I'm hoping someone can help, I've been without my touch pro for about a month now after I sat on it whilst drunk and smashed the LCD!!!
I've been trying to find someone who sells replacement LCD's and not been able to find anyone. Does anyone know where I can get one?
I have managed to find a Diamond one quite cheaply on ebay, but does anyone know if it compatible with the touch pro? I've looked at my friends diamond and from the outside looks the same. It also has the same dimensions and specs.
I hope someone will be able to help, I'm having to use a crap SE T280i which can't even go on the net!!

It might be possible to get it warranty repaired by HTC, or at least repaired by them (you may have to pay for it if the warranty doesn't cover it).
What country are you in, as that will make a difference to shipping and availability.
Hello,
I have a similar query too. Do diamond lcd ( Not digitizer ) fit to at&t fuze?
Just because, diamond lcd screen are cheaper then fuze.
As far as product image, both looks same but need someone to confirm if it works for fuze also. Please help to save few $$$.
Thanks...
Best Regards
yees, mine too... did a bad thing to the screen so it has 3 blue spots due to extreeme presure to the screen.
found lot of stuff in eBay but I don't recommend it because I once ordered a battery replacement (made in HongKong) for my TouchPro and it wont perfectly fit. So it kind of shocks me to shop in eBay...
mine is Asian Touch Pro (T7272)

I brought at&t digitizer from hongkong and its perfect. I don't think all the items from hongkong are bad. And most of things I brought from hongkong ( ebay ) were perfect, especially car products.
unfortunately I broked lcd, digitizer and flex cable while I was installing new digitizer. So now I have to buy new flex cable and lcd ( without digitizer ) which costs nearly 70$.
Already brought flex cable but suck on buying lcd. Just waiting to confirm.
Edit; Just now got reply from a diamond lcd screen seller. He said, we have asked the manufacture, and they told us it can not be used. So this should be clear but I already brought fuze lcd screen too as I don't wanna suck.
Best Regards
hello,
i have here a lumia 1020 froom at&t. it has a cracked screen.
i wanted to ask, if i can just buy an digitizer screen from ebay and replace it, because i know there are some differences between the us at&t model and the international one (as i know its only about the frequencies gsm, lte etc). should there be a problem with a possible other pin assignment for the display connectors ?
second i wanted to ask if i can flash an international debranded windows phone version over the at&t firmware (after the phone has been sim unlocked)
I cracked the screen of my 1020 twice, both times I bought a screen at amazon, different sellers. The first time the screen was perfect 100%, the second time the screen that I received was a bit faulty, I had a gab between the body of the phone and the screen and you could see light coming out from the side of the phone, annoying. eventually the corner of the screen broke again, I 'm not changing it again, the screen for this phone is too expensive and already bought two, my next screen will come with the phone that replaces 1020. maybe 1030 or whatever it is. Just try to get it from a good seller that could relace if it comes faulty.
the same problem. trying to deattach the glass and keep digitizer. if will be successful will publish the guide.
Just buy display assembly from good seller. The rest is simple.
I tried to separate the glass from digitizer and broke the LCD in the process. Later had to buy the whole display assembly.
Only concern was, you get glass for less than a dollar, but display assembly costs 100+ dollars.

Hello todarkness, if you buy a screen without frame, both at&t and international models are interchangeable, otherwise, you'll have to buy the at&t version if you need the frame as well.

Hello,
I need to change my faulty z1c (D5503) screen (lcd + digitizer) for the 2d time in a few months (broken screen in the 1st time, water damage + alcohol isoprop ... in the 2d time) and choose the right seller.
I checked on the market + this forum and here are my findings :
1) Witrigs (100 US dollars, so quite expensive) http://www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-with-digitizer-for-sony-xperia-z1-compact
2) Stellatech (quite expensive - 100 EUR) : http://stellatech.com/sony-xperia-z...lete-display-lcd-touchscreen,a,en,816110.html
3) Aliexpress : (24 us dollars ...) : http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-..._73_74_75,searchweb201527_3,searchweb201560_9
Could anyone tell me if the 3) can be as good as the first 2 ?
Cheers to all

Can you share a pic of your Z1C with this screen pls?
i've got some through a dutch shop, costing me 77Eur, seems to me that it isn't exactly same as original sony as colors were quite different (too much saturated/red).
now it's only WITH a frame, not sure if that's easier to deal with for repair:
http://telecom2day.com/sony/sony-xp...ay-lcd-unit-met-frame-sony-xperia-z1-compact/
ps, aliepress is not fast in delivering stuff, so if you want it before the end of the year, better look somewhere else
I bought this one and mounted it myself, and i have'nt noticed any difference in quality from the original display. Just make sure to watch a video tutorial on how to change it.
Adhesive tape and correct tools was not included, but ordered from china.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221822457294?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Some how, I got unlucky and touch input broke down on me. Tried a lot,but phone is written off now. Went to nexus 5x and happy.
I bought a display from ebay for 30$, and it is working great. Not original though, but have'nt noticed any difference at all. Been using it for 3 months without a single problem.
It was this one: http://m.ebay.com/itm/UK-Touch-Disp...i-Compact-M51w-D5503-/221822457294?nav=SEARCH
To people who ordered from ebay: Which glue did you buy?
And what does it mean "no frame" ? Do you need to salvage this 'frame' from your broken screen?
I just broke my screen. Dropped it from 20cm at just the right angle I guess I've been doing some research, looks like you can't replace only the digitizer without special tools?
I've got mine from Ebay, it came with glue also. It has the same colors like the original one and it's working flawless for 5 months now.
Here is the link for the display I've bought.
Hello,
let me throw another hat in the ring: I bought my screen assembly from parts4repair, they sell them starting at 32 €. I bought the one for 42 €, as it is supposed to be the original replacement part. I did not realize any different colors. Delivery took about 6 weeks and packaging was really good (stable, well protected).
In another thread I already posted about this little project, here it is again:
I did completely disassemble my Z1compact recently and replaced back housing and the screen, using adhesive stickers (they were even said to be the original, real deal. I cleaned the contact areas with cleaning alcohol prior to reassembling the phone, so everything was just as intended). Everything worked fine, looked just as new - but after only 2 days, the adhesive did already start to loosen again in different areas!
I told a friend of mine about the problem (he fixes mobile phones the whole day long, as a profession), and he answered that they never use the stickers, but a special kind of silicone! The important part is, that it is a silicon which hardens without releasing acid (normally acetic acid is fumed out), so the electronic circuits do not become damaged. I bought one like this: Silicon Adhesive and everything worked fine It's been two months now and there are no problems, it's even water proof again.
Some comments: The silicone needs at least 24h to harden, I placed my phone under 4 heavy books in order to apply steady pressure during that time. That may have been a little bit too heavy, however, because the screen is a little bit lower than before and I can see small, somewhat "lighter" areas right where the contacts of the screen are, just the kind like pressing your finger on a lcd display too much. So better use only 2 books during hardening the silicone
Happy tinkering!
I got the same problem with my phone - I broke digitizer on my weekend trip... I don't know guys if it's an option for you, but in Poland you can replace screen much cheaper:
https://www.w-support.pl/klienci-indywidualni/koszt-naprawy.html (sorry, it's in polish... w-support is official Sony service - whole screen replacement costs 399 PLN (less than 100€)
If you want to do it yourself - you can look at our biding service - allegro:
http://allegro.pl/listing/listing.php?order=m&string=d5503+lcd&search_scope=category-19285&bmatch=base-relevance-w2-ele-1-3-0812
I bought LCD with digitizer, tools and glue for about 200PLN (less than 50€) and the seller claims it's an original one... Of course there may be some problems with foreign shipment but I think it shall work in EU for most of the sellers.
I let you know in a few day - I am waiting for delivery right now...

I just bought a 30E sceen from ebay and it pretty bad because of the gamma levels...tried to adjust with white balance and it got a bit better..but still nowhere near as good as the original. For a 30euro screen i think i'll live with it..

I'm too from Poland and price for LCD replacing is...funny. Trying to find cheapest LCD to make it working for 2 months.. Any suggestions?

Yeah, that's great!
I made a post HERE about a water damaged screen, long story short after buying two cheap screens online and sending them both back for a refund because I wasn't happy with either of them I bit the bullet and sent my phone to Sony for a genuine OEM replacement to be fitted. Neither of the cheap screens came with the ASF and didn't have the foam that was attached to the back of my original.

you must really love your z1c to pay that money,hope you enjoy it!

A few People have said to me just buy a new one, but I do love it and want to keep it to use as my spare when I finally do, I want another Compact but the last few just haven't done it for me. It's killed me using my old Xperia Ray this last week and still have another week and a half to go. Going to flash GB to it this weekend and see if that makes it more bearable.

The first screen had lifted a little so that made me question the adhesive too, from reading online I then thought it was because I hadn't cleaned the frame properly, so made sure I had before laying the second screen, but that eventually started to lift too. I found the same as you in regards to the screen, the colours just weren't right and had to use full brightness which then obviously chews through the battery. I even reflashed my phone to see if that made a difference, as we know there are two different panels used I thought maybe when the phone gets reflashed it may configure it for the display that's attached but it didn't.
If the X Compact had a better spec I would have bought it and a cheap screen for the Z1C as that would be going in the wardrobe along with the Arc S and Ray hopefully never to be seen again for another 50 years, but as it's going to be my daily for a little while longer I just want it perfect.
UPDATE:
Just heard back from Sony today and not good news. First of all they emailed me to say a quote was available to view in my support which basically said it was uneconomical to repair and offered an equivalent phone for a cost of £250+, baffled by their quote and comments I then got straight on the phone as all my Z1C needs to function is a screen , the operator told me to get the phone back to a guaranteed status the technician had wanted to replace more parts. To a degree I can see where they are coming from but having already had two screens on with no issues other than the poor quality of them it's quite annoying.
So as my hand has been forced a screenless Z1C will be going on ebay as soon as I get it back, and I'll be ordering a Z5C tonight.
Dear reader,
I'm looking at buying a screen for an old S6 (G920F). I cracked the original AMOLED when attempting a charging port PCB replacement. A shame, but that is a common occurrence with this repair attempt. Mainboard still works and it charges the battery now that I have connected the new charging port PCB. I has previously run and functions fine, but could only wireless charge with 5W, which took forever. Hence my repair attempt.
This is not a daily driver, but it would be nice to have it as a backup phone. I am not going to spend $130 on a replacement screen though, so I am looking at several listings on Aliexpress ($30-40). This includes:
- used but burned-in screens (different classes, either white and blue only or also with red burn-in for cheaper ones)
- listed as original (but probably also used)
- listed as new replacement (likely knockoff screens)
All in the same price class.
All will include frame and digitizer + charging PCB, I'm not risking another cracked AMOLED.
Some are clear on their description on being used burned-in screens, but some are not.
I reckon I can't post direct URLs to their listings here, but in case you want to check it out, most are in the top 10 range when arranged by no. of sales.
Does anyone have any experience buying these type of screens off Aliexpress?
In my opinion, the burned-in listings seem most honest and have highest chance of actually being an original screen, instead of a knockoff. I'm cautious about listings that state 'new' or 'replacement' without any mention of burn-ins etc. for that last reason.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Why don't you check your local market for defective phones?
Of course, most phones have cracked screens, but with a little patience you may find a bootlooping one or with FRP, no service...
That will surely beat the 30-40 $ of Aliexpress, not to mention possible inconvenience with delivery times (in China Corona-lockdowns are still very popular) and customs.
I have, but there are not that many listings. Most that are, do not state the reason for their defect.
Secondly, it would still be nice to get some answers on the primary question, as it could provide insight on this topic for future scenarios.
Regarding the Ali conditions and circumstances, I have yet to encounter any issues with recent shipments (be it customs or their lockdown protocol. Plus, they often include some kind of warranty (whatever little value it has, still better than none when bought directly second-hand).
Thank you for your reply!
I would look at Amazon for refurbished phones, never buy something at AliExpress
