Hi there, I cracked my Desire's digitizer and tried to replace and subsequently damaged the LCD screen (Sony version). Having had a further look online I noticed that there appear to be a few different digitizer part numbers. Mine (the broken one) is 940-682-1RA, however any that I have seen online for sale (ebay) are ending in 1R1. I have also seen others reporting that there are ones with a number ending 1R2. Does anybody know if I need a digitizer with a matching part number or will any of the others work ok?
I had replaced the digitizer on mine but didnt get a chance to test it was working properly as I must have bent the LCD panel too much during disassembly and broke it. I have ordered a new LCD and hope to fit it soon, but wanted to check about the digitizer in case I need to send it back and order the correct one. Grateful for any advice you can offer.
Many thanks

Hello,
My wife recently had the misfortune to drop her newish HTC Desire A8183 on the kitchen floor, thanks to my daughter's over eager grab. The digitizer has some lovely cracks all over it now... :-(
Needless to say, my wife is dismayed, and my daughter (she's only 3 and didn't mean it) is very sorry.
I thought I'd try replacing the digitizer myself, having read many tales of repairs taking 3 weeks and costing 300+ dollars.
Bought a new digitizer, took phone apart (even had a handy little "oven" that I could set to 60 degrees to melt the glue).
Phone taken to pieces quite happily.
Put in new digitizer, reassemble.
Now start up phone, all looks good.
BUT... only a small section of the screen is responding to touch (where the 7,8,9) keys are when entering SIM PIN. The row below has also worked (although intermittently) and the emergency call button too...
So my question:
Is this a problem with the digitizer I bought? Is there a particular model number of digitizers that I should be using? I note that the old digitizer had an "I2" printed on the pcb, whereas the new one has an "E5", the old one has a sticker with SHAB1 on it whereas the new on has SHABN...
I'm not sure that this is important - but given that the thing only partly works, I think it might be.
Anyone got any ideas/hints for me to try... I'll phone the supplier tomorrow and suggest to them that the part is faulty, as I can't see any threads out there where this has happened to someone else.
EDIT: I thought I should add that the old digitizer despite looking like a spider's web, still actually works - which really make me think it is a problem with the new one...
Thanks for any help!

I can't really help you from experience all knowledge.
But I did read somewhere that you have to use specific digitizer for specific Desires.
I could be wrong
Did you work out any solution for your replacement digitizer issue?
I have a similar problem and I just realized the different ghost pattern of the screens (original has diagonal, new has square arrangements of dots) and also the electronics of the digitizer is slightly different (Original: Synaptics 940-663-1R1, replacement: Synaptics 940-682-1R2)
Hello,
I'v got the same problem, i even bought two digitizers from different sellers. I thought that it is because i did something wrong when I disassembly and assembled the phone but I put my old digitizer again and it works ok ( except the corner where it's crashed ).I asked my sellers if there are some different digitizers and they replayed that no and the one I'v got are checked and ok ( the electronics is identical, the only difference are white big number E2 and G2 ). What can I do more to repair my poor thing?

Dropped my phone on asphalt today and got a big hairline crack across the screen . (Attached pics)
It really hurts cause i always baby this phone and just the rush to get to work and in my car, completely missed my pocket.
The screen is still responsive to touch and seems to be working normal thank god the lcd screen wasnt damaged and the digitizer didn't shatter.
Got a few questions t
1) just wanted to clarify that the digitizer lies ontop the LCD screen?
2) and that is all that needs replacing?(from damage seen in the pics)
3) also mine is branded just HTC(no carrier, so it's international GSM version?)
4) would it matter if i bought a replacement digitizer meant for the at&t version or not?
5) should be getting a one x that had some water damage and is no longer working. would the digitizer from this phone be a viable option for me to use as a replacement or should i just order the part online.( I really want it replaced fast and if i have to order the replacement it will take about a week to 2 weeks to arrive in my country
so apparently i can't attach any urls until i make 10 posts or i'd show u guys the part i wanted to order but its basically just a screen digitizer from ebay with tools needed for about $17.86.(is that cheap, good or expensive price considering the item + tools)
can you guys please search for it on ebay?the title of the post/part is Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Lens Replacement For HTC One X S720 + Free Tools
the link above is the item i'm looking to order for replacement. is it the right part i'm looking at?and would that be all i need or is there anything else i should add?also quality wise would it be top pick or are there any better options available?
Attached some pics also.Advice would be greatly appreciated.
You are unlikely to be able to separate the digitizer and lcd without damaging the LCD.
A water damaged phone may have a water damaged screen.
Search one of the other broken screen threads for more information.
I've replaced several screens on captivate.easiest way is get replacement(LCD+digetizer) from ebay,Google procedure.watch or read as many times as needed to feel confident to take apart phone.the hardest part is seperating LCD from phone(they use adhesive to secure LCD to phone).I used razor to carefully cut adhesive.
Most components are plug&play.just follow guide completely,u should be fine.
My LCD was $85 on ebay.good luck.

Hi. I just got a used HTC One X phone, but the digitizer is cracked. I understood that I can't change only the digitizer, so I wanna buy a digitizer+LCD display assebmly. Now I have a problem. Reading on the internet I found that there are 2 different screens, with green and yellow flex cable. Which one is for my phone? I have the international version with Tegra 3.

if you are going to change it youself then best to open your hox and match the serial number
My idea was to open the phone after I have all parts (want to change the housing and display assembly) from ebay. I saw that they ship the parts with tools, because now I don't have any.
Sorry for double post, but I wanted to tell you that I managed to change my LCD display. I bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111039746173?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 and I am very glad. I didn't noticed any contrast/color differences. Everything worked as it should, except vibrate, which doesn't work anymore and I don't know why, I triple checked the connectors of the vibrator.
If someone want to change by himself, just go to service I had a very hard time to take the phone apart (I also changed the back case cover).
Oh, the old LCD had panel_vendor and panel_id 944701. Same with the new one.
Hello everyone,
the screen of my N7 2013 cracked after his first fall on the ground... the tablet still worked but the touch screen was unresponsive, so I decided to replace it and bought a new screen and digitizer. I replaced it following youtube tutorials but the new touch screen was unresponsive. I thought the replacement i bought was faulty, so I wrote to the seller who refunded me. So I bought a SECOND lcd+digitizer replacement, from a different seller. Same story: after replacement this second digitizer is totally unresponsive too.
I checked connections so many times with no luck. I can't believe that I bought TWO broken digitizers from two different sellers. I don't think I broke something else working on replacement (but I cannot be sure ).
So I'm wondering if there is any possible software cause for this touch screen behaviour... is there something I can still try to do before throw away the tablet? Anyone can help?
Thank you!

You only replaced the touch screen or also the daughter board? Is there any revision number on the screens/cables?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
I only replaced digitizer and lcd, daughter board was the original one (rev 1.4).
The old digitizer had a sticker with a qr code and some numbers on it, and another code printed on (see pic ..935).
I found no reference for these codes on google, the qr code gives no results.
The new digitizer has no sticker and no codes printed, only a printed mark displaying "cx 2015-1" (I think it's a seller's mark).
On lower part, where circuits and cable are, the original digitizer shows two other numbers (see pic ..942).
New digitizer shows two numbers too, smaller one (ME050111) is the same, except for last two numbers (original digitizer has "01", new digitizer has "12"). The biggest number (343308Q in the pic) is completely different on the new digitizer.
My friend's phone was damaged (someone sat on it by accident) and now the screen show a reddish big gooey-looking blotch in the middle of the screen.
The touch still works, but the middle area doesn't display anything, so we are trying to find out the needed replacement parts : does he need a full screen with digitizer ? screen with frame? just lcd screen ?
The glass on the screen is intact, nothing is broken. I've never dealt with such problem before, but I need to know before ordering the part online, so I know which one to order.
His device is a Dual-sim D858HK model, I'm also not sure if a replacement part actually exists (only found parts for the D850/855 versions)
I hope someone can help, as this is a first time for me dealing with hardware issues.
