So i purchased a LCD/digitizer from eBay and received it in the mail this morning. I followed the steps and was able to get my cracked screen (digitzer&lcd) off. After assembling it all with the new screen i ran into an issue.
There is no response from the screen at all it is just black. The phone boots fine though because it vibrated and then a few minutes later i can hear my notifications go off and the led is flashing.
could it be a bad connection with the wires, if so what one should I look at, Did i buy a faulty screen, or am i just sol?
is there any difference between a One X and a One XL screen?
any help is appreciated.
purchased from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271006361868?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2923wt_1218
Could be bad connection..there is a YouTube vid on replacing it..

yea that is what i am assuming since nothing was working but i just wanted to see if anyone else ran into this issue :/
I've successfully replaced the lcd/digitizer on my htc one xl, and gonna be doing another one soon. Make sure the connections are fully clamped in place. the top connection closest to the htc/at&t logo on the screen controls the touch, while the bottom connection controls the picture. So just see if the bottom connection is damaged or maybe out of place. If nothing is wrong with them then you may have a faulty screen. I suggest always testing the screen before actually putting everything in place with the adhesives, so just connect it first and if it works then you can reassemble everything.. I'm not too sure whether there is any difference with the htc one x and one xl screen. As far as I know they should be very similar. But I would definitely stay on the safe side and get only the screen that is made for your device. I have not attempted using one with the other.

I have just replaced my digitizer (was dust under the screen and also a scratch on the digitizer itself, along with the fact I damaged it removing the sticky tape) and the whole screen is almost completely unresponsive. Brand new, but wont work fully until I touch the screen for a bit or give it time to sit after activating the lockscreen.
Once it is through it's "warmup" the screen works flawlessly. It just acts like a slug before that... Also rendering the quick launch lock screen completely worthless. Anyone have any ideas what could be the culprit?

I too replaced a broken screen on my sensation, and i am experiencing the exact same problem as you. Only for me it's only the lower left part of the screen that 'takes time to warm up'.
Did you find any solution?
Not yet. I have another digitizer on order, and fingers are crossed. If not, ill be biting the bullet and waiting for the nexus prime. I have this feeling that it is something other than the digitizer which is extremely sensitive. If people are claiming responsiveness issues after a week or two of use, and while on their sixth or seventh sensation... It sounds like something is slowly deteriorating or building up.

I don't think it's the digitizer either, probably something else ont he phone. However i don't think it is the same problem as everybody else is having, since they experience their screen being unresponsive in general rather than just after turning on.
I am though going to try some of the fixes suggested, i.e. improve the grounding by placing some aluminum foil under the cover and see if it helps.
What does "turning on" mean? Cold boot up? If so, then the CPU on the phone will be busy doing stuff. If you mean waking up from sleep, then that's another problem.
for me it's both cases, both when booting the phone and just when turning the screen back on. What's strange is that it is only the lower part of the screen that's frozen :-S after 10-20 seconds it suddenly springs back to life just as nothing had happened and works flawlessly until i turn the screen of. Then i see the exact same problem again.
I also noticed now that the screen also freezes after calling somebody and when you hang up :-0 I really don't know what is wrong with the phone!
If the phone is unsecured (never sleeps) it will work flawlessly. As soon as I click the top button to secure the screen, or take a phone call, once I try to unlock/ use the screen again... The problem comes back. The left side of the screen is the most responsive, usually moving my finger around for about five or ten seconds will restore full sensitvity. I received a new digitizer in the mail, just waiting on tape. Interesting note; they are different digitizers. The original was HTC/ tmobile brand while the replacement is simply HTC. The ribbon cable also reads different. My original: pyd v1.0, sw-10 94v-0, e3082521117. The new one reads: pyd v1.0, e21954-1, ruICACichia, 94v-0 1112. The current digitizer replacement is also a standard HTC label... I wonder if it is because it isn't a specific model replacement.

Alright so i tried doing all the fixes related to the grounding issue, and i didn't affect anything at all.
I'm going back to the repair shop today (have a three months warranty) to tell them to have a look at it again and see if they can fix the issue. Maybe they have a spare digitizer they could try instead of my current one. I will let you know if anything helps!
Sounds good. I am betting its either an incorrect digitizer for the model of phone (us/eu/whatever) improper mounting or damage, or just planetary alignment or something equally stupid. I'm really hoping someone figures out this problem... It is frustrating to spend more time figuring out how to fix a phone than you actually do using it.

True, had i known from the start i would probably just have bought a new phone, rather than spend on the money on getting the screen replaced :-S
Well, I replaced the digitizer for a second time. Seems to be the same thing so far. Different initial responsiveness spot (looks like the right side might be more sensitive now) but I didn't have high hopes. I wonder what it could be...

So i went back to the repair shop and got it fixed. I guess they weren't in the mood for scientific inquiry, because they simply disassembled the phone and installed a new digitizer. After that everything is working fine, altough i will never know if it was the digitizer itself or some faulty wiring somewhere :-S
Worked for me
I have had exactly the same problem you all have experienced. The first digitizer I ordered from a company on e-bay gave me huge problems at the unlock screen. Bought a new one from skalshop and it works perfectly. I even tried it without tape to make sure it worked before I glued the thing together and it worked perfect.
I run a cell phone repair company and we do quite a few repairs but this in particular HTC One X has us all stumped here. We do realize that there are 3 different versions of the dig/lcd and we have the correct part. But has anyone had problems with trying to replace the HTC One X dig/lcd assembly. It seems that after I put the new part on the lcd is black but the phone is still on. I even went back and put the old screen back on and it is still black. Prior to the repair the lcd worked fine. But just the digitizer was cracked. I have even went as far as changing the motherboard on the phone to a new one and am still having the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Have you checked the ribbon length to make sure you do not have a break?

It would seem to me as though it's just as simple as one of the connectors is not plugged in or just not plugged in properly, which is easy to do since one of them is on the underside of the board which I believe is the one for the screen itself.

OP already stated that going back to the original LCD did not yield results.

Exactly. Seems like the only probable answer is that something was broken during teardown - either a cable or connector. Given the size of everything in there, it doesn't take much....
Did you ever find a solution to this?
I'm kind of in the same boat at the moment, BUT there's a silverish lining
In the midst of replacing a screen on my One X. Phone is obviously "on" (despite being in pieces on my desk), but n either the new or old screens will come on when I push the power button.
For a lark, I plugged the phone in, and did an 'adb reboot'
My splash screen comes up on the new screen just fine, as does the Viper Logo and my home screen and everything.... but once it shuts off the power button will NOT re-wake it up. At first I thought "I must have broken the power button" but I also forced a notification to it - which also typically wakes up the screen - and also saw nothing.
EDIT : Cancel that; for some reason the power button didn't work until I had the case back on. Grounding maybe? Either way, working fine now.
Some Ebay product page for a screen replacement said you should first power on the device with the old screen, then take the old screen out while the phone is running and put the new one in.
Maybe you should trie that. I'm not a hardware expert, so do some research before trying this and don't blame me if it doesnt work
That will only work if the screens not working. Op. It's difficult to narrow the issue in your situation. If the flex cables don't work, it's a short which would require much more advanced knowledge to fix.

When I turn my phone on after a full charge, it shows a solid red light in the LED display and I cannot see anything on the screen? What does this mean and how can I fix this? I am attempting to replace the screen/digitizer on my HTC One X, and I am positive I have connected this display correctly
Are you sure you got the correct screen? There are three different models for this phone and you must ensure you install the right one. Also, did you sync the screen?
Sent from my Evita
Well I purchased the screen off of Ebay and it states "Original OEM Assembly Full LCD Display Screen Touch Digitizer HTC One X OneX". The screen looks to be the right one upon comparison between my old one and new one. I have a telus HTC One X, which is the same as the AT&T version, I am not sure about how to find the version of the screen. I thought that they would just be compatible, otherwise I will be getting a refund. So how can you tell if the screen is the correct one?
Also I am unfamiliar with how to sync the screen. I am following a youtube video which shows you how to test the display by connecting the display. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIeO0DueMcg
You can tell if the screen is the right one by the flex cable connected to it. If it is the same as the old flex cable and the same colour then you have the right screen. To sync the screen you need to remove the old screen and install the new screen while the phone is powered on.
Sent from my Evita
Ok, the cables are the same colour and everything so I think it should be fine. I disconnected the battery and the reconnected it, turned on the phone with the old damaged screen in. It started up and flashed green once briefly (this is normal), and then the LED light went solid red.
I then took the old screen out, and plugged the new one in and still had no activity.
BTW I really appreciate your help. I will definitely do my best to explain what is happening, I can even post pictures or video if necessary.
It's possible you've damaged something during the installation process. It's a bit hard to say. To be honest I'm not much more help other than what I've already posted here, that's about the extent of my knowledge when it comes to replacing the display.
Sent from my Evita
Thats ok, your input was still valuable. I think it might be a battery issue. I don't see anything immediately noticeable that I could have damaged, I was quite careful during the whole process. I bought a new battery for $10 and I will try putting that in when I get it. Before I had charged my old battery fully it was flashing red, which I read meant it was on low battery. So I charged it, and now its solid red even when the charger is not connected. I am not sure what this exactly means but hopefully if people like yourself keep posting suggestions I might just figure this out!
I tried replacing the screen on my One X and when I hooked it up it seemed to work fine. Once I confirmed the screen/digitizer worked I put the battery in and put it all back together. Then the screen decided not to work and wouldn't display anything but lines and some light. I'm not sure what happened, maybe pushing the assembly into the housing pulled the ribbon out of the phone. I'm not sure.
I'm thinking about upgrading to the XL or X+ but I'm curious, is there a chance my phone is damaged aside from the screen? When I have it plugged into the computer and turned on it isn't detected at all. Also, when I confirmed the screen worked I noticed I had a bootloop, which is odd since it worked fine before. I'm not sure what I did
And no, unfortunately debugging is disabled :/

Perhaps you shouldn't have attempted the repair yourself if you don't really know what you're doing. My suggestion would be to take it to a professional and get them to inspect the device. By the way, you're posting in the wrong forum, this is the HTC One XL forum.
Part of my screen isn't responding to touch, so I decided to take the phone apart. I guess I was a little rough, but only broke two spring loaded connectors, which I think should be fine once I solder them back on. Anyway, I tried turning the phone on and it failed. I tried plugging in the usb connector to the computer and my computer keeps giving that disconnected sound. I was able to turn on the phone prior to disassembling...any ideas what happened?
Also, I have to replace the power button since it was also being non responsive and the tip got lost....
It's almost impossible to say what's wrong with it without seeing the device because you could have damaged any component and not know it. Are you certain the screen just isn't working as opposed to the device not turning on? Is it showing up as anything on your PC? Is there any reaction from the led upon connection via usb?
Also, exactly what device do you have? You haven't identified it at all.
Sent from my Evita
Sorry I have the HTC One X... I'm pretty sure the device isn't turning on...because the screen would turn on before. Nothing shows up on my PC except that it's trying to identify the device and there's no reaction from the LED on the phone
If you have the HTC One X (Endeavoru) you're in the wrong forum, this is the HTC One XL / at&t One X (Evita) forum. It's best to get advice in the right place because although our devices look similar they're very different internally. I'll ask for this thread to be moved to the right device subforum for you.

Hmmm not sure which one I have, but I do have the North America one with AT&T
Ahh, ok, you have the HTC One XL Evita then.

Thank you for verifying!
Well since I already disassembled the entire thing and still waiting on parts...I'll wait and see if replacement of power button and screen fixes the issue. If not, I'll report back with pics of the board reassembled
