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.

Hi i have cracked screen in my NEW (!) desire .
There is only a small hairline crack visible in the glass underneath the outer cover of the phone (i assume it's the screen - as seen on the famous tj's tear-down photostory ). The outer glass is completely intact (how the F#$% did that happen?).
When the phone is on the screen is all green, yellow - like a leaked lcd.
So here goes my question: how do i check/know if the digitizer is fine? Or will i only know it after i replace the AMOLED screen?
No expert here, but as far as I know digitizer has to do with the touchscreen, so I guess that if your touchscreen works(font mean the display) the digitizer works too...

Heh,
that is exactly the problem that i don't know if it works. Phone boots normaly, but i can't see anything on the display so i can't see if the digitizer works the straight-forward way.
I think the only way to check that would be to connect the phone to the computer somehow and see some "telemetry" - i was hoping for a suggestion in this area
You can try to use adb logcat boot up your phone and try to push various buttons (blindly ) if logcat shows interactions, digitizer should be fine.
i tried to connect to logcat but it's impossible if the "usb debugging" feature is disable in the phone.
Nevertheless i replaced the display and the phone works perfectly now
(note to self: do not boulder with your desire in your pocket )
how to check that only glass has broken not digitizer? please answer me. i am going to buy phone which is working fine and has only cracked screen which is visible, looks like only glass broken handset, how to know if digitizer is damaged or not ?
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

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.

lg g3 screen q's... lines on screen and seperate issue "bubble" between lcd and glass
Please see picture... 2 different phones I bought used, as-is
The phone that has vertical lines in the screen is funny. I know the most likely response will be: replace the lcd/digitizer assembly and it will be fixed, but I just want to make sure I cover all the bases before going there. I pulled it apart and reseated the connectors, which didn't change anything...
**the interesting thing is that when it first boots up (first second or 2), the lg / life is good logo displays normally with no vertical lines...then the lines show up as in the picture. The digitizer (touch) works normally on this phone
anything else I can check with the lcd or ribbon cables?
copy and paste picture I can't post it due to being a new user, if anyone would be kind enough to repost it in a reply that would be great!

On the other phone (which touch and lcd work fine on) it looks to me like perhaps the digitizer was replaced and is too close to the lcd in the center (touching) or maybe water damage or something like that but not sure...
any advice on how to carefully try to repair this?
Both phones were purchased used as=-is with no history so no warranty or anything like that obviously.
Any input very greatly appreciated
Hi,
Unfortunately for me i dropped my phone and cracked my tempered glass in several places. gladly the screen underneath was perfectly fine after drop however, it has developed a fault as the screen won't turn on at all. I tried turning it off and restarting and although i can hear the boot up logo sound i see no picture at all. i can receive calls but cannot answer due to screen not displaying.
The screen had four main pressure cracks.... one is top left, one on the ear speaker, one bottom middle and one bottom left of phone. hopefully you can see it in picture.
Can you give advice on what to try or do to resolve this? will i need a new screen or disassemble to see what the issue is?
I've only had the phone for 2/3 months at most
Thanks in advance
looks like i will answer my own question....
i bought a replacement lcd & digitiser, one complete unit and swapped the necessary components over to new screen. all is working and good. not sure if the screen is repairable but there are other parts inside this screen worth selling on. it still has a non cracked immaculate screen along with the charging port and other stuff inside old screen.
at a cost of £70, i consider this an expensive fix
Thanks for the input kakawak
cheers
