I have a kaiser with a cracked LCD screen... and i was looking on ebay for replacement parts...
this seems to be one of the cheapest ones i can find that is also in the United States and not in hong kong...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150273701038&fromMakeTrack=true
but im confused about... one thing.... whats the digitizer?.... do i need one?... does that auction contain the digitizer.... and is the digitizer and the "touchscreen" the same part?...
i had to do this myself i bought a screen with digitizer included.
The digitizer is the touchscreen layer over the top of the normal screen, not sure how easy it would be replace the touchscreen without the digitizer as its flex appears to be glued to the back of the touchscreen, and the screens don't cost much more with it pre-atatched.
I replaced my ugly mda vario 3 case with a black htc case at the same time, since i already had to have every single component out of my phone to get to the touchscreen. its beatufull now.
I see... well... does the item in the auction include the digitizer?... it looks like a single peice.... and i dont know if the digitizer is already glued on it like you mentioned.....
for me it seems like there is everything included.... replaced my cracked screen 3 weeks ago and had all the same parts as mentioned here...
if your not sure ask the seller not me, the pic may not be the actual item.

The screen on my MDA cracked (which is the main reason I upgraded to a Kaiser) but I found a replacement screen on ebay for cheap, like $10 bucks shipped from Hong Kong with the tools required to dissasemble the phone.
Now, what's cracked though, the actual LCD or the Touchscreen? If the screen still displays fine underneath the crack, you need to search for a digitizer.
If the LCD is cracked underneath an otherwise undamaged screen and no longer displays an image correctly then you need to search for a replacement LCD.
And if the crack affects both you of course need both pieces.
I just looked and only saw one person offering a combo of LCD and Digitizer for over $100 bucks. I have a feeling the TyTN II/Kaiser probably uses the same digitizer as other HTC models, so you just have to find out which ones and then order those.
This is who I ordered from if you want to contact them and see if they have what you need.

thank you..for yer help..no..only the screen underneath is cracked cuz everything is fine except the image doesnnt show..at all....but some black type of thngz
wow another one, welcome to the club of mortified Kaiser owners that had to go through this. you should hit up njbridges (a member on this forum) he sells them just send him your e-mail addy. also try a search on this forum there should be a thread or two with this situation (me being included) your main two options are to ship it to htc for them to repair (which is costly) or do the repair yourself (depends on how comfortable u feel with such an operation) unless there is someone in brooklyn that might be able to help.
Who did u buy it from? egadgetdepot is in BK so u can google them up and ask them if they have anyone that sells the screen.
it seems that i have broken LCD screen in my kaiser. Really angry right now...

ok, what's done its done, but now i need the new screen. I have tried on ebay but there are so many that i can't really tell witch one is original HTC LCD and witch one is replacement from china.
Can you help on this one? Is there any difference in quality of the LCD screent betwean the original and replacement???
thanx
well I just recently replaced my screen and my friend replaced his about 1 month ago.
I got mine from blackberryparts or something like that it is fine. loked exactly like the one I took out.
he got his from cnn.cn and it was the same as well.
we can't tell any difference from the one we replaced.
good luck.
tell me, from cnn.cn , did you get the touch matrix also with the LCD screen?
Yesterday I replaced broken digitizer on mine.
Usually when there is a crack on the outside glass, the LCD panel inside is still fine. So you have two options - buy the digitizer only (the glass part) for about $10-$13, or buy the whole screen (LCD + digitizer) for about $50. eBay sells both.
The whole screen is a lot easier to install. The digitizer is way more difficult as you have to separate the LCD from the digitizer and then do some tricky soldering of the ribbon cable.
ok i just replaced my busted screen like 2 days ago.
this is what you need.

but be very careful when disconnecting it. i was rough with the keyboard disconnecter and now my, (n,m,k,i, and period keys wont respond) it took about
an hour and twenty minutes.
if u have a thick guitar pick it works fine as the opening tool. u also need torx screws
So I closed my G1 in a car door and the outside glass isnt broke, but my lcd screen is.. (only the top 25% is visible..) touch works on the whole screen area... anyone know a good replacement screen?
I got quoted £120 for a replacement from T-Mo, searched eBay for a HTC Dream LCD, loads popped up for around £20, bought one and then used the service manual to change the old one for the new, worked like a charm.
did you need the outside glass or inside lcd? did you have to replace both?
how bout this... I RTFM...
thanks tho
Hey guys, I have just broken my diamond and I'm looking for a doner to repair mine.. My screen glass is cracked..
My screen works and the colours are not spreading..
My touch works and I can still use the device..
So I'm guessing there is glass between the digitizer and the actual display.
Would is be easier to repair it with parts from a doner phone or...
purchase this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FULL-LCD-Scre...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3363b4604e
And replace the whole screen assembly. That includes the full front as you see in the eBay picture...
You're right. There's a glass between digitizer and display... But they are all glued... it's a difficult work to reassemble everything...
Yeah I thought so...
The reason I posted this was to see if anyone had an old broken bricked diamond I could useas a doner for the whole screen..
Sent using RapidRead!
I tried the same but resulted in completely disaasebling the LCD. And was of no use later. I had to buy a new one. Better get a new on instead.
Yeah, I most likely will
I just asked here to see if I could get one a little cheaper, but then paying around £20-£25 for a brand new screen etc, which includes the screen, digitizer, glass etc...
What you see in the eBay pic is what I would be removing from a doner phone.
But also if I bought a new one from ebay that would then get rid of any scratches etc.
Although I've always had a protector on it from day one, it was bought second hand so there are some minute scratches
On HTC XL it is imposible to change digitizer only .I just try to repair myself and ruined semi usable phone with cracked but fully working glass. Touch digitizer screen and lcd are (unlike some other models) GLUED together.!.
So sellers who sell digitizer only for 30$ are essentialy fakers, not telling you that it is imposible to change Digitizer only. But for 30$ many try and both throw that money and render phone totaly unusable. So they must buy whole LCD +TOUCH assembly that is much expensive. now about 150$ .
TIP: If you have cracked SXL - use it that way if you can (like me 30day with almost no problems) or buy whole assembly. No middle here
I can also confirm this, I had a semi cracked screen, phone still 100% usable and changed the digitizer screen not realizing the LCD was actually attached to the digitizer. Phone is now completely useless. This leaves sites selling the digitizer replacements selling items that are useless. My only option now is to buy a new LCD and digitizer replacement for around £90 in the UK or buy a non HTC one for £55 from Hong Kong.

You can separate the digitiser from the LCD by heating the face of the phone with a hairdryer which softens the glue. You then run a non-marring pry tool around the phone to separate the two.
Messy with a very good chance of cracking the LCD, but it can be done. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585909
I guess the shopkeeper wasn't scamming me when he said the digitizer can't be remove on this set
