Hi everyone,
Due to a certain female acquaintance of mine my phone has suffered some medium-serious cosmetic damage.
The screen has a large scratch on it and the reflective bezel is chipped in multiple places.
I contacted the authorised HTC repairer in Australia and I got a quote for ~400 AUD.
I have looked around and found that I can buy the screen/digitizer separately but haven't found where to obtain the bezel. Would anyone be able to help me? I'm comfortable repairing the phone on my own.
Thanks for any help in advance
What about ebay?

Hi I have a problem, i have a HTC p4350 and I have a screen but without digitizer. Someone has a guide how to mount the digitizer ? Nowhere I can not find anything. Can even impose a digitizer to LCD, or I need to buy the entire LCD ? I have to buy a new LCD with digitizer?
Sorry for my bad english, I used google translator
Well, in most cases buying the LCD and digitizer together altogether assembled is actually cheaper than just buying one or the other. I would hit up ebay and see what you can find.
No but you can buy the same digitizer for $ 7 and the entire LCD for $50 so the difference I do not know whether it is easy to exchange the digitezer.
here is a link to the video i used to replace mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN6cKRM2F1M, its actually not too hard once you have watched the video a few times BEFORE you start
oh and i dont know about any place else but you can buy a lcd/digitizer combo with tools for about $40.00 US on ebay just put "lcd digitizer tmobile wing" in the search engine
hope this is helpful
here is a 3 part series on replacing the lcd,

LCD/Digitizers are about $35 to $40 with tools on ebay and are quite simple to replace. Just watch the video on youtube and follow their lead.
The digitizer is soldered to back of the lcd , it is very difficult , just buy a complete lcd screen on ebay for 28 bucks .

can someone link me to a trustworthy Ebay seller for a LCD?
Guys I'm looking for a real original htc touch screen, till now I've found only clones. I tried them 2 times, and differently than the original one, when I dropped the phone with the clones 2 times on 2 I immediately broke the touch screen. Instead when I dropped the phone with the original one I had no problem at all.
The clones just suck...
Do you know where to find the real original touch screen?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-HTC-T...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item2eb0678ba3
supplied me genuine lcds & digitizers for a variaty of HTC & Nokia devices.
Big part with final result on Diamond 2 is correct bonding of digitizer, non solid setting adhesive should be used & full bonding around the edges must be achieved.
Solid setting adhesives transfer shock without any absorbtion & non bonded areas flex & resonate causing potential fracture points.
Of course ****e quality chinese copy parts play a big roll in problem repairs too ...
Actually I bought exactly the new touch screen from that seller. And that touch screen wasn't the original though.
You can see that it's not an original one looking at the zoom bar. It's shorter that the origial one. The genuine one gose from edge to edge, instead the clone one is smaller. And the overall colour is different. I can post pictures of both original one and clone one.
Anyway what do you mean by solid setting adeseive??
Just put in a PayPal claim for non delivery & get your money back. recently got LCD & digitixer for 2 Diamond repairs, both parts were original. If sent you copies do them over, get your money back & give them some nasty feed back.
No hard solid adhesives should be used, needs to be soft rubber type glue to help absorb & stop shock loads transfering to digitizer.
Ok here is a picture where you can see the difference between the original and the one bought from that seller. Is yours similar to the one marked original or to the one marked clone?
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/2456/touchscreen.jpg
One marked original, markings are light & the - & + icons run almost in-line with edges of screen.
Also back lighting bleeds through too much on cheap copy digitizers.
They supplied you a non genuine part so screw them over big time.
I live in Asia & by my digitizers & LCDs from UK as all our local parts suppliers sell china spare parts of supposing different quality pending on how much you are willing to pay ! Quality of almost all chinese digitizers & LCDs are simply ****e & not worth the postage stamp & do nothing but pollute the environment with manufacturing waste & a product that is waste as soon as removed from packaging.
Sorry to thread hi-jack but iv'e been looking for this answer everywhere and everywhere says what type of adhesive to use but no one gives a specific make-brand or link to buy any .
I was looking at buying a full case from the same seller as my phones current case is looking a little worn out and although the digitizer is perfect and is falling out i dare say when i try to get it off it will smash into a million little pieces so i'll order the full set. But my question remains what is the best type of glue to use who makes it and where can i get it from?
Oh and would be handy to hear if you have any tips or experiences using it.
Thanks
Digitizers, don't buy here, go there!
I too ordered 2 digitizers from E-cell; both were fakes!! They won't go into any discussion with me, they just told me to send them back. They KNOW that is crap there selling and advertise it as genuine...
BE AWARE DON'T BUY THERE, IT IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
Yesterday 2 new digitizers arrived. I ordered them on ebay at:
Service Parts UK
Sarfraz Arif
10 sunny bank grove
Bradford
West Yorkshire
BD37DJ
United Kingdom
They work perfectly, this guy has 100% positive feedback on ebay. So if you want a good replacement, try it.
Digitizer glued to LCD?
I contacted a repair man and told me it's a waste of time buying replacement digitizer as the orginal is stuck onto the LCD and you risk damaging the LCD if you attempt to remove it.
Is this true or is he scaring me off in doing the job myself.
Also I read that you need adhesive tape is this true?
If refering to Diamond2, LCD is not bonded any any way to digitizer.
Digitizer is bonded to alloy front chassis only.
This is one of the easiest HTC models to strip & repair, LCD or digitizer can be fitted individually no question.
If you take care with disembly & be gentle with all ribbons it will be simple.
some common sense & previous experience comes in handy de-bonding & rebonding digitizer but its far from scary.
Adhesive tape is not the best option but perhaps the simplest.
I used a tiger brand u30 adhesive, black in colour & sets rubbery so act as a good shock absorber. advantage of adhesive bonding is better full radius bonding resulting in a more shock & direct impact resistant digitizer.

I have replaced mine 4 times. Used 3m black rubbery adhesive tape.
If you where my neighbour i would have changed it for faster than you could drink a cup of coffee
It's a bit tricky to find god digitizers on Ebay.
This is one of the best I bought. The backside should look like the one in this auction.
There's allot of rubbish digitizers on ebay.

@Mr B
Where do you buy this tiger brand u30 black adhesive? I googled it and found no results.
Also if I ever needed to replace the digitizer again will it be easy to remove if it had u30 adhesive on it?.

@Lasker1
I bought this Touch Screen Digitizer For HTC Touch Diamond 2 II T5353 and waiting for it to arrive. It was the only one I could find within my own local ebay listing that looks to have the right full length zoom guide at the bottom. Come over for a cuppa.

Fortune IT hardware shop BKK. No done a second replacement yet but tested adhesive prior to using it for assembly & it should be quite easy to clean to about 90%.
Tape is the simplest but varies in adhesive strength & can result in digitizer being not flush fitting & not evenly bonded resulting in easy failure with impact loads.
Also most people who use tape end up doing second replacement.

Hi.
Almost a 1 yeard old post but can you tell me the seller ID that sent you the digitizers or any other that you used to get good quality ones?
I really need it and most I found looks very low quality items.
Thanks.
I dropped my HTC Legend yesterday onto concrete, and now my screen is cracked. I've looked online to see if I could buy the part myself, and try and fix it myself as a local cell repair shop says it will cost 180$ to fix, for that price I'll just buy a brand new Legend and cut my losses with this one. Looking around online though, I'm unsure as to what I need to buy? I've found an LCD screen, or a digitizer... My touchscreen and all those functions work 100% all thats wrong is the glass is spiderwebbed pretty good. I'm thinking that I need the digitizer not the LCD screen? Or is there just a part thats just the glass? I'd post a picture of the phone, but I can't due to site restrictions.
Hi can anyone link me to instructions on how to replace the front/outer glass only, of my H932?
Glass only repair is a very tough work, especially for LG V30 with curved screen, you could possibly ruin the whole screen. I think it's better to change a whole new display, there's a screen completely repair tutorial on Youtube, made by Wit Rigs, you could take that as a reference.
it is cheaper to have LG fix a cracked screen. The cost is $146 (you pay the shipping to them, they cover the cost of shipping the phone back to you).
Yeah, cheaper just to buy a new phone
There's a machine to freeze display and then you can separate the glass and display safely. The machine itself will cost you a ton of money so, its better to find a repairshop in your country that offer glass replacement (not a full display replacement, if they do offer glass replacement they should have that machine).
