Hi Xperia SP users
I have done some disassembly and find out that my LCD screen is indeed broken. Since I am not a rich guy, I decided to replace the screen rather than buying a new device. Touch is fine, it is just the display module that fcked.
However I come up into another problem; all replacement parts are not genuine. Heck of course, I know this. But to actually "buy" one is not easy. The mere 15$ might be cheap for some of you. But for a school student like me, it can actually can impact my $$ life Especially currency conversion.
So what's the problem? Why do I need to ask?
I am searching for someone that has replaced his / her phone screen and that he / she is satisfied with the new screen. I would like to know where he / she bought that replacement part. in this online world.
It is just I am quite worried that I bought a faulty product. Ahem chinese products ahem. But I know some chinese product can indeed perform well, and thus, this thread.
So, do you have anything to recommend me? Whether it is a chinese product or branded, how do feel about your new screen? Would you drop me a link to buy it?
I bought mine on Amazon from Sony. As expected it worked fine.

where can i get a replacment screen i dropped mine and its now bust please help thx in advance
Ooops!
Hi, I did the same and the people at O2 replaced it for £70
Not too bad, and I got a new casing as well!
Adam
thanks will give them a try
No they don't!!! already checked with them and be sure to check out the other forums relating to this topic BEFORE you go further - check whether it is just the touchscreen or the whole screen that needs replacing saves you time and money as others have made this mistake!!! I think the £70 price is if you are a U.K O2 contrated owner, cause they told me it was double this price and I was just needing my touchscreen replaced as it was scratched up!!
Hi,
I have a new XDA which basically doesn't work because something in the circuitry is broken and it doesn't make any sound.However eveything else works(what I mean is the phone bit doesn't work,but the PDA side of it does).
What that means is that the screen and other physical external parts are in perfect working order.
So if you are looking for a screen or any other major part,I could be persuaded to part with it at a reasonable price.
DO let me know in this forum and we can arrange things from there.
screen
Hi,
My screen was broken also, did a huge search through the internet and came up with nothing. The only thing that could be replaced was the touch screen, not the lcd screen. I had to sent it back to o2. Cost: 284 Euro!!!!!
It's been 3 weeks now, and I'm still waiting for my phone :shock: .
Succes,
Stefan
The LCD screen and all the physical parts are perfectly ok on my XDA.So someone can make a tidy saving by taking the XDA off me in case their screen is broken.
Any takers please contact me at [email protected]
hm
and how much do you want to have for your broken xda?
I wouldn't like to drive this.Offer me a price and I will let you know if I do accept the price.
But no point asking me to part with it for €50 or something as ridiculous as that as I already have an offer for €75 and am waiting for something better.As I said all the parts are in perfect order and there are no scratches or anything like that.So you get a safety net of all replaceable parts.
I am open to offers on this one.
I was thinking about this and maybe half of what O2 charge to replace the screen is a fair price? On top of the screen,you will get the exterior casing,buttons,stylus the ROM,everything. So I think it is a fair price.Let me know if anyone's interested.
bbanduser
I would be interested in your xda
mail me on [email protected] if you like
Thanks
Martin
Hi Martin,
I have sent you a mail at the mail address you mentioned in your post.
My XDA is no longer available as it has been sold to Martin.
Thanks for the interest guys.
I was carrying a heavy box today against my body, I must have jammed a corner into my tilt, because afterwards the screen is all white with a black spot. I am pretty sure it is a cracked LCD.
1. Anyone have any advice on getting service through ATT? I heard they had a 30 day no questions asked policy. It is obviously a cracked screen, pretty sure they wouldn't deal with that.
2. It was paid for on a visa, do they have something I can take advantage of?
3. Where is a good/cheap place to buy the replacement parts? I am not too worried about digging in and fixing it myself.
4. What are my options for paying someone to fix it? HTC, ATT, or otherwise?
I really appreciate your help, I am terribly aggravated with myself for break it. Just trying to minimized the damage right now.

1. They will charge you for breaking it.
2. No, you can only dispute a charge if they didn't hold up their end of the bargain, you broke the phone, its your problem now.
3. I dont know
4. I believe they will charge a lot, but still less than a whole new phone. See how much it costs and then also see how much you can get on eBay for your broken one and how much a new one will cost you.
Good luck, I had the same luck as well, wasnt even a week of having my tilt and it fell in a bunch of clothes and had a small crack the slowly did the same results of your screen, I had to go through hoops to get a replacement from AT&T, not my most favorite people to say the least.. :-\ Just got my replacement yesterday as the phone died Monday.

Ya, they will charge you with either buying a refurb phone, let you get a junky replacement phone if you cant afford it, or 3, raise hell with 611, and in the local AT&T athorized store you bought it from.
I've seen a few replacement screens on ebay if you have the guts to take your phone apart you could try one of those.

regarding 2, I heard that visa offers some sort of protection plan for items purchased with it. I wasn't planning on back charging it.
I was unable to find any screens on ebay, but I'll keep looking. I found a replacement service for $170.
Here is a link to a screen that i found on ebay.

That doesn't look like too bad of an option. I need to read about what is involved to install it. I think i have seen some posts of people have issues even after replacing the screen (incompatability?).
Also, that is in Hong Kong, yuck. Perhaps I can find one that is in the US and includes the tools required.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though.
I just purchased this screen:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...em=270204431330&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI
Does anybody forsee any issues replacing it? I found directions online.
I actually changed my mind about repairing the screen myself after reading the directions. It seems risky that I'd break it myself.
1. Do you recommend I get a 3rd party to repair it? Pocket pc techs is an option ($170)
2. I called HTC today, they said screen replacement starts at $193. I am guessing that it is worth the extra $20 to have it done by HTC, perhaps it won't void the (rest) of the warranty?
-Dan
It costs 142 US dollars for screen replacement in India's service center.
plus servicing charges of 20 US dollars.
If I sell this tytn II as a used piece (after replacing the screen), it will fetch me 300 US dollars.
Why the hell is this screen so expensive.
when will HTC stop looting WM lovers.
there are other screens ive seen cheaper. but sorry i forgot the website =/. go look around google or something.
You'll find them for about $80 on ebay. LCD's have always been expensive, nothing new...
you tried ebay mate?
however, if you do get a screen, do not try and install it yourself, let someone experienced do it as HTC's are difficult to take apart and put together, trust me, i learnt the hide way trying to install a screen on my old Artemis....

Bah, its not that hard!! Just follow the instructions of Mike Channons page, hes got all the service manuals. I've had devices completely to pieces and re-assembled them using those instructions. Its all good as long as you follow them exactly (and have a really tiny torx). You've gotta learn somewhere!
haha i would still have a professional do mine
I need to replace a customer's TYTN II LCD. Another phone shop in my city (Brisbane, Australia) says they can sell me a screen, but they need to know the serial number of the broken screen because apparently, there were 20 different LCDs used in the TYTN range and I have to install a new LCD with the same type of serial number.
Questions:
1. is this correct?
2. I was very close to buying from blackberry8100parts.com but it looks like they only sell within the US. Anyone got them to sell internationally?
I plan on buying the screen from ebay, unless someone can convince me otherwise.
I wouldn't believe 20 different screens, but for many HTC phones (Blueangel, Wizard,..) there were each time 2 different possible screens indeed, not compatible of course. Don't know if it's also the case for the Kaiser.
I couldn't find another topic regarding broken screen so decided to make this one.
Yesterday I broke my screen . The phone is working, but the screen not at all. Several phone repair shops offered me to fix it for 85-110 pounds. Does it worth it ? A friend of mine said to me that the replaceable screens are not as good as the original ones. If that's the case any idea how much can I get for it if I sell it like that with the broken screen? Best offer I saw was with EE recycle for 60 pounds... Any info is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Well i think its better for a professional to replace the screen, but you can tried it yourself if you know how. You can get parts really cheap and there are a lot of videos on yt on how to do it. But still I would rather let a professional fix it
So I have had a Nexus 6 with a broken LCD sitting in a drawer for a while because screen prices (in addition to Motorola repair options) are much more than I would like, in addition to the phone running a custom ROM with an unlocked bootloader. So today I decided to look on ebay and screen prices are still pretty high, except this one.

Looks like this guy got his hands on one of those prototype LCD assemblies. I'm not sure who would part out and sell one of these but, here it is. I was wondering if this was worth a try or if I should just leave it dead in my drawer. The dude doesn't seem to know what he is selling but, mentions the ribbon cable is a bit short. If anyone can guide me on this, I would appreciate it.
EDIT: Meant to say Prototype rather than Developer, my apologies. If a mod wants to come through and fix the title, that would be great.
Thanks, TriguyRN

Assuming you can do the repair yourself, I would just shell out the extra bit of cash to get a legit LCD. But, if you want to take the risk to save a buck, nothing is holding you back. It did say something about flex cables being different, in which case you would have a bit of trouble. Cheers!
