Im living in the Uk and managed to crack the screen on my kaiser. My insurance company will fix it/replace the phone but theres is a 50quid excess.
Iv searched the internet high & low for new LCD screens but aside from ebay iv struggled to find any. As for the ones on ebay they are all from hong kong & google has brought up a few horror stories from people who have used them.
Does anyone know where i could source a new lcd from, or any advice in general?
cheers guys
I cracked the screen on my kaiser a couple months back. I purchased an LCD off ebay (i may be able to find the seller and see if he has more). I received it within a week and fixed it myself. easy stuff. I wouldn't be too afraid.
so your insurance will charge you 50quid to replace it completely or 50quid on top of the price of the lcd?
cnn.cn has lcd's for $75.99 + shipping. I've had mixed results with them. Ordered about 3 things from them, all seperate orders, arrived on time and no complaints. But then ordered a 4th item (lcd for nokia n82) and the package arrived empty. I honestly think it got lost in customs cuz they tore the package open, but cnn.cn didnt reply to any of my emails so i just withdrew the payment with my bank.
£50 in total, inc shipping and parts. the £50 is just my insurance excess.
The phone is in very poor shape so imo id quite happily pay the £50 if they will send me a refurb phone!
poor shape how?
i sent my phone Tytn in or repa[ir on insurance with a cracked screen, they serviced it, cleaned it etc.
if you have insurance then use it! you won't be able to get a screen for less and then you'll have the hassle of fitting it.
whats the point in having insurance?
if your phone is in poor shape cosmetically and you are disappointed with that then look after your phone!!!
else report all faults in a one-er and get them fixed for one excess payment.
anybody know where to get a cheap black battery cover. the one that came with the device is full of scratches
also whats the cheapest place that sells the battery with its it external charger. simiar to this one for the diamond http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.17053 (this works well btw and its only $4)
i wish dealextreme sells x1 stuff
yea.. i am interested in getting a battery cover as well. mine is scratched... grrr... so easy to be scratched
nothing?
what about just a cheap stote that sells cheap x1 stuff?
Also looking for a black battery cover
EDIT: Found one although expensive http://ucables.com/ref/BATTERY-COVER-SE-X1-P-R89657
have you check with sony support about a battery cover? or is it just that expensive. i dont think you will find anyone making a battery cover other than sony for the x1. i could be wrong tho.
if you cover is that badly scratched, why not just sand it, leave the metal bare or paint it. put a cover on it and it will not be noticeable.

However i ordered from the authorized service here, and they charge me $15 for it. Not yet arrived, they need to indent.
Do you think it's expensive? For original cover?

How about I give you my account number and you can withdraw the money yourself . Get real.
My cover got scratched from using a PDAIR case that is leather on the inside as well. It started taking the paint off the edges. Hopefully somebody finds something for less than 40$, which is a little ridiculous.
@megacrazy,
I agree w/ you. Maybe on that ebay listing put a offer in. Ive bought from that seller before and Ive put in $7-$15 cheaper than what his asking prices is and he's has accepted everytime. Its worth a try...worst case senerio is he say no. But i definitely agree w/ you $40 is alittle steep.

Haha...thanks for the tip. I put in 30$ and it was automatically accepted. Still a little steep but better than 40$. I guess we can test the waters next time with some 20$ offers
Has anyone seen their new cover? Mine just got scratches while in vacation. I need the new one and didn't find one on ebay.
Any help?

jimcat,seeing that you are based in HK, might be easier for you to contact/pay the seller than us. I would be interested but could I trouble you to get one instead of me buying directly from the seller?
sure... becsuse i want it too.
just want more orders so that i will buy it at once

Does anyone know how much HTC UK charge to replace the housing (not the screen or battery cover) of a HD2?
I would like to get mine changed but HTC UK want me to send in the phone before they will give an price!
Ouch! I hope you like the results... I'm curious about the price of that too. It's a bit early, but you might find a parts-only phone with a smashed screen or something and a suitable body.
go to truesuppliers webpage they have them for 80.00

Do a google search before you buy there. I've read they sell cheap/poor quality stuff.
Looking too now. Mine has developed a crack that has spread from the battery slot to the edge of the screen.
i rang htc uk last friday asking about this. they said they could pick up the device next day. repair time would be 10 days. cost to replace all plastics (by this i assume they mean the main housing/battery cover. possibly the main body of the phone as well) £65. probably best to call them yourself to check that price. they said they would be in touch to let me know the price when the damage had been assessed by an engineer.
i didnt bother with this as my housing only has superficial damage so went looking for a good replacement. got one on order now. when it comes i'll post up a pic. check my thread for updates. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851273
1 quick question.
In case my T-Mobile HD2 "glass" breaks, all I would need is a 60 dollar Digitizer for the T-Mobile off ebay right ?
No soldering needed ? Just snap-off the broken one and snap on the new one ?
Has anybody done this ?
Just asking for peace of mind.. I like having getaway options.

Apparently it is much more difficult than that. And most of the ones for sale at Ebay are not compatible with the US version. You really need the digitizer with the LCD attached. I just had mine fixed by HTC and it is supposed to cost $120. But they have not charged my credit card yet. The price is actually cheaper than that quoted to me by a seller in Hong Kong. I opted for peace of mind knowing that it will be fixed properly by HTC and if not they will replace it. Plus I get 90 day warranty on the repair.
Well there are some on ebay who specify in their listing "T-Mobile HD2 only digitizer"
Question is, is it easy to pull out just the Digitizer on the US HD2 and get it replaced without sending to HTC ?

I'm going with No. I have done a few before for different phones and unless your quite skilled with electronics and mobile screens then it's not worth it. As stated, get a digitizer with LCD attached already. You physically have to separate the digitizer and the LCD which is very difficult. They are usually glued/taped together and you risk getting dirt in between and cracking the LCD anyway. Get them already together then just disassemble, install, reassemble. Save you $$ in the long run.
Hello guys,
Yesterday, I dropped my phone by mistake and cracked the screen, so I went online to look for replacement (I can change it by myself) and ended up not knowing what I exactly need.
My question is do I need this https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Free-Shipping-for-HTC-One-M8-LCD-Screen-Display-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Assembly/800156_2046697346.html?src=google&albch=search&acnt=479-062-3723&isdl=y&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&albcp=304964476&albag=11402194156&slnk=&trgt=dsa-62796764476&plac=&crea=64152582916&netw=g&device=c&mtctp=b&memo1=1t1&gclid=Cj0KEQjwsO6-BRDRy8bsxfiV2bkBEiQAF8EzKAy1YydCzYq8AeRHSHbDCTHSTlwdXW_P3EdSkpvs4GMaAqWj8P8HAQ to replace my screen?
It would be easier to just purchase the lcd and digitizer with front housing. The 3 pieces would be already assembled. IMHO it is just easier to spend the few extra dollars to avoid a possible hassle. And, for the record this is the route i went when i replaced mine. I only buy from sellers located in the U.S. to avoid warranty/replacement issues of parts (if you live in the U.S.).

Hey,
Thank you for the reply and no I am not from US.
So, this one should work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-HTC-ONE-M8-LCD-Display-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Frame-Replacement-Assembly-/282122816484?hash=item41afd48be4:g:5pgAAOSwaB5XowrM
I'm not a fan of parts from China and Honk Kong. But yes, that will work. Just remember, be free of static, disconnect the battery as soon as you get the rear cover off, and wear anti-static gloves designed for electrical devices and components. Good luck!
