Can you replace the digitizer without replacing the actual screen or do you need to but both?

the digitizer is attached to the screen, so i'm not sure if you can just replace the one.

You have to replace the screen with the digitizer because it's made on to the screen

This is just the digitizer (touch screen). If if is the LCD that is broken, this WILL NOT fix that.

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.

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.

no this just the digitizer. As long as you have not cracked the LCD beneath it you should be fine. Mine works great now.

It depends. If the LCD display and touch digitizer work well and you're able to replace just the outer glass, this one will be OK; if your display can't work or the screen respond slow or unresponsive, this one isn't for you. This item does not contain the LCD or 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.

It also has the digitizer, you just take the broken screen with the digitizer out and replace it with the new unit.

You may not want to go this route. Even though replacing just the glass is the cheapest it is also the most time consuming and skill demanding repair. The glass, digitizer and LCD are fused together. Buying the $95-99 part with the tool kit is the best way. use iFixit.com to learn how to do the repair.

It is more difficult. It would be much easier to get the digitizer/LCD screen together. I advise you to get the digitizer/LCD. Its only $40 more. It will be waste of money to get the digitizer only

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.

No telling.. its been a long time.. its an awful replacement procedure unless you've replaced screens before and are familiar and have the proper tools. Even then,,,, ugh.. It may not work... Lot of time and aggravation for possible benefit. I notice digitizers are a lot less expensive now, so price isn't such a big risk anymore. Go for it only if you're adventurous and have too much time on your hands..

This particular screen is only for the outer glass screen. The inner screen is attached to the digitizer. It would be best to get a new assembly.

This part is only the screen nd digitizer. You will need to either remove your broken screen which can b a hassle or, purchase the lcd screen and digitizer that comes with the frame assembly. It is much easier the second way but you will have to take all the old component nd move them to the new frame assembly.

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

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

Not easily. First, you'd have to separate the digitizer from the screen, which is virtually impossible; then you'd have to find someone selling a screen without the digitizer, which is also virtually impossible. There is a reason they come together... I used this kit and couldn't be happier - it's been great. I would recommend getting a high quality replacement home button and doing that at the same time since it's easy while the phone is apart.
