I have 2 droid incredibles. The first has water damage to the motherboard so i purchased a broken one online. after i had switched out the touch digitizer and the lcd(the working one is amoled) and put it on the good motherboard the phone will vibrate once and will not boot. using the cracked screen the phone came with it will boot all the way(i can hear it say droid). I am sure all the connections are good. I'm pretty sure both phones are the amoled model. the one i bought broken is an adr6300vw(original) and the water damaged one i have is an adr6300vw2(also amoled) the only thing i can think of is that the broken lcd phone was flashed back to stock using an ruu and was flashed for the slcd and not the amoled. if thats a possibility. if anyone has any insight or suggestions please help.
thanks in advance.
Had the same problem
I had one each, an incredible with a cracked LCD and an incredible with a cracked digitizer. Took the digitizer off of one, and replaced it, but put the wrong motherboard in. My edumicated guess is that the mother boards are programmed to a specific LCD screen and won't work apart from each other.

Just a heads up to anyone about to replace the htc one x digitizer lens, it is not user seperatable from the lcd screen, It will break at the weekest point which is the lcd itself,
damage will occur as shown in the video below (person in video fails to admit he damaged the screen during the recording)
I would go through insurance for ease or if you really want to replace yourself get the lcd and digitizer already put together on ebay as even lifting the lcd off the chassis will crack the fragile screen no matter how careful you are.
Haha he ripped the screen right off lol.

The maker of this video posted it here to a while ago and he did mention to order lcd+digitizer in one and not screen or digitizer seperately
Thanks i did not know that, me and my friend followed the guide (stupidly didnt watch the whole way through first) and his screen ripped apart at the same time as the video user, just letting other people know so they dont make the same mistake
Ok, so the phone turns on, LCD screen even flickers on once in a while, it won't stay on though. And everything looks just how I left it. So I'm assuming the mother board is good, the LCD is bad/fried and the digitizer glass is ok. Would that be a safe assumption?
Now, I had two other Incredibles, one with a cracked LCD, one with a cracked digitizer. Swapped out the digitizer and as long as we put the right mother board in that went with the LCD, it worked great. So I'm assuming I can't just go buy an incredible off ebay with a cracked digitizer and swap out LCD screens? And will a "New" LCD replacement screen work? Thanks!

I don't see why another LCD screen wouldn't work, but it's really hard to say with this kind of thing without just trying it, which is what people want to avoid because throwing parts at it costs money. Its not necessarily true that the motherboard on the device is ok. Its certainly possible that it could be fried, but in a way that allows power to still get to the LCD but not control it properly. Another option would be, since you will be taking it apart anyway, inspect the motherboard or other circuitry if you can see it and look for burn marks on the board that would indicate a short circuit. You can't always see them, but it would tell you if it were bad if you can see it.
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.

Having used my atrix for over a year now and the more scratches i get on my screen the more unresponsive the screen becomes.. couple that with oily/dirty hands and the screen response just go crazy all the time.
Everytime that happens I notice i get better response after wiping the screen clean and toggling the sleep switch.
Then i tried installing one of those matte screen protector around $2.- on wher i am, problem solved, no more glitchy touch screen response

Wish it was that simple. The plain fact of the matter is.. Motorola screwed up and put in a low grade digitizer (2 point multi touch) with bad manufacturing process meaning that most Atrix out there will have problems with connections between the mainboard and digitizer causing glitches, problems with sensing and the capacitance buttons not working.
The atrix digitizer is great coupled with the fact custom roms here make the phone support 5 touch.
Atrix digitizer can go up to 8 but gets buggy.
I had touch issues only after having a broken digitizer (dropped it) for 3months.
And yea I noticed for awhile now turning off screen resets touch.
Your screen protectors adhesive probably sealed the scratches temporarily which has been linked to the issue that and stops your greasy fingers tampering with it.

Actually, a tech, told me that the Atrix has a factory problem, and its not a bad production of the digitizer, its a fault with the Motherboard, causing it to damage the digitizer. Thats why it gets fixed when you put your phone to sleep, because its the board's fault, not digitizer's. Sooner or later, the board will cause a dead stripe on the digitizer, with no fix available except for replace the digitizer, and then if you do, after a couple of months, it will damage the new digitizer. At my local repair shop, they won't carry that digitizer anymore because when they used to, customers that fixed their Atrix would come back with a dead stripe and say that they sold a bad/low quality product, but the truth is that its not the digitizer fault.
So you are telling us that when the first digitizer issue appear we should seriously think about replacing the whole phone instead repairing it? (Obviously if warranty is void)
Yes, make sure to carry the insurance on atrix first gen models. They are all faulty. I had the problem with the digitizer/mobo that developed into the lines where nothing would be touch sensitive on the line. Our was like a break in the middle of the screen and a multi touch test app showed the phone thought two fingers were being used if you tried to Swype on the line or if you Swyped across the line it would drop you touch like you lifted your finger at the line. This made the phone touch screen useless and the insurance sent me atrix 2 as a replacement.

Both are correct.
Non reinforced mini flex ribbon on a flimsy connection mounted on another connection. Many points of failure. However a fresh oem digitizer, good repair, dab of silicone, and not dropping your phone can fix most of the issues before they happen.

I've replaced my digitizer since I bought it broken. I don't seem to have the same issues so I agree with the last comment.
I have two motorola atrix and both have fantastic touch.. One I used with broken digitizer for over a year without any issues whatsoever. Recently replaced the digitizer on the broken one, and still going strong.
Hey guys!
Yesterday, I tried to fix a HTC desire which had a broken digitizer. I bought a new digitizer and followed the instructions here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566313
After I assembled the phone again, I felt the vibration when I turned on the phone, but the screen didn't turn on. The buttons were lightning up as well so I guess everything is fine, but the LCD.
I think I did everything good during the assembly, and I even tried to do it like 4 times, but everything is the same. What can be the problem? Did I screw up the LCD?
Should I try to buy an Amoled for the desire and put it in?
Thank you in advance!
What screen did your desire have before? If it was an Amoled, then you should have bought an Amoled replacement, not a lcd one.
