Hello xda members! The touchscreen from my XPERIA X1 won't respond to my touches anymore since I let it fall on the ground by accident >_<
And I don't have any receipt so that I can bring it back to the store because I didn't buy it (I found it on a parking lot when me, my dad, my mother and my sister entered the car after we ate at a pizzeria). So no receipt, no warranty.
Therefore I was thinking that maybe I could replace the screen (just the screen, found one on Marktplaats)
So could you guys give me some instructions on how to replace it?
Thanks!
Raymond
Sorry, you want help from us when you are not willing to help others? What you find in public is not yours. It belongs to someone else and with a bit of an effort can be returned to the rightful owner. Especially if its a smartphone that is very likely to contain some information about the owner. So it's up to you to decide what's right and what's wrong.
And by the way: Your story how you came into posession of the phone is generally weird. I don't want to accuse you of anything but you know those stories sound always the same Like it fell from a truck
Why am I not willing to help others? The police was notified of it and after 1.5 year nobody picked it up. After 1 year, you can keep it said the police.. And the story is real. It was my moms birthday, we ate at this pizzeria.. Walked back to the parking lot and as i walked to the door of the car my foot hit an object and when I looked i saw this leather case lying on the ground and I picked it up and found the mobile. But anyways can't you just even try to help me? You won't even help someone jeez weird ass forum >_<
OK. To to avoid beeing prejudiced against you I will try to help you. But keep in mind that I still find your story a bit weird

Hello,
I think HTC Kaiser's screen is too delicate. Mine got cracked yesterday very easily. I've had many PDA phones and it never happened to me.
Does anyone know where can I get a replacement screen?
Thanks,
Mario.
How did it crack, you pushed too hard when trying to use TouchFlo? it fell. Cause there has to be a reason that gives you the impression the screen is too delicate
ha ha, that sucks
Well, depending on how long you've had it, maybe it's covered under the 30 day warranty for return? I can't imagine how someone could break it, so it sounds like manufacturing defect to me??
Sound good to you??
Give it a try....
Let us know how it happened and if you get it fixed!
Good luck!
And to Doug2873... Don't make the guy feel worse than I'm sure he already does!!

do you have any other parts?
When I read certain posts in these forums, I wonder: So annoying online.... what it would be like to meet these people in real life? Although I guess everybody has one of these in their office...

Thank you all for your replies...I live in Mexico City and currently I'm in the US and there's no way of getting a replacement screen. HTC asked me to ship them the unit and they would charge between $170 and $350 USD for fixing it.
njbridges: I sent you a PM with my contact info.
I think we need a hard case for this device. Has anyone seen one?
Mine cracked because someone pushed me and I fell on it.
Thanks!

I think if SOMEONE fell on any PDA out there, the screen cracks is no wonmder. i think...
I read a Post where someone have cracked his PDA (i think mda3) because it feld off off the front window on his car and down to the gearbrick(?).. and it cracks the screen 2times.
I don´t have the feeling that the screen is more sensible as other screens...
Sorry for the engl. i´m from germany.

I too cracked my screen pretty traumatized about it, superiorgadgets is looking into it, but I will pm njbridges as well as a backup.
I'm unable to get the cracked screen out of the device, I have all the screwdrivers but I can't find a way of opening the Kaiser.
Any ideas?
Hope this helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337102
Mine just cracked today, for no reason. It has never been dropped or abused, it's in new condition, not a nick or scratch on it, I'm extremely careful. It was on the counter charging and I went to take it off the charger and saw the screen was cracked. I called ATT and they told me I'm SOL, it would be $498 to repair.
yeah if u are comfortable best bet do it yourself and save $300-$400
I found the part for about $100 from another member here. I'm tempted to just replace it and sell this phone. While I loved the 8525, I haven't been particularly happy with the 8925. Maybe it would be better with newer firmware, but I won't know now unless I replace the screen. I wonder what it's worth for parts......
Mine has never been dropped, but after reading how easy is to break it I'm really concerned...
I have dropped my old 8125 like 10 times and it's still working like the first day...
I just ordered the replacement screen from njbridges today. I'll post after I've received the parts and add my 2 cents. If anybody is going to break something in this replacement process, it will be me. I'm completely inept at using tools. I can barely even change the batteries in my kids' toys.
I have a broken XDA Orbit / Artemis gathering dust.
Any offer considered.
Here's the extent of the damage:
Screen broke / cracked as can happen. So I ordered a replacement screen from eBay. Screen arrived, and I tried to fit it myself. Worked for about 30 seconds and then stopped working. As I had already spent my evening trying to open the damn thing up to fit the screen I gave up there.
I have no idea if it will ever work again, but someone out there may wish to give it a go. It has not been water damaged or anything, so I would guess it all works except the screen - which, although I couldn't get it to work, may also work fine if you know what you're doing.
Either reply here or PM me.
Thanks
HPJ
how much you looking for?
20 quid to send it to me?
Hi Guys,
I've had quite a few PM's asking me how much I want for it....easy answer to that is as much as possible
Seriously though, I have no idea, so whatever you want to offer.
Therefore I'll send the phone to the highest bidder. I hope that seems fair to those interested.
Please PM with your offer or put it in this thread. 'Auction' closes midday Wednesday (23rd).
Thanks
HPJ
my girlfriend threw my phone down and now the track wheel won't work and it won't stay in sleep mode. I need a little info on what tells the tilt when to come out of sleep mode. then I will need a guide to take it apart . I can find the guide on my own but if someone has a link please post for me because I will not attemt untill I can speak with someone who knows how it works. the phone was threw down and hit on the upper left corner. It still seems to work other than it looks like crap because I have to take it apart and repair the clips that hold it all together. Thank you to anyone trying to help .

Warn me when your girlfriend is in my area, ill move into the bunker!
edit; might be worth trying a warrenty repair first (say it just stopped workign randomly?), opening the kaiser up voids the warrenty straight away.

Might be smart to change a girlfriend when you'll sort out your phone
thanks for the link. LoL. she threw it because she was trying to snatch it away from me. when she pulled it away from me sh e also hit herself in the eye. she has a black eye from hell. that thin g is like a brick! I have no warrenty so I don't have to worry bout the void. and as for the girlfriend , she cut the **** cuz she can 't live w/o me and knows who daddy is. Love is a strange thing. By the way, if throwen properly, the tilt can withstand one hell of a wap. she is offering to pay for a new case, I just gotta find one. anyone know HTC's # ?
Check the folks at www.ppctechs.com
They sell parts, do repairs, etc. Work is excellent, quick and returned within a few days. PRICES ARE GOOD!
Was your phone in the pocket? If so, then hang onto her.
I cracked my screen so I decided to order a new one and fix it myself, while in the process I accidentally tore the top flex circuit board and now I can't find spare parts other than screens anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get some or have one that is broken I am willing to pay ...
Hate when **** like that happens. . . try to fix something and something doesn't go right.
Not sure where you can get the parts you're looking for, but wanted to give props to you for taking the initiative to try and fix it yourself. Alot of people will be like "that's what you get for not just sending it back to HTC and having them fix it." How're you going to appreciate the intricacies of something if you don't take the occasional risk like this?
Hope you find what you're looking for.
Ps. Have you looked at http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp to see if there's anything you could repurpose to work?
Ha yea, I am definitely a DIY-er. Unfortunately this is a risk I knew I was taking heading into it, wasn't too worried though because I have fixed a lot of cell phones in the past, just got a little too careless with prying open with a flat head screw driver, it slipped and cut right into the flex circuit board. Should have been a little more careful haha. New screen looks great though! Now only if I could get it to power on! Of course HTC tells me it will cost up to $300 to send it to them to fix it.

Not sure exactly, but is this what you are looking for? http://cnn.cn/shop/google-nexus-digitizer-p-8252.html
Yea I tried that number and also that lunacommerce site is located in China, no prices on their website, no way to purchase anything other than contacting them first (which I have tried to no avail...). You would think some online store somewhere would have started selling spare refurbished parts. Whatever, guess I will have to pay HTC to fix it, kinda sucky.
If you find somewhere that can help you, please post back. I just had a similar experience, replaced the digitizer and the display wouldn't work afterwards. Figured I had damaged the AMOLED, so purchased another. Problem still persisted.
I've decided that I must have damaged the AMOLED connector on the logic board.
The upside is I can still use the phone when connected to a PC and using Android Screen Monitor.
So now I've ordered another Nexus One, I find it hard to get by without my daily Android.... it became an expensive drop of the phone.

No that is what I replaced in the first place. I am looking for the Logic Board. I will keep searching and update this thread if I ever figure it out. Going on 3 days without a phone and only being able to use Google Voice via my computer is starting to drive me insane!
So my latest of stupid fails entailed the attempt repair of my water damaged E6533 (this was because I decided to take it into a sensory deprivation tank. Which included pounds of epsom salts ouch). I actually took amazing care of this phone and it was in perfect condition and I was excited to use these forums to flash to my hearts content. ANYWAYS I tried drying the board as this happened in August and I left it powered off for approx 1 week in the sun, with more salts. At this point I was nearly sick to my stomach because of my stupid move for one of my most prized possessions. But somehow I kept going, I attempted to boot the phone again but alas no go, I had really fudged this this as salt is more conductive regardless of IP68 this is extreme salt I am such a [email protected]$$ I didn't want to admit it until now. But in hinds site it worked for the 2 hours I was in the salt water. Then for 10 minutes after. I then noticed it triggering touches all over the screen. Disregarding my own advice to everyone else I know I did the stupid thing at this point. I tried to turn it on even though it just shut itself off. It did and shut off again during bootup. I gulped as this birthday gift from a friend was turning out to be a "worst case scenario" type of ordeal. Next I kept going like a troubled child again and again I tried. Because in my mind I couldn't imagine how anything could have migrated into the phone. But it was to late ........
BECAUSE if anyone knows how these XPERIA repairs tend to pan out during display damage, you get the picture. Sorry to be so cryptic but for those of you who havn't had the misfortune or need to repair a broken display (*I assume the most broken physical feature of this phone but also any electronic device for that matter.) you may not be aware that the phone has fuse on the mainboard which during display malfunction clearly blows. Replacement of this fuse requires 1) a schematic 2) advanced soldiering knowledge and techneque 3) time 4) bravery ... so on . As it is quite small and actually requires prescission soldiering equipment (here's my fail, failure to use and therefore aquire the proper tool for the job). Yes my dumba$$ory didn't stop at epsom pools of waterdamage but a soldiering technique regardless how good shouldn't have been attempted here. Although I did manage to bridge the fuse to see that YES INDEED the screen came back when bridged and it continued booting. Something prevented me from getting my soldier bridge to actually stay attached so eventually I broke an adjasent resistor. WELL good luck fixing that !!?
But for me I have seen this before. With my Z2 last year. I loved that phone but despite the love Mei case it smashed on the pavement. Screen replacement resulted in fuse replacement. WHICH in turn resulted in a SUCCESS followed by failure short after.
Another friends Xperia Z, same thing : LCD - > FUSE -> in this case I tried AliBaba'ing the board. Which was the ONLY place I could source one '.' With the new board the GPU seemed to have damaged video memory as the screen was getting serious interferance and shaking everywhere. Putting the original board in the same position resulted in no backlight but no shaky image. DOA part ...
SO ALAS
I HAVE a graveyard of Z , Z2 , Z3+ dual and extra parts ... Each time I try Xperia I get hella burned trying my luck fixing a phone I would love to be loving right now. If only I could only figure out a way to fix the lot I would in a heart beat. But most places online seem to be more pricy than the original or unreasonable. <shrug.> :crying::silly:
Buy another phone, this one isn't worth it, believe me, stop wasting money effort and time.
Best advice I can give you

Perhaps your right but seeing as I am on a students income. I would love to fix resell a couple. Is there a place that I can go ?

Well there are Sony shops where you can take them but it'll cost a fortune and most of the time they doesn't have the parts so, maybe you should sell them as repairing parts on the Internet and get a little juice of them
