XTS3000 Screen replacement.

[photoguy2]

Thanks everyone. Especially you jhal94. I've got it to the point where enough pixels work and stay working that it's very usable.

Of note: To those fighting over the tool. I bought it, and it worked 2 times, on the third time, putting the housing back on, it cracked the housing. I should have just stuck with the two screwdrivers..... My dad collects glue and general tools like I collect radios. I took it over to him, and he put some super-duper high tech glue that will hopefully fix it.

Thanks again to everyone.

You don't use the tool to put the housing back on.......

Yea... the housing snaps back into place without the tool...

And snaps in place even easier if you lube the seal first.
Not sure why you used the tool to put the case back together. Maybe you mis typed.
At least you can read the display now, thats all you reaaly wanted anyway.
Sorry to hear you broke the case anyway after buying the tool though.

Just wont give it up about that lube that is not necessary.. I guess the hundreds of XTS's I have been repairing are just not up to par...

You've got to be kidding me lol. MODS! please close the thread. And i'm glad to hear the screen is working to your standards photoguy.

Sounds like you won't give up! LOL

It is much easier to get the radio back together if you lubricate the gasket if you reuse it! How can you possibly argue with that FFPM571? But you never lube gaskets, so you wouldn't know. I just answered my own question.

As far as your second comment, ya I believe the 100's of radio's you have supposedly repaired, ARE SUB PAR.
Do it right, replace the gasket or lube it. Don't be a hack,as you have called me in post#11


Back to the OP, can you comment on how the case broke. in a little more detail. I'm just curious?

I know it's a really old post but I wanted to know if anyone here has bought and used the replacement LCD from Ali express? I know it's a lower quality screen but if I don't plan to spend $400 on a nicer LCD screen when I can buy a whole new radio for cheaper.

I have not, however some people over on P25 have had good luck with them.

There is no reason why they should not work. They are probably made is the same factory as the original Moto ones were. It's not uncommon for Chinese manufacturers to make more than they sell to the original client, and then sell them later.

Ok, thank you for the reply I appreciate it
