. Sounds like the LCD is damaged.

Yes, takes time, a heat gun, and patience. Start with the less broken part work it up and dig the tiny out after the screen is off. Be careful don't break the digitizer.

The digitizer is the black screen below the glass screen. Unless your a professional I would not recommend you attempt to replace just your glass, as you will most likely damage the digitizer in the process. I would recommend just buying the screen and digitizer as one piece and replacing it all. Runs about $80-$100

If your LCD is fine than yes you only need to replace the glass. As a heads up some sell just the glass and some sell the glass with the digitizer. The digitizer is the touch response component of the screen. If you buy it already together it is a much easier and quicker repair and cost difference is very little.

no this just the digitizer. As long as you have not cracked the LCD beneath it you should be fine. Mine works great now.

You could replace the screen with this digitizer although removing it is a hassle and lcd breaks easily, tried too, pulled on glass, broken. here's a better solution without worrying about the current lcd or just in case comes with digi and lcd Replace LCD DISPLAY Touch Screen Digitizer FOR LG Optimus E960 Google Nexus 4and a heat gun works well for removing glass although takes time and you can get burned if not careful

Hello,Based on my own experience, this is the problem with the LCD panel. In the case of mine, the digitizer (the touch glass) is cracked but still working, but there is a black strip along the crack on the LCD. After replacing the LCD, everything is working fine now.

If the glass is cracked and you can feel the crack it is the digitizer otherwise i would go eith the lcd

I would say yes. If this is apparently the only damaged parts, yes. It's hard to tell about any other internal issues, but you will figure out. Once you remove the cracked screen and display do an inspection looking for any other issue before you assembly the device again.

I need to know the symptoms before I can answer that question. Most generally these kits will repair it. Occasionally it will be the main board not the power board. If your screen is broken nothing will repair it.It worked well for those I repaired because the power board had bad caps.You can you tube videos they will teach you how to Id them.

It also has the digitizer, you just take the broken screen with the digitizer out and replace it with the new unit.

If the screen is actually physically broken NO, this kit will not fix it. The kit is to replace a bunch of capacitors and a fuse in the power supply.

You may not want to go this route. Even though replacing just the glass is the cheapest it is also the most time consuming and skill demanding repair. The glass, digitizer and LCD are fused together. Buying the $95-99 part with the tool kit is the best way. use iFixit.com to learn how to do the repair.

This is a replacement of the front digitizer "touch screen" only. This will not fix a problem with a broken LED or backlight.

Just make sure the strips are intact with tape and no damage to the digitizer. Mine came with plenty bubble wrap and works fine. The middle strip has to be lined up with the white line in order for screen to work. It has adhesive glue already on the new screen so its impossible to test. Just be careful

The LCD & Digitizer is the LCD screen and the touch sensor in one. If you are replacing a cracked screen then you have to replace the Digitizer as well. That is the difference. hope this helps

Glass digitizer-- will fix as long as you didn't break the LCD under the glass. I also used a heat gun.
