Insidertip: Where can my Diamond be repaired?

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

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?

I broke the screen of my TyTN II.What to do?

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!
Ale

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

you need to replace the digitizer but in this moment i don't know from where to buy one, i have o do some research, i know the answer is in this forum cause i read about it.

Buy one on ebay, there are many sellers selling those replacement parts.
Or buy an used Droid/Milestone, replace yours.
I have one functional digitizer (a used Droid), but there are scratches on it. Anyone interested?

ebay is probably the only place where you can get those parts at their cheapest. I'm sure there are other chinese sites, but I wouldn't trust them, especially with something that costs that much
Or you see how much it would cost to send the phone to sony to be fixed

[Q] replace broken screen

Hi, I broke my screen on P7 and I want to replace it by myself. Do you have any experiences with this process?
Thanks for advises

Can someone just give me a good link for a complete screen, lcd, touch, and glass(free shiping is desirable). Thanks in advance.

Dude.... its a PITA.
The back is "stuck in place"with glue that you need to remove, and then replace. The whole unit then needs to be taken apart. I tried it once, and being used to screen replacements myself, was surprised to fail miserably.
Its not that expensive from a Huawei center, and if its under warrenty, the labour is even free!

I found nice videoturorial on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD24da5bqbc
And I replaced my screen successfully!

I have to agree with Juggles.
There's no point doing it yourself, unless you are experienced mobile phone technician. If your phone was bought new then just send it for repair as it is under warranty.

And I have to disagree... I just successfully replaced my broken screen few days ago. It's not that hard.

Is it possible to change the front glass without the digitizer?
After all thats just a couple of bucks compared to the "real-thing", but I gess its not the best option as there isn't a "How to change only frontglass out there"...
