I have read a lot about this and I know it is hard but I have no choice... But what I havent found is a step by step guide in how to do this, so can someone help guide me?
I have two "lcd units" (digitizer, glass and lcd), one of them has a broken lcd and the other a broken digitizer... So I need to combine these to get one perfect one...
From what I hear I should remove the digitizer together with the glass, not just the digitizer? Or?
Thx

Hello guys,
I need advice on whether I should dismantle my Blackstone, or should I just leave it to the pro? I want to change the housing as the current one's badly damaged but I dont want to pay big bucks for that.
As for myself, I have fair knowledge on these stuffs, as I have dismantled my previous HTC phones, ipods etc etc. However, the last time I tried to change the antenna cover of my Blackstone, I felt that it was rather difficult compared to the previous phones/devices I did. I ended up breaking the connecting latches on the old antenna cover. And I did follow the HTC Service Guide, which I think is not sufficient.
I couldn't find any video tutorials on dismantling the Blackstone. Could someone point me in the right direction please? Thanks a million
I just had to replace a damaged digitizer. i downloaded the service manual and it did help......a little! Basically, the main dissasembly was pretty straight forward, but the digitizer replacement was a nightmare!!! The LCD, Digitizer and front housing are basically fused together with an adhesive tape. Trying to remove the LCD from the digitizer was futile (broke the LCD). I had to basically replace the LCD and the Digitizer to make it all work again. The main problem with the new hardware is that you cannot get the stock replacement adhesive/tape so i had to use stuff from around the house.....i hope the diplay doesn't fall out of my phone. Anyway, got it eventualy working. Definately doable....but be careful not to touch the digitizer or LCD with your fingers.....whooops! Anyway, good luck.

Thanks.
Hmm. Or maybe the problem was only me. I find it pretty hard to dig out the antenna cover from its latches. Maybe I was digging on the wrong spot. And thats why I was reluctant to continue further. Mind sharing how you "digged" the antenna cover?
Yeah, be careful with separating the LCD from the digitizer. I recently replaced the digitizer on mine. I agree with the antenna cover, I had some troubles with mine.
I used a old sim card to help pry the antennae cover off. Because my digitizer was cracked i was able to peel it off the lcd without the the lcd. Managed to use the old adhesive tape aswell.
Check out this thread - it might help you! There you will also find a link to a video some other user made, showing how the HD can be disassembled! But - as others already have said: I wouldnt recommend disassembling the screen unit! I too managed to destroy my LCD doing so! forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462102
Thanks alot guys. Appreciate it.
video is in my signature. Changing the antenna cover is actually really easy once you have done it ... once or twice ;-)

Good luck as whn replacing the digitizer you will most likley break the LCD.
Where I work we have recently begun replacing digitisers on a number of HTC models, the Blackstone has a good success rate on average, we break the lcd in a few cases, the blackstone and diamond are the most difficult to replace sucessfully, we have found that carefully heating the digitiser helps to soften the double-sided adhesive tape used to stick the digitiser to the frame, and carefully using a thin blade, such as a scalpel or razor blade to separate them.
However it is a difficult process, and the risk of damage is quite high without specialist jigs and tools.
Good luck, and take it slowly and carefully.
...I insist
My opinion (i have replaced the screen successfully and I am familiar with transfer adhesives): if you are not a professional, don't replace the digitzer only but get a pre-assembled LCD+digitizer. it looks more expensive at the beginning, but at the end you'll save money AND time...
Hi. i just make this mistake, first i buy only digitaizer, i start change i broke the lcd, after i order the lcd only. i start fix together, everything ok, buth the digitaizer dont working. i conect everythink, 4 times i check and nothing, wath is the problem. i read manuals wath movies, and i dint find answer for my problem.
Please help.
yeh after getting the lcd and digi away from frame i made the mistake of peeling the digi off and finding out its got double sided sticky tape which will never look the same unless new sticky is aplied which i dont think we can do, so i bit the bullet and ordereed a pre asemmbled lcd and digi for £54
Any ideas how to glue preassembled lcd+digi to new housing? No sticky tape there.. maybe a link where can i buy such a thin tape.. cant find it in local stores
Hi guys,
My glass front is a little bit damaged and now I found this on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.nl/HTC-Touch-HD-T82...iewItemQQptZHandy_Zubehör?hash=item3a541a435b
Does anyone have experience in installing this thing. Or even to remove the old glass front, because I have now idea how I should that either without wrecking the device...
Please advise... Thx!

My Touch HD, for 9 months now, perfectly works with the screen cracked.
Touch is ok, no problem.
No pixel missing (only the distortion from the cracks thats barely visible from straight look).
I'd like to change it my self but i dont know what to change....!!
touch screen: viewitem.eim.ebay.gr/HTC_Touch_HD__T8282_LCD_Screen_Display__Tools_New/220603358520/item
or
LCD: viewitem.eim.ebay.gr/Tctil_Pantalla_wGlass_Lens_Para_HTC_Touch_HD__T8282/150367803789/item
But it works now, if the risk changing it myself is high, from killing it, is it better to leave it as it is?
P.S. I had changed my screen 1 year ago and I payed 268€ (it cracked in 3 months after htc service)
Thnx in advance
it's probably the lcd since the touchscreen (digitizer) is made out of plastic. I don't think that'll crack very easily
OK i have a similar question...
But first of all can someone please clarify if the OP has the items the other way around? I mean is touchscreen (digitizer) the outer casing with the plastic screen and LCD the inside part?
OK now to my question. I dropped my phone and scratched the outer casing. Everything works fine but i would like to change the touchscreen just for aesthetics. Reading many many many tutorials i noticed most people faced problems trying to replace lcd screen only or touchscreen only and prefer to buy the bundle. My question is if i buy the touchscreen that the OP states here : viewitem.eim.ebay.gr/Tctil_Pantalla_wGlass_Lens_Para_HTC_Touch_HD__T828 2/150367803789/item isn't just a matter of connecting the digitizer to my existing LCD? Are they connected with a conducting adhesive tape as i was reading on the tutorials? Or this is not the part connected with the adhesive?
Thanks a lot for the help and sorry for hijacking the thread.
I've changed only the digitizer in my Blackstone but its really difficult job and took me about half day to finish. The digitizer its glued to LCD and you need to be very careful to separate them. I've done it only because i bought this HD very cheap for parts but next time will probably buy the whole part (LCD+Digitizer).
don't change digitizer
my touch-panel was not working correctly,i bought a digitizer to change it self but the lcd is broken ... impossible don't try.
i recommend you to buy complete set lcd+digitizer , its need only one click on motherboard
be carefully

It's possible, I did it yesterday
I cracked the glass on my radar, but i already have the new part. I can't seem to find a disassembly guide anywhere to replace the glass. Can anybody help me out. Thanks

its in another language but that's the guide i used to take mine apart. I might make my own eventually but this will suffice
