I dropped my phone and need to replace the housing. It looks like the digitiser cannot be easily removed from the housing, so I bought one of these as well. Now all I have to do is move the phone from the old housing to the new and install the digitiser in the new housing.
Now it looks like the digitiser may have been glued in place. What type of glue should I use ?

More liked taped in...... I'm sure that lots of people will respond with.. Double sided 3M tape.... but if there's anything better/stronger than that on the market use it. Make sure it''s really thin tape to. I'm gonna be replacing my housing in the next month or so aswell. Goodluck.
As I also will replace mine digitizer, the newton rings are bugging me, it will be appreciable if you can share your experiences of the replacement process.
thanks in advance and god luck
Hey on more thing. I took apart my phone last night and put it back just so I know my way around when parts come in.
If your Digitizer does not work try loosening the top srews 1/4 turn. You have them on too tight.
I wasn't replacing mine so I didn't have to remove the existing one. All I had to do was attach a new digitiser to a new housing.
I was told that double sided tape was the best, so I tried that.
I used the instruction from http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/htc-touch-diamond2 which was easy enough.
You need to ensure you remove the micro SD card first.
Also I forgot to move the LED diffuser from the top, so I need to repeat the process at some stage.
The housing I bought had a number of issues
* The two screw point near the bottom of the housing didn't have the metal inserts with the screw threads
* There was no seal between the metal housing and the LCD screen. This could let dust in.
That's about it for a brain dump.
Hi there,
I was also tired from that oil stai and ordered a new digitizer from these guys:
http://xxx.sw-box.com/htc-touch-diamond-2-t5353-digitizer-touch-panel-screen.html
Surely it arrived in 6 days, to my horror it was a generic display,
Had some trouble removing the old one, ended up breaking it
The generic did not fit snugly, I had to sand down the edges to make them round, also had some trouble with the four buttons below getting stuck when pressing down, (shaved of some extra plastic). anyway used double sided scotch film to get the digitizer back in place.
apart from a few difficulties, it works like a charm.
Should have ordered an OEM but what's done is done
Next time I'll do the cover and get a new digitizer
Regards
I would of thought double sided tape too thick to use to stick the digitizer on.
I was thinking of using a very thin sliver of clear silicone.
Anybody tried this or have any other suggestions?
Thanks
I used a very thin layer of supergleu and it worked great!!
My digitizer came pre-glued. I didn't need any sort of glue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715724
Silicone is OK
I used a very thin layer of black silicone and placed a book on top of the digitizer to keep it pressed flat into the case as it dried overnight. No problems since then...
The missing metal screw inserts can simply be pulled out of the old housing ; insert screw halfway and gently pull with plyers. Carefully hammer into the new casing; insert screw 3/4, put something thin and metal on top to prevent the screwhead from getting damaged and carefully hammer into the void. Make sure it goes in straight.
I've got exactly the same issue with my new housing, no bottom screw threads and no foam for the lcd to rest on. Am trying to pull the threads out with pliers but I think the old case is going to break first or strip the threads.
This is isn't an easy job
have finally finished this epic!!!!
had to break the bottom screw threads out of the old front housing and took a good while hammering them into the new housing so I didn't break it.
used a small sliver of clear silicone to glue the digitizer in which seems to work well so far.
Have not put any foam or anything for the LCD to rest on, time will tell what effect this has.
I need to change mine as well. Where can i buy a good quality digitizer and case preferably pre-glued?
I found a few on ebay but i am not sure of the quality.
Thanks
Today i searched also for shops which have digitizers and housings. I have found 2 shops, but one of them is a german shop (http://www.mobileok.de) which does not deliver outside of germany and austria. But the other one does: http://www.sw-box.com/
what kind of glue? it's the third time that i'm re-gluing it, but dust keeps coming inside....
I guess, it is not possible to hermetical seal the housing. I had dust in my original housing too. There are a lot of small gaps everywhere not only between digitizer and frame. But it would be easy to disassemble the device from time to time, remove the dust and reassemble it again. Save your energy in the effort to make your device dust proof.
Hello
Today my loved Touch HD fell down and the front glass of the touchscreen is broken now :/ Because the reparation is so expensive, I think about repairing it by myself. Now I just want to ask you: Is this the right part?
(Picture 1.PNG in the attachment)
Or do I have to take sth like on the 2.PNG?
Picture0017.jpg is a photo of the broken touchscreen.
And another question: Is it hard to do this by myself?
Thanks
Greetings,
IceFire32
PS: Sorry for my bad english :/
Hi i did this myself. It is a little fiddley. At the last stage removing the glass from carriage was worst bit. Had to apply a substantial amount of pressure. (see the metal distorted off the back of the sensor)
I only wanted to change the casing. Ended up breaking the glass and tearing the connecting ribbon on the sensor.
Since your replacing this part anyway the whole pocess is much easier.
I got the parts off ebay. Cost me £56 in feb.
there is a good tutorial linked in this forum somewhere. Do a search. Guy with a strong italian accent.
PS get some double sided tape. as thin as you can find it.
and be very careful how you place the glass back in or use a weak adhesive tape.
Watch the tutorial. (search the forum) to see where he pushed to dislodge glass.
Hope this helps.
I have in front of me a perfectly fine HTC HD2, but the digitizer is cracked and not responding.
I ordered a TMOUS HD2 digitizer replacement, and am waiting for my T5 torx screw to come.
Beside these things, I heard that I'll also need 2mm 3M double-sided tape.
Is it possible to reuse the ones that are currently holding the cracked digitizer?
Or should I start hunting for some of those tape?
I used 4 drops of superglue when I replaced mine...
I used crazy glue but it left white residue. I cracked digitizer again so this time I will use 2mm tape, not crazy glue. I also used regular 3M tapes 1/2" wide but I had to trim it. It's a pain in the ass but doable. Now, I will buy 2mm tape instead.
Has someone a link?
Today i reopened my phone because using the old pieces of tape wasnt holding enough, so the screen was a bit over the housing.
Now i used thin tape (noname) and had to cut it myself, what really is a pain in the ass. THe problem is, that with cutting and then fingering this togehter my screen not is very stable but still to high.
If i order tape now i want to buy the right one!!!
Has someone a link or article number? Dont want to buy just a 3m 2mm tape that is to thik or something...
So 1mm or 2mm?
Is there a difference in hight?
I got this:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/3M-2mm-ADHESIVE-...280211?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255d9bc793
Thank you!
What did you use it for? Only the display and touchscreen or did you glue the display to the housing and the part unter the buttons with this too?
After opening it twice i think i need:
-Display with touchscreen
-Display in housing
-The parts of the touchscreen that stands over the display ( buttons and lightsensor) , to the housing..
Do you know a more exactly name for the Tape?
Someone wort about LSE300 but this is only the category name ;D
But anyways thank you for the seller, the tape was good for yoU?
How did you guys remove/plan to remove the glass from the LCD?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Just warm it and with a razor(razer? you know the sharp flat knives ;D) you cut along the edges.
Just make sure you move the razor parallel between the touchscreen and display, so you dont break or scratch the screen.
For heating up, you can take a hair dryer or put it in the oven for 5-10min. I think 50°C(a bit longer to heat all trough) . More temperature shouldnt be a problem, sun on black surfaces often gets ~80°C but dont risk it, and you need to touch it to remove the screen
------
For the soldering version a little hint:
The cable on the new touchscreen can be soldered from top and downside.
You dont need to solder on top the little overhang, just put a bit soldering tin between, then cable on top and let the heat go trough the cable to heat the tin on the underside=> more space and all the way conected.
There is a little round mark to alighn the new cable. Use this, or the chip on the cable will not fit unter the hole in the housing ;D
If its hard to solder just put a bit soldering tin on the display first. Then put the cable above and press the soldering iron on top. The soldering tin you put between will connect them perfectly. Use a tool to press the cable on the display untill the soldering tin is hard.
The secret of basic soldering skills is not to move after you take away the soldering iron until the tin is hard, every movement in these seconds makes the soldering spot weak or its not connected right.

Wow that's quite interesting. I broke another hd2 a while ago, and its just laying around. Screen works well, I just hated the cracks. I may try this out...
Edit : if someone could make a video tutorial, that would be sweet. The one online isn't so great

I haven't used it yet, because I bought it last week and they're still shipping it to me.
I'm going to be using it to replace the tape between the old digitizer and the LCD.
I thought the display-to-housing tape was padded, wasn't it?

Yes, there are many kinds of different tapes. Thin, padded, metalic and some seemed to be more like glue dots.
But i dont think its so important do rebuild this exactly
Starting from 5:00 he seperates Display and Touchscreen ;D
But the guy soldered from top, you can actually see it at 7:40, i think its better to solder between display and cable, as i tried to describe above..
That lucky guy was able to reuse the whole tape as it was, but im not sure if it is still so good, even if it is one piece.
When my tape comes, i will eventually make a little screen replacement video ;D
But my camera is not very good at close-ups, but i try ;D

Also replacing the audio jack is fairly easy, since you do not have to desolder it.
What brand and model # is your heat gun? Video was very good thanks

Absolutely!!! That's a HUGE plus!!
Super sweet! I don't have sound on this computer, (at work), but did they mention about water resistance integrity after reassembly it?
It might be that it's still waterproof but I wouldn't count on it. Especially the display is sealed against water with some sort of taker and its hard to impossible to disassemble the moto g without damaging this tape.
But I have another question. The original Motorola screen has a foil glued on the display to seal the speaker holes against water. Does anybody know with what those foils could be replaced for a non OEM screen?

I would guess that it's extremely thin since it tears so easily. You can buy that stuff but what I've seen is in amounts that would probably do every G3 made. That would make it half the cost of the phone. I've never searched for small amounts but it may be available.

I had the same thought about a week ago while watching a tear down for another device. I wonder if there's some sort of 3rd party material we could use that would be stronger. I really don't like tearing down a device working perfectly, but if it improves the integrity of the device I'm all for it. I see that the same way as I do an xbox 360 motherboard fix. Sometimes the OEM doesn't make the best choices in material.
I've seen foil where the thickness is measured in microns, but it's so expensive. The best bet would be trying to get a sample.

Thanks for the replies!
It kind of would have to be thin enough to not alter the sound in any way.
Probably a stupid idea, but what about using this adhesive tape (aliexpress: 10mm*25M Strong Acrylic Adhesive PET Red Film Clear Double Sided Tape No Trace for Phone LCD Screen) (I can't post links yet... :/) instead?
Then cut out the adhesive at the whole for the speaker so there is only the thin foil which covers the adhesive left. What do you think about that?
Furthermore, do you think this adhesive tape (aliexpress: New Brand 1mm Double Side Adhesive 3M Sticker Tape Repair Fr Cellphone Touch Screen NEW) would be suitable to glue the screen back in place?
Thanks!
Does nobody have an opinion on that?
Otherwise I'll just try and then report if it worked. Even if the sounds get a little bit more dull the water resistance is worth it to me.

No self repair on the screen this time around, it looks like a nightmare to remove...hopefully it's a way to go in from the screen side

It wasn't too hard to take apart, only hard part was removing the back glass, took some work and heat. You don't want to rush it so you don't break the glass. Don't think it would be possible to take it apart from the screen side, the cables are all connected to the main board from the rear so you would need to take the back apart regardless to get access to the connectors.
Im impressed by how clean the device is inside, unlike previous devices (10, m8 etc) that all was a PITA to tear down with ribbons going through the mainboard etc.

U Ultra was pretty clean as well, HTC must have learned quite a bit about internal design from being an ODM for the Pixel )
great video as always.
Looking at the mainboard from the front of the phone, what is the little block next to the "selfie cam"? Is that another mic directly under the pinhole on the top of the phone, or is it part of the speaker/subwoofer?
I only ask because I accidentally tried to pop out my SIM tray by putting the needle tool in the wrong hole .. There was resistance, and then there wasn't. All mics seem to be working. Max volume of the phone seems low, but I could be wrong. Did I just destroy the top speaker assembly?

It's another mic hole (for the video recording audio feature). It has a fine wire mesh going across (slightly recessed under the glass) for extra dust protection. You only just pushed through that so may not be as dust resistant as before.

Thank you both. I'm not as concerned about the IP67 water and dust resistance, as long as I didn't just skewer the speaker or sever some important wire.

I need to remplace my screen, It's broken but functional, but it isn't in the video. Can you explain me a little more, how to remove it safely? Please
Yes I would love to know if the glass is replaceable from the front without disassembly....... Smaller quote I have gotten is $320aud using htc parts (they won't consider using aftermarket which I can get for $40aud)
The digitiser is fine....... Can you please pm me if this is possible? In theory it should be the same as removing the rear glass and as you are not disconnecting the digitiser from the board.
I'm inexperienced here so please correct me if I'm wrong
---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------
Or is the screen and digitiser one complete thing
Unfortunately you will have to start from the back if you want to remove the front LCD. The LCD cable is located under the battery so in order to remove the LCD you must do the following:
-remove back glass
-remove protective black panel
-remove speaker on the bottom and lower board
-remove motherboard
-remove motherboard
-remove lcd
I would go for a replacement part that comes with frame rather than the LCD only. You just transfer from old frame the motherboard and the charging port, the earpiece and the speaker and the battery.

I've just got mine apart to look at doing a screen replacement. What do you need to do to put the back panel back on, glue/tape?
Unfortunately all these teardowns to be found in the net do not mention ot show where the gps receiver is. I have to replace it as it is not working anymore (after several weeks of increasing location deviation.) I would like to replace it, however, I couldn't find any hints regarding the make or any other specifications.
Any advise is very much appreciated
Cheers
