got the new t-mobile wing and the dam thing has got a dead pixel which is driving me nuts......not really noticeable but "I" know its there.
just wondering if any of you know where i can get this replaced or changed?
if there's a replacement lcd i can buy and a disassembly guide then id do it myself.but since its new i cant find anywhere.
Here's the problem im in vancouver. canada..so i can't send it off to t-mobile a provider that im not even part off(unless someone works for them can help?)
anyways any help appreciated.
Thanks all.

hey thanks i also read the thread on massaging the dead pixel and running some program ill let you know how that goes too.

My LCD got all cracked up in my pocket so I needed a new LCD.
I ordered the LCD from blackberry8100parts and it got within a week. I installed it today and it works like new. I video tapped parts of me tearing apart my wing to put on youtube.. It's easy do take apart if you take your time with it. I didn't get the plastic opening tool they said it was suppose to come with but I had one at work.. It's not necessary if you just run a small precision flathead around the seams after removing the screws.
Thanks for the link.. they had the cheapest LCD I could find on the net.

defective screen try send it back for new one
I cracked my LCD. I purchased a new one from seller LCD4PDA. I got the screen for $61 shipped after $5 Ebay Coupon. I used the tools and instructions included, and also the Herald/Wing Service Manual to assist in the process. It took a little time, I was being very cautious not to break anything. I would highly recommend disassembling/assembling the phone two times just to get a feel for it first. It's not too hard though, and the screen works great!
sorry to push that older thread, but i also have a cracked TFT-screen. does anybody know where to get a replacement TFT with touchscreen in germany?
or europe with less shipping costs?
thanks in advance!
www.blackberry8100parts.com
these guys are good but i noticed the screen they sent me has developed a dent in the middle where i guess the screen is used the most. like a contour in the middle.
the reason i think its the "type" of screen they sent me is because i haven't had this problem with any other screens that I've had for longer.
i cracked my wing's screen and when it cracked it also cracked the touch screen part does anyone know a good site with reasonable prices?...i was gonna send it to HTC but they asked 150 nd thats way too much
my touchscreen got cracked, i ordered a new digitizer for 12 euros, this was including shipping.
does anyone have experience with replacin the digitizer apart from taking the complete lcd out?
you tube link
i followed this tutorial and it went very easy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN6cKRM2F1M
ty, thats the one i used
unfortunately it only replaces the lcd screen and not remove the digitizer from it. But it helped me almost all the way
now that i have my lcdscreen seperated from my digitizer i found out the connector is different so im stuck anyway..

That is just for the digitizer part, not for the whole screen, like how they worded the listing, you can tell because you can see through the screen. most times the digitizer is fine but the lcd below is cracked and has to be replaced

Hey guys,
My white unlocked Hero has sustained some nasty body scratches plus it is starting to turn yellow. I'm considering a full body replacement. I was only able to find this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/GENINUE-HOUSING-FACEPLATE-FACIA-GOOGLE-G3-HTC-
HERO-WT_W0QQitemZ280402919652QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item41495100e4
Do you think that it's going to be as good as the original one? The seller claims that it's genuine, What do you think?
I found a site that has both the black and white housing for the gsm hero.
http://www.truesupplier.com/faceplate-housing-cover-for-htc-hero-g2-touch-white-color-pr-18489.html
How do I know that it's genuine? or at least as good as the original HTC cover?

The web page is called "truesupplier.com". OF COURSE its genuine
How hard is it to change the housing anyway?
by changing housing you will probably break phone trust me ... and truesupplier housing is oem not genuine by looks of it..
He might not break it if he's careful, and has the proper tools. I've taken apart a few phones without causing any problems.
So unless i'm handy at doing these things, I should not do it myself?
What if I have our local HTC agent do it? Will it at least look as good as new?
i have the white hero and would love to put the black case on it.
the site mentioned above says it comes with the tools needed to change the cover, has any tried doing this?
i would love to go for it but don't want to f*&k my phone up!
i think its not so difficult to switch the cover if you take off the backcover there are 6 screws than open the case from the top of the mobile phone and pull it off
but becarefull maybe there are flatcables from die lcd or the trackball just make it slow and be carefull all the time
and maybe you can find a dissembly how to in google
peace
this site has pics of disassembly of a hero but it's in russian.
http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/htc_hero/
If you have to pry the phone open use something plastic so you dont damage the original case. Just in case the ebay housing is rubbish.

whats the difference between oem and genuine
any1 bought replacement white hoising? mine is getting yellow. so need to buy a back cover.
Thinking of buying one myself. I accidentally dropped mine on the tiled floors of my workplace toilets LOL (luckily not IN the toilet). so now there's a little nick on the top left corner of the case.
If this is your first time you will probably scratch the covers but nothing more. You need to be very patient and i will suggest take a look to a good tutorial.
iopened my hero 1 week ago and its so easy maybe in the next days i will upload a video in youtube
bye
I bought the ebay one. It's surprisingly well built (Not Teflon though).
The sad part is that my touch screen got screwed up during the installation. The bottom part of the screen is no longer functional and the sensitivity is messed up overall. Did the replacement in a local phone shop.
Now trying to find a way to fix it.

hmm do you want to sell me your backplate of your old case? i need it please
and to fix your problem : you need a new display glas with digitizer
to remove your old glas: use a hairdryer, you have to heat up the old clue of the old glas and than you can push it easily out of the frame but be carefull not to heatup the frame, the plastic can deform, maybe you can cover it with aluminium foil from the kitchen
the video of the dissembly will be uploaded tomorrow by me
good night guys!

I don't mind giving you my old backcover though it's in a very bad shape (which is why I wanted to replace it in the first place).
Hi there!
I didn't put a screen protector on my TD2 -and over time it has become more scratched than expected. I'd like to replace the front display -I guess that is the one called the digitizer, or?

more expensive and not a word about oem product!!!
So... oem digitizer with just 19$ .... hmmmm! don't know!!!!
Perhaps this guide can help you.
Hopefully it's not permanently attached to the LCD like the ATT Fuze is. I took my Fuze apart and destroyed the LCD while trying to install a new digitizer. Apparently they use some sort of extremely strong glue between the digitizer and LCD...
Hopefully not.. But I think it's only glued to the frame.. I don't really know what kind of glue to use for the new one though...

Sorry to tell you all that the Digitizer is permanently attached with LCD. I know this because I was drop my D2 and went to service center. They change to front cover (case) which was broken when droped. when I get it back they give me back my old front cover and I notice that the digitizer is stick with over part.....
When I ask the service's counter. They told me that they have to change the new digitizer because it come with whole part.. not saparated.
Sorry for my english....
Hi Guide144, you say that when you got the digitizer back it sticked with the 'over part'. To my ears that sounds like the FRAME and not the LCD? Are you sure that it's also attached to the LCD?

Sorry for lag of my understanding, Yes the digitizer is stick with front frame, not a LCD. In my case, I ask the service to change my front cover because it broke and they change the front cover + digitizer.... because it stick together.
Hope this would clear all out.
Hi guys,
i replaced today the broken digitizer of my topaz.
Got one for $60 from ebay, with a screen (i wasn't sure if it was a screen problem or digitizer so i got both.)
you need to unstick the old one from the housing and attach the new one. i didn't use extra glue/stick , since the old one was left on the casing.
cheers
Thanks mistral82cy! Thanks for sharing -now I feel a little more up to going ahead with the operation
Hi! Could you please tell me how much the service center charged you to get the new cover and digitizer installed?
I've to change mine, as well!
Thanks a lot
I would suggest finding the parts list for the phone and finding out exactly what digitizer is needed then buy one online from somewhere such as e-bay. I did this with my G1 replaced it myself and it worked wonderfully. Research before you buy otherwise you might end up buying the wrong one or a clone which doesnt work as well
I dun it myself, buying one digitizer from ebay, getting the old one out was a little tricky , but appart from that it was easy(and i had to do it again, as i dit not secure it properly and there was dust comming underneath the screen from the sides. Any questions you could ask, but it is pretty straight forward.
pistonripper changed his housing, so he would have also replaced his digitizer, so you might want to check with him

replace digitizer on your own!
Hello everyone!
My digitizer broke last week, because i droped my Diamond!
But don't worry I am a rookie in technical things and I managed it to replace my digitizer on my own.
Don't waste money on repair charge from repairshops! Ok... you loose your garantie but the Cellphone is allready old. The new HD2 is already available!
Just buy the digitizerscreen at ebay... i've paid 60 € and then use this manual:

It's a bit hard to see on the photos but if its new can you not return it? if not then you need to look closely between the digitizer and the screen and see if the damage is just the top layer or the screen, if it is the top layer then just replace your digitizer!

As always this site is a big help. Just ordered the items, and thanks to the guide I'm fairly confident I will pull it off. For me the bottom 2cm's of the screen have shifted about 1cm to the left somehow. The digitizer still works "perfectly" but it's kinda hard to hit the right buttons like that
Hello all,
Got my S3 a couple of weeks ago and dropped it onto a wood floor on Friday with no case on it (been waiting for mine to arrive from Amazon ). The device seems to be absolutely fine apart from a very small scratch on the top left of the screen. I've been trying to live with it but it's really annoying me and would be more than happy to pay to get it fixed if it doesn't cost absolutely silly money.
Is it possible just to have just the glass replaced or will I have to shell out for the glass and the digitiser etc as well? Has anyone else had their S3 screen repaired?
Thanks
Replacing the S3 screens are pricey, I'd stick with the scratch until you do some serious damage.
It is inevitable the phone will get scratched at one point so I find it hard to believe someone would pay to have a whole screen replaced based on one scratch, you must be crazy!
If the scratch is that annoying get a decent screen protector and you won't be able to see it.
It would be very expensive. The front plate, digitizer, and amoled screen are bonded in one piece and the assembly is sold at ~US$200 in Ebay.

Just read, and see that you are about to do the same. Good luck to you as well.
Yet I think the person in the video didn't peel off just the glass but the glass together with the digitizer, which is slightly tinted as seen in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es8gezSdKv4.
The cheapest and best solution is to use a mirror screen protector. It will hide your scratch when phone is off.
When Screen on you will not notice it.
I'm sure I have read a thread where someone got it replaced at car phone warehouse for £80ish, not sure how true that is as it does seem very cheap for the job. Worst you can do is ring them and ask for a quote and them tell you this ain't true.
I have insurance which would cost me £25 excess through my bank so not really looked into costs of getting things replaced, but I have taken apart a lot of phones in the past and they are getting much harder to replace things like glass on its own. As said above it would have to have digitizer, which is pretty costly to purchase.

you can buy the unit for £150 and follow a youtube video on how to replace, or pay between £175-£225 for a full repair.
I took mine to a Samsung repair centre on a Saturday and had it fixed within 30min, paid £215 but just wanted it done.
The glass and the digiizer are glued together so the whole unit would have to be changed.

Hi
If the screen still functions and the touch is working properly you can just change the glass face but you will have to be real careful as doing it yourself without the right equipment is risky and you can end up without a screen working at all. the whole screen that is currently on the phone will be completely sealed to the phone so it is a slow process to remove it and you can end up pulling the digitizer off the lcd and again this is not fixable if this happens.
also the finish will not be as good as the original without the right type of liquid glue to go back between the glass and digitizer.
at the end of the day you are better off sending it to someone who does it a lot and has all of the gear to do it, as you will get a better finish at the end.

I replaced my cracked screen with the etradesupply digitizer + LCD, and it's not the same. I mean it works, but it's...different. Touch recognition seems a little wonky, have a few stuck pixels, the glass doesn't have an oleophobic treatment, and I'm starting to get dust under my screen. Like, a lot of dust.*
If I had to do it again, I'd just have HTC repair it. Of course, it takes 10 days and they wipe your phone, but at least it's fixed properly.
*I had a local shop do the work for me. It's possible some of these issues are from the installation and not the screen itself.

It can be fixed. Check out this video on YouTube. There were several other videos listed, as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D4uiMCbm9o&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Other than fixing it yourself or finding someone to do it for you, it's physical damage and you'd have to make an insurance claim through Asurion, which will cost you $150:banghead:

I cracked mine as well. I ended up getting a kit that had all of the parts except the motherboard for ~$80. It took me about 20 minutes to complete the repair. Pretty easy and cheaper than TEP. As long as you replace the LCD and Digitizer at the same time its pretty easy. It looks like several options minus the battery and back cover are available now for less than what I paid a couple weeks ago.

That's not a kit with everything but the mainboard. That is just the screen and digitizer replacement. It is very hard to seperate the screen from the housing without doing damage. You have to use heat and be very gentle. I know where to get the whole front housing with the screen and digitizer already assembled, which is a better option but it's $95 shipped from china (etradesupply.com). Some of my parts are scratched and I'm looking for a new front assembly with screen basically but I also need a new speaker.
This is honestly the best route to go. Coming from experience, it is extremely hard to seperate the screen from the housing. It is even more difficult to seperate the digitizer from the lcd. This is honestly your best route. You could also try hitting up ebay and try to find one cheap with a bad esn and take the parts needed.

I cracked mine as well. I ended up getting a kit that had all of the parts except the motherboard for ~$80. It took me about 20 minutes to complete the repair. Pretty easy and cheaper than TEP. As long as you replace the LCD and Digitizer at the same time its pretty easy. It looks like several options minus the battery and back cover are available now for less than what I paid a couple weeks ago.

Still waiting for details on where you can get the screen plus back housing/bezel for $80 because I need both of these & the best price I can find is about $100.

It doesn't look like he sells them anymore.
So bottom line is I can't change the digitizer with out damaging the LCD FML
