[Q] Broken LCD Glass :(

Anyone know where I can get a replacement LCD glass for my Desire HD
I believe it's just the glass as the screen seems to still work.
If there's a place in or around London that can replace it for me even better, if not anyone know how difficult it is to replace.
I've noticed a few places on Ebay (China/HK) selling digitizers and complete LCD's but ideally I want somewhere in the UK.
thanks
Elliot

Hi,
I went through a similar experience less than 2 weeks ago, you can even see images here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834335
I rang around several places, none could commit to using GENUINE HTC parts. The only people I found were: www.htcrepairs.co.uk/ - and they even offer a walk in service whereas I found most others did not.
Unfortunately they don't have the parts I require in stock, maybe you can try them.
At the moment, they're the only people I've found in the London area that I'd be willing to give my phone in to...
Did you have any luck with finding anyone else?

Maybe contacting HTC? They can probably repair it for you but it can be pretty expensive though.
Maybe you got some pics?

You could try, as said above, get the glass/screen from eBay.
Repaired my SE K800i with it, where the glass could easily be removed and the new one could be installed within 5minutes.
Don't know how the HTC will disassemble though.

I'm going to try this place on the way home from work: http://www.spsmobile.co.uk I'll let you know how they go. They've got the parts and will charge me £60 for either the lcd or digitzer including fitting.

Here's some pictures. I think they'll get away with just fixing the glass, although it looks bad the lcd still seems to work ok.
Can anyone recommend a case surround?

How did it go?
Did they fix it whilst you wait, or retain the device to work on for a day or two?
More importantly, are they using genuine HTC parts ?

They fix while you wait, they're near Staples Corner (which is a bit of a walk from the tube at Brent Cross).
I need to go back tonight as they messed up and thought I had a Desire and not a HD, they're hoping to get the HD part in today, they're charging me the Desire price.
According to their website they use official parts, but who knows.
Warranty
* We give 3 months warranty on every repair excluding liquid / water damage and physical damage
* Every warranty handset is security sealed. Tampering with the security seal will void the warranty LCD / SCREEN warranty. We fit original screens only and they are security labeled
* Every handset is tested for 24 hours and comes with engineers report

I plan to visit these SPS guys tonight. Lets hope they manage to fix my phone.
I'm hoping to wait around so I can ensure genuine parts are used...

SPS didn't manage to get a Desire HD digitizer for me, they've got 1 on order. They're a little difficult to find (at least they were in the dark) they're behind Staples industrial state, in room 207, small little office. They seemed ok though they.

I'm back!
Got my Legend fixed earlier this evening by these guys: http://www.spsmobile.co.uk/
They were one of few who were adament they use genuine parts [they allowed me to inspect the parts before installation] AND allowed me to wait whilst they work on it.
Abolutely disgusting/poor customer service and general attitute towards their customers... though the main thing is my Legend is all well again !
Oh, it cost £70 for display + digitizer + installation.

Crack my screen please help!!!

I bought a Sensation and the other day my screen cracked when I dropped it, so i bought a screen digitizer replacement but it did not come with instructions =[
I'm freaking out because I have no idea how to do this and I spent 45 dollars to replace it! Can someone please help!? PLEASE! =[

That shows me the connector strap....but all is not lost.
I opened mine.
There's two small screws up top on either corner.
Two just below the battery pocket on either side and two on the bottom corners.
It looks like there may be a hidden one in the battery pocket,next to the contact terminals,under a round dot sticker.
They look like they may be #4 Torx head .. just a guess.
Get those out [remember their positions] and it should be fairly easy.

take it back to the shop and get it fixed?

If you lived in the Oklahoma City area I'd say bring it in to my shop & I'd get you all fixed up(I'm a phone/computer/game console repair tech) but I dunno what area you're in, so... Replacing screens is generally pretty easy but I REALLY recommend you take it to a phone shop if you don't know how to do it. These phones are extremely delicate & you could break it VERY easily with one wrong move. But if you insist on doing it yourself, this should hopefully help you out some with getting it apart- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG7gt1EnN3w It's kind of fast & ****ty, but it's the only teardown vid I could find.
FYI- digitizers are stuck on with special double-stick adhesive that holds it in place over the LCD, so make sure the one you bought came with a new piece of adhesive because you can't reuse the old one(unless you're VERY careful) & the screen won't stay on w/o it. You'll wanna use a heat gun on a low setting or a hot hairdryer to get the old digitizer off too. And of course, be mindful of dust.

I just did exactly this repair and took some footage while doing it. Excuse the crappy voiceover.
On youtube.com go to watch?v=T5bWl73O9ss Or just search for HTC Sensation Screen Repair
Apparently my old account was disabled so I had to sign up again. Now I can't post a single URL. Hope someone else can make that linkable.

if you've never done that before, I suggest (as I do to all my customers to save pain and money) find someone with knowhow, and kindly ask to look over their shoulder. this has worked for me on many many occasions. I know know how to windshield chip repair for one (although completely unrelated)

HTC Sensation Screen replacement

Hey guys, New to the HTC sensation threads (its my Girlfriends phone)
Got her this phone about 6 months ago - 1 week after having it she dropped it and broke the digitizer anyway i got that fixed at my local phone shop with aftermarket digitizer - it worked well but you could tell it was not genuine.
anyway the other week i dropped it and broke the lcd screen yet the digitizer is fine and the phone is still 100% useable - except the display looks awful.
Does anyone know if this is an easy fix, is it worth fixing myself or taking it to the phone shop - Im embarrassed to go back and explain how it has broke again lol.... But i need to get it fixed, Im so close to having my wang removed by my girlfriend.
I was wondering whether or not HTC themselves would repair it ? and maybe replace the digitizer too, I dont mind paying the extra £££ for genuine parts and to be fixed by genuine HTC repairmen..
Any ideas how i can get out this mess ??
sorry for the long post.
Thanks

Off course HTC will repair it, but it'll take longer and probably charge you a lot more than what you can it fixed for.

Out of curiosity do you/your girl not put the phone in a case or something?

Haha, no i did not.. But as soon as i get it fixed im gunna invest in a bulletproof / bombproof carbon kevlar box and keep it locked inside it !!!

Was it bought through a carrier or sim free? Could always take it to your carrier and see what they suggest, although they're not normally the cheapest, but at least it should get done properly.

Yeah i got it through vodafone, I think i will give them a call and see what they say.
I was considering taking out insurance, then in a few days call them and tell them its broken, This is risky.... what do you think the odds are with me getting away with it ?
Do you think they would notice the aftermarket digitizer ? It is an exact replica with HTC on it....
these damn phones are so fragile.... I miss the old nokias

No, you won't get away with it, and it's dishonest, anyway. Don't make yourself a criminal over a cell phone.
Now, that being said, check Ebay. There are lots of vendors in the UK and elsewhere (lots here in the US) that sell replacement screen kits, many of which include instructions and tools.
If you're handy with small tools and careful, you can do this yourself for a fraction of what it will cost you to have it done. I learned this when my kid's iPod battery died some years ago. They're not user replaceable, and Apple wanted some outrageous amount to do it, plus you had to send it away. I found a guy on line that sold batteries with tools and directions, and in 20 minutes, she was good as new.
Pays to do it yourself.

I totally agree with you !! i do not want to result to fraudulent behaviour... BUT, i dont want to pay approx £80 for parts and make the whole situation worse by possibly making more damage.
BUT i also dont want to pay approx £150 - £200 thinking i could of fixed it for much less by doing it myself.
I am good with stuff like that and am very gentle and careful..... but i dont believe in myself lol

I recently replaced mine. Its not too terribly hard to do. But you have to get it just right. Currently the digitizer is a bit slow and unresponsive at time but I think i didnt get it in there completely right. So I'm going to dissaimble is again today and get it suck in better and see of that helps

Since the Sensation screen is made by two different manufactures is it possible to mix and match them or do you have to replace the screen with the same one with phone came with? I have a Sensation that needs a LCD that I have not taken apart yet. Im wanting to get the better screen but im not sure if I can just put the better screen in it if thats not what it came with in the first place.

Well it's much better to replace it with the same display just to be sure it's going to work. There's also a side by side comparison of the Sharp and Acer (AUO) displays
That said, you can check what panel you have using the instructions on this thread:

The display on my phone is completely destroyed so I cant use terminal emulator to look it up :-(
EDIT: I was doing some research on the part numbers on the back of my screen and I found this thread...
http://pdaclub.pl/forum/sensation/dziwny-kurz-pod-dotykiem/
Post #8 has my same part number as mine (74h02057-00M) listed and in the same sentence AUO. So I have to assume it had the AUO screen which kinda sucks.

I dont even have a battery for it at the moment. When the battery arrives ill check it out. I have a feeling im not going to be able to get ADB working though.

I bought this!

Ill let you all know how it turns out....

Well I got the screen and digitizer from the link above today. Installed it and its perfectly fine. No lag anywhere, registers touch like the stock one did. The LCD panel seems to be the same quality as the AUO panel but thats fine with me since im pretty sure this phone came with the AUO from the factory. If you do decide to replace your screen and digitizer i suggest getting them as separate pieces. Having them attached to each other made it sorta difficult to get back together cleanly.

well the day after i got it fixed i knocked it off the side onto tiled flooring, it cracked the lcd but not the digitizer... so weird lol
anyway since then i have had some signal issues with my provider, they have established that the handset is faulty, they are collecting it to repair it.
I still havent had the screen fixed so im just going to see what happens when they go to repair it, Maybe they will think they broke the screen and fix it before returning it to me. Or maybe they wont.... if thats the case i will argue with them that it was fine before they took it away from me
after all, they must have 100's of these phones in boxes gathering dust in their warehouse(s) so a little arguing and im sure i will get it fixed / replaced.
Shhhhh Moms the word !!!

Screen replacement problems

Hey everyone,
I recently bought my HOX at my local AT&T store about a month ago and managed to drop within the first 2 weeks I had it, and break both the glass and LCD. I went on ebay and bought both the LCD and glass together and installed it on my phone with no luck. Screen is totally black with no response. Everthing else works flawlessly, vibrator, capacitive buttons, and speaker. The aftermarket LCD screen's cable was straight so I had to make a fold in it like the original cable was. I worry that that might be what the problem is, though I highly doubt it. I would appreciate it greatly if someone could give me some advice on what I should do at this point. Return the LCD and glass or try something else. Thanks

Welcome, search the forum. Long story short, call HTC and have them fix it for ~$220

If you signed a contract when you bought the phone and are still within 30 days, I would just have AT&T add insurance to your line and make a claim for it.

no :-/

Try both the old one and the new one without placing it into the housing...
The problem you will face most is with the LCD strip which has to be inserted fully in the slot..
Which is very difficult to do so and needs lots of time on it...
see some Replacement videos on Youtube. It do show you step by step guide on replacing the LCD..
Just place the battery and all the connectors and try powering it on b4 inserting it into the housing..

May be its an Hardware issue...
Try plugging in the display alone not the digitizer cable..

Yeah i think the new LCD is broken. With a flashlight i can see Android on the screen
So i think the backlight is broken. So i will repair the phone with a new Display and Digitizer Unit. Right?

I tried the same thing, but mine was just the glass. Forget about trying to separate LCD from glass, really you are not that skilled (any of you!). anyway, It was about 45 days after receiving my HOX and I called ATT and just told them what happened and that my phone was in 1000 pieces, said I now have a contract and no phone (though I was much more miserable and depressed sounding at the time). She said "no problem, I will just toss out this old contract and we will start from scratch" It cost me another $99 but they sent me a brand new phone. I was shocked. First time a carrier ever made me smile (other than running LTE Speed Tests)

[Q] busted digitizer (i think)

Hi,
About 3 weeks ago my nexus 5 got wet, I dried it quickly and it seems to be ok, except not touch.
The screen is ok Wi-Fi 3g all is working.
I could not find anywhere how to replace only the digitizer (adding the screen is quite expensive).
Anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks.

You can only replace the whole screen (digitizer included), not seperately. Look on YouTube for iFixit video`s for how to replace it if you want to do it yourself.

Hi, Thanks for your answer.
That part i know, however it's quite expensive and i have a new device so i'm in no hurry.
Do you think that in the future there will be a seperate digitizer?
