Hi guys,
So I scratched my screen, and one tried using Displex to get rid of it.
After many many minutes sent last night and tonight, I've given up hopes of Displex working, or of finding a way to get rid of the scratches.
So, I'm looking for a digitizer now. The cheapest ones I can find are over 30 dollars on eBay.
Know any other places that sell them at better prices?

Hey you should just goto your dealer or carrier from whom you purchased the phone and ask him to replace the digitizer i think its better to pay a little more than getting a cheap digitizer as it may just spoil your entire desire experience or if the scratches are bare minimum you could put a scratch guard on the screen and continue using it. i would recommend contacting HTC service center or your dealer if the scratches are really deep than purchasing of e-bay or something.
Or if it's insured just oops dropped it!! -- make sure accidental damage is covered by the insurance first lol
EDIT[] the ones from Ebay are sometimes for cheap chinese clones so better to go to official place if this is the route you are going to take or wait for someone to respond that knows a reputable ebay seller

This might not count as an accessory, but I'm looking to buy a replacement 0003 glass for my Evo. This isn't a separation issue; rather my friend dropped it and cracked the glass. I know you can buy replacement glass and digitizer for the iPhone for about $15, but the only thing I can find for the Evo is $130! That includes the full upper part of the phone, but I don't think I need all that. Unless that's all you can get, of course.
Even the places I know of like Repair Universe and DealExtreme that have other HTC parts, don't have anything for the Evo.
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks,
TJ
I assume he's no longer your friend now.

If its still within your 30 days call and add the insurance! There isn't any other option but the $130 piece, right now at least. More will become available but that's your only option now.

I got it on the day after the launch, so it's been longer than 30 days.
I guess $130 is better than $600, or whatever the replacement cost is.
Thanks.

Any news?
What did you end up doing? I just shattered mine.
u can get the replacement glass on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HTC-EVO-4G-...881258?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item23097a8aea
but it's way easier to replace the whole glass+lcd assembly:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-EVO-4G-OEM-...019912?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cafb6a348
obviously way more expensive though.
if you get the glass+lcd replacement you have to get the right type, there are 2 types (one for novatec and one for epson, they have different connectors). i think that seller has both types but check with him first
Something fell off my shelf and feel directly on my phone earlier, cracked the screen to hell. Actual screen part is alright, but the glass is destroyed.
I have been looking for a few hours trying to find a place that has them in stock but to no avail. I am looking for a US or other North American based seller as I do not have the time to wait for a shipper from Hong Kong or elsewhere in Asia.
Does anybody know of a website or specific seller on eBay that is reputable or just has them in stock, any help at all would be very appreciated.
Thanks

the only way youre going to get the a super amoled screen replacement is contacting samsung.... samsung does not distribute their super amoled screen. other sellers "Claim" its super amoled,but tis really just a cheap LCD screen.

I would be willing to take a look at these sellers. I've gone through Google and previous posts here rather thoroughly but cannot find a place that has them in stock.
+ 1. Where to buy? ETA on back in stock?
Bought my replacement screen from mission repair.com. Broke the keypad cable so had to order from ebay out of nj.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I used this vendor: http://www.repairsuniverse.com/samsung-vibrant-t959-lcd-touch-screen-replacement.html
But they're out of stock at the time.... Be sure to be very careful with the ribbon attaching the captivate buttons to the screen, and in general, just take dismantling the phone slowly, and it'll go fine.
got mine from ww.globaldirectparts.com/category-s/6611.htm
it was way cheaper back then though. $65 or so ...
does anyone know if the capitvate screen would fit on the vibrant??? please let me know
I just broke the GPS connector of my vibrant. It still works fine except for GPS. I can sell my vibrant w/ broken GPS at $65 + shipping from California. Do u want it? Pls send me a message, if someone's interested in my phone. Thx.

the guy who posted above you they sell parts for all phones
I recently bought a screen for a friend's captivate from http://stores.ebay.com/sbstoreonline. The quality of the screen was the same as on my vibrant and the price was right ($62.99). I'm certain that what I bought was a Samsung part adn not a knockoff. The double sided sticky tape was applied to the back of the screen - all I had to do was peel off the plastic covering the tape and lay it down (I saw some adds that show a seperate adhesive kit).
Shipping took about 3 weeks...
Any one know where in the UK I can get a replacement LCD screen on the cheap in the UK? I dropped my Defy when getting in the car and ran it over. DOH.... The outside of the phone doesnt have a single dent or scratch and the phone is still completely usable its just the LCD has cracked across the length of the screen.
Really? im the only person in the world to have a cracked lcd screen on the defy???? lol. has any one got a broken defy they wannaget rid of for partsmust have a working lcd of course lol
the cheapest way is to get one one ebay and replace it by yourself
I did try ebay there was only one american seller selling them and it was postage within usa only so it was no good as im in the uk.

that is a LCD Display Lens Panel or touch screen digitizer as it is also known, I dont need that as mine is still intact. What I need is the actual LCD panel/display. Thanks for trying tho.
yeap, wrong item
you can try order from here http://www.wirelesspartsinc.com/motorolamb525charmlcdscreen.aspx not cheap
nice find, thank you. but with shipping its gonna be over $100 dollars, i think i will just hold off till there are more available here in the uk so the price comes down a bit. hopefully lol.
so i contacted my local motorola repair center and they said a new screen will cost around £59 so got it booked in i thought it was quite a good price as to buy one of a internet shop if your lucky to find one selling the screens would work out closer to £100 with postage and then you gotta fit it yourelf.
Title says all. I was goofing around and had my phone in my pocket and landed on it cracking the screen in the corner. Digitizer still works but where can I find a real honest to god OEM replacement screen?

I don't want to get a cheap ripoff replacement but this looks legit (I guess) Anyone care to give an expert input on if I should get this or not?
Much thanks in advance. (Back to my Moto RAZR V3 til then)
are you sure you broke the digitizer, the lcd screen, or both?
the digitizer should cost you around $20
what you posted is the actualy lcd screen
I would buy from a US seller just avoid any complications.
check the feedback rating on the ebay seller you are buying from
chances are, they have sold the exact prduct before. See what other buyers have to say about their purchase
The digitizer is fine. I checked the function using droid explorer screencast. I cracked the LCD.
I just don't want to replace the screen with some knockoff poor quality LCD.
Thanks for the reply.
Then buying any lcd screen on ebay should be fine. You should understand that generally people on ebay aren't trying to sell you fake or non quality products, unless its blatantly a scam or too good to be true. Buy from a US seller just in case something goes, its easier to deal with. China and other overseas sellers may be able to get you the same product for less, but transit times can take a while. And paypal only has a 45 day grace period for opening disputes to get your money back, in case things go terribly wrong.

And there's many teardown guides on youtube to get you going. Easy peasy, as long as you're gently and can handle things carefully
By the way, Use the thanks button. A lot better than saying thanks in a post
Gotcha.. I whacked that button for you.
Tearing into the phone won't be an issue. The seller I have linked above is stateside so I will go ahead and purchase that and hopefully be tossing the V3 into backup phone status.
Dropped the phone onto the carpeted floor at work and it cracked the screen.
Anyone replaced the screen on a galaxy nexus yet?
Thinking of getting a new chassis/frame/body as well to make it look brand new again
Anyone replaced anything on theirs
Bits are on eBay for about £25
Thanks

I dropped mine on day 15 and it landed face down, cracked like an egg.
Found a screen on eBay for $60, replacement was easy peasy!
Let me know if you need any pointers.

I could use some pointers. Mine is also cracked.
Replacement costs are 191 from Samsung, and they pay for shipping.

I just got my Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) replaced and am so glad I have Asurion insurance. Yeah it costs like $6 a month, but when I needed a new phone it came in really handy.
I set up a claim online (mine was lost/stolen but this could apply to yours too) and then paid $99 and got a replacement (probably a refurb) the next day. It was actually less than 24 hours from when I set up the claim online and when my phone arrived via UPS. That's pretty good service.
So if you would spend $60 on only a screen but have to do major surgery to install it, maybe it would be a better deal to pay $99 and get a whole new device.
Id really appreciate some tips on changing the glass on the GN. I have watched a few youtube clips on removing the frame/chassis/body but none on removing the glass.
Any tips or pointers on changing the glass would really help me incase i really screw it up!
The small bit of glass which fell out looks like it was held in by double sided tape. Is it a case i need a heat gun and just gently heat the glass and pull it off to replace it?
Thanks

My advice is buy the glass with digitizer already attached. I did the swap last month using glass+digitizer and it was very easy to do. I got it from this seller on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190766646656
Afaik the front glass is fused together to the digitizer making it very difficult to replace, a heat gun could be used but be careful. As a few other posters mentioned, buy the glass with the digitizer attached already. Much faster and easier repair. I will be doing it soon as I have purchased a cracked but otherwise working i-9250 nexus.

So you pay 6 bucks a month and had to pay 100 bucks..... I don't pay 6 a month and a digitizer with LCD was 60 and was far from "major surgery" east peasy as said before

I must be damn lucky, accidentally yanked the usb cable while half asleep, fell flat onto the screen, looked at it after a few hours, it's like nothing have happened and there is only a small mark on my screen protector..
I replaced just the glass on mine. Its really not that difficult, just be patient with a blow dryer and slowly peel the glass off. I did it on my gnexus and on an S3. Its much cheaper and really not difficult. Just stuck the new glass on with existing adhesive that was there.
