I've been watching ebay for LCD replacement kits and just noticed the first one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270600553474
I think this is worth a topic to discuss options for LCD replacement in general.
My first question of course is whether this assembly is Novatek or Epson. I'm also wondering if this is the whole glass+digitizer+lcd assembly or just the separate parts which require glueing together. I've emailed the seller about these.
Edit:
The seller got back to me and listed the Part #s on the back of the LCD:
2V6A1XXXXXXXXX
83H00256-02
These numbers match up with those on the back of the LCD from the iFixit teardown here:
http://s1.guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/JelGNlw1pEWaAQ1k.huge
The seller also claims that he has BOTH models of the LCD. So presumably one could choose whether he wanted the Novatek or the Epson display. The iFixit teardown came out before the device was released so I expect those numbers are from a Novatek display.
Edit:
Seller replied saying the item is for the entire assembly as in the above iFixit picture: LCD + touchscreen digitizer glass. He says all you need to do is drop it in the mainboard.
Based on this info, it sounds like a pretty easy install.
Now who wants to switch their Epson for a Novatec??
Updated first post with additional info.
is it possible to figure out which display we have without opening the phone? or heck, i'd like to open this puppy up.. if it's as easy to take apart as my iphone was i'd go for it. is one display better then the other?
There is a way to tell without opening the phone, I came across it on the forums the other day, but the method seemed sorta complicated and involved using your pc.

Probably something like:
Code:
adb shell dmesg > C:\phonedmesg.txt
You need Android SDK installed.
Ctrl+F: nova or epson.
I am glad I got the insurance on my phone. No buying a screen for 150.00 for me.

I cracked my screen on my touch pro 2 last night and my touch screen still works fine, I just have 2 long cracks from the right of the screen to the left. what is it I need to replace to have my pretty touch pro 2 again?
I'm on Verizon and I don't have insurance so that's out of the question.
I've added some pictures of my screen.
that hella sucks. Give this place a try given that you know someone that can install it. When I broke the screen on my Shadow, I was able to take it down to a cell phone repair shop and they took care of the ordering of the screen and instillation. If you want to get an idea of the prices you can check the following websites. Check your model number first to ensure proper fit. http://zlectronic.com/product/LCD-Display-Screen-+-Tools-For-HTC-Touch-Pro-2-T7373. For more options try the following: http://www.cellulardr.com/search.php?nobox=&scat=&stext=screen&stype=&sprice=&sman=7&pg=2 Best of luck
I was thinking about just doing it myself, I've never done anything like that before but I figured I'd give it a shot.
thanks for the sites.
If you are planning to make it yourself go to the Wiki and over there you´ll find a disassembly manual for Rhodium.
Good luck,
IS the Digitizer and lcd glued together? or are they seperate?
Because I had a touch pro (fuze) and the lcd and digitizer are glues together and I wasn't able to seperate them without distroying the lcd.
Had to order both digitizer and lcd.
you may want to open it up and see if there glued together that way you what to order.
I didn't have opened mine yet, but there was a discussion here and they saying it's pretty well glued. you'll need a hot air gun, good hairdryer or/and a very good skills with razor blade
you can't order just the broken glass. you didn't say if lcd is working too, but if yes, you may try to just remove the broken glass. it would probably be polarizer and it may work without it, with not as bright picture on sunny day.. may..
check ebay, in case, better order combo (touch+lcd) because there seems to be some optical compatibility issues.
I have hardware version 0003, the display works fine just the top glass got cracked, can someone point me in the right direction for a new digitizer assembly? I found one on amazon new for 24$ but have no idea if it will work for my phone.0002 vs 0003 I read have different ribbon cables.
Sent from my EVO.
When this happened to me, I couldn't tell that the LCD had also cracked. I bought the digitizer only, and when I took apart the phone, I realized that I didn't have the parts I needed to fix it.
I can tell you that the correct P/N for the Novatel screen is 2V6A, but I am not sure of the P/N for the Epson screen. Check which screen you have by adjusting the brightness.
If when you adjust the brightness it switches with a fade effect, then you have a Novatel screen and you need the 2V6S ribbon. However, if it switches quickly and suddenly from one brightness setting to the next without a fade effect, then you have an Epson panel and you need the other ribbon cable.
So, I know it's been posted a lot in other places but I couldn't find like, a definitive answer as to if there are different digitziers? Am I just confused?
I would like to try and just replace the digitizer and glass over top of the LCD, my LCD works fine, the cracks are really thin and only a few going across diagonally. It fell from maybe 2 feet off my lap onto a parking lot surface.
I understand there is two LCD pannel types like you said, but are there two digitizer types/sizes?! for that ribbon cable.
I'm completely comfortable with taking it apart, I'm just worried I'll get the wrong part and find out the screen is also cracked and have to end up not using it for days until new stuff ships.... bleh
I've found digitizer+glass on amazon for 24-30$.
How do I adhere it to the LCD though, says doesn't include anything to do that.
EDIT: Found this gem: http://www.durapowerglobal.com/HTC-EVO-4G-Digitizer-Adhesive-_p_1166.html
Adhesive wont be a problem I just need to know about the glass/digitizer
EDIT2:
OKAY, if you want to ignore all i've said so far here is my real question of what I need to know.
http://www.durapowerglobal.com/HTC-...iginal-With-Installation-Adhesive_p_1103.html
Is there only ONE digitizer/glass piece on any given HTC EVO 4G? Or is there two different types like the LCD?
Dropped my phone on asphalt today and got a big hairline crack across the screen . (Attached pics)
It really hurts cause i always baby this phone and just the rush to get to work and in my car, completely missed my pocket.
The screen is still responsive to touch and seems to be working normal thank god the lcd screen wasnt damaged and the digitizer didn't shatter.
Got a few questions t
1) just wanted to clarify that the digitizer lies ontop the LCD screen?
2) and that is all that needs replacing?(from damage seen in the pics)
3) also mine is branded just HTC(no carrier, so it's international GSM version?)
4) would it matter if i bought a replacement digitizer meant for the at&t version or not?
5) should be getting a one x that had some water damage and is no longer working. would the digitizer from this phone be a viable option for me to use as a replacement or should i just order the part online.( I really want it replaced fast and if i have to order the replacement it will take about a week to 2 weeks to arrive in my country
so apparently i can't attach any urls until i make 10 posts or i'd show u guys the part i wanted to order but its basically just a screen digitizer from ebay with tools needed for about $17.86.(is that cheap, good or expensive price considering the item + tools)
can you guys please search for it on ebay?the title of the post/part is Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Lens Replacement For HTC One X S720 + Free Tools
the link above is the item i'm looking to order for replacement. is it the right part i'm looking at?and would that be all i need or is there anything else i should add?also quality wise would it be top pick or are there any better options available?
Attached some pics also.Advice would be greatly appreciated.
You are unlikely to be able to separate the digitizer and lcd without damaging the LCD.
A water damaged phone may have a water damaged screen.
Search one of the other broken screen threads for more information.
I've replaced several screens on captivate.easiest way is get replacement(LCD+digetizer) from ebay,Google procedure.watch or read as many times as needed to feel confident to take apart phone.the hardest part is seperating LCD from phone(they use adhesive to secure LCD to phone).I used razor to carefully cut adhesive.
Most components are plug&play.just follow guide completely,u should be fine.
My LCD was $85 on ebay.good luck.

So......
With the recent breaking of my screen (and possibly part of the digitizer?) I started looking on Amazon for replacement screens. I really wanted to replace the screen with a red one when I thought how bad it would look with a blue back and frame. So, I started looking at a complete overhaul...
Is it hard to completely disassemble the phone? Also, for those that have good how-to reference guides, could you please consider posting links here?
Here is what I'm looking to do...
Red Chassis
^is this just the back (behind the battery cover) and NOT the actual frame itself? I think I'm looking at the wrong part here. The part that will make the actual base of the phone red.
Glass and Back Cover
^I don't see the Samsung logo so I'm not sure this is the glass I'm looking for.
Just getting an idea of what I'm getting myself into. I want to basically transform the entire phone to red. I think the chassis is the wrong part. Maybe if you know of another link, that would be great too.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
EDIT-
I think I'd actually have to buy THIS FRAME replacement and not what I originally posted.
Read about your misfortune. That sucks. I've looked into doing the same thing, and here's what I think your choices are:
1. Replace just the digitizer and screen. Not sure if your LCD is intact, but if it's undamaged, I think you can do this. (they have red too, i linked a blue one because I'm lazy)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pebble-Blue...857?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1f4e0a91
With this though, you will have to go through this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eneLvVe7DwE
Which quite frankly looks like a nightmare
2. Replace the screen, digitizer, and housing all at the same time. This is for the i9300, but I think all the hardware is the same and you can just transfer the circuit boards over and connect all the cables. ** I really don't know if it works like that between the two models however **
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251166200776?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
With that said, do you have a phone to hold you over??
Yeah, I was looking at these two videos:
Full Breakdown
Frame Replacement
and I was thinking to myself...hmmm, I can do that...until about 14 minutes into the frame replacement video in which he DESTROYS the LCD/Digitizer. I don't know for 100% certainty that the digitizer is bad yet, and I don't want to destroy it. Sucks, because I'd really like to do a fully overhaul and just convert it to red.
I guess I'll just go with the $20 blue screen replacement for now and see how that goes.

Cool. Let me know how it goes. Also, do you have a phone to use until then?

Going to have to pull out the old Nexus One, get a working ROM on it and use it for now. Glad I decided to keep it after retirement lol.
I just did a quick Google search and it appears that on amazon they sale one digitizer for all of the gs3 variants even the Korean one
I've dealt with a lot of iPhone OEM parts from random Amazon/eBay sellers, and judging from the quality of those I would strongly recommend you not mess with these.
The fitment on 95% of parts from China is horrible plus some! I can't say anything about the S3 parts that you have posted but my guess is they come from similar factories.
If you really want a red phone, I would research if a T999 motherboard would fit in an ATT red S3 and just switch them out.
Hi guys my son dropped my tablet and all the screen are shattered. Is there any way where we can find a replacement screen? How easy to replaced the screen? Thanks in advance.

Not good, I'm pretty sure the tablet has a clear optic adhesive under the digitizer glass and lcd so if you remove the glass the glue will be remove too and you will be left with a display that looks like it has a big air bubble under the screen...(someone correct me if I'm wrong)
see the thread here (for the 12.2 model but I'm pretty sure it's the same for the 8.4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p/replace-cracked-glass-tab-pro-12-2-t3251203
so you will most likely have to replace the digitizer glass+ lcd in one unit
for the full assembly you might be able to find these on ebay or aliexpress (china- might be official or knockoffs)
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20160117213008&SearchText=sm-t320+lcd
look for ones that include the LCD + Digitizer as one (usually around $100-$170) - also make sure the store has a good return policy and good feedback (maybe even good feedback for the item aswell), it is very hard to return to china so it's best to make sure before purchasing.
http://www.samsungparts.com/Products/Parts_and_Accessories/SMT320/Default.aspx
this place sells all the parts but you might need to email them to get specific part numbers - and well it's probably expensive
last but not least send it to Samsung and have them fix it, they will usually just swap out the lcd + digitizer with a new one.

Thank you. I guess its too expensive to make a screen replacement for the tab. Not really worth it to fix it for $200. Rather than buy a new tab. Hopefully i can find somwhere else where they charged not that much. Thanks again.

I would check around with local repair shops (ones that specialize in tablet and phone repairs- since they should be very familiar with the oca film), maybe if you can supply them with a replacement digitizer, they can do the rest of the repair for cheaper.
you can check youtube for the oca film process (type oca film or LOCA screen) and a bunch of videos will come up.

It's crazy, this tablet costs more now used than what I bought it new for.
I too have a broken digitizer... And my screen has been going bad.. So unless you live near a samsung service center, that option is out. I keep seeing people suggest the LCD + digitizer replacement, but there is not one guide on how to actually do it.
The only thing I could find was some German guy on YouTube for a digitizer (not a whole LCD) replacement. How do you go about doing the replacement? The generic answer has been look at iFixIt or YouTube, but there isn't anything for this model...

I broke my digitizer the same week I got mine. I found only one place online to buy one. Google it, it's from China. It was about $160.00ish.. I followed the tutorial for galaxy tab s on YouTube. It was very easy.
