Unfortunately I smashed the digitizer on my Desire HD and I need a replacement.
I see various internet sites selling spare digitizers and/or touch screens. My questions is: Are these original components, i.e. same ones HTC is using in their devices or they are cheap knock offs that might have problem with quality??

Hi.
I broke my digitizer on my Desire (white model with SLCD, if that matters ), and is now looking for a replacement.
My current digitizer is a Synaptics 940-682-1RA, and it says "A6" with large letters inside a white square printed on the cable. Lots of replacement digitizers are available on eBay, but they all have different model numbers / two-letter code in the square (J4, B9, D4 to name a few).
Google does not seem to return much information on compatibility between different digitizers, so I wanted to ask here
Which digitizers can be used in various models - and more specifically, which can replace the one I'm using?
Hi there, did you have any success with replacing your digitizer? I am in the same situtation with the same digitizer part number. I ordered a replacement but had not realised there different versions out there.
Regards,

Hello I have a HTC evo that just got run over by a car and I need to change the LCD screen + digitizer.. when looking for a replacement on ebay I noticed there are 2 kinds of flex connectors, one is wide with 47pin, the other is narrow with 25pin. Without opening a non functional phone to psychically check which type of connector I have is there any other way to find out which kind I need?
Also does anyone know the best place to buy a replacement from a US seller?
Thanks in advance!
As stated in multiple threads before, the ONLY way to tell is to open the phone up and look. There are no other signs to see which is which, you just have to open it up and look.

Has anyone replaced their HTC One V lcd or digitizer?
I cracked the digitizer and I am trying to avoid paying for an overpriced repair by doing it myself. Before I order the digitizer I wanted to know if anyone has done this because there is a lack of documentation from a google search, a lot on the One X and S but no V.
Well, getting my One X screen replaced by a local company didn't go very well. Ended up with one of the cheapo ones where the digitizer is not bonded to the LCD (at all), so you get an "inverse bubble" in the middle of the screen if you press on it (to clean it for example). Now it's sticking and stops the touchscreen working! Clearly I will get a refund, but now I need alternatives. Tried a few other repair companies, but none will say if they use a proper machine-bonding method to join the LCD and digitizer.
Have any of you sent your One X off to HTC for a screen replacement? They refuse to give any kind of quote over the phone - just that if I have it picked up and looked at, and I then decide the repair cost is too high, they charge £30.00 to return the phone.
Alternatively, do any of you know a supplier (that ships worldwide), that has the genuine bonded digitizer+LCD screen? ebay is full of the cheap ones that are separate.

I'm pretty sure HTC charge around £170 for a new display, although they may charge more given it has already been repaired poorly. As far as I know they get the displays already bonded as one unit.
To be honest, you might have been better off selling it on Ebay for spares and purchasing another brand new phone, there is one on Ebay with a completely smashed screen at almost £200.00 with 12 bids and still time to go, so they are in demand even when damaged.

Well, as luck would have it I tried replacing my broken glass but damaged the black screen that attaches to the LCD in the process. I guess I need a whole new digitizer assembly now. Where is the best place to get them? Looks like all the different parts stores around the web (Amazon, ebay) all have generic knock offs. I'm OK with that as long as they work, but the reviews don't ever seem stellar. Any advice? Thanks
