i wonder why those manufacturer needs to put a high sticky adhesives behind the lcd for n82 it sucks i broke mine upon i replace it! i try to be carefull but it doesnt help. does anyone had an idea why they need to put that kind of strong glue behind? they can put even just a little bit at the center as big as a piece of rice right? damn idea.

They use the glue as a seal against dirt and dust. It makes it difficult to remove the existing screen, but if you're careful (or happen to order a frame to go with the screen) you can put it together easily. You should make sure when you put it back together that you re-use the glue or use some sort of putty so dust doesn't get in.

Does anyone know the average price for an original nokia n82 lcd screen?

I suppose on Ebay there are lots of fake lcd screens, isn't it?

[pytchfork]

Not sure - probably also very cheap. My potentially 'fake' screen has held up perfectly well and fit just fine, too. Since the fakes are made by molds from an original, I don't know that you'd be able to tell the difference anyway.

Actually, now that I think about, I wonder whether mine is real or fake.

[gianluca21c]

All right, but the real problem is the warranty! As I know the warranty is no longer valid if I replace an old screen with a non-original screen. That's why I asked you.

(Anyway, thanks for the reply)

[pytchfork]

Warranty?

[gianluca21c]

I mean the Nokia Guarantee (sorry for my English).

damn.. got one on ebay for $15 and it's look like bad color.. well, it's ok. not as nice as original. Worth the replace. Thanks though!

[bangity]

I cracked my LCD thrice just now.. Thanks a lot! lol.. anyway.. got new one to replace

[maxligema]

do you need a phone lock code if you replace the lcd?

[pytchfork]

No, you don't. I had to because I have a phone and SIM lock. A phone without any locks would have booted up as normal, without any code entry.

what happened there? Did u change your keyboard as well? BTW, the process doesn't seem quite complete. Do you know which glue can be used to glue the new lcd on place? Also I think the screen cover is glued right? I just want to be sure there won't be dust.

[pytchfork]

I didn't change the keypad - I wanted to remember the crash by keeping the scratched up keys. A thin double-sided glue tape works best (not to be confused with double-sided scotch tape).

You're wise to worry about the dust. For total safety, using a thick gummy type of glue would be good. Something that can be removed later, such as a silicon sealant.

[cfgauss]

Thank you!

I don't know why but suddenly my screen has some black lines of (dead pixels) and I didn't even drop it. Strange! They started one day, increased the next day, and the third day I had 2 lines from side to side.

Anyway since I got it from "third party" importers if I take it there probably I'd just get the LCD exchanged at maybe some cost. And since I didn't like the way the guys work there I better do it myself carefully. :)

ur keypad got blue leds? looks nicer

[pytchfork]

Use a thin plastic shim and squeeze it between the clear plastic screen cover and the outside plastic casing. Then pry the clear plastic screen loose.

How do you pry it loose without denting the case?
