[ SOLVED!!! :) :) :) ] LCD broken - i need your help!

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,

New LCD for HTC touch cruise problems

i've recently changed my lcd screen of cruise. The new screen has more brightness than the old one but lesser contrast. Is really dissapointing when you look at it from a small angle. (too bright). I sent back the cruise at HTC representative in Cyprus but they said that these are the new screens they install and can't do anything else. Anyone experienced any similar problem?
Is there a hidden service menu you can adjust the brightness?

Besides the included HTC Brightness application that is by default part of your apps in HTC Home, you can change brightness in Settings>>System Tab>>Brightness

You mean th backlight? it's not a problem with the backlight. the lcd has too much brightness and little contrast.

i've uploaded 2 photos of the cruise to see the screen

It looks like a bad screen. I would try to get them to replace it again.

I have exacatly the same problem!
where did you get your screen from?
I ordered mine from a chinese company on Ebay (please see my TC dismantling instructions here for details) and got the same results:
the viewing angle and contrast is not as it was, and I compared it to a new TC. It's hard to see something from the side, botton-angle view is blanked.
One lab's technician told me the LCD's probably not original or dropout, as "it should cost 100$ and more"...
I ask the supplier about that and they insist they checked it before delivery and may be "I'd fitted it wrong" (?!)
There is no 'special' fitting there, and only one ribbon connection, so it's either working or not - nothing to do with viewing angle and contrast.
Any help on this TC issue is welcomed

It's like Orbit II screen.. Poor viewing angle..
Screen quality is mainly difference of touch cruise and orbit II.. But it's like replacement parts of TC same as orbit II unfortunately...
Sorry for my English...

LCD Replacement
Hi also.
This is clearly a miserable story. My screen broke and I also obtained a replacement screen through Hong Kong (via a UK reseller) which suffers exactly the snags you have (dodgy screen contrast and very poor viewing angle). I think it's rubbish but what's the alternative apart from an OEM high cost fix? For info I think the poor performance in these screens is a standard feature as the first screen replacement had slightly different fixing/alignment lugs and was replaced by a different unit with the correct lugs. Both units however had identical poor screen performance. Has anyone replaced a screen with performance identical to the original??
Many thanks and great forum/very helpful thread.....

I have mine replaced 3 weeks ago due to a small accident with my phone, fortunately I have a insurance on it and I let it repair by official HTC dealer.
I donot have the issues as described here... Maybe this can help you in contacting the suppliers you used..

I have owned a TC since Feb 08. Earlier this month the top half of screen would not display. Returned to HTC USA for repair. They claimed TC out of warranty for several reasons, including breaking security seal. None of reasons were accurate, but agreed to pay approx USD200 for repair as I need my phone. Unit returned with poor quality "washed out" screen described above. Sent phone back and was told they did not see any problems. I called and directed them to HTC website so they could see pictures of what the TC display should look like. It seems repair was made with the "available" replacement screens. Requested replacement phone if they cannot repair to original quality. Called my vendor, Mobile Planet for assistance but they could/would not help. After discussing with "management" a HTC cust svc rep emailed an offer late last week to replace with a generic english phone. Email stated replacement phone would be the same model, but with different part number? HTC rep out of office to answer questions/resolve until next week. Will update post with outcome.

I had to replace my screen aswell.
I ordered the part trough an ebay seller. It cost me around 45 euro's incl. s&h.
The screen works but starts up in what's best described as "save mode" = 4 color low res.
But when the device turns into standby mode and awakes again the screen shows normal res and colors and is very much the same Q as the one that was replaced.
No contrast or view issues though....

im happy to see im not the only one with this problem.
I gave back my touch cruise to HTC because i broke my LCD.
same problem, the display has a lot of brightness but not a lot of contrast, and the view angle is poor!
i called my htc vendor and he tolds me that's the new LCD from htc.
PLUS:
My htc came back with a hole, like if he fall.... im very angry.

Wow, I am totally freaked now...
I just droopeed, ehm ok I confess, I did a Hulk slam with my HTC cruise just yesterday (personal issue...love sucks) anyways, I am about to get my lcd replaced for $130 I hope I dont suffer.
I do however need one help, it seems that my HTC is still functional, I could recieve calls, although I cant be sure of anything else since my screen doesnt display anything. The casing is all cracked and partially open .
But Windows Sync still works perfectly, my only question is: Is there any way I can save my smses? Perhaps it is filed under a certain folder?
I really need my sms it contains some data that I have not saved into notes, unfortunately I have not installed anyback up programs. I have looked around the folders on the internal memory but cant find it, Is there hope for me still?

My Mobiler
Well, here is a really nice helper to LCD-less units:
Download the free My Mobiler and use it's on-desktop-screen simulator to manage your phone.
Otherwise you can go Explore the unit with ActiveSync for any data you may need.

Just to report. I got my LCD screen replaced by Pocketpctechs.com, has the wash out screen problem.

HTC screen repair issue may be a big problem since they could not replace with screen of original quality. To solve my complaint, HTC provided a replacement phone. HTC stated it was a refurbished unit, but I think it was a brand new phone. It is my guess that for some odd reason, HTC is not able to provide OEM screens.
I do appreciate that despite all the costs and time I spent to get a solution, in the end, they did solve my problem.

Change tft display

Hello,
I broken my HTC Rose display (E.U Version)
HTC support can repair my phone for 210$ !!!!
So, I search a new tft display to change it myself.
Somebody know where can I find it ?
I only find an ebay shop in Hong kong who sell it 66$ but an US version and they are not sur that it's compatible with a E.U. version ...
Thank you in advance
Gotcha

IMHO a chance, that s740 and s743 (US version) have different displays is very low. The only difference between the phones is officially a 3G radio. Economically it would not make sense to do them different - especially, if power supply is the same miniUSB compatible thingie.
Only little possibility is an upgrade. Nevertheless it's a matter of effectiveness again - it is pointless to do it if it would require different circuits on motherboard or so. By side of fact, that non-touch QVGA with 65k colors isn't a rocket science ;-) .

Hi all,
I have the same problem
My Smartphone is HTC S740
The display is broken(only front glass) but I see the pichure.
Where is a guide for open the device?
Thanks

Thanks!!
mumble mumble....the instructions are difficult for change only glass(the display works)

I know this is an old topic.
But I just changed the screen on my S740 (only the glass was broken). I ordered a screen from ebay including tools for 26 EUR.
I followed the instructions on this blog:
http://blog.jmedved.com/2010/01/how-to-replace-broken-screen-on-htc.html
It's not the easiest thing to do because you basically have to take the whole phone apart, but it's cheaper than a used phone of ebay (plus you don't have to reinstall).

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?

I need a new screen. Suggestions?

Bought a second hand HTC Diamond that works real well. Just ordered an extended battery and a new back to cover the thickness of the new battery but the screen needs to go and be replaced.
Has a couple scratches (Isn't too bad) but there's one right near the forward facing camera that pisses me off because I always see it when I'm looking at the screen.
How hard would it be to replace the screen (By myself) and where would be the cheapest place to buy a new screen for it? I want a quality OEM (If possible) screen for it, not a cheap Chinese knock-off.

Check Ebay. There is a lot of lcd's and digitizers for Diamond.
Here is how to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LrlBpgskwU

HTC's most hard devices to change digitizer are touch pro, diamond, hd and hd2.
they are sticked with lcd.

My new screen of lg really works well.

Normally , a full display will cost you at about 40-50E. At least this are the prices here.
I too have a stupid display , it has some little white dots under it that light up when the lcd lights up. Not a big problem , but does annoy me
