Where to get spare parts?
The top of the screen, the plastic layer. Where the HTC logo is printed on. That thing is broken. So the touch functonality isnt working anymore. And it is scratched. Where can i buy such a thing?
Ebay has good deals. What you need is called the digitizer. Such as: touch pro digitizer on ebay. I just had the same problem as you. I dropped my phone and something scratched the very outside layer of the screen. A small patch started peeling away and the touch screen stopped working.
Some sellers on ebay offer both the digitizer and LCD as a package, but unless the display is also not working, you can save money and buy just the digitizer.
I ordered mine on http://shop.brando.com/
Hi,
I dropped my Desire S facedown on a solid floor today and the screen cracked. I can still use the phone fine and it just looks like it's only the touchscreen/digitizer that has cracked.
Is it likely that the LCD under it has been affected aswell?
I can get it repaired with a GENUINE HTC Digitizer for £65... Does this sound fair?
Cheers
You can do it by yourself. There's some videos of dissasembling phone on youtube. This is to expensive price for digitizer, maybe try to buy it on ebay:
ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170687483863&ssPageName=ADME:L:OCL:1123
I and one other user bought from there.
Hi Guys,
Yesterday i was walking on the street and my phone slipped out of my hand fell in the ground... The glass got smashed in one of the corners and i would like to get it replaced.
Could you tell me of a retailer where i could buy a replacement with good quality and reasonably priced? And can i buy just the glass or do i have to buy the LCD too?
Thanks in advance
You need the screen and frame since its fused together, something like this http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Touch-Digiti...cement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20e38dc59b&_uhb=1
Edit: that should be one piece, seems you have to bond the frame and screen? No clue, do some more research.
Hi
My nexus 5 has fallen down. Touch and everything is working graet. But the front glass is broken. Is it possible to replace just the front glass or must i replace the whole lcd+Touchscreen??
The whole lcd costs 80 €. Its too much for this old phone.
Thanks in advance
You need special equipment to separate the glass from lcd and there is a large chance that you break the lcd. LCD with Glass and plastic frame cost around 40USD on aliexpress or ebay
Yup, aliexpress.com is the way to go for a low price but the screen isn't quite as nice as an original LG screen. I've replaced the LCD/frame/digitizer on two N5s and it was very easy.
Over the weekend I dropped my mix 2s and have cracked the bottom of my screen glass.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and fixed this. I have purchased a new glass on eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/263620735738?ViewItem=&item=263620735738
I am planning to take it to a professional repair shop.
Is it likely that they will be able to separate the glass from the LCD and glue on this replacement? Is there any risk of this going wrong and my screen from acting weird afterwards?
No, it is in fact very unlikely they'll be able to separate them.
It will be more expensive but you'll have to get an lcd display and glass assembly all together.

According to this: Ali Express
LCD Only: If the image under the glass is broken and the touch panel is NOT then you only need an LCD.
Touch Panel aka Digitizer: If the top touch panel or aka glass top is cracked or broken but the image under it is fine then you only need the Touch Panel.
Complete Screen with Touch Panel and LCD: If the top touch panel is broken and the LCD image is either black liquid or cracked you need a complete screen.

According to that; If the glass is cracked, I only need the Digitizer replaced.
I am happy to get the whole thing, its just I have already ordered a Digitizer and thought this was all I needed. I could be wrong.
Any recommendation on the type of screen I should purchase for best results?

Hi i managed to change my whole lce by myself. Its quite hard only for heating the glue and opening everything. There is no guide on internet so i just follow mi mix 2 guide. I bought from aliexpress, 60 euro, claimed to be original, checked its JDI from cti app, and very good quality, color also very good, nothing weird, glass also oleophobic.
Any update on this? I'm in the same situation, front glass is cracked but phone otherwise fine. Replacement is only $10, but can just the glass even be replaced?
I just bought the whole LCD/Digitizer for $60, not even going to attempt to separate just the glass

Hey emanuel.caesar,
thanks for your helpful post. A few further questions from my side:
which lcd did you choose exactly? Are you still satisfied with the quality? And the last question Does the video guide for the Mi Mix 2 work for the Mi Mix 2s as well or are many things different? Thank you in advance for a short reply.
Hello,
Is not a good idea to try to just replace de LCD screen. I did this operation many times in the past and I can confirm that's a long operation (~1h30), there's a lot of risks that you break the digitizer and for a good result, you need LCD glue and a UV machine.
So, I think it's a better idea to replace all the screen: LCD + Digitizer.
Any suggested YouTube videos to replace the glass + LCD + digitizer?
Looking at a used phone with broken glass. It's like $10 for glass or $32 for the whole set and if I recall last time I had glass swapped it was like $60 labor and no guarantee the LCD wouldn't break. I'm pretty technical have repaired plenty of phones Android and iPhone. Anyone have a good link for removing the LCD / digitizer / glass unit? Is this like the Samsung where you need to use a blow dryer to heat the adhesive to get it off? Or like an iPhone where you just take screws out and pry the panel out? Much appreciated
