Cracked Screen on my Touch Pro

I dropped my touch pro and cracked the screen in a few places. I think it works normally except for the screen, as it receives calls fine...
A new phone isn't in my budget right now. Does anyone know of a good place (hopefully in DC, MD or VA) that will supply or install a replacement touch screen?
(btw, no recent threads came up when I searched.)

Ebay!
Just looked, $30 including postage for a screen & digitiser if you are able to do it yourself.

How hard is it to replace a screen if it has surface damage? Is there anywhere i could find a walkthrough or help?

Shame man, its a tragedy of what happened to your phone...
Luckily its not too bad, and you may just be able to fix it. You can download the service manual for the phone here: http://htcwinmobile.blogspot.com/2009/03/htc-raphaeltouch-pro-service-manual.html
Just a note though, make sure you DO USE tweezers or something to get the speaker wires out of the way before snapping the enclosure back into position... I had to reopen the phone again, after powering it, to rejoin one of the little wires thats like a tenth of a millimeter thick DO NOT IGNORE ANYTHING THEY TELL YOU IN THE MANUAL. Oh, and what works well for the "plastic removal tool" is a cut out piece of plastic ice cream container. AGIAN, do not ignore anything in there... You are voiding the warranty permanently when you do it yourself (which you unfortunately have to).
Anyways, good luck!

I drop my phone also, but the screen didn't actually cracked! but I do have is problems with the screen in other ways! Sometimes I get a black screen when I turn on the phone and sometimes not, but when the screen turns on, it flickers a lot and have lines thru it. What suprises me is that sometimes I get perfect images on the screen (Which makes me think that the screen it's not damaged).
Any suggestion would be apreciated. Thanks!

3 days and still no answer from anyone! I would like someone to throw me ligth on this issue. I'm waiting for this to know exactly what I need to buy, before I start assuming things.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the LCD connector may have come unseated. You could open up the phone and make sure all connectors are firmly seated if you feel confident in your abilities.

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking on that also and wanted to take my chances opening the phone (oh god!).
BTW, I saw the $30 LCD Screen+Digitizer combo on ebay that Beeble referred to, but I'm not sure if it fits on the fuze (my model). What have come to my mind it's to buy also the front camera of the phone (like a thread on the kaiser) to mod the cell, in case I need to buy the screen+digitizer. I've search all threads about this issue but nobody has done it because it was too expensive for the result; I believe with this price it's worth it right now!

solved

I used Diamod (!) LCD and Touch Pro digitiser. Works perfect.
Much more cheaper

If your screen works fine sometimes, you most likely don't need to replace it. there's probably just a loose connection somewhere. If you really want to replace it though, there's an ebay seller with a really good deal. $20 for the screen and digitizer already glued into a new front body piece: http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-FUZE-LC...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3ef8817bf6 That one's for the fuze, but I think the seller has other models too. I'd definitely get the LCD and digitizer together or else you might end up like I did on my first attempt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584050

WOW! What a long way to get to the screen. Good luck for everyone who tries to dismount and mount the Raphael.

Thanks for the advise maxh,
I just wanted to let you know that a miracle just happened! my cellphone started to work just fine without even opening the phone! it has more than a week on this situation so I believe that it's exactly what you stated (the LCD conector became unseated or loose). Since it's still working, I have no need to open it! so I'll just wait until it becomes defective again and at that point just open it and tight up the LCD connector!
Anyway, I would love if somebody could make the mod that I was refereing to before (changing the screen of the fuze by the touch pro one) and see if it's possible to attach the front camera on the fuze.
Once again, thanks everybody for your opinions.

I got my new display+ digitizer on Ebay (65$) and replaced it, using the russian link mentioned above ( follow the exact procedure) , it took me 2 hours to do it, and after lot of patience it worked! My problem was the digitizer never worked fine, and after replaced it it worked like never before. If You are not familiar with repairs, it will be a mistake and waste of money to buy a display without digitizer. NOW, I have a small problem, my display has a NEW color, it's like color temp is WARM for this display, and COLD for my old display, AND COLOR level is lower, and the result is display without vivid colors, black like gray. Is there any way to change the DISPLAY color settings?

Anyone found Replacement SCREEN for Acer neotouch

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

I can't paste a link here so copy the number and paste it in ebay.com:

I don't know if it's easy to change..

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

i have the same prob.... i dropped my phone and my screen blanked ....and i need another lcd .... i was thinking about what you did.... but if i'll get the HTC one the front of the mobile will be with HTC logo instead of the ACER one ...
right?

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?

LCD Screens from HTC Touch HD and HTC Blackstone are working correct. Use these replacements instead of original

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

[Q] "squares" signs on the Xoom screen?

Hey everyone,
I just noticed something weird on the screen of my xoom (with the screen off it's much more visible). I can see some strange "squares" filling the whole screen when looking at it from a low angle and I can't remember if it was there since I got th device... so I don't know wheter it's normal or not. Do you see such signs on your xoom too?? Or should I ask for a replacing unit? Mmm.
What I see looks slightly like this: h**p://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_170x135.214590012.jpg (sorry, can't post external links yet)
I hope someone can help me
Thanks!

I havnt seen your picture but does it look like its image, as in displayed on the pixels or physical. It could st be the mesh of te touch panel, for e.g. on my desire I can see a diamond shaped mesh in sun light. Can't see anything on my xoom screen though, but its got the crappy factory screen cover on still.
Macbots drool as I XOOM through the Galaxy to my hearts Desire on the back of a Droid.

Yeah it's there on mine too, I also noticed it when I first got it. I'm not 100% sure what it is, but I'm assuming it's related to the capacitive screen.

Its the touch screen digitizer.

Thanks for the info. Do you think then that it's normal that it's visible?
I searched around and found this link h**p://ezinearticles.com/?Touchscreen-Digitizer---Symptoms-and-Cheap-Replacements&id=6047548 where it says:
Usually, the digitizer is not visible unless the screen has been damaged or cracked.

It's normal that you should see a glint of it in light, don't worry about it, nothing wrong with it unless u can see it straight on in any light.

Go exchange it for a new one

We have 4 Xoom's in our office and you can see it on all of them when the screen is off - and the light is on. But we are software developers, we live in the dark so it's hard to see most of the time.

Device felt down! Touchscreen doesnt work well

After getting throught this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644971 I got another one. My device felt down and now I got a small "slot" bbetween the display and the chassis. But thats not the only problem. The touchscreen (digitizer ??) does not work well. The four "onscreen" buttons dont work and about a quarter inch above them the screen doenst react well, sometimes it does, most of the tim not. I want to repair it by myself but I do not know much about it. I know how to assemble and disassmble, but thats it. Is this http://www.ebay.de/itm/270933343810 the part I have to change? Or is there even more or an other part?
Thank you so much guys!

I disassemled the hole thing now and I can see that there's a mini-crack in the lcd at the top right. No matter for the display at the moment. It must be the digitizer?! Is it possible that it is broken, while I cannot see a damage onit?

this is the part you need http://www.ebay.de/itm/LCD-Display-...75910021?pt=Handy_Zubehör&hash=item337330cc85
thats the whole assembly otherwise you will find it really hard because the touch screen digitizer and the main screen are together attatched.

Yesss baby! I replaced the digitzer and it works fine again.

Xperia Z3 screen garble and artifacts

Hello all,
A friend's Sony Xperia Z3 phone started to present strange screen issues, the screen completely garbled on power up, then the garble starts to scroll down and some parts of the screen are visible. I looked around and found some people with similar problems but didn't find any solution apart from sending the phone to Sony for repair. Some pictures:

Anyone managed to fix this kind of issue by replacing the screen or the screen cable?
Thanks in advance.

Would be worth it to me.
Just make sure you get good adhesive. Otherwise the front will fall off.
This stuff is supposed to be good https://de.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Tesa-61395-Tape/IF317-072-1, but I haven't tested it on the Z3, yet.
