[Q] Display Glass and Touch Screen

Well the problem is that, I wanted to fix my HTC HD2 on my own, the glass broke, a day or two ago, so I started to carefully get it out, and when I got it out i realized i broke the flat connection thingy to the touch, therfore I wanted to hear if this was the right thing to buy, I took out the glass, and the black'ish plastic right behind the glass, so is this the right thing to buy or not?
mytrendyphone . com/shop/htc-hd2-display-22940p.html if it is not the right thing to buy, then please tell me what is the right thing to buy, I live in denmark, so a place the is shippin to denmark would be nizzle

Hi!
I'll try to help in case you havn't found a solution yet
I recently had a similar problem. I also broke my digitizer (touch screen, which sits ontop of the actual LCD) and needed a repalcement.
If i understood your post correctly then you broke the flex cable (i think it was flex) which connected the digitizer to the actual LCD. If so, then yes, your link is correct, however, the digitizer cable is SOLDERED to the LCD end (at least for the Europe models, i heard there was a "clip in" version for US models), therefore, if you aren't an experienced solderer (which i wasn't) or you don't know anyone who is extreamly good at it i recommend you buy a full set (LCD + digitizer). Search eBay for "LCD Display Screen + Digitizer for HTC HD2 HD II 2 Leo"
I ordered the same one & installed it, however, be careful when (dis)assembling the phone, especially when installing the LCD connector to the motherboard, i got it wrong the 1st time which resulted in the colors not to display correctly.
Hope this helps

[Q] Touch Screen & LCD Screen Broken (Need replacement suggestions)

My HTC Hero has a broken touch screen and LCD screen.
Can anyone suggest a cheap place to get them from?
And if anyone is wondering how it broke, I ran it over with my van.
Not intentionally of course.
Phone is from Alltel so it would be $95 to claim it on insurance
Also does anyone have any suggestions what I can put on the screen until I can replace it? It's rough on the fingers to use because of the cracks.

EBAY
Yup eBay has every spare part you would want for your Hero. I just ordered a digitizer yesterday (thats your screen), and that all you need to replace if behind the broken digitizer is a clear picture on your lcd.

This has happened to me twice. I got replacement on ebay for 30 dollars. It includes the whole front panel, touch screen digitizer, and lcd screen. It took me 5 minutes to replace. Just a couple of screws and a connector. Easy Peasy!

I dropped my hero yesterday as well. There was no damage to the screen/ LCD but there are a few scratches to the body. Are there replacements for that as well?

Supposedly sprint will fix any physical damages to the phone, as long as it still works.
supposed to do it for $35 in store without the $7 protection plan.

I haven't tried it, so let us know if they will fix it.

I was quoted $35 by two different sprint stores to replace my screen. Still haven't fixed it yet, it is only a small crack in the corner and doesn't bug me that much.

Put regular tape over it
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-HERO-OEM-LC...919428?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f057b8004
I bought that before..include LCD, Digitizer, and Front Bezel. The bezel was scuffed up and had a few nicks but the digitizer and LCD were in perfect condition.

Don't try that at home
Based on personal experience
I strongly advise against attempting a DIY screen replacement.
Here's my sad story:
1) I dropped my poor little hero, then managed to step on it screen down, completely scratching the entire screen surface.
2) I went on eBay and spent about $40 for a replacement screen/digitizer kit.
3) The kit arrived 10 days later. Very nice package - appeared to be high quality.
4) I followed the directions to the letter. (fwiw I'm generally pretty skilled at this sort of repair stuff, and have repaired other phones and computers with good results).
5) My little hero is no more. It works like crap. None of the buttons work correctly. The trackball no longer works consistently. It's essentially unusable (except maybe as a backup storage device).
If any good can come of this, perhaps it will be that others will read my sad tale and avoid a similar fate!
Yours,
Jim

When you stepped on it it probably damaged the motherboard or some other part because the digitizer doesn't really have anything to do with the trackball.

You do have to make sure the trackball housing is inserted correctly in the new bezel. Also, do not overtighten the screws on the bottom or the buttons work wonky. I just tightened them a little, checked, and made sure I didn't over tighten.

Razr i Screen replacement

I've broken my phone screen today, from a small drop, due to it being out of warranty, i need to purchase a replacement, though i cant find it anywhere.
Its not the LCD, just the first layer
Preferably from the UK but i dont mind ordering from abroad
By the way, this is my first post, Could've been slightly more positive
Thanks in advance
Jay

unfortunatelly for us, you need to replace the entire digitizer/lcd assembly, because they are glued together

Sorry to hear about the tragedy.
I also dropped mine but I only ruined the nice aluminum bezel ...
However, in search for replacement parts I came across the goodies below:
Full screen + digitizer: http://www.etradesupply.com/motorola-razr-i-xt890-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly.html
Bezel only: http://www.etradesupply.com/motorola-razr-i-xt890-front-housing.html
And, of course, you can browse for more ...
I could not fond the outer glass for Razr I but I found it for RazrM ... and it is just a glass, on an identical casing ... http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-motorola-droid-razr-m-4g-lte-xt907-glass-lens.html (out of stock for now).

HD2 T-Mobile US (1GB) - LCD+Digitizer GLASS Replacement Part

Hi to all,
Before you ask, yes!, I did use the search and found some related posts to my issue, but a little outdated and I read so many things that I think I'm more confused.
My HD2 works without problems with the broken screen...but unless i have tape on it, i I'll cut my fingers...so after almost a year i decided it's time to repair it!
For that, I WANT to buy an LCD+Digitizer Glass Replacement (because i hear some are made of plastic). Because there are at least 3 different versions (so i heard) of HD2 LCD and hundreds of listings on ebay, I'm afraid to buy the wrong part.
Correct me if I'm mistaken:
There are 2 types of connection, solder or socket type. Mine is definitely socket (60H00300), correct?
Every socket version (60H00300) is the one that the LCD is better, right?
If i purchase any LCD+Digitizer combo that states as "for HD2 T-Mobile T8585 solderless/version 2/socket" will it be ok? Even without the T-Mobile logo on top? ...I ask this because I know for a fact that the US T-Mobile version has a slightly larger screen/digitizer!
Plus, I would also appreciate if someone pointed out an original screen replacement (meaning scratch resistance glass digitizer) that i could buy with confidence! :highfive:
Here's my sad HD2...i had to put tape on it, or the top right corner would fall in pieces..

Your TMOUS LCD & Digitizer is 100% same size as any other model HD2.
size difference is in the casing below the buttons & is about 1.5mm to allow for different antenna setup on mainboard.
Any 300 type will fit & work fine but you are indeed correct in assuming issues on quality & materials used.
Buying complete LCD/Digitizer does not mean you will get better quality parts & to be honest it maybe worse as the quality of tape used on some of these is poor.
If your LCD is fine I would make the effort to remove the Digitizer & thus just replace digitizer.
Can be done by warming it up with a quality hair-dryer & using a few new razor blades to loosen the bond, time & care is the key here.
Tapes for rebuild can be found on eBay from poland with worldwide shipping.
Digitizer for TMOUS is this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230897875502?
You would be advised to use a film on lens as even the glass ones can scratch as not as hard as original.
Trying to find original is a pain & high cost for possibly no gain ...
Most important part is learning good repair steps & using good care when stripping & rebuilding as without that a good or poor quality digitizer will be just as useful as a beer mat.

The main reason for me to buy the LCD+Digitizer is that i cant afford to be without my HD2 for more than a couple of days...and if I mess up ending the relationship between the LCD and its digitizer....I may end up with two (or three) broken "hearts"!
I'll risk in buying an LCD+Glass Digitizer "300 type" (+film protector) and then attempt to recover the original LCD for a "future repair" as you suggest!
Thank you for your reply, it really answered my issues! (I pushed the thanks button...but for some unknown reason to me it didn't work )

Good luck, hope it works out fine ...

hi
my display was broken, but have worked for a year or so.
now it is frozen/ unresponsive and i have purchased a full display.
just found a very easy way to replace the whole display in just 3 minutes by accessing it from the front side..
i am not yet allowed to post the link, but if you google this
IMPEXTROM CAMBIAR TROCAR DISPLAY HTC HD2
you will see the 3 minutes video
but it seems too easy to be possible ...
any hints?
thanx &cheers

That been set up for the video as you can see it been off before & the chassis the lcd is bonded to is clean of all bonding tape :-/
Also original has signal interference tape runing down sides across all 3 layers.
also if you heat the front first thing to seperate is the digi from LCD as the lcd to mid chassis is a strong bond.
Best way is popping them out of rear cover, fitting a pre built lcd/digitizer is not hard, just use quality adhesive to hold lcd to centre chassis & buy pre cut black foam tape for the top & bottom digi glass edges or rebuild is next to pointless without this done well.
I've done a good 30 odd HD2 screen & mainboards & no way I could do it to my standard via that video.

Replacing broken screen/digitizer

Guys,
I broke my screen, the LCD is good but the digitizer doesn't work. Aparently, this phone works differently from olders phones in which you can replace only the digitizer, but not this one since are fused together.
My question are:
Where can I buy one that WILL work? (i bought one in ebay and was faulty)
Will any LG G2 screen fit the VS980 (D805, D802, etc)?
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks!

If you haven't already got one, you can get it at repairsuniverse - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/lg-g2-lcd-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement-black-verizon.html
The repair is a little delicate in that you have to completely disassemble the phone and pry the screen out. You don't need a proper heat gun, a hair dryer will work just fine. One problem to be aware of: the screen really needs to fit flush against things otherwise the proximity sensor (top left of screen) will think that something is near it all the time and will make the screen turn off and you'll struggle to get it on again. They supply you with double-sided tape and it sorta-kinda works if you're careful. Pro tip: don't do what I did and unseat the newly-installed screen without heating it - you'll damage the screen. Also, superglue seems to do bad things to the screen. I now have a fully functioning digitizer with a screen that looks like hell. YMMV.

I am also in the same boat, having dropped it this past weekend. LCD works, not digitizer.
Any thoughts on replacing just the digitizer/glass vs. getting the whole assembly with the LCD? Seems significantly more dificult, considering the heat gun/glue assembly and only about a $30 difference between the two methods based on ebay prices.

Any suggestions on getting this LCD vs. one from ebay that is also pre-attached to the frame and comes with tools? They seem identical otherwise.

Hi,
I have some experience since I replaced twice mine lol xD
There're no good quality screens (they are all copies, no OEM screens) and all 3 that I got from 3 differentes vendors suffers from yellowish spot on the lower left corner (its not my phone that has an issue, one screen actually was a phone that I bought on ebay and had the screen replaced and still suffered from that) and others from misalignment. Here's a pic that I had to send to an ebay seller to prove them that their screens were ****:
http://i62.tinypic.com/15mn1w1.jpg
And got the money back at least.
The digitizer and the lcd are fused, so if you try with digitizer/glass and screen apart, you'll have to buy optical glue in order to fuse them, if not you'll end up with two things glued together that looks awful.
If you go with the whole assembly, its luck to have one that works, so you'll have to be patient and asume that you may receive an awful screen. Luckly, ebay protect you, so if you're not in a hurry you can test until you grab the working one.
Any question if I can help, just le met know.
