DIY repair to screen - fixing myself with new screen help

My XDA 2s broke (couldnt make a connecting call)
so i rang o2 got a replacement sent out but it was the xda 2i. Which im happily using.
My xda 2s got sent to o2, but some hoe got sent BACK to me, and o2 have never asked for it since.
now, ive just bought another XDA2s from ebay that has a cracked screen but rest of the fone works.
SO does any body know if the 2 screens will be direct replacements?
ive removed the working screen from my XDA 2s and im waiting for the broken xda2s to arrive.
Also does any body know if there is a guide on how to change the screen that i could follow?
thanks

Why not look in the Wiki? But if you can't be bothered, there's a 1 in 3 chance it's the same and a 1 in 2 chance it will be interchangable.
p.s If you've already removed the screen why do you need a guide?...

i was a bit brutal removing the screen, as i didnt need the rest of the fone.
just a bit of re-assurince to be honest.

Damaged screen

Hi,
This is my first post here so I hope it's in the correct place.
I've got a Universal with a damaged screen (I trod on it ). Does any one know if it's possible to get a replacement (in the UK if possible)? If so, could you please tell me where from. Also, has anyone out there actually changed a screen on a Universal.? It looks a bit difficult to get the screen apart: I'm not sure where to start. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tony

Hi, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I dropped my Qtek 9000 on the floor and the screen broke. I bought a new LCD screen on ebay and replaced the screen my self. It was not very difficult and you only have to unscrew a total of 8 screws to do the job. I used the service manual to get some guidance in how to remove the screen.

Try these guys
I've not used them but remembered seeing them being talked about elsewhere in the forum.

Broken screen

I have broken the LCD Screen on my orbit. I am trying to find a replacement screen via the internet - but I am getting the impression that there are are two types of screens and i don't want to waste money on the wrong one - does anyone know how to find out which variation i have without taking the thing apart?and checking the part number on the screen?
Also has anyone replaced their screen - was it relatively straightforward?

You will have to take it apart to fit the new screen any way, so you can check the part numbers then ?

Thanks - I was hoping not to go down that route - but I have done it now, found the part number and ordered the new screen. At least it has given me some experience of taking the unit apart and putting it back to gether again. ... and with mine being the O2 Orbit - the method is slightly different to that posted in the Wiki - so i will try and document the differences and add them to the site.

please share the part number and where to get the replacement
hey Thunderer64 please share the part number and where to get the replacement as my o2 orbit needs a screen replaced too.
thanks

Screen Part Number
There were a series of numbers on the screen as follows:
TX0705APAA3
043S7585249
S/N 9DYA275DS02066
P/N 60H00071-00M
I did a search on e-bay for the first number (TX0705APAA3) and found a number of sellers selling that item. Assuming that all O2 Orbits have the same screen then you should easily find one for sale on e-bay. However the only way to 100% sure is to take the phone apart (quite easily done) and check the part numbers of your screen.
Hope this helps!

[Q] SLCD screen broken, replaceable with amoled?

Hi guys,
sorry if they has been answered elsewhere, ive been searching the web for days. I got a brand new HTC desire a couple of weeks ago and preceded to drop it, shattered the digitizer and damaged the LCD screen. I decided to do the repair myself and changed the parts no problem. The problem is the replacement screen wont work (it was brand new, genuine). My phone has an SLCD (checked part number against the replacements) and the replacement was an AMOLED.
Should the screen work no problem in my handset or do i need to get a hold of a SLCD? Also, im new to the rooting scene, but would this help 'fix' my problem?
Any help would be appreciated. I need to get my 2 weeks old phone working again haha.....i should have just sent it to HTC lol.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

[Q] Touch Pro 2 Digitizer Replacement! Please Help!

Hi, I have a TP2 with a broken digitizer. Dropped it a couple days ago and it's spiderweb cracked across the whole screen. The LCD work just fine, as I can still see everything clearly(except for the tiny cracks) but I can't use the touch screen, which maybe one of the most annoying things I have ever delt with. I wanted to know if anyone on this forum has any kind of digitizer replacement guide for TP2, and even better a video on it. Also, if anyone was interested in repair work for payment via paypal, I would be interested in talking to you. I could provide you with the phone(of course) and the replacement digitizer, along with the S&H on the phone for both ways. I havent found much on the subject anywhere else, and I have always found this site very useful dating back to my first HTC Wizard. I appreciate any help you have to give.
Thanks in advance

Namashkaar McJew,
Any luck ? I thought it would be easier for you to get it fixed at USA.
It is quite difficult to get digitizers in India for TP2 . Only if I can get hold of a digitizer I could have fixed it for you for no extra cost.
Wish you luck.
Regards
