Hello,
I had to replace my glass screen since it cracked and I was able to do that, but in the process, I also screwed up my SLCD. I have the Verizon version of the phone with an SLCD and it seems I need the Sony version. Can someone confirm which one I would need to order in order to replace my SLCD? I don't want to end up ordering the wrong one. Most on eBay seem to be for the TMobile version.
Thanks

I wish I knew. I ordered an SLCD from HTC Repair Parts cause my phone is hardware version 3 but the SLCD Doesn't work cause it doesn't have the right ribbon cable connection. They can't seem to track down what I need and they tell me that their screen works for everyone else.
I compared the connection in my AMOLED phone to the SLCD and they had the same connection so just for Grins, I pulled the AMOLED out of my phone and put it in the hardware version 3 phone and all it did was show a bunch of random colors but mostly green. I'm lost on this one. I must have a freak.
I believe there's 2 versions of the SLCD screen: Sony and Samsung. You just need to contact the seller and ask which version they have, if they don't specify.

Hi guys,
sorry if they has been answered elsewhere, ive been searching the web for days. I got a brand new HTC desire a couple of weeks ago and preceded to drop it, shattered the digitizer and damaged the LCD screen. I decided to do the repair myself and changed the parts no problem. The problem is the replacement screen wont work (it was brand new, genuine). My phone has an SLCD (checked part number against the replacements) and the replacement was an AMOLED.
Should the screen work no problem in my handset or do i need to get a hold of a SLCD? Also, im new to the rooting scene, but would this help 'fix' my problem?
Any help would be appreciated. I need to get my 2 weeks old phone working again haha.....i should have just sent it to HTC lol.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Excellent, cheers. If it turns out to be SLCD could u let me know the part number thats on the sticker on the rear of the screen. just so i know its the right one.
Thanks
Has anyone else came accross this problem?
check this thread in Desire accessories.
thanks for the link. pitty no-one seems to know for sure about the screens.
hi man. dont realy have much time on me right now ... the girls buggin me 2 come bed ! pm me your email and i will take it 2 work and take it apart ! and we can take it from there !
I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this but here goes.
I have just found two of the dreaded white spots on my EVO screen. I'm trying to decide between trying to take it back to Sprint and getting it completely replaced or just getting in touch with HTC and having the screen swapped out.
I have a Novatek 002 Model now fully rooted the original way. What are the Pros and Cons of the 004 revisions. New screen type, possibly the new hboot that I need to look into more.
Any ideas guys

I would take it to sprint and have them replace the screen. They can do it under warranty. It is a known problem so they should not give you any trouble at all.
I've been hunting around and haven't found any good information on this so I thought I'd ask.
I have an HTC Droid Incredible with an SLCD in it and the screen has cracked. Unfortunately, the SLCD seems to no longer be available in the market (I've looked everywhere). All I can find are the Samsung AMOLED versions.
So here's my question: Is there any way to root the Incredible (originally designed for the SLCD) and get it to work with the AMOLED version of the LCD?
I'm thinking no but I thought if the connectors are identical, then maybe new software would allow me to run a different LCD in the phone.
Thanks.
I've a set with broken screen too.
How can I tell if it's SLCD or AMOLED?
I'm also looking for a replacement screen.
The label on the back of the screen has this numbers:
P/N: 60H00291-00P
If you can see the screen well enough to navigate to settings>about phone, if the hardware version is 002 its amoled, 003 is slcd.

Sorry to be a pain about this but I'm not asking how to tell the difference between the parts. There's tons of posts about that (from looking at the hardware version, to the part numbers on the back, to walking into a dark room and turning the phone on).
The question here is: Can you root a DInc that shipped with a Sony LCD and get it to work with a new Samsung LCD (AMOLED version)?
Thanks.
I don't think anyone has ever tried it. I'm not an expert, and i have never attempted to do what you are doing, but it seems like it could work. Actually i'm thinking you wouldn't even have to root the phone, can't you just grab the most recent RUU file and restore the phone from that? The most recent would have to include both AMOLED and SLCD drivers in it? Is a root required to restore from a RUU file? I have never done it haha. Also you would have to check if the connectors are the same, i think chances are good that they are the same though. Anyway, good luck and keep us updated as to whether it worked or not.
any update?
Hey JetCity,
Same issue as you, can't find the S-LCD anywhere. Did you have any luck swapping out for the AMOLED?
Thanks.
Martin
I cna't imagine it would be an issue, set your phone to the most recent stock RUU and then install the new AMOLED screen. id be very surprised if it didnt work.

I wouldn't rely on that. It used to say 002, then I flashed GB and it said 003. Really weird. I'm sure mine is AMOLED.
Did anyone ever get this to work?
I have an Incredible with a cracked SLCD, but I have a spare/working AMOLED from a parts Dinc. Can someone point me to a RUU to download that might have both drivers so I can possible use my spare LCD?
step aside from for the hardware geek
No driver in the world is going to help you make an AMOLED work with an SLCD. You're problem is hardware on the board. The drive electronics for the SLCD and AMOLED are different. One very notable difference in the electronics would be no provision to drive a back light on an AMOLED.
As for finding SLCD and AMOLED screens, I've looked and they're out there. I haven't looked into this, but the hardware inside the Nexus One is nearly identical to the dInc and that screen may work in it.
just to clarify, is it the screen GLASS thats broken or the LCD part that's damaged? (or both?) I've replaced the glass part on my incredible before, the display screen is a separate part, unless they incorporated the 2 together for the slcd version, but my old amoled was separate from the glass, you can buy glass kits on ebay for fairly cheap.
has anybody ever tried this? I had to get a replacement from asurion and of course I ended up with an SLCD one, and my defective one is an Amoled.....I know how to change the screens but wondering if there are any differences that would prevent me from swapping out the screens before I send the old one back.

I literally just got done answering this question, oddly enough. Probably too soon for you to even find it in a search!
To answer your question, no, it won't work. The drive electronics on the board are different which is why the hardware version on the board must be different. AMOLEDs are driven differently and SLCD requires provisioning for backlighting.

That's a bummer. I've had several replacement phones and I got lucky each time and got AMOLEDs
hi all, the desire i have came in an orange box so its not identified as amoled or slcd. It needs a new screen but i dont know which one to buy, I understand how to identify by removing but i need to buy a kit that contains the tools to get it out, anyway of identifying which one it will be so i can buy a replacement
thanks
If your desire has an amoled screen, then it's written on the box. If it's not, your desire has a SLCD-screen. No guarantee, but this is what I read very often.
He just said he has a orange box without the information.

He only said it came in an orange box. And with orange box I assumed he meant the provider. So let's wait what he says.
thanks guys the reason i mentioned orange box is because its documented that this box doesnt have the slcd or amoled info on it, so still stuck
thanks
The AMOLED screen shows a distinctive pinkish tint on the white HTC logo screen especially when screen is tilted. When the screen is on a totally black screen LCD shows lights, LED should be fully black. There is no difference in hardware info. Though there is one definite test-Pre 1.21 RUUs softbrick SLCD Desires-but I wouldnt recommend that test.
Of course these wont help a broken device.
your right, doesnt help at all, but thanks
i guess the only way is to buy the tools seperately and take the screen out and see what it actually is and then replace
thanks guys
