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
I'm a new poster here and I'd like to share my story:
My problems with the Titan began with the Seidio Super Slim Rubberized Case. DO NOT BUY THIS CASE!! It widens the space between the keyboard and display pieces of the phone. It put so much stress on the slider carriage that the phone finally split into two pieces.
Store techs set me up with a warranty replacement which I took as an opportunity to flash a clean phone. First thing I noticed, there was no "void" sticker on the bottom left screw which leads me to believe it's a refurbished unit. I proceeded to flash anyway not using the kitchen but I flashed to dcd 2.2.3. Everything was cool but the "QWER" buttons on the keyboard were entering different text. Each were entering 2 letters when pressed. I tried installing the keyboardfix.cab but it was no help
This was unacceptable. I flashed back, then things got worse. Now the whole keyboard is off, no buttons enter text except for the letters x and m and some other seemingly random quirks. What should I do? Should I go in for another replacement or is there some way I can fix this? I've searched for hours on end and I could not get any help. Anyone?
you should exchange asap what carrier do you have as that will help us help you

they usually give u refurbs as replacement...i wud recommend just swapping it with another one...but make sure u have stock rom when u return
You can tell whether it is new or refurbished by ##778 under refurbishment status. I had heard also that the insurance replacements are refurbished unless the store does not have a refurbished phone.

I am with Verizon by the way...
But I guess, taking everyones advice so far, I'm going back to the store for my third 6800.....
I would try reflashing to different ROM and RADIO altogether... such as DCD's 1.7.0 just to see if starting from scratch helps.

Maybe you didn't have the case on right. Maybe you got a defective one. I've had my Seidio Super Slim Rubberized Case for a couple months now and I love it. I have ZERO complaints, and it doesn't widen any gaps. I would buy it over and over again.

Every warranty replacement phone I've received from Sprint has been a refurb. I imagine Verizon does the same. Otherwise they couldn't afford to replace all these phones under warranty, the way we treat them.

I've had two of these cases, and I noticed that it was putting pressure on the slider right away. The problem, at least IMHO, is that each of little tabs that hold each half on the phone have a raised edge on them that I had to file down. I'm not sure if they were just left on there from the mold, or if they were designed to be there to make the tabs stronger. If it's the latter, I will gladly risk the case tabs breaking before I let them break my phone.
Once I filed the ridge on the tabs down, there is no pressure on the slider, and I slides open as easily as when the case is off.
I have been using my T-Mobile TP2 without protection on it for a while and have dropped it a few times. The screen is still perfect and the lower half (keyboard) has relatively no damage other than a few spots of chipped paint.
But the upper half, around the edges, has took quite a bit of damage. Mostly chipped pieces and dents, partially because of me dropping it and also because the bodyguard I was using previously damaged it! It was one of those crappy snap-on ones. Will never get one again, just bought ghost armor.
Anyway my question is what is the best way to repair the chipped pieces and dents or is that piece sold somewhere so I could replace it? I have no experience replacing things on the phone but I'm sure if there's a tutorial anywhere it wouldn't be too hard for me. Besides I"m not trying to disassemble the entire thing just the upper portion without the screen.
Any help appreciated.

was hoping to profit because i will probably be selling my TP2 soon.
go to ebay and search touch pro 2 houseing case there about 80 bucks they come in balck and red and black and blue the are a little hard to swich over to but i did it and it worked out fine just takes about an hour tools and dremal if and only if ure useing the tp2 t7373
I am trying to locate a replacement front HW button (back key is either cracked or scratched and light shows through) - so, during the lcd repair process, is this button easily replaceable without getting too involved with any other components? Any suggestions or advice on what to do/where to locate this piece of plastic would be met with extreme gratitude!
Get a new housing from eBay.
Just be careful to get one that fits your version.
My phone was stolen at work on Friday, so I managed to scramble and find one at a good price on eBay and it arrived this morning.
While I did ask to see photos, and I expected some scuffs, the photos didn't do the device justice at all, as it's much worse than I expected. In all the time I've owned my devices, I've never dropped my phone once, not once! this thing's a disaster.
So I'll need to get a replacement housing. I've been looking at eBay but couldn't see anything except these ridiculous colored housings for teens and 20-somethings. Where do real adults get the housings from?
This is an excellent outer shell protector, gives better heft holding (IMHO), rubberized black, very lightweight. Just snaps on and off.
Auction ended, but locate seller store. My Tilt2 fit perfectly in the Touch Pro Verizon except camera button needed cutting shell (trivial task).

You could take it up with eBay for SNAD, probably get a refund depending on the exact wording of the add, but if it was really SNAD should do it.

Eh? On ebay? You have everything from the original HTC version to various carrier variations, search more/wider. They're 40-80$ though.

I've been checking but I haven't found anything but these colored replicas and I don't want that. I'm willing to pay more for the original housing if I could find it.
As for the eBay complaint issue, I did think about it, but eBay is such a PITA about any disputes; they always act as though they don't want to get involved at all. In the end, I'll eat this one caveat emptor, at least this time.

eBay dispute process is tedious an long winded, but will lean towards the buyer in almost all cases. You just have to be patient.

Always pay with your credit card through PayPal. Ebay and PayPal suck at disputes; your credit card company is your fall-back and your best protection as well.
You can get OEM housings for $50-60:

Looks like it's kinda tricky to replace the housing (if you're going OEM)....

Great, thanks for the tip! I'll have to look into this closer, as I think if I go with the Touch Pro 2 OEM housing, there'll be a hole for the front-facing camera.
Maybe I'll just deal with it for now and keep my eyes open for an AT&T Tilt 2 housing somewhere. If it wasn't so beat up, I'd try a warranty exchange through AT&T; I was able to do it when I purchased a used BlackBerry Bold 9700 with no problem.

Hi there!
I've a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 that is quite beat up too & I want to replace the whole housing.
Problem is where I'm living right now, the T-Mobile housing costs double of the standard Touch Pro 2 housing.
Is it possible to fit the motherboard, flex cable & LCD panel of the T-Mobile onto a HTC Touch Pro 2 casing with the power button?
I would need the touch screen & call/navigation buttons as well.
Please advise me if you know anything about this.
Thanks!
Konker
I'm afraid I don't know myself, but if you keep searching, I'm sure there is someone who's done it and knows for sure.

Ok here is the issue. Ive had my Evo 3d Since release, yes its rooted and all the good stuff. But recently i started getting issues with everything from the lock screen ring not responding always to even ghosting of the touch screen. Basically things being selected when im not even touching it. Or when I try to text it wont always select the letters I chose or even numbers when trying to dial a number. I can reset it and it works some but then fails again. From my looking online this is a Touch screen and digitizer issue most likely. Anyone ever have any issues like this or hear of them? Im thinking of just buying a touchscreen and digitizer assembly and replacing it as I would prefer to keep my root (im rooted Via Revolution with 1.40)
Any tips or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Also any suggestions on where the best place to get the parts for it would be?

Hi there, sorry to hear about your issue. I think the appropriate action will be dependent on your level of confidence and technical expertise. You can get the glass with the digitizer film for fairly cheap, but the removal and installation is tricky because it is stuck on via adhesive. If you think you can do that, Amazon, Ebay, or I can sell you one for a fair price. The other option is to get the glass, digitizer, LCD, and housing in one piece, you just swap your motherboard into it, and the part of the housing from your phone that has the serial numbers and what not on it. That would run you about 50 on Ebay. Maybe less, maybe slightly more. It is the far easier option technically speaking.
I had a digitizer problem on my EvO 3D and the Sprint store replaced it at the store for free.
But, after the change, Although the digitizer was better it too had the same problem in a smaller area of the screen.
So, it could be the screen and I happen to get two bad screens or it could be a problem with the phone itself.
Download from the market
Draw- Its great for seeing screen problems
Touch Test- It will show you where on the screen that has problem with multiple touch issues.
Thanks for the replies. I think I will get the glass, digitizer, LCD, and housing in one piece. I have plenty of skill as I work with small electronics and stuff like this for a living. BUT It just makes sense to replace them in one shot JUST IN CASE its the screen or the digitizer...
Sad Panda do you sell the glass, digitizer, LCD, and housing in one piece?
Or if anyone has a link to one from a reputable seller id be interested. Thanks!!!
Its the screen.I'm having the same issue right now.Took it to Sprint they didn't have any screens so they sent me a new phone..

Unfortunately I don't. There is a guy I bought from that was pleasant to deal with on Ebay. If you are looking for a referral from one of us, which I can understand I will get in touch with him for you. The great thing about the option you chose is you can make all the visible parts of your phone look brand new again. I got one from him at auction for 49, I have even seen them cheaper. Ebay is a good place where you can deal with an American rather than worry about international shipping. Let me know if you want the referral.
Lol I also suggest cleaning the screen. Especially if you have a case thapt overlaps a bit. Whenever I've had a similar issue this was it.

First thing I did was clean it. Still no good. Hell I can just sit it on the counter and watch it start doing its own thing. Or if I text it starts going berserk same with selecting phone numbers. Its got its own mind sometimes. Everything says its the screen assembly.
I had the same problem and the sprint tech replaced the digitizer/screen. It did not fix the problem. They replaced my phone on the spot with a gol' darned 1.50 version.

Sounds fishy. I suppose it is conceivable that you got unlucky and the port that connects the digitizer to the motherboard went bad, or maybe even something physically wrong in the bios region, but it does make you wonder if the tech only said he changed the screen and digitizer. Did you get that vibe rob?
So on my way from the car to the train station this morning, I managed to drop my phone on the ground.. I've dropped it a couple of times before, and nothing had ever happened.. but this time as soon as I dropped it I knew I wasn't getting that lucky this time. Maybe its the freezing temperatures, I don't know.. but my screen now has massive spiderwebbing in two of the corners, and cracks running all over the screen. The last day to do returns for the holidays (which is when I bought it) was January 15. I also didn't get insurance.. am I screwed? :/
I have seen operable cracked screen DNA's go for about $300-400 on eBay. In the long run you could do that and then buy one second hand without a cracked screen for about $450-$500, so in reality a $100 screen replacement
You could also have a shot yourself here. The internals don't look very hard to be honest
You can get some ideas here also
Contact a HTC repair centre first and maybe it works out cheaper?
Good luck

Thanks for the information! I'm not sure how much I trust myself taking apart my phone, but I may not have another choice. HTC RMA is asking $220, and it would take 7-10 business days (not including shipping).. I may potentially buy the screen shown in your link and try to do it myself. Although it says "Digitizer Touch Screen", it would only be the glass I'd be replacing, correct? The capacitive layer is still working perfectly fine, so I don't want to mess with that..

It would be the entire assembly you're replacing, it all comes as one unit rather than the glass and digitizer separately. From what I've seen from the pictures of the disassembled DNA, it doesn't LOOK as though it would be terribly difficult.

My thoughts exactly. Just make sure all of the cables are the correct length on the eBay items. (I have received 2 screens for 2 different models that had short flex cables) and I tried to force one of them and it snapped, the other one the guy said they were all the same so he refunded me. You could check if any other eBay users that have purchased them have left positive feedback too.
It would be awesome if genuine dealers were entitled to sell the screens but they are OEM and only to be installed by a qualified repair centre. LAME HUH!
However, DNA looks pretty basic and you could always post pictures of your progress and get some help from us guys if you get stuck Good luck guy
