I just broke the touchscreen on my imate. The screen itself looks good and is working but I am missing a big part of the touchscreen (can't tap on it). Learning the fun of using the buttons.
I have been searching for quiet a bit on the web for someone who sells replacements and instructions on how to do it.
If you have any ideas please let me know.
PDASmart.com and GetHighTech.com don't have it and to send it back it will be $300+, looking for a cheaper resolution.
FWIW: I took it apart already, the screen has these numbers on it's back:
S/N: 1LLA23CA096717
P/N: 60H00011 - 00
ACX502AKN-7 350A73D
(the acx number seems to be a sony part number but I can't locate the part anywhere)
The number on the touchscreen is F2 NY-A29B 002
(I am attaching pictures, I have the hi-res version if interested)
Thanks,
Amr
digitizer found!!
Hi all,
I sent my imate to pdascmart.com, I just got word from them that they now do replacements for digitizers and screens for the imate/xda2/mda2.
However, replacing them is extremely hard and not like the xda. It is recommended to send it to them unless you have good experience in fixing electronics.
The ribbon on this screen is soldered not connected like the xda.
I'm really sorry for you..
well ive got mine changed.. a friend of mine who lives in london.. said he would arrange to get a replacement from O2(though i have i-mate).. it cost me about 260$..
anyways im curious how did you get it broke???
Hi there,
I have a really desperate problem
I've got an Orbit II bought in Germany and I'm not covered by their guarantee here in Moscow. So, I happened to be a very lucky one and the touch screen of my device is faulty - it has a gray stain on it clearly visible on a white background.
I found a replacement screen for the Touch Cruise here but what the technicians discovered yesterday was that the screen was actually the same, but the cord on that TC screen (stub, whatever) sticks out at a different place than on mine!
Found out one more thing:
Orbit 2 = Polaris 200.
TC = Polaris 100.
Guys, can anyone help me find a source to buy a replacement screen for Orbit 2 in Germany or UK?
Thanks a whole lot in advance!!!
I have posted a request for you over in the german ppc-Welt Forum
Maybe someone gathers some information there. I will keep you updated.

Well, thanks for these links... But I don't want to dismantle anything. I just need to buy the whole touchscreen assy.

But the problem is that the display on the photo is for TC, NOT for Orbit 2
As I said earlier,
but the cord on that TC screen (stub, whatever) sticks out at a different place than on mine!
You see, the cord on this one sticks out in the lower left corner of the screen. But mine is in the middle of the left side.

Interesting because on the posted link,
they state it fits for following devices:
HTC:
Touch Cruise
Polaris
P3650
XDA mini II
O2:
XDA Orbit 2
This would assume, that it is the same for all models
Maybe best is to email them and describe your problem by support form:

Wow!!! Thanks! Seems to be a really interesting site! I think I'll be careful though
If you have changed your display successfull, please post a small how-to.
Too bad... these cnn people seem to be offline and off work.
I wonder if this site has ever been really working...

Did you order one?
http://cnn.cn/shop/p3650-touch-cruise-polaris-c-277_456.html
No, haven't ordered anything yet. But these guys have told me finally that their screen is incompatible with my Orbit but they will try to find one that is
I hope to have news next week.
Will this

be the whole screen or are there two parts (lcd and digitizer).
How do I know, what is broken?
On my device there is a small black spot like ink and a tiny crack from the whole left to right. Display is working fine except the black part, the touchscreen works everywhere.
What parts do I need?
Thank you
JueLue
Well, I was informed by those technicians who disassembled my device that I needed the whole screen. That's the only thing I know.
So, I can't help you here.
I have a dent\scratch in the housing, and multiple scratches on my screen
I'm actually thinking about selling my TC, cause of all the issues, etc.
I wonder if it's worth it to buy the housing and screen replacements...hm
I'm gonna wait until someone here has successfully used one of those kits and successfully dismantled the device.
Knowing me, I would definately destroy it without reading a how-to from someone who has actually done this before
Hello Dimitry N!
Have you got some news for us? Did you get a new LCD screen? And how to replace? Many questions....
I got myself a TC instead.
The Orbit 2 has a Samsung (!!!) touch screen, which is a real piece of ****.
The one on the TC really does have the viewing angle of 180 degrees, as it was advertised.
The Orbit 2's screen - no. When you look at it from the "top", the image on the screen darkens a lot, and vice versa. And the image on the TC screen is a lot crisper! I can tell this by holding the 2 devices together right now!
What a pity! O2 decided to include some nice accessories like the car charger and the car holder, and saved on the screen instead!
So, I will sell my Orbit 2!
EDIT:
I know this won't change your life or similar, but i'm happy to inform you that i've replaced my broken LCD with one i bought on eBay (from vendor shop-uk)!!! My wizard is alive and kicking again!!!
Small info for those of you with the same problem:
Be aware that there are two different version of the LCD component for our wizard:
- Samsung LTP280qv-e01 (HTC part no. 60h00032-00) a.k.a. First Gen, a.k.a. gold cable ('cos the connector's color is orange/gold)
and
- Toppoly TD028STEB1 (HTC part no. 60h00037-00) a.k.a. Second Gen, a.k.a. black cable (connector's color black)
THE TWO ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE!!! If you need to buy a new LCD disassemble the old/broken one first, and check the serial number. Then order the replacement you need.
Bye ALL!!!!
-------------------------------------
Hi all,
my wizard hit the ground, literally (sigh!) and now the lcd is broken, so sad. The phone still works though, and i'd like not to buy another phone, i'm in love with my vario too much!
Do you know where can i find a new LCD to replace the broken one? Is it too hard to replace the screen? Or so you think i should definitely abandon my beloved and buy a new phone?
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated, i'm so sad
Bye

Oh man so sorry to hear about the damage to your Wizard. Ebay will have what you need not sure about costs or how to replace the LCD but I believe the instructions for replacement are here in the forum somewhere. A quick search should uncover them.
I quickly looked out on Ebay and found screens for $32.99US plus $7.99US shipping not sure about getting the item to Italy but at least you have an idea of the cost.
Good Luck,
Kirby
Hello everyone,
When I was browsing my fb today I stumbled upon this photo of a Galaxy S II plus that has a kind of broken screen. As you can see what it should display is shifted to the left. This guy isn't really a techy and has no idea of custom roms etc. Now I'm wondering is this something in the software? Because I can buy it very cheap from him, and if I only have to install CM I would have a very cheap good working phone
If it's something in the hardware is it solved by replacing the screen? (since this also includes some other things)
I did a bit of research but didn't find someone with the same problem, if you have seen a thread about this before please give me a link
thanks in advance!
Francis
never mind he dropped his phone, so it's a hardware thing
Do you have this too when you turn on your phone, or when you are in Download Mode?
Hello forum,

Hello & welcome to xda-assist,
to my point of view you already answered the question yourself, if there's any doubt you did that replacement right and it isn't working like it should you likely made a mistake, only recommendation is to triple check the procedure you did by comparison to a replacement /tear down video and find the error, also check if you really bought the right hardware...
Following link shows some tutorials & stuff, time to solve some riddle, I'd guess..

Nothing till now
Dear friend, thank you for your fast response,
i contact them and i sent them a video and they answered this:
Thank you very much for ordering our product and for kindly bringing the issue to our attention.
For this problem we have confirmed with product department,the screen is not welded and needs to be reworked.
So what i have to do? i told them that i re-asseble the phone many times.. what means that the screen is not welded??
Thank you one more time my friend!!
