I recently cracked my screen on my tp2 and was wondering if there was a way i could tell if it just the screen or the lcd under the glass.
you might want to consider replacing both the LCD and digitizer because they are stuck togeter with some kind of glue, I tried to just replace the digitizer and ended up pulling the whole front off the LCD screen its self. also ended up taring my LCD cable too so be careful
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.
I cracked my screen a few months back, and right after it happened I bought a new digitizer to replace the cracked one. The install didnt go very well, since the tape used to adhere the digitizer to the LCD got mangled during removal of the original digitizer. Dust ended up getting between the LCD and Digitizer etc. One other problem I ran into was that the LED's that are supposed to illuminate the home/menu/back/find buttons were now shinning up into the screen and washing it out.
Anyways I got fed up with the dust and bought a new fully assembled screen/digitizer off ebay. I installed it last night and everything is great except that the lights are still shinning up through the glass and washing out the lower inch of the screen. I dont see why this would happen as there is really only one way to put it all back together.
Any insight as to how to get the lights to stop doing this?
Thanks!
Hi,
Can anyone tell me where I can buy a new complete digitizer screen? Not just the glass, as I have bought the glass not realizing I need the digitizer itself as they can't be split without damaging the digitizer itself as its glued to glass screen and they can't separated.
Thanks
Can anyone tell me how to even begin opening this up? whatguide do you follow for that please

Good luck
Over the weekend I dropped my mix 2s and have cracked the bottom of my screen glass.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and fixed this. I have purchased a new glass on eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/263620735738?ViewItem=&item=263620735738
I am planning to take it to a professional repair shop.
Is it likely that they will be able to separate the glass from the LCD and glue on this replacement? Is there any risk of this going wrong and my screen from acting weird afterwards?
No, it is in fact very unlikely they'll be able to separate them.
It will be more expensive but you'll have to get an lcd display and glass assembly all together.

According to this: Ali Express
LCD Only: If the image under the glass is broken and the touch panel is NOT then you only need an LCD.
Touch Panel aka Digitizer: If the top touch panel or aka glass top is cracked or broken but the image under it is fine then you only need the Touch Panel.
Complete Screen with Touch Panel and LCD: If the top touch panel is broken and the LCD image is either black liquid or cracked you need a complete screen.

According to that; If the glass is cracked, I only need the Digitizer replaced.
I am happy to get the whole thing, its just I have already ordered a Digitizer and thought this was all I needed. I could be wrong.
Any recommendation on the type of screen I should purchase for best results?

Hi i managed to change my whole lce by myself. Its quite hard only for heating the glue and opening everything. There is no guide on internet so i just follow mi mix 2 guide. I bought from aliexpress, 60 euro, claimed to be original, checked its JDI from cti app, and very good quality, color also very good, nothing weird, glass also oleophobic.
Any update on this? I'm in the same situation, front glass is cracked but phone otherwise fine. Replacement is only $10, but can just the glass even be replaced?
I just bought the whole LCD/Digitizer for $60, not even going to attempt to separate just the glass

Hey emanuel.caesar,
thanks for your helpful post. A few further questions from my side:
which lcd did you choose exactly? Are you still satisfied with the quality? And the last question Does the video guide for the Mi Mix 2 work for the Mi Mix 2s as well or are many things different? Thank you in advance for a short reply.
Hello,
Is not a good idea to try to just replace de LCD screen. I did this operation many times in the past and I can confirm that's a long operation (~1h30), there's a lot of risks that you break the digitizer and for a good result, you need LCD glue and a UV machine.
So, I think it's a better idea to replace all the screen: LCD + Digitizer.
Any suggested YouTube videos to replace the glass + LCD + digitizer?
Looking at a used phone with broken glass. It's like $10 for glass or $32 for the whole set and if I recall last time I had glass swapped it was like $60 labor and no guarantee the LCD wouldn't break. I'm pretty technical have repaired plenty of phones Android and iPhone. Anyone have a good link for removing the LCD / digitizer / glass unit? Is this like the Samsung where you need to use a blow dryer to heat the adhesive to get it off? Or like an iPhone where you just take screws out and pry the panel out? Much appreciated
