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
Try this steps:

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?

Chances that an LCD + digitizer will fix this?

A coworker I started working with a few months ago told me about the much-better Sensation he had before his MyTouch 3G. It seems that he still had it, but stopped using it "because the screen cracked." I correctly surmised that it was a simple and cheap to replace touch screen digitizer and described to him that it was "just the glass cover" and that it was "cheap to replace." I have done many such repairs on other phones and gadgets.
He then told me that he had continued to use it until the LCD went blank. There is no reason to think that the LCD inside suddenly cracked, but I can only assume that it also sustained some kind of damage and now also requires replacement. Knowing that the LCD isn't cracked, what are the chances that a replacement LCD + digitizer will restore the phone? I'm concerned because we've already purchased a kit for $65.

Nobody can tell you that off the internet. If we do, that would be pure guess, just as accurate as you would have guessed.

Well, someone could have had the exact same problem and already tried it. I ran into people with the same problem already. I'm just looking for more because some, no doubt, have tried it and others may have an alternate explanation. Reasonable.

there is a good chance that will fix the problem. but since the LCD was working for a while until it blank out, it is possible the problem might be with the circuit board. only way to know is to try it out.

The LCD could go blank for several reasons. Faulty LCD, loose cable, faulty board etc. etc. Even if someone had the same problem, the reason for it could be completely different, thefore this wont help you at all except for giving you hope. If this is what you need, then i would say "yes, the change of lcd & digitizer should fix the problem" but you never can be sure unless you try When you start the phone, do you hear the startup sound? This could at least indicate that the phone isnt completely faulty.

The plus side is that you can't make it worse. So you've got nothing to lose by trying to repair it, other than the few bucks for the parts.

Well, I took it apart to re-seat all the cables and it's still blank. Reading online, I see that a lot of dropped Sensations/Pyramids develop a loose/broken SMT capacitor component near the headphone jack, but I'm not registered on any of the forums I see it discussed on and I can't see the pics. They describe a slightly different problem anyway (screen goes blank after standby). I needed sleep, so I put it all back together and I'll check that out when the parts get here. My hunch is that the LCD panel is fine and that I'll have an extra, assuming the capacitor problem is fixable. I've done some delicate soldering work before but I can't really say that I'm good at it! I didn't see any loose SMT components rattling around so I hope it didn't fall completely out somewhere.

Thanks but it's almost $70 for the parts.

Works great! Well, it had the touchscreen sensitivity issue pretty badly but the T-Mobile OTA update fixed that. Transferring all the adhesive bits from one screen to another was down-right frustrating, but I pulled it off and I only see a single spec of dust inside. The dude will be thrilled. I broke the earhook on my Looxcie so I did not make a video but it was full of me tearing and ripping the things anyway and not a good example of how it should be done!
FWIW, there was no way to remove the old screen without denting up the backing plate and prying the heck out of it to free it from multiple adhesives and glues, so I would not have had two good LCDs after testing the replacement even if there was nothing wrong with the original. Good thing it was the LCD at fault! I didn't have to drill anything like the glass replacement video I watched instructed me to do. They didn't realize that the LCD removal allows the flex PCB through just fine. I forgot to thread it back through before seating the replacement LCD in the adhesives and tape left-overs but it flexed enough to allow it through without removing, which was quite a relief after seeing how the original fared after being removed.

Screen replacement problems

Hey everyone,
I recently bought my HOX at my local AT&T store about a month ago and managed to drop within the first 2 weeks I had it, and break both the glass and LCD. I went on ebay and bought both the LCD and glass together and installed it on my phone with no luck. Screen is totally black with no response. Everthing else works flawlessly, vibrator, capacitive buttons, and speaker. The aftermarket LCD screen's cable was straight so I had to make a fold in it like the original cable was. I worry that that might be what the problem is, though I highly doubt it. I would appreciate it greatly if someone could give me some advice on what I should do at this point. Return the LCD and glass or try something else. Thanks

Welcome, search the forum. Long story short, call HTC and have them fix it for ~$220

If you signed a contract when you bought the phone and are still within 30 days, I would just have AT&T add insurance to your line and make a claim for it.

Thanks for the quick responses, looks like im gonna have to bite the bullet and pay the $220 bucks. AT&T has terrible customer service and they had no interest in helping me.

still not fixed
Hello again,
I recently bought another replacement LCD and digitizer. Installed it in the phone still with no luck. Everything except the screen works perfectly. All the connectors and motherboard look perfect. I have called HTC and there have some of the worst tech support that I have ever experienced. Please respond...im running out of ideas.

no :-/

Try both the old one and the new one without placing it into the housing...
The problem you will face most is with the LCD strip which has to be inserted fully in the slot..
Which is very difficult to do so and needs lots of time on it...
see some Replacement videos on Youtube. It do show you step by step guide on replacing the LCD..
Just place the battery and all the connectors and try powering it on b4 inserting it into the housing..

The old LCD isn`t working anymore. The LCD Connection is fully inserted. First time i started the device with the new LCD, everything was working well. A few seconds later i got the blackscreen.

Yeah i think the new LCD is broken. With a flashlight i can see Android on the screen
So i think the backlight is broken. So i will repair the phone with a new Display and Digitizer Unit. Right?

I tried the same thing, but mine was just the glass. Forget about trying to separate LCD from glass, really you are not that skilled (any of you!). anyway, It was about 45 days after receiving my HOX and I called ATT and just told them what happened and that my phone was in 1000 pieces, said I now have a contract and no phone (though I was much more miserable and depressed sounding at the time). She said "no problem, I will just toss out this old contract and we will start from scratch" It cost me another $99 but they sent me a brand new phone. I was shocked. First time a carrier ever made me smile (other than running LTE Speed Tests)

Hehe, that did happen to some of us. In my case, I first flashed the 4820 TS firmware. If that doesn't stop the mad behaviour, then carefully remove the TS ribbons from the board, and tape them on top of the connectors, making sure they don't touch any conducting metal parts.

Nothing is broken apart from the TS. But when you have it connected, it acts crazy. Replace it and it should be fine.

Not sure what the question is, but taping the ribbons to the connectors is just a stopgap measure when you for some reason must keep the broken digitizer on (as in waiting for the replacement to come in the mail). It might work or not (does in my case, where if ghost touches hit, all I need do is reboot). So I wouldn't say "definitely." What's your situation?

sometimes the screen goes crazy and starts zooming in and touching areas when I'm not touching the screen, when I put it back in to sleep and then unlock it again its fine, and then also somewhere in the upper right portion of the screen it's send like out didn't react to the touch so well especially when I'm scrolling and hit that part of the screen it'll stop then either act as if I did a long press or act as if I clicked on the browser url.

If you have an undamaged digitizer that acts on its own, you're not alone. Most of the time, the remedy is in reflashing the TS frmware. You need to know what type it is so you can select the correct firmware though. Pop the back cover open and look. Check this thread for troubleshooting tips.

it seems that replacing the TS and the board and the 4820 firmware still gives the "Crazy screen"
I've seen even a brand new TF300T without any visible defect that has the same fault.
has anybody found other firmware to TF300T than 4820.. maybe it isnt 100% compatible with all cheep china TS?

I ordered a cheap g01 for 43 bucks. I then flashed 4820 firmware. No problem at all and its more responsive than the original 5158n.
The boards do also go bad apparently. You can pick one up for 15 usd on ebay. Regardless what version the board came from, you will have to flash.
I recommend every one with issues go with the g01 as its firmware is readily available and actually has a proven track record of working. Its also the cheapest version available ( mine was also an original Asus part for that price )
Just make sure you have root access first.

Glad to hear happy stories.. too little of them here
i replaced mine TS g01 without changing firmware (i had 4822).
i ran it about 9-10 hours straight and no glitch at all before it began to ghosting.
and then flashed the TS firmware to 4820 with no difference (still ghosting)
i think people have triggered the same problem when replace their TS. (it wasn´t "the cap" problem) and will not necessarily engage immediately after the replacement.
it's really a ghost story.

In that case its either a bad board, or a bad digitizer. There were reports of new screens that looked intact actually having micro fractures that dont act up until the unit had been on and running ( heating up ). I'd try the TS / Micro SD daughterboard first though as its cheaper and easy to access. Worst case scenario is you get a spare or see if someone here wants to pick it up from you. For $15 its worth a shot.
Heres the exact OEM G01 I ordered ( It does have the Asus Logo )
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360697697608?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I cant find any cheap boards on ebay right now but they are frequently listed in the 15-20$ range. You will just have to keep your eyes peeled I guess.

i did it with cheap "OTG Host Kit Adapter tf300t" from ebay and usb mouse.. easy as with working TS.

here is the report.
Now i have replaced the new TS. and the Ghost Story is still there?
But it is not random anymore. Now it is only one dot ghosting all the time? (top right corner). I assembled it twice but no avail.
by the way, they sent me "White label" version instead of G01 and i think it worked better (less ghosting).
interesting to hear opinions?

No display on nexus 5 even after screen change

Recently, I purchased a Nexus 5 from a friend. The screen was completely shattered and nothing would appear on the display, but my computer was able to recognize the device. This morning I replaced the screen with a new one, however, there is still nothing appearing on the display even though the computer recognizes it and there is still life left inside of it.
Is there anything I am missing? I rechecked that everything is plugged in correctly several times and still nothing. I was thinking of replacing the flex cable, but I am low on funds so I don't want to waste money if its not going to work.
Attached, are photo's of the device.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

did you replace just the screen or the whole Assembly with the lcd and digitzer?

Yes, the entire assembly has been replaced which includes the LCD and digitizer.
Once again, I'm thinking its the flex cable as bad flex cables I've had with other phones have affected the functionality of the device.

Bump

It was not.
In a nutshell, my original question was basically 'could there be another problem with the Nexus 5 that I am unaware of?' which was not answered.
The second poster simply asked me if I replaced the LCD and digitizer assembly in its entirety.
The third poster is me posting my suspicious about which piece of hardware is causing the trouble.

Oh sorry you said flex cable. I was on my app. My apologies. Honestly it could be the flex cable. I replaced the screen in my Droid 3 and it didn't work because the flex cable was damaged.

Based on your photos it looks like what you replaced should have bean sufficient but of course with electrical components who knows... I wouldn't rule out a dead replacement display either. I'm in the middle of a similar situation, returning my replacement display today and trying another.

Could be a number of things with that physical damage, not just the screen

So you were able to get a display after you changed the flex cable?
The odd thing though is that I'm still able to charge the phone...the flex cable also holds the usb port.
Anyway, I've ordered a new one so we'll see what happens.

If anyone was wondering the screen still does not work with the new flex cable. I'm assuming its a motherboard issue and am just going to sell it on eBay.
Before than, any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Just ask your friend for a refund

I bought it from him for a very cheap price ($30US). Even with it broken, I can still get more for it by selling it on eBay than I can by getting my money back.

Try to make preassure on the wide connector on the motherboard. If display backlights or displays temporarily it's micro distached pins between connector and motherboard. Heat Air is the easy solution! In my case I used hot air heatgun 350°C and 10sec on row near edge of the board. The solder melts and at that time PUT slight PREASSURE down to the connector for few seconds! It makes the legs got proper contact to the pads on the board. Solves problems with Mic and Loudspeaker too becouse it relay on this wide connector.
Good luck Tomáš
