Well i bought the TP2 digitizer and it has a hole in the front of it (whoops), Will this work fine with my sprint phone? Looks like the right size and same connector as other.
here is the discription from ebay item (It wont let me link the exact item) USA DIGITIZER SCREEN FOR HTC Touch Pro 2 2nd Gen T7373
I am planning on operating tonight and little worried, ( some people say ebay digitizers dont work well)
Also i need to disassemble to little bits or maybe just take the housing off the front (ive seen both ways on youtube and with out full disassemble looks hard.
Thanks for any input
lots of people look no one relies
Well took it all apart everything went great untill the f***ing digitizer and lcd would not come out i finally got it out and noticed tiny crack on the lcd part so looks like i need new lcd too.. I plugged lcd back in 2 ribbons back into mobo and plugged battery hit the power (it vibrates and turns on but nothing shows on lcd) Should it not show anything on lcd if everything isnt plugged in? (didnt bother plugging in the antenna plug the digitizer *(waiting for new lcd to plug that in) or the ear piece plug but i thought id at least be able to see the broken lcd light up. Am i wrong or did i mess more than the lcd up possibly?
I kinda expected to break the lcd when taking it out it was so hard.. another 25$ down drain but then again the lcd might have been cracked already not sure. I just hope it works with the new lcd. can i test the new lcd with it taken apart?
there is a guy on ebay selling a brand new replacement front for the TP2. it comes with
everything except the motherboard and back cover. i bought one from him for 70 and
took my motherboard and placed it in the new unit and used my old rear cover. works
like a charm and looks brand new.
well i see the gsm model for 25$ screen and all connected.. But since it seems like no one that repairs them replies (prob to old of a phone) I dont know if it will work, it looks like they all have same connectors so i dont see why the gsm screen would matter.. mIght take the chance and buy one those too to check it out, waiting on a new lcd to put back together to see if this one even works after my disassemble. (im guessing it will i didnt really damage anything but the lcd) 70 sounds like wya to much
yeah $70 was a bit much but it was basically a new TP2 minus the motherboard.
I don't know if the AT&T version will work with the sprint version tho. May want to
do a little more research on this before putting out that Dough.

Hi i have got HTC diamond and i must've sat on it or something, but i have a few large cracks on the internal screen. Touch works fine i mean, everything is in working order, its jsut i have a massive cracks from one side to the other. I'm having trouble finding the right screen because there is the lcd panel with the htc logo and then theres another with just the screen. I want to replace it myself because can't be bothered going through the whole sending the phone off phase. If someone can redirect me to a plae i could get a screen for a reasonable price, that would be great.
Let it go... I'm actually having the same problem and there is one thing you need to know : you need to sold a connector from the LCD screen to the Touchscreen, it's not a connector that you can plug easily.. (((
I just bought a LCD screen and a touchscreen on eBay, but without this sold, it won't work as I would..
I have solder and the kit and if i can find a tutorial somehwere i'm sure it can't be that hard. You said you found it on ebay, do you have a name or maybe a link? how much did you pay? =-s
Ok so i walked into my desk at work last week and cracked the LCD - i had already puchased a new digitiser as my screen was getting pretty scratched up so i figured i'd simply buy a new LCD and take the phone and new parts round the corner to my local phone shop who were happy to replace my screen and return the next day.. great.
Fast foward and now i have a BIG problem. The new LCD doesnt seem to work once the phone has booted. SO, when you turn the phone on you get the usual windows boot screen with the rom info in red in the bottom corner (im using Monx's latese 6.5 rom). After that though it all goes Pete Tong, when then alignment wizard starts the screen goes nuts, flickering like an old TV and not displaying a steady image. The guys at the store say the phone is damaged from the knock to the screen however before I did a hard reset and removed my sim and SD card the parts of the LCD that were still able to display the today screen etc were showing everything correctly and flicker free and even allowed me full touch control with the stylus.
I basically need some advice from people who know a thing or two about replacing Touch Pro screens. Despite what the shop guys say i suspect that my screen is not compaitble with my Touch Pro which is originally a UK Vodafone but i now live in Canada and got the new LCD from the States. The person who sold me the LCD said it was compatible with all Touch Pros & Diamonds, but then he would say that wouldnt he!
My options are either buy another LCD and hope that does the trick or bite the bullet and get a new crappy canadian contract and a new handset. please help me ive tried the search and cant find anything that helps me and im desperate for a solution!
Cheers
Its a LCD issue what you got, my guess is that the person at the store either gave you a faulty one or its a duplicate lcd,also cleaning the LCD connector with alcohol would be a good idea.Its very rare that in the Diamond/Touch Pro category the connector to get damaged.
I dropped my touch pro and cracked the screen in a few places. I think it works normally except for the screen, as it receives calls fine...
A new phone isn't in my budget right now. Does anyone know of a good place (hopefully in DC, MD or VA) that will supply or install a replacement touch screen?
(btw, no recent threads came up when I searched.)
Ebay!
Just looked, $30 including postage for a screen & digitiser if you are able to do it yourself.
How hard is it to replace a screen if it has surface damage? Is there anywhere i could find a walkthrough or help?
Shame man, its a tragedy of what happened to your phone...
Luckily its not too bad, and you may just be able to fix it. You can download the service manual for the phone here: http://htcwinmobile.blogspot.com/2009/03/htc-raphaeltouch-pro-service-manual.html
Just a note though, make sure you DO USE tweezers or something to get the speaker wires out of the way before snapping the enclosure back into position... I had to reopen the phone again, after powering it, to rejoin one of the little wires thats like a tenth of a millimeter thick DO NOT IGNORE ANYTHING THEY TELL YOU IN THE MANUAL. Oh, and what works well for the "plastic removal tool" is a cut out piece of plastic ice cream container. AGIAN, do not ignore anything in there... You are voiding the warranty permanently when you do it yourself (which you unfortunately have to).
Anyways, good luck!
I drop my phone also, but the screen didn't actually cracked! but I do have is problems with the screen in other ways! Sometimes I get a black screen when I turn on the phone and sometimes not, but when the screen turns on, it flickers a lot and have lines thru it. What suprises me is that sometimes I get perfect images on the screen (Which makes me think that the screen it's not damaged).
Any suggestion would be apreciated. Thanks!
3 days and still no answer from anyone! I would like someone to throw me ligth on this issue. I'm waiting for this to know exactly what I need to buy, before I start assuming things.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the LCD connector may have come unseated. You could open up the phone and make sure all connectors are firmly seated if you feel confident in your abilities.

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking on that also and wanted to take my chances opening the phone (oh god!).
BTW, I saw the $30 LCD Screen+Digitizer combo on ebay that Beeble referred to, but I'm not sure if it fits on the fuze (my model). What have come to my mind it's to buy also the front camera of the phone (like a thread on the kaiser) to mod the cell, in case I need to buy the screen+digitizer. I've search all threads about this issue but nobody has done it because it was too expensive for the result; I believe with this price it's worth it right now!
solved

I used Diamod (!) LCD and Touch Pro digitiser. Works perfect.
Much more cheaper
If your screen works fine sometimes, you most likely don't need to replace it. there's probably just a loose connection somewhere. If you really want to replace it though, there's an ebay seller with a really good deal. $20 for the screen and digitizer already glued into a new front body piece: http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-FUZE-LC...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3ef8817bf6 That one's for the fuze, but I think the seller has other models too. I'd definitely get the LCD and digitizer together or else you might end up like I did on my first attempt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584050

WOW! What a long way to get to the screen. Good luck for everyone who tries to dismount and mount the Raphael.

Thanks for the advise maxh,
I just wanted to let you know that a miracle just happened! my cellphone started to work just fine without even opening the phone! it has more than a week on this situation so I believe that it's exactly what you stated (the LCD conector became unseated or loose). Since it's still working, I have no need to open it! so I'll just wait until it becomes defective again and at that point just open it and tight up the LCD connector!
Anyway, I would love if somebody could make the mod that I was refereing to before (changing the screen of the fuze by the touch pro one) and see if it's possible to attach the front camera on the fuze.
Once again, thanks everybody for your opinions.
I got my new display+ digitizer on Ebay (65$) and replaced it, using the russian link mentioned above ( follow the exact procedure) , it took me 2 hours to do it, and after lot of patience it worked! My problem was the digitizer never worked fine, and after replaced it it worked like never before. If You are not familiar with repairs, it will be a mistake and waste of money to buy a display without digitizer. NOW, I have a small problem, my display has a NEW color, it's like color temp is WARM for this display, and COLD for my old display, AND COLOR level is lower, and the result is display without vivid colors, black like gray. Is there any way to change the DISPLAY color settings?
I just got an MZ604 from my friend. He said the display stopped working and eventually sent it off to Motorola. They sent it right back claiming water damage in the following areas: 121009-002454 (cannot find out what that means). My friend does not remember any liquid getting on the Xoom. The unit was useless to him so he gave it to me and bought an iPad.
I brought it home and had it down to the frame and cleaned all contacts with CRC cleaner. I did notice a carmel colored liquid near the lcd connector, not in it, but on the wafer board to the bottom left of the CPU. There was also a small black mark on the lcd connector on the mobo. Obviously that indicates a short, but I did get the screen to come on, but the digitizer was not working.
Now the screen does not come on at all, but the unit powers up. The unit charges just fine and shows up on my PC when I plug in the USB cable. I was actually able to sbf to JB just off of the prompts in RSD. After getting an hdmi cable, I found the output to work properly and oddly the digitizer worked too. By watching the display on my monitor, I was able to tap the keys on the tablet screen until I got the wifi turned on and entered my wifi code. I was able to update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. Both cameras work as well as the speakers and the sd card slot.
My question is this, does it sound like the mobo, or the lcd that is the problem and is the hdmi tied into the lcd output of the mobo somehow? I cannot find a replacement mobo to save my life and I would gladly fork over $60 for an lcd, but I would be taking a shot in the dark. If I cant fix it, I will sell it as a whole unit for parts. The case/screen are in perfect shape.
Any input would be awesome.
I'm in for the unit if you sell it, i don't think it's just your lcd but the mobo
That's what I'm hoping its not. I troubleshoot until I am out of options. I think that point is near. I'll put up some pics.

I have a a spare lcd, trust me you can drop it in your bathtub without risk. All that could happen is corroded contacts
What is the going rate for "for parts" Xoom?
I am uploading pics right now.
The plastic is still on the screen since being returned from Motorola.

Sheesh, good question. A new at Amazon sells for about 300$ on ebay bids for a new are around half that, direct buy for 200. All parts are separately for sale new except the digitizer. What do you find reasonable?
PM sent.
So my photon Q is rather old. Shocking I'm sure. Recently the screen has started behaving very oddly. Flickers, sensitivity is weird, blacks out etc..
I thought perhaps flex ribbon due to keyboard sliding and closing but now I think may be digitizer or the lcd. I"m leaning towards digitizer becasue when it does work it looks perfectly clear. But there will be the one time i push the power to check if I have anything and nothing happens. Reset it and can see the screen wants to do something but can't decide what. Reset over and over and eventually boots up fine.
Digitizer?
Thanks for any info.
Anybody able to chime in
Flickering screen can't have anything to do with the digitizer. The digitizer is just there for input.
It could be that the connector is a bit loose on the mainboard. The way the Photon is designed I wouldn't think it's the ribbon. I could be, but very unlikely. Anyway it's worth looking into the connectors and just to be sure the ribbon as well. But that would take a full dismantle. The connector is just 5 minutes work.
Next time try booting into recovery. If that goes well (and regular boot not) i'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem (GPU).

When boot in any mode Ican't see anything.. A fading circle of grey lines runs vertically down the front. Sometimes after many reboots it fixes itself though. Good to know not digitizer. So take apart and check ribbon and maybe replace LCD likely?
I wonder if it is possible to simply replace the LCD if it's defective or if you have to replace the whole LCD-digitizer-speaker-etc set (which is expensive).

I ordered a replacement lcd screen so will find out. I also ordered the digitizer and flex cable.
So i'm thinking it may be more hardware involved than screen inolved. When it does work everything is usable and it works fine. This is only about 10% of the time at this point. Otherwise it boots up to show some vertical lines traveling down the middle of the screen but only in a circle in the middle of the screen that fades as it gets close to the edges. I'll try taking apart tomorrow night to see if ribbon and what not looks ok. But so far i've invested about $70 into parts and i'm thinkin about just snagging an S5 for $100. I will miss the keyboard though although I can hope that like the s3 and s4, the s5 will get a keyboard attachment. Thoughts?
If I remember correctly the LCD comes with the ribbon and camera connected. The digitizer is connected via a ribbon to a board in the top of the front panel. You could try to disable the pin. When the phone doesn't seem to work, reboot and try calling yourself. If it rings, there's something wrong with the screen and not the phone.
If there was something seriously wrong with the phone, it wouldn't boot. But that's just me guessing/assuming.
My daughter's Photon has had a digitzer replacement twice. And it looks like it's been used to play football. But that one still rocks. No quirks or any strange behavior for that matter.
What I'm trying to say is that the Photon is a decent piece of hardware. A family of four, we all have a Photon. Three of which have had their digitizer replaced and one an LCD (scratched it when replacing digitizer).
I swapped my Razr HD for an Z2. It was time for a new corporate phone. So that, and the camera, is the reason why I went for a Z2. My options were 930/G3/S5/Z2. S5 is not my cup of tea. The G3 has no ruggedness whatsoever. The 930, apart from WP maybe I should have went for it.
So it came down to the Z2. To be honest I'm looking to trade it when the Z3 compact arrives. We'll see.
@Loader009
Digitizer is a part, board for speaker is a part, the speaker itself is a part (adhesive, watch out, btw 100% the same as Droid4), and the LCD is a part on it's own.
Going to open up my phone tonight after work. I was bored and was just playing with the keyboard sliding it open and closed a bunch and now the screen looks perfectly clear.. although sometimes it will still black out and I have to reboot it a few times to get it back. I feel its more a connection inside like you stated earlier. I love my Photon and really don't want to have to get a non slider phone. New phone's are so friggin huge lol.
The good thing is, the PQ has gotten pretty cheap, so you might want to get a used one at ebay if the part to replace is too expensive.
flickering screen (backlight) is not lcd problem.
for 70% is it problem on mainboard - backlight ic. This problem is caused by using unoriginal charger.
and 30% flex problem
I had my screen become un-responsive etc, it was due to a crack in the ribbon. Swapped it out & all ok.
Easier to swap the whole screen assy than to change the ribbon, but depends on what spares you have/can get.
You'd need to have a good look at the ribbon for any damage.
