Hi, my friend gave my his LG Optimus I7.
He dropped and since then, the display is not working, well, actually its kinda blurry. You can still see some of the things, but its not that clear.
Anyway, he bought a new one and gave me that to see if I could maybe fix it.
I already have a phone as well, but I thought I would give it a try.
I've seen displays on ebay and amazon that are pretty cheap, around 30 bucks, and I think I can give it a shot and try to replace it.
But before hitting the buy button, I got a doubt about the display. I know that the screen is Amoled, or super Amoled, but I was wondering if the screen replacement that I would be buying off amazon is going to be the same.
I mean, I don't want to get a screen that its not going to look as good as the original one.
This is the screen I saw and that I want to get
http://www.amazon.com/Display-Scree...2934103&sr=1-2&keywords=lg+optimus+l7+display
Will it work? Will it be HD and crispy clear?
Im sorry if this is an incredibly noob question, but I just wanted to be sure.
Thanks

So year i dropped my phone in the bathroom and cracked the screen and now i can only see a tiny portion of the screen. Considering i also have the newton ring on my phone i think its time for a new lcd and digitizer. Would someone with experience in this area take a look at the following link and let me know if this is all i need for a replacement.

You didnt say what phone you have!
If you have a Touch Pro then it looks right - i believe the fuze screen is slightly different (no front camera) so if you use this screen on the fuze you may see something through the camera lens.
I replaced mi display , it took me 2 hours to do it, but finally it worked fine. The only issue was the new display has a different color, the digitizer just worked perfect, even better than new, but the color is different, now the colors are less vivid and less brighter, I will try to adjust the display color settings, I will do it tonight.
oh wow good eye didnt even notice that. i guess ill go with this one i just found.

hey GussMiami, do you DIY your screen replacement?
I would like to replace my LCD by myself, but I do not know how to do it,,, tried to youtube it with 'replace touch pro lcd screen' or some thing like that but came up nothing.
tq before,,,
ps: if I have blue spots on my screen, is it some kind of dead pixels?
Xue v.2 there are a couple of guides around on replacing the screen http://www.att-phones.org/att-htc-fuze-user-manual.html
I ordered a new Digitizer and LCD for my Fuze yesterday as mine is somewhat scratched up, the job does not look particularly easy, at the moment I am debating finding someone else to do it for me vs possibly wrecking my phone doing it myself, from what I have read the hardest part is making sure not to break any cables/wires (commonly I see people breaking the speaker wires).
oh thank you naiku,
well, I think I will buy the lcd+digitizer for 30usd from ebay and have htc care to replace it for me,,,
plus I need to fix the keyboard as well. Let the pro doing the fix LoL
Hi Guys
Does anyone know where I could buy a fairly cheap HTC Desire screen?
I regretably broke my screen by throwing it :/ and for the past few months it has been working but some of the screen just wouldnt respond. But now the whole thing has cracked and I cant use the screen at all.
I have looked into getting it fixed by professionals and screens online but seeing as it isnt a new module anymore,when I do come to the end of my contract in October,i wont get much for it if I sell it. Therefor I dont really want to spend a great deal fixing it.
For the mean time I am using my friends HTC Diamond but it just doesnt compare to the desire!
Any suggestions would be appritiated
Thank you
how cheap?
well, it depends on how "cheap" by your definition.
I see one seller from ebay.uk sells it for around £20.99 right now.
good luck !
That price is perfect. Compared to the £45-50 price range that Iv seen!
Do you have the link?
Thank you
Try: htc desire lcd -(z, hd, s, protector, protectors, silicone, cover, case, stylus, clear, guard)
Sort price low->high then choose one you are happy with, the -(x, y, z) should get rid of most the rubbish that hct desire lcd brings back
sorry for a-bit late reply.
can't post a link due to my low # posts.
but for the shop I refer, just search for "Desire display" and look for the £20.99 price (seller name's = macrobolous)
Are we talking about a screen or a Digitiser?
Is the outer glass broken? Can you feel the cracks with your finger?
If you can, its the digitiser. If you can't, its the screen. That can either be AMOLED
or SLCD.
I bought an AMOLED screen from Ebay UK and it works perfect. £20.99 + P&P.
here you go
you can get on from ebay or use those links...

Everyone has answered it. Ebay I import most things from those China sellers, but never tried screen.
Hi, i am in desperate need of a lcd display for a 7 pro but they are seriously hard to get hold of!
I have looked on ebay and theres only ones from HK or China and even then the sellers feedback on screens is poor!
I have phoned countless repair shops in the uk and only a couple claim to be able to get hold of the screen but then demand that they fix the phone themselves and a stupid fee and will not supply the screen to me.
one thing i have noticed it that the touch pro 2 and 7 pro screens look identical apart from the colour of the ribbon that connects them to the main cable that goes through the slide body.
there is no visual difference between the screens or connector cables other thab colour and they have the same specs also-
480 x 800 pixels, 3.6 inches and a 259 ppi pixel density
Does anyone know if they are actually interchangeable or not? i cant find a screen anywhere and my wife is not pleased with me right now as ive only just got the phone and a broke the lcd trying to remove the digitizer even though i was ultra carefull and used lots of heat, please can someone help!!!!
Thanks, Steve.
Hello! To most simply answer your question, no. The screens are very different despite looking similar. The old TP2 screen is not multitouch and WP7 requires this. Also, the old screen utilizes a stylus while the newer 7 pro screen doesn't even recognize that type of touch.
It is your phone after all, so if you would like to try this that's your choice. However its too much effort to affix the ribbon to the pcb to even make it worth it. My old TP2 has a cracked digitizer which I have a replacement for, but the ribbon is machine pressed onto the pcb and reattaching this connection would be very difficult without the type of heat/pressure used in the manufacturing of the phone.
If you decide to try it let us know the results!
I'm sorry, I just seen you said the lcd itself, I thought you were meaning the digitizer screens.
That being said, maybe the swap will work, as long as they hook up the same?

i found a seller with genuine touch pro 2 screens who is willing to take it back if it does not work for me, i will let everyone know if it works!
I can confirm, the touch pro 2 screen does NOT work in the 7 pro, it is almost identical but the conector is at most 1mm wider than the 7 pro but its enough to stop if fitting into the socket
Back to the drawing board for me i guess.

not sure if you still need an LCD, or maybe you got a new phone by now. I found this if your still interested in getting it up and going again.

not been on for a few days, thankyou for the link its still there and in europe!
I bought another 7 pro handset as i could not wait any longer, i had been forced back to my old Touch pro (raphael) and although not a bad phone and running a custom 6.5.3 rom , it just cant cope on the web anymore as all the standards have changed and nobody is supporting windows mobile anymore.
Its a shame cos windows mobile is by far a better operating system than windows phone, updated and running on better hardware it would have rocked.
even though i bought a new handset ive always intended on fixing the other one when i get the chance and have put a bid on that screen to remove the buy it now.
Fingers crossed that it dont go up in price, my wife will kill me if spend much more on these phones lol
once its fixed its going to go in its box and live in a safe place till ive worn out this new one, dont think i wll sell it, thanks for your help, you get a thanks meter point for this :good:
Steve.
You are welcome I was a little worried you might not get to the link fast enough but thankfully you did! I seen that and figured its a steal considering the lcd is nearly that price alone, plus all the work needed to change it. Good luck I hope you win it
Thanks geeze

as long as you get the right screen, theres no reason why you cant do it yourself, just go slow, very slow, read tutorials and be very carefull of all cables and boards inside. if it its the glass digitizer that is broken and not the whole display, be very very carefull when removing it from the lcd as theres a big chance of breaking the lcd as its removed, heat to relax the glue is your friend! if the glass is shatterd, removing the glass bit by bit instead of trying to remove it all at once may proove easyer and less risky on the lcd.
Good luck, steve.
Look at this auction: http://www.ebay.pl/itm/HTC-7-pro-Arrive-T7576-LCD-Display-/141028832234?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20d5f933ea&_uhb=1 this is display for 7 Pro.
Hi there, could anyone tell me based on experience, a really good LCD Screen + digitizer for me to buy? I can buy from ebay.in or ebay.com but there are hardly any ratings at all. If anyone has bought one, could you please tell me about the quality, link and if so, any defects? I would much appreciate it, thanks. Basically my screen is cracked an unresponsive, so i'm guessing I need LCD+Digi.

Hi, less than a month ago my screen also cracked, so I had to buy a new screen. Before buying it, I unmounted the phone and I had one more problem: the battery was COMPLETELY glued to the screen and I wasn't able to take it out. So finally I bought the screen and a new battery from eBay.
I bought this screen: ebay.com/itm/181445812771. I'm completely sure that the screen is the original one. I compared it with my cracked screen and they were exactly the same, except for the date printed in each screen, and it has a good quality, just as the screen that I had in my phone. BUT it was clearly used: the earpiece was a bit dirty and it had some glue on the back, probably from another battery. But I'm happy with the screen, actually, I prefer a used but original screen to a new but poor quality screen. Maybe they take this screen from a phone with a damaged motherboard or something like that. The screen doesn't have any scratch.
I wasn't so lucky with the battery. It was clearly a fake, so I returned it and bought another one from spareslg.com. I don't know if this battery is original or not, because there are some differencies between this one and the battery that I used before. Maybe this one has a bit better battery life, but I'm not sure, because now I'm using another ROM (based on 6.0 )
FYI, the non-original screens usually have problems with the proximity sensor and the GPS, so be careful with that. Good luck with the screen change! :good:
I bought a used Honor 8 that has a cracked front screen. It's tolerable but I've decided to get it fixed. The screen that is on now was a replacement screen. The lady told me that it cracked not too long after she got it replaced and that it happened without her dropping it or anything like that. She thinks that the person who replaced it, didn't know what they were doing. As of now, the phone works great but the screen isn't as bright as the original and seems to have burn in. I have thought about replacing it myself and wanted to ask, has anyone replaced their screen themselves? How'd it go? Would you recommend it? And if you got it replaced somewhere, what was the cost? How did it look like afterwards? I appreciate any and all answers!

Hello!
My screen is broken too. After a long search i've decided to order from Witrigs. There is only the custom screen available which is not as good as the oem one., but these are the best i could find from a reliable source. There is a video on the screens page which shows you how to install the new one. It will need some cheap equipment too to open the phone, like plastic-opening-card and case-opening-tool(the guitar one), yeah and don't forget the the LCD frame sticker. (and the suction cup, if you don't have any at home)
I'm still waiting for the parts to arrive, hoping that the screen's quality is acceptable compared to the original one. Also ordered a custom back panel because my got scratchy.
I'll write my experience about the screen and the repair when the parts arrive and assembled the phone.
Sry i wasn't able to post links because this is my first post here, but its easy to find them. For guide go for the video.
It's costed about 35$ with shipping and the back panel.
