fixed1t website news 12th July 2015

Hi,

I discovered a series of broken links on my fixed1t Nexus 7 webpages, I think these happened with my redesign of the fixed1t site and blogs to make them Google mobile friendly.

As you know amongst the many things I do, I rebuild and fix Asus Google 1st Generation Nexus 7's and have a loyal following on my fixed1t eBay with 100% customer positive feedback.

Here is a Picture of an opened up Nexus 7 First Generation 2012

So I've been through all of the following pages on my fixed1t.co.uk website:

fixed1t Nexus 7 Refurbishments

Nexus 7 Screen Loca Glue Removal

Nexus 7 Lithium Battery Replacement

I've also added links to purchase spare and re-cycled parts here:

Check out fixed1t eBay for the latest deals of Nexus 7 Parts

and also in case I don't have the parts for your Nexus 7, here, as in the classic film:

where Kris Kringle (Santa Klaus) tells Macy's customers to go to competitors stores, if they don't stock the item the child wants from Santa ( I love this film).

I added a link to:

I hope my bloggers, YouTube and Google+ Subscribers find these useful.

Thanks for the continued support.

How To Separate A Nexus 7 2012 Working LCD From A Cracked Digitiser screen - complete instructions

After a number of recent questions from Subscribers to my fixed1t Nexus 7 Youtube Playlist asking how I separate a Working LCD on a Nexus 7 2012 from its  smashed glued on Touchscreen, I decided to spill the beans.  If you have a Nexus 7 with a cracked screen and want to buy a replacement Digitiser and use your existing working LCD, rather than pay £39+ shipping or $60+ for the LCD Digitiser unit, then here is how I do it every few days.

The answer is in two parts and consists of 2 x videos, to make things simple the videos have links embedded in them to link to their opposite number.  

Video 1: How To Separate A Nexus 7 Working LCD From Broken Digitiser Part 1 

Explains what equipment I use and the set up I use to undertake the separation.

Video 2: How To Separate A Nexus 7 Working LCD From Broken Digitiser Part 2 

Shows exactly how I separate the LCD from the Digitiser, and test it.

Also once the LCD has been successfully separated from the Digitiser, then the funs begins or trying to remove the awful Nexus 7 LOCA glue from the LCD without destroying it.  Normal LOCA Glue Remover as advertised on eBay etc, won't shift it, neither will Isopropyl ALCOHOL, not Acetone.  The only real way to shift it is be using the fixed1t Nexus 7 LOCA glue removing putty, which comes free when the split the Nexus 7 LCD from the Digitiser.

Video 3: Removing UV Glue LOCA from Working LCD Display of a Nexus 7 In 5 Minutes 

Video 4: Removing LOCA Glue From A Nexus 7 - How I Make The LOCA Removing Putty

If planning to undertake this task then I recommend watching all 4 x videos through completely at least once, this is a 'One Chance' task and if a mistake is made then the LCD Display could get broken requiring the more expensive Touchscreen+LCD unit to be purchased.

If you find the videos useful or helpful please like, thumbs up and share them with others.

New Nexus 7 Repair And Fixes Blog by fixed1t

Hi,

I've been publishing working Nexus 7 breakdown, dismantling, installation and repair Youtube videos for some years, but realised that having them scattered in different Blogs with

fixed1t

at the start of the title reduced Blog traffic and views. Therefore, I've created the Blog:

Nexus 7 Repair And Fixes

This Blog will contain information and assessments of Nexus 7 issues along with my own fixed1t repair videos and links to other videos and articles that Nexus 7 1st Generation owners or prospective purchasers may find of use.

If you have previous Bookmarks to fixed1t Nexus 7 Blog postings then please delete them as they will no longer work and update your bookmarks to the blog link in this page above.

I am also taking the opportunity to embed links in some of my youtube videos, as a purple banner note in the top right hand corner, to take you to a playlists of my other associated Toy Repair fixed1t, videos so you won't have to search around for the next videos.  There is also a blue banner that will take you to the fixed1t website with links to fixed1t eBay if you are interested in purchasing tried and tested refurbished parts from a seller with 100% positive feedback from Nexus 7 buyers.

If you have a few moments it would be great if you could try it out by selecting the video below and let me know if this works, by leaving a note on this post, thanks.

If you have a Nexus 7 problem then feel free to post here and I will endeavour to take a look and respond.

 Thanks for your continued support.
