Repairing a smashed pen display // Huion Kamvas 22 pro

- So a little walkthrough on how i repaired my huion kamvas pen display - kind of the same type of a tool as wacom cintiq - used for drawing on the screen / using a pen for interacting with your software
the Layer of glass got smashed due to a fairly terrible placement of my htc vive vr set (new apartment, hadnt thought through the dangers of monitors facing the play area)
Huion's support just told be to buy a new one and wouldnt help with any repaits - did not agree with that BS, so i ordered a piece of glass from a local glass company (for windows and such) and a car windshield repair kit for the glass paint and glue, then fit it all together.
it works,definitely not as good as the original but for my fairly infrequent use, it will do. - Jak na to + styl
Props to you man for actually trying out a diy repair that in my experience with replacing laptop/tablet/phone glasses is exactly the same process. (but also lucky you that the LCD display underneath wasn't damaged!) It's a shame that wacom huion etc. don't even offer replacement parts for a consumer to purchase for what are perfectly fine devices and often VERY expensive in the first place even if it's a more budget oriented device.
tip: use 99% alcohol on a q-tip and apply conservatively + scraping/abrasion to REALLY get rid of the old glue proper. - but that primer, windshield silicone , and clamp compression basically guaranteed that glass ain't going nowhere even with the old glue on there lol.
Neat, thanks for the tip. And yeah, shame there's no spare parts for such simple repairs
What can I do if I damaged the display?, touch screen still working but it just show a black screen with some white points. It doesn't even show the Huion logo when It turns on. Can I Buy a new display and replace it? Heeelp
you changed my day with this!
I got my very old wacom DTI 520 cracked. So I was planning to get it fixed in local pc repair but worried that they might be rough or damage it. Your fix looks so easy to apply at home. Thanks a lot. I have antiglare screen (tinted glass that by coincidence fits on top of my wacom). Had the same problem, the feeling of its not like graphic tablet screen anymore. So I got those A3 transparent plastic sheet from printing shop and placed it on top of the screen. About 10 cent a sheet and replace it after few months ( you can see scribbles once the monitor is off or when sunlight hits the black screen). But this solved my problem.
Excellent tip, thanks!
Did you fix it?
My old setup is still on, never thought of sending it to be replaced. My Wacom is very old still working with minor issues (no screen issue )but get things done and sending it for screen replacement must be handled with care (old equipment) and I can’t take that risk.
hey! so if i understood correctly the transparent plastic sheet feels better when you use it? and you basically placed it over the glass one or you only used the plastic one?
Very informative and helpful.
Thanks man, great vid, I have a Cintiq 24 that suffered a big crash on shipping, I'll try this fix, probably will look for a translucent acrylic instead of glass though.
You're welcome. Do be aware that thin acrylic of that size will flex a lot and it will scratch up real easily. Also with wacom, the customer support might be a bit better where they might be willing to repair or sell the parts ;)
@@jokoivi thanks for the tip, I reached to wacom, but I'm in Mexico and customer support down here is not that relliable, also very expensive, so I think I'm going to go with the DIY option.
@@gonzomandela ah, i can relate. Good luck, hope the repair works out!
I am using GT 221 pro product and my glass is damaged
I'm thinking about whether to use tempered glass or acrylic
Thank you for the video!
I try and get another peice of glasee and try and see if you can use like 1000 grit wet and dry sand paper see if can give it some texture could even use a sander to speed it up.
Are there any videos on opening this monitor up?
Hi, Have you taken the back cover off your tablet yet? I would like some tips.
Hi there. Thanks for sharing this. I'm going through a similar fix on a much smaller tablet, but like you, my LCD and touch screen work. Can you tell me how thick the replacement glass is?
I don't want to get something that is too thick and won't work for the capacitive touch screen.
You can just test how thick it can be by hovering your pen over the screen... If the cursor still works, it's good. Mine was 3mm. Anything thicker would be affect the drawing experience negatively while thinner would be hard to find i'd imagine
@@jokoivi 3mm is the minimum thickness my local glass company can provide, so that's good news. I will get it cut by them and test it out before I do any gluing. Thank you for the swift response!
Im trying to take out my broken glass right now but when i see your video it seems that yours had glue only in the borders, mine has some kind of glue/silicon through the entire surface of the screen
hi joseph. all ok?
could you help ?.. my monitor was scratched by another glass, the risk that makes my work very difficult, I think I will have to change the glass for another one, or simply invert it!
Could you tell me if it is safe for me to remove the entire glass with the iron? without breaking
Would it be safe? Definitely not, it's always a risky move which should be taken only if there's no way around it. There is a always chance of damaging the LCD underneath or breaking the glass. Also, Just the iron would not be enough, it Will need to be cut / pried with a blade still. The heat is mainly to make the glue a bit less stiff and give it a bit of leeway to get the knife in between. On the idea of flipping the glass around, while that might be a solution, the texture in the other side is not the same - the top is matted while the bottom is your normal slippery glass.
I'd rather recommend finding some stick-on screen protector sheets instead as someone mentioned in one of the comments of this video. That should take care of the scratch.
Good job.
Thankfully my glass is fine but I bent the 3 in 1 cable while inside the usb c port of mine. Do you think theyll do these kinds of repairs like replacing the usb c port inside the tablet? I have the 22 plus
You can take it to any electronics repair shop, soldering on a new port should be a fairly trivial task ;)
@@jokoivi Thats reassuring to hear tho I'm not sure they have that special 3 in 1 usb port, or is that technology all in the cable?
@@VeylmanTheRockI'm no expert but most likely in the cable yeah since USB c port is a USB c port, same pins.
would you be interested in preprepping one for a kamvas pro 20 if i pay you?
Sorry, not taking on any side project, more in need of time than money 😜
And what's the size of this screen glass to buy it?
For my specific model, it was:
thickness: 3 mm
Width (mm):
510
Length (mm):
31
If yours is different, use a measuring tape on the glass.
The shop I used has gone out of business since. Just Google "glass cut to measure" and you should get some hits.
Omg really thank you!!! @@jokoivi
Couldn't be better a 2mm glass? Mine is the sabe drawing table than yours.
@@jokoiviand what do you think its better to search? An acrylic transparent pannel or a glass like you did?
Is not the length 31mm too small for this piece? Is that correct??
Did your screen had a glue inside of the entire glass too?
@@miyafoxy2540 only on the sides. Might be that new models have changed?
@@jokoivi Mine is from 2018 😭 4 days removing this amount of glue. But it will work.
OMG you actually used glass panel (heavy and too shinny/reflexions).....why you didn't used plexiglass (acrylic transparent glass)1- 2mm tick, isn't heavy,little flexible, more cheap, easier to cut and the manufacor probable used the same (plastic glass).....also you can aply a transparent sticker as a protector and you will have a little grip to feel like drawing on paper and reduces the reflexions
Original was glass as well, just 1mm thinner with a matted surface. And I specifically went with glass because plexiglass is too soft - the pen would scratch it up real easily and it would flex under your hand with such a large panel and small thickness. And Plexi has plenty of reflections as well since its not the material, rather surface smoothness which causes it.
