Which LCD version/revision do you have on your Blackberry Bold?
 

So when I look around for parts for the Blackberry Bold, it's one of the few smartphones that has been shipped with three different part numbers for the LCD. So far there are 001/004, 002/004, and 003/004. This of course begs the question, where's 004/004?

Anyway if you've ever had occasion to take apart your Bold, and happened to notice which version of the LCD you have, please let us know!

Just started problems with my 9000 lcd the other day, so i had to order a new one. Its a 002/004 version. Also there is a 004/004 version...and the new white 9000 Bolds are shipping with them.

Aha. Thanks. I guess the aftermarket parts places haven't gotten inventory in yet.

where do i look for the part number?

Wirelessly posted

Mine is on the back of the LCD. Its a 003. Black bold 9K from a few weeks ago. 8700 was getting old. :)

You would have to take apart your Blackberry Bold. So unless you've had to replace your LCD, chances are you won't know.

Of course people are free to take apart their Blackberrys. LOL

When I was replacing my LCD, I always wondered what the difference is..

And what would have happened if, say, I used the 003/004 instead of the 002/004

I think that the physical dimensions are slightly different. I am not sure about the circuitry.

So basically if you used the wrong LCD revision, the repair wouldn't quite fit properly back together with the new LCD for your Blackberry Bold

I've seen where someone used a 003/004 version where it was supposed to be a 002/004 and their lcd didn't function correctly. It showed a bunch of multicolored bars across the screen. It most likely has something to do with how the information is being sent to the lcd from the main board. Firmware controlled.

I guess on the Bold you're talking about same physical form, different circuitry.

I just know that when you do an LCD repair on a Blackberry Tour, there are two LCD revisions and in that case the physical dimensions are slightly different.

It could be physical dimension, it could be circuitry. Either way, its best to get the exact version that replaces the one that was originally installed.

003/004
i love my Bolds screen. Very nice. :)

Hello everyone.
I work in mobile service center so I can confirm a few thing.

There are no dimension differences between lcd revisions on the bold or the
curve 8900.
For the curve 8900 I tryed a v 003 (originally it had 002) and only a couple of lines appeared on the screen. They are incompatible with each other.

For the bold v001 and 002 might be compatible if you have a certain hardvare revision in your phone. Ex a customer brought a bold with a broken lcd it was v002 and I had on stock a v001 display and it worked okay.
Not sure why exactly.

My advice is the same as raptors. Replace only with same version just to be on the safe side.

Wow, thank you, very useful information!

I have 001/004 which sucks because it seems to be the most expensive:cry:

I have the white screen right now and cannot get anything to display at all. Looks like I will need to replace it.

Anybody tried using a different screen on this model with any success?

Oh man, that stinks. Sorry to hear that. I don't think it's worth it to try another screen model. Most of the places I use charge the same price for your Blackberry repair part regardless of revision.

I have a blackberry bold 9000. There is no part # on the back of the LCD display like 001/004. It only has this number VA081108EM2. Do you know what model LCD display this might be 002/004, 003/004, 001/004 ????

Can anyone help?

...

The actual number you need should be on the ribbon connector. If you post everything that's on the ribbon maybe we can help.

Okay, I will look when I get home, and post whatever details I can find. But I don't recall seeing anything on it, it obnly very small

When you state ribbon, you mean the very small connector than plugs onto the motherboard?

Exactly. It's been a while since I looked at a Bold, but for example on a Storm I'm working on, the numbers on the LCD ribbon cable are what I go by to order the right part.

On the back of the LCD screen, there is a label in the middle with a serial number, VA081108EM2 for example. Below this label, on the metal casing of the screen, there should be a number etched onto the metal, 002/004 for example. See this picture for example:

Thanks Raptor. I was totally wrong. Haven't had a Bold open in a while. :oops:

The screen I have looks exactly the same as the middle picture 002/004 with VA serial number but there is no number etched in the location indicated in red for that version.

Find attached picture of screen. the only other number I can find is LMS265DC01

When I see

a) how it looks physically at the top of the LCD and the shape of the gasket
b) the part number similarity (starts with VA08)
c) also lacking in actual designation in circled area

I'm going to go with version two aka 002/004.

Thanks for the pic, very illustrative of how hard it can be to identify.

Thanks that was my thoughts also. I've just ordered one 002/004 Will post again once received.
Can't imagine why they need to have so many versions of an LCD screen....

Since the different screen versions are incompatible to each other it's not only the screens that are different but the controllers/circuitry on the board.

They may have commissioned more than a single manufacturer to deliver them. Or early versions may had issues. Personally i have a 002/004 that has been replaced twice for going white.

how to vote if I have all 3 ver/rev?

No identifier
 

I have a cracked LCD screen and cannot find out what the code is for a new screen.
Hope that someone can help me as reading emails, texts is getting annoying.

The screen has no codes on ribbons or back, the only codes are on the speaker piece

@ddgrus:
Look in the back of Ur bold, near IMEI number.
If Ur bold was made in Hungary, 002/004 is LCD U need. Madin Canada, LCD is 003/004 and the rest for bold made in Mexico. 95% correct.
Or U can take another shot and macro at connector, I'll tell U wich rev/ver of your LCD.

No LCD Identifier
 

Paloma -

No LCD identifier found on mine either, Bold was made in Mexico, does that mean I should go with 001/004?

Hi, I need to find a screen for my 9700, I tried LCD 002/111 but got a white screen with barely visible image, However, I don't know what the original LCD version should be. Is there a way to tell? The phone is made in Mexico. Thanks.

codes should be somewhere on the LCD or the ribbon cable. I do Blackberry Repair in the Washington DC area and I have yet to find a Blackberry I've taken apart and didn't find the part number of the LCD. I don't have them all memorized so I can't remember any more where the one for the 9700 is but it might be on the connector in tiny letters. Check the pictures of the spare parts from the website you're ordering from to see where the numbers are on the pictured part.

Thanks, problem is I don't have the old screen therefore can only guess what should go on there. Does the body of the phone has any reference to the LCD version that goes in there?

I just got a piece in that looks exactly like the middle one in Raptor's post (002/004) and the etching was SO faint I had to look again three times to finally see it. Great pics Raptor, for helping with my Blackberry repair.

I bought a replacement 003/004 screen as I had broken mine, and It still didn't work...

Bought it from this vendor:
ww.amazon.com/gp/product/B001W41I0Y/ref=oss_product]Amazon.com: BlackBerry Bold 9000 lcd screen samsung version(003/004): Electronics: Reviews, Prices & more

It seems as if others have had similar expereinces, so maybe it is simple the item, not the code compatability. But it is clearly a made in Canada phone (9000) and the screen according to the vedor is a 003/004 although there are no markings on the back of the screen to indicate this.

Did you check the old part number before you ordered the replacement? What does the old part say on it?

Hi,

Re: Which LCD version/revision do you have on your Blackberry Bold?
 

hi i have a bold 9650 with LCD 004. can i use it for 002?or how can i convert it?

Re: Which LCD version/revision do you have on your Blackberry Bold?
 

I have just had a 9700 in for repair.

The screen that was faulty was 002-111... HOWEVER...

A retailer send me a 002-444. Yes, 444!

I don`t venture into blackberry world very often, but never seen one before...

Fitted it into this bold and... Didn`t work...

Fitted physically fine, but screen was black, though the backlight appeared to be working, making the black pixels look not as black as when it was turned off...

What advice would you give? Is this 444 revision compatible and one of the filters could have gone down on the board? Or have I been sold something incompatible?

I have pics to prove this once I can post them up.

Re: Which LCD version/revision do you have on your Blackberry Bold?
 

My screen broke as well so I opened it to fix it manage to fix it but I cleaned of the version number at the or I either peeled it off as I did not know they had different versions. When it cam to the time to change the screen I did not take notice as before So I went with "Paloma's" advice

My Bold was made in Mexico so I ordered 001/111 and it worked so the above information is only helpful if you do not know the original version of screen say you bought it without screen
