Hi,
My mini's glass panel (digitizer) cracked. The HTC Customer Care is charging too much for it so I thought of replacing it myself. The problem is I googled and can't find any DIY instuctions. Does anyone know how to replace it?
Has anyone has bought the digitizer from ebay?... please share your experience ... how do you find it compared to the original?
Thanks!

attention is glued!
ciao
I did this yesterday. Pretty easy if you're patient.
Just remember to not remove the black adhesive round the edge.
And don't touch the LCD... Use gloves!

Hey,
Somehow I managed to brake my screen and now I can't see anything but weird colours on the display.
I was wondering where I can purchase a new LCD for my Hermes.
Also, I am looking for the best price; i'd really appreciate if you could give me some hints about what to do or if it is worth it at all to buy a new screen instead of replacing the whole damn device.
Is a broken LCD covered under the warranty?
How hard is it to replace the screen once bought and what's the thing with the TouchScreen, is that a seperate thing ?
Thanks
Look on the 3rd page....

Hey all,
Had my HD2 for about 3 weeks now, while walking yesterday I tripped and fell, this caused the digitizer to break. I have contacted HTC on a quote for repair. Seeing as they quoted 200 euros, I can't afford to have it fixed. I do have the skills myself to fix the device, all I need is a replacement digitizer. After many hours searching I have yet to find one on sale.
The LCD panel underneath is fine it's just the digitizer that has been shattered. Stunningly it does still responds to input, but having small shards of glass in my fingers isn't ideal.
Can anybody here help?
Thanks in advance,

I have been able to find digitizers for other models from HTC on ebay.
But currently there isn't anybody offering a spare HD2 digitizer, Does anybody know how I may be able to get my hands on one?
I have vacuum packed my HD2 for now to stop corrosion. Hopefully I can find a replacement part soon.
Thanks for reading,

Hi! How did you manage to seperate the digitizer from the lcd without crushing the lcd?? I tried and now my lcd is useless I've found a new digitizer on ebay, but not the lcd screen, and I need both.. Do you know where I can find a new one??
Has anyone successfully replaced the digitizer for our phone?
Any site you'd recommend? Any video or instructions you used?
I remember coming across a few posts where after replacing the digitizer it didn't work.
So I'm just trying to find someone who has successfully done it.
Thanks.
*bump anyone?
are you sure you want to try replacing the digitizer? as far as i know mt4g's screen is something like S-LCD (or may be true S-LCD) which mean the LCD are very very close with the digitizer.
when you decide to replace the digitizer you should make sure you can replace it precisely. no dust left behind and so on.
i think it is better to buy a set of assembled front bezel, LCD and digitizer. so you just replace the front area of the phone.

Awesome thanks bro.
I have replaced a few digitizers on mytouch 4g's. A trick to keep dust out is to get the adhesive strips and put it around the side of the digitizer too so you seal around the frame.
OK I'm an idiot I destroyed my digitiser when trying to do a screen replacement on my S4. Can someone please have a look at this pic and tell me if (apart from the broken digitiser) I have damaged anything else that would make digitiser replacement no longer viable?
Thx very much for replies
It's not just the digitizer that's toast, but the AMOLED screen as well. Those cracks near the upper right are where the screen itself is broken. With damage to the screen you're going to need to purchase a new midframe with screen and digitizer already attached to it. I don't know how much you spent on your glass, but the midframe and screen are going to cost about US$150.
Thx for reply . Could you just tell me if this is what you meant about what I need to replace the damaged parts?

Thx ever so much for help
That is precisely what I meant. It's the entire screen plus the midframe. You'll need to pull all the sensors and other small bits off the bad screen/midframe and put them on the good one, as the replacement part doesn't include the sensors. iFixit should have a breakdown guide you can use that should be of help.

I dropped my phone yesterday and there's a scratch on the screen. My phone came with the screen protector preinstslled and I was just wondering if the crack could just be on the screen protector as everything works fine. If it is infact the screen does anyone know where I can find a screen replacement video? As I haven't been able to

You fractured the glass and could replace the glass, which is a pain in the a*s. You are better off just replacing the screen and LCD
Glass

LCD and Glass

If you do it yourself you will also need 3m tape and glue. As well as a tool kit made for removing the screen, and a hairdryer. Be very careful not to damage the cables., when removing the cracked screen.
If you have never replaced a phone screen yourself and you live near a city, it will cost around $30 to have someone with the tools and expertise to do it for you. ( totally worth having someone else do it.)

Definitely pretty much the same. As you know already just be careful and test it before putting it back together.

When I get around to actually replacing it sure. Just a bit busy now so it's on the back burner. Since the phone is fully functional
