Is this all i need to replace cracked screen?

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.

Replacement screen?

Hey there.
I got "faulty" Diamond from a shop. It has one minor issue with screen. They told me that glass broke on the screen and now the screen has two small scratches.
So, where can I buy replacement display/screen for my Diamond and is it easy to change? I asked from a local repair and they told it would cost something like 250€/300$. I tought it's a little bit high prize so I was thinking if you guys could help me out.

Thanks alot. That is really a decent prize.
Has anyone of you guys changed HTC Diamond screen? Is it a big operation?

Never done it to a diamond.
If I look @ the service manual I hate to say: yes, you'd have to take some time, there are a lot of steps.
But it's doable, just take your time, read the service manual first to know what to expect.
Then carefully take all the steps in the manual to disassemble the device.
replace the screen, and re-assemble according to the service manual.
I wish you good luck!
BTW You could also buy an extra digitiser (touchpad) for if the touchscreen is damaged.

maybe this will help you http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-digitizer-p-2128.html

Hi be very carefull with the screen , i just changed my lcd at a HTC service center, the screen is composed by 3 parts the digitizer (touch screen), lcd display, and the front cover ( the metal that you see around the screen), all this parts are changed in one piece, you cannot change only the touch screen or the lcd because, it can be done without damaging the lcd. Dont buy from ebay only the touch screen because you wil and up breaking your phone.
Ps the screen ( front cover, touch screen, lcd display) cost me 110 euro.
Here are some pictures of my old screen.

Thank you all, for your replies. I've ordered the parts and should get those by the start of next week. I think I'll manage to do it, didn't seem to be that hard.
Thanks again.

Were you sucessful changing the digitizer?
Did you changed only the digitizer or the lcd-screen with the digitizer, because lucian777 said thats only possible to change the complete part?

Google in Ebay. I saw an offer for 45 €. Regards

Spare digitizers on ebay... are the good?

Hello, since the screen (digitizer) has several annoying scratches I want to change it. I've searched on ebay and I've seen many cheap sellers for hongkong or china... Are those items as good as the original ones?

I purchased a new lcd and digitizer for my touch pro from ebay. I know its for a different phone but i cant see any difference between the diamond and touch pro other than the screen shape. (i have also had a diamond) It was £25 for the pair of them
To be totaly honest i cant tell the difference from the original. The touch works perfectly. The lcd screen is also equally as good.
As i tip i would get the digitizer and lcd as one unit, i have replaced several digitzers and lcd screens on alot of phones and it can be tricky seperating the 2. For the few extra quid in my opinion its not worth the hassle, or the risk of damaging one.

Thank you for the advice

eBay Screens are good IMO
I have purchased a couple of Digiter / Screen combos from eBay. So far I have not had a problem with any of them. One that I had ordered was from New York {HP iPaq}, & the other I ordered was from HK {T-Wing/Herald}. I just bought a used Diamond & it has a small scratch on the screen. This is annoying the Hell outta me so, I looked on eBay at screens. I usually try to find a true OEM replacement. I think that I found that @ this eBay page: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260468938303&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT . This is the best deal that I have been able to find. I know you're not in the US but maybe this helps anyway.

I bought a digitizer with lcd from ebay. The seller is from china or HK. The digitizer working good but the lcd quality abit lousy. display kinda dark compared to the original lcd. perhaps the pixel not same as the ori.
Anyway, if you think of just getting the digitizer, shud be fine. however you must be assure that you can replace it as it kinda difficult to change. unless you very confident on you soldering skill.

G1 Replacement Screen?

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

Source for replacement screens?

Checking to see if anyone knows of or has a source (other than eBay) for screen replacements for the focus. I've got a badly cracked screen that I'd like to replace, but samsung direct wants $156 and the cheapest on ebay is $98.xx coming from overseas. Everyone I found via google is in the $120's give or take now as well.
Kindof kicking myself for not picking one up when I had the 10% off ebay coupon and there were US sources at $98.

Just bought 2 screens from a wholesaler. Installed one and its working great. Need sim card replacement tray now. Can't find them anywhere. If anyone has a link please let me know.

I'd like to know where you got the screens too.

www.wholesalegadgetparts.com, US wholesaler, $99.00 bucks, BBB rated etc... I just ordered one.

******** UPDATE, this seller is legit. Fast shipping, and the new digitizer/screen is flawless.

How about some info on disassembly and replacement?

So, if your 2 year old is like mine, he's quite efficient at shattering your phone's screen. SO, I went online and found a replacement screen and set sbout installing it myself. I make no claim at any sort of electrical know-how... Damn it Jim, I'm a med student not an electrician. But I do enjoy my gadgets. Anyway, I went online and found some you-tube videos and successfully changed out the screen! Woo-Hoo! I used a hybrid of the two videos as one of them seemed a little too, much but it had a good rebuild sequence.
The first video has a good description of how to remove the screen (I didn't use the hair dryier and it worked just fine), and the second shows how to put it back. The second video should also be good to show how to replace other thinsg (camera, etc.).

I hope this helps people out there make their own replacements a success!

I have a cracked glass, the LCD and digitizer are fine. I have found someone that sells the outer glass for $16. My question is if I can get the digitizer off the old glass and onto the new one.
I honestly don't want to spend $100 on a screen replacement when I can buy a slightly used one for $150...

On ebay is 12dlls the glass, somebody told me that they fix it in a mall were i am from (Mexico) they heat the screen to disolve the glue but i'm not sure about this. The total of the price should be like 35dlls the replacement.
