Help!! Need a replacement screen for my BA anybody have a spare or know where to get a replacement screen for a reasonable price.Not sure how I broke it but there is a crack down the center of the screen and now it w'ont work.
I am really sorry for you. I cracked my iPAQ screen a while ago and found a replacement at ipaqrepair.co.uk....but I guess they are only for iPAQs
I know how you must feel
Thanks will check it out anyway and yes totally gutted I use the BA for everything like having my right arm cut off ,
Have noticed that it is only the glass that is cracked it is not bleeding at all and i think that the digitizer is only mlfunctioning because of the crack is it possible just to replace the glass panel and not the lcd display?
Try calling HTC Europe at 08712-23-0217. Leave a message and they will call you back in a day time. Just tell them your problem and see how much would they charge for it. I've got my under warranty HTC Charmer to them TWICE for some speaker/motherboard problem, and so far so good. Their service is better than I expect from a Taiwan company.

Yes it is, there are 2 distinct types of digitiser though, the sony and the toppolly one. There is another poster selling just a digitiser, I went into more detail in that thread. HTCEurope a: won't repair and XDA IIs and b: won't swop just the digitiser, they swop the entire LCM assembly.

Just been quoted £125 to repair the screen by a company called Apex, trouble is the phone only cost me £150 in my book thats beyond econmical repair if it was a car it would be a write off.I think it will have to be an insurance job (get a free one with bank account) unless someone comes up with a reasonable price on a used one.

The sony one he has can be 'widenend' to fit any LCD so it doesn't matter what's in your phone - just remove the warranty seal completley - the odds are they won't repair your handset they'd just replace anyway if you claim on insurance as they would have to use new parts - no trawling ebay for them to fix your phone....
Richard
Well guys sent my BA off to the insurance company and had a phone call today said they could not repair or replace it, and then THEY DESTROYED MY PHONE and then they said they can give me a cash settlement or the choice of Nokia n91 or the n90 what do you guys think, what should I go for? and more to the point how much would the cash settlement be as you can no longer get the blue angel anymore new that is.
Anybody been in this situation would not mind the n91 but it is not satnav capable at the moment and I need this capability.
Check the prices on somewhere like expansys, get the more expensive, flog it on ebay, buy a 2nd hand blueangel.
I sold a boxed MDA III for just £100 on there the other week :-(
PM me and I might be able to help if you need it sourcing one.
Can't fix it my @$$.....muppets.
They should not have destroyed your phone and infomed you after the event IMO.
EDIT - IIRC expansys do still have the [email protected] £600. Ask them for a cheque!!!!!... :twisted:
Richard
Yes was surprised they did not ask me first but oh well still have the mini s just like having the bigger screen for sat nav loooking t expansys think your right I'll go for the money.
Update insurance have coughed up £450 not bad considering I only got it for £150 :lol: :lol:
Well last night was a good night. Playing pool, using msn and sending a few texts when... the shiny new HD went waltzing out of the palm of my hand and then... WHACK... right onto the edge of a table eek denting and chipping the damn front housing. Not ammused one bit
So my question for you boys and girls is... a front cover for the old Touch HD. Does anyone know where to get one from please?
Tried several chaps in Hong Kong via ebay but no joy.
Guessing the answer to this would come in pretty useful to more than just myself who has suffered this kind of cruel fate

Housing+chasis+cover
hello
you can buy from me for completely at $150
HTC TOUCH HD T8282 BLACKSTONE HOUSING+CHASIS+COVER
regard
anyone in the UK selling these please? thanks
and that priceabove is quite high! you can get the cover and digitiser for $10 more on ebay.
Saw a complete housing @ brando for $ 79.50, so it's far cheaper than ugn53's.
Shipment seems cheap also.
BTW, never bought from brando, so I have no experience with them.
I've bought Screen protectors from Brando in the past. Their website is trustworthy.
Sorry to hear about your predicament. Hope it works out. (I'd die if the same happened to my HD !)
This is why i insure my phones... i pay nothing luckly due to my contract but 6 quid for others and it covers accidental damage and loss. I have used in on my old phones (Kaiser and Hermes ETC) i have a 15 quid excess....
Insurance???
I have Orange Care to but... how can you wangle it so i can get one on insurance for something like this? Surely you'd have to tell a porkie somewhere along the lines, wouldn't you?
Nice but not quite right...

Sadly mate, if you look at the contents of that package, it says nothing about a FRONT cover... have a look.......
Features
Replacement housing for your HTC Touch HD.
Package Contents
One middle chassis
One back cover
One battery cover
Nice effort though!
Sorry for you mishaps but at least it didn't hit your screen...
Insurance...
... so that was a decent idea. If anyone fancies doing what i did should they get into this situation, i just rang orange SIM upgrades, registered my new SIM, waited 10 mins and then rang through to Orange insurance.
Told them i simply copied my contacts over and upon switching SIM's back while i waited for my new one to be activated, the brand new HD, due to being very shiny and a little bit slippery (weell thay are a bit, aren't they!) wen right through my hand and hit my desk leaving a very nasty dent with a rough edge.
£15 quid later, a new one is out to me between 9 and 1pm tomorrow
Happy days are here again! lol
*THINK* Now, should i stick the Orange ROM back in it?! LOL

No need. Told em i did the sim swap as they told me to for insurance purposes and it fell out of my hand due to being shiny and handed on the edge of my desk. That's the truth... almost! Cost me 15 quid but hey, i was in credit anyway so no biggie!!!
me sits in teh corner and cries - little un decided it would be fun to scrape my phone face down across a stone fireplace - no insurance = unhappy zoomee.
Balck Stone Service Manual
Hi
i am facing a similar problem mate , my HD slipped out of my hand and bang hit the asphalt in the street , the bottom part of the front cover got a nasty dents.
I went to HTC care center in Dubai and they confirmed i cant replace the frame alone , i have to replace the whole LCD . Check page 88 of the service manual.
The cost of replacing it would be 234.128 USD (860 AED).
i wont pay that for a dent , at least for the time being , the device is fully functional.

I'm curious, was it actually a new handset?
Because Orange tend to just give out refurbs.
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.

Best option...Ebay>buy broken (software wise) TP2>use if for spare parts
hmmm the only cheap one I could find listed was also worn...
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.

Sorry man, but lern2internet. It's the first 4 hits on ebay. Just enter "htc touch pro 2 housing" and check 'worldwide'.

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.
Can use HTC TP2 housing on T-Mobile TP2?

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.
Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8580850#post8580850
Hi Everyone,
I hope I'm not breaking any rules by doing this and if I am Mods PLEASE delete.
I have a Used T-mobile TP2 Screen and Digi. that came from my old TP2 its in good working order with no dead pixels the digi. does have some scratches but nothing crazy.
I'm asking $25USD for them both.
Please PM me if interested.
Thanks for checking this out
Also have the mother board it has the camera and chips on it but I don't think its reusable as a whole
I will throw that in also
think you would sell the flex ribbon cable by itself?
btw, what model TP2 is it?
and i think something like this should have gone to the marketplace fourm.
Hi SeaWeed89,
Just sent you a PM. Please check it out.
Hey LILCHIC
I don't have the ribbon and cracked the mother board so tossed it.
I did want to mention that the $25 was with shipping in the US with a flat rate box.
but I will come down on price to $18 incl. shipping cause the digi. is a bit marked up and I don't want to charge for it so the $18 is for the screen shipped basically.
Thanks for your time.
dang, well that sucks.
the ribbon cable was what i needed to bring my TP2 back to life.
Yeah that does suck. I didn't think anyone used these phones still, I thought I was the last person with one. So when I received my HD2 I took the TP2 apart faster than one could blink. I'm sorry about that, I wish you luck on your journey to finding one.
Thanks for your time
Have a good day
haha, no plenty of people still use one. besides i really wanna use my TP2 again cause im stuck with the g1 now because of that ribbon cable. but its alittle hard to find it since i usually find it for other versions of the TP2 and not the tmo version
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.
