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 cracked my screen (while it was in the pocket of my jeans). Anyone know where I can find replacement screen? Is it easy to change it?
Thanks

Thank you very much, I will look into this one.
screen seems to work fine, installation was not too hard. However, new screen acts little weird, as once phone is off, backlight turns off immediately, but you still can see image for few seconds under normal light, pixels show through, and then it fades away.
Look for an original AUO H380VL01 or HTC Touch HD Sharp matrix... It's reported to be compatible with our phone
cracked screen too

I installed mine today -after 6 months with broken screen- I bought lcd for HTC Touch HD T8282.It is far more cheaper than the acer one and fits perfectly.ebay item 290424248491.
The HD screen is the same of NeoTouch?
I've paid 70€ for a screen for newTouch, but your proposition is more good: 50€!!
Are you sure it's good for Acer? My touchscreen is OK...
Im using it since last friday. its perfect
I received my screen today, but it's difficult to open this mobile phone!
I remove 5 screw on sur back of the phone, but i don't know what remove
There are two more screws at the left and right sides of battery house

screen now fixed
I took my phone in to a local shop and they were able to change out the screen using an HTC HD screen (yes, the exact same screen as the neotouch). All is fine with the screen. They messed up the power button, but that is another story. I watched the guy do this and it seemed like a hell of a lot of intricate work to do yourself. I was happy to pay the $120. Now, I just need to return and get them to redo the power button (installed it incorrectly when putting it all back together).
For those adventurous enough- go for it, but I suggest the cheaper HD screen. And no, only the screen was replaced, which is under the touch screen/digitizer that actually has the acer logo. All looks as it did before.
I took my neotouch for a motocycleride in the rain. It didn't like it too much and now the touchfunction is messed up on parts of the screen. It all displays as it should but I can't use parts of the screen. I should be allright with just replacing the digitizer right? Ebay item Item number: 170518652337
Hi, the same for me.
Touch doesn't work on some area.
Need change digitizer or LCD?

Hi,
this didn't work in my case. After replacing my broken original lcd screen with a new lcd display (eBay - No. 120608475783, Original HTC Touch HD LCD Display T8282), I can see that the display is switched on, but it doesn't seem to receive any signal (like you turn on your pc monitor but not the pc). Now I have two questions:
1.) If only the lcd display is broken - should I still see something on the display? Because on my broken display, I only have a black and a white part and some coloured stripes, mostly where the display is broken.
2.) Is it possible that there is something more broken on my NeoTouch or did I simply receive a broken lcd panel? It did fall off the couch, completely flat on the display.
fyi: the new lcd was missing some isolation (on the flexible part with some electrical components) which was present on my original lcd. I used some sticky tape as a replacement because it is directly positioned over some other electrical components on the phone when in place.
New Info:
Everything except from the display seems to be fine - when it is connected to my PC running "My Mobiler". But I have seen pictures of mobiles with a cracked screen whre you were still able to see (partly) the homescreen, etc. On mine, I am not able to see anything while the cracked screen is mounted - only white and black parts and some colored stripes...
Update: The delivered display was broken. Yesterday I received a new one which works perfectly!
many thanks in advance

aih, the same story with my f1
anyway could you suggested seller lcd f1 on ebay???
i'm afraid if wrong order with lcd resolution under wvga,,,
some seller show resolution from their prodocut and a lot of seller don't do that,,
please help me..
I was just looking around for an Evo and just wondering if what this person is describing is able to be fixed?
"For sale is an HTC EVO 4G for Sprint. The phone is in great cosmetic shape with only a fey tiny scratches on the side that are barely visable. The phone has a Clean ESN and can be activated. This Evo has what seems to be Software issues. It will turn on and stay on the very first screen upon start up it will not pass this screen. I am not sure what is wrong with the phone and am selling it as-is for repair or parts. email me with any questions."
So I recently purchased a broken HTC One X off craigslist for like $150. It came with a cracked screen and I did a bit of research to find the screen replacements were less than $100 shipping incl. Long story short, the screen replacement thing isn't working out. I can't get the new screen to turn on and I keep getting a red LED light when the "phone" gets turned on. I contacted the seller about it possibly being a bad LCD but he claims that I needed to sync the old LCD, but I no longer have that LCD. So, I was wondering if anyone had any help on how to get the screen working.
Second part, the motherboard is fully functional and everything works when its connected to the PC. Just the screen is bad. I was wondering if anyone knew an app to "screen share" between two phones that might work in this situation so I could maybe ghetto rig a webcam or dashcam. Any and all help is appreciated.
Pics attached are the phone in current state.
Requested moving to Evita forums.

I picked up a used LG G2 from Ebay. The phone is in somewhat great shape and is functional except for the top portion of the digitizer. About an inch, give or take, at the top is unresponsive to touch. I just wanted some input on how common digitizer damage is on this phone. I know most phones these days are very delicate and the digitizers and LCD's can be damaged quite easily. There is a good knick at the top of the phone so I am guessing it had been dropped at one point.
I paid $150 for the phone and I can pick up the LCD, digitizer, and mid body assembly for $65 on Ebay. Just have to slap the internals in the new mid body, throw the back cover on, and done. Phone is good as new. But I don't want to make that investment IF by some chance the problem isn't the digitizer but rather something wonky with the main board. The more input the better. Thanks guys.
It's the digitizer, I sent mine in for the same thing.. Dunno how much it cost tho cause I had warranty. Hope it goes well replacing it

Thanks MaestriFC. While I was waiting on a response for this, I noticed the phone decide to go quirky on me. I looked it up and found on XDA this is a common problem? Phantom touches, etc.? I seen a couple people say it is still the LCD and digitizer causing these issues and replacing them fixed it.
Well I dropped my phone on tile with no case so I don't think it's a common issue (unless everyone is dropping them) but from what I read the digitizer was loose so you would have to open the phone and connect it, or get it serviced, I don't remember getting Phantom touches though..

Yeah. I read on another forum about it and found links to these problems here on XDA. Apparently, this phone going spaztic is a very common thing. Which still hasn't been traced down to any one specific thing. Most are having LG replace their phones just to get another one doing the very same things. I am going to order the new LCD and digitizer though. Hopefully it fixes the issues. Maybe LG got a batch of faulty digitizers or something....lol...here's to hoping.
Make sure you do your research on replacing haha wouldn't want anything else messed up... In my opinion you should just try to connect it properly and see if that works, that's if you're going to open it anyways of course, could save some money.. Good luck :thumbup:

I tried that. I opened it up, and from what I could tell the phone has never been opened. The screws were tight and came out with some black stuff on the threads. That's USUALLY a sign the phone has never been opened. I reseated the top and bottom connectors for the digitizer. The one on top and the one on bottom, I didn't reseat the other one at the bottom though. But I figured that one was for the bottom portion of the digitizer anyway. Which is working. When the phone starts up, every now and again, the "LG" screen will just flicker then boot up. But most times the "LG" screen shows as normal when booting up.
I did also find out from normal calling that the microphone for speaker phone isn't working properly. Normal headset works just fine. But when I switch it to speaker phone people can barely hear me. But that microphone costs like 8 bucks to change so no big deal. I have checked out many youtube vids on fixing this phone. It can be challenging to have to remove everything but I have found just buying the LCD and digitizer already mounted to a new mid body is the easiest way to go.
So the repeating the digitizer didn't work? I would buy the two together as it would be a lot easier than separating the two.. Might just be you had a faulty one after all

I haven't replaced it yet MaestriFC. I will report back in a couple weeks though when I do get the new screen in and get it all replaced. What didn't work was opening her up and re seating the cables. I thought maybe something could have been or come loose but that wasn't the case.
Just an update guys. I got the whole LCD and Digitizer replaced last night. It's only been a few hours but so far everything is great. No more glitching out. As a matter of fact, I had no choice but power the phone down last week. That's how bad the glitching out got. My phone was totally unusable. But now with the new screen, it's working great. If it stays working great then we can assume the problems with this phone are the cause of bad digitizers.
