Is there anybody that has a video, photo guide or manual on how to replace the Desire digitizer??
A friend of mine broke her screen (just the digitizer) and I bought a new one through ebay. I wanted to surpise her, but by replacing it, but that would work better if I knew how to....
Anybody able to help?
I found numerous guides on all other HTC models, but I suppose the Desire is still too new and not enough people have busted their screen... :S

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

If its AMOLED it will have the samsung logo on the rear of the LCD.

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
Hello,
I have a HTC Desire HD that has just died on me, it just stopped detecting the SIM car. Everything else works just fine.
Gave it to HTC service here in India and they gave me a quote of 13000 INR ($260) to replace it. Since its out of warranty (15 days over) I'll have to bear the expense.
Now I got this phone for 25000 INR($500) it makes no sense to go for this replacement. Now my dilema here is what more can I do with this phone besides using it as a glorifed paper weight
I doubt root it would solve this issue. But would love to hear from you.
Kind regards
I'd just went out of the similar problem. One day my DHD turn off and... That's all ! It just turn of and never came back. I'd to send it to HTC support, they return it to me saying something like "we changed the motherboard".
Now I think "Whatdafuck is this phone whitch can die one day without any aparent reason !!". At it's next death I'll get a Motorola.

Atleast you were lucky that you device was under warranty. I am well and truly screwed.
cheers
Personally, I'd get it repaired, since you could easily get another years' use out of it (more, but other devices will start to make it look old).
That would then work out at $20/month, compared to say $40 ($500/12 months) for a new phone, even via an operator's subsidy.
I'd also let HTC do it so that they can respond directly, should anything go wrong.
Sorry I saw you replied.
If you pay the HTC support can repair your phone.

I would try to buy very cheap non working phone with broken digitizer or similar - many people (at least in europe) sell their phones when they are broken and get new ones. And I would change the mainboard myself. its not that difficult. Ive done it with my old htc topaz...
Suffering at the hands of HTC
Last week, my 1.5 years old Desire 816 was working absolutely flawlessly. 5 seconds later, I pick it up and it is dead! :crying:
The HTC Service Center guys are asking for Rs. 9,700 for changing the Motherboard and I am like WT*. I can buy a new phone at that price. A bit of research and find out that Motherboard issues are very common in HTC. This surely was my last HTC phone.
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Is there any way I can get this phone repaired in the open market?
2. I was using CDMA as my primary number. I am not finding any other reputed manufacturer who has CDMA smartphones. I am not willing to ditch CDMA as of now. Any suggestions for a good smartphone that is not HTC?
A couple days ago, i took my digitiser-less WFS to the shop, to get it repaired, a bloke in the shop said that the phone could not be repaired, he said it was broken Forever, all that happened in the past was that i dropped my phone down concrete stairs, as a result it smashed and stopped functioning, so i opened the phone and removed the digitiser glass by following a step by step video on Youtube, the phone sucessfully powered in to CM7, So i wanted to know if the WFS can be repaired, im also pretty sure it can as my Friend had a similar problem with WFS (Smashed, Not working) and a mobile dealer repaired his phone with a new digitiser.
Yeah I've seen videos on YouTube of people changing the digitiser. You could probably do it yourself from one of the videos. Give it a search, they'll prob provide a source to purchase a digitiser as well.
So it is actually possible for a new digitiser to be fitted?

There you go dude. Thats half the work done! Dunno where you will find a digitizer though. Google or eBay would be a good start
Yes it is, they sell on ebay
Does anyone know anywhere in london, UK to get a new screen fitted.
I dropped my htc desire hd yesterday and its cracked the screen, there is no ink on the screen and everything is working fine still, so its just the first piece of glass thats broke.
so what exactly do i need to get fixed, i see alot of people mentioning ameled or something like that, do i need to get that replaced as well, or can i just buy the glass myself and fix it myself?
i've checked a few htc repair centres online and they all want between £60 - £90 to fix it, but im sure i can do it myself with the right equipment.
For anyone that knows about this kind of process what would be best for me to get? knowing i have never done a repair myself, im not stupid and can follow instructions well but just wondered would be better for me to get???

this is the full thing so i'll need to just get the phone apart and then install the part.
or
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370550551200?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
which means i'll need to get deeper into the phone and remove things ect ect.
what do you think guys?
someone must know about this?
surely im not the only numpty to drop my phone
Get the one in the first link as changing the digitizer only is a REAL BALL ACHE. The replacement of the lcd and digitizer together as one part is pretty straight forward. Search "htc desire hd screen replacement" in YouTube and you'll find lots of tutorials. I suggest watching a few of them before any attempts. Good luck.

Cheers for the reply, but this morning i decided to pay to have it repaired rather than risk messing it all up myself, i found a htc repair centre that will fix it and return it for £44.99p
so im over the moon with that price, i thought i'd need to pay around the £80-£90.
so anyone else that has a cracked screen, i suggest calling these guys, their very helpful over the phone.
I cant review how good their service is as i have yet to send them the phone,
but so far, so good.
