i have 2 spare xda 11 one is blocked and the other the screen is bugged up.
i want to change the screens so at least i have one phone working how do i fix or undo screen parts thanku someone please help dont want to buy another screen when i have 2 the same
Yo dude, the best thing to do would be to take the screen from the phone thats blocked n(coz no matter what, you'll never be able to use that phone anyway!!) and fix it into the one with the broken screen. If you do a search here, there are guides to taking apart an XDA II, and as long as you haven't got 10 thumbs, it should be fairly easy to do!!!
I've done this myself so I know it works, but the only thing you need to be wary of is there are two models of screen, just hope that both phones have the same model installed otherwise It could get a little more complicated!!

Replacing the screen
I am in a similar situation, I have an XDA2 with a broken screen and another one with a damaged bottom connector. I pulled them both apart to put the good screen into the one with a good mother board but to me the screen connector (the one that plug into the mother board) they look different. Just wondering if anybody has come across this. Cheers, Guito
I recently bought a HTC touch phone and i suspect it is a Chinese clone but i really dont know. They all look the same to me (the phones). After searching Xda it appears to be like the HTC Elf100 and dopod S1. Is there a definitive way to tell the exact model? The phone was purchased from a website called Deal Extreme.
I would like to know if it is possible to extract the ROM from the phone and save it onto my computer for back up.
More importantly (and the reason i am here) is that the screen is malfunctioning in that the colours are all very faded and there are black lines across the length of the screen wherever there is text or icons. There is a severe flicker when the backlight is set to anything other than full brightness. For the first three days the screen was crystal clear and the colours very vibrant. The only changes made were installing some third party softwares and applying a screen protector.
I have uploaded an image here:

I am trying to isolate the problem down to software or hardware. If it is hardware i will order another screen or digitizer and replace it and if it is software i will begin to look down that path, perhaps flashing the unit with more up to date ROM.
Tell us one thing, is the serial number in the following format? -> HTxxxGxxxxx, if Yes you have have original HTC Touch, if No, you have a nice Chinese clone.
If the back of the device underneath the battery looks like attached picture, you have the clone on your hands. you will have to ship it back to DX for replacement or repair.
Regards
Just from looking at the front of your phone, yes you have a clone
Yep CLone
OK Thanks for assistance. I have a clone here. DX offered to send me a replacement screen if i can locate one on their website. I would have thought they would know if they have one in stock but apparently not.
Can anyone think of a way to find what sort of a screen i would need to replace this one? I am told that the original HTC screen will not do, perhaps different pin outs.
Replacement screen
So i guess i am just sh#t out o luck then? The retailers can't find a replacement screen. Can the ridgy didge screen be modified to fit a clone?
Don't know. Since it's a clone they can have used whatever LCD, with whatever flex connector. But one thing for sure is that you wont be able to use original HTC Touch LCD.
Best option is to ship back to DX for replacement.

I am trying to replace the LCD screen on a 4G slide and I see there are two versions, a Sony and a Hitachi. The problem is that the part number on the broken screen doesn't match the part number of the Sony or Hitachi. I'm not sure what to do. I've Googled the part number on the broken screen and don't get any results. Has anyone seen LCD's other than the normal Sony and Hitachi? Maybe someone has a resource that would know which manufacturer this part number belongs to? The part number is: 83H00434-00. The serial number starts with: 2A4A. An y help or advice is greatly appreaciated.
Thanks,
Ed

In my post I pasted the kernel source that references the screen - maybe Sharp made a screen?
There was also this one:

Pretty sure those are the only threads we have on lcd stuff, excepting that awesome guide on how to replace it that was posted.
Anything recent, though, definitely could have slipped my notice.

Thanks for the info. I did look through both of those posts previously. I do see the Sharp referenced in the kernel code you posted, but I can't find any reference to there being one available for the 4G slide. Maybe I'll try and order the Sony first and see if it works. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong part number...I'm getting it from the silver backing that holds the screen. I'm pretty sure that's the right place. There isn't a part number anywhere on the screen itself, back of screen or ribbon cables that I could see. I guess I can match it up by appearance since the Sony version has that extra line on it and then go from there. I'd hate to waste money and order one that isn't going to work though. I have attached images of the screen and the silver backing in case anyone can see something I'm not.
This phone is an absolute nightmare to take apart without damaging the screen and now I have an LCD screen that doesn't match either of the available replacements. I've taken apart and replaced digitizers and screens (and other parts) on hundreds of phones and this one takes the cake. That sticky tape they use to hold the screen to the backing is insane. Luckily the LCD was already broken, because even with a heat gun and hair dryer I couldn't get the screen out without damaging it more. I definitely won't take on one of these again.
Sorry for the rant. :laugh: I do appreciate the help and info and if anyone else might have any ideas of why I have a different LCD part number and what replacement I should get, I'm all ears.
Thanks,
Ed

+1 to that!
Yea, the Sharp thing is just theory, never heard about it but that's what was in kernel source so... Dunno, could be referencing something else entirely.
Also, Dillalade took pics when he tore the phone down in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23115759
So, maybe you can see something that might help ya there, outside chance.
Never took one apart or got inside, so, limited help but if I can think of anything I'll toss it here.

if you want to know my experience with replacing the screen, read the final post HERE
i wouldnt suggest getting a sony if you have a hitachi, or vise versa
Hi!
I noticed my earpiece is not working at all and decided to disassembly my Relay. It was a shock for me, when I saw, that the part marked on red here: http://i.epvpimg.com/A6xZd.jpg
looks like that in my phone:
http://i.epvpimg.com/uTXBg.jpg
http://i.epvpimg.com/xlpvg.jpg
http://i.epvpimg.com/b4aWf.jpg
http://i.epvpimg.com/65U5d.jpg
(I am even wondering how is my phone working now...).
Could somebody give me a name of this part? And can it be a reason for not working earpiece, or should I disassembly my Relay "deeper"?
I found this: https://www.gounlock.com/details.php?itemId=8555
I was looking only on the length of this cable, so I'm still not sure if it's what I'm searching for.
That would be the main flex cable

Thank you for your answer demkantor.
The second post which I didn't read before helped me mostly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39598833&postcount=2
Could you confirm if the part I put with a link in 1st post is what am I searching for? I couldn't find anything for "main flex cable" in Google and also I don't think it's the same part.
And is it possible to change it without replacing the whole screen-part of the phone? The disassembly manual ended with same step I did.
Unfortunately I can't say for sure as I haven't yet torn this phone apart myself
I would recommend to pull out the broken cable and try to match it physically to the one you linked
Otherwise search out a thread that someone here has done this and ask if they can confirm
Best of luck!
When I had to replace a broken screen on my Relay, the replacment screen came with that cable, screen, digitizer and top case. If there are any more still being sold elsewhere, it might be easier to replace then entire top half of the phone. I had cost me $40 about a year ago, unfortunaglly I can't find it again listed on ebay. Good luck
Hi, I'm a new member to this forum! I've been looking for OPO's styleswap cover forever but it's near impossible to find it now in 2020. So, I looked around oneplus's forums and found the .stl file for the phone with the correct dimension. Maybe I can 3D print it?
I've never learn how to edit a mesh, or anything related to 3D modeling and was playing around with Fusion 360 (Apparently Undergrads can get a educational version so I used that) to edit the mesh so that only the back cover and the important hinges are intact. I've done the editing last year and posted onto the OnePlus subreddit, but the post was buried...
Attached is my Google Drive folder to the original .stl file that was used for some peripheral contest for the OPO (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-x-ultimaker-creative-contest.270990/) and the one that I've edited. I can't seem to fix the bottom left hand corner hinge as it was model in a way that Fusion will delete that face too...
I hope someone can help me check if this cover is acceptable, give me some advice on how to fix it and maybe help me improve on a bit?
