Does the original front cover contain the digitized too? My son scratched the front cover and I asked the service center what they would charge to change it and their quote was anywhere between 150-300 usd!!!
I don't think it does include the digitiser as I think the screen is in three parts: The casing, digitiser, and AMOLED/SLCD screen.
My guess is HTC will replace the digitiser too hence the price. I paid £130 for new casing on my phone after I dropped it after 4 days. I was not pleased and I got it back with dust under the screen, sent it back and it came back with a scratch. It's all sorted now thankfully.

I had chip on my bottom cover and replaced it for $12. The repair part is real easy though i got a cut lol. One thing i forgot to put in was the dock connector from the previous cover to new one so now i have a n1 with 4 holes rather than 1. And u dont have to void ur warranty for replacing as u dont have to remove and void sticker
here are the links to the things i bought, seems oem and really high grade

Were you able to take any pictures of the process? Also, where did you get the actual part? I've been contemplating buying a spare bottom rubber thing and battery back, as they are really the most likely places to get scratched. Oh, and congrats on succeeding!
No pictures of the process but u have to open 2 clips one at center n one at right n pull. Assembly is real easy but I forgot to put in dock connectors. They have to removed from previous cover. In the process destroyed a plastic clip opener, older bottom n also cut my finger. No damage to phone though
I'm going to attempt this soon. I ordered the bottom cover from here. They have another bottom cover "with small accessories on their site but I'm not sure what these "accessories" are so I ordered the tools from here.
From my reading, removing the bottom cover can be quite a challenging task.
I also have a new battery cover which I received free from HTC when I called them a few months ago to report it had been scratched. They said they would send me both parts (battery cover and bottom cover) but there was only the one piece. When I called back, they said I would need to send in my phone to have the bottom cover replaced and there would, of course, be a charge.
Finally got the bottom cover in the mail.. it looks as good as the original.
I successfully removed the old one with some precision screwdrivers since my iPod tools haven't come in yet and I couldn't wait. Once I got one of the corner tabs lifted, the cover came right off. Installing the new one was extremely easy.
I wasn't going to replace the battery cover with the new one I had received from HTC but the battery cover had a reddish tint to it so it didn't really match the new bottom cover which is gray. Installed the new one and the phone looks brand spanking new.
did u put in the dock connectors?

They were part of the replacement cover and they're spring-loaded contacts so there was nothing to worry about.

unfortunately I've dropped my beloved g2x quite a few times hence the casing and silver bevel are all scratched up....can the casing and bevel be purchased replaced with an original or after market like some other phones???
just put a case on it and hide it.....why go through the trouble of messing up your phone even more?
You can send it to LG service in the USA. A complete case changeover including front glass digitizer will be probably be between $100 and $150. Many people have reported they will replace the entire front piece with glass digitizer for $70.00.
Just tell T-Mobile that you're having issues with the phone such as Screen of Death, GPS not locking, and Random shutdowns.

I bought the LCD from ebay today morning for Rs. 1300..
[link] http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Screen-...749632?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab0521680 [/link]
but i cant find any tutorial how to replace it
Its a link for US ebay so did u got it imported??
i just bought it from there.. some of sellers ship product overseas..
It's pretty easy to disassemble, if you've repaired other phones.
From the back, holding it with the speaker grille down you have:
Top left rubber cap hiding one screw.
Top right under 8.0 xenon sticker one screw.
Middle over battery two screws, not hidden.
Bottom left and right, under speaker grille another two.
Now simply spread the blue from the chrome with a PLASTIC breaker.
You often get them free with new screens.
After that, there's ribbon cables and some sticky tape that need to be extremely carefully removed, especially the micro antennas.
A new touch/digitizer from ebay should include the chrome frame!
Very important, as they're glued and not double sided taped like other phones.
LCD is separate from the digitizer, and if that's broken you need to buy two parts obviosly.
My phone recently received a direct impact on the screen.. I tink the lcd screen got destroyed!
The gorilla glass stood up to the impact. But the display beneath the glass turned black and only showed streaks of white light when turned on.. everything else's still working find though! e.g. multitouch, launching apps, etc.. can even answer phone call cause it's just a swipe..
is this a spoiled LCD screen of my phone as OP mentioned?
I dropped my nexus 5 getting out if the car and now the glass screen is shattered at a corner. The digitizer seems fin and every where on the screen is responsive.
So I was wondering if there were a place i can order just the LCD screen and without the digitizer/housing.

The digitizer and LCD are fused together.. You need to replace them both!
If I were you, I would send it to a LG Service outlet and let them replace it. The ones you order online may or may not work + you need to do everything yourself. However, if you're good at it, then ordering online will certainly save you few bucks!
As the phone is only $350. Spending anything more then $150 won't do it for me as I'd rather buy a new or used phone. I was hoping there was a place to get just the glass part.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
The only way that makes sense is if you can get a phone that is as good or better than the n5 for $150 or less.
I dropped mine, three days after it was delivered, no case as it had not yet arrived
The corner of the case was dented and the screen shattered but still fully useabIe.
I was wary about knock off spare parts and my skill with glue and tape if I went DIY so I sent mine in to LG service centre. The cost was £114.67 including Special delivery both ways ( Insured, tracked, next day delivery).
The worst part was the waiting, it took them 10 days to give me an estimate of he cost and three more days to get it back to me. It is good as new now and still has warranty.
I've just checked, thats about $190! So I uderstand your dilemma.

This is Elena from parts4repair.com,we can offer only oem glass for you,(the original one is out of stock now),and I am a new user,so i can't offer the link for you,maybe you will be interested to visit our website,or contact with us by [email protected].
Please notice that:the outer glass lens is without any function of digitizer or display. and only glass replacement is a professional job, and special tools are required, too. By the way, glass and the screen are bonded together, so both separating them and gluing them together are difficult job. Please sure you can do it before order.
Hope can help you,Thanks.
Never try to replace just the glass. You'd need loca glue & a uv light to cure it. The glue could get into other components and totally ruin your phone. And even if by a small chance you can pull it off, it will never be 100 percent. Always replace the whole assembly. - coming from somebody who has tried to replace just the glass.

you are right,it is very hard to get it done right by people who mostly have no experience,so please think twice before do it if it is first time for you to change it.And we also can offer LG N5 D820 a full screen assembly(front housing cover + digitizer + lcd screen+glass).
I used my old front housing and removed the old LCD and Glass. It was very difficult but it came out working 100%. This has been the 3rd display I have fixed and so far the most difficult. The rest of the parts were really easy though. Just separating the LCD and housing was painstakingly time consuming and dangerous.

Unfortunately I crashed display on moto x play...so if anybody now trusted site to buy new one....tnx
Anyone found a display replacement that includes the front cover? Without it, it should be nearly impossible, am I right?
Gesendet von meinem XT1562 mit Tapatalk
I haven't seen any.
I tried combining the components and failed. Broke the circuitry in the LCD when trying to mount the frame...
I asked Motorola what i should do when i dropped my phone and the glas got broken. They told i should send it to their repair service, it was datrepair in Germany maybe its another in other countries. They Arranged everything for me and i paid 120€ for the replacement, just the glass maybe touch but idk, screen was ok when i was sending it in. They even took care of shipping without any cost for me.
Normaly i repair devices by myselfe but in fact the phone was only 1 Month old i refused to it.
If you have a heat gun (or hair dryer) and a set of torx screwdrivers, you should be able to fix it at home. If something is tight, never force it. Use plastic tools to pry open the case, usually comes together with the screwdriver set if you buy them online

For that, you would need the lcd including the frame which is nicht available yet...
So atm nearly impossible.
I managed to get some tiny cracks on the edge near the front camera (it fell onto metal from my jacket, i was bending over). Thankfully it's not the touch area, but i now somehow understand why so many people have cracked phones. It happens so quickly. And i was treating it like a raw eggshell, too.
I dropped mine as I was getting out of the car.It cost me R1500 (R is for South African Rand) to replace the screen.The guys who repaired it had to crack the plastic frame to get the screen out .They used glue to keep the new screen in place.I dont think they knew what they were doing,but it was the only repair center that was in the same province as me.

Finally a full assembly, actually think I am going to try AGAIN. maybe I will make a video on it
There is also a full assembly available on aliexpress. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-5-...-1&btsid=5347749e-d1d5-4871-a4c2-dafc85fd700d
I should have checked ebay prior as that one ships from the states and would have got here way quicker.

Yeah, please make a video it'll help many.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_yzMPWCQOM This video shows the whole process with a complete display assembly. Its incredibly more difficult if you get the screen without the frame as the screen is affixed to the frame with some sort of adhesive foam.
I also broke my screen and ordered a replacement. Unfortunately I broke the frame in the process of removing the old screen.
Luckily I got my hands on a replacement frame and some 3M 2 milimeters adhesive strips. Praying for everything to work out put together..

Best of luck, if you can document the process as there isn't much info out on screen replacements where you affix a new frame to a screen. My frame broke when I dropped my phone which is why I just got the whole unit. Cost me about $62 CAD shipped for the whole unit.
Has anyone here tried a replacement? Any tips?
So is it possible to change just the glass without the whole display unit?

So, I tried for myself with my old display after I got a replacement new display including a new frame.
It is absolutely impossible to separate the front glass from the digitizer and display without destroying all three.
I think even a professional wouldn't be able to do it. Display and digitizer are very flexible while the screen is glued really really good to them
I heated it up to no avail. Maybe some glue remover would have helped, but I don't think it would get between the glass and the digitizer.
These phones are just not build to be repared, they are build to be thrown away.
Exchanging the new frame including display was no easy job too, but it can be done.
Be sure to have a high quality Torx T3 screwdriver or bit, the cheap china ones will do nothing but destroy the tiny screws.
