Phone Screen Repair

[Fog 25]

Order a screen replacement from AliExpress
First hit the edge of the screen with a hair dry to loosen up the glue.


Use some Alcohol to loosen the glue. Pray off the broken screen



Once the screen is free unscrew the ribbon from the screen and I put some tape on the connecting port to keep any pieces getting in the port.


Clean the edges of glue and glass pieces. Use alcohol to remove the glue from the edges.
Once clean take the new screen and plug it in and check if it’s functioning properly. Then put the double sided tape along the sides.


Run the glue around the edges and place the screen in place. Check for proper alignment and functions. Put a little weight overnight on the screen.

I’am trying a screen protector. I don’t know if it will help? I figured it wouldn’t hurt. The one on the old screen was a temporary put on after screen was broke.

Nice! I've attempted to do screens on phones before, but haven't been successful. I'm glad to see this one is pretty straight forward to fix.

As much as I hope I NEVER have to do this, I'm proactively going to buy a new screen

Don't forget to order the glue as well, it was not included in the spare screen I ordered.

I doubt it, the BV6300 Pro is the phone that came on the MX1

According to Gemini

Also according to Gemini:

Are the screen sizes the same for the Stark Varg ARkenstone phone and the Blackstone BV6300 Pro?

Gemini said
No, the screen sizes for these two devices are different.

The Blackview BV6300 Pro features a 5.7-inch display. In contrast, the phone integrated into the Stark Varg motocross bike (often referred to as the Stark Varg "Arkenstone" display or phone) utilizes a 6.5-inch screen.

AI is only as useful as the question that you ask it.

and I think it's pretty clear I asked it if the 2 devices were the same and it just gave me an incorrect answer, that or you're wrong?

According to Gemini

"They kept the external "military-grade" housing identical to maintain compatibility with the existing docking station and charging mounts"

This is incorrect, the docking stations are different.

If you are going to ask AI, it might be better to ask Stark's AI (Sam)
So I asked Sam and it seems that Stark offers a screen protector for the Arkenstone:

Reply from Sam:
No, an MX 1.0 Stark Phone screen protector or case should not be expected to fit the Stark VARG MX 1.2 Arkenstone, they are different phones.

For the MX 1.2 (Arkenstone), use the dedicated Arkenstone screen protector, available here.

I need a new screen a protector is to late

I need a new screen a protector is to late

I did some searching and found at least one guy who thought his screen was broken, but it was only the screen protector that was actually broken.
Aside from that possibility, it seems that you have to replace the entire phone.
I'm guessing that There is probably a compatible replacement screen somehow, somewhere, but so far only Stark knows that, and they are not sharing the information.
If it is still usable, I would just keep using it with the broken screen.
On my MX1, my screen has had a single crack across it for over a year, I do have a replacement screen for it, but I haven't bothered to swap it yet.

If you crash as much as I do, I would be afraid that as soon as I replace or repair the phone or screen, it would get broken again.

Another alternative is the Svag app on any iphone or android: Svag

Well more to this saga,,, took bike to MX track today and sure enough the ***** phone popped off the bike and got crushed so now it's a real mess but it's still "usable" that said I really want a new screen.

It really is unfortunate that Stark elected to use a cell phone for the display.
I haven’t heard of any Stark owners that are happy with the phone as a display.
