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?

[Q] Possible DIY Ventilation Holes like on the Asus ZenBook

I am wondering if anyone has thought of or even tried removing our new GPS/ WiFi panel from the back of the Tablet. What I am thinking of is to cut/ drill holes in it to increase ventilation to allow the heat to dissipte easier. I have seen something similar built it from the new Asus ZenBook. I am thinking that this could possibly allow us to run some of Clemsyn's higher 1.9 or 2.0 Over Clock kernels easier or allow him to go higher with the GPU? I would be willing to try this myself if I could find an easy way to remove that back piece without needing to remove the screen from the rest of the tablet. I am however not sure if it could harm the tablet more then it could help it. I would love to for some advice and suggestions.

Hey fellow GR TF700 owner! Nope, unfortunately there is no way to remove the back piece without removing the screen, ect. You are really talking about a full tear down of the tablet, and rebuild after adding the vents. Sounds like fun though, I am an avid PC modder and if you are looking for a partner in modding, look no further!
If you want an idea of what you are in for.. check this out:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Asus+Transformer+Infinity+TF+700+Teardown/10306/1

Thanks for the input. I didn't know there were so many XDA member from the West Michigan area. I am still debating on performing the operation on my Tablet and I have in fact seen that tutorial. I am just still not sure if it would in fact be a positive. I know that I would have to put some sort of mesh on the inside to prevent dirt from getting inside. I just always notice that my tablet can get arm on the top left corner after a while even if I am using the keyboard. I noticed this even before I unlocked and also recall it happening on my Prime.

It would seem that your warranty may not cover this if you messup on it. I got this info here. Just thought I would give a fair warning

Thanks for the fair warning. I already figured that the warranty would not be valid after i put holes in my device on purpose. I am just trying to figure out if it would in fact help lower the temperature of the device with ventilation holes. I know that our tablets may not be up to standards with actual lap tops or computers, however I do believe that we have better processors internals then early PC's and they even had cooling fans and better ventilation. I do know that we have devices now that are way to thin to put cooling fans or liquid cooling tubes, but why would it not help to put well places ventilation to help our device run cooler and more efficient. I notice that the biggest difference when my devices starts to get hotter is that the battery drains quicker. I have noticed this with any device I have overclocked that once the temperature starts rising, the battery starts dropping quicker.

Heat is a form of energy, so the reason for this should be obvious.

Spen recognition warps in one particular spot. Calibration issue or am I in for it?

I have been noticing now that I'm back in school a zone about 2/3 to the left and 2/3 up from bottom of the screen where the pen is read higher or lower than it actually is depend on where in this spot you are. It's about the size of a circus peanut and it's driving me ballistic. Is the a way to recalibrate the spen or am I going to have to get this repaired. Rooted.

Sorry from the left**

Please be careful but I found the on another thread and was able to get S pen working again by using it:
"dial *#2663# (type from the telephone application) and Wacom firmware update (kernel) --> to restore the spen working"
These upgrades may or may not work for you. Best of luck.:fingers-crossed:

Thanks yeah i have the past so no dialer here =(. I'll have to investigate the firmware update

If your tablet is in a case take the tablet out of your case and retest.
There are many that use hidden magnets embedded within them either for assisting in keeping them closed, making them adjustable (stand positions) or to turn on/off the screen when opened. These tablets are sensitive to magnetic fields and the S-Pen will be affected by magnetic fields as well. Even if you don't suspect that your case has any magnets at all go ahead and remove the tablet anyway just to see.
Post your results.

If you were here I would kiss you. That was totally it. It was such a strange spot I didn't even consider it. <3

Yeah I pulled my hair out trying to figure it out myself. My Belkin case does it. Glad I could help.

[FIXED]Lg v20 screen burn in fixed

Assalam o alaikum!
This is for all those who are facing screen burn in in lg v20 display.( This tutorial has also worked for many other devices so if you're facing the same issue just give it a try to see whether it works for you or not)
This tutorial will also increase the color vibrance of display.
The only things You gonna need are
1 a custom kernel supporting Kcal
2 kernal auditor app or Simply Color control apk
3 apply these values and use your phone for around 10 to 20 mins and screen burn in Gone (in sha Allah)
Red 240
Green 240
Blue 240
Minimum 35
Saturation 50-65(depending upon your choice of color viberancy)
Value 130
Contrast 130
Hue 1520
*For more warmer and Super amoled like color, also Go to settings>Display> comfort view and set it to low* and you're good to go ?
[<WORKING ON OREO TOO>](as reported by an oreo user)
Hit thanks if it helped

Hello, with the rom stock I can not configure? only with root? any alternative via ADB?

Seems to work!
Thanks for that fix. I had read another fix had to do with physically replacing the thermal past inside the screen. This was much easier, but I am curious as to why this works. And will there be any consequence? Will it use more power or anything like that? The only value that was far from default was Hue.

Looks like its working on my G5.

I actually looked into this and did it myself. Was quite easy as long as you're comfortable with tiny screws and parts. As far as phones go, there certainly isn't and probably never will be an easier phone to repair...
Took mine apart, saw a Reddit post about the thermal paste issue. It doesn't surprise me, these big companies always cheep out on thermal compound *cough Intel*. It's 21 screws, pop a few connectors, then the board comes out. Clean the old pink goo off, replace with good stuff (I use Arctic MX-4). So far seems ok, still noticed the retention but I'm hoping it will disappear.
Sounds like LCD displays are prone to getting hot which contributes to the image retention. I'm not an expert though, just what I read.

Yes definitely Root is required and also a custom kernal supporting KCAL
Because stock kernal doesn't support the Kcal

Do you have a tutorial or couple of photos showing where exactly the CPU is? I see some silver plates on the circuit board but not sure if I need to remove any of those to reveal the chip undercover. I applied a similar fix to a V10 but this one looks different inside. I'd love to spare some of the heat too.
I did the settings suggested by OP and looks fine so far, so shokran ya habbibi!

I didn't take any pictures. What I found was on Reddit in the LGV20 subReddit and there was a good video showing disassembly. If I find it ill link it here.
It was really easy to get to and find. 21 screws to come out then gently take out a few components. It was pretty obvious when I found the copper heatsink. Clean, reapply, reassembly.
I did actually leave my phone off one night and checked it in the morning. I didnt have any image retention at that time. After some use it came back though.
Edit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/6y63n6/_/

Just a thought. See how thin of a foam sheet you can find and try to fit it between the screen and board. :\ Im having the same issue but, it start after staying on an image for a second. I literally test how long it takes. So I wonder really how big of a role heat plays in it .

Did you try the settings suggested above(if you're rooted)?

The settings @maxi65 posted defiantly work. I can say with confidence, the changing of the thermal paste didn't help me. There could be other cases where it does improve things, but mine didn't change.
My v20 was pretty bad, so bad the sizes of the screen even showed image retention. I am almost out of the 1 year warranty so I am sending mine in for repair. Very odd

Thanks. I will look into it later today. After watching several tear down videos I finally spotted the pink dot right below the camera lens as I flip over the circuit board, that's where I mostly feel hot to the touch in the first place when heavy using. Cooling it down sounds like a great idea indeed.
Edit: did it and I can't tell too much of a difference. Scored 94K in Antutu, far from the 147k the day I bought this unit.
Hope it will get better by the time. At least I don't face retention anymore.

Glad you dont have any retention. LG has actually already repaired & shipped mine, I sent it in on Monday. That is a bit faster than I expected. It is scheduled to be delivered Saturday.
What is weird is what they gave as the reason for repair. Has me a bit concerned because I basically voided the warranty 2 ways via root exploit and replacing the thermal paste. But it still says they repaired it rather than replacing it.
Just a heads up to others, since I bet a lot of you purchased it near release. I was very close to being out of the 1 year warranty, so if you have serious image retention/ghosting/whatever you might just bite the bullet and send it in now.

Retention is long gone now since I applied Kcal settings - the main reason to root my device for - using Werewolf kernel along with kernel auditor. The thermal paste is a tribute of appreciation to the CPU doing an amazing job by now and deserves such care from me. I'm glad you have yours repaired though I wouldn't send it in meaning I had to disband my phone for at least a couple days due to above situation.

Please HELP, broken display.

My lenovo p2 display is dead.
All I can do is access Fastboot and on ADB it shows the device.
USB debugging is off and Bootloader is unlocked.
What should i do with my broken phone?
Can I use it to make a old TV smart TV. (like connect hdmi to display port of phone and use USB as keyboard and mouse?
please suggest.
I somewhere read to edit build.prop and edit ROM files and then flashing it, would make device have USB debugging on by default and i would be able to use with some mirror app.
Please suggestions are highly appreciated.

You could host stuff on it but it's not that useful imho. Would rather just use a small Raspberry pi for something like that for htpc or media.
What you can do instead is try to repair it. All you need for a screen replacement is:
- Screw driver with bit PH.000
- Pray tool or use your nails if you have nails (I cut them but obviously not too far. The guy in the video has nails too long looks nasty, lol..) You could use a knife carefully but don't damage the case. The screen doesn't matter obviously because it's broken already.
Screen assembly online (I don't know this seller):
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32893311613.html
It's really easy. On the back of the phone you have two plastic pieces, carefully remove them and unscrew and use a prey tool to get the back cover off.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24eGH-_2NN0
If you are in this far I would (if I was you) toss in another 10 euro for a new oem bettery I have here one too for spare (from ali seems to be legit, same weight and labels as original I did a compare), also for another 15 euro shipped you get complete original phone case but keep in mind for this you need to have the following tools. If you want the links to the sellers let me know all the parts I did order where original I was surprised. This is why I like Lenovo. Try this with Samsung or Apple. You always get a refurb screen or fake ****ty parts.
Parts needed for when you replace the case of the phone:
- 3M 9448AB 2mm (double sided 3m tape roll 0.5m) use for other parts like buttons and such
- 3M 9448AB 5mm (double sided 3m tape roll 0.5m) use for battery glue
- Thermal paste for the SOC heatsink (yep really)
Good luck :good:

I would totally do that, if it were 2018.
SD 625 is outdated.
I was hoping if i could use my phone processing power to play videos and apps on a non smart TV.
Thankyou for your efforts though, thats a really detailed answer.

Depends on what you do with it in general, but I agree that the software is outdated and probably with new firmware the phone will run a lot slower.
I do still use it but I am not a gamer or "power user", I mean define "power user" on a phone :laugh:. I use it for calls, text messaging some web browsing and maybe some video's. Still works fine for that purpose, but it got a bit slower over the years because of all the added features and increase of codebase of literally 99% of the apps and google services running in the background.
