EDIT:
I know this won't change your life or similar, but i'm happy to inform you that i've replaced my broken LCD with one i bought on eBay (from vendor shop-uk)!!! My wizard is alive and kicking again!!!
Small info for those of you with the same problem:
Be aware that there are two different version of the LCD component for our wizard:
- Samsung LTP280qv-e01 (HTC part no. 60h00032-00) a.k.a. First Gen, a.k.a. gold cable ('cos the connector's color is orange/gold)
and
- Toppoly TD028STEB1 (HTC part no. 60h00037-00) a.k.a. Second Gen, a.k.a. black cable (connector's color black)
THE TWO ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE!!! If you need to buy a new LCD disassemble the old/broken one first, and check the serial number. Then order the replacement you need.
Bye ALL!!!!

Hi all,
my wizard hit the ground, literally (sigh!) and now the lcd is broken, so sad. The phone still works though, and i'd like not to buy another phone, i'm in love with my vario too much!
Do you know where can i find a new LCD to replace the broken one? Is it too hard to replace the screen? Or so you think i should definitely abandon my beloved and buy a new phone?
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated, i'm so sad
Bye

Oh man so sorry to hear about the damage to your Wizard. Ebay will have what you need not sure about costs or how to replace the LCD but I believe the instructions for replacement are here in the forum somewhere. A quick search should uncover them.
I quickly looked out on Ebay and found screens for $32.99US plus $7.99US shipping not sure about getting the item to Italy but at least you have an idea of the cost.
Good Luck,
Kirby

Yeah - ebay delivers many sources, but none are original LCD. I have bought a used S710 with such a 3.rd party LCD and while it does work, it is by far not as bright as the original one and the color of white is more yellowish. I can tell the difference as I have another (original one).
Replacing the LCD is also a delicate task, some threads over at modaco.com regarding that.
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.
Regards
hello,
does anybody know difference between these lcd types for vox :
60HH00087-00MM
60HH00088-00MM
are they compatible ?
i have vox with broken 60HH00087-00MM, after replace lcd with 60HH00088-00MM phone starts but lcd is black (old lcd works, but it's broken)
Where did you get the replacement from? Was it announced to fit the Vox?

i buy it as a brand new spare part for vox, seller said that never found diffrent types of lcd's
Can you derive if just the backlight is not ok and the screen works (you need some very bright light to see this) or will it stay without any signs of life?
Anyway it is simply defective - return it to the seller.
both types works fine, problem was with my assembling process and lcd connector
Yes, you need to know how to unlock/lock the connector for the LCD flexcable, otherwise it will not connect.
Are you happy with the brightness of the LCD? I had one replacement LCD which was only half as bright as the original one (like the dimmed state there) - no more readable in direct sunlight.
If it is as bright: where did you buy it?
Hello,
I like Sensation but screen consumption seems high (as in all phones)...
I saw that HTC One S has the same resolution and the same size screen as the Sensation, but AMOLED.
Anyone know which pinouts have each screen module?
Because they are similar phones, maybe have same screens (pinouts).
If not i whould make small changes (if pinout are same but in different order).
I hope display driver (chipset) are included in the LCD module, not in the motherboard ...
I think about buy HTC One S screen on ebay when available (now dont have) and try to change it ...
(im not sure about sub-forum of this post... y think "sensation accesories" fits better than Q&A because Q&A posts are doubts about software, not hardware... if another sub-forum are good please move to them..)
I wouldn't do it. The One S screen would recieve a current it's not supposed to.
because different voltages and currents of the tft screen i need driver/chipset in screen board.
If driver are in screen board, flex cable that connect to motherboard takes digital signal bus and may be the same in both screens.
For example: there are many laptop screens that uses different lcd panels (with different control and backlight voltages), but all of them have same connection: dvi mod (now).
why not just buy the one s if your gonna be dropping cash on a screen for one.
This is a good idea, if this works. I'll be down to actually do the mod as well.
so.. when sold htc one s?... i think now, but y doesnt find anything about this and his replacement parts...
Any moderator would move thread to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1425 (hardware hacking).
I think is more apropiate... (if think "no" dont move xD)
Just to add the complexities that danirebollo mentioned, another big issue is that the mainboard might be a totally different layout. You might have to do a custom cable. Also, the thickness/thinness of the panel might be an issue.
IMHO, it would be cheaper to sell your Sensation and purchase a One S instead of modifying & purchasing a new panel.
90% of phone screens are not compatible with each other. If you find two that do, it's a coincident rather than the norm. And if I were to go through so much trouble as to source a replacement qHD Super AMOLED screen, which I'm sure won't be cheap to being with, I'd just get a new phone.
if that is possible, count me in, ive bin looking into it ever since i switched over from the samsung vibrant, but never really made any brake throughs

Agreed, I tried to upgrade the SoC by putting my R1 engine in it last night, and would you believe it, it didn't fit. Unbelievable. I wrote HTC a very strong letter of complaint ; )
Sorry, it's that time of the day here in the UK where my silly side rears its head.
Would be a good mod if it worked but I doubt it very much for the reasons mentioned, plus, is the didgitiser bonded to the screen in this new generation of HTC phones?

Well as far as I know, the only way to change the screen on one of these is to change the entire motherboard with it, I found this out at somewhere is the desire thread because many of he desire phones had smiled screens but then Samsung couldn't produce them fast enough and switched it for slcd but people wanted amoled so they swapped it all. Maybe if we asked HTC about being able to swap the screens ( yes it sounds stupid bit what else can we do?). Although the chances are amazingly thin we could request it from them that if you send the phone with them align with the cost of the amoled screen, they should replace it or even ****ing tell us how or if it can be friggin done. Power comes through numbers.....
Yeah, if someone finish this work, I maybe have a try

lol?? why sooo sarcasm??
some phones have same lcd screen (no digitizer), it hasnt rare idea... the only problem was different tecnology (LCD->OLED) but normally the only important was control bus, i2c, (i dont think these screens need this bus), and video data...
i dont know now if it is possible until i have both pinouts.
The other problem I would think is that the touch screen driver wouldn't work with the new screen

I have spoken to my manager regarding this and unfortunately we cannot advise any customer to change there device specification or hardware as this will void the warranty of the handset. I then went on to ask if our repair centre can perform this, unfortunately we cannot request this as this then support customization of the devices which is against the device terms and conditions..
I do apologise about this however we are unable to perform this request.
This is what I got from HTC asking if:
a) if it could be done.
b) if they could do it for us if we payed.
So I'm guessing somebody will have to try it on their own first. GOOD LUCK and God's speed.

Another problem,
I upgraded manually a Nexus S i9023 (slcd, like sensation) with android 4.0.3 leaked pakage in december. This package was made for i9020 (super amoled version): Android run beautifully but when you go into recovery you can't see anything (if you use a very bright light you can barely see the text of the recovery) cause it has drivers for amoled screen.
I suppose that if the screen change is possible you could also have problems to see recovery that is made with normal sensation's screen driver, imho.

We need some experts on this but HTC won't help

If this ever works, it will end like Motorola's Cliq multi touch patch. While it might work, the screen voltage sensors won't be calibrate correctly and will end burning the screen (if you don't believe me Google it). The same could happen to the screen in general, with wrong voltage its going to break.
