Motorola Atrix 4G: What adhesive / glue is best for screen replacement?

Tue, 10 Sep 2024 04:18:47 -0700

I recently shattered the screen of my Motorola Atrix 4G. I purchased replacement screens (yes, multiple) from Global Direct Parts.

It works fine, except I must have pulled most of the adhesive off when pulling out the old screen. The new screen barely sticks down.

I realize standard glue is not appropriate here. What adhesive should be used to stick the new screen down, and where can it be purchased ?

Motorola Atrix 4G: Nail Polish Remover (acetone) spill on screen & phone

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 06:47:46 -0700

An unfortunate accidental spill of this solvent really did a number on the phone and especially the display/touch screen. Acetone seemed to have dissolved the plastic in some areas but not totally fused the phone to render it completely inoperable. I believe the display can be replaced that will correct the main problem. My question is how protected is the LCD? The spill happened very fast and the tissue was applied immediately after the unfortunate event. But the display has definitely been affected.

In your opinion, Are LCD modules durable? Is there a way to inspect their integrity?

I'm about ready to perform a screen replacement that I'm sure will correct the damage and allow me to use the phone again, but I would like others advice, suggestions or recommendations. I think this phone is not yet ready for the trash dump. Thanks.

Motorola Atrix 4G: Broken screen on my phone

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:49:17 -0700

Questions....I just dropped and cracked the glass on my Atrix. Totally bummed because I've only had it a couple of months! It broke the upper left corner and I have spider cracks on the screen. I was researching replacement screens on line but I don't believe I need a new LCD screen, just the glass over it. Is this true? How hard is it to replace the glass? Any recommendations?

Thanks!!

Motorola Atrix 4G: Can I repair a Motorola Atrix 4G that was dropped in water?

Sun, 06 Nov 2016 08:16:16 -0700

My daughter dropped her Atrix (first release) in the sink full of water. She pulled it out and let it dry. Then she did something dumb she plugged the charger into it!? I do a lot of repairs on various electronics Voicemail systems,PBX systems and key telephone sets. I am somewhat savy wih electronics. I do solder but not on the micro level. Is there any hope for this phone?

thanks
