I came across this site tonight - Take Apart Guide (video) that walks through disassembly, as well as a source for replacement parts for those who want to do their own work on the device:

Hi,
I have a Sprint Touch Pro2, recently it has been dropped and a little rock pushed the digitizer in,
I would like to know, those that own one, do you suggest replacing just the digitizer, or the screen as well? I read that it was very difficult to replace, if anyone can point me to the right thread that describes, or has a 'HOW TO'!
I am not an ignorant user, i did my research, but before i go ahead and take my phone apart, a confirmation would be helpful!
Thank you all!

There's a "how to" down the screen in that link...looks like I'd better hope I never break the digitizer...

Know you did your homework, so did some us at times and these are the greatest aids I've come across in the endless Google searchs (lol), you'll get er done if nothing else understand it's not any good the way it is without a try - Go For It!! Can always send it in after the champion try, right???
PS, do both at the same time why do one without the other anyway???? You're already in there!!!
As we know, we've got a teardown of the E3D, and we have various forms of information that we're working off of for perm root. One thing that I've been unable to locate is the FCC schematic that was pulled a few days after posting. One reference to it is here: http://www.wirelessgoodness.com/2011/06/02/htc-evo-3d-hits-the-fcc-with-full-schematics-in-tow/
If anyone grabbed this, and still has a copy, or can dig one up somehow, that would be much appreciated. A good layout of the board would be incredibly helpful in breaking down the way the various pieces interact.
NOTE: there's a reference to the FCC documentation in the link. The Schematic is no longer on that list, as it's been yanked by the FCC shortly after it was posted.

That's one of the pages. Appreciate it, but I was looking for the full document.
I did reach out to t2 from wirelessgoodness.com (the site mentioned above) and he just sent it to me. Here it is for those that run across this thread in their own search. Credit goes to wirelessgoodness.com, t2 came through and had it saved, visit the blog to thank him (link above).

Hello, looking for a broken/borked/dead HTC One to attempt a different disassembly method to try to help the One community.
It is my understanding that they are glued together, not screwed, and that the suction cup method does not work. I used to retrofit headlights that also used glues, some heat glues, some needed a solvent. I have a lot of technical skill, and i would like to try my hand at popping one apart WITHOUT destroying the case/screen. I dont care if its water damaged, cracked screen, whatever, as long as its intact.
Posted this in all HTC One sections, please PM me if you have one or know of one, i'll pay shipping to and fro (i will NOT attempt repairs, JUST non-destructive disassembly) and post the results and a video on youtube if successful, and ship the unit back disassembled if successful, and not damaged further if not successful.
Please PM if interested or if you have any heads up to exchange contact information.
Thank you,
Slade8525
Goodluck.

this might alittle hard to come by considering it is still a pretty new phone and if anyone had problems they more then likely exchanged it for a working model..good luck though!
i can wait. someone is bound to break one.
Hey
I have a Xiaomi Mi 3 , I bought it from Flipkart around 6 months back, I recently broke its screen. The digitizer I think , LCD is working fine the botton 15% of the touch is not working and neither are touch buttons (Home, Back, Menu) . I went to the service center here in Gujarat they told me that it would cost me Rs 6800 (110$) and I would have to wait for 2 months which is not feasible . So I decided to take matters in my hands. I started searching online and found out that the screen is available on websites like Aliexpress.com Dragon-TT.com ebay.in etc priced anywhere between 28-90$ , that confused the hell out of me . Every link claimed it to be 100% original some even said 1000% original , anyways after searching around for a while I decided to purchase one from ebay.in for 2800rs (42$) , the entire assembly Digitizer+LCD+Frame so I guess it should be easy to replace as the process won't require any heat-gun or glue (which I am really scared of ).
Now I want help regarding following three concerns.
1. So now the concern is warranty , is their any way I could open the device replace the screen and still have my warranty , it is just a sticker after-all over a screw. Please guys if anyone of you can help me out I am really paranoid about this operation I need to perform but there is no way around it.
2. The product that I am ordering is from ebay.in for 2899(with tempered glass, google it I cant paste the link) . Anyone here who can shed any light on this , what do you suggest, is this cool? Original? New? I have talked to the seller it seems genuine (In Delhi sense )
3. Lastly and most importantly " Should I Do this " I mean I have read the theory , I have seen the videos but I ask to those you have embarked on this journey themselves ;Is it feasible ? and I welcome any words of wisdom from the veterans of this field.
So answer regarding
1. Warranty
2. Item
3. Advice/Experience
Reply ASAP
Maybe i ask dumb questions, because no one seems to respond to any of my posts on xda, (maybe im not cool because i don't physically design cell phone software-hehe) but ive googled this a lot and haven't found a solid android hardware repair forum or at least one that suites my needs/or one that i like. I don't really care for IFixit fyi.
Long story short ive been a hardware guy forever. Computers phones. thousands of computer and laptop even motherboard refurbs. Last two years done hundreds of digitizer/glass/logic board repairs on all sorts of mobile devices , i learned through trial and error and Youtube Vids.
I was given a Verizon s4 w/cracked screen (never worked on an s4, but have done plenty S5/S3/S2 + Iphone) from a guy at work.
I get all power lights w/no sound, and the guy that gave it to me knows nothing technical, and said the screen was "bleeding" but i got it home and i see no signs of life whatsoever from the lcd, but it does appear to boot and power properly
I ordered and installed the whole new digitizer assembly, from what i now know to be a nonreputable ebay source,and the digitizer came alive but didnt respond to touch-i returned it. I need to (hopefully) rule out a logic board problem somehow.
Can someone point me in the direction of a reputable forum for mobile hardware repair??? (besides ifixit or gsm)
