ASUS fonepad 7 ME371MG disassembly for screen repair

I made this video only for demonstration how to take apart the asus fonepad 7 me371mg because i haven't found any video on the web that helps me to disassembly my damaged one.
I'm not responsable for any damage at your device, pay attention in what you are doing.

Steps:
-Remove the little sim cover
-Gently remove the back cover with some flat screwdrivers
-Open the 3 connectors (lcd, touch 1, touch 2)
-Heat up the glass until it is coming up with a little force, help you with some cutter blades
-Remove the connectors from the holes and take off the screen
-Remember to pick up the earpiece and put it back on
-Carefully cut the little adhesive foam glued all around the lcd
-Remove the remaning glue from the lcd (you will need a new one)
-Remove the glue from the plastic frame if is there (you wil need a new one)

Then to reassemble:
-Put the lcd back in its housing and connect its connector to the back
-Apply the glue on it
-Apply the glue on the new glass and place it in its frame being careful with its flat connectors to pass correctly into hole
-Close back all and here we go

Thanks for this.  I have never changed a digitiser on any device before, and using this guide was very easy (took 45mins- not rushing).  I used a hairdryer to get the glue up and a credit card (instead of metal objects) to pull the broken glass up.  Whole thing only cost $25 from ebay.  My only advice, is really check the cleanliness of the interal screen and LCD (or use white cloth gloves) to stop fingerprints & take your time, don't rush.

Thanks for the guide! I was able to replace the screen following your steps. I was a bit weary using the heat lamp but I got the screen off in the end! Thanks again!

hello,
I have just fixed mine with this video. Thank you very much.
I wish to add a big WARNING: when untape the broken touch screen from the bezel (base) be very carefull to the microphone! Don't insert anything further than 3 mm at this place otherwhile, you might damage it. To make it clear, the glue is 5mm wide on left and right side of the screen, around 15 mm on top and bottom of the screen, excepted facing the microphone (only 1 or 2 mm of glue, so don't insert anything there, the glue will come off easily at the end) . Instead of Blador, i recommand a sharp guitar mediator: very convenient as you can roll it to move forward and it is plastic so it will not damage your Bezel. the mediator plus plastic card to hold the untaped side were perfect for me. The other place you can damage easily while doing that is the conector of the touch screen but  you are trying to fit a new one so it is no big deal if it is brocken .. The only time i have used a blador was to untape the microphone: remember that every thing is plastic here so if you use a metal tool to remove cover or screen, you will damage the bezel.

Hi,
The lcd is working so I think only the plastic frame is broken. Can I change only the frame? Where I can buy it and how much it will cost?

[amirkhan]

How much does this screen cost?
 I have broken my fonepad7 screen as well. Is the screen replacement very costly?

[MlsheR]

Well, i came here from googling "Touch screen not responding Fonepad 7" 
Ugh... my phone bad starts normally the screen is not broken not even scratched, and no i didn't drop it in water or something like that. but the touch screen doesn't just want to respond. i can't open the lock.
Any suggestions on what should i do? (i tried to restart tablet and used the reset button near micro sim slot)
