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?

What are the chances for getting an original HTC at ebay?
Did anybody do this replacement with success?
Cheers
No one?
check this out too!!!
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:

Now it works like before.

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!

Every single post of yours is a website promotion.
Chill.
Out.
Seriously.
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
How does one go about removing them? I've done a google and XDA-Forums search and found that there are numerous answers all seemingly discounted by any number of people:
toothpaste, no good for capacitive screens
Displex sure, THEY say it's good for the TP2, but so many people say not
So, anyone have any ideas.
And, yes, I know, screenguards are great and the holy grail. I don't have one. So, please, I know I am asking for a cause that I probably could have prevented, but every time I put a screenguard on my device, it was much too mushy and I tried a lot of them.
Thanks in advance.
I would also like to know how to remove the scratches on the screen. The screen guards make the touch screen less sensative. Theres got to be some type of wax or something.
I've used the screen guard that came with my TP2 since day one. My screen is still pretty darn sensitive....
I have skinomi on my tp2 and although it takes alot of patience to put it works flawlessly...ive tried scratching it with keys and the thing just wont scratch!! its awesome..its a bit on the expensive side if you get the entire skin for the phone like i did but its worth the money in my opinion.
go to skinomi.com
I guess T-Cut might work, i used it on my dads samsung and it cleared up the screen some.
When i was a kid we used to wear swatch watches which always got scratched up, we used to use Duraglit made by Brasso which is a metal polish wadding...kinda like cotton wool with a light abrasive in it, which worked wonders!
Something with very light abrasive properties(like toothpaste) should do it but watch out for any solvents and chemicals in the product that may react with or even MELT the plastic!!!!!
most things like T-Cut scratch remover just take a lot of time and patience.
I anything works for you re-post and let us know!
Actually Displex tells you not to use its product on resistive touch-screens.
Anyway, I just ordered iDrops about a week ago and have been trying it for the last day with no results, at all. I've tried variable amounts of pressure, dozens of applications as the instructions say and I've only hurt my phone. All it does it put a strange texture on your phone that makes it grainy and more susceptible to scratches. Even my stylus scratches the phone, now! I had to use a wet cloth to get the graininess away.
My recommendation is not to bother with iDrops. It seems to not work for the TP2.
Hmm, its just an idea but I've been repairing my windscreen today using special resin that cures in direct sunlight. I must say it works pretty well, it's hard to notice the repair. I would try t-cut or other mild abbrasive to get rid of light scratches and fill really bad ones with that resin. Next comes a good screen protector to hide any imperfections.
thanks, but WHAT website

I see your post, yet, I have no idea what website to which you refer. Nevermind, didn't realize it was in your header.
Why do you not send instructions with the order? IF you're selling replacement parts why then must a customer have to contact you for replacement instructions?
He is just advertising himself. Just find the best price on buy it, you can find the HTC service manual on google.
Not disputing that fact

Just questioning that if they sell the parts, why must the instructions be emailed separately?
Bumping because I need the same thing resolved...
Questions:
1) Anyone know a good, semi-reputable site to replace the front screen.
2) Is the front plastic considered part of the LCD Screen, or do they come apart separate? (The scratch on my phone is purely on the outer-most section of the screen, with no damage to the image display) -- I ask as some phones i've seen have an "LCD Display" followed by a "Cover Screen")
3) Regardless of #2's answer, what am I looking to buy (The technical/semi-technical name)? Closest I've seen is LCD Digitizer, but I'm not sure if i need that component or the LCD Screen.... cover.... portion..
Unfortunately the part i saw was $124, and I happen to have insurance on the phone if it does indeed get that expensive, but I just hope the parts are separate ;-)
Thanks,

I am nearly positive you do not need to replace the LCD. You only need a new digitizer (that is the name of the layer that recognizes touch) which you can find for around $25 online!

Correct me if I'm wrong but changing this digitizer would void warranty if I were to change it myself ? ?
Go to At&t and see if they will replace it for you if you buy the digitizer. If not ask At&t or find a reputable place that does, ive seen for around $50 which was suggested to me by at&t. It's worth the money trust me! When I had my old LG Incite, I tried replacing the digitizer because my screen was scratched and ended up breaking the lock and camera buttons as well as the touch screen. Since then every phone i've had gets a case and screen protector from the day I lay eyes on it. If the case and screen protector are their after I get my phone I wont use it till their on. Scratches just annoy me but I guess i'm just odd lol.
Hi all
I dont know if its my Display that is broken or the plastik that is on it.
Can someone please help me with that ?
Thanks for the Help
as far as I know plastic doesn't really break. I'm not sure, but I'd say the glass of the LCD is broken.
your display is broken.
there is a guide of how to change it, but its quite complicated.
if you don't have insurance it will be probably cheaper to buy an HD2 on internet....

It's true, LCD's are quite expensive, if you can, go for HD2 or similiar.
Does the display light or shows any image?
100% the touchscreen is broke (it is made out of 3 layers, 2 plastic layers and one glass layer which is about 1 mm thick- this one breaks). Also, the lcd underneath might also be broken, as in your photos I'm seeing some tiny black lines under the touchscreen, correct me if I'm wrong.
On ebay, the cheapest pre-assembled lcd+touch unit costs about 70 $.
you should find pre assambled screen and lcd, easier to install
there are guide on vimeo on how to diassemble and reassemble Touch HD, make sure
u only play around with what suggested, not anything else..
good luck
Accidently stepped on my tablet and now the screen is cracked on the corner. Where can I find a screen replacement and is there a replacement tutorial?
Did you buy the tablet with a credit card? Some cards offer insurance for accidents like yours. You might qualify for a replacement.

And he could not find a replacement screen. I guess that you should contact Viewsonic tech support to see what can they do or how much would they charge you?

i paid with my debit card. (I dont think my debit card gives me those protections)
@tyy10002 thanks for the link
If you cant find one anywhere else i would try a local glass store. A lot can cut to dimensions and maybe they couldd make one to custom fit our screens?

does you debit card have a visa or mc logo on it? (most do these days) If so you have the option of using it as a credit card or atm card even though both will withdraw funds from your bank account and to you it looks the same the two transactions are different. long tory short if you entered a pin at the pos then you're right you probably don't have those protections (I'd still check with your bank) but if you just swiped it and signed like you would with any other card than you should be covered.
I have a Cracked Glass Too!
I have a cracked glass on my GTablet as well. I ordered a replacement LCD screen B101AW06 V.1 10.1" WSVGA GLOSSY LCD SCREEN LED GLOSSY
and found out that I really don't need it now because the actual glass covering the LCD was the issue. So if anyone needs one, I will sell it to you what I paid $50 plus the shipping to you.
After talking to Viewsonic GTab Support, they basically don't have replacement parts that you can order from them. The only way they suggested it could be repaired was if I purchased it new like that damaged in the box, they would replace it. Or, I would have to find a glass company that could possibly make me one. I asked to speak with someone in mgmt and was promised that he would call me back within 48hrs with a real solution, but I haven't heard from anyone yet. So it appears that I am stuck until someone can give me a replacment glass screen solution.
Anyone out there have a better solution to my issue?
I sympathize with you but I think you are doing it wrong...

Shouldn't be to hard to figure out.
I have a similar problem... accidentally lost my grip, and now there's a crack radiating out from around where the camera is located. Thankfully most of the cracking over the LCD screen consists of large pieces, rather than tiny fragments that would tend to fall out.
Does anyone know if it's practical to try some sort of resin designed to infiltrate glass cracks?
I don't care about a perfect solution, but at least something to diminish the appearance of the cracks and make it less likely for the glass fragments to fall out would be great.

Hi
I have HTC Touch Pro 2 and today I broke its screen, it have 3 cracks on it now but strange touch screen is completely working without any problems. I also had screen protector on.
Now what do I have to do? Do I have to replace complete screen or I think I will just need to replace the screen digitizer?
Please guide so I can order it from ebay or if you could recommend any store from where I can buy quality products.
Thanks
Yep, been there done that. You have broken the digitizer glass most likely. I suggest that you get a LCD&Digitizer replacement from ebay like this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Digitiz...172?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c62be3b24
Do some shopping around I only paid ~$12 for my replacement.
Learn from my mistakes and get the set. It is next to impossible to separate the lcd and digitizer. You can usually swap around the various kinds of lcds too. On my sprint tp2 I installed a at&t tilt screen with no issues.
It is not to bad of a job to replace, but the first time is a little nerve racking as you have to do a total tear down. There are videos on the tear down around online. If you live near Seattle WA, I can give you a hand.

Hi
Thanks, thats what I thought too, so your personal experience says its impossible to separate LCD and digitizer.. thats too sad as it can save me some money but I wonder why they are selling so many digitizers alone all over internet, and that is just for $8 to $10 with delivery.....
So finally you replaced both LCD+Digitizer or you were you able to replace just the digitizer?
and I live in Pakistan so I could only use help here or on any IM
Impossible, no. You will go through probably a dozen before you get to a point where you could separate them 50-75% of the time successfully. You will spend way less money if you get a screen set, or a phone with a bad board/esn number to pull parts from. There is an adhesive between the lcd and the digitizer (usually along the edge). The lcd does not have a protective glass layer, and it is sooooo easy to pull the lcd coating right off the lcd base it is not funny. You could tear apart the one you have as a free learning experience. It is not going to cost you anything but your time.
Saw this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYqNlM68_as
Well if its just that then its a piece of cake for me too, Im a technical person.... So what Im going todo is to open my mobile first before ordering and try to separate the digitizer from the screen and if I was successful then I will just order the digitizer and if I was not then I will order a complete screen set like the one you mentioned in your link.
