How do I know if I need the digitizer screen or the LCD display?

If the touch works you don't need the digitizer. But in the process of replacing LCD if you break the digitizer ribbon then you are out of luck. Better get both. I was able to replace the screen (LCD + digitizer) in under an hour and that was my first and only time.

The screen and digitizer does come with it. I was referring to the quality of the glass in another kit that I had bought previously.

You could replace the screen yourself that is if the digitizer is not broken.I tried to do just that (very tedious thing to do) and was not successful,ended up buying the whole unit Screen and digitizer fully assembled and easier to install. Look for installation video on youtube. Good luck.

If the screen still works i.e you can click icons etc. The you do not need the digitizer and this will work. If the screen is black and will not turn on and/or perform any touch tasks you need the digitizer

If the digitizer screen is the problem, but it might be the interfacing chip on the mother board.

I don't exactly know what the digitizer is except that I had read other reviews and only assumed I had broken mine when I didn't get the screen to show any content of the phone. So basically, I think the digitizer is what displays images. When I removed the screen and attempted to turn the phone back on- it powered up but wouldn't display anything. That is my very Not technical answer :)

Hi, this is just the replacement touch panel or digitizer.If you also have broken the LCD, this replacement does not serve.change a digitizer tablet or a mobile phone, is complex.you can irreparably damage the device.If you do not have experience in these devices, we advise you to contact a professional in your city.I hope having been helpful.

The screens ability to display the image and to sense your touch is together, both of those functions are included in this replacement kit. I do want tooint out that the motherboard also takes part in interpreting these functions provided by the screen. So as long as the motherboard is without issue, then I think this screen replacement is what you need.

yes. comes fully ready to install. (HINT: remove the two "cushions" that are on the bottom of the lcd. they'll cause interference with the new digitizer.)

If the screen isn't coming up with weird colors, it's just the glass and digitizer. The steps to replace the screen are complicated, so if you don't feel comfortable replacing it yourself, I suggest getting a professional to do it for you.

You need to determine if your display is broken or the glass. If you have a good clear display yet there are cracks in the glass then you need the glass, but if there are parts of the display that appear black and or missing then you need the lcd display. Then yes this kit would be all you need. Hope this helps.

This is the display screen only. The digitizer is the glass cover over the screen.

If the lcd is not messed up you only need the screen or what they call the digitizer screen

Hi Rachel, Nope, there is a digitizer that is also needed as even the "Pros" that I went to would not attempt repairing the screen without it. The price of both is around $165 for the necessary part(s) and the pros typically charge about $50 so your out of pocket would be a little over $200. Sorry for the bad news.

If you need one and if it is not included, you should be able to salvage the one you have from the broken screen. This is something you should check out before re-assembly to save yourself some trouble.

I bought the screen, and it comes with the digitizer and nothing else. It is extremely easy to swap over the camera and speaker from the old one though.
