Hello everyone, got a sony z1 from a mate for free but there's a liltle crack on the digitizer, has anyone bought one from ebay so far ? post your review and if you have any links it is appreciated Have a nice day
There is a plenty of Digitizers on eBay and most of them are not Genuine, I also don't think so many people replaced they screens to let you know which you have to buy. Just check and ask the seller if you see a good deal.
BTW, do you know that you have to have a good skills to replace it?
I bought mine from www.witrigs.Com Find a couple different YouTube guides and take your time. It really isn't that hard of a repair but you will need the heat gun. Make sure you also order all the seals for putting the device back together.

DIY repair
Do you want to DIY repair?
It is very hard to only replace the digitizer part, even for the guy who has professional skill.
The digitizer and screen are glued together tighlty. So I think you have to replace the screen with digitizer part.
BTW, witrigs.com is a good website. You can find original part and repair guide. Good Luck.

Hey,
Just looking for some advice where I should go for a cheap solution on how to fix my phone. Basically, everything still works great! Apart from the big crack, the screen doesn't seem to have been damaged (eg. All the pixels look fine, touch still works, only glass/plastic panel is cracked)
I'm actually really impressed by how it took such a hard hit and the device works fine, the screen didn't even smash! Basically it nudged in between my car seat where you close the door, didn't realise it fell out my pocket and closed the door (you could imagine it would be a hard hit) and the phone lives.
If I just needed the glass replaced, can it be done DIY? Or should I not bother and give it to a service centre? I got it from 3 but I know they'll probably overcharge me for something like this..
Any suggestions welcome, thanks!
if the damage is only to the exterior screen then you may want to consider getting this:

be carful! the screen from my firlfreidns diamond is broken too and I had ordered one of those touchscreens... but the screen which comes has no "window" for the frontcamera and after disassembling the phone I saw that it is NOT POSSIBLE to remove the touchscreenglas from the frame.
Replacement LCD & Digitiser
I recently replaced an lcd and digitiser on a HTC Touch Diamond. I bought the complete screen (lcd & digitiser) as one pre-assembled unit from a guy on Ebay (£34.99). Fits straight into the front of the unit frame. I don't think you can remove just the digitiser because it is stuck onto the LCD, and the LCD itself is very fragile. Disassembly is fairly straight forward if you've got the right tools.
Thanks for all your help guys! I've just been bogged down with work so havn't been able to get back here for awhile.
I've taken some time to look into the webiste and others, decided to just order it off ebay in the end anyways. However, taking note from the previous 2 posts, would I be wasting my time ordering just the digitiser itself? I would assume that's what HerrVorragend also meant by "that it is NOT POSSIBLE to remove the touchscreenglas from the frame."
If so, why do they bother selling them online separately? I guess I won't really find an answer, just seems stupid to me. Anyways, guess I'm stuck purchasing both LCD + Digitiser but as a final question, does anyone have any guidelines as how I should replace this myself? I'm very paranoid about this sort of thing because it's only 1 month old, however, I have also replaced an LCD on my old Nokia 6280 before using a step-by-step picture guide online.
Don't think I'd have much luck finding one for this model, hey.. haha.
Once again, thanks!
Double posted, sorry.

If you google for HTC Diamond Service Manual, that will help greatly with assembly and disassembly - there are also a couple of videos on Youtube. From my experience the most tricky part is re-connecting the two flex connectors when you re-install the main board. I use the back of a pair of tweezers to slide underneath the connector carefully. If you are nervous about doing it and happy to cover postage costs, I can replace the LCD for you - PM me for details and I'll see what i can do.

Please, can you tell me where to Order new digitizer+LCD (i dont wanna dissasemble LCD from digitizer) for my HD2 i was in repair center and they want almost 250$ for change but i asked my friend in one repair center and he told me there is no difference between Genuine HTC screen and chinese screens so please tell me where did you get yours.......and yes i dropped my HD2 on the road and it fell that bad that the glass is cracked.....
Thanks for any tips.
You might want to have a look at eBay (or other auction sites). Compare prices and take the cheapest one.

You can get the digi & LCD assembly for about 70US$ & fitting is not that hard as splitting/assembling LCD/digi is the killer for most.
If you read up on the guides & take care & be gentle with ribbon cables ect you will be fine.
Good care & using good 3M tape ect will result in a repair as good or better than most repair shops ...
I drop my SP and front glass cracked, it really looks ugly. But display and touch are functioning normally. So, my problem is how to replace it. I saw screen digitizers on ebay can be bought for 25-50 USD, but I read somewhere that it's not possible to replace only digitizer but you need to replace the screen as well. Another problem is, I saw a video on yt where a man bought faulty digitizer for sp on ebay.... So, I don't know what to do?

send it for repairs to sony centre
Not many options really.
1) Send your phone to somewhere where they can repair it for a cost.
Or
2) Buy one off ebay and give it a go yourself! If its faulty send it back.
I replaced screen on xperia arc. If you take your time and be patient its not hard. Not sure what answers you're looking for ha
As far as I was aware, for the arc, you had to replace screen and digitizer as one assembly.
The digitizer is kind of stuck to the screen, i.e. you cant do it yourself...easily.
Hi all!
I bought a HTC One M7 with a cracked screen dirt cheap from a friend and am hoping to repair it myself and I've had a look around the q&a forums but anyone that references to genuine or "OG" HTC parts doesn't specify where you can actually order them from, I'd be looking for both speakers, lcd screen, digitizer and front speaker covers but am pretty unsure of which parts are actually legitimate on the internet.
Any help guys?
TIA

Screen repair here, fairly cheap and apparently 100% genuine, saves you a lot of hassle, i.e, breaking it apart and re-sealing it, plus the possibility of damaging other parts, also ring them and ask if they can replace the other parts for you.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Repair-Re...410?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19f93950c2
if not then the speakers are here, cheap as chips, you could always ask the LCD company, if you send the speakers with the phone, if they wouldn't mind changing them at the same time, it would take them 2 mins whilst they have it apart.

for the covers, depends on colour, but heres an idea:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Top-F...sPouches&var=460531438066&hash=item2594a951a1
All for less than £100, cant really beat that for the whole front end of the phone.
If you are going to replace the screen might I suggest you order an entire front housing with digitizer and screen and back housing. You will destroy your phones body when you open it. Order those parts and follow the complete breakdown and reassembly videos on YouTube. They are all good.
Is it hard to change just back cover?

Personally I wouldn't take the risk of opening it all up myself, inside is extremely fragile and the motherboard connections for instance is as easy to rip in half as a piece of cloth, I destroyed a HTC Desire HD whilst trying to change the LCD and Digitalizer and the back of that was screwed on, the HTC One series is 10 times harder to open up.
Check this out for an idea of what is involved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVUAr5hLiEE
I have a Z3+ where the digitizer cracked by itself while laying on the table beside me. I cant use the phone anymore. Screen is still perfectly fine but touch is not working.
I contacted Sony and it turns out to be to expensive to fix at a repair shop. Is it possible to change this myself? A Digitizer is only ~10$ on Ebay but I cant find much information on how to change it.
The only video I found is this, but its not very clear:
Xperia Z3 Digitizer Glass Only Replacement

Does anyone have any experience on doing this and could give me some informaiton?

It's Xperia Z thread, but my advice is to buy digitalizer and touch together and replace them. I tried to change just touch on my XZ and i broke digitalizer, as I read through the net and find that Sony made it nearly impossible to remove touch from digitalizer. If you don't have equipment and skills it's best to replace them together.
Good Luck!

Thank you! I think buying the full screen + touch is a bit to pricey for me. its around 100-120$, not worth it for me since I can fail to mount it and loose more money. I just wanna give changing digitizer a shot before I throw the phone in the garbage can.
I am thinking of taking it apart and see if I can separate the digitizer first, if I succeed I will order a new one and put on top.
