Can I replace my XDA2 screen with other PDA screens??
Very doubtful.
It might be possible with an IPAQ's screen since they're from the same manufacturer. I'm not exactly sure what type of IPAQ though.
i'm pretty sure that the newest ipaq's are not made by htc anymore
seem to recall hp making a switch of supplier

I have a XDA II with a crack in the screen (where my son stepped on it) it is totally unusable, I also have an old XDA II screen from another unit now I have tried to change over screens but they have different connections, I will take a photo of both connectors later on tonight, and post here.
I was wondering where you can buy these screens??
or if some one can tell me how to get the older unit to work which is a lost and then found device (NOT STOLEN FROM ANYBODY) does not work when i put the sim in it, is IMEI locked?
thanks in advance

they should have identical connections if both units are XDA2. i've replaced a fair few. make sure the old screen isnt from an xda1. the photos would be handy. sounds like you have different devices on your hands. chi mai electric co in china make the 64k screen you're looking for. you can find them on global sources.
I have exactly the same problem!
I have exactly the same problem (well kind of)
I have a problem with my XDA 2 with the main board...
I've managed to get hold of another XDA2 with a broken screen that i
intended to use the board from with my screen.. but the screen connectors are different!!
Where abouts are you? Perhaps we could do a swap?
(if we both dont have the same wrong connectors on screens/boards
that is!)

Well. It may be a tough old brick, but it's not THAT tough.
I fell over on a train, landed on my laptop bag, and smashed my Athena. The case is bent slightly, the screen initially displayed half in a sort of halftone, then a crack became visible and no more display. It's still powering up, trying to connect, etc.
Insurance has paid out, and in the meantime I upgraded my Vodafone contract to an E90, changed the E90 ID, flashed latest firmware and got Vodafone to unlock it (all in 12 hours from getting it) so have a decent data friendly phone on T-Mobile again.
I'm going to hook the Ameo up with the VGA adaptor and see if it works with that still. I was able to make calls with it when the screen was dead, and the HD can be heard to spin up correctly.
I'm left with accessories, an LG Style-i, and a Piel Frama case.
Now, I'd be interested in either obtaining a new case and screen (including the front camera cover; my lens fell out!), or wondering if the working components have any value. It is unlocked and has the latest T-Mobile release of WM6.
I also have a smashed-screen, radio bricked Universal.
You know there are so many bricked Athena around. It might make sense to take the screen and casing from one of those and savage at least a fully working system.
Well, if anyone has a bricked Athena for "safe to experiment and possibly fail horribly" price, then I'm interested.
You can always get a new housing over at brandos for 100 US Dollar with all the included buttons.
How much do you want for your broken Athena?
I want it for testing.

Hello,
yesterday I installed some new games on my p4350 and let a friend play with it,
unfortunally he pushed to hard with the stylus and the screen got damaged . the screen is still working but it got a dent.
now I wanna replace the screen myself, anybody can give me instructions how to do this?
Also i wanna know if the soft layer on the top(not the screen protector) and the lcd, is one thing.

download and read that ,it will show you how to disassemble the herald and take the screen out
Replacing digitiser on Herald as opposed to Hermes
Scuse me for butting in but I have both just bought a Herald with a broken screen AND have done a few screen replacements on Wizards, Blue Angels and Hermeses.
On this Herald I had just assumed that you could basically follow the video on YouTube which shows how to replace a screen on a Hermes? I see that the PDF file is quite complicated and is designed to show you how to take off every tiny part if it has failed. The screen replacement is far easier that this, right?
Secondly, I see that you can buy the screen separately from the 'protector' which is I assume the bit with the hole in on your unit? I have to say, I had never seen these replaced separately before: Is this something special to the Herald or can you replace this digitizer separately from the screen on other units as well? If so, how on earth do you get it off the screen please? And is there a reliable way of getting one back on? (There is no reference to this in the pdf manual but the digitizers are suddenly being sold on ebay for about five bucks)
So the question is whether this is still as difficult on the Herald as threads on the Hermes suggest?
I've opened my Herald, and to reach the screen you have to disassemble the whole thing.
It's not that difficult (albeit while following the service manual, since there are a lot of tricky areas like removing the Keyboard), you just need to have patience and not rush it.
Any way to set up device after flash with no touch screen.
The digitizer or screen is not functioning, before i take it all apart as shown anybody no of a way to bypass the touchscreen setup.
before trying to change the digitizer...
(and i know this is crazy but worked for me after replacing the cable going from the screen to the board)
install a screen protector and try again!
I had the same problem after opening my Herald, and right now the screen only works if i have a screen protector on. If not then nothing happens
digitizer replacement is actually very easy.

As I have now posted on a different thread, the digitizer replacement is actually very easy. You just slip a razor blade under the tabs and lever it off after removing that yellow tape on the back.

I agree. It was not difficult at all. I took apart and put together the phone a few times after just to develop a feel for it.
We have a tendency to get nervous about it but if you relax it becomes easier.
I have a a extra digitizer that I never used. If anyone wants it, pm me.
Hello all.
My gorilla glass on my prime is cracked. And I know I could get it replaced by Asus. My question is since they are going to do a full diagonistic on my prime.
Could they replace the LCD screen to the TF700? I mean would that be even possible.
unlikely. If you ever opened a laptop different screens have different "pinouts" as it were for graphics, power, etc. and there are pages of what are called datasheets explaining the peticulars of the screens. Now you CAN replace similar screens from, lets say an HP laptop into an Acer laptop if they are compatable, or a similar run of differently specd laptops may have the same screen module in them. It makes it easier to do repairs.
However on the tablets there is less standardization. A screen module in, say, the iciona tab wont work in the transformer and vice versa. They are too specialized.
If you could somehow get the datasheets for each screen and rewire the connectors to match properly you would also have to code your own linux drivers and insert them into android just so the tab knows what to do with the screen.
That being said there is one ray of hope: Asus being asus they MAY keep compatability between the three transformer screens, meaning the piniouts and specs might be similar enough that you could replace the 700 screen with one from a 300 or the other way around, the only real way to test is to actually try it.
However you run into other issues too, these things are designed so compact that everything is glued / screwed into the screen or casing. If you open a 300 you will notice it is very different construction than the 201, and since the 700 isnt out yet who knows how they will make that one.
Basically, short answer is no, like 98% but im ok with the screen on the prime its good enough for me.
