My local computer shop owner, who also repairs phones reckons he can do my htc hd2 screen...dropped it ages ago and got loads of cracks covering 3/4 of the screen....works perfect tho.
Not insured etc, so have to pay...but no way am I gonna pay HTC prices.
He said he has done loads of Iphone screens and has a special heating tool there to take the screen off etc.
couple of questions:
1: if he can succesfully replace iphone screens...will it be almost identical with the htc...or is it completely different and he doesn't know what he's letting himself in for, as he never done a htc hd2 screen b4?
2:got a new screen and digitizer off Ebay for £49.00 delivered and he gonna charge me £25.00 to fit it....if he does it and ****s it up...will he then be liable to fix it or get it fixed?
He's a good guy, knows his stuff...but just realllllyyyyy worried about my lil hd2...it's my pride and joy.

just as the thread says, my phone hit the ground and the inside part of the screen cracked (not the surface). What options do i have that wont rape my wallet?
Unless you have the ability to open it and fix it your self or a warranty still in place, I'll say just buy a new phone, though the vibrant is a sexy phone, I doubt you will find it.
This video explains and shows everything, how to do it...

If you visit the store from the people who made the video, you will also find replacement parts...but...from my experience with Iphone repairs, they are totally overpriced...try to google for other shops...or try ebay.
At least you see it is possible...
Ok forget it, obviously Samsung won't sell any AMOLED screens to third parties till 2012, means, the replacement screens you might be able to buy are not really OEM and AMOLED...so be aware...at least thats what I all found out using google.
so my options are thin basically.. this sucks, i mean i could send it to samsung for $161 repair but **** man, i just can't afford the repair right now, been driving me nuts for the last two days
Did you have a case on it? If you're accident prone, an otterbox can save you from most falls as long as that fall isn't screen-first onto a big metal spike.
Yeah, not much you can do about the screen. However, used Vibrants are all over eBay ranging from $250 all the way down to a full working one for $160 from a 100% seller with many many sales (AKA reasonably reliable).
My condolences either way. Breaking the screen is one of my biggest fears.
Sadly my X10 has come to an end. Its been one of the best things I've owned over the past 6 months. But its current state has just made me give up on it
From what was a tiny small crack in the screen has now ended in me getting rid of the phone.
I replaced the digitizer but when doing so scraped off the doublesided glue, so waited another 3 weeks for that to come from overseas.
After finally arriving and damaged the LCD putting it back together. So waited more weeks for that to come. The new LCD is good, I boot the phone to notice the screen goes from 256k colours (looked ****) to normal - almost every time I touch the screen. I investigate to find the replacement digitizers ribbon cable which is attached to the glass has come off. Im putting it down to being faulty as so much care and love was put into putting it back togeather. Im not going to bother ordering a new one.
The last 3 months I've been without it, so its time to move on. Funny enough my girlfriend who hated her x10 since day one (yes we had matching x10's) was given an iphone so I'm taking hers.
As I speak, it sits in front of me in bits and I am seriously over trying to fix it. Its black too.
Dont let your child die
I was thinking of giving it one last go, but I woke up thinking the digitizer cable being broken wouldnt have been causing the bad screen colour. That would have to be LCD related..
So its definately all over with now!
buy a superamoled display from the SGS
oh man, its awful to hear that.
all parts are available if anyones interested
Helo.Sorry for my english but i want to ask, you have all the parts off the phone?My x10 usb is broken and i cant recharge.The motherboard is that im interested.Do you sell it?
Hello.
I wanted to know if you have some spare parts from X10 (Ear Piece Speaker Flex Cable and Keypad Button Flex Cable).
Thank you.
im really interested about the motherboard,you still got it?
Is your phone still up for grabs? Please PM me.
Regards
K
hey.
hey fellow brent I hope everything goes ok with your x10.
I just recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from eBay, the seller stated that the LCD screen was "very dark" and not quite working right. When I received the phone it was far more then "very dark", half of the screen looks as if the LCD is leaking out or has been broken? The digitizer is mint and works and the phone its self is in AMAZING shape. NO scratches or chips or anything. It honestly looks brand new. I even tested the battery for usage and its showing up that this battery IS indeed brand new. Like I said it is mint so there is no possible way this phone was dropped. My first guess was a ROM issue, but I just noticed you can see the screen defect without the phone even being turned on. So what I am thinking is water damage. I read all over online about people having problems with there screens going black, this might also be the case. If it is water damage, does anyone know EXACT locations of indicators on the phone? I looked in the battery compartment and found nothing what so ever. I want to sell this thing today, (just received it in the mail) I need the cash so I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction?? I uploaded photos below, the second one is with the phone turned off, the reflection is from my computer. For reference, it is the Samsung Galaxy SII 19100, with Bell Canada. Thanks in advanced!
I'm no expert but does not look like something you can fix yourself I'm afraid.
Send it back I say.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
send it back to whoever sold it
you kinda got scammed there, imho
See Im trying to figure out if the LCD was broken by physical damage or if this has happened before to people, because if its a manufacturing issue I can just send it back to Samsung and they will fix it no problem as long as this was caused on their part. If it WAS broken by the ebay seller, I might be better off buying a new lcd and installing it myself. I only paid $200CAD so it would be worth keeping if all thats wrong is the LCD. But like I said I would rather Samsung do it, lol its free.

Scratch that, the LCD is almost $200. Not worth buying and fixing. But does anyone know if this could be classified as a manufacturing issue? I can just send it in if it is?
anybody at all?? I just want to confirm that this could be a manufacturing issue, theres no water damage and the screen is not cracked from a drop any ideas would be awesome. I might just try to send it in to Samsung just to see what happens.
I had an atrix given to me today from a friend who got a new one.
The screen looks crystal clear and works fine. The phone has no visible signs of abuse. Everything looks good.
The top 1/3 of the screen just will not respond to touch. I tried a factory reset to see if it was an app conflict and it's still the same.
I downloaded a kid's drawing app to get an idea of what part of the screen was out and EVERYTHING is working except for about the top inch.
Any ideas? Is this hardware or some software flaw in the phone. The person still has insurance until the end of this month and I can pay the 100 to get a replacement.
Sounds like a problem with the digitizer so you might need to replace it. The digitizer is a very common issue with the Atrix and MANY people here have had their phone replaced two or three times simply because some parts of their screen stop responding to touches.
Thanks. Was hoping it was a software issue. But as I said, it was a free phone. Maybe I can sell it as parts on ebay. I don't really want it bad enough to pay the 100 replacement fee.
If I were you, I'd avoid the Atrix because there is no guarantee that it won't happen again even if you replace the digitizer or get a replacement. This phone could be Motorola's worst phone, quality-wise.
you can purchase one on ebay.

I am really afraid of this problem. I hope it doesn't die on me before my contract is finished. Atrix will be my last Motorola phone.
It seems that many people have the experience of phone screen broken. And some people said they have broken the screen more than once. A report said that almost half of the people would buy a new phone when the old one cracked. And 30%, who most of then use the high-end handsets like Apple and Samsung would try to replace the screen at a high price. The others are indifferent to the phone although the phone cannot work perfectly.
Well, I think if you want to save money in replacing the phone screen, buy the phone parts and fix it buy yourself is another great way. What do you do if your phone is broken?
New Phone
This would be the best reason to say parents to buy me a new phone However, if the phone was new and my favorite, would surely give it to repair in the showroom. But that hurts
Replace it!
Last time I dropped my HTC one VX and have my phone screen broken. I took it to the maintenance station to replace the LCD screen, but they ask for $150. I said I might as well to buy a new one. When I back home, my colleague told me that he can repair it for me. At last he helped me to fix it up. It seems not difficult and just to repair the phone. And it only cost me about $30 to buy the HTC LCD screen. I have to remind myself that don’t break my phone any more.

Yes, sometimes repairing the phone will cost a lot.
