Is replacement tape necessary to install digitizer? Can I reuse the tape on the old one?

After my first experience replacing a digitizer, replacement tape is definitely on my list if I need to do it again. I made do without it, but to do it right, I would suggest the tape.

No you will need new tape, you can not remove the old digitizer without damage the old tape.

It may be possible to reuse the old tape (in fact I reused the tape holding the digitizer to the tablet without a problem -- though it was much less sticky than before). However, I was not careful enough when removing the LCD frame from the old digitizer and had to replace the tape there.If you are extremely careful and take your time, you may be able to reuse all of the existing tape, though I can't guarantee it from my personal experience.

Yes replacement tape is necessary. While it could be possible to reuse the tape I have yet to see one done where the tape was left perfectly intact. Save yourself the headache and sub-par installation and just buy the tape. Just my opinion, and I have replaced digitizers on many mobile devices including two different tf300t's. Hope this helps.

I reused the old tape. It's ok but not perfect as the original state. It will also depend on the tool and how you take out the old screen. Certain area, I scraped off the old tape more than other. It doesn't bother me but if you want to be perfect then get the tape.

If you can still see an image, your digitizer is fine. If you have streaks, if it won't accept input, or you have no image at all, then you need a new digitizer.

yes this item is a digitizer, its not just the screen its the whole frame so when you replace your old one all you need to do is disconnect the old board and connect it to this and it is very simple. It worked and is still working great!

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.

I tried to replace the digitizer in my Transformer, but I had more issues after than when I started. Before, I just had a cracked Digitizer, after, I had a system that was unstable. I would need to see the pic of the label on the new one to know for sure, but I would urge caution, its tricky sourcing correct parts from these vendors...

Here is a link to a new screen and digitizer for your model.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0085W9OJI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1378424094&sr;=8-1π=AC_SX110_SY165

No, you will need a few plastic pry tools and a hairdryer. The last thing you will need is knowledge of how to install the digitizer properly. YouTube is you friend for this.

They should of sent you an email they did to me. They also reminded me in the package that they sent me a email on a video to how to install it. If anything go on YouTube and search up "iPhone 5 digitizer replacement" and follow those steps. Be very careful though that it is not that easy and remember to remember where all the little pieces go there's about 4 or 5 small plastic pieces. you have to be very patience and have time to do thi. Hope this helps!!

Together, if I understand question. I first bought just the glass cover ($5-10), but cracked the digitizer trying to remove old broken glass with a heat gun. This item $120ish was easy to replace, just watch the u tube video instructions first.

As long as the display is not distorted you will do fine with the digitizer only along with adhesive strip. It's a tedious process but very "do"-able. youtube has plenty of video's of how it's done. HTH good luck!

It already comes with the tape you just peel off the clear protector. The adhesive isn't nearly as strong as the original because after a couple of months I had to get back into it and it came off easier.Some videos say to use a glue in addition to the adhesive but I don't think it's necessary.

So far so good. Did not have a problem with digitizer the only thing you will need is electrical tape to cover some exposed metal. Simple not hard to do look on youtube for instructions .

hello ,if only the digitizer (touch panel). you don't need anything else but if lcd panel is broken as well ,you may need to buy a replacement for it ..Good luck

Yes, or at least the ones I had purchased. Some of the digitizers come with the adhesive already pre-installed (recommended), or sent in the same package with the digitizer. I recommend finding one that is pre-installed. It will state so in the product description. It saves time and you will peace of mind knowing that the 3M Adhesive is in the correct spots.

Not a stupid question at all. I believe that since each piece of equipment is reclaimed, it can contain different components (i.e. camera, microphone etc.). However, none of the lcd/digitizer technology affects the memory of the phone. You will have the same contacts and data, but you are replacing the lcd display and digitizer touchscreen in most cases. It took all of 5 minutes to replace using a small screwdriver, but watch your ribbon cables! Hope this helps!

You might not have the digitizer plugged in. The first time I did this repair I thought I had it plugged in, but I really didn't. See if you can wedge it in with a flathead (minus) screwdriver. It's easier to get those under the logic board

Absolutly, actually, seems or is the original, You only need to find the right glue, clear. (tip: when you'll go to replace, use a medium/big cutter, because you can cut the digitalizer if you use a small/medium blade, the blade needs to pass the width of the phone... (take care with this procedure)...
