Broken Glass

The inevitable has happened and I dropped my HD2 and now the glass is smashed into pieces.. the touch screen still works and the lcd looks fine underneath. A couple of questions;
Wheres the best place to buy the replacement parts?
Do I need to just replace the glass or the whole screen?
Is it a difficult job to replace it? the iphone was a bugger to do.

Hi,
I have got the same problem, always carefull and than in a split second it slips out of your hand. With me the "touch" still functioned but the glass was shattered.
I called HTC (in Holland), they have a service center where they can repair it and get full warranty back. It is a very expensive joke (I got a quotation of 267,50 Euro).
I could have my HD repaired by a non-htc company, but they did not give any guarantees. Prices were the same...
I heard that it is possible to only replace the glass, but almost always the digitizer is also (partly) defect. And if not then the chance of braking the digitizer is very big when you try to seperate it from the glass.
I had a lot of calls with my insurance company (no phone insurance) and finally they agreed to pay for the damages.
I hope this helpes a bit, good luck
Regards

[Q] Replacing digitizer on I9000

Hi, the other day I dropped my Galaxy S I9000 on the concrete and shattered the digitizer. The screen still works alright and the touch portion of the screen still works 100%, but there's a few big cracks in the screen.
Optus want to charge me $150+ (I don't have insurance on it plus it's "out of warranty" because I flashed 2.2 on it) while a repairman in Melbourne quoted $150 neat (but couldn't do it because their main tech was away). I've seen a few sellers on eBay selling these parts for $99 with a mini toolkit but I'm not sure if they are the Super AMOLED that is in the original phone or just an LCD screen that may or may not have the same resolution or quality
Has anyone replaced the screen on an I9000? From what I can gather, the screen and the digitizer are one so you can't buy a digitizer only. I've also seen that the connecting ribbon on the phone is glued into place and you must be very careful when removing it.
Any thoughts are welcome. I can still use the phone just fine, but I don't want to risk any further damage to the screen.

digitizer only available here
I had the same problem. Found this but haven't had it delivered or tried to fix it yet. You managed to find/fit one yet? I'm worried that it will be had to separate the screen and digitizer, will let you know how i get on.

[Q] Smashed Glass

Hello,
I dropped my i9000 Yesterday, and unfortunately the glass over the navigation buttons smashed (it is still fully functional and the screen is not broken)
is it possible just to replace the outer glass, and if so how much would it cost?
cheers

At work checking XDA lol.
you can replace the just the Glass with skill and luck but would void the warranty as the ebay part would be a fake.
As the offical part is most of the phone you only save the mainboard really.
If your in blackpool or by blackpool PM me and im sure we can sort something out.

Hey,
I did the same thing, got a replacement off ebay... the install isnt too bad... you just have to be SUPER SLOW when you take off the original screen from the navigation buttons (the buttons are like a sheet of wire which has been glued to the screen, removing is slow)
To be honest, i have replaced my screen a total of 3 times... The first time the screen replacement had a pink hue to it... I emailed the seller and he shipped a replacement which was fine... then i dropped the phone again and that stopped working, so i got a third which has been fine for the past 3-4 months.... well i guess it has been four times cause i replaced the second screen with the pink screen so i could have a working phone... then replaced the pink screen with the final good screen again.
but yes. the replacement screens on ebay are pretty cheap... a word of warning though, they are NOT gorilla glass, so no protection against scratches. and i am not sure if they are SAMOLED screens or not. they might be just lcd?

Anyone got a broken/bricked HTC Diamond?

Hey guys, I have just broken my diamond and I'm looking for a doner to repair mine.. My screen glass is cracked..
My screen works and the colours are not spreading..
My touch works and I can still use the device..
So I'm guessing there is glass between the digitizer and the actual display.
Would is be easier to repair it with parts from a doner phone or...
purchase this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FULL-LCD-Scre...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3363b4604e
And replace the whole screen assembly. That includes the full front as you see in the eBay picture...

You're right. There's a glass between digitizer and display... But they are all glued... it's a difficult work to reassemble everything...

Yeah I thought so...
The reason I posted this was to see if anyone had an old broken bricked diamond I could useas a doner for the whole screen..
Sent using RapidRead!

I tried the same but resulted in completely disaasebling the LCD. And was of no use later. I had to buy a new one. Better get a new on instead.

Yeah, I most likely will
I just asked here to see if I could get one a little cheaper, but then paying around £20-£25 for a brand new screen etc, which includes the screen, digitizer, glass etc...
What you see in the eBay pic is what I would be removing from a doner phone.
But also if I bought a new one from ebay that would then get rid of any scratches etc.
Although I've always had a protector on it from day one, it was bought second hand so there are some minute scratches

Touchscreen crack replacement?

Today I got accident and my screen cracked a bit. But, everything function normally(touch, LCD or screen). So the question: do I need replace screen digitizer(touchscreen) only or must replace both LCD&touchscreen?
I read somewhere, must replace touchscreen+lcd but in my case it is only cracked screen, LCD working fine.

Glass and LCD are glued together and those are also glued into frame. It's possible to replace screen by purchasing glass + lcd as 1 unit but this means you have to pry the old glass from the phone's frame.
What I did was I just bought frame + lcd + glass as 1 unit form Ebay. It's much easier and risk that you'll break something is much lower.

Thanks for info m8...

How to find the best replacement screen
Today my Nexus 5X screen has cracked. However the touch responses and the colours are still great. Just the front screen cracked.
Please let me know where to buy the genuine replacement for the screen? Are there any good sellers in Amazon? I want to replace it with an OEM part.

Replace the whole screen.

just buy 1 from ebay, original or not (i have not original one and works just fine)
1>your warranty is void
2>if you don't want to lose your warranty just sent it to LG ! .....bad idea!!! they want 160 euros!!!! the same thing happened to me
*160 euros cost in Cyprus
this is what i got is not original but works just fine!
