Hello All,
I have the HTC Desire, last night it fell out of my pocket face down. The screen shattered from the drop. The touch screen repsoniveness seems the same. Just waondering is this covered by T-Mobile UK or HTC warrant. It's been about 10 months since I had the phone. If so, how can I go about getting phone replaced.
If it is not covered how much is it likely to cost get screen replaced and how do I go about this.
Thanks
Don't think warranty covers screen damage, that would be an insurance job
Thanks for your prompt reply. I don't have insurance. Do you have any idea how much it might cost to get screen replaced and where I can go to get this done. Do HTC provide a repair service?
Haven't a clue! It's why I have my phone on my home/contents insurance

Eddy is right don't forget that home/contents insurance should cover accidental damage to your phone. Warranty will in no way cover your phone i'm afraid as this will only cover inherent problems with the phone eg Microphone stops working for no reason etc. You could try going to HTC directly as they may have a service center somehere in your area (you never know til you try) a slight warning though that this can be quite a costly process to get done by HTC - there is a number to call here for you http://service.europe.htc.com/Wizard.aspx?pageid=0
also found this place through google http://www.htcrepairs.co.uk/htc_rep...el=&phone=&name=&network=Network&title=repair no idea how reputable they are so might want to check them out first . Won't hurt to ask for a quote though - But if it seems really really cheap then it may not be a good deal so be careful
Well, what probably is broken is the digitizer. You can fix this yourself for about 30 euro.
Atleast, that's what I did...
Never done such a thing in my life before, and I was kinda scared... but it turned out to be a really cool job and not that difficult!
I'm trying to find my topic, but search is down atm... When you see this post, go to my account and see for a topic I started or one I replied in recently... it's probably about the same problem with a photo of my phone back then...

@ZasXxSAz: Thanks, will search for your post. How can I tell if it's just the digitizer or the other screen. I read there are two screens ? The screen seems to be available for aboput £30, the assembly is the hard bit. If you say its as easy as you say it is I may just check it out.
Thanks guys.
Keep the help coming.
Thanks, I have e-mailed HTC last night. Will see what they say regarding repiar service.
Will check out the other website also.
Edit: I just checked out the htc reapirs website, I live in London, they are based in Wimbledom and aslo have a walk in service. Will email them and see if I can get a quote.
Best way just to check first as HTC can be expensive from what iv'e heard but the other place may well try ripping off as the desire is expensive.
It does indeed sound like a digitizer that is broken rather than the lcd (armoled) screen as they tend to bleed or not work at all -- think broken calculator screen and that's what you would get -- basicly the digitizer is the screen that you touch the lcd armoled is what is underneath it .. so if it is just the digitizer don't press the screen too hard incase a piece breaks off and goes through that too
Hello guys,
10 minutes ago my galaxy note N7000 screen cracked in my pocket.
So I need to buy a replenishment screen from Samsung but I simply can't find stores that supplies replenishment parts for it. Do anyone knows where to buy a new Amoled LCD screen for galaxy note ?
Thank you and best regards,
Amid
ebay, took 5 days to ship from HK to NYC. Follow youtube guide in opening the note and use blow dryer/heat gun to loosen the sceen, wedge open with something sharp and slowly tear back the screen gently. You will need the old Wacom sensor from the broken screen so becareful to not to rip it. There is guide in the general section. I broke mine 2 weeks ago and replaced it in a hour. take your time you can get it done.
Thanks man. Just to be sure, the price is about US$ 230,00 for it ? i am not sure if I am looking for the right spare part.

I can try but I don´t think this will help the problem. The screen doesn´t show any images anymore, looks like a broken LCD. When you press it, a lot colors appears around it. Do you believe this is the one I need ?

Hmmm no, in that case you will need the 200ish one.
You will need the entire setup, glass, LCD, and Touch. Does not come with Wacom sensor. Looking around you can get them for 230-260. Look for delivery, that makes a huge difference, especially with your phone out of commission.
This is the guy I purchased mine from, but I panic and purchase the first one I saw. If you do some research you will find cheaper, but I got min in 5 days. So I am glad this guy came thru. Good luck, its going to stress you out a bit when you have to remove the screen from the front panel, they are glued on so take your time. Looks like your LCD broke so it is going to crack and shatter further so make sure you do it in area where it is easy to clean. If you look at the front panel after you remove it, you will see one wire that does not come with the replacement one, that is for the wacom sensor, so be careful and don't damage that part, you will need to peel it off and place it back on to the replacement lcd, otherwise your s-pen won't work. It's been 2 weeks, my phone is going strong and no sensor or sceen issues. You should get a more protective case, since you probably already blew close to ~$1000 on this phone by now. I have a casemate, otterbox commuter looks like a good one. Once again good luck, you can do this.
Please stop advising people to do something that is not meant to be done and can possibly damage their phone even more. And most likely look completely rubbish when assembled.
The correct repair part is a complete display assembly including everything - the glass, digitizer, Wacom digitizer, AMOLED, bezel, frame abd home button. It costs around 260 dollars on eBay and is relatively simple to install. By installing the complete assembly you don't need to worry about separating the glass and AMOLED or about the Wacom digitizer, since they are all included. Just remove the screws, back housing and motherboard, disassemble the audio flex cable and front camera flex from the old display and put them into the new one. Most displays also require the old charger port flex and speaker module to be used.
The correct part looks like this, for example: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=320843198847
Well mine looks brand new, must be the workmanship ;-P But why flame my advise when he is going to need to do it anyways, the screen is completely useless, as was mine. Why don't you keep your assumption to yourself in how it will look or if he is going to ruin the device. If he decides that he would rather live with a crack screen or someone who is willing to do it, there really isn't much options here. What's up with such negative attitude here. Just trying to show him that it can be done.

Replacement screen with 2 connectors
Hello!
First of all I would like to say Thank you for all the resources provided in this forums!
Could someone please help me to find a replacement screen for the International version of the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with 2 connectors? This phone has the physical home button. All the replacements that I've been able to find have just the first connector. I tried to post a photo hoping to help better explain it, but I can't do it yet.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Hi ,
I think Senior member Justis is right... many of us dont want to do a full screen replacement for 220$...when we can just remove the front screen for 20$..many have done this method successfully... U just need to watch a lot of youtube videos on this and be careful/delicate with the procedure... its possible.
So i dont think what he said was a waste.. Pls keep such remarks to yourself.. He was not wasting anyones time.
Infact you are wasting my time making me read your message and give u a reply.
You know what...im doing a screen replacement too... thats what guys do first. njot jump in and do a full replacement for 220 $.:good::good::good:

Hi,
I damages my one X in a bicycle accident a while back. It could have been worse, there is a crack in the bezel, the screen has delaminated causing the middle of the touch screen to not respond, the casing is badly damaged.
I have still been using it as it works mostly fine, but I think it's time to do something about it.
So I understand I just need to replace the lcd touch screen unit, the bezel and the housing. I can get all this off ebay for just under £100.
So the question is, do I risk doing it myself, or do I take it to a much more expensive repair shop?
Personally I think I would mess it up, but I'm only 16 so I can not really afford to pay over double. Perhaps I could buy the parts and see if I could get someone to do it for me and only charge for labour?
I don't really know, so I'd like to hear people's opinions on what I should do and people's past experiences.
Thanks

I'd find a local repair shop and ask how much they'd charge for both options, parts and labour and just labour. Then you can decide what the best option is.

go somewhere else, somewhere less eager to grab your money at any opportunity.
however.
lots of people have already taken their one x's apart. there are some repair guides around as well.
i've taken phones apart before and laptops and xbox's etc, i always have that feeling that i'm gonna break something. i didn't. the key is just to be extremely careful. and read any tear down guides, watch youtube videos before actually attempting it.
make sure you use the right tools.
personally i'd do it myself. the people at the repair centre, whilst not actually repairing the phone properly, i think they replaced the screen, as they took out a small chunk of the original housing. not professional at all.
i feel that because it's yours, you'll be a lot more careful than some idiot monkey doing it for you at ridiculous cost.
I just repaired mine, and it's not that hard there are lots of guides of how to disassemble the phone on youtube.
Just get the one that suits you and do it yourself. you may need some guitar picks to pry it (medium ones do the first job then use thin ones to open the sides) U need a small screwdriver and mmm that's pretty much all the tools you need.
Get the pieces i want to change mine, just one thing. The screens they sell online are not as the original, the one with the phone is completely adhered causing a black screen appearance, the ones they sell are like grayish and have bubbles when you hard press them. since they are not heat adhered.
Good luck

You can buy a special opening tool for the case very cheaply.
I browsed all the replacement parts on ebay and emailed all the sellers asking if they were genuine htc products and exactly the same as you would get on a new phone, and I've picked the ones that said yes.
A question I have is what I got this phone, it had bad screen flex and discolouration. If I manage to pull off the repair perfectly, will it be flawless?
Thanks again
HTC One X CM10 EPRJ
Depends on the screen you get I'm afraid, word of warning : I've read that people have been asking ebay sellers if it's genuine, they answered yes. So they ordered the product and it turned out to be not genuine be careful. I'd buy from somewhere else if possible like an online shop etc, someone might be able to give advice on where from
Answer to your question is: this isn't reliant on your repairing skills, it's based on what screen you buy to replace it with.
Because you're buying new housing as well, this should be quite risk free in a way for you, cause if you damage the old screen or housing when trying to get it apart it doesn't matter much.
The screen flex (not quite sure here) might be the screen not being in the housing properly, so could be fixed from your best set of repairing hands lol

If they say it's genuine and it isn't, you can either get a refund from them or get ebay to sort it out for you.

yeah it's good to have that buyer protection, it definitely does the job. main reason i say is that i read somebody had bought screens from 7 different sellers on ebay, after they said it was genuine when it wasn't (something like that) and had to get every single one sent back and refunded. its just not worth the hassle imo
How would I know it's a genuine HTc screen?

tricky one to be honest - i guess the best way is to either try and obtain one from htc themselves, or find a reputable shop, that you've used before that sells it. i'll have a look at some point to see if i can find any anywhere. of course this is still no guarantee that it's genuine, which brings us back to square 1
If it looks genuine, has gorilla glass (you can tell if you look at it from a sharp angle) and is high quality, then who cares if it is genuine htc? It won't affect resale value

I'm not saying don't buy it, it is your choice of course, the main reason for genuine is the quality of the screen it self. Ie the colour reproduction, whether the glass was laminated properly to the lcd and if it has glue spots or yellow spots or just not a very clean finish. Or maybe the glass isn't as thin and the touch response isn't as sensitive as it used to be, also not giving the effect of the screen sorta popping out of the glass
I'm not sure if you've read this or not, this may well still be happening, but htc were using two different manufacturers for the screens, which when put side by side (you wouldn't notice otherwise) they had different colours just slightly, like one had a warmer colour, like not quite bright white but more yellowish I think it was. And they were the genuine ones (this doesn't help my argument I know) my point is though, if the genuine ones were like that, imagine just how bad they can be when not genuine
I haven't had to experience it myself, I don't know if these screens really are that much worse than genuine ones, but everything I've read suggested that they are worse, don't say I didn't warn ya! I wish you luck with it though, do let us know how the replacement goes etc

Thx for your reply. Can you say which lcd screen is made by LeTV or is there an LCD screen which is made by LeTV? Thx
I don't know. Perhaps someone else on the forum has that information. I think they sell original screens but it's best you contact the sellers directly before ordering.

Hi!
Any update since October? I`m facing the same issue. I have googled a bit and found some complaints related to LCDs from Aliexpress claiming that they are no so bright and blurry, sometimes with white spots.
I have also find only a glass replacement https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-7...lgo_pvid=aec8908f-0e28-4202-a650-ab20f3981970
of a glass with digitizer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-LeEco-L...966586?hash=item58e23ffdba:g:z4wAAOSw-kdXxPkl
But... also a lot people claims that the LCD is almost inseparable from glass... Do anyone have an experience with only glass replacement?
I found a local service that claims to be able to do that.. but I do not know whether to trust them not destroy the LCD. The said, that they do not have an experience with Le Max 2 but with other phones.
Thanks

If you can get the fast delivery, then you can give it a go. Although it's a risky operation,it might be alright in the end. The service should have some experience if they say that for other brands/phones they have succeeded. It might be ok, but always keep in mind that something might go wrong. And it's not worth waiting 2 months for the glass and another 2 for the display.
Edit: you can google the process and you will see how it's done for other phones. They need to have special devices.

Thanks for such a fast reply. I already did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRqSyZk1SOU It seems to be very tricky. I have relatively fast delivery about 2-3 weeks so I`ll give it a try with only a glass an digitizer http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-LeEco-L...966586?hash=item58e23ffdba:g:z4wAAOSw-kdXxPkl.
I`ll write a review after the whole process is done for future reference
Very difficult. They make it look easy on youtube. I attempted a glass only repair on a nexus 6. You have to have correct amount of heat, and the LCD is very fragile. Too much heat will damage the display, but you need enough heat to soften the loca glue to be able to separate the glass from the lcd.. I even had a scientific dry bath at my disposal to get the right temp.. Not worth a home repair attempt IMO.
Cost of the le max 2 is just the reason I bought this phone (vs a $600+ device) and put on tempered glass from Ali express for less than $2. Will you consider replacing your phone for $200?
My wife broke her tempered glass protector twice on the max 2. Easy fix, just replaced the tempered glass cover. I'm just saying I learned the hard way, on a more expensive Nexus 6. I wasn't aware of tempered glass protectors then. Even after destroying my lcd (by trying a glass-only repair) and ending up buying the lcd+glass assembly, I still didn't get the phone's frame tight with the display assembly to make it acceptable.
I tried to repair lcd once for another phone. It took me 1h just to disassemble the phone, and half an hour more to try to carefully separate lcd from digitizer. I failed and then there was no point spending another hour puting the phone back together and had to throw all those tiny parts to the garbage. Think about this before you try.
Home repairs of such kind are a no go. This is why I encourage him to go to the repair shop where they do that kind of repairs to the screen. They do have a special heated plate with temperature adjustment, a vacuum device that eliminates any bubbles between the lcd and glass, etc. Also do note that not all the repair shops are doing this. Most of them are collecting phones for the specialized shops and charge an extra fee.
In conclusion, this kind of repair is not for everybody, and it would be best done in a specialized repair shop. For reference, check the following video:
I know it's written in romanian and for an Allview, but I guess that most of the things are understandable to get the idea of how complicated the whole process is for any home attempt.
So, after a month in repair center I have my phone back. The screen is an original one with digitizer changed. Between digitizer and screen there are some bubbles, buttons are switched, like back is on a left instead of right and the bugged issue... They are very undeterministic and do not always work and sometimes they work without even touching so... Apps are switching and so on... I needed to disable them and use gestures instead.
The repair was about 40USD and digitizer 15 USD... It is hard to say whether it was worth it or exchange the complete screen.

I can personally recommend this vendor. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...32820735893.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.xEXMor
Replacing the screen + digitiser on this model is pretty easy provided you have access to a hot air gun. Took me about 15 minutes and I'm in NO WAY a pro. For the price of a new screen I definitely wouldn't attempt a digitizer-only repair.

Replacing the screen + digitiser on this model is pretty easy provided you have access to a hot air gun. Took me about 15 minutes and I'm in NO WAY a pro. For the price of a new screen I definitely wouldn't attempt a digitizer-only repair.

Wow.... That's cheap enough to order one and have it just in case.....
Thanks for the link
I have brought this one.

And I can say, It's same as the original one in every detail(Even production date so close). Replacement is very easy with tool that came with screen.
BTW, You have to buy glue(B6000,E7000,T8000 or whatver) for fix it in place.
If and when anyone replace any parts on this phone, like a screen, digitizer, frame or just anything, please share your experience here, thanks!
As I understand it, the original water resistance won't be relevant after tear-apart. Some impervious will be lost. The disassembly is more involved than most, in the past. I, myself, may be looking at getting a better phone via trade-in. Gone are the days, for the most part, of servicing the phone for a battery, to keep things going. I'll still monitor the posts about the phone, but things have gotten to where 'root' isn't much of a benefit anymore.

I'm in the process of getting a new screen, a frame and a battery. Right now the cost for the screen, digitizer and frame is around $175. Batter $7. There's pretty good instructions out there, so shouldn't be a problem.
Didn't you start this thread to share info when sourcing replacement parts?
Where are you sourcing the screen, frame and battery you mention in your post?

This is what I'm looking at right now. Been looking around a lot and those two seams OK and I'm going to wait for the price (screen) to drop a bit more. It was $150 a month ago.

I will try this screen protector:

It's similar to Dome Whitestone, but a fragment of the price. About $4 compared to $40...

Beware 'cheap' prices! Potential bad fit/poor adhesion. If they have a good return policy, go for it, otherwise, next company.

I'll keep you posted...

If the image under the glass is broken and the touch panel is NOT then you only need an LCD.
If the top touch panel or (glass top) is cracked or broken but the image under it is fine then you only need the Touch Panel (relatively cheap).
If the top touch panel is broken and the lcd image is either black liquid or cracked you need a complete screen.
To be honest it's probably easier to get the combined parts to avoid having to separate LCD from digitizer and risk a failure. Since the digitizer is fused to the LCD you would need some special tools to remove the digitizer to ensure success. Separating the assembly with heatguns, etc. isn't that easy.
My advice: invest in replacing the complete assembly to ensure success.
Positively surprised
The Akcoo "doomglass" fits perfectly and I struggle really hard to even see my cracked screen underneath. Remember, this was $3.50 on Aliexpress! Will still go for a new screen later though. I'll keep you posted regarding the quality of the screen protector...

Nice! These protectors with the UV glue are the only ones that work good on curved screens, had one on my V30, but now need it for my V40. The source I was going to use is currently away for Chinese New Years.. May I ask how long it took to ship to you?
Thanks

3 weeks, hehe... Might have been a boat ride. Don't mind really for that price
Screen price is down to $121 now, but I'll wait a bit longer
Old thread but you can find demo models on eBay for around $70. Just use the original charge port flex. Then you get the cameras and a new (used) battery too
