Hey gang,
Accidentally dropped my N1 on the ground before I got my cover on it =( glass is fine and not scratched but the front faceplate has a few scratches and a small dent...I have email HTC/google but no response...is there spare parts that can be ordered anywhere for it? I don't know if its even possible to replace it because the front faceplate might be attached to the glass...your thoughts please?
THANKS!

I will soon be opening up my phone (T-mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition) to replace the glass screen with a new one ordered online. I've never even opened the phone before and was wondering if someone has performed this operation before. I would really appreciate any pointers, tricks, cautions, pictures, etc.
Thanks.
lawrence... where did u get the replacement??
i wonder if they got replacement cases! i chiped mine
The company I bought the screen from was GetHighTech, Inc, in California. By coincidence, they are about an hour's drive away from my home.
They only sell the glass screen and high capacity battery replacements. The screen comes with absolutely no documentation or instructions. I just got it a few minutes ago.
just wanted to see if you had any luck with the changeout.
Screen replaced successfully: observations
It was a tricky operation, but I finally managed to replace my broken touch screen. And the patient is alive, and only a little worse off for the experience.
I was held back for a week until I could get the right size torx screwdrivers to remove the back cover. Once inside, it was a very very tricky process slicing off the broken screen with a razor blade. It was glued to the lcd display. This would have been hard even if the screen was not shattered. Definitely needed goggles to protect against flying splinters of glass. I used cotton swabs and 99% alcohol to clean the glass dust off the glue around the edges of the lcd, then I put the new screen on while that residual gum was still a bit tacky.
There was a very thin existing plastic cover over the lcd in between the glass touch screen and the rest of the lcd. Since it did not come off with the glass, I left it in place even though it had a couple of small scratches from contact with the broken glass. It seems like it was there to keep dust off the lcd or something like that.
This was my first time inside the phone. I noticed that replacing the whole LCD component would have been a trivial task by comparision to replacing the glass alone. And even easier would have been adding a new battery.

I replaced my touchscreen a few weeks ago. Like Lawrence said it's a little tricky and you need to be patient.
I bought my touchscreen from www.pdasmart.com/pdaphone.htm for $75 and they gave great instructions.
thank you for your kind answer
hmmm, seems like it is nice to live in US ... where all the things for XDA are almost readily available :wink:

Protective Acryclic Cover over the Digitizer
I have an odd problem. I have an SX56 with a broken protective cover. The protective cover is the acrylic sheet that sits between the digitizer and the outside world. Everything else works fine including the digitizer. I have found every replacement part except that cover. I've even tried local plastic stores. They don't carry the proper thickness (0.125mm).
Any thoughts or sources besides sending it in for a $200 repair?
My camera lens has cracked. I know it can be peeled off, but I want to try to find a replacement. Does anyone know where I could order this part to put it back on myself? Ive done quite a bit of looking on google, and havent found anything solid.
Thanks!
OEM HTC Droid Incredible Camera $22.99
Only problem is it looks like you have to buy a minimum of 3.. cheap enough that you could probably sell the other 2 on Ebay or to someone on here who wants a spare..
If you look at the other cameras they sell, they are the photo units themselves, not the lens. I would say 22 bucks is more likely the price for the camera unit. Very nice find though!
Maybe you can call them and findout if they info on that.. odd that they wouldnt have the lens when they have almost everything else..

A coworker of mine had his lens cover "push in" to the housing and VZW replaced it for him.
Well I don't have insurance, and the lens is cracked, not just pushed in.
He didn't have insurance either...
What do you have to lose by calling VZW and asking them? A wasted 5 minutes?
they even replaced my bricked phone for free with overnight shipping......
I got the red development cover off EBay. It came with a new back plate that has red buttons and a silver camera ring.
I'm not sure if I'm going to try replacing it or not... But would have an extra lens cover if I decide not to.
If it has the lens and all still in it I will gladly paypal ya for it.
Looks like that globaldirect place added a part.. this coujld be it if you are still looking for it.
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-Droid-Incredible-Camera-Bezel-p/htc738845.htm
That looks to be the part. I'm ordering 2 and will update with what they are exactly.
can you update with what that part is exactly? i'm thinking about trying to change mine out and would be nice to know exactly what i'm getting before ordering. i e-mailed them but haven't gotten a response yet...
mainly i'm interested in knowing does it come with the glass too, or is it just the bezel?
Anyone find a camera lens cover glass part yet?
Got the lenses in finally. Sorry it took so long, I was out of town on business for a bit. The glass lenses are included with the bezels, but there is no foam bumper like the stock lens. I keep my phone in the Speck case so that really isnt an issue. The lenses are protected by a plastic film which was nice. If anyone has any questions let me know. One concern i do have is glass seems to be off center on one of the bezels i received. I am going to contact them about that.
Any updates? Mine fell off but the camera still functions well. As much as I love the phone, I'm beginning to see just how cheap it is.
it seem like my DINC camera lens are coming offing too. if i pressed little bit harder, it will popped right inside.....
I have a loose lens, as well...
Love the Dinc...hopefully the dinc2 will be a little better quality...
If you have a tiny bit of skill you can make one out of any thin piece of clear plastic. Grab an old boombox or phone or something you don't use anymore with clear plastic and then grab your file and get to work. Free fix.
hi everyone so i managed to break my hd2s screen yeah i know it sucks.. right now im in the process of changing the digitizer for a new one i bought off of ebay.. i took the phone apart that was pretty simple but while doing so i removed many glue copper like stickers and also adhesive strips specially the one holding the digitizer and the lcd together.. my question is if anybody knows where i can buy the adhesive strips.. and most important the cooper like tape since it was covering the sides and the back part where the battery goes.. has anyone been successful at fixing their broken hd2 and is the copper-like tape important.. or can i just use some regular hot temperature resistant tape? well thanks in advance for the help
I know this doesn't really help you with your situation in any way but. I broke mine as well, and i just decided to let the insurance company handle it. I know it's expensive 130$ compared to the 50$ you could buy a new screen for. But they send you a brand new sealed in box phone, next day air shipping. I've only seen one video on how to replace the glass, and it was for the euro one, and it required, basically, completely disassembling the entire phone.
Sorry for the non-help. Just my .02c
i broke the one on my blackstone bought one off ebay pretty cheap but i couldn't put it together ,i ended up paying $50 get it installed the right way
hi,
I have a crack line on my Samsung Captivate screen and I've been researching on how to replace the front lens without replacing the entire LCD assembly because to be fair the LCD is still good and all that needs replacing is the front glass.
Anyone seen anything or know anything about disassembling the LCD module?
i believe its all one unit glued together. thats why none of the ATT boys have been able to remove or scratch off the ATT logo
75 to 139 bucks on ebay
but like glue can be seperated right? Like has anyone tried giving it the heatgun treatment? I'd do mine but I dont have a replacement yet so I don't dare try
not recommended, with that kind of heat the plastic wraps and it will not fit anymore, change the whole screen, its the easiest way
well... that pretty much kills it...... i'll most prob buy a replacement LCD. But I am genuinely curious about it and I guess when the new AMOLED arrives I guess I'll have something to play around with......
anyone tried dissolving the glue?
well I smashed my lens on front of my screen and I notice that they sell the lens only on ebay now, has anyone found a way to check the lens only yet?
So i picked up a Nexus S i9020T for a price that was steal in any working condition. The screen on it is great, no scratches and I've read the thread regarding the battery door and I'm going to order the rear door from Samsung under a warranty replacement for $16.
That leaves me with the front housing ring around the screen... I see that iFixit's tear down shows them using a heat gun at that step. Is the display connected to the front housing ring with adhesive? For showing a picture of using a heat gun they were mum on exactly what it was needed to pull apart. If it is the ring connecting to the screen, will I lose all adhesive to the old ring by pulling these two apart?
Here's a link to the part below on Global Parts Direct. I'm probably going to replace the back plate with the camera lense too but that seemed self explanatory.
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Nexus-S-GT-I9020T-Front-Housing-p/smsng6098620.htm
I could avoid all of this via a case but I'm just not a case type of guy...
I can't really help with your question but where can you find the back piece with camera lense? I've scratched the ring around the camera lense and was trying to find a replacement.

Check the link to the website above, Global Direct parts has the midplate with and without the lense. I didn't look close enough to see if they had just the lense. They seem to be on some sort of holiday and aren't shipping right now but judging from the verbage on their website they'll be back up and running in a few weeks.
Keep the answers coming folks... Surely I'm not the only person that has "refurbed" a scratched front housing ring.
Well I ordered the back from Samsung as a "warranty" replacement. So does anyone know if theres another place other than Global Direct Parts that has the front ring? I don't see any parts available at CNN.CN or Truesupplier.com
And again if anyone knows what the glue situation is going to be like, I'd love to get some feedback on that.
Get ready for the pain of a lifetime. I replaced the front bezel on a galaxy s (they're glued the exact same way) and it is an absolutely terrible experience. I wish you the best of luck because I've seen many people crack the screen while doing so.

So how did those people reattach the screen to the bezel?
Yeah I also been wondering the same thing and from my reseach I think that its not a strong glue but rather a adhesive thats not very strong. A hair dryer on a low setting will do the samething in helping to separating the parts. You can always contact the people at ifixit to find out how it is really attach.

please, please with sugar on top
anyway - I wanna replace the bezel too...but havent found anything. let's keep eachother up to date here.
I work at a service and repair store and already tore mine open. The bezel around the screen is the scariest part. Its easy tho, just use a guitar pick and go all the way around the ring. It just snaps in. may help to take the back of the phone off while your doing it.

Its attached with a fairly mild adhesive, I got the screen/bezel apart on my i9023 without using any heat just leveraging it off a little at a time. If I was going to do it again I would use a little heat.
When I replaced my screen all the adhesive stuck to the screen not the bezel. I used a heat gun on low heat to transfer it over to the new screen. It worked but I couldnt get it all over. If you are going to heat it I would recommend it being fairly low, not hot enough to burn your hand.
I bought a replacement front bezel for an i9020T from global direct a few months ago hoping that it would fit my i9023. It doesn't. All yours if you pay postage, Im in Australia.

Did you received the battery door already? Is it the NFC version?
Hi, do you still have this part of Nexus S 9020?
