Hi,
I dropped my Desire S facedown on a solid floor today and the screen cracked. I can still use the phone fine and it just looks like it's only the touchscreen/digitizer that has cracked.
Is it likely that the LCD under it has been affected aswell?
I can get it repaired with a GENUINE HTC Digitizer for £65... Does this sound fair?
Cheers
You can do it by yourself. There's some videos of dissasembling phone on youtube. This is to expensive price for digitizer, maybe try to buy it on ebay:
ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170687483863&ssPageName=ADME:L:OCL:1123
I and one other user bought from there.
Long story short, I busted my Inspire's digitizer, but the LCD underneath is still intact, and I'm having trouble finding a replacement.
Amazon sells just the digitizer, but I've seen that replacing the digitizer is a extremely tedious task and it's way too easy to damage the LCD in the process (one video had a guy completely obliterate the LCD trying, was freakin hilarious!), and the only LCD/Digitizer assembly they have on there has reports of the seller sending damaged parts.
Anyone know of a good site that sells the digitizer/LCD assembly that isn't Ebay? I freakin hate Ebay....
Edit: found this for the Desire HD, anyone tried this seller before?
try ebay ..
it is easy and safe ...
but if you don't like try
amazon .. but it is very cost .. and you must be in USA
or try
aliexpress
but not sure ...
I hope I'm not to late.
I went on amazon and looked up the digitizer display assembly. The screen you are getting should have the home, menu, return, and search button on the bottom.
It's kind of expensive, but it's the entire screen with the digitizer already attached to the glass, and is super easy to put in. You can also find videos on youtube to put in this exact screen.

Ive purchase both a digitizer and an LCD from amazon. Make sure you buy replacement adhesive.
Hello Everyone,
I run a repair shop and have been having a lot of customer walk away when I have had to explain that the screen and LCD need to be replaced as one unit (And cost £130+ a part then labour cost). I have watched a few videos and gain a lot of advice from these forums regards to a glass only replacement. I have a lot of experience with screen replacements, but the one thing that stumps me with this screen is how does the Digitizer work? Most phones have one cable for LCD and one cable for Digitizer, but when I look on eBay at the parts, it's just a piece of glass with nothing connecting it between the phone but some glue.
Hey I dropped my Moto G and the screen is cracked but its just the glass.
The touch screen works 100% and the actual display is not broken at all just the glass that covers it
I took this to plaza technologia in Guadalajara which has tons of mobile phone repair shops and either I was told that they did not have the part to repair it because it was 'too new' or that they wanted to charge me almost the same price as buying a new phone just to repair it.
Any ideas?
I dropped my phone yesterday and cracked my screen. I'm going to open a ticket with Asus since they're the only ones that can repair the screens it seems. Does anybody have any idea how much that would cost?
