noobie confused about cracked screen

I bought a att tilt used with a broken screen. Thing is the lcd screen looks fine as in i can see the hole screen(no broken pixels or anything). But it seems its cracked below the front glass as i cant feel the cracks. So basically I am asking if the only parts to the display are the lcd screen and the touch screen and the front glass? Cause since it doesn't seem the lcd screen is broke no reason to buy both. And wondering if the touch screen and front glass are two different pieces also.
Thanks for any help.

thanks for the help ...............

You only need the touch panel but you will need to solder 4 end of touch on screen. Also, use 4 scrooves method as it is quicker and faster to get to the screen.

the whole screen can be easily replaced for about $60 for a new screen. just need to disassemble the Tilt, there is a guide around here somewhere on how to do it.

Do I need a whole new screen or just a digitizer?

So I dropped my Tilt today and there are several big cracks through the glass front. The phone works fine and I think the LCD screen is alright. I think the cracks are just in the glass part and the LCD is fine but I cant tell. One thing for sure is that the touch response is all messed up and I can't align it. I see digitizers on ebay for cheap. Is that the glass part that is cracked? Can I just get that or do I need a whole screen assembly?
Thanks

I tried to change digitizer but it is a mess you need to weld it to the display and it is not so easy (I'm not an electronic technician), additionally it comes sticked all around the display border so it is hard to clean the display boundary to stick the new digitizer and also it is hard to remove the old digitizer because it is to weak to remove it in one piece. For this reason, at least for my experience, I rather prefer to change the display and digitizer together so you don't have to fight with the removal, welding and sticking the new digitizer. Hope help you take decission.

Replacement used screen?

Hi y'all.
I am devestated. This morning my N1 hit cement. The glass is cracked in the bottom right corner and on the top left. It doesnt affect usability, but definitely affects me.
I was looking for replacement glass on ebay. There are glass/digitizers combo but they dont seem to be made by HTC. I have 3 questions
1) Do the glass/digitizers on ebay perform well?
2) Is it possible to swap in a used screen from a dead N1? DO i need the adhesive strips etc
3) DOes anyone have glass to sell?
thank you all. I am an adult man, and I am honestly really bumbed

Does anyone have any experience with this supplier?

1. Yes. I have purchased 7 for mytouch 4g from ebay and amazon with no issues (they work). I got 1 that had 0.15mm (I'm talkinreally small) bubble but it caused no issue and could only be seen by close inspection with the screen off
2. yes...from a dead N1 I would think it easier to swap the main board and avoid lcd/touchscreen removal from the frame...if you remove the lcd/touchscreen from the frame an adhesive (3m double stick tape is commonly used) will be needed.....place don't use glue...out makes a huge mesa and is entirely unneeded overkill
3. Ebay... Under thirty bucks....some local repair shops do this repair fir $20 + parts
Oh yeah. Glass swap is easy(but I do electronic product refurbishing fora living)..take your time as the cables and connectors can be delicate. You must also be careful not to get dust between touchscreen and lcd or fingerprints inside the touchscreen

Ok great. I have found some OEM ones on ebay and that seems like a good direction.
Is there a write-up anywhere of how to use the doublesided sticky tape so that the screen lays down into the frame perfectly?
Thanks for your reply!!

To apply tape I
1.remove old adhesive from frame
2.remove protective plastic from touchscreen (lcd side)
3.lay touchscreen on table finger side (the side that faces out) down
4.place strips of adhesive (double stick tape) onto touchscreen black border region (leave aprox 0.2mm gap from visable area)....do not cover flash, front cam or light sensor areas (if applicable)
5.place touchscreen with lcd side down
6.you can now user razor blade to trim excess along the the edge of touchscreen
I have never doe a n1...only mytouch4g and hd2 but I am sure it is practically the same
Dust is not much of am issue....you will probably introduce more dust trying to clean our blow out the dust....you can buy that antistatic air spray (this may be helpful but but needed if carful)

Also make sure you get the right one. There is the OLED and the LCD one...
You can see which you have from the back of yours (not sure if there is another way to find out) I bought the wrong one for mine so if you need the LCD one, drop me a line...

Replacing broken screen/digitizer

Guys,
I broke my screen, the LCD is good but the digitizer doesn't work. Aparently, this phone works differently from olders phones in which you can replace only the digitizer, but not this one since are fused together.
My question are:
Where can I buy one that WILL work? (i bought one in ebay and was faulty)
Will any LG G2 screen fit the VS980 (D805, D802, etc)?
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks!

If you haven't already got one, you can get it at repairsuniverse - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/lg-g2-lcd-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement-black-verizon.html
The repair is a little delicate in that you have to completely disassemble the phone and pry the screen out. You don't need a proper heat gun, a hair dryer will work just fine. One problem to be aware of: the screen really needs to fit flush against things otherwise the proximity sensor (top left of screen) will think that something is near it all the time and will make the screen turn off and you'll struggle to get it on again. They supply you with double-sided tape and it sorta-kinda works if you're careful. Pro tip: don't do what I did and unseat the newly-installed screen without heating it - you'll damage the screen. Also, superglue seems to do bad things to the screen. I now have a fully functioning digitizer with a screen that looks like hell. YMMV.

I am also in the same boat, having dropped it this past weekend. LCD works, not digitizer.
Any thoughts on replacing just the digitizer/glass vs. getting the whole assembly with the LCD? Seems significantly more dificult, considering the heat gun/glue assembly and only about a $30 difference between the two methods based on ebay prices.

Any suggestions on getting this LCD vs. one from ebay that is also pre-attached to the frame and comes with tools? They seem identical otherwise.

Hi,
I have some experience since I replaced twice mine lol xD
There're no good quality screens (they are all copies, no OEM screens) and all 3 that I got from 3 differentes vendors suffers from yellowish spot on the lower left corner (its not my phone that has an issue, one screen actually was a phone that I bought on ebay and had the screen replaced and still suffered from that) and others from misalignment. Here's a pic that I had to send to an ebay seller to prove them that their screens were ****:

And got the money back at least.
The digitizer and the lcd are fused, so if you try with digitizer/glass and screen apart, you'll have to buy optical glue in order to fuse them, if not you'll end up with two things glued together that looks awful.
If you go with the whole assembly, its luck to have one that works, so you'll have to be patient and asume that you may receive an awful screen. Luckly, ebay protect you, so if you're not in a hurry you can test until you grab the working one.
Any question if I can help, just le met know.

Broken screen. Halp

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.
