Hi there all,
I would like to get peoples thoughts on a repair i had done to the phone.
Yesterday i dropped my Desire and the screen cracked, also had the card reader repaired. The cost was $165 but i want to know if they should of replaced the casing as well or is it common practice to just replace the screen.
Thanks
They only replace the screen not the casing.

I have 2 droid incredibles. The first has water damage to the motherboard so i purchased a broken one online. after i had switched out the touch digitizer and the lcd(the working one is amoled) and put it on the good motherboard the phone will vibrate once and will not boot. using the cracked screen the phone came with it will boot all the way(i can hear it say droid). I am sure all the connections are good. I'm pretty sure both phones are the amoled model. the one i bought broken is an adr6300vw(original) and the water damaged one i have is an adr6300vw2(also amoled) the only thing i can think of is that the broken lcd phone was flashed back to stock using an ruu and was flashed for the slcd and not the amoled. if thats a possibility. if anyone has any insight or suggestions please help.
thanks in advance.
Had the same problem
I had one each, an incredible with a cracked LCD and an incredible with a cracked digitizer. Took the digitizer off of one, and replaced it, but put the wrong motherboard in. My edumicated guess is that the mother boards are programmed to a specific LCD screen and won't work apart from each other.
Hi guys,
I searched the QA section but I didn´t find anything suitable. So here´s my issue:
I have a broken screen on my GNex GSM. The digitizer and the OLED is fine, only the outer glass layer is broken.
That´s really annoying so I want to exchange it. Here´s my plan:
Buy a broken GNex GSM on eBay where the screen unit is still ok. Do the replacement with my current phone and be happy again
I´m not quite sure if this will work. I teared my GNex apart and found out there is some electronic circuits glued between the OLED and the magnesium frame.I don´t know if the circuits affect any data or IMEI or anything like that.
Is there somebody out there you has experience with this procedure? Will I lose data? Will I lose root capabilities? Will my IMEI change?
Kind regards
Christian
Changing the screen will not affect ANYTHING else on the phone - only changing the mainboard would do that
My play sometimes thinks its being touched when its not
so if I left the screen on it would start opening apps by itself
goes through my contacts and starts sending people gibberish lol
wondering if anyone els has had this problem?
and if its defiantly the digitizer or possibly the flex ribbon?
I intend to replace both at the same time
has anybody els replaced a digitizer?
where did you get it from?
would you recommend it?
how dose it hold up against scratches?
I attempted to clean my old x10 mini pros screen but when I closed it back up...
The screen lit up and stayed blank.... Do I face the same danger with the play?
Thanks in advance
Yup replaced mine after having the same symptoms. I got a kit from eBay with the digitizer, screen, and removal tool.
The process isn't complicated, but it's a pain in the ass to get the hinge working properly again.. took me a lot longer than it should have.

same here
Hello, I had same problem and I solved it easily, but I recomend you buying digitizer with a front cover, because unsticking old digitizer and then sticking new one may cause next problems, because if you did not do it right, rubbish can get under your digitizer and you have to disassemble your X-play again to clean it.
So buy a digitizer+front cover on ebay and good luck with repairing...
So I dropped my phone, screen cracked. Pretty upset about it considering it was only dropped from about a foot.
Anyway, looking for repair options. I have insurance and heard LG is another way to go but looking for a different option.
My screen is cracked, digitizer responsed only where their is no cracks, LCD is fine.
Looking up repair places, they want to replace the whole assembly LCD/Screen, so my question
how difficult is replacing just the screen? i'd say I do pretty well at DIY
anyone have a good repair person who just does the screen or anyone will to sell your services to me?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I replace my wife's G3 screen that was very damaged from the impact, I bought the part on ebay for $107 about two months ago, I replaced the screen, no to hard to do.
