    usable tablet with broken glass/screen?

    Hi guys.
    I wonder if this tablet is usable in near future?
    I wonder how come I don't see yet artifacts of a broken screen (vertical lines)?
    It's a Tab S4.

              Yes, usable. If the impact of the hit that has cracked the glass digitizer was with more force, then the LCD would also have been killed to show the lines you are mentioning or worse. Search for replacement Tab S4 digitizers on Aliexpress or Amazon to repair this unit. You will need a heating table (recommended) to remove the front side glued digitizer. Best to watch a few videos on the repair process on youtube.

                  I wish I could repair it by myself.
                  i bought it from a guy.
                  Aliexpress sucks with Bosnia.
                  99% of shipments are overpriced and shipping cost is way more then what I ordered.
                  If I would go with Samsung retail store they would rip me off so I will use the tablet as it is...probably will get case if I'd find one here.
                  but thx guys for answers,I thought I paid for nothing.

                      Check your local cell / mobile phone repair shops. They will have the tools to perform this repair which is a hot air gun that will be required to remove the glued on digitizer. Have to be careful on the heat so that the LCD is not burnt from the process and will cause permanent discoloration of the nice LCD display. Then they swap out the digitizer which is not a major job and glue it back on. Ask around as it is a common point of failure. Your local malls should have someone who does this type of repair.

                          Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
                          by Ryan.man
                          Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                          My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                          This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                          Problem

                          This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                          by smic717394
                          Hi,

                          I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...
