I had issues replacing the screen and digitizer my self I cracked the lcd display when trying to pull it out. i bought a combo from ebay and for $45 and broke it found a place on craigslist that fixed it locally for $75 the videos on youtube make it look easier than it was. but that was me I would encourage to do your research and have a back up plan.

youtube has great videos on how to do it yourself. Also there are two different screens one with a wide conect and one with a narrow one. Make sure which one you have first if it is the screen. The digitizers all have the same conector

Replacement screen

I have been trying to find a replacement screen for aria, but everywhere I look they are insanely expensive or sold out. Is anyone else finding these for 40 or 50 bucks? I have looked everywhere, so if you have a tip please help a guy out here!

Cheapest I've seen is $80 on eBay.

Just found this site that lists them for $45 but they show backordered. Maybe you can contact them to see when they'll get more stock in, if ever.

Cheap htc digitizers
This is my first post, so I can't post links, but search on DealExtreme and you will find cheap digitizers for HTC.
These are probably not genuine, but worth the gamble?
Are any of these models compatible with the Aria?

Can get them on eBay though for ~$50.
wholesalegadgetparts.com has them for a little under $50.00. OEM markings, it fits, it works, fast shipping. Mine arrived in 2 days regular post (free). Follow guide on repairsuniverse.com. Be careful with the sticky stuff that holds the screen to the frame or you will have to replace it too.
Hello all.
It is compatibile digitizer and lcd between aria and gratia?
I see on Ebay that touch screen for aria is cheaper than for gratia.
Yeah it's the same.
Digitizer
Did you get the screen yet? My wife shattered her screen 3 days after the release of the Intruder (Aria) I found a new one online for $45 with tax and shipping. had to play with the stickers a little to stop light from shinning out of the sides but it was real easy replacement .....Ill look through my records if you still need it.
does the digitizer works like the original one? no problems at all?
I'm wondering if you can get an original one, beside buying a phone for parts.

[Q] Replacement screen?

Hi,
The LCD on my Archos 101 Gen8 is cracked. Is there a place I can get a replacement? I've searched the internet and the two places I found cost more than half the price of the tablet itself.
Thanks in advance.
Well, here's the unfortunate news. Replacing the screen might not be the only thing you have to do. The digitizer (the thing that lets the tablet know which part of the screen is being touched) could also be broken. My Archos 70it was dropped from a 2 story ledge and in no way was that covered under warranty. It cost me $187 to get Archos to fix the screen+digitizer. Although they didn't actually fix it, they just sent me a brand new completely sealed unit. Which I think was pretty nice of them.
The unfortunate truth with most technology like tablets is that individual parts are so ridiculously expensive. It's a supply and demand thing I'm sure.
I hope you can get this all worked out.
EDIT: Also, when they talked to me about replacement they said they could either fix it for $187, or give me 20% off anything (Gen 8 and below) in the Archos store. So that's another option if you maybe want to downgrade to a smaller/cheaper unit.

Thanks for the info. The digitizer is intact, it's the actual LCD that's cracked. I only use the tablet for web browsing, so I could downgrade in terms of specs, but not screen size.
Again, thanks.

With Archos, it is ridiculously hard to find replacement items. If you find a solution, possibly post it here? Not for me, but I'm sure many people would like to know how to solve it.

They have 30-pin and 40-pin variants and I'm not sure which one fits the Gen8. Emailing them was useless as the only model no. of the back of the screen they have no idea about.

I have to replace my screen as well on my Galaxy Nexus (See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474979), so I was wondering if you could give me a recap on GoUnlock.com:
Did the replacement part work? Was shipping time acceptable? Were they shady?
reference about GoUnlock.com?

I'm also looking for reference about GoUnlock.com because I need to replace my digitizer. Anyone can say anything good or bad about them?
Btw Zathman, just in case, make sure you really want to change the full "LCD + Digitizer" package, which afaik is usually expensive. Maybe only the "touchscreen glass (digitizer)" is damaged, while the "displaying device (LCD)" that is behind could still be working fine (that is my case). LCD+Digitizer ~ $250, Digitizer only is ~$50.
found this online
http://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNexus/comments/qzefr/broke_my_lcd_last_week_sent_it_into_samsung_on/
They had samsung replace it.
Only 163, and they do all the work, plus shipping.
Sounds pretty good.

Well, I guess it depends. For the RAZR some online shops seems to have sold it in the past, although now they are all out of stock (maybe there are a lot of RAZR screen broken... don't know).
Try searching for "digitizer" and the phone model on ebay, and google...
Aren't the glass and digitizer glued together in the nexus? If so, you have to get both. Only phones where they're separate can you swap digitizer separately.
bow chicka wow wow.

Yes they are fused together in this phone, you can't get them separately. But hey on the plus side, no screen dust leakage!
Has anyone found a decent guide on replacing this screen? I've been looking all morning and found a few teardowns but nothing concrete. I have a cracked screen on my nexus and have a whole nother nexus i'm going to use as a replacement...
Thanks.

Have you checked ifixit.com? They have a bunch of parts like what you're looking for. I just ordered a speaker for the Tab 3 from them. They don't have EVERYTHING on there, it's kind of like Wikipedia with a lot of guides and all that submitted by users, but they're pretty legit. I called support with a few questions and they were VERY helpful too. Seems like that have tons and tons of different models of all sorts of things too. The guy put me on hold to see if they had 'one of those' in the back when I was trying to describe what I was looking for. At worst, if you call them, they can probably find a source for you.

Screen replacement is really expensive...

Hi everybody,
I broke the screen of my Pixel 2XL.
In truth only the digitizer is broken but replacing only the digitizer seems impossible without proper tools.
I was searching for a screen replacement but they are really expensive!
Any suggestion on where to get it? I've read that there are compatible ones...
Do they worth the expense?
Where can I find theme?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
I got my replacement from Fixez.
They weren't the cheapest option at $162 U.S., but it was an OEM display.

Wow! Anyway to just make the phone look like there is no damage and get a warranty exchange for it?
I have a cheaper alternative for broken screen. One day my phone flew out of my pocket at 100km/h on motorcycle, cause I like to save some bucks I found an original 2xl screen on aliexpress, there are some defected screens as they say, like couple pixels doesn't work or it has some imperfections. I took one for 70€ shipped, with 2 not working pixels that you almost can't see. They include tools to change it, but u need a seal. So if you don't mind imperfections it's really good way to save some money! I hope it helps someone.
