I havent opened mine yet to start rebuilding it.

where should it say Nokia??

I'm very much interested in the quality of the amoled lcd screen as well as I have cracked mine. The prices on that site look quite interesting and shipping to my country is fast.
Please keep us updated ... Thank you in advance for your precius feedback!!!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3008924433...84.m1423.l2649

hey! just be careful when using the screwdriver (t4 if you can't find the torx+ that you will need)

before that you turn the screwdriver, make sure that you have secured the scrwedriver to the screw and without turning back the screwdriver or loosening, do the work need... hope i can explain myself, my english sucks hahaha

I agree! a bit of a concern that some do not have the Nokia logo?

Unless their made in the same factory and the logo was removed?

Any ideas why one screen would be completely black on the back and another with metal teeth things?

I believe that the ones that look completely black on the back are without frame. I've read that in that case the frame has to be removed from the old screen and installed on the new one.
As I haven't done it myself yet I don't know if that's an easy and safe process or not.
Maybe it would be easier to buy an lcd assembly that includes the frame and just swap the part.
I'm looking for suggestions as well before buying the part and replace my broken lcd (just the glass). Thank you in advance

This is correct. If you buy a screen without the assembly, it will have to be removed from your old screen with a heat gun. I would spend the extra money to find one WITH the screen assembly.
And FYI, if the screen does NOT have the Nokia logo, it is definitely not legit. However, just because it has the logo doesn't make it legit either...

you can't replace only the glass. the screen is always the combination of the oled digitalizer and the gorilla glass...

if you rtry to separate the glass and the oled screen you will have a nice useless black screen.
