Touchscreen broken - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, my Wildfire's touchscreen was broken, so i ordered a new one. But by disassemling the phone, i ripped the cable for the button-backlight in two parts. So, i thought that it wouldn't be that bad, i assembled the phone and put it on, but the touch panel didn't work. HBOOT says "touch panel-fail".
I'm not really sure if the panel i ordered was the right one. I've got that phone from ebay and there was already an unoriginal panel built in, the seller has damaged the connector of the replacement panel.
So how can i find out if there has to be a panel with or without the IC in?
And can the backlight-thing be the problem or is the new screen just broken/the wrong type?

can nobody help me?

Try looking on google.. if u need the name of the original panel tell me how to check it and im going to tell u ^^

i damaged my ribbon connector that's connected to the main board (the one with the clip lock) on my mini too
It sucks hey? the clip lock's all i need thats the thing that broke, the cable seems in good shape. any ideas??

Source for Titan/XV6800 LCD Replacement?

Hi,
I managed to break the LCD (the touch screen itself is not cracked) on my two-month-old XV6800 . I took it back to the Verizon store and they were really helpful but they determined it's not under warranty and that's understandable. So, I want to buy a replacement LCD for it. Has anyone purchased a replacement LCD before for their HTC device, and if so, from where? I Googled for about an hour this morning and couldn't find one (I have to admit that I don't know if other models' screens are compatible though). I found one on eBay but the seller is in Hong Kong and I'd really rather pay a few bucks more and get it from someplace in the US that can ship it overnight to me. I think I can handle the actual repair myself.
Thanks
If you can not find it, you can come to our online store to purchase it.
Thanks

Similar problem
I have the same problem (Dog bit the screen). Thanks for the links. Has anyone found directions on how to replace the LCD?
To the other person doing this... let me know how it went. Also, is the touchscreen and LCD sold as one unit ? I understand they are separate items and both may be damaged.
Thanks for any help !!!!
I need a replacement ribbon cable which connects the screen to the keyboard (the one that slides back when you open and close the kboard). Anyone knows where to find it?

Flex Cable change gives errors PLEASE HELP

Hi dear developers!
I got a Touch Pro 2 from a friend, it's a GSM device he bought in Germany (O2). I changed a few parts but messed the main flex cable. The part from the power button is not connected anymore, a clean cut through, no repairs possible as far i think. So i bought a new one over ebay from Hong Kong. The seller told me it's for a GSM device BUT the cables do not look the same. The production date is 2008 and the damaged one was produced 2009. I built everything together and now the big surprise:
Phone boots normally but when the Home screen appears, it is always in landscape mode. No matter if the phone is closed or the keyboard open. I can only change the screen over advanced tools, but after soft reset again only landscape mode. The buttons for calling also do not work (those two down on the screen when you want to call someone or end a call ---> no reaction).
A hard reset and new ROM (energy) didn't change anything. By the way, the keyboard only fires up after pressing a button. Before it automatically lightened up after sliding.
What the hell is wrong now, did the send me a CDMA cable? Where is the difference ? Please help me i do not want to spent another 30 bucks again for a proper flex cable.
Edit: I disassembled the phone again and took a closer look on the flex cable: the lower part (with the LCD connection etc) looks quite same except for 3 or 4 transistors and their position on the PCB. The upper part with the earpice looks way different. The positioning of the single parts is not the same. But how can that interfere ? Guess there is no problem with the mainboard or the LCD (which is brand new).
Here are some pictures

OK, i solved the problem. The guy who sold the flex cable sent me a older one as I described. This thing was fully responsible for the errors. Bought a new one and everything works fine now^^ So if you ever want to change your Flex cable take good care which one you buy (especially on ebay!)
Btw: The display and the digitizer are glued and IF you want to replace any of those two, do yourself the favor and buy the complete bundle !!! I made the mistake and tried to replace the digitizer and cracked the display. There is no way as far as I can say, that you can manage this.
Bye
Can u post the seller info? Im in the same situation w a different phone... Thanks

[Q] Help!! broken lcd flex cable connector on motherboard!

so the off white tab that holds the pins in place broke off....and also some of the pins broke off. So im wondering if this is completely impossible to fix? is there anyway to rig the lcd screen to turn on still or am i screwed? btw it is the smaller flex cable version. i dont have a sprint upgrade for a good year and a half so im not trying to wait that long and my htc hero is getting quite annoying to use compared to my modded evo which was gloriously fast.
Hey did you ever get this fixed?? The same thing just happened to me...
A new digitizer for the Evo only costs $20-$30. Just buy one and replace it. Problem solved.
Hey,
It is possible to fix you just need a new lcd screen or digitizer here are some ebay links for them I am not sure what one you need..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Evo-4G-...ultDomain_0&hash=item519bf4265e#ht_2188wt_944
But just replace it dont try to rig it or anything it will cause more damage then good.
I hope I helped If I did please hit the thanks button,

Screen not responding inc. capacitive buttons after flat cable replacement.

Hi all,
I just replaced the flat cable of the phone, the one that connects the two phones parts together. The phone was having issues with the display when going to landscape-mode and the mic stopped working recently so I replaced it following this guide:
Anyway the display problem is solved by replacing the faulty flat cable but only a new problem occured.. The screen does not respond including the capacative buttons and the big scroll button, its looks like the whole display unit with all its buttons is not working. Any suggestions? I will be taking it apart again and check if all cables are well suited but besides that someone might recognizes the problem
Thanks in advance!
Could be bad connections, the new cable you put in could be bad or by coincedence the digitizer went
