Asus MemoPad ME172V Take Apart and Reassembly (Nothing Left)

[@Darrinhenshaw]

Just wanted to drop you a comment and say thanks. This video helped me replace the digitizer on my tablet. I did have to take it apart like you did but it now works flawlessly. Awesome job.

[@krzykidkrisb]

Thanks! I dropped my memo pad 8 today at work...resulting in a black screen (even with a solid case). I had to open it up to reconnect the video cable, now its working like normal.

[@PatrickRigney]

Thanks for making this video. I just did a glass replacement for a friend, and this really helped.

[@picramide]

Thanks for the video! Now I can replace Li-ion cell.

[@regazzz]

GREAT!!! You are welcome!

[@caesarbenitez]

Thanks for sharing. Got mine fixed after a broken digitizer.

[@kelvinilla]

Thanks for doing this. I had pushed the SD card too far in incorrectly, and it got stuck.

[@regazzz]

Hey ***** I am glad this video helped. This is one of my first videos with tablets. Happy New Year!

[@Gabriel-mv4ev]

help me lol

[@icebergmike27]

Thank god. Someone that knows how to make a DIY video for devices. I have an ASUS tablet but it's a different model. This the first step in the video is the only one that applies to my tablet. I watched the whole video though because every minute is worth watching. No time is wasteed explaining how he's going to explain what he's going to eventually do and no overbearing music or bratty kids screaming in the back ground. Thank you sir. Make more of these and get yor self sponsored.

[@mindcruise]

Spot on.

[@middleclassic]

I couldn't agree more. I do have a ME172V and was much relieved to hear silence ... except for him taking the thing apart. Yes, I know there are lots of friendly types out there who feel the need to say a little something first, or last, or throughout the whole damn video ... eesh! I learned what I needed to know by just watching what was done and my tablet is now fixed. Thank you regazzz ! I know nothing about you, but your video was a breath of fresh air. Two thumbs way up from me!

[@reremahdi7]

simple and easy,Thankyou so much

[@AldonH1]

So to replace the glass screen only, is this complete disassembly necessary? Or is there a quicker way to do that on this particular tablet?

[@soof25epa]

Hi. My ASUs just seems to be stuck on the main screen when you pus the power button on. Just seems to be on buffering mode.

[@reyskidude]

thanks for posting this... finally, i am also able to get my micro SD card that went in wrongly and got pushed under the actual slot...

[@jamesgaither6875]

When replacing the motherboard, do you have to reinstall the android software on the onboard flash memory?

[@Darkbloomify]

Thanks for the video, helped me a lot. I would like to know the tools used. What did you use and special tools to remove the glass screen. Looks like a dryer, temperature is used to?. No damage to the glass itself? Thanks in advance.

[@regazzz]

If you will use a heat gun a little bit, there should be no damage. But in case of this memo pad there is actually no big need in heat gun. Screen should come out without any problem and heating.

[@Darkbloomify]

Thanks!

[@kflemonice]

I tried to get my stuck SD card out and I accidentally broke my tablet When it boots it shows the ASUS logo and then everything is blurring out and there is stripes on it ( pink , blue, white stripes and sometimes it white-out ) I think I damaged that orange thing you're touching on 3:43 ( it's not cut out or something, just some scratch on it ) is that what causes my screen go blank or stripes ? Please help me fix this

[@regazzz]

that's I am not really sure what causing it. Sorry.

[@cyltheaagura5203]

Hi! My sisters tablet wont open, even if we charged it. What could be the possible problem for her tablet?? It was very low battery then, and it takes hours us to charged due black out and when we charged it wont open , please answer me.

[@suzgal]

hey I have the memo pad 10.1 and it keeps flickering nonstop...what can I do to fix this problem?

[@stevenw9312]

How difficult was it to get the lcd off the glass? And was the lcd still fully functional after taking it off the glass? My glass is broke but the lcd is fine.

[@ROGC861019]

Hello, my nephews broke his Digitizer ( Asus memo hd 7 "ME173X"), is it really necessary remove the battery, motherboard, speakers ?? the digitizer's cable its right there when you remove the back cover... what do you think?, Thanks for the tutorial

[@PantherSteven]

Thank you so much for this video, when you took off the LCD from the screen I see you used a heat gun of sort but can a blow dryer perform the same ?

[@regazzz]

Hello, thanks for watching. Actually there is no need to use a hairdryer or heat gun. LCD panel, if you will be careful will came out without it. Little heat is not bad anyway. But not a lot.

[@FireQueen19]

I'm hoping that this helps me repair the LCD thank you!

[@melroyel2235]

My daughters screen is cracked and I want to replace it. where do you get the tools needed to do the job as you use here? Mainly the tool to crack open the case. Also do you have a recommendation as to where I can get the parts?

[@paultidswell6290]

hi my Asus memo pad ko13 is stuck on 24% charge and it keeps restarting itself now and again and it's very unresponsive I've disconnected the battery and put it back in but its still the same do you have any suggestions

[@adrianneguineveve]

This just happened to me tonight and all my important files arein that memory card ugh. But could you please tell me what tools you used when you did this? Please? Thank you in advanced! :)

[@katt6253]

I broke my screen and was wondering before I buy a replacement One to do myself. If I had to take all of that apart to get to screen or could I go straight for the lighty-uppy piece before the clear screen just to replace that. And how much would I cost for another person to do it. (Electronics don't make me nervous but doing something wrong does)

[@regazzz]

Hey kat tannim, it will be much easier to get a touchscreen with frame or even a used memopad with good digitizer and replace part you need, rather than removing broken pieces that are actually glued and will break even more.

[@katt6253]

regazzz my digitizer is fine its only the glass on the actually screen that you touch. I'm a little confused.

[@regazzz]

Let's say, There is Outer glass, actual digitizer is glued to a glass - it's thin and clear, and there is an LED screen. Usually either screen is broken or digitzer glass. Sometimes if glass is broken - digitizer still works. But if you want to change a glass, you will buy either new glass with glued digitizer on it already or you will be getting a new or used complete part bezel and glass and digitizer. You will not be able to find only glass and than remove digitizer, because ripping digitizer off glass will probably destroy it and gluing it back to glass at home will be not a nice job. I hope you got my point.

[@katt6253]

That is very informative, I now know what you mean thankyou.

[@regazzz]

Great! I hope you will be able to fix you tablet!

[@pip4nik730]

lol. did you peel some of the paint off your table with those sticker things?

[@tiffany4754]

Son dropped his ME172V it turns on and I see broken glass looking lines on a black and white screen is that the digitizer that needs to be switched out or something else? Is there a part number to look for this on ebay I'm not finding it when searching for it? Thanks for the video!

[@regazzz]

you can share a pic of it here on g+ and I will be able to tell you what is exactly going on

[@thewebmister1]

to reassemble do I need something like loca UV glue? Thanks

[@Liamleviathan]

I can't take the back off, I've tried with a knife and a flat tip screwdriver

[@jbourdette]

You should als show it turning on after re-assembly ;-)

[@regazzz]

Yes, I should, but I didn't. :)

[@sinfool6585]

thank you, could fix my touch screen with your help

[@kekeyagami]

Hi my older sister sat on my tablet and cracked the screen, whenever I turn it on it's a blueish cracked screen I can't make it do anything. Do you think that I would need a digitizer

[@regazzz]

kekeyagami Here is the catch... basically what people do call digitizer is not really a digitizer but only a glass. Than on the inner side of this glass digitizer is glued. If glass is cracked you will need to replace a whole part together with digitizer. If internal screen is not damaged - replace only digitizer but the easiest way will be to get a part with plastic bezel already. Most on eBay, for example digitizers from china without this plastic bezel and it will be too much to do. Show me the link on the part you might want to buy and I will tell what you would expect.

[@203hilfiger]

I got the same Asus tablet dropped it and now when I try to turn it on it's just a white screen with a Lil black. Your thoughts are more than welcomed.

[@regazzz]

what means little black? there is a line or like a "splash" like it is broken?

[@203hilfiger]

Yes just like a splash.

[@EvansJrFamily]

My son has the micro sd card stuck in his tablet and it will not pop out. Do you need the anti-static wrist band just to remove the back to access the sd slot or can you do it without? If need one, where do you find them? Thanks.

[@regazzz]

EvansJrFamily sorry for such a late response, very busy lately with all kind of staff. Not really, I just tell it to make if someone will shock their motherboard I will cover my ass :) I, sometimes don't use it (when I need to quickly remove something) So, don't worry, but keep in mind if you will shock your motherboard (who knows, some people wear some synthetic clothe) it will be on your sholders, on the other hand, logic board for this memopad will be cheap and you will be able to replace it (except data you have o it) :)

[@anarchyuk3922]

is the digitizer the same as the nexus 7 first gen one? looking at the internals on the video it looks pretty much the same layout!

[@regazzz]

anarchyuk nexus 7 1st gen is much harder to remove. Easier to find a replacement for memopad.

[@renaultopelbmw]

Do we need to go through all this process if we want to substitute a cracked screen? Good vid btw. Happy New Year

[@regazzz]

I would say yes.

[@monomono117]

My power button just broke and after removing the back cover the touch is now unresponsive, which specific piece of hardware do I have to check and/or replace? Thanks

[@regazzz]

Santiago Oliver Hello, you may need to chec for all cables. First of all they don't have any rips. Second that they are connected!

[@monomono117]

Thanks a lot, I may be bothering you later if I come up with any other issues. Thanks again!

[@AlliBiswalMusic4Ever]

nice video! can you make a video on how to fix a Asus MeMo Pad ME172V's inside screen cuz i accidently cracked mine... thx!

[@regazzz]

That's too much of a take apart. Do you know where to get parts for this screen? I think it will be cheaper to get just a screen by it self.

[@AlliBiswalMusic4Ever]

no i don't know where to get it. can ya tell me please? thx!

[@regazzz]

You can always find some used or new screen replacement on eBay.

[@AlliBiswalMusic4Ever]

oh ok...! THANKS!!!

[@debbiesousa8439]

my screen is frozen. how do i get it to shut off

[@middlekidown14]

When I turn on my memopad sometimes it lights up REALLY dark (so dark that I think that it is not even turning on) how can this be fix? this is also a big problem a lot of people get with this tablet

[@regazzz]

Alex Moore hello, sorry for late response, did you fixed your problem?

[@kalovegood]

My internet stopped working, it no longer works at all, I think it's a hardware issue. What do I specifically need to check or replace to fix this?

[@regazzz]

kalovegood First I would suggest to reset tablet to a factory state. Thank thinking about a hardware.

[@kalovegood]

regazzz I already reset it to factory state twice. The wifi still won't even turn on. All it does is say turning on Wi-fi but it never actually turns on no matter how long I let it try and it doesn't see any networks at all. Sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "Thank thinking about a hardware" Also which piece of the hardware is associated with the internet? Thanks for responding to me, sorry i have so many questions.

[@norrisiapeltier9148]

what do you think the problem is if i am trying to turn on the tablet and the screen is lighting up up and showing the dead battery sign but when i try to charge it the sign shows up on the screen but the tablet isnt charging? and if you do know can you offer any solutions?

[@regazzz]

Norrisia Peltier it can be a bad or not chaged battery... I had a few times something similar and after a night of charging it went away.

[@BG-sw4tj]

I am trying to take apart an ME173X. Does anyone have experience with that one? I can't seem to get one corner of the motherboard to come loose.

[@regazzz]

Hey Beth. I took apart few of me173x. It is somehow different than me172v. I was very disappointed that in me173x is very hard to separate digitizer outer glass from the actual internal screen. Anything else was pretty easy.I will upload this video today!

[@regazzz]

Aha, I remember that, I got little problem with a webcam. Webcam is connected to a motherboard on the other side.. and webcam is glued to a middle frame. You should lift up it a little and you will be able to stick something there in order to unglue sticky webcam... you will see in this video. Give me few hours to process it.

[@stanleypetit2788]

Hello, i took my tablet apart, and when i put it back together, the touchscreen was not responding. How can I fix it. (ME172V)

[@Respawnbros2013]

if you still have this problem there is a ribbon you didnt plug in properly

[@stanleypetit2788]

I made sure I plugged everything on.But its still not responding

[@Respawnbros2013]

Oh ok mine did the same thing and that was the fix

[@Respawnbros2013]

But the ribbon has to be plugged in all the way

[@stanleypetit2788]

I tried everything :(

[@micahtaylor9403]

I need help I have the same tablet but it won't turn on or take a charge. I can't even reboot it. Any suggestions?

[@regazzz]

It is either a bad motherboard/Logic board, or, maybe, a bad battery...

[@micahtaylor9403]

regazzz it wasnt dropped it just ran out of battery and when i plugged it in it showed a red battery sight but now it wont do anything wouldn't that probably be a battery problem. thank for the reply

[@regazzz]

maybe it needs to recharge a little more longer. If it is fairly new, battery should be fine.

[@slo1867]

+ micah taylor I have the same problem. How did you fix your tablet? I bought the tablet about 2 months ago. :(

[@regazzz]

I hope you will be able to fix your memopad!!!

[@middlekidown14]

so my problem is actually with the backlight how can i fix it?

[@regazzz]

Alex Moore if your led is good, change motherboard. If led is bad - change screen :)

[@GamingWithClint]

I need to replace the sd card reader do you know where I can buy one?

[@regazzz]

clint schillreff you will need to replace a whole motherboard but first back up your files etc.

[@TheMrKnify]

My kid dropped it, not too bad went to use it later screen flashed on charger no image would not turn on. I knew immediately it was the battery disconnect. Using my thumbnails popped the back of plugged in the battery. Good to go.

[@regazzz]

TheMrKnify Hey, that's a great news - thanks!

[@jaysonwest6664]

I broke my display in Asus ME 173X i order a new, wish me luck with the replacement, if is there any secrets please let me know, thank you.

[@regazzz]

Hey, I hope you fixed your Asus!

[@cassidelosreyes1867]

Does it help turn on the memo pad??

[@regazzz]

Taking apart and putting back together is not needed to turn on the tablet )) Unless you fix something that is preventing turn on process.

[@mjlapasta]

hey i have a bigger asus memo pad and i fucked the screen up, any way you have a business going and i can send it to you for you to replace the screen? or know any resources that sell screens or can you diagnose what i need to replace if i showyou the screen,? it turns on but the screen is completely fucked, black and cracked but you can tell that the screen lights up hah any help would be appreciated, my brother is a computer nerd but he wont help me

[@vitorlopes9978]

[@frizzb72]

[@solrborg7197]

[@dilan789]

when i wanted to replace battery i actually broke the disconnecter fuck

[@jizz-stain2003]

То что я посмотрел заставило меня вздрогнуть. Вы не боитесь повредить корпус открывая его карманным ножом? а отключать аккумулятор железной отверткой это вообще ужас. не удивлюсь что после вашего сбора он не включится. Следите за тем чтоб не замкнуть контакты. Страх и ужас)
