Hi,
The XDA Diamond of my little brother has some cracks between the display and the touch-surface. (see attachement)
I sent the device O2, but they (their service-partner) said "no warranty" and want ~ 300€ for the repair.
I just looked into the service-manual, because I thought about repairing it by myself.
But I think it's to difficult for me.
Now I wonder if anybody know a cheap mobile-shop, who can repair my Diamond.
I live in Cologne. My Brother (and my family) near Hannover. (both in Germany)
But Online-Shops are also good.
Thank you!
the screen is on ebay - item 230285205211. They also offer repairs
search for the dismantle guide (sorry don't have it to hand)
i also got cracks on my screen just like your brother....
I decided to order one of the replacement screen from ebay that comes with the needed tools to do it myself. i payed about 25 dollars including shipping and should receive it anytime from now.... If you r willing to wait , i ll post feedback on how hard it is to do it yourself.
About dismantling the diamond u ll find easily links from google.
Good luck!
how do the cracks actually appear in the first place?
was it the result of something the manufacturer might classify as "abuse" or "accidental damage"?
Often I pick up my phone (HTC Victor) and think that it feels quite fragile compared to something like the N95... so i treat it accordingly - ie, with a little more care..
I already looked throu the disamble guide.
@Sebienbon
It would be great, if you would post feedback and maybe photos of the repair process (step-by-step) wich are not in the disamble guide.
Meanwhile I will do one more try with the service partner.
@bobbified
It just happened. I think my brother carried the device in his trouser pocket (jeans) when he was riding by bike. But imo such a expensive phone should be strong enough.
Also theere is no damage on the outside.
@hays
Thanks. But I am not sure if this is the right part.
My LCD still works. All pixels are fine.
But the "whatever" between the LCD and touch-surface is cracked.
Thanks everybody so far
i just got the kit this morning but the screw driver is wrong( probably because of a different country , i live in denmark and the screen comes from asia... so i ll go buy a tiny screw driver that i miss and then give it a go
Hey,
I´ve got the same problem. But my Screen is more broken
Although it works.
I read the Service Manual too but im not sure if it works with this part:
http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-digitizer-p-2128.html
Because on the last Picture in the Manuel you see only the front part of the phone and nothing about the part linked above.
So I w`ont open it before I`m not sure whats exactly to do.
Also I asked some firms do make me an offer for repairing the mobile phone.
The best offer is 129,00 € or 169,00 € if the dismantling create scratches on the Display under the touch screen because they are glued.
Very expensive!
Now I´m waiting for your experiences too.

Any update?
no updates
Man i wish i know of the manual to take this apart. You can fix it yourself if you take your time man, and dont be like me man. I took it apart thinking that the black tape under the battery is just tape!!!! And rip the mini-usb power ribbon. Man my heart sank.. So on that note if any of you guys know of a site or store to order parts from. please let me know also....
@lphar56
Is the diamond display made of glass and not the plastic stuff some other screens are made of???
The display is LCD so im guessing glas.. but it has a Touch Digitizer over the top.. that can scratch very easy and is only £15 off ebay
GET INSURANCE........
IF IT BREAKS, MAKE IT DISAPPEAR CLAIM FOR A STOLEN FONE
HTC diamond screen replacement
Hey guys!
AFAIK the cracks that appear are in the glass of the touch-screen-unit.
so i try to figure out how to replace this part only.
Is it glued to the LCD?
Which glue sould be used to fix it again?
Or does it even come with the screen?
I'd like to post a guide here if it works, so please help me answering this last question!
Also, replacing only the touchscreen would lower the repair cost to a third...
Thanks!
Still no update?? on the steps to remove digitizer?

Has anybody a guide or experience on changing the screen? I have the same questions as above!
Hi Folks!
I have a tiny injury on the Display like a stone-chipping, now the touch doesn´t work anymore. He think that I pushing on this point. :-(
I found the LC-Display (89€) and the touch-unit (59€) to buy. On "hot-wire-telekom. de"
Is there any guide how to change the Touchdisplay?

where can i get a replacment screen i dropped mine and its now bust please help thx in advance
Ooops!
Hi, I did the same and the people at O2 replaced it for £70
Not too bad, and I got a new casing as well!
Adam
thanks will give them a try
No they don't!!! already checked with them and be sure to check out the other forums relating to this topic BEFORE you go further - check whether it is just the touchscreen or the whole screen that needs replacing saves you time and money as others have made this mistake!!! I think the £70 price is if you are a U.K O2 contrated owner, cause they told me it was double this price and I was just needing my touchscreen replaced as it was scratched up!!
Hi,
I have a new XDA which basically doesn't work because something in the circuitry is broken and it doesn't make any sound.However eveything else works(what I mean is the phone bit doesn't work,but the PDA side of it does).
What that means is that the screen and other physical external parts are in perfect working order.
So if you are looking for a screen or any other major part,I could be persuaded to part with it at a reasonable price.
DO let me know in this forum and we can arrange things from there.
screen
Hi,
My screen was broken also, did a huge search through the internet and came up with nothing. The only thing that could be replaced was the touch screen, not the lcd screen. I had to sent it back to o2. Cost: 284 Euro!!!!!
It's been 3 weeks now, and I'm still waiting for my phone :shock: .
Succes,
Stefan
The LCD screen and all the physical parts are perfectly ok on my XDA.So someone can make a tidy saving by taking the XDA off me in case their screen is broken.
Any takers please contact me at [email protected]
hm
and how much do you want to have for your broken xda?
I wouldn't like to drive this.Offer me a price and I will let you know if I do accept the price.
But no point asking me to part with it for €50 or something as ridiculous as that as I already have an offer for €75 and am waiting for something better.As I said all the parts are in perfect order and there are no scratches or anything like that.So you get a safety net of all replaceable parts.
I am open to offers on this one.
I was thinking about this and maybe half of what O2 charge to replace the screen is a fair price? On top of the screen,you will get the exterior casing,buttons,stylus the ROM,everything. So I think it is a fair price.Let me know if anyone's interested.
bbanduser
I would be interested in your xda
mail me on [email protected] if you like
Thanks
Martin
Hi Martin,
I have sent you a mail at the mail address you mentioned in your post.
My XDA is no longer available as it has been sold to Martin.
Thanks for the interest guys.
hi, i bought a new lcd for my tytn II, can you tell me how to change it? i can't open the case...
You will break warranty on phone doing it youreself, if you dont have that kinda insurance (hard to claim on theese issues) you should talk to nearest el. shop, but remeber they are prolly not HTC experts. Best thing is to goto provider and talk to them, otherwise check this how to pick youre device apart

Yeh it is dead expensive, I got an extra warranty on my device, costed me additional 250$ But if I drop the phone to the floor and it breaks I get a new one same day, and whit my handling... Its cheap. Just ie. changing a lcd cost 390$ over here, you prolly can get it cheaper somewhere though. But then again everything is expensive in Norway hehe, device itself new lays around 800-1000$ boxed, some even take more! so doing it youreself is a real moneysaver for sure.
Good luck, hope everything works out for you

here the device cost 829€, very much.
my kaiser has never fall, i think that the LCD had a problem since born, maybe it was thinner in the point it broke (only with the touch of finger)
but htc assistance sucks!
however I need a T5 screwdriver to open the phone but i can't find it

i changed the LCD but now the phone do not see the sim card, please help me!
I managed to splash some water on my Kaiser a couple of weeks ago and that stopped the touchscreen from responding. I sent it away to have the digitizer replaced but that didn't solve it, so the problem is somewhere else. The repair shop suggested that the motherboard would need replacing to get the touchscreen to work again. Apart from that the phone is in excellent condition and working fine, but Opera is no fun without the touchscreen so I've decided to put it on eBay to raise some funds to go towards another one of HTC's fine devices:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160293897460
I thought I'd mention it here since it might be very useful as a spare/test unit for a ROM chef or other developer who would probably use it remotely anyway. I put a very low start price on the listing so it might be a bargain.
(I hope it's okay to post this kind of thing. I couldn't find anything suggesting otherwise in the rules. I apologize profusely if it isn't welcome!)
hi i know that your answer will be a "hell, no!" but i will ask you, would you sell me the front cam of your varioIII? thank you so much
hell, no!
But seriously, I think the phone probably has more value in one piece so I'm not planning to break it up.
it's ok i just asked good luck.
Re
Why selling it at once? You can just replace the touch screen and digitizer for 40 dollars!!! Just because a shop guy said it cant be fixed it is for sale?
I put my tytn in the washingmachine, and everything works as well now, only the display is damaged. I will replace this myself. Will keep you informed!

Well, they did actually try replacing the digitizer and it didn't work, so it seems the problem is somewhere else.
I'd actually really like to buy this for my Mrs.
Hi all,
Today I'm writing this post with a very bad mood!
As I wrote in the title, yesterday due to an unfortunate case, I've destroyed the screen of my TyTN II.
The pda is still working fine but the screen is completely inoperative (see attached picture).
Can some one tell me what to do?
Tray to repair my pda is a good choice or is better to sell it?
Over the internet I've found spare part for self-made repair but they're not very cheap... about 120 euros.
The phone still have 2 year of warranty.
Please... help me in that choice!
Thank you very much!

The cheapest way, is to buy a screen and replace it your self. I've done also. You can find a screen for about $40 dollars on E-bay. And find a tool set too

Did you?
I have searched on ebay but I didn't find a screen for $40 dollars.
One of the most cheap I've found is for about:
30 euros for the screen
95 euros for the LCD
at least 125 euros ship tax excluded.
If you know a seller or shop where I can find and buy LCD+screen for 40 dollars please send a p.m.
Final note... I live in Italy...

I need to be sure that the article I'm going to buy can solve my problem it self because I understand that I have to change the LCD and the TouchScreen but I'm not sure that he sell me boot.
Moreover I'm in Italy and I have to know shipment price and time.
I really need to have back my TyTN II.

Tutorial video
As most people allready said it's very easy to replace the broken screen with a new one. I could find a replacement screen complete (lcd+digitizer) for 45 euro's on http://www.2dehands.nl but that's a dutch site so i think 120 for a new screen is a lot of money for an replacement screen.
I found a replacement screen for you at this link
I myself replaced a screen according an tutorial video which made it very easy. follow the video step by step and you will do fine. I have set the video online for you and anyone who needs it at YouTube. Anyone who needs the movie at itself please feel free to PM me. I hope you this will do for you.

I would say...
I would say just buy a screen from ebay and replace it yourself.
If anyone needs a screen (or other spare part) I have a tilt where the ribbon cable from the screen to the keyboard went.. Cosmetically the phone is a 9 out of 10 (very sharp) but I have no idea why the cable went.. One day it started having problems reading the sim card unless the phone was slid out and open... 2 days later it wouldnt; read sim cards and the screen would flicker... 2 days later it stopped reading SD cards and now the screen onl works when it is open... wifi & BT still seem to work fine... If interested, PM me an offer... I am located in Milwaukee, WI USA
Hey, I'm curious to know if anyone knows where to get replacement parts for the leo. I recently fell down a flight of stair and destroyed everything to do with my leo's outsides. The screen is trashed, and the case it bent. So, I need to replace it all. Any information would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

When in doubt, contact HTC (And doubt some more)
It's been a few days since I first started this thread. Lots of views but no replies. So... I wrote HTC about it (on their website) and their response was quite unbelievably stupid.
I mentioned that I live in China, and that I'd like to know how I could have it repaired. I put in the serial number as well. They replied by telling me that my phone was sold in France and that I should go back to France to get it repaired, otherwise I can go to Hong Kong or Taiwan to get it repaired.
I am really curious what kind of person would write such a silly reply. As though plane tickets cost the same as cab rides, and the flight is only a hop and a skip away.
I've written them back and clarified the kind of help I am looking for (An address to send my phone to, and a quote for parts and labour) here's hoping they don't misinterpret it again and send me more bs.
Not much point to my writing this other than to say, if you need to contact HTC with a similar query, assume you're writing to an idiot and be as absolutely clear as you can. You may even want to suggest to them what is common sense, and not assume that they're going to think of the most reasonable method themselves.

Hi,
Sorry to hear of your accident.
If your phone is that badly damaged why don't you just claim off your phone or house insurance and get a new one? Sounds like this is much less hassle than trying to get it repaired.
I am assuming you have some form of insurance for the phone?

Or send it to HTC repair. I heard it will cost like €150 to repair.
Have a nearly same question.
My HD2 screen one day have a big black dot at the center. I give my HD2 to the local HTC service, they answer me that, they cannot give me a warranty because it's broken by pressing from outside into a screen.
So, if replace a screen will cost about 230USD.
I take my HD2, come home, search on eBay for the screen replacement. It cost only 80USD. Maybe it's a solution for you too.
Hi,
where did you get the replacement screen for $80?
Thanks.

I've had the same problem too a couple of times. Fortunately both times the dot disappeared after pressing the screen gently in various places. What's disturbing, though, is that I've had the phone for a week only and gone to great lengths to ensure it has not been under any physical pressure (or psychological, for that matter ). Have anyone else noticed this; is this a weakness with the phone or have I just been unlucky?
u should take it to htc service !
I've just dropped mine and accidentally closed a door on it, so now mine is full of scratches too.
I'll take it back to the service center in Taiwan when I get back there, though rather annoyingly that won't be until March at the earliest If the HK service center can do it though, I can drop it in there in Feb ... I wonder if their pricing will be the same ...
Hey guys I dropped my HD2 too and the screen cracked. I noticed that there are repair kits at around 80 USD. Anyone has any video or tutorial on how to replace the screen with the repair kit? Or has anyone self-repaired the screen successfully?
I'll have the chance to either get a new HD2 (and sell the broken one), the Hero or perhaps the Nexus One so I want to see if it is possible to do a cheap fix and get a new toy.
