I have an AT&T 4 3G. Glass is broken but LCD is fine. Must I replace the LCD or can I just use the glass and digitizer in the kit?

You must replace the glass and digitizer, since they are glued and there's no way you can detach one from other... You must buy the kit with the screen and digitizer.... Hope it helps

I believe this kit is the glass, lcd, and digitizer in one combo...very easy to replace. The parts come preassembled in this ket, so all you have to do is unplug the old and plug in the new (once you open iphone and remove necessary parts to get to screen).

First, this digitizer initially had dead areas on the lcd and failed completely after a few days. I recommend the kit from icracked which is also available from Amazon but cost a little more. Replacing this digitizer is not easy. You have to completely disassemble and reassemble the phone which takes about 1.5- 2 hours. I had to use a jeweler's magnifier in order to see the tiny screws. Good luck!

If the phone still works you only need a new screen. If you can't operate the phone then you need a new digitizer

If the phone is still operational, whereas the touch functions still work and a good picture, then it's just the glass you need. If the touch function isn't responsive, its the digitizer. If there is no picture, obvious crack in the picture, or color bleeding in the picture itself, then it is the LCD.

No that is the lcd display its self. If you can still read the display and there is a crack on top you need the digitizer. The display is a separate component directly below the digitizer. When you replace it they come out together and then separate them to replace each piece. Here is a good resource for instructions on how to do the job www.ifixit.com.

Like Natasha said it's on the new one. The digitizer is protected by plastic film on both sides that you strip off during installation. Be meticulous in cleaning the LCD display of the old glue and broken glass and keep the work area as dust free as possible. This phone is a little tricky so definitely check out Youtube for specifics.

No, its just digitizer without LCD. That makes it worthless because, for a customer to replace LCD is next to impossible. So, I would recommend that you but a complete set with Digitizer + LCD glued to the screen.

Yep mine broke and this is it. This is the replacement glass and digitizer.

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

A professional could replace your glass with just these parts. However, separating the glass from the LCD is a huge pain (they're glued together), and labor costs may be high. Buying the LCD display + touch screen digitizer assembly, while about 40 dollars extra up front, may gain you a net savings via reduced labor cost. I'd try to get quotes for both to be sure. Hope this helps.

No display means the LCD is brokeNo touch screen function means that the digitizer is broken..Both of which are much more expensive and risky to fix on your own rather than a cracked screen! You sound like you need new glass, and a new lcd screen!

You broke the LCD, you're going to need at least a new LCD, probably the "easiest" thing would be to simply get a new LCD/digitizer glass assembly and swap out the whole unit.

If it's just the outer screen that's cracked, you will just need to purchase the digitizer. I hope this helps.

The glass can be replaced seperatte from lcd but there is also the home button and the sticky tape gaskets. I have done both ways but the best and easiest was the all in one kit. The kit is simple and cost affective. Please be sure you check to see if it is a 3G or 3GS the clips for circuit board don't match so check the item description closely

This is probably the best bet, because even though the phone is cracked and still working you need to replace the digitizer and screen. But mine just stopped working. So beware, maybe try a diff supplier.

No it won't, you will need to buy the digitizer it comes with the screen also. This one is a scam because you can't just replace the glass because the glass is the same part as the LCD screen. Good digitizers run around $55 - $75 while the Cheaper crappy ones run around $20 - $45, I prefer to pay for the more expensive one because the crappy ones part of the screens don't work & it's super slow!

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
