So as many out there I broke the phone screen.
It only broke the outside glass, the screen itself still works fine, except for a little blue area/dot (screen as been broken for months so probably moister got it)
I'm not certain of what to buy (I do want a new screen with no blue dot) as prices and product names are very confusing
I'll probably buy this aliexpress
Is this the whole screen?
Does anyone recomends something else?
I replaced the whole screen including the frame. I'm happy with it. No touch issues and multitouch passed with 10 fingers. I bought this one.

I have a kaiser with a cracked LCD screen... and i was looking on ebay for replacement parts...
this seems to be one of the cheapest ones i can find that is also in the United States and not in hong kong...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150273701038&fromMakeTrack=true
but im confused about... one thing.... whats the digitizer?.... do i need one?... does that auction contain the digitizer.... and is the digitizer and the "touchscreen" the same part?...
i had to do this myself i bought a screen with digitizer included.
The digitizer is the touchscreen layer over the top of the normal screen, not sure how easy it would be replace the touchscreen without the digitizer as its flex appears to be glued to the back of the touchscreen, and the screens don't cost much more with it pre-atatched.
I replaced my ugly mda vario 3 case with a black htc case at the same time, since i already had to have every single component out of my phone to get to the touchscreen. its beatufull now.
I see... well... does the item in the auction include the digitizer?... it looks like a single peice.... and i dont know if the digitizer is already glued on it like you mentioned.....
for me it seems like there is everything included.... replaced my cracked screen 3 weeks ago and had all the same parts as mentioned here...
if your not sure ask the seller not me, the pic may not be the actual item.
Well the problem is that, I wanted to fix my HTC HD2 on my own, the glass broke, a day or two ago, so I started to carefully get it out, and when I got it out i realized i broke the flat connection thingy to the touch, therfore I wanted to hear if this was the right thing to buy, I took out the glass, and the black'ish plastic right behind the glass, so is this the right thing to buy or not?
mytrendyphone . com/shop/htc-hd2-display-22940p.html if it is not the right thing to buy, then please tell me what is the right thing to buy, I live in denmark, so a place the is shippin to denmark would be nizzle
Hi!
I'll try to help in case you havn't found a solution yet
I recently had a similar problem. I also broke my digitizer (touch screen, which sits ontop of the actual LCD) and needed a repalcement.
If i understood your post correctly then you broke the flex cable (i think it was flex) which connected the digitizer to the actual LCD. If so, then yes, your link is correct, however, the digitizer cable is SOLDERED to the LCD end (at least for the Europe models, i heard there was a "clip in" version for US models), therefore, if you aren't an experienced solderer (which i wasn't) or you don't know anyone who is extreamly good at it i recommend you buy a full set (LCD + digitizer). Search eBay for "LCD Display Screen + Digitizer for HTC HD2 HD II 2 Leo"
I ordered the same one & installed it, however, be careful when (dis)assembling the phone, especially when installing the LCD connector to the motherboard, i got it wrong the 1st time which resulted in the colors not to display correctly.
Hope this helps
Hey guys, I have just broken my diamond and I'm looking for a doner to repair mine.. My screen glass is cracked..
My screen works and the colours are not spreading..
My touch works and I can still use the device..
So I'm guessing there is glass between the digitizer and the actual display.
Would is be easier to repair it with parts from a doner phone or...
purchase this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FULL-LCD-Scre...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3363b4604e
And replace the whole screen assembly. That includes the full front as you see in the eBay picture...
You're right. There's a glass between digitizer and display... But they are all glued... it's a difficult work to reassemble everything...
Yeah I thought so...
The reason I posted this was to see if anyone had an old broken bricked diamond I could useas a doner for the whole screen..
Sent using RapidRead!
I tried the same but resulted in completely disaasebling the LCD. And was of no use later. I had to buy a new one. Better get a new on instead.
Yeah, I most likely will
I just asked here to see if I could get one a little cheaper, but then paying around £20-£25 for a brand new screen etc, which includes the screen, digitizer, glass etc...
What you see in the eBay pic is what I would be removing from a doner phone.
But also if I bought a new one from ebay that would then get rid of any scratches etc.
Although I've always had a protector on it from day one, it was bought second hand so there are some minute scratches
My son dropped my n1 and I heard that nasty sound...
Started as a small crack in top corner with a white strip extending down the side of the screen. Other cracks are visible and the screen got progressively purple around the cracks and is now almost dark. I cannot feel any cracks and the touchscreen works fine.
I don't want to take it apart before ordering the parts since it is still usable. Any way to tell which part is cracked? I've read the digitizer is plastic?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
Mine cracked a while ago, 18 months probably. I've never had any problem with the screen. If touch still works, just ignore it.
The digitizer is the screen and touch electronics built into one part. If you have a crack, you'd need to replace the digitizer (which again, is the screen).
Keep in mind it would take hours to replace. You also run the risk of other things not working correctly once you put everything back together. I've replaced the digitizer in an original Droid. Everything went [relatively] well. But it took several hours, and certain [fancy] stickers were not able to be replaced. Meaning, it looked like it had been disassembled.
You broke the amoled underneath the digitizer I'm sure of it. I know because I did the same thing last year (13 months ago actually) and I could see a small crack in the amoled (digitizer was still intact) the screen went purple then blue the next day then went totally black within a week. Although it might have been a worse crack on mine.
BTW: the digitizer on the nexus one is not plastic it's gorilla glass.
touchscreen works fine? then its probably not the digitizer
the crack itself might be the digitizer rather than the display but the way youre describing it, the ink of the screen is running? well, tough luck..
it might just be better to buy a new phone (or a cheap used n1)

Actually you can crack the digitizer (spiderwebs and all) and it will still work like new the only thing is you will be looking around the cracks to see the picture.
The N1 does not have gorilla glass, but it does have a hardended glass (gorilla is just a brand name for a type of treated glass).
And if you are getting discoloring, it is definitely the AMOLED or SLCD screen (depending on your phone). The digitizer is the actual touchscreen part. It can still function with the cracks, but you can usually feel that they are there. Both are replaceable, although, it isn't the easiest thing to do. I know HTC will replace the AMOLED screen for around $110 and they offer the advanced exchange program with it. I would assume similar prices for the digitizer (although, the definitely isn't your problem, unless both are cracked).
Hi there.
My Nexus S screen broke up and ill be thinking is that possible to replace?
The screen is fine but the glass went broken.
Where I can get new frontcover/glass or do I have to get whole screen at all
(screen and frontcover)
the exact thing happened to me just minutes ago, infact thats why I came here. I know they can be replaced, I've found a few options with a quick google search, now just seeing how cheap I can get the parts
They can definitely be replaced, the problem's just that many of the replacements don't work (or don't work with a specific batch of phones, I haven't actually gotten to the bottom of the problem yet). A friend of mine broke his screen too, so I ordered a replacement and when it arrived, the LCD worked but there was no touch recognition. I had it replaced, and the replacement assembly had the exact same problem. The seller told me there were 2 versions of the i9023 screen which are incompatible with each other and that he had sent me the right version the second time, but I don't know how much is to that as it didn't work... Here's the thread in which the issue is covered:
