Nexus 7 2013 broken glass / LCD "couple of questions"

[leeland]

Hello,

Last night I was greeted by my son crying with his tablet which slipped out of his hand while coming down the steps and it must have landed on the right spot as it spider cracked the entire screen.

It turns on fine, the screen is cracked and the touch / swipe is totally hosed.


I am asking if someone can put it into plain English on what the components are needed to replace the (glass / LCD / "digitizer")

I spent some time last night reviewing and some sites we describing it as the glass, digitizer, lcd and the lengthy process of pulling pieces apart.

I think I need this piece...

In addition to the tool(s) and 2 sided tape?

Any info is appreciated on the best place to get the replacement parts and tools.


Thanks,

Lee

cheaper to just buy a replacement i think If it's a wifi model it's like 70-80 bucks on ebay.
And not worth the fuck up or aggravation of trying to replace the glass

I had considered that as well...I will keep an eye out for a replacement.

Thanks for the recommendation
