could be any number of things with impact damage, the screen, the mainboard, blah blah blah, you will prob need it looked at proply
search HTC Desire Disassembly Video on youtube, i may not yet post links, since i havent posted enough replies yet.
i would disassemble it and check parts by parts, it doesn't look very difficult to open up the desire almost like open a beer can. good luck, you will need it.
(i would pay that 100£ to have it fixed)

i am watching my dad's cat this week while he is on vacation, last night i had my at&t 8525 on my lap while working on my laptop. the cat wanted to get on my lap and i said no. not wanting to give up he jumped one last time claws out. the cat jumped on the screen of the 8525 and cracked the screen. my dad refuses to help me out with the phone at all saying accidents happen. my question to you all is what should i do about the phone, replace, wait for 8925, chance a warnty exchange by saying its a power problem or pay the $200 or more to get the phone fixed at HTC?
second question, what to do with the cat?
You've broken only the digitizer or also the lcd?
If you don't know the way to answere to my question is:
can you see pictures on the screen but when you tap on it nothing happend or the phone does wat he want?
yes?
OK! you've broken the digitizer.. 25$ and then you have to change it with your hand.. it's not difficult but the first time it appear complicated and if you're interested i can post you the whole sequence (note: you've to solder a flex cable)
If you can't see anything on the screen or you see a large scratch like black ink you've to change the lcd+digitizer pack.. 100$ or someting less maybe (80$). The full pack (lcd+digi) is very easy to change, without solder or moving.. there is only srew and connector to open.
Let me know.
For the cat: have you got a car? do wat you have to do and then go to your dad with the corpse and say: "accidents happen"
Bye

What are you 9 years old still ? You're like a kid runnning to "mommy" saying... "mommy, I broke my toy... what do I do now ?!? will you buy me another one ?".
You have a broken phone. Your options are limited. Why are you asking us what to do ? Do you want us to make a decision for you ?!
Fine... Buy another 8525!

look the 8925 is comming out in a few days, and i dont have the money, but if i just had to buy another one i would go for that one, if i can fix it for cheap i want to do that. the reason my father is even involved is because its his cat, i would drown the thing but its not mine.
this is for the cat.
Dont know what to do about the phone, but here is something funny that you can try on the cat.
Instructions.
Get and empty can of favorite pop ( coke or pepsi )
Put in empty can 3, 4 or 5 little rocks or something that mekes noice when inside can. ( tape the can oppening if you want for lasting pleasure )
Get plastic bag, the ones you get when you buy your groceries.
Put the can with the small, rocks inside the groceries bag.
Grab cat and put each loop of the plastic bag on each of the rear legs of the cat. ( make shure the cat legs dont get untied from the loops of the bag for lasting pleasure )
Hope it helps, let mi know if it worked.
( by the way this is not going to harm the can in any way. but it will be super funny to see )
dude.. your phone looks bad... i agree with SegiRoPi's advice on what to do with the cat..
From what I have read, there's no hope for the phone or the cat! If U don't want to do the bag trick, then get it a pair of cement shoes and go to the nearest bridge...
FIX maybe

i found a site with instructions hot to take the phone apart, and i have a bid in for a new LCD and DIGITIZER. we will see what happens, its a hell of a lot cheaper thn HTC fixing it at 200+ then add tax.

lol, judging by those pictures...can you really expect people to believe the pressure of a cat did that, you had to have atleast jumped up freaking out, and the device hitting something hard caused that, come on now....
Step off, CD... I'd say a cat could certainly do that kind of damage by standing on it (mine could, anway).
That aside, I've replaced a screen and it can be done, although it's by no means for the faint of heart. It's pretty much a complete teardown to get to it.
Oh, and the LCD is definitely broken so forget about replacing the digitizer only (which I wouldn't advise anway unless you're really good with a soldering iron).
Is the cat still alive?
There are several places you can get a digitiser/screen kit (a quick search should find some links). You can download the HTC service manual and other useful info from Mike Channon's web site http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com/.
As for the cat, I think you know where to poke the broken parts
this is the second thread Ive read this morning which has some "smart arse" replys, I mean how constructive is

if you dont like the question just walk away dont fill the thread with nosence but i guess it gets the old post count up yep?
Agree with ratcom. Lay off the guy, he has had a bad enough day.
(this post too is a blatant attempt to increase my post count)
Get a new screen or pay to have it repaired. Considering it's your dad's cat and you were doing him a favor, he should at least pay some of it. That's what a responsible pet owner would do anyways.
As far as the cat, its hard to blame it as its just doing what your dad has let it do for however long he has had it. When a child has bad behavior, do you blame the child or the parent who has allowed the bad behavior over time?
Fixing the issue
i told you all in post nine how i was going to fix it, and the cat jumped with his claws out and hit the screen. i had a day to cool off and i found a way to fix it and its cheap. i gotta say thank you to the guy who said it could be done and peeked my intrest, and the guy who posted the link to the service manual.
the cat is unharmed, after all he is just a kitty, i will post a picture later in an edit
this is'nt the cat in question?

Lets be honest - who cares who's (what's) at fault - it's still a CAT - poke the broken glass up it's bum n tell it not to do it again...
shave it or snip one side of its whiskers shorter than the other.
Hey!
Can anyone point me to a place where i can buy a new display for my S710 ? As the one i have is broken..
~D
Oh and they have to ship worldwide..
If you want to replace it by yourself, you should have a clear idea that what's the lcd screen you want.
For safe sake, you'd better take apart you pda first to get the part number of the lcd screen, then you can get the right lcdscreen to replace it.
You can contact me after you get the number, i will check whether we have it in our stock.

Thanks! I will do that..
I need the exact same part and have been looking everywhere, nobody sells it. The only way I have found to repair it is through HTC who won't sell me the screen unless I pay them to fit it at £92 + vat! I paid £200 for the phone so there's no way I am paying that much. Anyone know where we can get one?
providing us with the part number would be helpful
any identification numbers on the lcd module itself would be helpful particularly a manufacturers name as there may be issues with using the same type of lcd but made by a different manufacturer
Okay i don't know if this can help others, but i have taken my S710 apart and after some sweat and a long time i got to the LCD display.. Heres what typed on it..
PN: 60H00088-00M
But there is no manufactor .. as far as i can see..
Hi, I'm looking for this LCD screen also. If anybody know's where to find, i'm in.
Best regards,
Jumea
hello all,
After spending some time to search for this parts, i got some information about it and may get some one for you, just wait some more days and i will inform you when i have get it.
Thanks

Have you found the screen parts?
Hello

Hope to hear from you
I replaced my HTC HD's lcd+touch+digitizer because i accidently crack my touch screen...
I found the set on e-bay as ''i594 Hot Genuine LCD screen for HTC Touch HD/T8282" for 53€ (app.77$) .
Dismounting the HD has not an easy job for me - cause I had no experience in such operations - but I need it. The screen responds to the touch and everything is normal but... NO BABKLIGHT!!!
I dismount the phone 2nd time, nothing...
I made a hard reset ,still nothing...
Was I a fool to buy from e-bay or I did something wrong? I used the service manual step by step...
If someone can help I 'll be pleased to listen...
I'd try the old cracked display to check and see if the backlight is working. If your old display is working, the new one is probably faulty.

Today I'll request a new set from this company -out of charge - and I hope that everything will - finally - work... Allthough I'll wait for at least another 20-25 days.
Do you have a link to the article you bought or the name of the seller? I bought a screen unit off of ebay as well (and the title of the article is almost identical) and mine was damaged as well. If it's the same seller, we might have a scam on our hands...
I demanded a replacement from the seller, but they said they couldn't send me one, because allegedly they sent all the units back to the original manufacturer to have them checked. Not sure if I can believe that though...
EDIT: My seller is "e2euro".
"My seller is "e2euro"."
... I'm afraid you are right...
Same scam... but no answer yet...
I'm but what should we do about it?

Sorry about my late answer - I was in Madrid for five days!
The seller does usually answer me within a day... I'm going to contact them once more to check on the current status of things - and if they don't offer a acceptable solution, I'm going to get my money back via paypal and complain on ebay! Not sure, if there is anything else we can do...
I've just dropped my phone and the screen has cracked. The touchscreen still works the same and there is none of them funny colours on the screen like when you break an lcd so think I have just broke the glass surrounding the case.
Any idea how much it would be to get this repaired, don't have insurance on it and it's the first phone I've ever broken (absolutely gutted)
Screen repairs are expensive. If you're brave you could always give it a go yourself, but i know it's around about 100£ or so for a screen repair on a device like the DHD.
If you send it to HTC make sure if you have a custom ROM to put the stock one back on and un-root and set the CID back to default.

I've had a look at the price for the part and its only £35 for the replacement part, I wouldn't mind having a try at fixing it just need to figure out how to do it as I cannot see any you tube videos on how to do this.

Do I have to do this if I sent it back as it is not a repair under warranty I am after. Mind you I have seen the prices they want to fix it and it's quite expensive
Took me long enough to figure out how to root it and then find a ROM I like, don't fancy the hassle of unrooting it

If the phone is still usable take out some insurance, buy a case (to prevent further damage), give it a month or so, then claim off the insurance.

thats what I've been looking at , will cost about 90 quid if I do it that way with the excess and insurance.
The part isn't too expensive and would give it a try but cannot find any guides on how to do it and looks much more complicated to do than the wifes blackberry screen which I replaced myself last year

If your going to do that (commit insurance fraud), you may wish to stop discussing it on a public forum.

from what I have read on this it's not the lcd that's broke it is just the glass screen digitizer.
That link you sent me does sort of have a step by step guide how to replace it, shame theres no video showing how to actually replace the screen but think I might have a go at it anyway
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???
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130599566...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1723wt_1163
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.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
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.
