Hi everyone,
Due to a certain female acquaintance of mine my phone has suffered some medium-serious cosmetic damage.
The screen has a large scratch on it and the reflective bezel is chipped in multiple places.
I contacted the authorised HTC repairer in Australia and I got a quote for ~400 AUD.
I have looked around and found that I can buy the screen/digitizer separately but haven't found where to obtain the bezel. Would anyone be able to help me? I'm comfortable repairing the phone on my own.
Thanks for any help in advance
What about ebay?

Guys I'm looking for a real original htc touch screen, till now I've found only clones. I tried them 2 times, and differently than the original one, when I dropped the phone with the clones 2 times on 2 I immediately broke the touch screen. Instead when I dropped the phone with the original one I had no problem at all.
The clones just suck...
Do you know where to find the real original touch screen?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-HTC-T...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item2eb0678ba3
supplied me genuine lcds & digitizers for a variaty of HTC & Nokia devices.
Big part with final result on Diamond 2 is correct bonding of digitizer, non solid setting adhesive should be used & full bonding around the edges must be achieved.
Solid setting adhesives transfer shock without any absorbtion & non bonded areas flex & resonate causing potential fracture points.
Of course ****e quality chinese copy parts play a big roll in problem repairs too ...
Actually I bought exactly the new touch screen from that seller. And that touch screen wasn't the original though.
You can see that it's not an original one looking at the zoom bar. It's shorter that the origial one. The genuine one gose from edge to edge, instead the clone one is smaller. And the overall colour is different. I can post pictures of both original one and clone one.
Anyway what do you mean by solid setting adeseive??
Just put in a PayPal claim for non delivery & get your money back. recently got LCD & digitixer for 2 Diamond repairs, both parts were original. If sent you copies do them over, get your money back & give them some nasty feed back.
No hard solid adhesives should be used, needs to be soft rubber type glue to help absorb & stop shock loads transfering to digitizer.
Ok here is a picture where you can see the difference between the original and the one bought from that seller. Is yours similar to the one marked original or to the one marked clone?
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/2456/touchscreen.jpg
One marked original, markings are light & the - & + icons run almost in-line with edges of screen.
Also back lighting bleeds through too much on cheap copy digitizers.
They supplied you a non genuine part so screw them over big time.
I live in Asia & by my digitizers & LCDs from UK as all our local parts suppliers sell china spare parts of supposing different quality pending on how much you are willing to pay ! Quality of almost all chinese digitizers & LCDs are simply ****e & not worth the postage stamp & do nothing but pollute the environment with manufacturing waste & a product that is waste as soon as removed from packaging.
Sorry to thread hi-jack but iv'e been looking for this answer everywhere and everywhere says what type of adhesive to use but no one gives a specific make-brand or link to buy any .
I was looking at buying a full case from the same seller as my phones current case is looking a little worn out and although the digitizer is perfect and is falling out i dare say when i try to get it off it will smash into a million little pieces so i'll order the full set. But my question remains what is the best type of glue to use who makes it and where can i get it from?
Oh and would be handy to hear if you have any tips or experiences using it.
Thanks
Digitizers, don't buy here, go there!
I too ordered 2 digitizers from E-cell; both were fakes!! They won't go into any discussion with me, they just told me to send them back. They KNOW that is crap there selling and advertise it as genuine...
BE AWARE DON'T BUY THERE, IT IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
Yesterday 2 new digitizers arrived. I ordered them on ebay at:
Service Parts UK
Sarfraz Arif
10 sunny bank grove
Bradford
West Yorkshire
BD37DJ
United Kingdom
They work perfectly, this guy has 100% positive feedback on ebay. So if you want a good replacement, try it.
Digitizer glued to LCD?
I contacted a repair man and told me it's a waste of time buying replacement digitizer as the orginal is stuck onto the LCD and you risk damaging the LCD if you attempt to remove it.
Is this true or is he scaring me off in doing the job myself.
Also I read that you need adhesive tape is this true?
If refering to Diamond2, LCD is not bonded any any way to digitizer.
Digitizer is bonded to alloy front chassis only.
This is one of the easiest HTC models to strip & repair, LCD or digitizer can be fitted individually no question.
If you take care with disembly & be gentle with all ribbons it will be simple.
some common sense & previous experience comes in handy de-bonding & rebonding digitizer but its far from scary.
Adhesive tape is not the best option but perhaps the simplest.
I used a tiger brand u30 adhesive, black in colour & sets rubbery so act as a good shock absorber. advantage of adhesive bonding is better full radius bonding resulting in a more shock & direct impact resistant digitizer.

I have replaced mine 4 times. Used 3m black rubbery adhesive tape.
If you where my neighbour i would have changed it for faster than you could drink a cup of coffee
It's a bit tricky to find god digitizers on Ebay.
This is one of the best I bought. The backside should look like the one in this auction.
There's allot of rubbish digitizers on ebay.

@Mr B
Where do you buy this tiger brand u30 black adhesive? I googled it and found no results.
Also if I ever needed to replace the digitizer again will it be easy to remove if it had u30 adhesive on it?.

I bought this Touch Screen Digitizer For HTC Touch Diamond 2 II T5353 and waiting for it to arrive. It was the only one I could find within my own local ebay listing that looks to have the right full length zoom guide at the bottom. Come over for a cuppa.

Fortune IT hardware shop BKK. No done a second replacement yet but tested adhesive prior to using it for assembly & it should be quite easy to clean to about 90%.
Tape is the simplest but varies in adhesive strength & can result in digitizer being not flush fitting & not evenly bonded resulting in easy failure with impact loads.
Also most people who use tape end up doing second replacement.

Hi.
Almost a 1 yeard old post but can you tell me the seller ID that sent you the digitizers or any other that you used to get good quality ones?
I really need it and most I found looks very low quality items.
Thanks.
Sorry for my poor english.
I have to replace back hard cover (and aluminium frame) of my TF101 but I don't know where to buy it, anyone can help me?

The quality of construction of these parts are very poor (the joint parts break themeselve so easily) so I'm happy if there is other brand (not asus) that produce them

Thanks,
it's exactly I was looking for... but 50,44 euros for the alluminium frame are a theft!
Most TF's that are unfortunate enough to suffer some kind of trauma ends up with a broken or cracked screen. I'm surprised you can't find a replacement screen anywhere... at all.

Has anyone found a cheaper alternative for the bezel? I figured it would be like 10 bucks when I tore mine off out of frustration over the sticky power button... now the back is falling off lol.
Also want to buy the bezel.
C'mon, china brothers, start to make them! You will have million orders!
on Asusparts.eu with shiping it costs 71 Eur. ... Almost $100 for cheap aluminium frame ... Will their bezel do BJ ?
As of lately, is there anyone who has found a site in the USA which sells the parts? Don't really want to order my part from Sweden... I need a Power/Volume daughter board, its about $89 shipped from sweden... really want it sooner than 5-6 weeks.

Hello,
Yesterday I have applied too much pressure to my dear Blade, so I got several cracks going through my screen. I am really not into fixing this kind of problem myself, so I'm thinking about other options. I can give it repair shop, but it will take ages as they would have to order the parts and would certainly order new screen, not just glass, resulting in an enormous price that would most likely be bigger than the one I bought this phone. Does anyone know any ways of filling the cracks? It might be important that those cracks doesnt seem to reach the bottom of the glass. I have found many suggestions of bringing the phone to mechanics who fix the cracks on the windshields. Would that be a good idea?
I would been orderd full replacement on dealextream or amazon or any other site.
would take 1-2 weeks to get the replacement, and just watch a video how to replace it
AND ITS CHEAP!!!!
Some Links:

Thank you very much, but are you sure it comes with a glass for screen included?
I really don't know, ill watch some others when i get home from my job!
Thank you for your help! And what do you think about bringing it to the car windshield repair service, totally bad idea?

Sounds like a bad idea. I think the part he linked doesn't include any glass, but there are replacement parts with the glass cheap on ebay & dealextreme.
However ...many people I asked said dealextreme can't be trusted

Many other people buy off them successfully & are happy. They're a big popular website for cheap stuff from China. Some Cheap stuff from China is low quality. Some is fake. Sometimes it might get lost. Often you get a good deal, but there's a risk involved, buyer beware.
Our phones are cheap Chinese phones, made in China for a Chinese company, more have been sold in China than the rest of the world combined. I think about 6 million sold in China. A website that specialises in cheap stuff from China is the ideal place to find replacement parts for our phones.
You could also find the same things on eBay, if you trust it more.
Dropped my s3 and cracked the screen at the bottom. Its just the glass bit, touch and LCD seem fine so the digitiser is ok.
Does anyone on here know anyone in the north east of England who is able to just replace the screen or recommend a repair by post service.
Been quoted prices of over 150 quid which seems very expensive as there is nothing wrong with digitiser.
I know I can buy the parts for about a tenner but I'm useless with things like this so would make it worse

Any good mobile repair shop should be able to just change the glass. Most will repalce the sealed unit of glass / Digitiset / AMOLED panel though. Just keep contacting mobile phone repair centres until you find one who will do it.
Know someone in North London I've used twice, £50 + postage and I was pleased with result.
Look up everymobile (IIRC) on ebay, London NW2.
If that's not right PM me and I'll find their name.

I dropped my tablet and cracked the glass on the display. Besides the crack in the outer glass, the display and touch input both work just fine.
I've noticed replacement glass on Amazon for about twenty bucks. A local repair place says that doesn't do the job; the display needs to go to a place that can refurbish the display and laminate new glass, at a cost of about $175 USD, with another $110 for the shop to remove and replace the display.
Is this legit? If it really is that complicated, does anybody know of a reliable shop that will just do the whole job my mail, hopefully for less money?
Thanks.

Your better of selling the tablet and taking the hit and pick up a new one, as it's a huge job replacing the glass only!
Also, the screens alone are £300+ and you can't get any local shop to replace the glass only, as you need specialist tools it's no small task but if you’re looking to repair it, the quote you been quoted is pretty fair!
I know it’s too late but why on earth didn’t you purchase a case for your tablet? I’ve got the supcase on my Tab S6 LTE amount of times mine has gone flying across the room I would have had a shattered display and shattered rear glass but thanks to the case not a mark or crack!

Sorry for you. In case it is only a single crack - have you thought of only putting a protective glass above it? That way it is sealed and might be less visible. Maybe you want to share a picture.

The crack is almost invisible and I can't even feel it, but it's annoying that it happened. A local repair shop is sending the screen in for refurbishing when they have several orders lined up.

UPDATE: Sending it directly to Samsung turned out to be the best option. It was a total of $280, including an upgrade to two day shipping.
I dropped it off at UPS on Friday, it was received on Tuesday, and I got a notice that the repair was completed today (Thursday, Christmas Eve). Even with holiday delays, I should have it early next week.
At that rate, it's about the same price as a year of carrier insurance + deductible.
