[Q] Cracked screen - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, today I dropped my Desire HD and the screen cracked. The touchscreen works fine, so my guess is that the LCD is not affected, only that glass ontop of it. Is there any way I can change it without replacing the whole LCD screen?

If it's just the glass that's cracked and everything else is fine (No visible cracks/defects in the LCD itself) then you just need to get a new Digitizer. This is the glass panel on top of the LCD that picks up the touch input.
You can pick them up for pretty cheap on ebay, postage will depend on where you live. In my case I can get one for €18 from an English seller including postage to Ireland so should be similarly priced for wherever you live.

Also here's a video with instructions on how to replace the Digitizer.

The digitizer is the part that picks up the touch of the screen for input. The LCD is the actual viewable screen. Is it just the glass that is broken? Is so you can probably just replace the glass unless I'm mistaken. Unless the glass and the LCD are one piece.

The hobo murderer is right. You most likely have the digitizer cracked, since that's the topmost layer of the phone. If you're lucky and the actual LCD screen under the glass is fine then you can save a pretty decent amount of money by only replacing the digitizer.
Edit: This teardown by ifixit is a great demonstration of how this phone is put together. It should give you a better idea of which parts are broken: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC-Evo-4G-Teardown/2979/1

Question about replacing cacked screen

Hey guys, i read through a couple of threads about cacked screens but im still a little confused. i droped my phone and the bottom half of the screen cracked, i can still use the phone without any problems. so do i need a digitizer or new lcd??
digitizer is the glass part that you touch, lcd is the screen itself. If you can see a full picture, then the lcd is fine.

Ok thanks, my phone is still in perfect working condition. just the glass is all cacked up, so now i need to find a cheap digitizer..
Ebay
Sent from my EVO
My friend found one off amazon for like $13-15 I can't remember. I looked it up too and it was about the same. He didn't have any issues replacing the glass either. If you have the insurance you might try a sprint store, or a authorized sprint store. I bought a Epic fro ma coworker and it had a cracked screen, took it to the repair place and they did it for free. (after making the phone my wifes main phone)

[Q] Separate LCD & Digitizer

I have had a bad luck and my phone fell out of my pocket and got cracks on the screen, i think its digitizer because the picture is all perfect inside the screen otherwise the liquid would have defiantly came out of the LCD!!!
I have tried pressing on the cracked class and see if liquid comes out or it forms a black spot or anything but nothing happened!!!
The combo of LCD & Digitizer costs 2500-4000 Indian Rupees while only 800Rs for Digitizer so i am thinking of only buying figitizer from ebay but i dont know any way to separate the LCD & Digitizer
Anyone have any idea on doing that and how can i put the digitizer back on LCD?
Thanks!
P.S. The touch is working perfectly even when cracked heavily!

Cracked glass, LCD fine, but is my digitizer broken as well?

Hi folks.
I've cracked the screen of my LG G3 and want to give one of the 'screen replacement' kits from eBay a go.
However, how can I tell if my digitizer is deffinitely broken as well?
There is one big crack from the top to the bottom of my screen, about 3/4 of the way across from the left of the device. Everything to the left of the crack (most of the screen) works fine, whereas everything to the right is unresponsive. Does this sound like the digitizer if broken as well, or is the cracked glass just prohibiting it from recognizing the touches?
The LCD it's self appears completely undamaged.
Does it sound like I need to just try replace the glass, or should I probably be looking for a glass+digitizer kit replacement?
Thanks everyone!
Well I feel stupid.
After doing a bit more research I've found out that the digitizer basically is the glass, so I can't replace one without the other - so it was a pointless question
Feel free to delete this post if you want!

Cracked Screen Repair

Hey guys, good day.
My HTC Desire Eye screen cracked (I accidentally dropped it) and it really looks horrible. I am planning to replace the screen myself, and I am asking if anyone repaired their phone by themselves as well. I'll be buying the parts needed in eBay. I am also wondering if I can only replace the glass and not with the LCD? The LCD screen still looks impeccable despite the cracked glass and touch works perfectly. However, I am yet to find a tutorial that shows replacement of the glass module only.
Thank you very much in advance.

U can find tutorial on YouTube. And yes you have to replace entire screen not just the glass.
My advice is get it replaced from a expert. It doesn't cost much. Also buy original screen don't get a bad one.
