Sad Storry about my HD2

I recently had my htc hd2 fall in water, i tried the rice tricks to dry it, though this helped a lot i am stuck with a phone with no backlight.
I can see everything if i look at the phone at an angle, everything else works, camera, flash led, charging led, calling etc.
i have no money to buy an lcd+digitizer or mainboard, so please if anyone has a bricked or dead htc hd2 that they are not using can you help me out with the parts.
in exchange for this, i can help with anything related to internet marketing, SEO, website developement, content, original articles, etc
I have a LCD + digitizer of HD2 , but the digitizer does not work.... only LCD
so U may have to seperate it and fix the NEW LCD with your OLD digitizer + this is T MOBILE HD2

He said that he hasn't got money for repair.
Suggestion: I'd try opening LCD. Meaning, open phone, take LCD. You should be able to lift screen from the frame. Inside, there could be water, check for LEDs at one edge of the screen and see if there is some water/corrosion.
Also, you should be able to disassemble LCD, it consists of multiple layers and there could be some water. Just be careful and don't mix up layers and you should be fine.
thanks everyone
i will like to thank everyone who has been so kind to offer help. I really appreciate all the help.
Thanks Mally2 for the offer of lcd, please pm me so that i can help with anything relaed to internet markerting, seo or anything.
please thanks and god bless you.
hi everyone, i took apart the htc hd2 to get an idea how severe was the damage done by water, on close inspection i see that the lcd flexi that connects to the mainboard has one pin burn out, and the connector on the mainboard looks black.i washed both the flexi and the connector with acohol to get the discoloration out but the screen is still black, that is , no backlight. i don't know how bad this is, so i am hoping that someone can help me with the parts.
Mally2, i don't know if you have any info about the shipping costs from India to South Africa, please let me know, and everyone who might also have a board that i can get a connector please help me out.
Hi I will be shipping out today.. sorry for the delay, I was held up with other work..
No worries of the shipping cost , i'll look into it.

[Q] Busted LCD got blue screen?

Okay strait to the point! I've got a Galaxy S2 with Android 4.0.3 bought it 4 months ago.
I accidently dropped my phone and cracked my screen on the bottom right corner. The crack went from bottom and a diagonal line up til the right side. I took a picture below.
imageshack(.)us/photo/my-images/685/20120326152703.jpg
This happened about 2 months ago. No problem since. I dropped the phone a few times afterward but it didnt seem to affect it lucky me.
Yesterday i tried watch some series over my WIFI and the phone got really hot around the camera area. The phone wasn't acting well either and then battery dropped from 75% til about 10% in 10 minutes without any video still showing up. (Never had that problem before). I stopped using it and instead put it on recharge for the next day. And today on the morning it was still okay. Went to school and back with the mobile still working. Put it on my table and checked my PC.
About 2 hours later while cheking up on my galaxy i discovered this.
imageshack(.)us/photo/my-images/198/20120326153629.jpg
I think that the LCD finally busted but i need to be sure if it has something to do with the previous crack and also if you could provide any info about what to do with it? Does my warrenty cover this? Or do i need extra insuranse?
I really need help right now LCD blackned spots
The screen has started to turn black from the core of the LCD leak. I now really think this is a broken LCD screen and not a software problem. If someone knows what i could do to fix this i really could need the help right now.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong,
But it sounds to me like you've busted the digitizer portion of your device. As to it being caused by the small crack on your screen.. i don't really know(can't really see if it's a crack in the glass or digi). At any rate, judging from the second picture you provided us it most definitely looks like you damaged the digitizer.
Most companies don't really cover damaged screens caused by users. However, being that your S2 is only 4 months old you could possibly pass it as "it did it by itself, I don't know what happen". Worth a shot I guess...
If all fails you could bring it to a electronics repair shop or you can repair it yourself via a digitizer part bought on ebay(probably pretty expensive being that its part of the screen)
If all else fails check ebay for a new screen.

If your thinking about taking the DIY road I found a screen for you.Quick note about buying something overseas on eBay: it usually takes awhile for the part to ship and even when you get it, the part may not be functional. But don't fret, eBay is usually pretty good about stuff like this so a working part will be guaranteed or your money back!
If you do decide to repair it yourself I would first research A LOT about your phone. Especially, the disassembly guide! Try to use only credible guides such as iFixit, repair universe etc.
This only applies to flex ribbon cables:
when replacing screens sometimes you have to plug it in a few times before you actually get it to respond(could be cause by oxidation of the pins) if thats the case, you could try to take a #2 pencil eraser and gently rub against the pins and remove the oxidation...
Good Luck!
Please let me know how it goes!

Yes it is really a crack and a very annoying one. It doesn't cause any problems with the touch-function, so I've been using it normally but for the screen, it has gone completely black but for the top right part still a little darkblue. I think I'm going with your first answer and try to check it in on warranty have had a bit luck with it past couple of times but im not sure about changing it myself. If having no luck with warranty then maybe ill try doing it myself.
at any rate weather you get warranty to change it or you fix it yourself maybe youll learn to be more careful and get a case maybe???

[Q] [S4] LCD or Glass broken ?

Hello ,
two days ago this phone glass broke because it fell on the ground.
I want to know is it the glass that broke ( can repare for 15 euro ) or is it the whole LCD that broke ( 100+ euro to repare )
Everything works , the screen is responsive everywhere. The broken part is on the top right of the phone .
There are also vertical color bars now. When I just start phone they aren't here but after some milisecs they come and change everytime I do something too .
Here some pictures ( I can't post urls , those are just tinypic links no virus)

Those lines are on the LCD, so its the LCD, it doesn't look broken really. Maybe the shock of the fall slightly disconnected something on the inside of your device, the ribbon maybe.

So what should I do to repair it? Just open the screen and see if smth is disconnected ? So Or...? it is sure I will need a new glass
You will need a new glass...!
As your lcd is damaged internally !!!

You could always double check to be sure that all the connections and cables are properly attached. Hopefully it is that simple. If not I don't think anyone here can really help you much.
