anyone know where to get just the touch screen digitizer replacement part.?
the LCD part is fine
As was written on iFixit
The front glass is adhered to the display frame, meaning you'll need a heat gun to get the LCD out—or replace the whole front panel.

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
Hey All.
Been using nexus 7 2013 since last 2 years. My nephew dropped it and the screen cracked from the side. The device is working fine. The touch doesn't work at the the area of the cracks on the top right, and a few other places. But works everywhere else on the screen. My question is what has to be replaced, the digitizer or the entire LCD. My personal diagnoses is only the upper glass needs to be replaced. Please advice further!
Digitizer is for $15 and the whole thing is for $50. What has to be replaced and how to find out?
Please see the pictures and help me please
Unless you have a way of separating the glass/digitizer from the actual lcd you need the whole assembly. It's all glued together you can't just lift off the glass.

You'd be much better off replacing the whole assembly. Separating the digitizer from the lcd can be done, but the problem is with locating a digitizer that works. I've tried this for about 5 times, and each time I had to return the digitizer to the vendor.
Also, since the bezel (frame) is designed so the digitizer back always touches the lcd surface (they are glued together on the original assembly), you'll have those strange "rainbow" spots on them when the device is turned off.
Not to mention that if you use an adhesive that's too thin, there's a chance the digitizer might be bent, not enough to crack it, but enough to distort touch sensitivity, resulting in some spots being unresponsive. In short, too much of a hassle for a 30-buck saving.
I have an issue with my Lg G3 LS990 touch screen digitizer glass. The glass popped up from left bottom and can see the light clearly. So, thought of replacing the glass. I saw in aliexpress that Touch screen digitizers are available. So is only glass replacement is possible in G3 ? Display is very fine. I happened to see in youtube videos that only LCD replacement is done but not Glass digitizer replacement. Could anyone clear my doubt? had anyone replaced their only glass and using it without any issues?
You can do it but it's quite difficult and there's a risk of damaging the LCD so if I were you I wouldn't even try as it requires a certain experience repairing cellphones. Your best option so far will be replacing LCD + digitizer which most likely comes as one piece
whole lcd digitizer with frame ain't that expensive at ebay, i had cracked digitizer and fastest and easiest way to fix it was just to replace whole assembly.

Actually i have already ordered the digitizer from aliexpress.com. As they are selling only digitizers, i thought it is possible to eplace only glass. So u mean to say that replacing only glass isnt possible? What are the chances of working if i only replace glass but not whole assembly?

replacing just glass is possible but it requires special tools and it's quite complicated task to do, replacing whole assembly can be done just under 10 minutes with screwdriver.
As far as i know lcd and digitizer are glued together, you need to warm that adhesive to separate those and lcd needs to be glued to new digitizer and in this phase i think you need OCA or LOCA glue and UV lamps or something like that... So at that point of the replacing glass process i tought it would be easier to just by that whole assembly

Is it not possible to replace without LOCA and UV u mentioned? Just normal procedure doesnt works? The seller is sending me all tools and sticker. Didnt they suffecient enough to replace?
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I quess LOCA is liquid and OCA is sticker, same stuff different format. It is possible to do, but without good tools and enough experience i doubt it works or looks good. I have been repairing electronic equipment for years on work but i still wont try to change that digitizer at home because i don't have that kind of tools here...
if you need information about that process look samsung digitizer replace videos from youtube, phone is different but process it self ain't that much different.

It is possible but a little difficult. Separating the glass from the display is the difficult part. Search online for videos.
the glass can be replaced but it is very difficult for you and i suggest you buy a whole oled display
Hey guys ! I've broken glass in my a50, digitizer and display are fine. Can I replace just a glass or its stick to the digitizer and display and I have to replace all 3 things?

shops usually wont touch it unless replacing the entire display assembly.. reason being is because its difficult to separate the glass from the rest without damaging the display or digitizer
