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!

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
Guys,
Today I dropped my DX (so much to say about Friday the 13th...)
You can see it in the attached picture. I just wanted to ask, will the following replacement work:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/HTC-Desire-X...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item20d2dca972
Thank you in advance!
Few weeks ago, I dropped my DX too, although damage was less. I read about digitizer replacement on HTC devices (in general) and I read it's not that easy as on Samsung devices. One guy tried to replace digitizer and he ended up with broken LCD panel. You can also buy whole module (LCD screen + digitizer) but it's like a roll of a dice - you can get good lcd and you can get bad lcd too. It's a risk. You can send it to local repair centre. I was told it would cost about 100-120€. From then, I knew, I have to live with that broken screen. lol
Found something different:
http://www.parts4repair.com/complete-screen-assembly-with-lgp-for-htc-desire-x-t328e/
Does anybody have experience with that shop? The price is ok, I would even order a new back cover there (because mine is a bit broken, too).
Hard to replace
I've tried to replace the touch screen (only the glass). In eBay it's about 25$ or something like that.
It hard, very hard to replace. I've ended with a broken LCD, because when try to separate the glass from LCD, LCD broke.
For me, it's better to replace the whole screen, not only the glass. I've seen it for 51$ in eBay, but worth it.
Video on how to replace (as you can see, you need a dryer, and big ball, because phone gets VERY hot, and you're the whole time thinking you're going to melt it
.you*tube*.co*m/*watch?v=hzRsLDahWVg
I won't try to replace only the glass, because my lcd is already broken. So I'll replace whole display unit (see link above for shopping details). Video on how to replace just the whole screen assembly can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzRsLDahWVg
Good news guys... My package arrived in Germany, so soon I will be able to replace my screen and get my DX working again...

Did you remove the digitizer from the lcd? If yes, I actually don't know what to do; but I used a complete assembly of lcd and digitizer as replacement. It's sticking at the four corners, at least for me.
Its is sticking but slight gap near the ui keys .....
I think there is dust between the screen and the digitizer

Okay, so my Terminator...errr, my son, managed to crack the heck out of his Nabi 2 digitizer screen. The LCD screen is fine and he can still use the Nabi, but I've noticed more and more cracks so I'm sure it's bound to break the LCD.
So, I went on eBay and ordered a piece of glass, but I'm not thinking it's not going to work. It was only like 13 bucks. I had a model number given to me after the fact (at070tn90), and I just looked and I didn't get that one. I'm just hoping it will work.
At any rate, I finally got the Nabi apart, but I've been fearful of removing the connectors for the screen. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get the screen apart so I can try to replace it when I get the correct glass for it? PLEASE! There are NO Youtube vids for this...tons for the Nexus 7, but nada for Nabi.
Please help...I'm desperate! Thanks so much!!
The likelihood the digitizer isn't cracked is very low.
NABI2 touchscreen layering:
front glass..............thick (glue around outer most edges to frame)
airgap......................very thin (glue around edges)
digitizer glass........thin
lcd............................thick
I tried the same thing but the actual digitizer glass is like 1/10 the thickness of the front panel glass and glued to it on the edges. If the digitizer glass is not cracked, it will probably crack on attempted removal from the front panel. If the digitizer is fully working in-spite of the front glass cracking it may be possible to heat the front assembly up to the point the adhesive allows the glass to just fall out.... but as far as how close the glue melting point is to the melting point of the plastic frame is not something I know. The entire assembly is put together with some super strong double-sided sticky tape. If you can source just the digitizer and glass assembly I'd like to know.
Once one attempts a replacement and it doesn't work is it still possible to get Fuhu/Nabi to replace the screen (at reasonable cost)?
( If not you could just plug in a keyboard/mouse and use the hdmi out... would make a great XBMC server... once the port exists... )

I already put it back together because he was taking everyone's iPhones to play games on. lol The glass anatomizer (or whatever it's called), had a long thin strip and the LCD had a thicker one. Either way, the glass nowhere near fit. I had a feeling it was going to be too hard to replace anyway; hence the reason I can't seem to find a tutorial on fixing a Nabi.
And yes, Fuhu will fix it for like 85 bucks plus shipping...I only paid 90 for the tablet just recently (Craigslist). Oh well. I guess we'll just let him play till he cuts his finger.
Thank you both so much for your input. I appreciate it
Help replacing Nabi2 digitizer screen...
Any luck on this?
I have a Nabi 2 on which I've removed the broken digitizer. It was a bit more difficult than I had anticipated. I had to keep the heat gun on the glass and avoid heat-damage to the plastic. I used a small knife between the digitizer and the plastic frame. Next time, I may heat and bend a cheap knife into a Z shape to get under the glass without lifting it too much. I did get it out in some large pieces, but am not sure if I could do it intact if it hadn't been cracked.
Anyhow, the LCD looks great, but I can't seem to find the digitizer anywhere. The ribbon cable has a sticker with the following:
EP0700MLM1
12073*A1G.
272
View attachment 2625405
and on the back side above the chip, is:
40-90121-0
EDT REV.C
View attachment 2625413
on the inside glass is:
85701165
View attachment 2625417
The tiny text in the upper-right corner and written in mirror-image is:
XT2DA5A0118-EP0700 B1
I tried running the text through Google and aliexpress.com / alibaba.com, but to no avail. Anyone else have any luck?
Thanks,

I am sorry for bringing back an old thread, but has anyone found a source for a proper replacement part for this? I am having a hell of a time finding a replacement part for the digitizer in my nabi2. It's as if nobody makes a replacement for the digitizers with EP0700MLM1 on the ribbon cable. About the only choice I have now is to find a used part, and pray that it also has the same kind of LCD screen within the housing.

I am looking at a few on Fleabay now. You need to take yours apart and compare model numbers with the ones on Ebay. Just search ebay for Nabi 2 digitizer. about 20 results for it, ranging from $25 -65. The $65 one is a complete front panel minus the LCD. just unscrew the top panel and replace, it looks like.
Wow...I'm the original poster...and here I am years later still bothering with Nabi! lol In 2014, I went on Nabi's site and paid $60 to have the digitizer replaced. I never sent the Nabi in because a friend of mine gave me his kid's Nabi to use for parts (he couldn't get it to charge any longer). I took the entire front panel with LCD and digitizer and replaced it with mine. Worked like a charm...until my younger son stepped on it...on purpose! Lil turd! So, here I am again trying to fix the screen, BUT, this time I noted that I needed the LCD and the digitizer (the ribbon on the LCD was breaking off - not sure how that could have happened). At any rate, I ordered both the digitizer and LCD. I replaced them both and it's a no-go...not working. I still have it apart, but I have the cables plugged in, so when I move the screen around, the Nabi screen will come up, but the touchscreen isn't working. I may be sending the digitizer back, but I'm wondering if it's because of how they are lying on one another. Does anyone know if maybe the touchscreen doesn't work if it's too close or too far from the LCD screen. I don't mean by an obvious amount - I mean is there a "specific" amount of space. I am trying to get it in the casing exactly like it was before, but I don't want to do anything permanent until I know it's working 100%.
Also, you can easily and cheaply get the LCD and digitizer for the Nabi now - just stinks you have to order it from China and it takes forever to get here! I can only imagine how long a return/replacement is going to take. Ugh!
Oh, and Nabi has yet to return my $60 bucks...I have spent way too much on this tablet!
I ended up having to match my part number to a used but good part off of ebay. I had ordered several "new" digitizers and they never worked. There seemed to have been a design change somewhere along the line, or some missing information that made mine not work with the "new" parts available at the time.
However, to answer your question, the digitizer will work completely separated from the LCD as long as the ribbon cable is attached (of course). Rather than reassembling everything, I would only connect the digitizer to see if it worked. When I finally found one that worked, I then committed to doing the full repair.
It was a very painful process.
Is it an easy thing to take apart and put bk together if you have never done this before my daughter stood on her Nabi accident it was under her comfort blankie opps screen cracked but works fine she's only 2 ( well advanced for her age) soI dnt want her to use it incase she cuts her tiny fingers doesn't feel sharp but dnt want to risk it can't find any view on u tube still many years on be nice if someone would do one haha
Honestly...
It was a pain in the ass to remove the glass / digitizer from the nabi. If you're not careful--as I was--it is real easy to deform the plastic bezel that the glass / digitizer and LCD reside in. I ended up having to buy a replacement bezel that already had a digitizer and LCD attached to it. The LCD was DOA, but the one from my original was fine, so I begrudgingly transplanted that too.
Test the digitizer FIRST before committing to installing it on the plastic bezel.
My Nokia Lumia 920 Glass shattered after it was dropped from 2.5 feet, it landed on the glass and shattered, the touch is working fine and the display is also fine, no leaks and displays everything properly. When I took the phone to Nokia Care they informed that the whole glass, digitizer and LCD has to be changed even though the latter two were working fine and asked me around Rs.15000 (approx 280 USD) to fix it. Is it possible just to replace the glass. I recently ordered a digitizer in ebay and it was shown with glass and when I received the package it just had the digitizer without the glass and it didnt look like OEM at all. Am planning just to order the glass and use my existing Nokia digitizer that came with the phone if there is a way to separate the digitizer and shattered glass. Please let me know what I will require to fix.

I broke mine recently too and after calling several local phone repair places (got similar quotes), I was convinced that the best bet was to order the whole screen assembly (including the LCD, digitizer and flexible key ribbon) and then do it myself. the assembly cost me just under $100 and was easy to replace with the help of the video on ifixit (here).
You can do just the digitizer, but its risky. The digitizer (the glass) is adheared to the LCD screen, and as I learned with my HD2, its very easy to ruin the LCD when separating the two. Within the guide posted above, there is a seperate guide for doing this (the link appears at about the 17:50 mark), you just have to be very very careful.
One last tip! The flex ribbon for the volume, power, and camera keys is very fragile and can easily tear when you're assembling/disassembling. I ended up ruining the original one when disassembling, then despite being extra careful, ruined the one on the new screen when reassembling, then had to wait a week for another new ribbon that I ordered off ebay. Watch out for the little plastic nub on the inside of the casing by the camera button. It sticks straight out towards the key ribbon and cuts it like a knife. That's what ended up tearing mine both times.
Good luck!

XDA doesn't have a specific forum for the 1520 and XDA needs one. I bought my wife a 1520 and dropped it the first day (slippery case). Broke the glass in two corners and really doesn't effect anything and you can barely see the cracks. But, I too would like to replace it. Haven't tried to get an estimate and I am very capable of replacing myself. I have the insurance but that will cost $200.
Ideas or suggestions, other than don't drop your phone!
Hello guys & gals,
So as you all may know how fragile this phone is & with the lack of a full surround case (and brains) the top of the phone is essentially asking to be smashed.
So it finally happened, as I was walking, the phone slipped out of my pocket & landed on the pavement, the top right hand portion of the glass is chipped & there's a very small hairline crack on the glass itself, the digitizer itself is fine, however the front glass absorbed the damage causing it to crack & chip, I was wondering if it's actually possible to just heat the front glass, remove it & stick on a new glass like the one available in the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Display-To...202764?hash=item3d793f64cc:g:B7oAAOSwhJFb5xgu
Or would I have to go out of my way to get an entire screen & tear down the phone to replace it, there aren't many videos on this phones repair, plus I can only seem to find the front glass. Any information & help will be appreciated.
Here, they sell it the screen

Hey were you successful in replacing the glass? I see some on Amazon for $30. I'm in the same boat now. If i have to replace the whole display for several hundred dollars I'd rather just bin the phone and buy a different brand.
