scratched my HD screen what do i need to replace? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-Desire-HD-A9191-LCD-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Tool-/150557914159?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item230df3742f
or a full LCD screen? i thought it would just be the digitizer as this is the "screen" sitting above the LCD screen
anyone help
thanks

It depends on what's broken. If the LCD still works, then you should be fine with this.

Hi
as i said only othe screen is scratched its just on the surface the rest of the mobile is in perfect order basically the scratches are just cosmetic

I was afraid of that. But thx for the link! I was just wondering, what is a digitizer and how do I know if mine is broken?
The digitizer is a thin layer that detects your touch. That is usually together with the glass. So if you have cracked glass then you will have a cracked digitizer as well (usually). And replacing the LCD isn't that difficult. So basically if you can still select stuff on the screen your digitizer is fine.
Thx for the explanation. There are no cracks or anything, just discoloration.
I guess my digitizer works fine. It's just my AMOLED or lcd or w.e screen is crapping out.
Where can I buy a new screen?

I got mine on eBay, for I think about $40. If you want it to come faster make sure you buy from Canadia or the US. It takes a while to get here from Hong Kong.

Need SOLUTION: Please Help Lcd FIX

Hello, so here is my problem:
I have cracked my cornin gorilla glass , which i droped from from less then 1meter... such a nonsence since my last phone galaxy s was droped a dozen times and not a single crack, but that is not the point.
So now i have cracked glass, but digitizer touch, and lcd works fine, i have ordered a replacement glass. Only one thing bothers me, now in those places where crack had appeared there are yellow dots , not very bright and in other collors like black red you cant see them, only in white blue and yellow.
I know that these dots came from a presure, so my question is will they disapear if i will remove the cracked screen as it can keep the presure on them, and should i do it urgent or i can wait for my replacement and then remove it ? becouse basicaly i need the phone to use it, but if in case it will damage my phone to the stage when those dots will not disapear i will not risk it.
What suggestion can you tell me ?
Kind regards
You'll be lucky to separate the glass from the LCD, I'm afraid.

Well this did not answear my question
Ok, I'll try again. Removing the cracked glass is likely to destroy your LCD.

well the question was about the yellow dots, how to remove the glass i watched on youtube and it is easy, just need to give some heat to make glue more flexible and it will easily pop off.

You can't replace the front glass alone without destroying the LCD. Yellow spots will be the least of your worries believe me. Do let us know how you get on.

well i will get my glass in 2 weeks, so will write you of my progress later, but i would like to know will those spots dissapear if everything will go well, or should i order a new lcd... the dots are not so big but still.
About a year ago I dropped my Dell streak from around 30cm. Because of the way it landed this cracked the gorilla glass.
So I ordered just the glass part, as like yourself the rest worked fine.
I stripped it down and took the screen out then set about separating the glass from the screen. I also did as you have and watched various YouTube vids to assist this.
Let me tell you, from my experience it was 2 hours down the pan. I did get the glass off, after much pulling, tugging, wiggling, heating and cooling. Only to find in the process that the actual screen underneath had ended up only fit for the bin. So I had to order the full assembly instead, this was fitted no problem.
Just my opinion though, if you want to tackle it go ahead, its your phone.
As for the yellow dots, can't help you on that I'm afraid.

Repairing a cracked screen

Well search is down at the moment, so here goes: I have an Optimus G that finally met it's demise. My glass screen is completely shattered but the image underneath is still clear and no discoloration. Obviously it doesn't respond to touch anymore. Do I only need to purchase a digitizer to do the repair or should I get the digitizer+lcd replacement? I just need a simple clarification.
Digitizer and lcd. The lcd on a factory phone is 'glued' to the Digitizer I believe. I couldn't get the lcd off my original evo anyway

He might as well. Although I'm sure you can heat and remove the glass to attach a new glass if the LCD is still good, the price on the glass for the LGOG is a bit steep as its not just a piece of glass, its also the digitizer. A big difference from a Galaxy. I can easily get a glass for my Note at like 10-20 bucks and just glue it on and be all set. That is not the case for the Optimus G, the glass works as the digitizer which I'm assuming why it's a bit expensive.
Edit: I just looked into it some more and it definitely is a complicated task. In all the how to vids they replaced the whole thing, glass and LCD. I guess that's why it's hard to find just the glass. Most sellers sell the glass and LCD together already.
Edit # 2: I finally found just the glass for $38. It actually was 80 last night but I guess the seller dropped the price.

^^^That's what you need. However if you do attempt it be aware that there's no how to videos on separating the glass from lcd. So after heating up the phone to remove it from the housing you're more than likely going to have to reheat the screen again to begin the glass/LCD separation. Oh and you might need some LOCA adhesive and a UV light to bond the new glass in.

you need both >> however i would go for an OEM one ....
i bought a cheap one from china, the ones without the LG logo on top, and it sucks. There is like a small strip that doesnt respond to the touch, its fine because i didnt notice until i started playing with "sketchbook mobile" but still. and it you look at it at an angle through the light its not smooth and perfectly straight like the original one, AND when you tap SLIGHTLY hard .. you see that liquidy effect ... not cool! .. not annoying either .. just a heads up if you do decide to fix it>

Broken LCD?

Hello Guys.
I dropped my phone today and when I lifted it up my screen was blue/black. I pulled the battery out and turned it on. Most of the screen is black and can't see anything. There are strips of blue pixels here and there.
What exactly is broken and what do i need to replace. I obviously need to replace the Glass frame/screen, LCD ... do I need to replace the digitizer as well?
If anyone knows about this please help me out.

As long as I know any T999 i535 I747 will be compatible except I9300. I dont know why but some T999 users havd problems.
Is a good deal indeed. But If you can find some with frame includes will ve a very sweet deal.

I know sound expensive but you only will have to change the mainboard and components very easy without any need of stick or glue to install it on the frame.

Yeah I heard it should work and is cross compatible. But my question is if on that eBay link.. Are they selling everything I need to fix my problem or do I need to buy something else? I
It says: 1. Front Glass Touch Screen Digitizer Panel + LCD Display Screen pre-assembled without frame
That's all I need ?
Thanks

Yes, the only concern I have is the glue used to join the frame with the screen, if isn't professional installed this will be falling soon or getting dust an sand under the screen. Thats why I recommend the entire frame and screen set...

Unfortunately I don't have that money right now so I will settle with the cheaper method. I will try and see how it goes.

Cracked Digitizer and LCD Damage

hello everyone,
My friend's OG Pro was drop but can still power on (vibrate upon charging). The device has a 1 inch hairline crack on its touch screen digitizer but the LCD only shows a blank/no picture display when turn on.
I find this weird cause in most cases I notice that OG Pro LCD is pretty much durable even if the digitizer has a small web cracked.
Has anyone here have similar situation as my friend' phone?

The same has happened to me. I have seen people with bigger cracks on their phones while mine looked like a scratch and would not show nothing on the screen. Had it replaced and all is back to good. I guess it depends on where the crack is.

hello ricanares,
Did you try to re-connect if maybe the LCD cable connector was dislodge after the drop of your phone ?
