[q] shattered screen

i dropped htc inspire this am.. gna send it to htc to repair... should i UNROOT???

That would be a great idea...make sure you have S-On

1)with a shattered screen, i highly doubt they will cover you under warranty, so who cares about if its rooted/romed/etc, you pay for it to be fixed they wont care
2)my experience with my old nexus one that had dust under the screen, they replaced it no problem and i was running CM

You can send it to HTC or mobiletechvideos...

Replacing Broken SLCD

I'm looking at replacing the screen for a Desire S, and I was wondering if anyone had good references for sites to buy spares and/or tutorials I can follow.

There is a link to a good guide on youtube in my thread:

Desire S also comes with SLCD? i thought it was AMOLED only?

No only the original desire used amoled in it's early models but then they switched to slcd. The desire s has always used slcd

I am very keen to find out how you get on. I too need a new slcd screen due to water damage. The digitizer is fine so just want to know where the best place to pick up a genuine screen replacement.

EBay is your source! Dont forget to tick worldwide at your search. Otherwise you wont see the cheap-ass china stuff

[Q] screen replacement

hi Iv cracked the screen on my htc desire S . does anyone have any details or
instructions on replacing it. or is it a case of going bk to the the carrier 02 ..

How did you crack it?
If you still have warranty, contact HTC and they could replace it for you if it wasn't self inflicted.

What do you class as self inflicted and accidental? Sorry for butting in but I'm curious as anything could be said to be accidental?

Sorry, i mean accidental
Like the screen cracked when you didn't self inflict it (drop it)
Happened to me before on my old phone! Didn't touch it or anything...
Tool it out my pocket later, and it had a cracked screen

If you replace the screen yourself could you post a photo of the board directly under the screen. I'd like it as a wallpaper I think it would look cool. Sorry can't help with replacing the though

Has anyone replaced their AUO screen with a Sharp?

I have a sensation that needs a new LCD panel. I'm pretty sure it came with an AUO and I would like to replace it with a Sharp panel. Has it ever been done before?

I don't think so l. I have read posts saying that you have to use a certain screen depending on the one you had or the screen will become laggy and unresponsive when replaced.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does that go for the LCD panel itself or just the Digitizer? Im having a hard time finding out how to tell what type a LCD is before I buy it. They should have printed either Sharp or AUO on the back of it so it would be obvious to buyers lol.

I'd say the odds of the screen breaking would be far greater than those of the Adreno failing. In fact, I've never heard of anyones mobile's gpu being broken, whereas I've come across countless of cases of broken screens etc.
As far as I know there is no difference between the screens, but if you get an XE screen, you'll end up with red buttons. Furthermore, the screens are apparently manufactered by two different companies, being Acer and Sharp. This won't affect the compatibility, however. Source

ohh thanks now i can sleep again best forum ever
