Hi i have got HTC diamond and i must've sat on it or something, but i have a few large cracks on the internal screen. Touch works fine i mean, everything is in working order, its jsut i have a massive cracks from one side to the other. I'm having trouble finding the right screen because there is the lcd panel with the htc logo and then theres another with just the screen. I want to replace it myself because can't be bothered going through the whole sending the phone off phase. If someone can redirect me to a plae i could get a screen for a reasonable price, that would be great.
Let it go... I'm actually having the same problem and there is one thing you need to know : you need to sold a connector from the LCD screen to the Touchscreen, it's not a connector that you can plug easily.. (((
I just bought a LCD screen and a touchscreen on eBay, but without this sold, it won't work as I would..
I have solder and the kit and if i can find a tutorial somehwere i'm sure it can't be that hard. You said you found it on ebay, do you have a name or maybe a link? how much did you pay? =-s

Hello Friends,
yesterday when i saw the screen of my xda exec i saw a big black spot on the centre of the screen, not sure how it happened. i can still make calls from the phone.
but now i want to figure out whether i'll need to replace touchscreen or the LCD or both but i dont know how to figure out which one is broken.
Any help will be really appreciated on this.

Chances are
if the touch capability is intact, it's your LCD. The opposite, where the screen looks fine, but the touch is gone, would be your digitizer. However, unless you know how to replace a digitizer, I recommend getting both, LCD and a digitizer in one unit, rather than attempt to assemble the screen yourself. Which, judging by your question, is likely to be the case.

I would only iterate what enigma1nz had to say . It's at least your LCD at fault, but buy both as one unit. Or, buy a Uni that guarantees a working LCD+Touch pad (ie, a Uni with only a broken broken mobo/usb/doesn't boot etc) from eBay or the like.
First of all, I would just take the screen part of the Uni apart and check all is tight when replacing, as if the LCD has no obvious cracks, it's very likely a rubber-strip contact or similar.
NB. If anyone is interested in purchasing a fully-working Uni (brand new casing), with a non-functional touch/digitizer (guaranteed working everything else incl. LCD), I'm about to put on eBay. (PM me)
Ok so i walked into my desk at work last week and cracked the LCD - i had already puchased a new digitiser as my screen was getting pretty scratched up so i figured i'd simply buy a new LCD and take the phone and new parts round the corner to my local phone shop who were happy to replace my screen and return the next day.. great.
Fast foward and now i have a BIG problem. The new LCD doesnt seem to work once the phone has booted. SO, when you turn the phone on you get the usual windows boot screen with the rom info in red in the bottom corner (im using Monx's latese 6.5 rom). After that though it all goes Pete Tong, when then alignment wizard starts the screen goes nuts, flickering like an old TV and not displaying a steady image. The guys at the store say the phone is damaged from the knock to the screen however before I did a hard reset and removed my sim and SD card the parts of the LCD that were still able to display the today screen etc were showing everything correctly and flicker free and even allowed me full touch control with the stylus.
I basically need some advice from people who know a thing or two about replacing Touch Pro screens. Despite what the shop guys say i suspect that my screen is not compaitble with my Touch Pro which is originally a UK Vodafone but i now live in Canada and got the new LCD from the States. The person who sold me the LCD said it was compatible with all Touch Pros & Diamonds, but then he would say that wouldnt he!
My options are either buy another LCD and hope that does the trick or bite the bullet and get a new crappy canadian contract and a new handset. please help me ive tried the search and cant find anything that helps me and im desperate for a solution!
Cheers
Its a LCD issue what you got, my guess is that the person at the store either gave you a faulty one or its a duplicate lcd,also cleaning the LCD connector with alcohol would be a good idea.Its very rare that in the Diamond/Touch Pro category the connector to get damaged.
I dropped my touch pro and cracked the screen in a few places. I think it works normally except for the screen, as it receives calls fine...
A new phone isn't in my budget right now. Does anyone know of a good place (hopefully in DC, MD or VA) that will supply or install a replacement touch screen?
(btw, no recent threads came up when I searched.)
Ebay!
Just looked, $30 including postage for a screen & digitiser if you are able to do it yourself.
How hard is it to replace a screen if it has surface damage? Is there anywhere i could find a walkthrough or help?
Shame man, its a tragedy of what happened to your phone...
Luckily its not too bad, and you may just be able to fix it. You can download the service manual for the phone here: http://htcwinmobile.blogspot.com/2009/03/htc-raphaeltouch-pro-service-manual.html
Just a note though, make sure you DO USE tweezers or something to get the speaker wires out of the way before snapping the enclosure back into position... I had to reopen the phone again, after powering it, to rejoin one of the little wires thats like a tenth of a millimeter thick DO NOT IGNORE ANYTHING THEY TELL YOU IN THE MANUAL. Oh, and what works well for the "plastic removal tool" is a cut out piece of plastic ice cream container. AGIAN, do not ignore anything in there... You are voiding the warranty permanently when you do it yourself (which you unfortunately have to).
Anyways, good luck!
I drop my phone also, but the screen didn't actually cracked! but I do have is problems with the screen in other ways! Sometimes I get a black screen when I turn on the phone and sometimes not, but when the screen turns on, it flickers a lot and have lines thru it. What suprises me is that sometimes I get perfect images on the screen (Which makes me think that the screen it's not damaged).
Any suggestion would be apreciated. Thanks!
3 days and still no answer from anyone! I would like someone to throw me ligth on this issue. I'm waiting for this to know exactly what I need to buy, before I start assuming things.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the LCD connector may have come unseated. You could open up the phone and make sure all connectors are firmly seated if you feel confident in your abilities.

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking on that also and wanted to take my chances opening the phone (oh god!).
BTW, I saw the $30 LCD Screen+Digitizer combo on ebay that Beeble referred to, but I'm not sure if it fits on the fuze (my model). What have come to my mind it's to buy also the front camera of the phone (like a thread on the kaiser) to mod the cell, in case I need to buy the screen+digitizer. I've search all threads about this issue but nobody has done it because it was too expensive for the result; I believe with this price it's worth it right now!
solved

I used Diamod (!) LCD and Touch Pro digitiser. Works perfect.
Much more cheaper
If your screen works fine sometimes, you most likely don't need to replace it. there's probably just a loose connection somewhere. If you really want to replace it though, there's an ebay seller with a really good deal. $20 for the screen and digitizer already glued into a new front body piece: http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-FUZE-LC...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3ef8817bf6 That one's for the fuze, but I think the seller has other models too. I'd definitely get the LCD and digitizer together or else you might end up like I did on my first attempt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584050

WOW! What a long way to get to the screen. Good luck for everyone who tries to dismount and mount the Raphael.

Thanks for the advise maxh,
I just wanted to let you know that a miracle just happened! my cellphone started to work just fine without even opening the phone! it has more than a week on this situation so I believe that it's exactly what you stated (the LCD conector became unseated or loose). Since it's still working, I have no need to open it! so I'll just wait until it becomes defective again and at that point just open it and tight up the LCD connector!
Anyway, I would love if somebody could make the mod that I was refereing to before (changing the screen of the fuze by the touch pro one) and see if it's possible to attach the front camera on the fuze.
Once again, thanks everybody for your opinions.
I got my new display+ digitizer on Ebay (65$) and replaced it, using the russian link mentioned above ( follow the exact procedure) , it took me 2 hours to do it, and after lot of patience it worked! My problem was the digitizer never worked fine, and after replaced it it worked like never before. If You are not familiar with repairs, it will be a mistake and waste of money to buy a display without digitizer. NOW, I have a small problem, my display has a NEW color, it's like color temp is WARM for this display, and COLD for my old display, AND COLOR level is lower, and the result is display without vivid colors, black like gray. Is there any way to change the DISPLAY color settings?
I cracked my screen (while it was in the pocket of my jeans). Anyone know where I can find replacement screen? Is it easy to change it?
Thanks

Thank you very much, I will look into this one.
screen seems to work fine, installation was not too hard. However, new screen acts little weird, as once phone is off, backlight turns off immediately, but you still can see image for few seconds under normal light, pixels show through, and then it fades away.
Look for an original AUO H380VL01 or HTC Touch HD Sharp matrix... It's reported to be compatible with our phone
cracked screen too

I installed mine today -after 6 months with broken screen- I bought lcd for HTC Touch HD T8282.It is far more cheaper than the acer one and fits perfectly.ebay item 290424248491.
The HD screen is the same of NeoTouch?
I've paid 70€ for a screen for newTouch, but your proposition is more good: 50€!!
Are you sure it's good for Acer? My touchscreen is OK...
Im using it since last friday. its perfect
I received my screen today, but it's difficult to open this mobile phone!
I remove 5 screw on sur back of the phone, but i don't know what remove

i have the same prob.... i dropped my phone and my screen blanked ....and i need another lcd .... i was thinking about what you did.... but if i'll get the HTC one the front of the mobile will be with HTC logo instead of the ACER one ...
right?
screen now fixed
I took my phone in to a local shop and they were able to change out the screen using an HTC HD screen (yes, the exact same screen as the neotouch). All is fine with the screen. They messed up the power button, but that is another story. I watched the guy do this and it seemed like a hell of a lot of intricate work to do yourself. I was happy to pay the $120. Now, I just need to return and get them to redo the power button (installed it incorrectly when putting it all back together).
For those adventurous enough- go for it, but I suggest the cheaper HD screen. And no, only the screen was replaced, which is under the touch screen/digitizer that actually has the acer logo. All looks as it did before.
I took my neotouch for a motocycleride in the rain. It didn't like it too much and now the touchfunction is messed up on parts of the screen. It all displays as it should but I can't use parts of the screen. I should be allright with just replacing the digitizer right? Ebay item Item number: 170518652337
Hi, the same for me.
Touch doesn't work on some area.
Need change digitizer or LCD?

Hi,
this didn't work in my case. After replacing my broken original lcd screen with a new lcd display (eBay - No. 120608475783, Original HTC Touch HD LCD Display T8282), I can see that the display is switched on, but it doesn't seem to receive any signal (like you turn on your pc monitor but not the pc). Now I have two questions:
1.) If only the lcd display is broken - should I still see something on the display? Because on my broken display, I only have a black and a white part and some coloured stripes, mostly where the display is broken.
2.) Is it possible that there is something more broken on my NeoTouch or did I simply receive a broken lcd panel? It did fall off the couch, completely flat on the display.
fyi: the new lcd was missing some isolation (on the flexible part with some electrical components) which was present on my original lcd. I used some sticky tape as a replacement because it is directly positioned over some other electrical components on the phone when in place.
New Info:
Everything except from the display seems to be fine - when it is connected to my PC running "My Mobiler". But I have seen pictures of mobiles with a cracked screen whre you were still able to see (partly) the homescreen, etc. On mine, I am not able to see anything while the cracked screen is mounted - only white and black parts and some colored stripes...
Update: The delivered display was broken. Yesterday I received a new one which works perfectly!
many thanks in advance

aih, the same story with my f1
anyway could you suggested seller lcd f1 on ebay???
i'm afraid if wrong order with lcd resolution under wvga,,,
some seller show resolution from their prodocut and a lot of seller don't do that,,
please help me..
Well i bought the TP2 digitizer and it has a hole in the front of it (whoops), Will this work fine with my sprint phone? Looks like the right size and same connector as other.
here is the discription from ebay item (It wont let me link the exact item) USA DIGITIZER SCREEN FOR HTC Touch Pro 2 2nd Gen T7373
I am planning on operating tonight and little worried, ( some people say ebay digitizers dont work well)
Also i need to disassemble to little bits or maybe just take the housing off the front (ive seen both ways on youtube and with out full disassemble looks hard.
Thanks for any input
lots of people look no one relies
Well took it all apart everything went great untill the f***ing digitizer and lcd would not come out i finally got it out and noticed tiny crack on the lcd part so looks like i need new lcd too.. I plugged lcd back in 2 ribbons back into mobo and plugged battery hit the power (it vibrates and turns on but nothing shows on lcd) Should it not show anything on lcd if everything isnt plugged in? (didnt bother plugging in the antenna plug the digitizer *(waiting for new lcd to plug that in) or the ear piece plug but i thought id at least be able to see the broken lcd light up. Am i wrong or did i mess more than the lcd up possibly?
I kinda expected to break the lcd when taking it out it was so hard.. another 25$ down drain but then again the lcd might have been cracked already not sure. I just hope it works with the new lcd. can i test the new lcd with it taken apart?
there is a guy on ebay selling a brand new replacement front for the TP2. it comes with
everything except the motherboard and back cover. i bought one from him for 70 and
took my motherboard and placed it in the new unit and used my old rear cover. works
like a charm and looks brand new.
well i see the gsm model for 25$ screen and all connected.. But since it seems like no one that repairs them replies (prob to old of a phone) I dont know if it will work, it looks like they all have same connectors so i dont see why the gsm screen would matter.. mIght take the chance and buy one those too to check it out, waiting on a new lcd to put back together to see if this one even works after my disassemble. (im guessing it will i didnt really damage anything but the lcd) 70 sounds like wya to much
yeah $70 was a bit much but it was basically a new TP2 minus the motherboard.
I don't know if the AT&T version will work with the sprint version tho. May want to
do a little more research on this before putting out that Dough.
