Chipped casing

Edited because I was steaming drunk and it didn't make sense.
So I went out and had a few to many drinks last night. Walking back I stumbled into a wall while texting which resulted in me dropping my phone on the floor and chipping and scratching the phone casing down to what appears to be silver.
Fortunately the phone is ok, but as I'm a bit of a perfectionist I won't be able to rest until It's fixed.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for pointing me here. I've looked at the guide and I don't know if is be confident enough to do it myself. If I paid HTC, would they replace it for me?

Offcourse... how much to pay, that is the question. If you pay them enough, they just give you a new phone ; ).

Only camera I have is my phone. The screen is fine, would've got chipped if I didn't have a screen protector on.
It's literally just the edges of the phone and most of the purple faceplate.

Ring HTC and see how much it will cost.

My guess is well over £100 from HTC.
The only risky thing that I can see in doing it yourself is removing the digitiser.
They could have made the build so as everything is not housed/mounted on to the inside of front fascia though.

I cracked my screen. ))':

Does anyone if you can replace the screen and how or where? Everything works I just cracked the screen

It's a pretty easy fix and you can buy replacement digitizers on eBay.

Link? Cause I really do not know what to look for

Yes you can, its not that hard with the proper tools, steady hands, and a nice clean place to work.

Good luck and godspeed.

I took my Evo into Sprint because I had some obnoxious dust underneath the screen and they replaced my LCD for the price of 0.

You think they'd do the same cracked?

I'm not sure of their exact policy, but I know that it changed sometime a couple months ago. They used to be very good with replacing cracked screens, and it'd either be free, or just for a minimal 35 bucks. Now I believe that if the crack is bigger than an inch, they won't fix it, and will tell you to send it to Asurion if you have it. I would just call your local Sprint store and ask them what their policies are on having a cracked screen. Or just go down there and see what happens.

I have a replacement LCD and digitizer for sale, all one piece so you don't mess up with just the digitizer which is not that easy

Thas Allota love right there

He said using a t4 driver... I used a t5 when I replaced my speaker.

i know some sprint stores dont even bother fixing screens anymore. they wouldn't fix mine. it was still under warranty so i sent it back to HTC and they had it back to me within 5 days FREE of charge had to unroot my phone and put the stock sprint ruu back on though
if it weren't under warranty, i would definitely do it myself. its easy. just a little know how and the right tools. its surprising how easy these htc phones come apart.
Anyways... Good luck!

please I news to know now cause o bought it

how do you know if your evo screen is in 2 parts or one whole part?

Mine is a 3rd generation and the touch screen or digitizer and the lcd are two separate parts. I recently replaced the touch screen (digitizer) after dropping it. 26.00 Ebay..

Search on Youtube and you can find video tutorials of how to take apart the phone. I tried to do it and it didn't go well for me, but my LCD was also cracked and so was the case, so I literally had to take everything off of my old phone and transfer it to another case assembly. In the process of removing the flex cable antennas, I broke two of them and had to order a replacement. I'm just found the parts I need to fix it yesterday.
If all you have to do is the digitizer, then me personally, I don't think it is too hard. I recommend getting and LCD/digitizer combo to make things easier; even if your LCD is still intact. I only bought the digitizer, and it turned out my LCD was also cracked and had to order it separately.
If you've never done anything like this before, then I also suggest you find a repair shop and let them do it. Buy the parts yourself and pay them for the labor.

ok I bought the digitizer and I guess ill go to a repair shoo and let them do it

Not to be jerk man, but to be honest, you might want to look into having a professional do it for you. You've been posting about replacing your screen for a week!

I've never had to replace my screen, so I can't offer any specific advice for you. All I know, is that if I were to perform a repair such as that, I would have researched it a lot, bought a pry tool and some other tools for the job, and figured out what type of adhesive to use. Did you try google? Im sure there's a specific type of adhesive that you need to use.
