HTC Sensation Screen replacement

Hey guys, New to the HTC sensation threads (its my Girlfriends phone)
Got her this phone about 6 months ago - 1 week after having it she dropped it and broke the digitizer anyway i got that fixed at my local phone shop with aftermarket digitizer - it worked well but you could tell it was not genuine.
anyway the other week i dropped it and broke the lcd screen yet the digitizer is fine and the phone is still 100% useable - except the display looks awful.
Does anyone know if this is an easy fix, is it worth fixing myself or taking it to the phone shop - Im embarrassed to go back and explain how it has broke again lol.... But i need to get it fixed, Im so close to having my wang removed by my girlfriend.
I was wondering whether or not HTC themselves would repair it ? and maybe replace the digitizer too, I dont mind paying the extra £££ for genuine parts and to be fixed by genuine HTC repairmen..
Any ideas how i can get out this mess ??
sorry for the long post.
Thanks

Off course HTC will repair it, but it'll take longer and probably charge you a lot more than what you can it fixed for.

Out of curiosity do you/your girl not put the phone in a case or something?

Haha, no i did not.. But as soon as i get it fixed im gunna invest in a bulletproof / bombproof carbon kevlar box and keep it locked inside it !!!

Was it bought through a carrier or sim free? Could always take it to your carrier and see what they suggest, although they're not normally the cheapest, but at least it should get done properly.

Yeah i got it through vodafone, I think i will give them a call and see what they say.
I was considering taking out insurance, then in a few days call them and tell them its broken, This is risky.... what do you think the odds are with me getting away with it ?
Do you think they would notice the aftermarket digitizer ? It is an exact replica with HTC on it....
these damn phones are so fragile.... I miss the old nokias

No, you won't get away with it, and it's dishonest, anyway. Don't make yourself a criminal over a cell phone.
Now, that being said, check Ebay. There are lots of vendors in the UK and elsewhere (lots here in the US) that sell replacement screen kits, many of which include instructions and tools.
If you're handy with small tools and careful, you can do this yourself for a fraction of what it will cost you to have it done. I learned this when my kid's iPod battery died some years ago. They're not user replaceable, and Apple wanted some outrageous amount to do it, plus you had to send it away. I found a guy on line that sold batteries with tools and directions, and in 20 minutes, she was good as new.
Pays to do it yourself.

I totally agree with you !! i do not want to result to fraudulent behaviour... BUT, i dont want to pay approx £80 for parts and make the whole situation worse by possibly making more damage.
BUT i also dont want to pay approx £150 - £200 thinking i could of fixed it for much less by doing it myself.
I am good with stuff like that and am very gentle and careful..... but i dont believe in myself lol

I recently replaced mine. Its not too terribly hard to do. But you have to get it just right. Currently the digitizer is a bit slow and unresponsive at time but I think i didnt get it in there completely right. So I'm going to dissaimble is again today and get it suck in better and see of that helps

Since the Sensation screen is made by two different manufactures is it possible to mix and match them or do you have to replace the screen with the same one with phone came with? I have a Sensation that needs a LCD that I have not taken apart yet. Im wanting to get the better screen but im not sure if I can just put the better screen in it if thats not what it came with in the first place.

Well it's much better to replace it with the same display just to be sure it's going to work. There's also a side by side comparison of the Sharp and Acer (AUO) displays
That said, you can check what panel you have using the instructions on this thread:

The display on my phone is completely destroyed so I cant use terminal emulator to look it up :-(
EDIT: I was doing some research on the part numbers on the back of my screen and I found this thread...
http://pdaclub.pl/forum/sensation/dziwny-kurz-pod-dotykiem/
Post #8 has my same part number as mine (74h02057-00M) listed and in the same sentence AUO. So I have to assume it had the AUO screen which kinda sucks.

I dont even have a battery for it at the moment. When the battery arrives ill check it out. I have a feeling im not going to be able to get ADB working though.

I bought this!

Ill let you all know how it turns out....

Well I got the screen and digitizer from the link above today. Installed it and its perfectly fine. No lag anywhere, registers touch like the stock one did. The LCD panel seems to be the same quality as the AUO panel but thats fine with me since im pretty sure this phone came with the AUO from the factory. If you do decide to replace your screen and digitizer i suggest getting them as separate pieces. Having them attached to each other made it sorta difficult to get back together cleanly.

well the day after i got it fixed i knocked it off the side onto tiled flooring, it cracked the lcd but not the digitizer... so weird lol
anyway since then i have had some signal issues with my provider, they have established that the handset is faulty, they are collecting it to repair it.
I still havent had the screen fixed so im just going to see what happens when they go to repair it, Maybe they will think they broke the screen and fix it before returning it to me. Or maybe they wont.... if thats the case i will argue with them that it was fine before they took it away from me
after all, they must have 100's of these phones in boxes gathering dust in their warehouse(s) so a little arguing and im sure i will get it fixed / replaced.
Shhhhh Moms the word !!!

Lol yeah I bet they do..but most of the insurance phones you get after your device breaks are refurbished. Cheap beat up and abused.. then recycled.. lol that sounded like a lifetime channel movie. Well I hope your back up and running again..and how'd that tile doing? Cheers mate

DO NOT try to replace the screen by yourself

I dropped my three-week old HTC one X on driveway by accident. The screen was shattered like a spiderweb. So I ordered a HTC One X screen/digitizer replacement from Amazon.
Today I tried to follow each step described in youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceHw6mezG60). In the last step when tried to separate glass screen from LCD, the LCD was ruined.
The glass and LCD were glued very tight. In my opinion, it is almost impossible to separate them safely. There are some differences in cables and connectors between the US version and the one showed in youtube (i assume it is the international version). There is one cable in the AT&T version that is very hard to disconnect.
Just to be clear, I consider myself very handy in electronics. I hope you can learn from my lesson. Tomorrow, I am going to send the phone to HTC repair center. Since I voided the warranty by disassembling it. I have no idea how much they will charge me.

i learned my lesson on this with a friends Inspire 4G...I have changed many many iphone screens, but the Inspire was a whole different ball game, and i would expect the One X to be even worse.
You are right, pay someone to do it.

Why don't you just order the whole LCD/digitizer/glass module? And of course the things gunna be hard to separate, you need to heat it up A LOT to loosen the glue

Agreed
I learned my lesson with iphone/ipad digatizers. Of course its less than half the price for just the digi but the lcd/digi combo is definitely the way to go. If you do get it separated you have a lot of cleaning to do to get all the old glue/glass off and they are much harder to get back together than you would think. Also invest in a good set of tools. The tools are garbage that they send with the parts.

A screen is about $50, and a screen/LCD combo is at least $180. If I knew it was so hard to separate, I would probably order the combo. Another concern is, I am not really sure that the LCD/glass combo from ebay is as good as that from HTC.

Fyi I had HTC replace my cracked screen. They also replaced the housing (new case, yay) for some reason. They had it for two days plus 3 days shipping time to get it back. Total cost was $220. I'm handy in electronics but seems this is the way to go for now based on costs for the full assembly. They really had great service through the process and you can track the repair online.

Oh how I wish I saw this thread before..
So I sure did break my digitizer.. and when I tried to replace it, it sure was glued to the LCD, and it did come apart lol. On the brighter side, I got a new digitizer and tools, I ordered an LCD but they shipped the wrong one.. but I will say this, I don't think it's that hard to take apart and reassemble.. aside from everything being glued together, and from what I gather the international version is not this way. Everything seems to make sense. I am starting to get lonely without her working. Sometimes I ADB into her just to say hi, mount my storage and make sure I got everything out just in case I butterfingers it and short something out. So aside from my agreement, here are the lessons I have learned.
1) Have a hair dryer handy, that glue is like concrete.
2) Don't just tug that battery cable out, the wires will come out of a socket (took 2 hours to get em back in)
3) For those of you whose digitizers and LCD's are broke.. "adb shell /system/bin/sdutil ums enable" will mount your storage so you can backup some stuff.
4) That torx screw driver you think you might need, haven't seen a torx screw yet, just loads of glue.
5) Take pictures of stuff before you disconnect it, and how you disconnected it for reference in reassembly.
6) This is the correct part # for the LCD 60H00664-01P, except no substitutes.
7) There are little crystal gluey things on the back of the digitizer that go through the case and transfer light. Don't expect them to fully light up ever again without remembering to move them (if you can)
8) It's worth fixing, sure I pre-ordered an HTC-One, but my One X will remain my phone because I love her, she's my first HTC and by far my best android ever. My HTC-One will be for Dev purposes >
9) Resist the urge to take the heat shield off to see if you can upgrade your storage by some kind of hidden micro sd, even if there is one, I'm sure it's got 5lbs of that crappy glue AT&T insisted upon.
10) If you think you want to change your digitizer just to rid your self of the AT&T logo, It's not worth it, I'm in it for 18$ for the digitizer and $43.99 for the LCD. Sure it's worth the money, but my sanity is long gone, I will name my next dog sanity.
You guys are the best ever! Good luck! God Speed!

I think I might do this if AT&T doesn't let me take my upgrade early to the One. So you would recommend HTC to do this? Just out of curiosity, was your phone rooted/romed when you sent it in? How long ago was this done for you?

Well..
Not that if he can't do it no one can, but the threshold of glue being heated to separation vs. the heat destroying the lcd is so close.. and the parts are so cheap to get independantly of one another. In the words of the hunger games.. may the odds be forever in your favor.

Hmm..
LOL figures I would run into a problem like this, new screen stops the phone from booting, old screen fires up the phone, if i plug in the new one while its running, the new one works fine, if i restart, back to death.. i could reassemble with it still running and pray i never need to restart my phone, but that would be messed up.. any ideas?

I've never had problems with it. Even while drinking. Just apply heat, then pull. If it doesn't come that easily, then it isn't hot enough or hasn't heated evenly.

Btw the combo fpr screens and digitizer rins $50-75 on eBay

Hello
Alright, so I had my lcd digitizer combo replaced, since the glass was broken. At first the lcd didnt work because it was AOM or something like that and wasnt Sharp's model like originally, but i syncded it as follows:
1.Took out the battery
2.Connected the old screen
3.Put back your battery
4.Start your phone
5.Wait about 2min to be sure
6.Take the old screen and replace it by the new
7.Press power button
8. Should be running and working.
But now.. after assembly it does detect the sim card, but gets no signal, so i cant make calls go to internet etc.. But wlan however does work ?
is there something I broke in the progress or ..
Hoping for some help, thanks

Sure sounds like you didn't re-connect the cell antenna correctly. Those ribbon cables are a *****. Could also be the little EMI tabs that come off of the blue antenna PCB and connect to the case, I would think (just guessing, as I'm staring at my disassembled phone right now).

[Q] mt4gs wont turn on vibrates once

hello all looked every where seen similar ? but know answers any where .....have mt4gs that wont turn on just vibrates once was having problems with screen stuff looked distorted rainbow colored or screen not responding would have play with phone like slide keyboard in and out to get working again .....couldnt get to work pulled out battery put back in wouldnt start up.......same thing happen to the one before that similar prob still have it does same thing vibrates once........from what i gather from other posts is it might be flex cable have it apart flex cable looks fine ...would i be able to see if flex cable is messed up......... could it just be something came loose.......these are both factory oem no mods ...

If it's still under any kind of warranty I'd send it back with a note to quit returning the same phone to you. If you CAN send it, put a small indelible mark under the battery so you can check. If it's NOT covered you could theoretically fix it yourself if you're "electronics repair" inclined but it's not for the faint of heart....i.e., not easy.
If they try to SELL you another, you can get them on Ebay for half of what they'll try to sell you one for. For what they'll try to sell you one for, you can buy a Nexus 4 from google that's unlocked.....with enough change to take your GF out for a nice meal. A REALLY nice meal.

no warranty , not new to electronic repair or modding ....have two of these phone dont want to throw them out ..especially if it only needs and 18 dollar flex cable ...which would be cheaper than buying any used phone....... trying to find some info first so i dont waste money on flex cable for no reason ...ps phone is totally apart..........i think phone is turning on but nothing happens with screen and screen was buuging out when stopped working both times on both phones ..... any ideas thanx

Look at all the videos first.....

I just rebuilt my Slide (bought a new one that had a bad M/B on eBay for $65)--I tried to replace the digitizer & ended up breaking the LCD screen...The flex cable is between the LCD & the screen back mount....so it's not the easiest job.......Do yourself a favor & check out all the video on youtube first.

not a problem ..phones apart ...got skillz..... just looking for info ....i can take apart and put back together just about anything thats not the problem.ive done digi's ,broken screens,flex cables, power and volume buttons............ ive heard of this problem before just want to make sure i have the right solution ...so i dont buy the wrong part thank you
ps ...please no more posts about how hard it is.....

He does have a point, this phone is a pain in the ass compared to most, I too have disassembled many phones used to have a side business repair phones, and this was is possibly the biggest pain when it comes to how much sticky is used.
Anyway yeah it sounds like the main flex cable and that's where I would start.

So end result fixed first one....installed new main flex cable.....and tested it powered up and works fine just have to go back and screw her all together...was pain in the ass at the point where you need to separate lcd from slide housing but well worth will do another one tomorrow ....always first ones a ***** but not as hard as made to seem ......if any one needs help get at me will give pointers. will update again tomorrow
if any one has mt4gs and vibrates once and screen does not turn on its good bet its the main flex cable

same issue....

There are multiple screen options for this phone, they all fit but aren't interchangeable, make sure your new one is made by the same company as old one

the phone was givin to me and i ordered the part on ebay it came from china. the package says. LH00042 LCD DISPLAY TOUCH SCREEN FOR MYTOUCH 4G. how would i know if it is the right part?

There are a few ways, usually the manufacturer is stickered on the back or product number. If you can't find this there is a line indented across the back of one and not the others

few days ago my HOX ATT fall down. all the buttons were ok but after some days they had stopped working. i have tried to do factory reset but it didnt helped. all the touch screen works but the buttons not. i sent the HOX to Repair shop and they told me they have not seen thing like this before that only part of the touch digitizer working.
can you help me solve the problem?
Thanks.

The fact that the repair shop has never seen it before, does that mean they won't even try to fix it?

He said that he need to order this part to fix it and he even not sure that it will work.
is this hardware problem?

Since you dropped the phone recently, I'd be inclined to say yes.
I'd try to RUU, and if the problem persists, its probably a hardware failure caused by the drop.

Please search the forums regarding LCD changing. It's not an easy task.

You must buy the entire LCD - Digitizer -light guides bundle . It's almost impossible to separe the screen from the LCD, so buying the digitizer is a waste of time if you dont have the LCD.

the same thing for me, i have tryed everithing and not fixed yet, in a few weeks you will see how other parts in the touch screen will not work too.

As javierarenas has said, Purchasing the digitizer alone is a bad idea. Nearly impossible is an understatement. even with a heat gun and an unlimited amount of patience you would be lucky to separate the digitizer from the LCD.
As Redpoint said, if RUU doesn't fix it, you will need a new screen.
Take the phone apart prior to buying the screen. Check the colors of the ribbon cable and try to find the EXACT same screen. This will save you a lot of trouble. Make sure to keep the old screen in case you need to sync the new screen otherwise you are totally screwed.
Good luck.

I tried taking apart my phone and it was not an easy task.....AT ALL! MAKE SURE TO BE PATIENT!

Funny thing is I never had to take mine apart. But did have to reattach the screen, sat down with phone in back pocket and when I pulled it out it had separated the screen from body and had to use some iPhone screen double sided tape to glue back down.

I have never taken apart a Note 10.1 ... BUT!
What I would do is remove the screen and go through the install process again. Make sure all cables are plugged in properly

thanks, that's one thing I'm planning on doing, cause I'm wondering if something was missed, but like how the screen comes on and it detects the pen.

I replaced my digitizer 2 months ago and it worked fine until now. It has all kinds of "phantom" touching going to the point where it's barely usable, but recognizes the Spen fine. I checked the connections and wiped all data and flashed a backup, but nothing helped. It's also doing the phantom touches in recovery, so I figure it's pretty safe to assume that the digitizer is the problem.
I'm getting a replacement digitizer on Friday, so hopefully that is indeed the problem. Let me know if you find anything else out.

I by no means an expert, but I'm guessing it's your digitizer. If you just got it last week, you could contact the seller and see if they'll do anything to help. Did you buy it off ebay, or where? Mine will be here tomorrow, hopefully I'll find time to get it in and see if that was really my problem.

Ok arrived in US today wil try and get another

I bought a digitizer that didn't work too. It seems to be a bit of luck involved getting one that does.
Not all digitizers we can buy for our note 10.1 are the same. There seem to be many different manufacturers.
What does it say on the ribbon of the digitizers you guys bought that didn't work?

Okay, I just got my replacement one in and my tablet is back to normal. The ribbon of the one that didn't work said "Expresso 10 0.3T_Rev03 YP1214/ LF_A_G 2012.03.08"
The one I just put in (got both of these from the same EBAY seller) just says "NOTE 10"
So far it works fine, but the first one worked for 2 months before giving up.

Wow nice I cant even remember where I got this one.
But glad you got that working
If you can send me the link for the one you bought would appreciate it.
Thanks
