Anyone know where i can get a new screen from for my desire in the UK. my phone fell off quite a low table yesterday & i could see the screen starting to leak, the touch glass on the outside is ok though. So if anyone could point me in the right direction to get a new screen id be greatful.
By the way its the old type screen so does that mean i have to get the same type ?
you could go to www.cnn.cn for AMOLED screens, just make sure your device supports it (you have to make sure you don't have the SLCD version).
*why don't you just send it in for repairs??*

If it's anything like my old G1, it would cost him literally about 9x less to buy a screen and fix it himself (T-Mo wanted £150, I did it myself with a screen from eBay for £20)!
mine is the amoled type but can i fit the SLCD screen if i wanted to ?
no one is really sure, but if you fit the slcd screen, you'll most likely have to flash a compatible HBoot.

Hi,
I bought a Desire few deys ago and unfortunately it has slcd screen.I have noticed with screen checker that on black screen there is back light bleeding on the top right corner and on the left side as well. is this normal? are there any other people with the same bleeding issues?It is very annoying,i thought for this money i get a good phone...
The bleeding is similar like on the How to know if your HTC Desire have Super-LCD screen? on youtube at 50 sec(sry i can't send url)
and i also attached a picture.
Can i exchenge it?Is it faulty or normal?
Thx for the answers!
I downloaded a display testing app, and didn't see this problem at all. I went into a completely dark interior room and ran it again, and could barley see a tiny bit of this in the upper right corner. Since I haven't noticed it once in actual use, even at night, I'm not going to worry about it. However yours, as shown in your photo, is much worse than mine. I am uncertain how the warranty folks would feel about it, but it's your call whether to try returning it. Does it bother you when using the phone?
Hi,
If i'm using it nightime i can see proper bleeding on the right and left side as well if the background is black otherwise it is ok.Daytime i can see only bleeding on the top right corner with black background, but i think it shouldn't be like that, that's why i need info from other people who has Desire with slcd screen. As you wrote you did not realised the bleeding only after i metioned it.
I am waiting for more info, after i can make a decision to take back the handset or it is normal.
Thx
Hi guys,
please share with me your feedbacks if you have SLCD screen. I am very confused now, that this problem is common or only my screen is faulty? Because if it is only for me I have to exchange the phone.
Thanks
Hi,
If it is really looking like on this photo... i dont need a slcd screen to tell you that this is not acceptable... return the phone.

I agree with this. If my Desire looked like that - it would definitely be going back to the seller.
As to test on my phone - I can't as I have a AOMELD version of the phone. However, I too, don't need to see an SLCD to know the above is simply not acceptable.
I have the SLCD screeen. I have the exact black light bleeding on my screen also .
If all the SLCDs are ike this ,a replacement phone also will be similar .So no point in returing .Also there is no return possible in INDIA . .
I'm sure this is normal for LCD screens, there is a YouTube video comparing an AMOLED N1 to an SLCD N1 and there's a lot of backlight bleed on the SLCD...
Hi
thanks for the answers.So no point to exchange it, this thing is normal if you have slcd screen...Very strange and annoying.I thought this handset is almost perfect, i am going to sell it now.
thanks
Looks like Samsung's decision not to supply the AMOLED screens to 3rd parties is going to be the downfall of the Desire...
Hi! I just got a HTC Desire (SLCD) and have the same problems with the backlight bleeding (in the top right corner and in the left side but more at the middle point). You concluded it is a normal issue, but however there is people saying they don't have the problem in their SLCD Desires... Perhaps it would be worth trying to exchange it? what do you think? is out there more people with no bleeding SLCD Desires?
SLCD
i have an SLCD but no bleeding that i have noticed mine is 4 days old so maybe they fixed something definitely return it
im so glad ive got an amoled desire in all my previous htc phones with lcd screens, i neva had any bleeding like that so i'd take it back and get a replacement
Hello!
I broke my HTC Desire, the screen stays black and I perceive two cracks on the LCD.
I tested with androidscreencast and the phone works properly, the touch too.
After some research on e-bay, I found a seller offering me two screens, I am unable to put links then the seller is called: antoine_tech
The problem is that it does not indicate whether they are or AMOLED displays DCL when my phone is original DCL.
My question is, is it possible to put an AMOLED screen instead of a DCL?
Thank you for your reply.
Probably not. Talk to HTC

Hi all-
I have a broken screen on my DINC. The screen is totally black. I want to order a new screen and need to find a way to tell what to order. How can I tell if it is LCD or amoled screen? I have the screen out already is there a way to tell from the #'s on the screen or somewhere else? I dont have the box either.
Oh, is there a place anyone can recommend ordering a replacement screen, either lcd or amoled?
Thanks
anyone know the answer to this? Thanks
I would like to know as well....
Look at the box of you phone should have a sku
My sku is ADR6500VW2 which is an AMOLED anything other than that will be SLCD

Problem with that is that he said he didn't have the box anymore.
If you did a rebate on the phone, did you by chance make a photocopy of the barcode label?
5th digit in the IMEI is the screen designation:
"3" = SLCD
"4" = AMOLED
Ah sorry, did not look at the forum section . That's how it is in the HTC Desire, maybe it's similar in the droid incredible.
there is the same serial that is on the box behind the battery my slcd says ADR6300vw3 at the top left corner of the label beneath the battery
If it is ADR6300VW2 it is amoled
thanks, I ordered one of Ebay a while ago. I actually cracked that one too. Now I am a pro at replacing screens
How do i know if my DInc is amoled or slcd? my screen smashed so i been using a rooted fascinate for the past few months, but miss my dinc. ordered new digitizer and housing on amazon today so once i get it im switching back. prob way too much info after that question,so back to the point. how can i find out what kind i have?
There should be a model number on the box the phone came in and on the back of the phone (under the battery I think). If it ends in 002 its AMOLED, 003 is SLCD.

Yeah there is a model number in the upper left corner of the label under the battery adr6300vw3 or vw2 will be there vw2 is amoled vw3 is slcd. You can also see this in settings> about phone> hardware information the first entry will be 003 or 002.
That's right, vw2 or vw3. Under settings>about phone its 002 or 003, but since his screen is smashed I don't think that'll help.
To add to that question, does it make a difference to the phone which screen is on it. Could you order an amoled and replace a slcd or vice versa?

It use to make a difference when it first came out for rooting it. If you rooted it with unrevoked it would brick your phone or wreck it in some way. When I just recently replaced my phone at best buy I had an amoled and it got replaced with an slcd unfortunately.
If you're replacing the digitizer though, it doesn't matter. The actual display screen is below that. Good luck replacing the digitizer, it's a serious PITA. Lots of sticky foam must be cut away and then you need to apply new sticky stuff. The display screen is easy enough, but the digitizer...PITA.
So while i was replacing the digitizer on this beauty, the lcd flex must have broken inside because it didnt seem like it so i have no display
also the optical button flex broke (Now im really screwed Tiny)
So im looking into ordering a samsung amoled screen from ebay even though my hardware version is the slcd version
Is it compatible or were there just screen changes and not motherboard changes when HTC said they're going to slcd for these devices?

I dont believe they are interchangable. Something to do with a graphics chip or something, ive seen this asked and answered somewhere here on xda before. Mabey someome who knows for sure will chime in.
Well this is unfortunate. And the fact that SLCD screens are more expensive than the amoleds online.
Can someone else confirm that they are not interchangable?

I would think they are but I don't know either way. The best thing for you to do is an xda or Google search into this.

I did some googling but couldnt find much. Found a lot of people asking but no one answering. I saw one thread where a guy said he did it, but when he turned it on he just got a pink screen. He wasnt sure if it was because of the screen type change, or if he just messed something up when putting it back together. Then the thread just died. The connectors on both are the same. I did notice though on some sites selling slcd replacements that there are 2 different types of slcd screen that shipped with the inc, and they make it sound as though they are not interchangable. You could try to contact htc, but who knows what would come of that.
They are not interchangable. AMOLED and SLCD. The way the pixels receive signal is different. AMOLED can turn individual pixels on/off while LCD can only change their color. They need different chips/drivers to work properly.
