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!

Hi,
My puppy decided he liked the look of my Kaiser and decided to have a chew on it, resulting in a cracked LCD screen, and teeth marks in the front cover and battery cover.
anyone have a suggestion where the best place for spare parts is??
I'm located in Australia.
thanks

Hi there ,
you may want to search the forum as many people had problems like yours (maybe not because of a dog though ). Try keywords like "spare parts kaiser".
Here is an example of an other post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333670
By doing this, I am sure you can find some good adresses (like here, here, here). You may want to simply try eBay as well.
CNN.CN
Duezeff is correct, I've had the best luck with cnn.cn in finding parts. At the time i was only interested in one LCD screen for a friend and saw that there was a discount for buying in bulk. Now I wish I had done so and set up my own little shop. Also, pay attention to what you're actually purchasing (which part of the touchscreen you are getting) and whether it is new or from a used phone.
Use Mike Channon's guides to disassemble and reassemble your phone and you should be set. it is very easy to do.

Is there an Ebay in Australia? Always a good source of parts.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
EBay came up trumps, and my new LCD screen, digitiser and Case are on the way from Hong Kong.

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.
Greetings,
I am planning to buy a replacement screen for my Z1, so that I can replace it myself.
I have 2 choices:
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/sony-xperia-z1-replacement-lcd-touch-screen-assembly-black-original/
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/sony-...lass-assembly-with-frame-black-original-4419/
The second one includes the frame. Which one is easier to replace, are there any advantages or disadvantages?
Also have you ever used the e-shop? I have read good reviews about it and since it is in EU I don't have to pay any tax.
Thanks for you responses.

from my experience of rebuilding this handset ide go for the link below the reason why i say this not only you don't need to pick and clean the glue from the glass and frame so the glue is stuck right to bond to create a water tight seal this is all done for you and the lcd is fitted by them so not a lot can go wrong for the price of a couple of £ more what would cost about the same
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/sony-...lass-assembly-with-frame-black-original-4419/
but if your a hands on person and like a challenge with the thought is it water tight then i'm also all for the other link
i am not to sure about the shop tho but i will be saving it in my list of favs as it looks like a good shop you found

Thanks for your reply, I already ordered the one with the frame....should arrive shortly after easter, so I will post feedback on the shop here afterwards.
In a nutshell I have this today:
It's my first day with my phone. I cannot use any case because in my country (Turkey) it's impossible to find any cases. I bought some but they will be delivered at least 1 month ago.
So is there any-where to find a replacement part for my back cover? I asked it to Oneplus itself but they told me that they don't sell spare parts. I looked into ebay but there's not any of it.
I know it's not a big thing but I have a big OCD problem. And it looks like a disaster to me.
ANy help will be appreciated.
I've seen many parts on eBay for OnePlus 3 but no replacement back cover yet. They have everything else though like front glass, vibration motor, battery, antenna, speaker, camera cable.

Ouch, I feel your pain dude.. I would suggest maybe covering it up with a skin for the time being and when they do start making replacement backings eventually, get one then..
two months ago, seen at Aliexpress, price was around 70$, but now item is not available. Just contact with CS and ask how much they will charge for back housing replacement at RMA.

Try one of these in the meanwhile. I'm sure you'll find a combination that suits your style!

Im sure trying to replace it on your own will cause more damage to the device because you can mess up adhesives, screen, other internals & etc
And when they say they dont sell parts it means you will endup with a cheaper manufactured backcover that is not even original. Just keep the device as it is those two dots shouldnt bother you
I'll bough 2 original cases. I think it will be ok when I get them.
By the way on the teardown videos of OnePLus 3 it looks pretty easy to remove the back cover. No adhesive or something. Just removing the bottom screws will do the job.
Man, i had the absolute same problem. When i unpacked my OP3, the charger fell out of the xox and hit the phone on the absolute same place on the bezel
I sold mine on ebay the other day and ordered a new one.
it's really simple to disassemble op3. two screws, and back cover is removed. no glue, ect.

Thank you but it's not original. It's just a chinese copy.

That's kind of a funny comment as the OEM is a lower cost Chinese company.

On the other hand chinese market produce fake/copy parts for their own companies too.

I know I'm late here but how do you guys suggest it would be possible to produce fake back housings at the price they are charging for them? I mean how many people would realistically buy parts exclusively made for one device, and an oneplus 3 at that? A few thousand people at most? If this is the case I don't think it would be financially viable to make any sort of production line for these parts. Aside from stealing original ones from the factory, or mabye defective ones I don't see how they would produce such a limited quantity for so cheap unless they are originals? Any insight?
There are many options for the back cover. The back on my Oneplus 3 was damaged but not as bad as yours. I was planning to replace my back but all i had was a tiny scratch so it wasn't worth it. I will change it when my back is really messed up. When you search for the cover on ebay just search for battery cover You can tell most fakes as they don't have the oneplus logo and for a different colour, try to get one with the sim card tray. Try to get a cover near Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangdong that's where the Oneplus headquaters is. There's also a midnight black cover as well!
