Recently i broke half my screen, but it was still working. I figured out i could just replace the screen. So i bought a lcd, screen and digitizer in same. I managed to take all apart carefully, and replace everything. Now when i put the charger in the phone the screen lightning turns on but there is no picture. And the phone connects to the Wi-Fi and starts buzzing so it seems everything "Behind the black screen" is working perfectly. What can the problem be, and could i have broken anything under the replacement that refuses the picture to come on?
Would be superhappy if anyone could respond!
Regards Bendik.
You most likely bought a cheap knockoff and got buttsexted by them chinese manufacturers.
How much did you payed for screen+dig. combo?

tight well...
I bought a white G1 that has been run over... ive seen videos and images of this device working perfectly the keyboard is fine and the touch screen is fine.
However the glass is cracked badly (can still see everything on screen) and also there is no signal on the device, im guessing its the antenna?
So my questions are, how much do you think it would cost to repair? and also where in the UK can i get it done? any sites? or should i take it into a shop, if so what one? or should i buy the parts and do it myself?
Considering the cheapest screen goes for around 60 dollars in Hong Kong and is not even an OEM screen, I saw you will be in for atleast 100 dollars. I believe to repair is around 150 dollars at the cheapest. Don't quote me on it though, I just saw that somewhere else.
It's it's only the glass that's cracked though. Ok so about 100 quid for the glass and repair. How much for the antenna?
Thanks for the reply
BUMP!
come on hehe

It's going to depend on what happens when it's opened up. It could be a few things. The antenna itself is most likely not the cause but rather the connections. It could be a bad solder or even a cracked board.
Just eBay it and get yourself a Sapphire or the Samsung when it comes out. Both superior to the Dream at this point.
well, im going to open it and check the connections, haven't received the phone as of yet. So im hoping its just a connection problem. Then ill fix the screen and e-bay it if the sapphire is better. What samsung? problem is, theil be couple hundred £ lol

Just your opinion. Neither of those phones have a hard keyboard.
the htc magic (sapphire) is basically the same as the dream but with an on-screen keyboard... and with a new firmware update i can get the best of both worlds with an on-screen keyboard and a slide out one. which is exactly what ive been looking for!
So yeah, back on topic, anyone know where i can get a replacement glass for the screen (or whatever i need, its only the glass that's broken, touch screen and image is perfect) and also there is no signal on the phone, so im guessing it could be the antenna, but im not sure yet. I definitely need the glass replaced on the screen though
bump...
Please people
BUMP......................

Why bump for him, if he just had looked over the Dream sub forums he would have seen this thread in the general Dream section.
With that knowledge searching becomes a lot easier
sorry, dont mean to sound rude, but i have seen this thread and i have bought a digitizer for the screen, should arrive tomorrow. My problem is the fact that i have no signal and the GPS does not work, so i dont know if it is a problem with the antenna's or wether its something else... How could i test them? without buying another g1. I dont want to commit to buying a new antenna only to find out that it was actually a problem with the main board or something. And ebfore anyone says anything both the antenna cables are connected on BOTH sides.
So on my way from the car to the train station this morning, I managed to drop my phone on the ground.. I've dropped it a couple of times before, and nothing had ever happened.. but this time as soon as I dropped it I knew I wasn't getting that lucky this time. Maybe its the freezing temperatures, I don't know.. but my screen now has massive spiderwebbing in two of the corners, and cracks running all over the screen. The last day to do returns for the holidays (which is when I bought it) was January 15. I also didn't get insurance.. am I screwed? :/
I have seen operable cracked screen DNA's go for about $300-400 on eBay. In the long run you could do that and then buy one second hand without a cracked screen for about $450-$500, so in reality a $100 screen replacement
You could also have a shot yourself here. The internals don't look very hard to be honest
You can get some ideas here also
Contact a HTC repair centre first and maybe it works out cheaper?
Good luck

Thanks for the information! I'm not sure how much I trust myself taking apart my phone, but I may not have another choice. HTC RMA is asking $220, and it would take 7-10 business days (not including shipping).. I may potentially buy the screen shown in your link and try to do it myself. Although it says "Digitizer Touch Screen", it would only be the glass I'd be replacing, correct? The capacitive layer is still working perfectly fine, so I don't want to mess with that..

It would be the entire assembly you're replacing, it all comes as one unit rather than the glass and digitizer separately. From what I've seen from the pictures of the disassembled DNA, it doesn't LOOK as though it would be terribly difficult.

My thoughts exactly. Just make sure all of the cables are the correct length on the eBay items. (I have received 2 screens for 2 different models that had short flex cables) and I tried to force one of them and it snapped, the other one the guy said they were all the same so he refunded me. You could check if any other eBay users that have purchased them have left positive feedback too.
It would be awesome if genuine dealers were entitled to sell the screens but they are OEM and only to be installed by a qualified repair centre. LAME HUH!
However, DNA looks pretty basic and you could always post pictures of your progress and get some help from us guys if you get stuck Good luck guy
About a month ago, my fiance dropped his phone from the work truck (about seven feet) and of course, the screen cracked and had a big spider web on the upper left portion. Oddly enough, the touch screen still worked fine. While functional, the spider web annoyed him greatly, so we got a new glass screen for the phone.
We originally purchased the wrong model (he has a r530). When the screen wasn't working I took the phone to a repair shop and the guy said I very well could have gotten the wrong model screen for the phone. So we bought the correct model screen for his phone and the same thing happened. The soft buttons are working, the noise works and it lights up just fine. The LCD screen is in perfect condition and the guy at the repair shop said I replaced the screen perfectly (I used the plastic tools and a blowdryer and kept the heat away from the center of the phone and took my time. The original screen came off in one piece and I didn't run into any problems during the replacement.)
We recently ordered a new screen, thinking the last one we received may have been defective. However, after placing the new screen on the phone, the same exact issue arises where the soft keys work but the actual screen did not.
So...I was hoping for some help/advice. We really don't want to have to buy the LCD/Screen/Digitizer combo cause it's soo expensive. Could the digitizer have somehow been ruined during the replacement?
Thanks for any input you have. It is greatly appreciated.
well, did you replace the digitizer? if yes, then the issue is in the motherboard

I haven't been able to figure out how to replace just the digitizer, nor have I been able to find where to buy just a digitizer. Do you have any suggestions?
From what I understood, the digitizer was integrated into the LCD screen but I may be mistaken.
It's not the motherboard because if I take the motherboard from his phone and put it in mine everything works fine.
Search for the screen replacement how to and also you tube video .

touch is the digitizer's responsibility
Hey guys I've recently cracked my screen and the touch doesn't work any more so I need anew screen! Unfortunately I didn't purchase insurance when I bought the phone. I asked my operator how much they charge for a replacement and they quoted me £240 which I can't afford right now, I noticed there's a lot of cheaper options on ebay but I feel they probably wont be the orignal screen even though many state they are, one thing I've noticed is most don't state they are ips, is this why they are so much cheaper, if I order off of ebay will I be getting an inferior screen?
Bump, anyone?

look here
Never buy only the glas. You won't have the tools to seperate the glas from the LCD. (This works on Samsung devices with a hairdryer and a sucker, but not on sonys sh*tty sh*tty displays )
I dropped my Z2 2 weeks after i bought it, from about 30cm and had a little crack on the lower half of the display and touch wasn't working anymore.
Repair costed me 200 €
I also have a Samsung Galaxy S3. There is missing an around 5 cm big peace of the glas and the touch is still working... even at the position, where the LCD is directly touched, its wokring! -.- poor Sony.

Thanks for the info, I wont try be trying to remove the glass myself I have a repair shop near me that can do that, I'm more worried about getting the proper screen as I was quoted £240 to get a repair by my carrier, but I've seen screens for a lot less on ebay but was wondering if the screens were just inferior knock offs or whether my carrier was simply charging so much just to keep me inside my warranty
As the title says would love to get a confirmed oem or close to one at least, any links would be helpful!
My device is a d855.
TIA
Did you check on eBay?
looking for the same. all i can find on ebay seem to be generic ones. about a year ago i did buy one from ebay, lasted about two months and then it stopped working. since then the phone has been in a drawer just sitting there. i would love to fix it and get it back working. really loved this phone.

I managed to break my g3 screen and need replacement.
Have you receive it? I want buy from mobilepartskoria but I just worry about UK import duty.
Yes, I received it in Paris a few days ago.
Two weeks from Korea to France.
No import duty.
It works fine, very clean (grade A++ as mentionned) et all small parts were included and work fine.
Do not buy parts from FixEz.com they sell substandard parts and claim OEM Dont even have gorilla glass on there screens
Try www.aliexpress.com
I was taking video in snowy day, and now my screen doesn't turn on. It rarely turns on and everything(+touch) works fine for a couple seconds, then it turns black.
What part do I need to buy? Do I need a screen digitizer?
I think there are some on ebay priced $10-15 which I think they're glass. Does it worth to buy it?
A good condition G3 itself costs about $100, so I don't think it worth to pay $37 for a good grade A screen.
Can I separate digitizer and LCD ? Edit: I just realized that the touch works, no matter the screen is black or not (when phone is unlocked). Because I connected it to my laptop using Vysor, and I can see the screen without problem on my windows.
I found these 3 items, which one do I need? Since my frame and touch doesn't have problem, just the screen is black or off.
