Nice vid. I am in the situation that my screen does not light up at all. When i turn on the phone it vibrates and boot up fine, and i can hear the messages ticking in - but no light in screen at all. What to do? Is the screen not receiving power, or just not working? The screen does not have a dent at all, and i have never dropped it on the floor?
Casper Andreasen it might be worth trying a new display but there's a chance it still might not work if its a problem with the mainboard. You won't know until you try...
Thanks a lot for doing this video. l had a cracked touch screen. So after watching this video, l went and bought a new one with the tools for the job for less than £10. Saved me a lot of stress and money too doing it myself with your help. Thanks again and a thumbs up from me.
Many, Many thanks, honestly I cannot thank you enough. One HAPPY daughter now after she managed to drop the phone and break the digitizer. Without your video to help I would have never known how to complete this! One replaced digitizer 100% working. Again many, many thanks!
Excellent video and instructions! My wife cracked her screen a few months back, I bought a cheap replacement phone to keep her going until the contract was due for renewal but then thought I'd have a go at repairing it after seeing this video. Picked up a new screen for £8 from Amazon and had it fitted and working perfectly in 20 mins thanks to this video.
I used this video as a guide to transfer a motherboard from a cracked Lumia 520 to a new Lumia 520. Now the new one doesn't need to be unlocked or setup because everything was stored on the motherboard. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant video! I smashed my screen and had to replace it and the digitizer. Followed your video, with judicious use of the 'pause' button, and did it without a hitch! Many, many thanks
fantastic video repaired my daughters phone with this video thanks his voice is so calming and easy to follow he does it in real time so you can keep up
Excellent video. Very complete step by step instructions with additional component information along the way. Also the close-up quality and clarity of the video is excellent. I just finished successfully replacing my glass screen for $5.50 (part value on "ebay" - glass and frame). Thanks very much for this excellent video tutorial.
What a video absolutely FANTASTIC. Before watching I would NEVER have even attempted to do this . However I have and its all Thanks to you. EXCELLENT !
Thank you so much for this video, I had myself in a state wondering how to fix the screen to my newly bought phone. Your video was brilliant, well narrated and displayed!
Thanks a million dude! I managed to repair it althoug i snapped the right part of the frame while removing the old digitizer, but it works! Thank you so much!
Good video I was going to chuck the phone away after one of my employees so say dropped it but after seeing your vid I purchased a new digitizer and frame watched the vid again and now we have a new phone so thank you for saving me a lot of money.
Awesome instructon! Thank you so much! With this instruction I was able to replace the digitizer within 15 minutes, even though I never did something like that before Thanks again!!
Thanks for the tutorial on how to disassemble and reassemble the Galaxy note 3. Your lesson shows that you really know your job.From this video I am confident I will be able to replace my damage display screen which got damaged when I attempted to replace the glass though I was very careful. Thanks
Thank you so much - so easy to follow and I am a female and not very techno savvy. I was quoted $180 dollars to fix and I spent $10 on a new glass front and your video. Wooo hooo very happy
Brilliant instructions, this was quiet simple the tricky bit was the tape to remove the digitizer please make sure you heat as instructed it makes it easier. I did crack my frame in one place but it did not effect the phone and afterwards the phone was workng lovely. So thank you together with your instructions and a new digitizer screen from ebay including tools for a fiver saved me over 70 quid!!! can i give you one bit of constructive feed back though, the bit about testing the new screen for compatability first should be at the begining of the vid not at the end. Thanks very much x
Thank you so much, not knowing much about mobile phones I found your instructions easy to follow and repaired my son's screen. nice and easy, thank you.
Great video, thanks. Detailed and clear with lots of tips that enabled an amateur to replace a broken screen. Much better than the other similar videos I viewed for the Lumia 520. Thanks again
Just fixed the wifes phone which was dropped down the toilet by our 3 year old lad. Took som water damage but works perfect. Thanks mate. Also gonna use your normal sized s4 guide to fix my cracked screen. Again many thanks.
very informative video thankyou, i have a friend with a damaged lumia 525 screen, of which i cannot find any information at all. I have noticed the replacement screen for this also fits the 525, is the procedure the same, thanks
Nice, clear video, thanks. Are there any steps that can be skipped if it's only the digitizer that needs replacing? I'm guessing the phone still needs to be dismantled . . .
Great video!! I had thought to do it myself but after seeing this, im getting it done at a shop..... bcause it is too difficult for my hands to handle the phone so sensitively..... But Great Video!! Gave me alot of information about my phone!! Thanks!
hi loved your video i done everything ud mention to do with replacing the nokia lumia screen i brought a new one of ebay but the nokia lumia wont stay on and when i swipe my finger across the screen it stop half and that was it so its unusable is there anything else i could try to get it working please need your help thanku x
I can see the start screen but it wont let me slide it up at all. Screen totally unresponsive. Should I buy a new screen for replacement or a new digitizer. Thanks for help
This happened from me dropping it from about waist length. The phone has a small crack in it but its nothing too big. I have already tried hard reset and soft reset.
I have to say, yours is the best you tube "fix" i have seen and felt compelled to comment. so clear and concise and no unnecessary music. I thought i couldn't do a screen repair but with your help i now know i can. thanks. one question, re; the cheaper copy digitizers, are they all as good/bad as one another or do you have a "recommended" supplier/ebayer?
Can you also let me know how you overcome the vibrator getting trapped. If I over tighten the screws there's just a click under tighten and there's an annoying resonance? Is it just trial and error? I bought an "A" graded Nokia original with plastic surround. Worked a treat. Thanks.
my screen as got a crack in it and the touch isn't working, I bought a new screen casing and just waiting for it now. does it mean the new screen casing will fix the touch pad. or is it the screen itself what's damaged? just don't want to waste my money knowing it won't sort out the phone. but loved the video thank you for the help in advance
Great videos, I consult is very difficult to change the digitizer to a lumia 1520 I am very skilled but not to the track that brings connects . There are some Nokia in your videos that equals the place?
Thanks for the guide - easy to follow, and had my phone disassembled in no time. Do you have any information on how to replace/repair microswitches on these phones? I've got the same problem that a lot of people have been having, a broken 'lock screen' switch. It will work if I short it, so there's no onboard logic problem, just a faulty switch...
Very good vid, i have successfully replaced the screen but when the phone started up all the touch screen functions on the phone were not responding. What do i do? Thanks.
Thank you for the video, I followed the instructions but my touch screen only works after a shut down, and as soon as the screen dims after 30 seconds inactivity it doesn't work anymore. Any ideas?
hi, my phone screen is cracked and the touch doesn't respond at all... the device turns on, and I can see my sim pin request so I assume the display is still functional...correct? So I would just need the digitizer i presume. The frame is pretty shot too, the glass from the screen buckled it so I would buy a combo of frame and screen. This video is highly detailed and informative. Thanks so much. Just gota wait for delivery and to hunt down one of those T4 thingies. So after new installation, and considering the screen is not faulty, should my phone be 100% functional again?
Is this way to do the 530 Nokia too? because I'm going to replace the digitizer because there isn't any 530 versions online to buy only 520? and just wonna make sure before i buy it that it is the right one.
Is it possible to install an internal wireless charging receiver to this Lumia 520 phone? If it's possible, how can it be installed? Please, help me with this. I need to do this on my wife's phone.
Replaced the touch screen and touch wouldn't work, plus phone refused to charge when turned on. Screen showed a red flashing battery sign. Performed a hard reset and all problems were solved. Also, removing the original touch screen while cold wasn't too hard by cracking the (already cracked) screen further. Thanks for the great video!!
What's the most hassle free method to fix just a broken digitizer? I really cant be bothered dealing with glue or tape or whatever to put it back together, if i buy the digitizer+LCD with frame will I be able to just take the phone apart and slot the full screen, digitizer and frame component right in? or do these come as individual components?
thanks for the video my mates aunt gave me her old phone because the touch part cracked its still in very good condition and they are really cheap on ebay like 5nzd so thanks for the video man
Excellent, detailed video. The phone I have is a Nokia 521 for T-Mobile, badly cracked touchscreen, but still functional. I understand there are minor differences between the 520 and 521. Just want to be sure I don't encounter any surprises once I get it apart. Any info on this? No videos on YT about doing this on the 521.
I did the replacement with minimum difficulty thanks to your video. MetroPCS and T-Mobile sell the 521 in the US. The only difference I found was the 521 had four threaded screws instead of the three you show for the 520.
Thanks for the video I have just fixed my Lumia 520 first time. Just one teensy problem there's a heart shaped logo that is stamped on the glass. Does anyone know how to clean this off, water or solvent?
Hi! Thank you for this video. Does this work with the lcd display screen of nokia 520 rm-1032? the tech guys I found said that they would need to change the touchscreen, the glass and the display, not only the display. It's the price of a new cellphone. Thank you!
A nice easy phone to repair.
Watch out when replacing the digitizer as the frame is easy to break
can i find the back that contains the 2G , 3G antenna?
Nice vid.

Casper Andreasen it might be worth trying a new display but there's a chance it still might not work if its a problem with the mainboard. You won't know until you try...
hello, any chance to recover internal storage from comeplete broken lumia 520(it doesn't turn on)? i have some important documents on it
Casper Andreasen Olá Casper se não houve nenhuma queda pode ser um problema de software,mas requer uma análise mais profunda.
Thanks a lot for doing this video. l had a cracked touch screen. So after watching this video, l went and bought a new one with the tools for the job for less than £10. Saved me a lot of stress and money too doing it myself with your help. Thanks again and a thumbs up from me.

Are there any steps that can be skipped if it's only the digitizer that needs replacing?
I'm guessing the phone still needs to be dismantled . . .
This is an excellent well,paced video that ticks all the right boxes. Top jon
The best tutorial i saw. great job buddy! Thanks! My phone is leaving again!
thank you sir great teaching skills and patience...much appreciated
Fantastic! You have saved me a lot of cash. Instructions made it so easy. Many Thanks
Sorry if someone answered this before, but does the digitizer also control the 3 "buttons" at the bottom of the screen?
great Video is good to see someone who knows what they are doing instead of some idiots who presume they know
Great video!!
I had thought to do it myself but after seeing this, im getting it done at a shop.....

ive spotted your link to repairsuniverse but it's american. do you not have a uk supplier?
Steve Holland there's plenty on eBay, just have a careful check of the feedback to see if anyone has had problems..
Can you also let me know how you overcome the vibrator getting trapped. If I over tighten the screws there's just a click under tighten and there's an annoying resonance? Is it just trial and error? I bought an "A" graded Nokia original with plastic surround. Worked a treat. Thanks.
Steve Holland trial and error is probably the best idea..
Le55ons were are you at your videos are the best on TH-cam

Fantastic explanation! I did the same operation step by step following your video! Thanks!
What's the most hassle free method to fix just a broken digitizer?

Is it a good idea to fix a 520 if you're not a professional but you have all the tools
Hi! Thank you for this video. Does this work with the lcd display screen of nokia 520 rm-1032? the tech guys I found said that they would need to change the touchscreen, the glass and the display, not only the display. It's the price of a new cellphone. Thank you!
Great video, very helpful! My Nokia 520 is now as good as new, thanks to you :-)
Superb & easy to follow, well done
