Display screen digitizer + LCD repalcement. HELP!!! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi sorry to bother I'm looking for a replacement of the whole display screen digitizer + LCD.
Does anybody can recommend a good one.
I've been searching on amazon but mayority of people complain about that the digitizer stop working on the repalcement after a while.
Any help appreciated.

There really isn't any "good one". If you want one that works, get an OEM one made by HTC.

Hey,
I think this might help you!

Of course the higher you go the quality will probably be better but for $15 with free shipping I dont think you can go wrong if the first place, if it does not last long just order a new one!
If you have TEP you are better off getting it replaced by sprint for a new phone.
Good luck!
If I helped please hit that thanks button!

I found a used OEM front panel (LCD & digitizer) in good shape on ebay shipped for $50. The guys at my sprint store are cool and installed it for me. That's half what asurion gets and you keep your software setup

There are two different LCD connectors, a wipe one and a "normal" one. The ONLY way to see what one your phone has is to open it up.

[Q] Recomendation for buying a screen replacement

Hi, I'm new here so apologizes if I break any forum etiquette
Some days ago I accidentally dropped my Galaxy Nexus i9250 and shattered the screen.
Looking around I found that I need to get he digitizer plus LCD screen since they are fused, I found a couple of alternatives in ebay but I'm not sure which one to get.
Basically I'm between two options, the first one is a LCD + Touch Screen Digitizer +Front Cover Replace and the second one is just the digitizer and LCD screen.
Of course I want to get the most closer to the original part and although the first seller told me it's the original part I'm not sure about it.
In the second item you can actually see the Samsung logo so that's probably an original part.
Do anybody has a suggestion about which way to follow?
I would post links to the items in ebay but I can't cause I'm new.
Thanks,
Javier

It's been discussed in several threads, people usually say it's better to send it to samsung and let them fix it than buying the digitizer+lcd , coz in terms of money u wouldn't be saving much if u're planning to buy the parts urself.
P.s. posting in Q&A might have been more proper, plus u'd probably get more answers and ideas

Thanks, the problem is that I'm in a country where the Galaxy Nexus isn't sold, so I talked with Samsung and they told me that they can repare it but I have to send it to the US and they will mail it back to a mainland US address when fixed.
I did that once for a laptop and it took a lot of time and money, actually it will cost the same than getting a brand new phone.
This is why I need to do it myself.

[Q] Should i trade my Nokia N9 for a one x with a messed up LCD?

I sold my htc amaze a few months ago to buy the n9 and im getting tired of not having any app selections (it was cool at first), and the one x looks pretty sick. found someone on craigslist that is willing to trade but he dropped the phone and the screen doesn't turn on. he has a new digitizer for it but not an LCD. They aren't too expensive on ebay (found one for like $40). he said the phone turns on and everything works (capacitive buttons, sound, etc). The thing im worried about is if it has water damage, is there any way to find out? and if not do you guys think its worth it?
thanks
edit: nevermind did more searching on the water damage indicator and found it. still would like to know your opinions/advice though
A screen repair requires the digitiser and LCD. Just do a search for broken screen threads here.

thanks for your reply. yeah ive watched a few videos on it but since they are selling the LCDs on ebay separated from the digitizer I figured you could replace it itself..
edit: im reading on other threads that they are two separate units? some people are saying they are on unit and others are saying the opposite. starting to wonder if its worth it..

Official ones come as one unit and cost more. It'll cost about 150 UK pounds for official repair. Factor that into your cost, and the fact that it's second hand, and the fact you can't test it properly... Is it worth it? I doubt it, but a working One X is an incredible device.

this is what im looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LCD-DIS...930?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c7451912 you don't think this would be real? it also has 30 days money back so if it isn't the real deal..
Don't do it, go for a proper second hand device a fully working one, better to have the original screen as it's a lovely screen.

thank you, ill take your advice. it seems not many people are interested in the n9 as much as I thought they would.
It always feels good to have a new device which is fresh and you are much sure that it doesn't have a defect or something, if you're are looking for some advice, well for me, i will personally tell you that go and just buy a new one ( Fresh like Dougie )

Looking for a new lcd

So, I'm looking for a new LCD for my recently acquired gnex. Everything on it is working perfect except the lcd has what looks almost like damage from a magnet in the bottom right corner. I've looked around a little bit but can't find any for less than almost 200 usd. That's more than I paid for the phone and I refuse to pay that much for a single part. Does anyone here know where I should look?

Bump for no replies. Any suggestions residents of xda?

E-bay has always been cheapest on spare parts when I repair phones.
If it's still too expensive, either by another ruined gnex, where the LCD is intact, or sell yours as damaged and buy a new device.

I just replaced my cracked screen from 1 I got off eBay. $60 + $10 shipping. Look for seller named redocean2. Prompt shipping.

I don't actually need the screen itself. I need a new lcd. Thanks for the input though, I'll look them up and see what they have.

I have the Sprint version, and to my knowledge the screen and LCD are fused (glued really good) together, so I had to replace the whole assembly. So yeah, may not help you, but good luck though!

Buying screen parts

Anyone know of a place to get the digitizer/inner screen for a reasonable price? I have a perfectly functional E4GT that was dropped on the day it was purchased (literally on the way out of the Sprint store) and the inner screen was cracked.
Perfectly functional otherwise, it still boots up and everything, just that the screen is black.
Attached are some pictures so you know what I mean. Thanks in advance for any help
Amazon? Is that yours?

Haven't had to do that *yet* (knock on wood). I wouldn't know where to look. But if you need help after you get it up and running hit me up, this device can be a little confusing at first.... I had to help BigSplit get everything set up.
Will do :good:
We have 3 E4GT in our family and I have replaced 3 screens w/ digitizer so far. It is easy to do, but finding them at a decent price is the hard part. You use to be able to find them for around $50. I just dont see spending $85-$135 when I can do an insurance claim for $100. The next one I do I'm thinking of trying to just replace the glass since the digitizer is fine. Good Luck!

Yeah, that's my issue...not worth replacing it when (no offense to you guys) but it's still pretty expensive for an old phone

Here's a video for replacing the glass:

Looks like a tuff job might be easier to get the LCD and touch screen pre-assembled.

Thank you for the reply,
I'm not sure if just replacing the glass will solve my issue. I think my LCD is bad as well as the glass so I think I need a complete screen assembly. I don't know where to buy the parts. Any sugestions??
I can do all the work.

ebay, amazon and search google...about the best you can do.
The lcd is alot of money. I just had the same issue and i bought a used tablet for half the price and swapped out the main board and it works good as new. Just try to get same model as in some models you can mix match. For a example i have att version. I bought another att version and the swap out worked fine. I then bought verizon model and swapped out and it didn't work. I did notice it was a little diffrent.
Yup I see prices on ebay from about 100.00 to about 250.00USD.
Might try a pawn shop for a used one. I saw one in my town for about 70.00 for the whole tablet. At least I think it was 700 wifi version.

Thank you all for posting. I even asked some fix and repair people I follow on YouTube. It is about 140+ for a screen with the frame stuck to it. You can find just the screen assembly without the frame for about 100 if lucky. A lot of work.
I ended up -having a chat- with fry's and we came up with a deal of swapping out my 'warranty ' tab S for the S2 for $21.00 out the door. I found out some dark secretes of the 'open box ' S, and got creative and smart with my conversation.
