- Confused on what is digitizer, LCD of your phone? This video is short description of what digitizer, LCD, AMOLED is. Now you can determine what is what when you have broken screen on your smart devices.
Summarized: Your "screen" has 3 layers: [1] the LCD screen that displays the image you see, [2] the digitizer that senses your touch [3] the glass that protects the digitizer and LCD. Some companies merge the components together for cost or other reasons, but this might mean that the replacement part is too expensive, and it would cost less to purchase a new phone.
8 years ago and still a good find.
I'm studying for the CompTIA A+ and seeing a digitizer on it's own adds perspective to the tech. Thanks!
Thank you for your video demo and explanations. I appreciate you sharing your talents. I've learned so much from kind people on youtube.
THNX, i just shattered my mobile glass.. this video made me understand what should i get replaced/repaired. not the digitizer or lcd just the glass
Alot of us think when. The glass is shattered we have to change the lcd as well but thats not always the case its just easier to change everything to some people its risky to change the glass
@@cordelialucien4402 yep, its much harder if we dont have the right tools. we might end up damaging yhe lcd screen

Nice, the two phone brands I'm using right now.
Really helpful video, will save me a lot of cash. I was told to replace the LCD when only the digitizer needs replacing.
Very valuable video. My iPhone 5 digitizer not working after dropped. but lcd is is work properly. Can i replace digitizer only without lcd ?
Man thank you very much
You cleared my confusion
Best explanation
Thanks for explanation. Loved it. But I have some questions, please answer it
1) Can only Lcd screen be changed if touch is working and glass is not broken?
2) Now does most phones come with digitizer fused with glass? and they have basically two layers.
3) My phone is Oppo A54 and i dropped it on floor and touch is working but it has cracks on screen, so my display is broken or glass ? What I need to replace?
4) Is tempered glass different than glass you shown and should we use tempered glass
5)Does display get damaged due to heat during changing of touch glass?
nowadays I think all manufactures make touch and LCD fused as it makes digitizer more accurate. If OPPOA54 is OLED, it's fused 100%. Display (LCD/OLED) can be damaged by high heat. It discolors it mostly.
thanks for telling, I want to learn about LCD and other TQ for sharing, Nice Channel and good Video.
i watch many u tube video on lcd repairs fo far you stand out as the best of them ,you are simply the best , do you have more video real enjoy it thanks
SO helpful! you described my exact problem... the cracked glass and top half non-touch responsive. thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to explain and show everything in detail. This is very helpful.
Hello sir..
Can u plz explain me about IBALL tablet model " SLIDE OCTA a41"
Actually the uper sceen(glass) of tablet got cracked but LCD is quite fine
When i called service centr they said glass alone cant be fixed, i ve to replace whole package(glass+lcd) coz its combine( folder) nd cost about 3800 rs
But whn srchd on net maxbhi.com providing TOUCH SCREEN DIGITIZER (cost 820) separately to fix it (without lcd)
Im just confused..
Plz.. help wht shd i ve to do...??
Thanks G Parc. Could you please tell what adhesive to use to fix the glass to the digitizer. I broke the glass on my Mi max. Got the glass, was able to tear down the phone just don't know what adhesive to use.
Any tips on removing the digitizer from the glass if the glass is just fine and there's only a few letters that won't press in various areas of the screen?
What would I do when outer glass and digitiser glued on it has no breaks while LCD unit cracked and liquid come out from it ..!?
Hello sir, thanks for this video..
Now I have better understanding about these two components.
so.... if the phone is unresponsive, but i can still see the wallpaper/ images, what i only need is the digitizer, is it? because i quite understand in my research of their respective importance: lcd is the one who shows images and digitizer is responsible for touch response
Very valuable video. My iPhone 5 digitizer not working after dropped. but lcd is is work properly. Can i replace digitizer only without lcd ?
I dropped my phone on the floor and I got a faded black screen I have an LG Rebel 4 so I took it apart , there's was all kinds of an oily substance there which I cleaned with screen cleaner , there are only small fine lines in the LCD like I saw on your vid , my display ribbon seems to be fine . What could be wrong and what could I do ?
May the Lord bless you son and keep guiding you in the right direction.AMEN
Hi! my daughter just broke the screen of my Samsung Tab A 2018,10.5 SM-T595.
The screen is still navigable - I can swipe my fingers around the screen. It is responsive. The problem is the crushed/broken/shattered portion of the screen hurts my finger and wounds it.
I do not know if ths problem is LCD or just digitizer or glass. Could you help me?
thankyou so much first one to explain it so clearly great
I had the same phone until yesterday when I dropped it outside 😩. It cracked bottom right corner. Screen cracked, barely see screen. This video is so helpful.
Are all smart phones touch glass digitizer connected with a ribbon cable?
a very valuable video! thanks bro!
Very clear explanation... 10/10... Thanks for the clarification...
Nice explanation.... I like it.. Good job sir.. We proud of you
Thank you so much for this video. I can now tell the difference. However, to gain clarity on a particular issue, I want to present my situation.
1) I have a Samsung Galaxy J8 phone. It is responsive to touch (so, I am guessing the digitizer still works). However, there are several lines that appear on the phone. I am unable to tell if this is an LCD problem, or just the screen glass.
2) I have an Iphone Xsmax. I can visibly see everything (cause the display is still perfect), there are no lines on it. However, only the bottom part of the screen is responsive. The upper part isn't responsive anymore, so I am guessing this one is a digitizer problem, and oh! the screen glass has some cracks on it too. Please, correct me if my diagnosis is wrong.
J8 with line mean that LCD is damaged. Xs Max with bottom touch working is most likely digitizer issue. if no damage, but no touch means, touch sensor on motherboard needs repair.
@@ifixsmartphone9079 Thank you very much for your response. I would like to show you a visual representation of my issue , and ask about something related to it. How may I reach you? Email, WhatsApp, Instagram?
The digitizer of my phone stopped working after dropping my phone on its back but when I did a bent test on my phone it worked all of a sudden and the touch screen works too.
This is one of the most informative videos I've ever watched thank you very much
I feel like it would take longer to put on six individual finger cots rather than just two nitrile/vinyl gloves
Yeah, so if I wanted only the glass, i order the lcd? It doesn't say glass, omly lcd ans digitizer?
Hi
I have Lg v400 tablet. Screen not broken but i think digitizer not working in some areas. Can the digitizer only be changed or both the glass and digitizer together as the video says glass and digizer are together?
What happen if you touch the moist between lcd and digitizer without gloves
Can u help pls my htc desire 816 screen is good screen work nothing problems but touch is not working what should u suggest should I have to change complete screen in new or should have to buy digitiser panel.reply pls
i can only see my display about 10% because the other 90% black screen no light. I guess my LCD is broken and probably digitizer too. Luckily i always set my phone develepor option and usb debug turn on. So i can use scrcpy . Thanks for the explanation
Only if the screen cracks, does that mean I can change the digitizer ?? As my phone's touch pad is working perfect.my phone's Lenovo k8 note ,......
this is a good explanation. it cleared my confusion. thanks
Got a tablet but it was cracked. Sent it to repair shop but some parts of the screen won't function properly after screen replacement. What's wrong?
I wanna replace my screen because it cracked and some horizontal lines are now slowly showing, and thats why i know theres something wrong about my LCD as well. Theres this ifixit website that says "Galaxy S8 screen + digitizer assembly" does it have an LCD on it? O.o
The lcd is the problem sir not digitizer
Thanks dude. Previous repair guy cheated me. Now the screen digitiser is faulty again, obviously he replaced the whole screen with some cheap part. Did not last a year.
Or he could have just replaced the glass and charged me for the full screen as the price is 3x the price if I bought the full screen myself.
These are the kind of businesses that makes consumers do their own repairs and buy stuff online.
I need the glass only for an HTC desire 12 + , anybody know where to get that?
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you explained that. But it brings on another question. If I wanted to reverse engineer the flex ribbon cable to work with a motherboard that requires separate ribbons how would I go about doing that?
Can you explain little more? Kinda lost in your question.
@@ifixsmartphone9079 Samsung smartphone motherboards use a 34 pin ribbon combination cable for the digitizer and LCD screen. How do you separate the two for use on a separate motherboard that requires the digitizer and LCD screen to clamp into two separate places?

Great description! Thank you it helped me a lot.
Thank you for watching it. Glad it helped.
Sir. What is the use of that copper plate at the back of lcd/led?
thanks a lot... But we use Screen Gaurd or secondary glass too to protect LCD/LED screen, Digitizer or Touch and phone's screen glass... 🤗

Please reply
you perfectly explaind everything ! keep it up subbed
Thank you for the explanation
As others said, best explanation , thankyou.
Very good information, I was confused, but this video clarified the doubt, thank you.
Clear description, thanks brother
What is the copper/aluminium foil in te back of Samsung LCDs? (The one that is attached to the body of the cell phone) I always break them when i'm disassembling screens
Same question. It may be past 2 years comment. Maybe u already know what the purpose sir? Cause i also want to know
@@dishhh5066 Some say that it is used to evenly distribute the heat generated by the screen towards the structure of the phone
@@cristianpuentes8319 so it kinda serves as a heatsink huh . Also in my hypothesis i think maybe it also serves as a base to lcd/led maybe? Because lcd/lcd alone is so fragile . Not sure about it thoug. Btw thank you so much for you reply sir 😊
My OnePlus X screen broke. But it still working. So what i need to change ? Digitizer Screen or Glass ? Help me out ?
my touch screen , crazy, random behavior...wht should i replace
it click like crazy
That is digitizer problem. You can't replace digitizer only in most cases though.
ok thx u
why cant we replace a digitizer? if cannot replace digitizer, means that we can only discard it & buy a new phone?
@@second_second_ u can change the digitizer
what will do when screen has a huge amount of dead pixels in samsng s8
Got a cracked screen on my samsung galaxy mega 6.3 but touch won't. Work do i need digitizer? Thanks
I want to ask a question, my father broke his LG Spirit 4G LTE outer glass and I would like to replace it, the touch screen still works so the digitizer is ok, but from what I understand it's a pain to separate the digitizer form the glass, now I wonder if the digitizer is glued on the LCD as well? If not I can order a digitizer and just replace it without having to glue it to the LCD?
I believe you can replaced glass/digitizer only on that model. I don't think LCD is fused to glass. for this model digitizer is fused to glass.
I brought a tablet Asus Zenpad 3s10 Z500m. It got a small crack about half inch on the bottom right and the touch was non responsive from top to bottom about half inch. Then on the 2nd day, the half screen of tablet was non responsive and finally on 3rd day about 98% of tablets touch function was non responsive. There is 1 or 2 spot where touch is responsive however making the entire tablet non touch. I am using otg cable to attach bluetooth mouse to use it.
My question is: If there are some spots where touch works, does that mean the digitizer is fine and i only have to replace the screen?
Unfortunately, i cannot seem to find the digitizer for this tablet anywhere. Please help me somebody.
sulav_rock you only need to replace the glass
Touch is not working on my phone but display is working should I replace digitizer or lcd
I got lcd display of my phone damaged and have big black spots on it..but the touch still functions...that means the digitizer is in perfect condition...and I was able to find the lcd without the digitizer...should I buy it...can I attach my exist working digitizer to the new display?
It depends on the model. most phones now digitizer/LCD fused. In that case, even you found LCD, you won't be able to do it as digitizer will not be saved if you have to separate LCD/digitizer.
I have just broked my screen and I am not really sure exactly what it is. The screen works perfect, I can touch the screen in all the areas well and everyhting works okay, but the screen sometimes gets a bit blury and with different collors lines over the screen when pressed the power button.
Please help me with it because I am confused and I am trying to save some money.
Thanks, all the best!
My z3 xperia screen got cracked, for a while you can see the background functioning but soon after that it just gone dead, is this the lcd that need to be replaced and glass
xperia screen comes as one piece: glass, digitizer, LCD are fused. You need to replace whole front module. It's cheaper that way.
thank you so much for your reply, do you think i should try repairing it myself?

Great video!...pleas I have a question my phone works fine when I use it...but when I try to game and it gets hot I start experiencing ghost touches when it cools down it returns to normal...is the problem with the digitizer?
Yes and no. but I doubt if it will fix issue even you replace digitizer. when it gets hot, cpu is probably throttling and that is why you may have touch issue.
My digitizer gets overwhelmed or something because sometimes my screen becomes unresponsive but it does respond sometimes.
I've had it in for repair 2 times and the first time they swapped out the motherboard or whatever and it didn't fix it.
The second time they didn't find any errors so they just reinstalled the software but nothing has really changed. It still stops responding to my touch after some time.
Actually, when I picked it up out of the box when I got it yesterday, it wasn't responding to my touch. This is really annoying.
does your screen get wet ? not wet with water but like cold screen that you have to wipe off?if so i can help
@@benlopez.8056 my daughters samsung tab 4 has no crack but did get wet. Was working fine then all of a sudden had black spotting. Then whole screen went black a few weeks later. Can I change just the lcd screen to fix it?
Thanks for the video , I don't know much about screen but I got it all
So are the LCD and digitizer the same thing? If not, what's the difference?
Super awesome.
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks alot. It carried away all my doubts.
Ok so i cracked my iphone screen decently bad and my phone still turns on and everything but 75% of the time when i press on my screen it wont recognise it as anything being touched or it will open a bunch of random stuff without my touching the screen. but like my finger print works fine to unlock the phone and everything. Any ideas what the issue is? If i replace the screen will it fix the issue?
ghost touch is due to bad digitizer. replace whole screen and it will be fixed.
@@ifixsmartphone9079 ok thank You
thanks a lot.. i just want to be clear, so iphone 4s using old technology that combine screen glass, lcd, and digitizer all together right??
yes and that is not old tech. most companies uses it nowadays.
okay.. tq very much sir.
Sir? I have a question. Everything looks so fine in my phone which is the samsung galaxy a7 2017. there is no crack, scratches, or anything else on the screen. But there is ghost touch. Can you please help me?
Anything with touch issue is related to digitizer.
Hi there. I'm a bit confused on what exactly I'm supposed to be buying for my lg g3. I dropped it the other day and it ended up getting a deep cracked spot right on top of where it shows the time(the time while on lock screen) The cracks are spread out around the crack/hole thing like a spider web and there's also cracks that seem to be under the glass that go all the way down almost to the bottom of the screen and they go all the way to the top as well. The whole top of the screen doesn't work and the only numbers that it will let me press on the lock screen are 2,7,9,0 and 5. It can't be unlocked at all. What exactly should I be buying to fix this problem? Thank you!
just by LG G3 front screen aseembly including LCD. You can replace digitzer only on LG G3 but not worth the time and cost.
Dou you mean the mid frame bezzel?
no need to get mid frame.
Could you link me one on ebay or something? I don't want to accidently buy the wrong thing. Thank you:)
Would you possibly be able to tell me anything about my situation? I dropped my Note 5 barely cracked the screen in the top corner and it just has never worked again and I just dropped my note 4 yesterday and it did not cracked the screen and it's not working now either and they both have the blue light on and nothing else ...... I know that Note 5 is really expensive to get the replacement part and I'm looking into the Note 4....... Is there any way there could be a cheap fix? Just being hopeful Merry Christmas
sounds like you have cracked AMOLED of your device. currently there isn't much difference is prices of Note 4 and Note5. You will have to get complete unit glass/digitizer/LED.
how can you tell if a digitizer is broken? my phone is green and does not allow me to see the screen at all. i'm thinking that the digitizer is broken. is this the case? note 9
if you see green display, it means display / AMOLED is damaged. that has nothing to do with digitizer. you will need whole new display module.
hey please reply me if possible i'm using my phone lastnight and then i'm shocked that the half of the phone is not functioning well i tried to open any apps but it clicks the wrong app what do you think the problem maybe?please i want to know i want to fix it😭😣😥
Everytime where there is an issue with a touch, it's digitizer 99%.
my daughters samsung tab 4 has no crack but did get wet. Was working fine then all of a sudden had black spotting. Then whole screen went black a few weeks later. Can I change just the lcd screen to fix it? It still turns on but black screen kinda flashes a bit but still stays black. Is that the digitizer or just the lcd
When it's liquid damaged, that is different. it could be liquid damaged display IC or connector or could be LCD. You won't know until you test it.
@@ifixsmartphone9079 I tried disconnecting the lcd cable and plugging it back in and the battery icon did show up once but then the lines came back so I was told it's the lcd cable
@@joleneguerrero4794 hopefully flex but I don't think so. flex doesn't get damaged like that due water and shows line. Line means usually damaged LCD.
@@ifixsmartphone9079 thanks for the info 😊
What about ASUS zenfone 3 max 2016, is it separated- lcd & digitizer or fused?
Any ASUS phones are now fused.
A small part of my screen is not responding. How can I fix it?
Anyone else check their screen when his phone went off at 1:09 ??
Hey, i have a Samsung J1 Ace j111 and my touch is not working, but my screen is showing up perfectly, so what should i replace? because i went to repair it and the guy told me that i had to buy the whole screen including the LCD, What should i do?? PLEASE i'm desesperate :c
I just want to know what do i have to replace? glass+LCD? or just one and wich one?
That is just like iPhone. Glass/digitizer/LED is fused. you need to get whole thing.
So if the glass is not broken but the digitizer is not working because of water damage does that mean I should just replace only the digitizer and not the glass or just replace everything?
When it's water damaged, it's completely different issue. It could corroded connect that could affect touch. Replacing screen is not gonna fix in that case.
@@ifixsmartphone9079 ok so my phone still ring vibrates charge but nothing coming on the screen itself and it's not a black screen of death cause I tried all troubleshooting method since its water damage what do you recommend need changing in my this case the entire screen and digizer aswel?
don't buy parts yet, you need to find repair shop who can properly diagnose or mail it in to me and I can check as well.
@@ifixsmartphone9079 ok great thanks for the advice I will subscribe to this channel and I'm all the way in Jamaica sadly
In my samsung galaxy s4 the display only shows white screen when turned on but it is working perfectly.....It just shows the white screen though so there's a problem with digitizer or LCD or both of them needs to be replaced??
Whenever you have an issue with picture, that has to do with LCD or LED. In your case, it's LED since Samsung uses AMOLED. thus you must replace whole complete front module. LED cannot be replaced separately.
G Parc Thank you for replying
Thank you so much for the explanation,I was so confused but not anymore
so if no broken glass and i can still touch the phone then i just need to replace the LCD?
Theoretically it's possible but it all depends on how it's made. If LCD/Digitizer/glass is fused, you are not going to be able to save glass.
In my phone lenovo k8 note the glass is broken but touch and display is fine so what should I do
How much it will cost in india
thanks for the lesson sir. I have dropped my my phone few time now but the there are no cracks on the screen. during the last drop the screen from be black boundary of the on screen button to down stopped working. I did some research online and some said that it might be due the digitizer becoming loose. so is it possible in my case to open up my phone and reconnect the digitizer to fix this issue.
if the phone is iPhone 6+, it might that famous touch IC disease you are having.
G Parc its one plus one
then it must be digitizer.
G Parc so in my case is it broken digitizer or loose connection. strangely though the on screen button dose work but when I turn off the on screen button, the on screen region works faintly.
I suggest you find a repair shop where they can replace OnePlus digitizer. It's screen/digitizer/LCD as one unit.
Thank you for your video demo and explanations.

Got crazy lines running all over my screen? What should I change
Most likely cracked LCD.
so if only half display works its the lcd not the digitizer..my unit dropand display is only half..huawei
Can you replace the amoled phone screen into a regular screen? Is it possible?
If you can find a compatible display and correct FPC. most likely it won't be available. OLED and LCD works differently. the other way is possible.
So how do they do the samsung s9 screen and Digitizer
Pretty much same. OLED and digitizer is fused and they put glass on top to protect it.
I crack my phone, when on it produce black and blue color what should I replac? Gionee p5w
anytime when you have a problem on display, you have to suspect LCD or LED.
thanks. Ive been searching for this exact information.
I have a question. If the lcd is broken, the digitizer will still working without lcd ?(i have a monitor mhl)
It will work in most cases.
G Parc tks for your answer
mi max2...my touch screen works perfect...screen looks clear...glass is broken only...what should i replace??
I am pretty sure that comes in one piece. unless you have the tools and skill and right part, i suggest you get a full front assembly.
my phone has a small crack on the screen and now it doesnt do nothing. it turns on and everything but i cant put the password becuase the touch doesnt work a lot. what can it be?.
As described above, it's digitizer. Most likely you have a device that has digitizer fused to the glass.
