What causes the glass screen to crack on a Simbans Tango Tab?

swipe down from the top and check the settings in "audio profiles" See if the speaker is muted.

No it wouldn't work with no screen, the digitizer is built in with the glass

If the crack is on the outside then you have cracked the digitizer and not the LCD screen. Buy it online then install

Its touch screen
Goto technical master
Its safe for your tab

I have a 2005 crossfire as well and it did the exact thing. Finally took it to a Mercedes shop and they found one of the crystals were cracked on my rely, it sits under the hood on the side of the wheel well. It's a black box. The only way they found the cracked crystal was with a magnifier glass. Not cheap by the way, but have had no further problems since that was done..

mos likely it is a cracked screen....even a minor crack not visible will cause it not to work........if the screen is fine then it might be loose ribbon connection or bad microprocessor or the phone is frozen/locked due to nmo more memory.....try to reset the phone.....to manufactures reset condition......if all else fails.....have the screen checked for cracked glass.....these screens have a liquid in between 2 pieces of glass and a grid template which act as a capacitor so that it responds to you touching certain co-ordinates on the screen....any cracks at all will render it useless and must be replaced, their is no way to fix the screen if it is cracked....good luck

don't buy the Ace 2 GT-8160 glass , I tried one from ebay, (from cui1873 )took over a month delivery and is not even similar. different size glass, connection is on the other side, will not work. looking for correct glass also

Dear Confused,

Sorry to hear about your phone screen.

There is only one way to make your screen look better, but it will not "fix" the crack. I have done this and sometimes i cannot even tell my screen is still cracked and i didnt have to pay Apple $350 for a new piece of glass.

Here is what you can try:

1. Go to a auto parts store and buy a "Winshield repair kit" for small rock chips that look like a bullseye style chip.

2. CAREFULLY CLEAN THE GLASS WITH ALCOHOL and let dry for 10 minutes. Then heat up the glass of your phone with a hair drier for about 2 minutes so its hot, but not too hot to handle.

3. Then very, very slowly and cautiously, cut the tip of the nipple on the "epoxy/resin" bottle they have in the repair pack and while the phone glass is still hot (you may want to cut the tip of the bottle first, then heat up your phone), gentle squeeze the clear resin into and along the crack in your phones glass....Squeeze the resin directly along the entire length of the crack while attempting to squeeze it INTO THE CRACK...its diffucult, however, the heated glass will **** in the cool resin and actually fill in the crack.

Make sure not to get the resin on the phone or your skin!!!

AND BE PATIENT WHEN applying it.

ALSO, try to do this on a sunny day, because you have to place the glass in direct sunlight, or under a UV light to allow the epoxy/resin to cure. IT WILL NOT WORK UNDER A NORMAL LIGHT BULB. SUNLIGHT Actually works best.

Leave it in the sunlight for at least 1 hour or longer. Then wait another 24hrs before taking a razor blade to scrap off the excess resin that has built up on the glass.

FYI, it the crack to too deep the epoxy will seep thru the glass and this process wont work.

However, if your lucky this should be what your looking for!

Good luck and let me know how it goes!

THanks,

Mark

Screen may have a hair line crack in it causing projection to be distorted. Inspect screen very closly with magnifying glass if necessary to insure no cracks. If crack is found replace screen.

If you're handy with small tools, you can make a new screen using Lexan, a Dremel tool to shape it, and then glue it into place. You'll have to dismantle the unit first to get the broken screen out.

Either that, or send it in to Garmin for replacement.
