I cracked the digitizer on my fuze not too long ago, but I have been looking around for a new one so I can replace it. I have only for the one that belongs to the touch pro that has the camera on front which means there is a hole where the att logo would be. Does anyone know where I can get one that at least has no hole on the digitizer? And on that note does anyone know how to replace the digitizer? Because I know how to do it on the diamond (I found a site that went step by step how to) but the fuze is obviously different from the diamond. I hope I wouldn't have to dismantle the whole thing since there looks to be a way just to get to the screen from the sliding part instead of going through the back.
Did you manage to find one of these?
no I didn't. But I managed to get att to replace it. It's been a while now since i talked to them, but appperentally I had bought a warranty on it with out me knowing it. But if you have an idea where to find it, that would be helpful in the future if I am not so lucky again
Hey guys.. I droped my touch pro about a week ago onto concrete and need a few replacement parts.. I haven't dropped a phone for years when I have had much cheaper phones and now I get a decent one this happens!
The phone actually still works 100% but is in a horrible state.. the digitzer has smashed but somehow still works, theres a key missing from the keyboard and the case is a bit munted, I will attach photos if I can.
I called 3 places in australia;
#1 HTC direct who said send it to us for a quote and we may be able to fix it ($38.50 for the quote and $11 to courier it back)
#2 A htc approved repair centre who said $170 for the screen and $110 for the keyboard.. I got into an argument with their receptionist saying the lcd is fine I just need the digitzer but she was adament they are one and the same.
#3 The vendor where I got the phone, who said their repair centre could fix it but I would have to send it to there for a quote ($35 for quote and $15 postage back)
So from what I can see I'm looking at around $300 from one place or pay $50 to another place for just the quote and they may not come back any cheaper..
I am confident enough to pull the phone apart and repair it myself.. don't have much to lose.. (I actually replaced the phone with a touch HD the next day.. sort of like drown your sorrows by replacing it with something better) As the touch pro wouldn't turn on and I figured it was completely dead..
On closer inspection a few days later I found the battery terminals had bent and wern't contacting, I bent them back and it turns on and works now)
I just want to replace the broken parts because it's a horrible mess!
I found a store on ebay selling the digitzer for $60 which is around what I would expect to pay, waiting to hear back from them if they can source a keyboard and the internal case parts, I thought someone on here might know where I can source these parts outside of Australia?
pics are below.. hope they work (warning: not for those with a weak stomach! )

It would be easier to just buy the lcd with digitizer already installed

Here's the complete housing with keyboard.

Thanks, you're a lifesaver! the only trouble is that keyboard is different to mine I think the keys would probably all line up and work but you would have to know which one was which (the symbols and punctuation ones would be hard) if I can't get the right one I'll probably order from there but if anyone knows where I can get the correct keyboard that'd be even better
Happy to help
Let me see if I can find you the touch pro keypad.

If you were here I would hug you, I have no idea how you found that so fast, maybe I was looking in the wrong places (scouring ebay and google australia) but I've been looking for hours! can now order all the parts I need to turn it into a brand new phone
Out of interest, when you say it's easier to get the screen with the digitzer already installed, is there a reason for that? I see digitizers advertised everywhere seperately, and thought they were an entirely seperate part to the LCD, or are they connected via a bunch of fragile edge connectors? I'm happy to pay the extra $44 to get the lcd / digitzer combo if theres a risk of screwing up seperating them but if it's not a hugely risks job then I wouldn't mind saving the cash..
Thanks so much d3th metal
Hey mate, i got a big f'ing scratch down my brand new fuze. Would love to know how this goes, if you get the digitizer or full screen. As im going to try and polish it out, but i dont hold much hope. So i think this is going to be the only way.
Don't know if this is a case of too little too late information, but i tried to replace the digitizer only on my touch pro because i had some major scratches on the screen. I've taken a part a number of phones in the past and I work with electronics for a living, and for the life of me I have no idea how anyone could separate the LCD from the touchscreen. I ended up cracking the LCD glass and breaking one of the itty-bitty flat cable connectors. My recommendation to anyone contemplating this is to just pay the additional cash to get the LCD and digitizer together. I tried to save $40 and now my phone is in a zillion parts in a plastic bin waiting for the new screen to get here

Yeh the way to do it is to use a razor blade. It will definitely take some time though and a lot of patients.
This would be awesome for a sticky. It would provide anyone who needs help with getting parts for their touchpro/raphael/fuze if they decide they need it.

Hi all,
I need to buy the original back cover for my phone. It sounds strange, but I had to send my phone to repair, and they gave me the back cover, after a week, I lost it! I really don't know what I did with it. Probably I'll find it, but now that I have my phone again, it is completely naked!
Do you know where to buy the back cover??

Not exactly what you asked, but I hope it may help. (I don't work for Clove, and I don't own mentioned case, so I cannot say anything about it's quality.)
I am also looking for the original back cover...
Anyone?
I don't know about your countries but LG should be able to give you the number for the official retailers of spare parts for the LG brand unless it's LG themselves and you should be able to buy it from them.
I was setting this phone up to give away (for free) to someone as their first smartphone. But a bad charging port fried the phone. Does anyone have a phone to donate? I would take a complete phone or just a motherboard... or even a broken phone to salvage the motherboard from. Right now eBay doesn't have any that look like they would be usable (they don't power up). If you are willing to donate a working phone, I'll take pretty much anything!
Hey, thanks to anyone who can help me in any way!
If you know of anywhere I can find a replacement for very cheap, that would be great too!
Just curious... if I switch the motherboard, are there any problems I could have since the IMEI doesn't match the one on the motherboard?

Shouldn't be a problem. One thing though, some carriers like to pick on people about their IMEI so make sure you keep your original somewhere safe.
Thanks for the reply. I will be sure to write it down and keep it on a post-it right on top of the old one!

I guess I need to buy a new one. Know if the phone will work without til it arrives? Thanks
Nfc antenna! So I don't need it. I actually smashed it back in with the tear in case it'll still work, but they are available cheap in China.
