[Q] Cracked screen still works fine

Hello all,
I've dropped my HTC desire and the screen is neatly cracked. However it works fine, responds to all touch and commands.
After having read the forums I understand that the screen is basically two parts and I've broken the glass bit but not the actual screen (I think).
I've never opened up a phone or done any hardware repairs and not confident about doing so.
How should I get it fixed? Go to some shop? Send it off to HTC?
I'd really appreciate your help as am a design student and can't afford a big bill. It wasn't insured but they never pay out anyway do they! I was tempted to insure it now hahaha but would prefer your help.

Generally its better to replace the digitizer and lcd screen, but if you ring htc up they should tell you the best course of action, it might be a pricey repair tho

[Q] Huge crack across screen!Need some advice.

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.

broken screen

I have dropped my phone.Phone's screen has been broken.But touchscreen is working.There are several replacement parts.''LCD'', ''frame'', ''touch screen digitizer''. Which one do i need to buy? Only the 'touch screen digitizer' is enough? (please answer in intermediate english level)

Welcome to the family..
Dear this is nothing I broke my 2 touch screen digitizer in last 1 weeks.
As I first purchased a digitizer and contacted a very good and reputed repair person from my city he tried the repair and successfully replaced my digitizer but unlucky me it didn't worked at all as he already warned me before doing the repair that the fixing of display and digitizer is very close and it might will not work and I would have to replace full panel in this case. But I took the risk and told him to have a try but no luck. He advised me to go to the service centre and get the whole panel repair there and I had to do that but my luck is not good with this phone just after two days of repair I broke it again.
This is my experience with the digitizer I'm not sure whether there are anyone in this forum who successfully managed to repair the digitizer.
Hard luck mate.

Z1C broken digitizer

Hello
Today my Z1C digitizer got broken (cracked), it got broken without any drops, I suspect phone bend or something, but I can't find real reason why it cracked in 1 place.
LCD is in perfect condition. I wanted to order digitizer however everyone offer complete expensive set (digitizer with lcd etc).
Is there possible to repair phone by only replacing digitizer or Z1C have digitizer integrated with lcd, or there is something why all offer full set only ?

My screen developed a hairline crack, the same as you, I couldn't work out how it happened, I didn't drop it or anything.
I raised a call to Sony support to say that the top half of the screen had stopped responding (true), didn't mention crack as it was almost impossible to see.
After doing the ususal 'plug it in to PC Companion and repair' guidance from the helpdesk, it was decided to send it back to service centre.
7 days later my phone was back with repaired screen, no cost.
I think Sony are brilliant for repairing screen damage, I don't know of any other manufacturer that does that.
Try to get your phone repaired on warranty.

[Q] Screen Replacement

So I dropped my phone, screen cracked. Pretty upset about it considering it was only dropped from about a foot.
Anyway, looking for repair options. I have insurance and heard LG is another way to go but looking for a different option.
My screen is cracked, digitizer responsed only where their is no cracks, LCD is fine.
Looking up repair places, they want to replace the whole assembly LCD/Screen, so my question
how difficult is replacing just the screen? i'd say I do pretty well at DIY
anyone have a good repair person who just does the screen or anyone will to sell your services to me?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I replace my wife's G3 screen that was very damaged from the impact, I bought the part on ebay for $107 about two months ago, I replaced the screen, no to hard to do.
