IdeaCentre B520: Separating Touch Screen Layer from Screen

Hello,
Unfortunately I slightly broke the Touch Screen of my PC by hitting the screen and it is now full of cracks.
However PC is working nontherless and the screen behind the thin Touch Screen layer is intact: I would like to remove the Touch Screen layer from the screen behind it to keep using my PC as it didn't have a Touch Screen layer.
I tried already to detach it, however I noticed that on the sides of it there are electrical contacts that link the Touch Screen to the PC.
Here comes my question: can I dismount the Touch Screen from my PC without risking to harm the PC itself?
Thank you in advance,
Massimo

Hi Shiva,
Lenovo Customer Support (Ireland) gave me the URL that I can use to order spare parts for my PC:
Link: https://www.medion.com/lenovoserviceshop/search?sbf=true&sn=CS00028252&x=57&y=5&lang=en
I eventually decided to buy the touch layer and replace it myself.
However Customer Support could not help me with identifying what is the exact name of the part I need to replace, and on the website is very hard to understand what each part is, without a picture or a proper description for it.
PIECE TO REPLACE
Here you have a picture of what I need:
Link: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-new-original-23-0-glass-All-in-one-outside-the-screen-glass-For-l...
I don't trust these sellers and I would like to buy this part from Lenovo.
Now I need to understand how this part is called in the Spare Parts website I posted before. I would exclude 'Display' since the screen is actually intact (only the touch screen layer is broken).
MY RESEARCH
According to the Hardware Maintenance Manual of my PC
Link: http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/desktop_pub/ideacentre_b5_b520_hmm.pdf
the correct name for the replacement part I am looking for could be:
B520 Front Bezel for 3D Touch - # 31-049855 (see page 27-28 for a picture, and page 67 for the part number, in the manual linked above)
But I have to say I am not 100% sure 'that' is the part I am looking for, since the picture in the manual is not self explenatory (there is a layer in front of the Bezel that does not have a name in the manual, and that looks like what I need).
Also, if I compare Spare parts numbers between the Hardware Maintenance Manual and the Spare Parts Website they are different. The Manual has "Service Part Numbers (FRU)", while the website has "MSN" numbers...
So I have no clues on how to pick the right part. My guess would be one of these:
- Housing components ; MSN: 35003197 ; Frame, stand
- Housing components ; MSN: 35004023; Screening, mainboard
- Housing components ; MSN: 35004032 ; Mount, display
- Housing components ; MSN: 35004033; Front panel
- Housing components ; MSN: 35004034; Mount, display frame
But with such brief description and no picture, is almost impossible for me to understand...
 KR,
Massimo

  • Replacing non-touch screen on C560 ideacentre with a touch screen? Is it possible?

    I have a C560 Ideacentre non-touch screen all-in-one desktop. The screen is busted on it, and I am curious if I can install a touch screen in it instead of the non-touch screen it currently has in it. I know they make the C560's with touch screens also, so I would think it is possible, but I'm not sure. Also, I can't find a part number for the touch screen to order it.Any advice on this would be great. My machine type is listed as 10150

    Not sure if this helps, but my serial number is: cs02200327

  • How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

    how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?  my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone.  as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera.  I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive.  any suggestions?  teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

        I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

  • The screen on my Ipod touch came away from the back.

    The screen on my ipod touch came away from the back and then stuck back down a couple of days later. The battery seems to be weak now but everything else is OK. What could have caused this? Over chargibg in the car cradle?, Heat? Being held too tightly in the cradle?, Getting water inside?
    Has this happend to any of you.

  • Touch screen no longer works after waking up from sleep

    3 out of 4 times when my computer goes to sleep my touch screen will no longer work when it wakes up. I have to restart the computer to get it to recognize the pen. Is there an easier way of refreshing the system so that it will recognize the pen? Is this an operating system issue, I have vista currently.

    Any resolution on this issue. Please advise as I am having the same problem when upgrading from Windows 7 to 8 on my X230T (3434cto)

  • I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

    I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question. 

    Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
    Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

  • My iphone 4s fell from the bed and the front screen glass got cracked but the touch screen is working fine, so can i replace just that screen glass?? If not what am i to do ? And how much it might cost me for that repairing??

    I don't know. You'll have to ask.
    FYI, if the phone was not originally sold in India, it can not be serviced in India. You will have to take it back to the country where it originated.

  • Can't load my ipod nano from itunes on a mac; that is, I can't drag and drop an mp3 file (of a speech) from iTunes to my iPod--though the iPod shows up on iTunes. My nano is the brand new touch screen.

    I received the new iPod Nano with the touch screen for Christmas. I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8. I have iTunes 10 on my system. I cannot drag and drop MP3 files from iTunes to my iPod--though it appears that iTunes recognizes my iPod--it shows up on the Devices menu on the left side of iTunes. My wife--a long-time Mac user--kidded me that I didn't know what I was doing, Then she tried to load my iPod and failed as well. Any suggestions?

    Is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?

  • Hi My grandparents just bought an iPod Touch for me from Dubai, UAE. I can't see any facetime on the home screen nor in the settings. I've read that it's not possible. But is it possible if I get my OS updated again from India?

    Hi My grandparents just bought an iPod Touch for me from Dubai, UAE. I can't see any facetime on the home screen nor in the settings. I've read that it's not possible. But is it possible if I get my OS updated again from India?

    There is no way you can activate Facetime on an iPod touch purchased in the UAE. The government there required Apple to lock off Facetime at the hardware level and there's no way to unlock it. Reinstalling iOS, regardless of country, will not help. If you want Facetime, you will need to sell your UAE-version iPod and buy one there in India.

  • Capture a physical signature from a touch screen?

    Is there a way to capture a physical signature from a touch screen PC, tablet, or phone and imbed that directly into an Acrobat fillable form without utilizing other devices or programs?
    Thank you!

    Hi Chandrika,
    Please provide the details of the BADI you are using. In general you have to go to the methods in BADI and see which are all the fields associated with that method. In your case you have to search the field which captures the value entered by the user.
    You can also check this  by putting break point in GET_INSTANCE method of CL_EXITHANDLER class (Through SE24) and check in which field value entered by the user being captured and also you can find out the BADI involved.
    Then you can go to SE19 and in the BADI you can find the relevant method.
    Then you need to code in the relevant method and use the field which is capturing the value whereever you need.
    Regards,

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • No response from touch screen since iOS 6.0.1 update

    I updated my new iPhone 5 to iOS 6.0.1 the day that it came out, and since then - i have had 2 different incidents where the touch screen had no response. The first time was just when i was using different apps (not on a phone call) - and the 2nd time just happened to me not long ago where i was just trying to hang up from a phone call, and it wouldn't let me "End Call".
    I was able to hit the home button and the phone responded to that, but then it wouldn't let me touch the screen to go back to this call that i was trying to end in the first place.
    Is anyone else having a problem with the touch sensitivity of their iPhone since the update to iOS 6.0.1?

    I have not seen your problem rep[orted here before.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
