I Have an O2 XDA Exec that has a smash LCD and I also have an O2 XDA IIi that no longer works, I was wondering if I could use the LCD from the XDA IIi and Put it in to XDA Exec Theo they look the same size I know this is not enough, Im just wondering if there is anyone out there who has done this or knows it can be done.
Not possible to swap
Hi
I understand that these two devices have different screen resolutions, which would make it impossible to transplant the screen from one to the other. I think you need a replacement LCD on the one that is broken.
Cheers

Thx for the reply ,after i posted i carry on checking and i did notice the res was diff i was hoping it could be done...every LCD for most PDA's are round about 38 pounds but the one i need is 100 pounds
VGA screen is more expensive
Hi
The HTC Exec has a higher resolution screen, which bumps up the price of a replacement.
Cheers

Hi there,
I have a really desperate problem
I've got an Orbit II bought in Germany and I'm not covered by their guarantee here in Moscow. So, I happened to be a very lucky one and the touch screen of my device is faulty - it has a gray stain on it clearly visible on a white background.
I found a replacement screen for the Touch Cruise here but what the technicians discovered yesterday was that the screen was actually the same, but the cord on that TC screen (stub, whatever) sticks out at a different place than on mine!
Found out one more thing:
Orbit 2 = Polaris 200.
TC = Polaris 100.
Guys, can anyone help me find a source to buy a replacement screen for Orbit 2 in Germany or UK?
Thanks a whole lot in advance!!!
I have posted a request for you over in the german ppc-Welt Forum
Maybe someone gathers some information there. I will keep you updated.

Well, thanks for these links... But I don't want to dismantle anything. I just need to buy the whole touchscreen assy.

But the problem is that the display on the photo is for TC, NOT for Orbit 2
As I said earlier,
but the cord on that TC screen (stub, whatever) sticks out at a different place than on mine!
You see, the cord on this one sticks out in the lower left corner of the screen. But mine is in the middle of the left side.

Interesting because on the posted link,
they state it fits for following devices:
HTC:
Touch Cruise
Polaris
P3650
XDA mini II
O2:
XDA Orbit 2
This would assume, that it is the same for all models
Maybe best is to email them and describe your problem by support form:

No, haven't ordered anything yet. But these guys have told me finally that their screen is incompatible with my Orbit but they will try to find one that is
I hope to have news next week.

be the whole screen or are there two parts (lcd and digitizer).
How do I know, what is broken?
On my device there is a small black spot like ink and a tiny crack from the whole left to right. Display is working fine except the black part, the touchscreen works everywhere.
What parts do I need?
Thank you

Well, I was informed by those technicians who disassembled my device that I needed the whole screen. That's the only thing I know.
So, I can't help you here.
I have a dent\scratch in the housing, and multiple scratches on my screen
I'm actually thinking about selling my TC, cause of all the issues, etc.
I wonder if it's worth it to buy the housing and screen replacements...hm
I'm gonna wait until someone here has successfully used one of those kits and successfully dismantled the device.
Knowing me, I would definately destroy it without reading a how-to from someone who has actually done this before
Hello Dimitry N!
Have you got some news for us? Did you get a new LCD screen? And how to replace? Many questions....
I got myself a TC instead.
The Orbit 2 has a Samsung (!!!) touch screen, which is a real piece of ****.
The one on the TC really does have the viewing angle of 180 degrees, as it was advertised.
The Orbit 2's screen - no. When you look at it from the "top", the image on the screen darkens a lot, and vice versa. And the image on the TC screen is a lot crisper! I can tell this by holding the 2 devices together right now!
What a pity! O2 decided to include some nice accessories like the car charger and the car holder, and saved on the screen instead!
So, I will sell my Orbit 2!
Hello all,
Im new to the forum, so I must apolagise if i have posted in the wrong section. I wasnt sure as this is a hardware rather than software issue.
I have been given a Vodafone 845 / Huawei Joy, and i want to obviously play around with it and root it etc. Unfortunately, this phone has a resistive screen, and the actual LCD display underneath is damaged. I have scoured the internet, does anyone happen to know of any suppliers offering cheap generic replacements, or can I use another 2.8" screen with same res and remake off the ribbon connections?
Many thanks,
Nick

Hi Guys
Does anyone know where I could buy a fairly cheap HTC Desire screen?
I regretably broke my screen by throwing it :/ and for the past few months it has been working but some of the screen just wouldnt respond. But now the whole thing has cracked and I cant use the screen at all.
I have looked into getting it fixed by professionals and screens online but seeing as it isnt a new module anymore,when I do come to the end of my contract in October,i wont get much for it if I sell it. Therefor I dont really want to spend a great deal fixing it.
For the mean time I am using my friends HTC Diamond but it just doesnt compare to the desire!
Any suggestions would be appritiated
Thank you
how cheap?
well, it depends on how "cheap" by your definition.
I see one seller from ebay.uk sells it for around £20.99 right now.
good luck !
That price is perfect. Compared to the £45-50 price range that Iv seen!
Do you have the link?
Thank you
Try: htc desire lcd -(z, hd, s, protector, protectors, silicone, cover, case, stylus, clear, guard)
Sort price low->high then choose one you are happy with, the -(x, y, z) should get rid of most the rubbish that hct desire lcd brings back
sorry for a-bit late reply.
can't post a link due to my low # posts.
but for the shop I refer, just search for "Desire display" and look for the £20.99 price (seller name's = macrobolous)
Are we talking about a screen or a Digitiser?
Is the outer glass broken? Can you feel the cracks with your finger?
If you can, its the digitiser. If you can't, its the screen. That can either be AMOLED
or SLCD.
I bought an AMOLED screen from Ebay UK and it works perfect. £20.99 + P&P.
here you go
you can get on from ebay or use those links...

Everyone has answered it. Ebay I import most things from those China sellers, but never tried screen.
Hi, i am in desperate need of a lcd display for a 7 pro but they are seriously hard to get hold of!
I have looked on ebay and theres only ones from HK or China and even then the sellers feedback on screens is poor!
I have phoned countless repair shops in the uk and only a couple claim to be able to get hold of the screen but then demand that they fix the phone themselves and a stupid fee and will not supply the screen to me.
one thing i have noticed it that the touch pro 2 and 7 pro screens look identical apart from the colour of the ribbon that connects them to the main cable that goes through the slide body.
there is no visual difference between the screens or connector cables other thab colour and they have the same specs also-
480 x 800 pixels, 3.6 inches and a 259 ppi pixel density
Does anyone know if they are actually interchangeable or not? i cant find a screen anywhere and my wife is not pleased with me right now as ive only just got the phone and a broke the lcd trying to remove the digitizer even though i was ultra carefull and used lots of heat, please can someone help!!!!
Thanks, Steve.
Hello! To most simply answer your question, no. The screens are very different despite looking similar. The old TP2 screen is not multitouch and WP7 requires this. Also, the old screen utilizes a stylus while the newer 7 pro screen doesn't even recognize that type of touch.
It is your phone after all, so if you would like to try this that's your choice. However its too much effort to affix the ribbon to the pcb to even make it worth it. My old TP2 has a cracked digitizer which I have a replacement for, but the ribbon is machine pressed onto the pcb and reattaching this connection would be very difficult without the type of heat/pressure used in the manufacturing of the phone.
If you decide to try it let us know the results!
I'm sorry, I just seen you said the lcd itself, I thought you were meaning the digitizer screens.
That being said, maybe the swap will work, as long as they hook up the same?

i found a seller with genuine touch pro 2 screens who is willing to take it back if it does not work for me, i will let everyone know if it works!
I can confirm, the touch pro 2 screen does NOT work in the 7 pro, it is almost identical but the conector is at most 1mm wider than the 7 pro but its enough to stop if fitting into the socket
Back to the drawing board for me i guess.

not sure if you still need an LCD, or maybe you got a new phone by now. I found this if your still interested in getting it up and going again.

not been on for a few days, thankyou for the link its still there and in europe!
I bought another 7 pro handset as i could not wait any longer, i had been forced back to my old Touch pro (raphael) and although not a bad phone and running a custom 6.5.3 rom , it just cant cope on the web anymore as all the standards have changed and nobody is supporting windows mobile anymore.
Its a shame cos windows mobile is by far a better operating system than windows phone, updated and running on better hardware it would have rocked.
even though i bought a new handset ive always intended on fixing the other one when i get the chance and have put a bid on that screen to remove the buy it now.
Fingers crossed that it dont go up in price, my wife will kill me if spend much more on these phones lol
once its fixed its going to go in its box and live in a safe place till ive worn out this new one, dont think i wll sell it, thanks for your help, you get a thanks meter point for this :good:
Steve.
You are welcome I was a little worried you might not get to the link fast enough but thankfully you did! I seen that and figured its a steal considering the lcd is nearly that price alone, plus all the work needed to change it. Good luck I hope you win it
Thanks geeze

as long as you get the right screen, theres no reason why you cant do it yourself, just go slow, very slow, read tutorials and be very carefull of all cables and boards inside. if it its the glass digitizer that is broken and not the whole display, be very very carefull when removing it from the lcd as theres a big chance of breaking the lcd as its removed, heat to relax the glue is your friend! if the glass is shatterd, removing the glass bit by bit instead of trying to remove it all at once may proove easyer and less risky on the lcd.
Good luck, steve.

yup, their price is higher, but the quality will tell you it's worthy
@m$m
It's still an OEM (even with higher quality than the cheap ones) and not the original one.
