Hey Guys
I finally managed to crack my wizard (dropping it out of everywhere )
The prob is that I cracked only the touchscreen not the LCD.
The touchscreen seems to get the touches but it understands them differently.
For Ex:I push the Time on HTC HOME It opens the soft or left key dependent on where I'm pressing.
I found a touchscreen on e-bay without an LCD for 13 bucks so I ordered it but I wanted to know if anyone else had any luck with same situation
Aldo
Same case yesterday
I also drooped y phone yesterday and I have a crack line running across the screen but the touch screen is working ok for me. I saw the eBay auctions about screen and no lcd but what if the lcd is the part that is broken ?
can we change that too ?

I have several times replace LCD in a wizard. It was very difficult for me to replace the touchscreen so i take the complete set. It is not only te replace the touch layer, but you must alse do some soldering.
And if jou replace the screen, the flexcable must be propperly fit. Before i assembley al, i first check if screen en touch are oke.

It seems to be. I did it on a wizard and i know the HTC 8125 is the same one with a different housing.
I remember this kind off LCD picture. There is a dissasembly guide but you need a torx 4, plastic openingstools and a very tiny X screwdriver.
I use this kind off opening tool [URL="http://www.mobielbereikbaar.nl/Product.aspx?naam=Nokia+SRT-6+Opening+Tool+Origineel[/URL]

I got one from them.With instructions and tools!Worked fine.Install was easy
i have succesfully replaced the touch screen on my tmobile mda vario.
check that the ribbon cable is exactly the same as whats on your phone. the first touchscreen i got of ebay the ribbon cable was slightlly different and after assembling it didtn work, after getting another one with same ribbon cable, worked perfectly.
Note that you will have to solder the ribbon cable, a good soldering iron with a very fine tip will make it fairly easy. ribbon cable is very small so soldering can be a tad fidgity.

No need to buy the lcd seperate from the touchscreen and resistance weld the cables

I'd just go ahead and get the lcd screen with the digitizer. That soldering won't work unlest you can resistance weld the lcd ribbon cable and digitizer cable together and its only about $30 bucks on ebay now for them both together. Then you just get the repair manual, open the phone, swap the screen out and just plug it in and it works.
Is it easy to just change the touchscreen? how to do it?
Hi,
I had the same problem few month ago, and at that time the LCD screen was broken, and I had to change it by myself (with no big problems).
now I have a similar problem but just the touch screen is broken, I see that the price of just the touch screen is much cheaper that the whole LCD screen, but my doubt is:
How can I install just the touchscreen on th LCD,
I heard that you have to solder it.. but how? and is it easy?
is someone of you knows how to do it please post the istructions...
Luca
ohh... sorry, I sow just now that someone already answered to this questions...
I didnt see that there was a second page of the thread

I say if you are asking for instruction or pictures on how to replace a touch screen, you will not be able to do it yourself, it's a specialised techie job. I suggest replacement of the entire unit assembly - LCD+digitizer.
enigma is right.
Changing the digitizer is not an easy job. I recently had a "blind spot" in the middle of the digitizer, and I did not even think about changing it. Instead I obtained a LCD/digitizer unit from *bay for a bit above 20 Euros including postage (from China). Changing the LCD unit was done in 20 minutes all in all, and now my good old Wizard works fine again.
If you decide to buy a complete unit (I would really recommend this!), be shure to buy the right one, there are two types, one with a "gold ribbon", one with a "black ribbon". So, first you have to open your Wizard and look which type you need. Good luck.
htc housing
Hi guys, my trusty old wizard has finally fallen apart. the hain housing is craked even though the lcd and the phone itself is still in top condition. I am looking for a new housing so I can replace the old one and end up with a virtually new phone. Could someone point me to the right place please. I have been trawling the internet these last few days but because they have been out of production for that long, there does not appear to be any places I can get a housing to buy. Your help will be deeply appreciated.
Cheers.
Hello guys,
I need advice on whether I should dismantle my Blackstone, or should I just leave it to the pro? I want to change the housing as the current one's badly damaged but I dont want to pay big bucks for that.
As for myself, I have fair knowledge on these stuffs, as I have dismantled my previous HTC phones, ipods etc etc. However, the last time I tried to change the antenna cover of my Blackstone, I felt that it was rather difficult compared to the previous phones/devices I did. I ended up breaking the connecting latches on the old antenna cover. And I did follow the HTC Service Guide, which I think is not sufficient.
I couldn't find any video tutorials on dismantling the Blackstone. Could someone point me in the right direction please? Thanks a million
I just had to replace a damaged digitizer. i downloaded the service manual and it did help......a little! Basically, the main dissasembly was pretty straight forward, but the digitizer replacement was a nightmare!!! The LCD, Digitizer and front housing are basically fused together with an adhesive tape. Trying to remove the LCD from the digitizer was futile (broke the LCD). I had to basically replace the LCD and the Digitizer to make it all work again. The main problem with the new hardware is that you cannot get the stock replacement adhesive/tape so i had to use stuff from around the house.....i hope the diplay doesn't fall out of my phone. Anyway, got it eventualy working. Definately doable....but be careful not to touch the digitizer or LCD with your fingers.....whooops! Anyway, good luck.

Thanks.
Hmm. Or maybe the problem was only me. I find it pretty hard to dig out the antenna cover from its latches. Maybe I was digging on the wrong spot. And thats why I was reluctant to continue further. Mind sharing how you "digged" the antenna cover?
Yeah, be careful with separating the LCD from the digitizer. I recently replaced the digitizer on mine. I agree with the antenna cover, I had some troubles with mine.
I used a old sim card to help pry the antennae cover off. Because my digitizer was cracked i was able to peel it off the lcd without the the lcd. Managed to use the old adhesive tape aswell.
Check out this thread - it might help you! There you will also find a link to a video some other user made, showing how the HD can be disassembled! But - as others already have said: I wouldnt recommend disassembling the screen unit! I too managed to destroy my LCD doing so! forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462102
Thanks alot guys. Appreciate it.
video is in my signature. Changing the antenna cover is actually really easy once you have done it ... once or twice ;-)

If you are handy with very precise soldering then I would think it fixable. Trick is to find the parts... Let me know if you are interested in selling your HD as a broken phone. I happen to be in need of a motherboard myself.
Selling parts of htc touch hd.
I got all parts from my previous phone,going to make some pictures of the parts,the price for each part and the terms of payment and shipment.
All the parts are in perfect condition only middle housing is bad.
Regards.

Working rear camera?
Dear xda community,
recently I've found a perfectly working Galaxy S3 in the trash, only the front glass was broken.
I removed it with the help of my heat gun and put a replacement glass on.
I'm afraid that the lcd somehow got damaged in the process.
Would someone be willing to take a look at this?
https://imgur.com/QitO8OX
I really hope I can fix this somehow with the help of you :highfive:
Thanks in advance

Looks like you had the heat gun too close / too hot / on the phone for too long.
You've damaged the LCD's and the only fix is to replace the LCD and digitizer pair.
Probably not what you wanted to hear, Sorry!
