Does this phone need a new digitizer or lcd screen? I'm going to fix it for a friend and don't want to buy the wrong part.
I was originally under the assumption that because the touch screen is fully functional-I would need to replace the entire LCD screen but a friend of mine told me I may need to only replace the digitizer.

If the touch screen works, just replace the digitiser.

Isn't the digitiser the touch sensitive part of the screen? So if the touch screen works, why would you need to change the digitiser?

Correct. If the LCD had broken aswell their would have been some kind of bleeding like when someone breaks a TV or LCD monitor.
So all you need is the digitizer

Assuming you bought a LCD screen, check out http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-HTC-Evo-4G-LCD-Panel/3083/1
If you intend to say that you bought a screen protector, the product you bought should have come with some instructions. Or just use google.
No I bought the digitizer screen

i just changed my digitizere two days ago. had some bumps in the road. the glue used on the screen is pretty strong use a hair dryer to loosen it. i the video he makes it look easy. everything else is easy just the screen adhesive is tricky. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ADHESIVE FOR THE DIGITIZER. if anything give me a shout

No offense man, but if you have the option to take it to sprint and get it done. They charge 50 for a screen replacement, whether you under TEP or not.
Yikes!!!!!

I'm looking for a replacement and I see LCD screens and digitizer what is the digitizer and do I need one? The screen is cracked only, everything works perfect, home button, search, back and menu buttons. TIA...again.

If everything works fine, all you need is the screen. The digitizer is what converts your touch to a signal.

flash an RUU.Will return phone to stock and remove root.
But if you have cracked your screen it won't be covered under warranty. you need to claim off insurance if you have any.

Hi,
My wife dropped my Desire (now hers) and cracked the screen. LCD appears to be fine, just the gorilla glass has cracked. I was looking on eBay for a replacement and found "digitizers"...is this what I need? "Screen glass" yields no results!
Thanks

He means send it to htc for repair, if u have warranty left. But what u found on ebay is correct, digitizer is right, u get the screen and the connecting part aswell, to connect to the inside of the phone. Theres vids on youtube on how to change them if u do it urself
