Can someone help me find a replacement Digitizer?
I bought my phone off of eBay a while back and it had scratches on the screen, now I want a new screen. I thought about getting one from eBay, but someone told me that those were cheaply made and came from China. And that if I tried replacing one myself It could maybe not work correctly or I could get some particles in between the screens.
Is there a place that I can get it repaired?
Also my phone won't charge anymore unless I put it in a certain position...
i got mine from ebay recently. well, i got it for T7373 international version tp2 instead.
what i would advise is, avoid from getting those cheap digitizer. they work sucks with finger. now i only able to use my tp2 with either stylus or fingernail which is seriously terrible.
and i changed it all myself. weirdly is, the digitizer need some glue to glue it to the tp2. a bad experience i had anyway.
sending my set back to my distributor for cleaning up mess soon.
I bought a replacement verizon digitizer last week
https www dot gounlock dot com
Paid $22.00 plus $10 to ship
I can't find any info on this, but it looks like it could be tricky to replace. I cracked my glass by dropping it onto stone, still works OK. You can pick up digitisers pretty cheap on ebay (£20 UK) but does anyone know how to replace? I read that they can be glued to the LCD?
Thanks
Google for the fixit website, if someone has done it there will be a tutorial, or you could follow the guide on here to upgrade your sd card....only because you have to take the phone fully apart. You need to check if the lcd is glued or like the iphone 4 resin. If they are a sealed unit you'd be better off getting the lcd/digitizer combo on ebay. trying to separate an lcd from the digitizer is asking for trouble imho.
I have ordered a digitiser, really hope the digitiser is not glued to the LCD, there is a big price difference. I'll let you know how I get on.
I bought a Mozart with wrecked digitizer and also want to repair it. The digitizer is on its way, so in a week i could tell you how difficult or maybe easy it is.
If you are faster, please post your experience.
I found this thread on xda.cn, and it seems that the lcd isnt glued on the digitizer, so lets hope so

EDIT: sorry cantpost links, so must change the x's to t's and w's
I have got my digitiser now, looks brand new. Just need to find the time to replace, might upgrade the SD card at the same time.
Done
I did this with Andy's guide to help: http://lifeinthefastlaneok.wordpres...-7-mozart-sd-card-memory-upgrade/#comment-225
I used this guide to replace my digitiser (the glass) which I smashed. The good news is that the digitiser is not stuck to the LCD at all. I just bought a grade A digitiser off ebay for £20 which was pretty much perfect - glass was perfect with a couple of small marks on the back case, but basically like new.
There were a couple of differences to this guide:
- Had to replace a speaker type thing at the top of the digitiser that was not present on the new one. Came off quite easily, just stuck in.
- Had to remove the USB port of the old case back (if you are replacing that too) but that was just a couple of screws
- You dont have to split the PCB off if doing this, you just take off the black clips to take it apart and then remove the orange ribbon cable, it is a little tricky to get the new one in but OK.
I now have a phone as good as new, I didn't replace the SD at the same time but probably will do at some point when I can stand loosing all my data.
Found time today to replace the digitizer. I also used Andy's videos for instruction. And it's really not that hard. Pretty easy for someones first mobile phone repair.
Well done, I would add for anyone else needing to do this, be very careful not to touch the inside of the digitiser or the LCD when you have it apart! Also have a glasses cloth handy for removing any dust particles just before you put it back together.
I do have one strange thing however - before I had intermittent issues where I could not slide the screen up when locked for 10 seconds or so. No I have a slightly different issue when unlocking - it doesn't always let me press on the right hand 3 numbers on the PIN screen! So it seems the unlocking issue some people have is due to a hardware issue. My digitiser was second hand so I might ask for a replacement, but I can change my pin so that it is not an issue.
My Mozart touch-screen hardly works at all plus my wife's Mozart has a cracked digitizer glass (still working fine).
So silly me I took the plunge and ordered three cheap replacement digitizers via eBay (from Hong Hong). They arrived today and all are s**t useless.
When I opened the box I smelt the rat when I spied the HTC logo on each was blanked out on the outside of the plastic zip-lock bags (with what looked like black felt pen), plus each glass has minor blemishes/scratches. Comparing each with the digitizers I removed from my and my wife's phones, they have a different design of ribbon cable conductor layout plus there are indications the plastic moulding isn't as well finished in a couple of places. Either these are factory rejects or knock-off copies. Lesson learnt :-(
Anyway, I now need to buy genuine HTC parts.
Any pointers toward reliable sources appreciated, thanks.

I have bought some off ebay. The problem is that these are almost always from returned Mozart's which may well have been returned due to non responsive screens, which seems to be a very common problem.
I have had 2 off the same chap now, one is OK but not perfect, the other one didnt work at all.
I would just keep returning them until you get one that works.
Sometimes you will find new combined digitiser/LCD's on ebay too, these would be a better bet but cost more.
Can someone who as changed a screen on this phone using Andys guide, please tell me how easy or hard it was, and how long does it take??
And would be grateful if someone could give me a link to the correct digitizer for this phone....
I am in the UK and have been qouted 50 pounds at a phone shop for the to supply and fit screen...
Did you see my post?

The most tricky thing for me was getting all the dust off the LCD and the digitsier, as soon as you get it apart things start sticking to it like crazy. Have a clean glasses cloth around.
It takes about an hour on your first go. The main thing is to get the orange ribbon cablle in fully, it can be tricky - you need to get a good grip on it (fold it a little) and push it home quite hard, otherwise you get it all back together and find it doesn't work.
I have had 2 dodgy screens off ebay, £50 sounds OK if it is a brand new original HTC screen.
Or just search for 'htc mozart digitiser' on ebayt there are loads.

Thank you for that. A close look at the ones I bought from china I'm sure now are removed from phones with faulty digitizers, then repackaged as new. One of the three had significant dust and dirt on the inside of the digitiser screen. I've requested a refund via PalPal disputes.
I've ordered some digitizers from ecell in the UK. I'm led to believe by them that these are genuine HTC factory supplied spares.

I just replaced my 4th screen (1 broke, 2 dodgy).
This one is perfect - as new condition and works perfectly, my last one was not responsive in some situations e.g. lock screen.
This is the one I got (UK)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130498971267?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Of course, your mileage may vary - some are probably good, some not. Replace it, if it doesn't work ask for another, etc.
My new digitizers arrived today from the uk. Horray they are genuine HTC spare parts properly packaged. The downside is they don't include the frame the glass sit in and is adhered to.
So I watched the official HTC Mozart disassembly video on youtube to see how to remove the existing digitizer glass from the frame - got it apart ok after heating the unit to soften the adhesives but it didn't come away entirely cleanly i.e some of the adhesive foam broke away and was left on the underside of the glass.
So... check on eBay and found sellers selling refurbished screen frames ready for a new glass to be attached.
Will update on progress once they arrive.

just ordered my digitiser today... wish me luck...lol

Well I am now buzzing... have just changed my screen at it works perfect.....
£50 they wanted at the shop...it cost me £13....
Just to let you know how easy this is to do........If I can do it, anyone can..
Did anyone find a reliable supply in the end? I just cracked my digitiser so looking to replace it...
--edit--
Also, how much have others paid? Don't want to be ripped off for some sub-standard part.
Hello everybody,
I m trying to replace the digitiser of a HTC Mozart too.
It is really easy to do, even the part where you have to take off the digitiser from the plastic frame.
But I have an issue, it is the second digitiser I am using ( from the same ebay shop ) and the digitiser is working inverted vertically! Really strange but it is like that.
As the mobile phone is started up, when I push on a left buton, it push on a right button ! On the key board, when I press on "P" it press on "A" ( i m using an Azerty layout, I assume it should be "Q" on your layout ).
It is really anyoing of course.
It is the second screen I received from the Ebay shop and same issue, I don't think the problem come from my side, but I just want to ask to you all if somebody have an idea or the same issue once.

Mate, I had the same problem. However it seems no one was able to help me either.
I also purchased a digitizer from Ebay for my Mozart - the exact same inverted issue occurred with me. I wasn't able to find a solution.
I'm in Australia with a T8697 model. The digitizer I received from Ebay had a circle around the windows button at the bottom - This was not on my original screen.
In the end, I purchased a digitizer from an Australian business. Cost double the Ebay digitizer did, so I hope it works... Haven't received it yet, but I'll let you know when I put it in.
What model Mozart do you own?
Hello,
I left a Nano sim adapter inside of sim tray and it is now stuck inside. I have tried to remove tray by myself , but i am afraid of breaking it.It pops up a little bit, but this is it. I have watched DYI videos on youtube, but unfortunately , neither one shows how to dissemble sim tray. I would like to know if somebody knows how to fix it or where I can bring it for repair. I live in Boston. but i just found third party repair shops. I do not know if Nokia has an official repair center nearby.
Thanks

Been there done that. Well i pulled it out and broke all the pins. Took it too nokia they asked for half the phones price to fix it, so i went onto ebay got an oem flex cable assemble and changed it myself total cost 45dollors.
If you havent pulled it out you can try cutting a thin peace of plastic slip it in side so that the pins get raised just a bit so that it will release the sim tray.
This is actually Apples Fault because if they used sims that every one uses i would have to put adapters into my other phones so fu Apple.

I went through the some You tube video, DO I need conductive tape also?
Anyone successfully repplaced the glass back on their Z2? My original cracked (just sitting in the car - wasn't dropped!)
Order a new one from ebay, fitted it but it did not stick down very securely and cracked after an hour. A replacement was sent and again this didn;t stick down very securely and cracked after day.
So where can I get a high quality back cover in the UK?
thanks
happened to me also......it won't stick unless you get it done from an authorized service center.....
The Solution:-
use super strong glue (i used fevikwik), take a pin and pour drops on the edges of the glass back and stick it....secure it in place with some clips for 15-20 mins.

Thanks, Yeah, that is next to try. I'm going to order this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-S...712051?hash=item234f628533:g:gfkAAOSwcwhVNPRn
and stick it down with some adhesive.
I am very tired of replacing the xperia z2 back door ordered from ebay. I ordered more than 3 glasses and everything has its own fault. Most of the glasses mismatch with the flashlight hole resulting in glare in the photos when flash ON. And the glue too is very week. I finally used flexiqwik because you can easily remove the glue for any hardware replacement. I need a original glass. Can somebody tell where can in get it.
Note : My original back door glass broke when my z2 accidentaly fall from my house top. I got a new glass door from replacebase.co.uk website in UK. But it too is a duplicate. Then i started to buy from ebay where all are duplicates or faulty. Finally i left my z2 without backdoors.
In my country (Thailand), I brought Genuine Backdoor from Service Center and replace by my own. but It's so expensive (1080 THB = 30.4 US Dollar). It have adhesive and new NFC. I don't know about privacy in other country. I think you should ask to Service Center in your country.
In Vietnam, we send our phone to Sony Service Center. They will fix it and call us when finish.

I bought an unlocked Nokia 7.1 a few days ago and sadly dropped the device two days later, cracking the rear glass panel. I didn't buy an extended warranty either and the standard one obviously doesn't cover accidental drops. Anyway, I'm going to replace the rear panel but I can't seem to locate a replacement part anywhere online despite searching for hours.
Can someone tell me where I might be able to buy this part? FYI, I've already looked on Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress, DHgate, banggood, etc. and haven't found anything other than this scammy looking website: https://www.maxbhi.com/back-panel-cover-for-nokia-7.1-blue.html
I dropped mine too
Did you find a genuine dealer after that ??
