Where to get spare parts?
The top of the screen, the plastic layer. Where the HTC logo is printed on. That thing is broken. So the touch functonality isnt working anymore. And it is scratched. Where can i buy such a thing?
Ebay has good deals. What you need is called the digitizer. Such as: touch pro digitizer on ebay. I just had the same problem as you. I dropped my phone and something scratched the very outside layer of the screen. A small patch started peeling away and the touch screen stopped working.
Some sellers on ebay offer both the digitizer and LCD as a package, but unless the display is also not working, you can save money and buy just the digitizer.
I ordered mine on http://shop.brando.com/

Hi,
I dropped my Desire S facedown on a solid floor today and the screen cracked. I can still use the phone fine and it just looks like it's only the touchscreen/digitizer that has cracked.
Is it likely that the LCD under it has been affected aswell?
I can get it repaired with a GENUINE HTC Digitizer for £65... Does this sound fair?
Cheers
You can do it by yourself. There's some videos of dissasembling phone on youtube. This is to expensive price for digitizer, maybe try to buy it on ebay:
ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170687483863&ssPageName=ADME:L:OCL:1123
I and one other user bought from there.
Long story short, I busted my Inspire's digitizer, but the LCD underneath is still intact, and I'm having trouble finding a replacement.
Amazon sells just the digitizer, but I've seen that replacing the digitizer is a extremely tedious task and it's way too easy to damage the LCD in the process (one video had a guy completely obliterate the LCD trying, was freakin hilarious!), and the only LCD/Digitizer assembly they have on there has reports of the seller sending damaged parts.
Anyone know of a good site that sells the digitizer/LCD assembly that isn't Ebay? I freakin hate Ebay....
Edit: found this for the Desire HD, anyone tried this seller before?
try ebay ..
it is easy and safe ...
but if you don't like try
amazon .. but it is very cost .. and you must be in USA
or try
aliexpress
but not sure ...
I hope I'm not to late.
I went on amazon and looked up the digitizer display assembly. The screen you are getting should have the home, menu, return, and search button on the bottom.
It's kind of expensive, but it's the entire screen with the digitizer already attached to the glass, and is super easy to put in. You can also find videos on youtube to put in this exact screen.
http://www.cnn.cn the guy is in Hong Kong but ships quickly and cheaply. Best source for any part for pretty much any phone.

Ive purchase both a digitizer and an LCD from amazon. Make sure you buy replacement adhesive.
do i have to replace the whole lcd. i see digitizers on ebay for like 20 bucks...
I have been told that they must be replaced together
Yes, the screen, glass, and digitizer and all that are fused together. As far as I know you can't replace one without replacing it all, bringing your price closer to $180. I've got a broken screen now as well. Wish the glass was an easy (or rather cheap) replacement.
Edit: I see the glass only on eBay, but I'll give you warning that the SAMOLED screen is glued to the glass pretty well. Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, there's a 95% chance you'll break the LCD trying to separate it from the glass, then you'll definitely have to spend the $180 or so for the whole thing.
The LCD works perfectly. Images that are displayed are correct, colors are good, but the touch aspect of it does not work. Occasionally the touch would come back but 95% of the time, the screen doesn't respond to touches. The phone wasn't dropped or anything. It just decided one day to crap out on the touch. Would it be easier to just replace the digitizer and not waste money to buy the whole screen assembly? Not to mention the replacement screens on eBay are probably not as good as the original OEM screen.
Much easier to replace everything in my opinion; i.e. mid-frame, digitizer, and LCD. The biggest drawback is the cost if you purchase an OEM screen instead of a third-party screen from Aliexpress or ebay.

Yea, I figured. Was watching a video on replacing just the digitizer. Seems like a huge pain and I'd have to spend more for tools as well to separate the screen. Where would you go about purchasing an OEM screen?
I purchased two of them from Aliexpress.com. I also purchased a replacement battery and tempered glass screen protector since I had the phones taken apart. Mine screens cost around $33 USD for black. The red looks interesting too.
One thing I noticed about the original and the replacement is the fact that the replacement does not seem as bright, but I only noticed this when I held the screens side by side. On its own, the replacement seemed quite nice for the price.
So the replacement screens you purchased wasn't original LG? Then again I doubt LG would sell the screen assembly by itself to consumers. I see ebay selling screens with a frame for <$40; I've never tried aliexpress before.
The screens I purchased were not from LG. The LG screens are over $150 each in Canada.
The screens on ebay and Aliexpress are probably very similar in quality. I went with Ali because they were a bit cheaper and I got the replacement in 2 weeks via registered air mail.
I purchased a screen from Aliexpress, replaced it, and the touch issue still persists. The screen works fine, but the touch just doesn't want to work. I guess I just wasted the cost of the screen to fix an issue that wasn't the screen's fault. What else can I do at this point?
The front glass does not contain the touch screen part.
It(the touch screen) is included in the layers of the lcd screen itself.
Your fault is maybe corrosion or malfunction of the mainboard concerning the touch screen part.
Try to clean the connector with some izopropylic alcohol, and maybe you can restore the functionality.
If not, then try changing the motherboard.
You're welcome
Hi everyone, my pixel screen has gone after a bad fall. I'm sad. Around my town there's no place that can fix it but they can replace it if supply the screen. On Amazon there is just the screen (20 euro circa) and the screen + the digitizer (120 circa). The touchscreen works perfectly. Is the 20€ glass enough or should supply them the digitizer one? Thank you guys.
Replacing only the front-glass is nontrivial.
Ask the shop if they have a laminating machine with a vacuum/autoclave.
I recently just bought front glass and found a shop that was able to replace the front-glass only. This is the far-cheaper solution, but now there's odd bubbles under the screen, so, find a shop that knows how to do it properly.
