i accidentally let my HD fell on the ground one day when i get off my car..
when i picked it up i found that there's a crack on the screen, and the phone won't turn on until i pull out the battery and put it back
initially i thought it would be the damage to the LCD screen, but seeing the boot up screen i see no damage to the LCD, instead feels like there's a protection glass between the touch surface and the LCD screen... which is broken by now
is there any way to get it repaired? i'm living in China and i bought the HD from UK...
I think the part that you are looking for is the touch screen part. Try looking at ebay for some spare parts, maybe you can try to fix it yourself at home.
I am so sorry man. I can really feel you pain.
I would advice you to contact HTC directly and explain them the problem. I am sure they would get back to you with a solution.
Good Luck.

Hmm.. I thought the touchscreen shouldn't be usable if that's the touch screen part..? But it's still usable, just the crack is ugly on such an amazing device...
I don't think with my handwork I should try this myself disassembling my HD.. It would be stupid if I break something

Yeah, I'm trying to, but I don't know which HTC Care Center is the nearest from my place.. Maybe I should try to contact HK HTC Care instead..
Million thanks anyway.
pricey but ebay has what you are looking for

Hmm, thanks mate.
Anyway, I was just wondering, if that glass is just for protection for such a enormous screen (I noticed Diamond don't have that class, you can see some waves on the LCD if you press hard enough; and at the same time mine broken but touchscreen still as sensitive as ever), maybe we can just customize some tempered glass like the iPhone screen and replace the original one?
It's a shame that it's so fragile, with the phone selling such a price. I could buy an LCD TV with the same price..
Any technicians can confirm what does that glass actually exists for?
You need something like this:

Yeah, it's with screen protector.. But I don't think there's any help with just a slice of plastic sticking on the screen..
Anyway, the problem is I dropped it while it's in the stock pouch, screen parallel with the ground... Kinda lying on the ground
I AM SOORY , i spesk very little english and I am so sorry man. I can really feel you pain.
i have same problem with the glass that between the most surface layer and the LCD screen.
what happen with you ? and where ?
glass also broker
My phone screen also cracked but it works fine (both the touch function and the screen as no LCD spillage), the only thing is the hairline cracks on the screen (it seems that there is a glass between the touch screen and the lcd screen - i sent it to service here in Greece and said they need 320 Euros to replace the screen and casing !!
I'm looking for the best alternative solution on EBAY but i'm confused.
Is this what i need?

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?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Touch-Screen-Di...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item4837633bd0
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.

HTC Pure Digitizer or LCD

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
Hi I drop my dell today on the floor and screen its cracked phone was bought about 3 moths ago so its still under warranty in tesco UK and dell ... also I got 1.9.0 streakdroid on it ... heh any ideas folks? did they goin to replace a screen for free?

I did the same the other day, ordered a new screen waiting for it to come. Bargain at £28. I think lying to them to get a new screen is a bit harsh behaviour its your fault you dropped it, and should be your responsibility to fix it at your own cost.
let me know about this screen is worth to buy if u get it , btw gorilla glass should protect the screen ...
what do you mean gorillas glass should protect the screen?
Yes I think its should ... if not so what is it for?
Yeah to a certain extent but its not indistructable, mine dropped from 5 foot onto a tiled floor, and the glass didn't break, just the screen underneath, which is pretty strong IMO.
Hello zinqzinq,
i have already swapped an lcd on my streak. easy to do. I have ordered my lcd also in china and quality was perfect...
some tips:
take attention to ALL cables, special the little cable for the buttons are sensitive.
remove Mainboard before removing lcd.
use a hair dryer to make double sided sticker, what will hold lcd in streak, warm before remove lcd
sure you will know what i mean, sorry for my bad english...
Good Luck
regards
I'm waiting for my replacement screen good tip mate thanks for that

I have a cracked and scuffed touchscreen on my x10 and for $30 on ebay I was going to replace the screen. My concern is that I can get ones from China for half the price of the USA and some say 'Grade A no bubbles' but others do not, are these quality screens from China or will I be diasspointed?
Has anyone had a bad experience replacing their touch screen with the Chinese products? They say OEM but are they from Sony or are they knock offs and is there build quality concerns using the cheap ones?
in my opinoin when it comes to electronics , especially from china, you get what you pay for, id rather pay a little extra knowing that it will be ok
Agreed. With china there's a 99% chance that what you are buying is not OEM. Likely it's very cheaply made.
Yeah I hear ya... that is probably exactly what I would had replied to this post if someone else asked the same question.
I was really hoping someone would tell me that they bought a screen from XXXXX on ebay and it was better then the original but I guess I need to decide if I want cheap or quality.
I've already replaced the phone with an HTC EVO 3D but there is alot of life left in this X10 and it is a great platform for hacking and learning android. Plus they make awesome tiny tablets for around the house.
Thanks for the input.
I got white replacement from china which is quite good.. I won't say its authentic, but here in the UK most replacement dealers get there stuff from china anyway.
Buying from China is like cutting out the middle-man, the down side is just you need to wait.. And if you think they are not what you think your money's worth, you could always tell them you did not receive the item and get your refund.
try to buy from best sellers only...otherwise nothing is guaranteed.

Hello guys, I operate from China is not good, shipping times are very long, why not order from Germany or thereabouts? I ordered this screen protector from Germany and arrived in 3 days, I am very well, without delays or other touch ... Regards, Joseph

Globalshining
Maybe i'm the lucky one, bought one from globalshining on ebay for 20 Euro and thought: well if this aint gonna work, it;s 20 euro's thrown away. But here in my town (germany) they ask 80 Euro for it. After 8 days!!! I received the piece: fitted perfectly but it was at least one hour work to get the overly scratched old one of and the new one on. I did search google for disassembling instructions for the X10 and found one with lots of photo's. Without these instructions, you easily brick your phone.
Regarding GlobalShing: its on ebay, or eshoptradehk dot com I first checked the ebay ratings: then decided to do so..
But do get your own screwdrivers cause the one from China dont fit at all....
Cheers
hey could someone help me with a link?
i just cracked the front screen on my fone and i need to replace it. would like to replace the whole screen and case.
i googled a few, but i was not sure if they included the front screen cos its the front screen thats cracked.
then i also learnt that the touch module is glued to the front glass screen, will the new case screen also have one attached to it or would i have to remove this one and stick it to the new one?

Well I'm still looking for a good replacement. I've done plenty of reading and research but I'm not sure which way to go.
Has anyone done a digitizer swap? What was the end result? Were you happy or did it brick your phone?
Any opinions would be nice to hear.
Thanks.
put a super amoled display from the SGS in it
Hi, I cracked my digitiser VERY badly, so I was forced to replace the digitiser... The LED was slightly scratched because of the drop, but I don't mind, it's hardly noticable. I took the phone apart like 3 times:
1 - taking it apart
2 - power button i forgot to put back
3 - had a little of $h!t under the digitiser

I swapped my digitiser, and so did XDA Recognised Developer for the x10 pvyparts and none of our phones were bricked, it worked perfectly after... Took about 20min to do, I did it during school break because I was bored...
Goodluck!
Better you replace the phone, you don't know the quality that Chinese product
i have tried a couple of different touches an for me so far all of them has been a bit of a dissapointment, the touch works good but the fit is bad. Sensors, proximity particularly, gone bad. sry for really bad eng.
i got my digitizer from ebay china its was pretty good get it with the housing black or white much better then trying to sick the digitizer on the old housing paid around $30 au
i guess at the end of the day all these parts are made in china oem or not
Hey fellas!
I've been using my opx since it came out and I would never pick a different phone, but recently my front glass cracked after falling. The display is fine, but every service I went to tells me they only replace both. Is there a way to replace just the broken glass? Also where could I get a spare one? Is Aliexpress good enough?
TIA
Same thing here mate. You can buy just the screen, but replacing just the screen is very hard. I haven't bought the screen myself so I can't help you with that.
The process will be pretty similar to this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhSAmai8OKk .
I wouldn't recommend trying to repair it yourself.
