Hi all,
New to site. I was looking for threads on how to fix a broken screen on the Optimus Black and stumbled across the site. Its seems to be quite good with loads of information on it.
Anyway, as I said. I dropped the Black on the ground and cracked the screen at the top. Its working perfectly but I want if fixed. I got quotes off the shops in Dublin City, Ireland, for 100 Euros. Im a student and do not have that sort of money to pay.
I went on Ebay and seen them for 25 Euro in China or 35 Dollars in America. Is this a good way to fix it yourself ? Is it hard to do ? Has anyone any experience of doing it this way ?
What kind of screen do I need ? The LCD display is not cracked, its the front glass.
Thank you for any replies.
Dude, at first read the rules of here...
You should post in THIS thread, not opening a new... Report sent. Bye

As was said, please post your issue ].

where can i get a replacment screen i dropped mine and its now bust please help thx in advance
Ooops!
Hi, I did the same and the people at O2 replaced it for £70
Not too bad, and I got a new casing as well!
Adam
thanks will give them a try
No they don't!!! already checked with them and be sure to check out the other forums relating to this topic BEFORE you go further - check whether it is just the touchscreen or the whole screen that needs replacing saves you time and money as others have made this mistake!!! I think the £70 price is if you are a U.K O2 contrated owner, cause they told me it was double this price and I was just needing my touchscreen replaced as it was scratched up!!
Hi,
I have a new XDA which basically doesn't work because something in the circuitry is broken and it doesn't make any sound.However eveything else works(what I mean is the phone bit doesn't work,but the PDA side of it does).
What that means is that the screen and other physical external parts are in perfect working order.
So if you are looking for a screen or any other major part,I could be persuaded to part with it at a reasonable price.
DO let me know in this forum and we can arrange things from there.
screen
Hi,
My screen was broken also, did a huge search through the internet and came up with nothing. The only thing that could be replaced was the touch screen, not the lcd screen. I had to sent it back to o2. Cost: 284 Euro!!!!!
It's been 3 weeks now, and I'm still waiting for my phone :shock: .
Succes,
Stefan
The LCD screen and all the physical parts are perfectly ok on my XDA.So someone can make a tidy saving by taking the XDA off me in case their screen is broken.
Any takers please contact me at [email protected]
hm
and how much do you want to have for your broken xda?
I wouldn't like to drive this.Offer me a price and I will let you know if I do accept the price.
But no point asking me to part with it for €50 or something as ridiculous as that as I already have an offer for €75 and am waiting for something better.As I said all the parts are in perfect order and there are no scratches or anything like that.So you get a safety net of all replaceable parts.
I am open to offers on this one.
I was thinking about this and maybe half of what O2 charge to replace the screen is a fair price? On top of the screen,you will get the exterior casing,buttons,stylus the ROM,everything. So I think it is a fair price.Let me know if anyone's interested.
bbanduser
I would be interested in your xda
mail me on [email protected] if you like
Thanks
Martin
Hi Martin,
I have sent you a mail at the mail address you mentioned in your post.
My XDA is no longer available as it has been sold to Martin.
Thanks for the interest guys.
Hi,
The XDA Diamond of my little brother has some cracks between the display and the touch-surface. (see attachement)
I sent the device O2, but they (their service-partner) said "no warranty" and want ~ 300€ for the repair.
I just looked into the service-manual, because I thought about repairing it by myself.
But I think it's to difficult for me.
Now I wonder if anybody know a cheap mobile-shop, who can repair my Diamond.
I live in Cologne. My Brother (and my family) near Hannover. (both in Germany)
But Online-Shops are also good.
Thank you!
the screen is on ebay - item 230285205211. They also offer repairs
search for the dismantle guide (sorry don't have it to hand)
i also got cracks on my screen just like your brother....
I decided to order one of the replacement screen from ebay that comes with the needed tools to do it myself. i payed about 25 dollars including shipping and should receive it anytime from now.... If you r willing to wait , i ll post feedback on how hard it is to do it yourself.
About dismantling the diamond u ll find easily links from google.
Good luck!
how do the cracks actually appear in the first place?
was it the result of something the manufacturer might classify as "abuse" or "accidental damage"?
Often I pick up my phone (HTC Victor) and think that it feels quite fragile compared to something like the N95... so i treat it accordingly - ie, with a little more care..
I already looked throu the disamble guide.
@Sebienbon
It would be great, if you would post feedback and maybe photos of the repair process (step-by-step) wich are not in the disamble guide.
Meanwhile I will do one more try with the service partner.
@bobbified
It just happened. I think my brother carried the device in his trouser pocket (jeans) when he was riding by bike. But imo such a expensive phone should be strong enough.
Also theere is no damage on the outside.
@hays
Thanks. But I am not sure if this is the right part.
My LCD still works. All pixels are fine.
But the "whatever" between the LCD and touch-surface is cracked.
Thanks everybody so far
i just got the kit this morning but the screw driver is wrong( probably because of a different country , i live in denmark and the screen comes from asia... so i ll go buy a tiny screw driver that i miss and then give it a go
Hey,
I´ve got the same problem. But my Screen is more broken
Although it works.
I read the Service Manual too but im not sure if it works with this part:
http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-digitizer-p-2128.html
Because on the last Picture in the Manuel you see only the front part of the phone and nothing about the part linked above.
So I w`ont open it before I`m not sure whats exactly to do.
Also I asked some firms do make me an offer for repairing the mobile phone.
The best offer is 129,00 € or 169,00 € if the dismantling create scratches on the Display under the touch screen because they are glued.
Very expensive!
Now I´m waiting for your experiences too.

Any update?
no updates
Man i wish i know of the manual to take this apart. You can fix it yourself if you take your time man, and dont be like me man. I took it apart thinking that the black tape under the battery is just tape!!!! And rip the mini-usb power ribbon. Man my heart sank.. So on that note if any of you guys know of a site or store to order parts from. please let me know also....
@lphar56
Is the diamond display made of glass and not the plastic stuff some other screens are made of???
The display is LCD so im guessing glas.. but it has a Touch Digitizer over the top.. that can scratch very easy and is only £15 off ebay
GET INSURANCE........
IF IT BREAKS, MAKE IT DISAPPEAR CLAIM FOR A STOLEN FONE
HTC diamond screen replacement
Hey guys!
AFAIK the cracks that appear are in the glass of the touch-screen-unit.
so i try to figure out how to replace this part only.
Is it glued to the LCD?
Which glue sould be used to fix it again?
Or does it even come with the screen?
I'd like to post a guide here if it works, so please help me answering this last question!
Also, replacing only the touchscreen would lower the repair cost to a third...
Thanks!
Still no update?? on the steps to remove digitizer?

Hi all,
Today I'm writing this post with a very bad mood!
As I wrote in the title, yesterday due to an unfortunate case, I've destroyed the screen of my TyTN II.
The pda is still working fine but the screen is completely inoperative (see attached picture).
Can some one tell me what to do?
Tray to repair my pda is a good choice or is better to sell it?
Over the internet I've found spare part for self-made repair but they're not very cheap... about 120 euros.
The phone still have 2 year of warranty.
Please... help me in that choice!
Thank you very much!

The cheapest way, is to buy a screen and replace it your self. I've done also. You can find a screen for about $40 dollars on E-bay. And find a tool set too

Did you?
I have searched on ebay but I didn't find a screen for $40 dollars.
One of the most cheap I've found is for about:
30 euros for the screen
95 euros for the LCD
at least 125 euros ship tax excluded.
If you know a seller or shop where I can find and buy LCD+screen for 40 dollars please send a p.m.
Final note... I live in Italy...

I HOPE SO!
I'm waiting for the seller reply.
I need to be sure that the article I'm going to buy can solve my problem it self because I understand that I have to change the LCD and the TouchScreen but I'm not sure that he sell me boot.
Moreover I'm in Italy and I have to know shipment price and time.
I really need to have back my TyTN II.
Thank you all!

Tutorial video
As most people allready said it's very easy to replace the broken screen with a new one. I could find a replacement screen complete (lcd+digitizer) for 45 euro's on http://www.2dehands.nl but that's a dutch site so i think 120 for a new screen is a lot of money for an replacement screen.
I found a replacement screen for you at this link
I myself replaced a screen according an tutorial video which made it very easy. follow the video step by step and you will do fine. I have set the video online for you and anyone who needs it at YouTube. Anyone who needs the movie at itself please feel free to PM me. I hope you this will do for you.
Cheers

I would say...
I would say just buy a screen from ebay and replace it yourself.
If anyone needs a screen (or other spare part) I have a tilt where the ribbon cable from the screen to the keyboard went.. Cosmetically the phone is a 9 out of 10 (very sharp) but I have no idea why the cable went.. One day it started having problems reading the sim card unless the phone was slid out and open... 2 days later it wouldnt; read sim cards and the screen would flicker... 2 days later it stopped reading SD cards and now the screen onl works when it is open... wifi & BT still seem to work fine... If interested, PM me an offer... I am located in Milwaukee, WI USA
I found a G1 for sale on craigslist and I was curious to see if you think the problem it has is hardware or software related. Follows is the description...(caps was in the original post so please forgive me)
BECAUSE IT WILL BE WORKING FINE AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GO TO CLOSE THE PHONE QUICKLY THE SCREEN WILL FADE BLACK AND IT MUST BE TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN TO GET THE SCREEN BACK ON
Does anyone think this is fixable?
They are asking $100 for it.
Thanks everyone!
Personally, I would stay away from it. I have routinely found deals for G1's on ebay for between $120 and $140 that have less wrong with them than some mystery screen problem. My spare G1 I got on ebay for $72 with free shipping and it just has a cracked screen. I am sure you can find a better deal if you are patient and look elsewhere other than CL. Good luck

The problem MAY be software related but im sure that most people who post such ad's are leaving out important details (i.e it started doing that after he dropped in his bathtub )
