In attempting to separate glass and lcd, I have made the lcd turn purple. A new lcd assembly is $150, and I went on eBay and found that a live demo phone was $130. Would it work if I put the good motherboard from the now broken phone into the live demo unit?

I dont know how it cracked - i just put it on desk, and when i returned, it cracked.
The screen is cracked in the upper part, and it's not working at all.
Do I need just a new screen or a screen and a digitizer?
Also, LCD+Digitizer sets on eBay, are they LCDs or AMOLEDs?
I bought SAMSUNG Galaxy S i9000 LCD Digitizer Screen + Housing so all i had to save was back housing back case and mother board. Changed it alli n less then 15 minutes. cost me like 80 bucks.

good choise...
i was try change screen its very hard... its was hard glued bottom side and breaked...
and i bought "SAMSUNG Galaxy S i9000 LCD Digitizer Screen + Housing" like you and very easy changed.
On HTC XL it is imposible to change digitizer only .I just try to repair myself and ruined semi usable phone with cracked but fully working glass. Touch digitizer screen and lcd are (unlike some other models) GLUED together.!.
So sellers who sell digitizer only for 30$ are essentialy fakers, not telling you that it is imposible to change Digitizer only. But for 30$ many try and both throw that money and render phone totaly unusable. So they must buy whole LCD +TOUCH assembly that is much expensive. now about 150$ .
TIP: If you have cracked SXL - use it that way if you can (like me 30day with almost no problems) or buy whole assembly. No middle here
I can also confirm this, I had a semi cracked screen, phone still 100% usable and changed the digitizer screen not realizing the LCD was actually attached to the digitizer. Phone is now completely useless. This leaves sites selling the digitizer replacements selling items that are useless. My only option now is to buy a new LCD and digitizer replacement for around £90 in the UK or buy a non HTC one for £55 from Hong Kong.

You can separate the digitiser from the LCD by heating the face of the phone with a hairdryer which softens the glue. You then run a non-marring pry tool around the phone to separate the two.
Messy with a very good chance of cracking the LCD, but it can be done. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585909
I guess the shopkeeper wasn't scamming me when he said the digitizer can't be remove on this set
Today I got accident and my screen cracked a bit. But, everything function normally(touch, LCD or screen). So the question: do I need replace screen digitizer(touchscreen) only or must replace both LCD&touchscreen?
I read somewhere, must replace touchscreen+lcd but in my case it is only cracked screen, LCD working fine.
Glass and LCD are glued together and those are also glued into frame. It's possible to replace screen by purchasing glass + lcd as 1 unit but this means you have to pry the old glass from the phone's frame.
What I did was I just bought frame + lcd + glass as 1 unit form Ebay. It's much easier and risk that you'll break something is much lower.
Thanks for info m8...

How to find the best replacement screen
Today my Nexus 5X screen has cracked. However the touch responses and the colours are still great. Just the front screen cracked.
Please let me know where to buy the genuine replacement for the screen? Are there any good sellers in Amazon? I want to replace it with an OEM part.
Replace the whole screen.
just buy 1 from ebay, original or not (i have not original one and works just fine)
1>your warranty is void
2>if you don't want to lose your warranty just sent it to LG ! .....bad idea!!! they want 160 euros!!!! the same thing happened to me
*160 euros cost in Cyprus
this is what i got is not original but works just fine!

sorry for my bad english i am from Cyprus
Hi all,
I was looking to replace a frame assembly w/ the LCD and digitizer on my phone as the LCD ended up getting a line of dead pixels. I originally ordered a replacement and it overheated my phone and didn't work properly as it wasn't OEM. Buying a brand new OEM assembly costs more than the phone is worth, so I figured I would buy another used phone and do the replacement that way. One of the phones I was looking at is Aaron Center locked, but great condition otherwise and the identical model. I'm thinking that the lock only applies to that board, so would swapping my current board to that phone's assembly work out? Thanks.
The display has nothing to do with network locks, only the motherboard and its firmware.
Hi there
The glass of my Nexus 6 broke 4 weeks ago and until now the screen was working well but from yesterday is completely dead (device and touch still work)
What I need to buy to fix this? (lcd panel, digitalizer, glass)
^ sorry for the crappy quality
The easiest is to buy a complete display assembly. That includes glass and amoled panel mounted together, preferably with the frame as well. Expect to pay around 70 dollars if you buy from China.
You may need new glue for the back - you can buy a cut out sheet of glue, or just a new back with glue on, it's not expensive.
My display assembly came without the speaker covers (the two tiny plastic bars). I transfered the old ones, but you can also buy them new.
