    Tip: Don't take the 5 cables off the back of the unit... just unscrew the 4 screws on the top and leave the rest of the unit attached in the car. Way easier and quicker! Brilliant video and thank you again for the assist!

    Thanks for the video. For anyone considering doing this, if you are the least bit handy this is very do-able. Just a steady hand to pull off the dash vents. You don't really need to unplug and remove the whole assembly. Just take the four screws off of the main module and remove the display and dash mount. One important tip - don't just pull on the ribbon cable connecting the touchscreen to the PC board. There is a small white-ish latch at the point where the cable goes into the connector that you gently pull away from the connector. This releases the cable, and it easily slides out in one piece (unlike in the video). Connecting the new cable is just doing the reverse. The video is correct about the hardest part being how to remove the touchscreen from the bezel. The adhesive is very aggressive. Just try to get a thin plastic spatula or other flat tool under the touchscreen and slowly work it off. Too much force and you might break the plastic bezel. The glass will definitely crack as you go, so at that point there's no going back. I used Goof-Off to dissolve most of the remaining adhesive, then a little elbow grease with a soft piece of fabric will get the remainder. Once that is done, the rest is a piece of cake. Good luck!

    Hey, I wanted to thank you. I think that so far this is the only relevant video I have found regarding this problem. My screen was also broken for some reason on 3 different spots and the touch screen wasn't working. Yesterday I replaced my screen the same way you did here, and for only 20$ and 3 hours of fun it turned out like new ! I am leaving here some more tips that I found helpful: * Use Isopropyl Alcohol and a razor blade when you're removing the old glass glue. * Let the Isopropyl Alcohol get into the cracks you're making with the blade and let it soak. * You can use a heat gun to melt the glue but this will cause the Isopropyl Alcohol to vapor so you'll need more of that. * Work while your hands and screen are inside a plastic bag that could catch all the tiny glass shards. * Don't panic when you notice another glass on the inner side of the screen and you think you've messed the touch screen - a new one comes with the new touch screen you're replacing this is the part that has the connector to the circuit board * When you disconnect the steel case of the circuit board try to work around from right to left, there are 2 "stoppers / holders" on both sides and you want to be careful. I used some leverage with a screwdriver and it worked for me. Thanks again, Your video was SUPER helpful !

    Very good tips. Another one is: the connector is secured by a thin white tab latch. You must push it out and up to pull and insert the ribbon connector without damaging it (ref video here @ time 0:33 kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXV8lah8mpfQmNY.html ). I only used a heat gun and a knife to separate the glass from the bezel with no loose shards but I agree working over a plastic bag is recommended just in case.

    So I've been doing cell phone repair for over 17 years. I have a 2014 Mazda3. I've done this repair. To separate the old touch screen from the frame. Turn your oven to the lowest setting. Usually around 180°F. When the oven is up to temperature. Put the screen in for 5 min. It will separate very easy. Also, you'll want to remove as much of the old adhesive as possible to ensure the new touch screen adheres properly.

    Thanks for the video. It really helped prep me for the screen replacement. Just to add to/reinforce the tips for anyone else ready to embark upon this journey. - Leave the connectors attached to the back of the CMU - Just take the four screws off the top to remove the screen from the CMU and the two connectors to the screen - Be sure to disconnect the digitizer ribbon cable correctly (pull the white bit out and then up) - Heat gun and a razor blade works wonders for removing the screen adhesive

    I wish your video was around when I had this problem a year and a half ago! I had the same thing happen. It was extremely hot outside and I forget to close the cover for the sunroof. When I got back in my car I noticed a mark on the digitizer. I searched the Mazda 3 forums for info on how to get it fixed but they just recommended taking it to the dealer or buying an entire display unit from eBay. I knew there had to be better way so found a replacement digitizer for less than $20 and swapped it out. The new digitizer is clearer than the OEM one ever was. Too keep this from happening again I keep an old hat on my dash and use it to cover the screen the car is going to be parked outside for more than a couple minutes.

  • @geodesocio561
    @geodesocio5612 жыл бұрын

    I like that you were prepared, but didn't rehearse :-) You did a good job! Some thoughts: You tore the ribbon cable because you didn't release the clip/clamp part of the circuit board connector. You should have removed the metal bracket before removing the ribbon cable. You were lucky. If you damage the clip/clamp on the circuit board, you're toast. The clip/clamp is hinged and lifts up to disconnect, and pushes down to clamp the ribbon cable connections together. Lift carefully from center of clip with fingernail or spudger tool to retract the ribbon, and press down after you've pushed the ribbon cable home. Do that before you put the metal cover over the circuit board, it's easier that way. You can use a heat gun to make the adhesive soft by warming it up a bit (don't warp the frame)... removes easier. Also use denatured alcohol instead of rubbing alcohol, if you have it. You should wear exam gloves while working on the touch panel and display screen. Easy on the Mazda, can be a real long process on some Toyotas. My daughter's dealer said $2000 to fix. Criminals. It's a defect and should be recalled. Thanks for the video!!

    Dude, thank you! There was a service bulletin from Mazda to replace the delaminating screen, but of course I bought the car right after that offer had expired. So either a $900 OEM display from Mazda, or a $23 eBay gamble. This worked perfectly. What's funny is that I didn't know it was actually a touch screen since that function hasn't ever worked. Once I got the screen separated on one corner, I was able to run a razor gently along the seam from the OUTSIDE and cut the adhesive. Razor then used to get the old adhesive and foam off, followed by isopropyl and a rag. Once I cracked the screen, I realized there was no going back, but it worked perfectly. Thanks again.

    great video, I would add that you can soak the plastic frame in hot water, then take a razor blade (or sharp pocket knife) to the adhesive. the adhesive seems to come off all in one strip more often when it's warm and soaked. I lost a 10mm bolt down my air vent though, full cost to repair at home was around 25 for a new screen on amazon and a new ratchet set which was around 40 dollars. took about three hours with the trip to home depot.

For anyone else attempting, when you remove the ribbon, get you fingernail in behind the little white clip to pop it backwards and then the ribbon will slide right out. That's what holds it in place. 😊

It was the adhesive between the outer glass and the touch panel that is not sticking well and it looks like the screen is cracked, so you don't have to buy a new screen. you can take the outer glass and touch panel apart using hot airgun, then remove the adhesive with some alcohol and then put them together again with UV glue.

    I woke up for work an noticed that spider web looking damage, in the corner of my screen. I'm a bit upset considering cars should be suited for any environment. It did dip below 30°s that night so I assumed it was because of the temperature. Because that's the only factor that I could come up with. How do I prevent it happening again or getting worse?

    You can't, it's a common delamination fault down to the manufacturer, they, however, will come out with any old bullshit to avoid taking responsibility and will instead try to persuade you to part with hundreds of dollars/pounds etc to replace the entire unit! 😮 Easy and cheap fix to DIY thankfully.....

    Wish I could help with this. But if you did plug everything back in it’s hard to diagnose with looking at the car. First start simple and check fuses make sure you didn’t short anything then take back apart to make sure everything is actually plugged in all the way. Then check the ribbon plug make sure it’s not upside down or ripped

If you took it to Mazda was they able find that the screen was as receiving power and signal? If so yes you will probably need a new one. If not may be a computer issue.
