Hello dear android experts !
First of all, I am not really sure if it belongs into troubleshooting or accessories cause it is a problem for me to troubleshoot,
but it is aswell a kind of "accessorie" I am searching for. However, I think it fits in here best.
As you can see on the photos, my moronic self dropped this beautiful peace of hardware 20cm to the ground. Well, short distance - bad effect.
Now I have to search for a new screen-kit cause I got a hole in mine and my touchscreen isn't working.
Since I don't want to (and can't) pay 200€ ( 150€ repair and 50€ shipping ) I want to repair it by myself.
How difficult would you say it is to replace the screen ?
Surfing around, I found a Kit Screen + Midframe on Vifocal (sorry I am not not allowed to post a link ). It will probably cost around 100€
What do you guys think ? Is the screen quality like the original one ? Is it made from Gorilla-Glass?
Or would you suggest a different one. (Preferable easy to ship to Germany)
I heard that there are two different models for the screen. How can I check which one I need ? It would be nice if someone can reply the Link.
I will also need a tool kit. How is Smartphone Repair Kit from iFixit in the european store?
Thank you in advance,
Morishno
Ps: While I got it open, I want to add wireless charging directly to the board. Any suggestions or concerns about for example NFC ?

Anyone know where I can get a replacement LCD glass for my Desire HD
I believe it's just the glass as the screen seems to still work.
If there's a place in or around London that can replace it for me even better, if not anyone know how difficult it is to replace.
I've noticed a few places on Ebay (China/HK) selling digitizers and complete LCD's but ideally I want somewhere in the UK.
thanks

Hi,
I went through a similar experience less than 2 weeks ago, you can even see images here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834335
I rang around several places, none could commit to using GENUINE HTC parts. The only people I found were: www.htcrepairs.co.uk/ - and they even offer a walk in service whereas I found most others did not.
Unfortunately they don't have the parts I require in stock, maybe you can try them.
At the moment, they're the only people I've found in the London area that I'd be willing to give my phone in to...
Did you have any luck with finding anyone else?
Maybe contacting HTC? They can probably repair it for you but it can be pretty expensive though.
Maybe you got some pics?
You could try, as said above, get the glass/screen from eBay.
Repaired my SE K800i with it, where the glass could easily be removed and the new one could be installed within 5minutes.
Don't know how the HTC will disassemble though.
I'm going to try this place on the way home from work: http://www.spsmobile.co.uk I'll let you know how they go. They've got the parts and will charge me £60 for either the lcd or digitzer including fitting.
Here's some pictures. I think they'll get away with just fixing the glass, although it looks bad the lcd still seems to work ok.
Can anyone recommend a case surround?

How did it go?
Did they fix it whilst you wait, or retain the device to work on for a day or two?
More importantly, are they using genuine HTC parts ?
They fix while you wait, they're near Staples Corner (which is a bit of a walk from the tube at Brent Cross).
I need to go back tonight as they messed up and thought I had a Desire and not a HD, they're hoping to get the HD part in today, they're charging me the Desire price.
According to their website they use official parts, but who knows.
Warranty
* We give 3 months warranty on every repair excluding liquid / water damage and physical damage
* Every warranty handset is security sealed. Tampering with the security seal will void the warranty LCD / SCREEN warranty. We fit original screens only and they are security labeled
* Every handset is tested for 24 hours and comes with engineers report
I plan to visit these SPS guys tonight. Lets hope they manage to fix my phone.
I'm hoping to wait around so I can ensure genuine parts are used...
SPS didn't manage to get a Desire HD digitizer for me, they've got 1 on order. They're a little difficult to find (at least they were in the dark) they're behind Staples industrial state, in room 207, small little office. They seemed ok though they.

I'm back!
Got my Legend fixed earlier this evening by these guys: http://www.spsmobile.co.uk/
They were one of few who were adament they use genuine parts [they allowed me to inspect the parts before installation] AND allowed me to wait whilst they work on it.
Abolutely disgusting/poor customer service and general attitute towards their customers... though the main thing is my Legend is all well again !
Oh, it cost £70 for display + digitizer + installation.

U didn`t look for it enough Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883444
Thanks but I do not see a complete teardown guide yet. Looks like the guys on the other thread are working on it but nothing detailed enough. I need to know how to replace the digitizer, looks like not body knows how to do it yet.
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.
Guys;
I cracked my touchscreen while drunk by dropping it on the floor then stepping on it.
It's not bad , just a crack on top of it the touch screen works pretty much but it bothers me.
I found replacements on ebay , there are also originals and there are also ways to repair the cracked glass...
I don't wanna get the chinese counterparts , touchscreen is an important equipment , i don't know but it can delay my writing or something.
The originals are too expensive.
Haven't really tried repairing a cracked glass...
What would you suggest i do and why ?

i had a big crack on my screen, so that it didnt work at all. similar to your situation i bought a replacement on ebay. however, i wanted to try one of these cheap, non original things at first. 1 week later i had it and after i read the instruction (readable english ) the installation was easy. works fine till now and even if not, you can just send it back

Yes i can send it back but it takes time because i live in Turkey... plus the return shipment is a lot.
So have you had any trouble writing , was it any different from the original touchscreen , was there any latency ?
Was the screen spotless and slippery like original ?
I think with just a little more information i may buy the replacement ones...
Thanks...
i have also cracked screen. i want to change it with cheape one from ebay but also with frame ( front housing) so it is glued together it is little bit easier to change =) for price 32 dollars =)
Hello guys,
Has anyone ever needed a screen for their i727? A friend of mine managed to drop my phone on a step, facing down.
So at first you could only see a little of the top part of the screen ( with the lower half non functional) and afterwards it went all black, you can't see anything on it anymore. Volume rocker and on/off buttons work.
Do you know what would be the best option for me to get a screen/display from, given I am from Europe/Romania? Samsung here said that they don't fix something not intended for our market ( lol )...
So, would ebay be a good option? Are they original ? [le:] --- hurr durr .-- I'm a new user so I can't post links to ebay... I found 2 sellers (for white version) [/le]
Also, could it be more than just the screen ? My laptop sees it (but obviously can't select the memory card). what else could be affected?
Thanks a lot and if anybody has any other sites ( I chose ebay because they ship here).
aristik
It's the screen. Youtube, search for "i727 disassembly" or "i727 screen replacement", look at it, if you feel confident enough - buy one on eBay and do the replacement.

I agree completely, my friend replaced his screen this way. However, if you are not comfortable doing it, you might just want to buy a new one. The phone is cheap now that the S3 and S4 are out.
Also depending on how bad the drop was there could be lots of things wrong/damaged with your phone.

thank you for your replies. I just dropped it off at a guy who has a service shop (well sort of) and he will take a look and see if anything else is wrong with it.. The phone is indeed cheap, this being one of the reasons I bought this model ( and also the 4 touch sensitive buttons at the bottom - not fancying the new trend of the galaxy family).
The thing was that I was trying to find something that was indeed OEM branded. I was afraid and still am to get something that will brake shortly after replacement. Even so, the display is 70% of the price of the phone lol..drat!
Anyway thanks for the replies...I was really enjoying the upgrade from my old infuse ..while it lasted.. :crying:
Cheers
Yeah, it is an expensive part but if you take the phone apart, you'll notice it makes up about half the phone.

Hey guys my screen has been broken brutally.. My younger brother just threw it away!
So the touch doesnt work now but i guess everything else is fine. The volume and power buttons work fine. But the tough or the capactive buttons dont respond.
From what i have researched since the touch and the lcd are glued both will have to be replaced together. So i researched and found an estimate of 65$ for a new digitizer + LCD. Now the problem is even if i order the tough and lcd i dont know how to fix it. I saw the ifixit teardown but dont really understand much since there are no detailed steps in it.
I am not going to repair it myself, will repair it from a local repairer but i am pretty sure around here people dont even know what this phone is, so i dont wanna risk directly handing over it to them. If anyone of you all could guide me with a step by step procedure it would be a greattt help! Please help me guys want a good solution for this precious phone!
P.S i dont wanna send it to Oneplus since only the shipping would cost me around 100$ and 100$ more for the screen replacement.
and please dont advice about how i should have taken better care! I had applied a nilkin tempered glass protector but since it hit the wall at the sides it dint really help!
I should have had a case! </3 i was on my way to buy one
Step 1: Open The Back cover
Step 2. Remove the screws
Step 3: ...... please guide me about how to proceed with detaching the screen.
i would b glad to share one of my sharable invites with you if you help me with it or a video would be just paradise! :good:

Where do you found LCD + digitizer for only 65$??
The less expansive i've found is on ali and it's around 125$...
I'm interested too as i broke my oneplus as you did... Except it wasn't my little brother who thrown it away, it was only me letting it down to the floor...
I think, about the procedure shown in ifixit, it is doable fixing the broken screen... It just seems to ask proper tools ans patience... And a heat gun... (Or hair dryer!!)
Procedure?

ifixit doesnt show any procedure.. m pretty sure you dont need to go through the first 19 steps before you an finally dettach the screen. As far as i know most of the steps mentioned in the middle are not required. So i want someone to assist me with the required steps.
heat gun? i dont think its needed that would be needed if the digitzer and lcd were seprate. Since thats not the case it should be even easier. Oh yes we need the right tools but i guess a local repairer would have them anyway. i would just want the procedure so i could guide him since he wont know about the procedure, about this specific device
I got the 65$ one from ali express too,
go to the site and search for oneplus one digitizer. There are a list of options. Cant post links!

I don't think that you will find someone who can help you. You will need detailed instructions and images, and I don't think anyone has documented a thorough disassembly yet. You can check on YouTube, it's been a while since I've checked myself. I did disassemble one of my OnePlus One's a few weeks ago because the motor was malfunctioning, but instead of trying to fix it I simply returned it for a refund.
I just need to know how is the screen attached

i dont wanna know all the steps. I just wanna know how is the screen attached. I think it should over all be pretty standard for all phones. So should not be much stress for a local repairer. And from what i have read when the digitizer + lcd are glued it is a very easy job to replace them together. I just want to be sure from my side that say the screen needs to be attached the same way that a Galaxy S2 display is attached to the phone. Then i can just ask the repairer if he would have known how to repair a GSII.
I really cant ship it back to OPO its gonna be almost as much expensive as buying a new One!

Did you only buy the digitizer? You should have bought the screen and digitizer that are already fused. It is absurdly difficult to take off only digitizer and broken glass cleanly. Believe me, I've been repairing things all my life and this is one of the hardest things to fix.

I haven't bought it yet. But dont worry i will b buying the digitizer and the LCD that are already fused together.
But even attaching to the phone is also kind of a challenge right?
guys,
Anyone please suggest regarding how durable and trustworthy are these digitizer +lcd combo that are available on ebay.in?
Can i purchase them? I broke the screen badly and waiting for a replacement. Found a replacement on ebay.in for apprx 100$. Thats fine with me but need suggestions from users who already tried using these screens...? can i go ahead and get it done from a repair shop?
