Hi Guys,
Last night my phone got damaged in an accident. The LCD is broken i think. but the digitizer is alright. I have run out of warranty so just wanted to know how much does the HTC service center charge for the repairing.
I am living in INDIA, Pune.
Also is there any way I can do it myself?
ebay tytn ii lcd... you should be able to find a couple... make sure you get a trox screw driver with it... its really simple to replace
HTC repair services are hard to come by, but there are some online services around $150 or so. you could find a screen on ebay for cheaper, but you will also need a T5, T6, and T7 torx screw drivers as well as tools to break the seam, and flat head and philips screw drivers, along with directions and about 3.5 hours of your time if you want to fix it yourself.

Ummmm nope friend....thats just the digitizer. They generally run around 45$ or so.
This one looks pretty decent
thanks!
I hope this works. Also I read somewhere that there are two types of LCD,
Green and Normal.
Which one is this?
Take a look there:

I already ordered that one. I got a offer of free shipping too.
But I will need the help of you guys to fix the screen, Because though I am a Mechanical Engg. I am not so expert in such delicate things.
Mike Channon Should be your friend then
Mike has got you covered for detailed pics and I thought he had vids on his site as well, found HERE. It truly is a simple task. I've done it on 1 Hermes and 2 Kaisers. I should put a shingle up for this kinda stuff !

Ive taken apart my hermes about 50 times in total. It doesnt look like the kaiser is much harder. Ive had no need to as of yet. It might look a tad intimidating at first, but you should be fine. Just take careful to note what came from where as you disassemble it. Mikes guide is pretty in-depth do I would print it out and have a hard copy near you as you make the attempt

It took me 35 mins while watching tv and checking emails.
so it may not that long...
It was much easier than I thought. However use the 'only four screw removal method' - no need to take two parts apart as mentioned in some of the instructions you will find here.
I was able to take out four screws, pry apart the two pieces (had to order the special pry tool) and just push up the LCD screen, remove the connecting cable and take it out by sliding it out.

Thank You guys for all your support and guidence.
I have fixed the LCD and yes it is very simple task, hardly took 30 min.
Hi,
Does anyone know were I can buy a NEW mother board for my tilt?
Regards
Mat
i would say, it's time to buy a new phone for you. sell the rest of it you may still get $50 - $100 for parts
new mobo is just not worth it with kaiser
I thought someone would tell me that.
The big question is what do I go for Touch Pro 2?
If you want to.

A google Nexus or an Iphone 4g is what I would go for.
If you really want to fix it...
Find one on ebay with a Cracked Screen..
Just found a company that will fit a new USB socket £35 ($60)
That looks the best way to go

the connector is all that's wrong with it????
did you rip it off or is still in place just not usable?
if it's ripped off, it might be that it took piece of circuit with it, but why worry, just get a battery charger with another battery for $10 together and you don't need the connector.
I disabled connector on my kaiser, by trying to reset it, while I was angry and forcefully pushing pen into connector instead of reset button could have been fixed, but I never bothered.
I wouldn't spend $60 on an almost 3 year old phone.
ANY suggestion where to find a feasible price dell streak lcd screen replacement , its price is tripled within couple months !
I have a broken one laying around, the screen is fine though, I dropped it and it won't turn on, except for a battery with an exclamation mark in it.... You can have it for postage costs... For the price of a crate of beer I'll send you a Mugen 4800 battery (no cover, they all broke, they cost approx 15 dollars for a set ), the oem cable, a set of chinese batteries, a charger(us and japan plug)and an otterbox commuter case as well.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
I'm wondering if maan76 doesn't grab the batteries could i have em?
Sure first come first serve. Send me your address, I'll send you the stuff and you can PayPal me the amount of the beer after you received it.

My streak occasionally does this - if I plug it into a PC that's booted into Windows, then it starts charging !
Once it's started charging, after a couple of minutes I can power on the Streak and then disconnect and move back to the mains charger and it carries on charging just fine...
Tried it.... no success, so I got myself a galaxy note instead.... still love the dell though and if someone can use it for an "organ transplant".I'll happy to pass it over.

If the screen is good, I'm interested in it.
Still need a cheap screen

...I also have this problem sometimes, but mostly when using a USB extension cable. To get round it I have to plug the phone cable directly into the mains charger and then once the phone powers onto the "Dell" logo I can swap it for the extension cable again. I'm guessing it is due to the phone not thinking it is getting the correct voltage or something like that. Might be a similar problem for yours misternagoya
....anyway we digress...
I have replaced my screen 3 times (got to love my kids!!) each time the screen cost around £25 (last time being just before Christmas). My daughter has once again customised my display permanently and I now can't find anything for less than £90.
One, kindly offered, spare is really good for the lucky soul who gets it but the bigger question is still.....
Does anyone know where you can get cheaper replacement screens for the Dell Streak 5" ?
....and does anyone know why the price has sky rocketed???
RESULT!!!
Found a dell streak screen for just under £30 at...
ecrater
(put the H T T P and WWW in front and CO. UK after as I can't put links on as I haven't done enough posts yet )
search for streak on their home page and trawl through. There are a few different screens but one is on for £29.36
Just ordered one I'll let you all know what it's like when it arrives ....if it arrives
wow great price. if it arrives let us know ! thanks =) but he dont ship to SLOVAKIA =(

I think the manufacturer has stopped producing them and now there is a limited quantity. That's my hunch though.
I too am desperately looking for one also.
frustrating screen shortage
I have replaced my screen twice, and am ready for a third, but these prices are killing me! I actually broke my streak about 2 weeks ago and have been hoping some more screens would come on the market. We're at the sad, sad point where replacement screens are going for more than new phones.
if anyone else has an extra old/broken streak that might have a functioning screen, please let me know!
Yeah,
Anyone willing to sell a spare working lcd cheaper than these ridiculously prices?
It'd be nice!

Hello, I just need your help guys. On my Milestone the On/Off Button is broken.
I don't want to get a new phone since I',m happy with my milestone.
At the moment i search a repair parts provider, but I don't find any.
Somebody know where to get repair parts for the milestone?
The screen,the case, the buttons and these small parts are the same in the Droid1 and you can find plenty of Droid 1 replacement parts on eBay.
screwdriver

Hello
I recently dropped my Samsung Captivate. First time it had purple spots on the screen in 1 day the whole screen went purple and the next day the whole screen went black The sensor and everything else is working.
How do you think, what may be the issue of this? is the screen completely screwed or there may be another, less important damage.

My guess is that you'll have to replace the digitaliser. You can do it yourself or contact mobiletechvideos.com for the job.
If you have any experience in it though, you can try opening your phone and see if anything isn't correctly connected.

Pretty sure it would be easier to replace the digitizer + screen, since I think they're glued together on the captivate? (correct me if I'm wrong).
It's about $75. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Cap...izer-i896-AT-T-Galaxy-S-Display-/160787040070

As far as I've seen, the cheapest I got mine was $80. Bad idea, too many issues, wasted money. Buying anywhere but swappa they're about 150$+. Swappa has one for $135 (hoping to buy that one actually, but either have to wait a week and hope someone doesn't buy it, or sell my pantech crossover faster so I have the money haha).

You just have to put "i897" or similar as an ebay saved search that notifies you when new products matching that description are posted.
I bought 1 cappy for $60 from ebay seller alltechwholesale, out of Texas I think. In my experience, they do a good job inspecting the phones first so you know what your going to get. In my experience and many others, the phone arrived in better condition than described....Then I picked up two more sold together on ebay for $70 that were listed as one bad digitizer and the other bad charge port. I got them as parts phones. The one with the "bad digitizer" ended up being just a bad search button because the screen lifted on that corner a little. A 50 cent tube of adhesive fixed that. Then the second of the two just had a dirty charge port and a squirt of crc electronics cleaner fixed it...Now I have a main phone, a backup flashed to be identical, and a media device!!
After taking this phone completely apart a few times it gets pretty easy to see it really is a mini computer and most of the major parts can be bought on ebay for decent prices and replaced fairly easy....The ribbons that connect the various parts can bend and break easily so that is something to keep in mind. I broke the ribbon for the headphone jack assembly but a little hunting on ebay and I had one on it's way for $1.50 after shipping lol.

Haha yes, I can relate to the mini computer aspect. Just spent my day repairing about 8 hp Touchsmarts, the cappy compared to that, is a dream lmao. Much less to deal with . I planned on using the cappy I have now as a spare part phone anyway, unless I can somehow get it to work. But I didn't know about the whole ebay thing. I shall do that now, thanks a TON :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Just checked alltechwholesale ebay store, SO MANY CAPPYS FOR SALE!!! All around the same price, seems they put it up for 0.99 and someone keeps jacking it up to $70 shortly after. My only thing -- I hate auctions . But great share and bookmarked

yeah, alltech is just auctions but I just took time to read conditions and saved a bunch and you'll find that they go for different prices depending on what's wrong and even depending on the day or time of day lol......That's why I suggested saving the search too. I use the ebay app and when there is new listings of my saved searches I get a notification so I go and look. If your quick, You can possibly snag a "buy it now" at a decent price depending on the condition your looking for. I really couldn't believe I ended up with 3 100% working phones and maybe I just got lucky, but I'd say it's worth a try lol.
I'd say it was a combination of good research, and amazing luck hahaha. But I do appreciate it a lot, thanks for the info, cheers

Sorry we kind of got off the subject, But for the digitizer try what Bwolf said about the connections.
Once when I was testing the power button I soldered on my old cappy I didn't get one of the ribbons all the way on (i believe it was the ribbon near the power button), and the screen flashed a few different colors.
There is at least one probably more youtube vids with pointers on how to get the cappy apart in a way that wont do damage.
I know there's a tare-down guide here, and there was a YouTube video where someone replaced the screen, if I can find it on my history I'll edit this post

i have checked and now i am sure, that the screen is broken. I live in a state, that is not supported by paypal and and where can i buy used captivate for parts with my credit card?
The only place I can think of would be ebay, if you can find a seller who accepts things other than paypal. Or you can try craigslist.
