Screen and digitizer come together as one assembly. You can't replace the digitizer only.
Take a look at this video, it explains how to disassemble the phone and replace the screen:

There is no LCD on Captivate. It's AMOLED screen + digitizer as one assembly.

If you just need the lens to cover the screen here you go. Its not too expensive either. With shipping its under 10 bucks.

And then he will realize that the screen and digitizer is actually 1 piece. 10 bucks in the garbage...

Replacement screen?

Hey there.
I got "faulty" Diamond from a shop. It has one minor issue with screen. They told me that glass broke on the screen and now the screen has two small scratches.
So, where can I buy replacement display/screen for my Diamond and is it easy to change? I asked from a local repair and they told it would cost something like 250€/300$. I tought it's a little bit high prize so I was thinking if you guys could help me out.
on ebay there are diamond screens for sale
Not a very bad price also..

Thanks alot. That is really a decent prize.
Has anyone of you guys changed HTC Diamond screen? Is it a big operation?
Never done it to a diamond.
If I look @ the service manual I hate to say: yes, you'd have to take some time, there are a lot of steps.
But it's doable, just take your time, read the service manual first to know what to expect.
Then carefully take all the steps in the manual to disassemble the device.
replace the screen, and re-assemble according to the service manual.
I wish you good luck!
BTW You could also buy an extra digitiser (touchpad) for if the touchscreen is damaged.
maybe this will help you http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-digitizer-p-2128.html
Hi be very carefull with the screen , i just changed my lcd at a HTC service center, the screen is composed by 3 parts the digitizer (touch screen), lcd display, and the front cover ( the metal that you see around the screen), all this parts are changed in one piece, you cannot change only the touch screen or the lcd because, it can be done without damaging the lcd. Dont buy from ebay only the touch screen because you wil and up breaking your phone.
Ps the screen ( front cover, touch screen, lcd display) cost me 110 euro.
Here are some pictures of my old screen.
Thank you all, for your replies. I've ordered the parts and should get those by the start of next week. I think I'll manage to do it, didn't seem to be that hard.
Thanks again.

Were you sucessful changing the digitizer?
Did you changed only the digitizer or the lcd-screen with the digitizer, because lucian777 said thats only possible to change the complete part?
Google in Ebay. I saw an offer for 45 €. Regards

Scratched screen

I have some kind of bad scratches on my screen, I was just wondering if I choose to replace it will I need to swap the digitizer, screen or front case?
Its not causing many problems yet, but in the sun they show up really bad and make things under the scratches kind of hard to see.

The Actual front of the screen is actually the digitizer so thats what you would have to replace, the font case dosent have a clear part its the digitizer
and believe it or not thats probably the cheapest part of all 3 to replace
and if you choose to replace it you can use this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaAe0xWdkzI

Hello, I also have scratch on the screen, but they're not scratch "lines": in the center, where I touch most of the times, I have some kind of spots, like the screen had worn in that point because is the most touched. Anyone with this problem? What it could be?

Check if there's any protection cover on the screen. In case there's no cover and you see the touchscreen was damaged, try to replace it. Someone already have posted youtube link to tutorial. For instance, you can buy a new touchscreen on ebay (i can't post the link)

[Q] Help with replacing glass!

Hi
I dropped my phone causing the top glass part to broke. I ordered a replacement from ebay and now I need help fixing it.
Is there any video out there where it is shown how to change just the glass part?
I apparently can no post you a link as a new member so..
Search youtube for: LG P970 touch display screen replacement - Part Repair.
this is the kind of video that I think I need. Only with P880 being repaired, of course.
Thanks for your help!

Yes it is, here:

Yeah I saw that one. Do I really need to do all that?
In that video they take everything off even the smallest thigs.
When they replace other phones glasses they dont dissamble nearly as much stuff.
But if that's what I'm going to have to do..

I'm affraid that needs to be like that. There is no way to connect it back in other way, in a safe mode of course.
I don't think you have to take apart the whole thing. Do it until the "frame" is seperated from the "front" and replace the "front", leaving the PCBs in the "frame".

The links you're posting... That's only the clear glass facing, not the LCD, right?

no that the touch screen only as LCD works perfect but touch not working
Do you know how to replace it by yourself?
The digitizer you posted is actually the touch screen you need.
The adhesive is the glue that attaches this screen to the mobile, you can use double sided tape instead.
I see that both prices are close, 16$ - 20$, so just pick any..
You can find some videos on youtube on how to replace it.
Good luck

Does anybody know where will I get original screen replacement parts for my Honor 7?

My Honor 7's screen is broken. Though the digitizer works perfectly, still everyone is saying I should change the whole screen part. I just wanted to know where will I get the original screen replacement parts.
And can anyone tell me if I change only the screen and not the digitizer, will it still work? Or is that even possible?
Thank you..

It is practically very tough work to replace only digitizer or screen .you have to replace it as combo. B'cause now screens are coming as that Even if you replace any single of them it's not going to work for long in my opinion go for whole screen
