Hi there.
My Nexus S screen broke up and ill be thinking is that possible to replace?
The screen is fine but the glass went broken.
Where I can get new frontcover/glass or do I have to get whole screen at all
(screen and frontcover)
the exact thing happened to me just minutes ago, infact thats why I came here. I know they can be replaced, I've found a few options with a quick google search, now just seeing how cheap I can get the parts
They can definitely be replaced, the problem's just that many of the replacements don't work (or don't work with a specific batch of phones, I haven't actually gotten to the bottom of the problem yet). A friend of mine broke his screen too, so I ordered a replacement and when it arrived, the LCD worked but there was no touch recognition. I had it replaced, and the replacement assembly had the exact same problem. The seller told me there were 2 versions of the i9023 screen which are incompatible with each other and that he had sent me the right version the second time, but I don't know how much is to that as it didn't work... Here's the thread in which the issue is covered:

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?

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
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.

Hello guys have a problem with my htc vivid's(have 2 of them)!
To start the story with i got a cracked vivid phone from ebay and thought of replacing the screen, i also got a digitizer from some hong-kong seller, the screen arrived and i looked up some videos on youtube and fixed the screen myself, everything seemed to have gone fine, but when i switched on the phone after replacement the bottom half of the screen would not work! only the top hald of the screen worked, i assumed it was a faulty digitizer and ordered another digitizer!
Meanwhile i got another vivid off ebay, this was also a damaged one ( the seller told the LCD was dimming but digitizer was working) so i thought of replacing its LCD and got it off, this phone also arrived so i had one phone with bad digitizer and other with bad LCD i ordered an LCD also so b4 it arrives i thought i would change the digitizer from the bad LCD phone to the bad digitizer phone so i will have one complete working phone!
When i started to open the bad LCD phone i realised it was a water damaged phone, but the digitizer was fine so i removed its digitizer carefully and put onto the bad digitizer phone and switched it on, but again the same problem! top half woking bottom half not working! so i thought ill change the motherboard of the bad digitizer phone with the bad LCD phone and after doing that the digitizer would not work at all!!
i dunno what to do now i dunno where im going wrong any sort of help or duggestions would be greatly appreciated, and if you guys are having hard time understanding any part of the story let me know will try to explain that part as clearly as possible, thanks in advance! hope i get ou of this problem soon
Are you sure that both motherboards were in working order.? I would suspect the motherboard you installed is faulty...is that motherboard the one which was on the waterdamaged phone? If it were me I would put the motherboard back in that at least had the screen half on and then troubleshoot from there....I've replaced a few screens but not enough to give a good resolution...I would proceed by process of elimination on components you know, for sure, are working before you install them...and its totally plausable that a new replacement part can be faulty...I'm not sure man, just my two cents worth...I would scour xda for others who have had screen issues..one post probably won't fix your particular issue but a few different ones might...ill look too and post link if I find something...

Just "scored" a 32 gb HP TP off CL for $100..only thing is he informed me that the touch screen was a little glitchy at times. So, I just decided to take it apart and fix it myself since it was already halfway opened Actually the digitizer wasnt even glued sufficient because while prying the case open, the digitizer came unstuck. So I didnt have to remove anything from the bezel just unclip the connectors and analyze the problem. I haven't gotten the replacement digitizer yet. Just wondering if this replacement or any of the other numerous listings on ebay would be ok before i bought it.
Also, he said he replaced the digitizer before..could the problem not be with the digitizer? When I opened everything up and reattached the connectors, it seemed like it functioned better than before but it was still a dead zone. Holding the TP upright, the row containing the numerical buttons dont function, as well as certain portions to the top of the device.
You need a new digitizer control board, not digitizer glass. And as far as I know they are not sold.

ugh...i wonder what goes wrong with the boards. It seems like its really nothing on them that could mess up unless a solder joint is bad or bent,etc. But the "good" news is it looks like he didnt try to replace the digitizer at all or if he did he put in an OEM replacement but i think thats highly doubtable. The digitizer has the same OEM stickers as the ones on the motherboards and every where else. So im holding out hope that the new replacement may correct the problem but..idk..
Side note:
Ok..im not understanding why the douche chose to try and repair it himself when it's still actually within the year warranty. He got it in DEC 2011...warranty is good til' October 2012 it says. I talked to HP and they said it was under warranty and sent me a box to ship it back. I was going to ship it back, but upon further inspection you can see where the azz pryed open the case. I didn't want to prolong the process of getting it fixed by having them just tell me that i voided the warranty,and sending it back to me...so i opted to do it myself. Any one have any testimonials with sending back opened Touchpads? Do they inspect them "good" before repairing?
If all else fails i guess ill just take the chance and send it back to HP.
update:
Just Received the digitizer from the ebay store posted in my first post. Works like a charm...guessing it was just the digitizer after all. Im now the proud owner of a 32gb HP Touchpad for $124.89 Case Closed!
So as many out there I broke the phone screen.
It only broke the outside glass, the screen itself still works fine, except for a little blue area/dot (screen as been broken for months so probably moister got it)
I'm not certain of what to buy (I do want a new screen with no blue dot) as prices and product names are very confusing
I'll probably buy this aliexpress
Is this the whole screen?
Does anyone recomends something else?
I replaced the whole screen including the frame. I'm happy with it. No touch issues and multitouch passed with 10 fingers. I bought this one.
