Hello!
My phone fell on the ground and now the display-glass is shattered.
I would like to buy only the display-glass without the display itself and go to a phone shop that they can replace it for idk like 15-20€ maybe.
I think that would be the best, because the display itself isn't broken, and i think its better then to order a 3rd-party-display (concerns about the quality of the screen).
But where can I get that? Can you provide me links please? I can't find anything...
(And if thats not available, can you recommend me a full screen replacement?)
There are plenty of sellers on Aliexpress that supply Mi A1 displays, although all come with the LCD integrated. While replacing the glass separate from the LCD panel was relatively easy in the past, modern fully laminated LCD / Glass stacks are extremely difficult to separate and reattach without damage.
I suggest you replace the display LCD as well, as the glass is laminated to the display and replacing only the digitizer will be a laborious process, often with very low success. You can buy parts from Aliexpress or other websites, and do the replacement yourself, if you feel you are up for it.

Hi,
I had to replace the screen on my defy once. It was a major chore. I ended up scratching the frame while prying off the screen (its stuck on with some pretty strong glue). I also had to use my own glue - I used water proof clear silicon. When I got it together, my Defy looked beat up. The silicon was too thick and I ended up cracking the frame near the screws.
I recently ordered the housing, screen from: www.cnn.cn . And while it was expensive, it came with a sticky outline that I used to easily replace the screen. I was able to discard the frame of my first defy with the nicks. The end results is that my defy looks like new, even though the back and side might have some nicks and cuts.
I think the store ships from HK. It took a while for it to arrive, but it usually does arrive. I'd recommend it.

EDIT: I just reread and you probably will just need to replace the LCD and not the Digitizer. The Digitizer is glued on to the frame but the LCD underneath is free and pushed by the mainboard to the digitizer. You do not need to replace the digitizer in order to correct the LCD issues. In anycase, the choice is yours. CNN.cn does not sell the LCD however.

Wow thanks buddy!! The digitizer is working 100%, usable. The only problem is black dead pixel even reboot to recovery mode, the black dot still can be seen in blue wordings in recovering mode. Since the changing the LCD doesn't require changing the digitizer, That save lots of money.
Heard LCD sceen has to be OEM cos compatibe may not boot up?

I would always go with oem. The lcd is buy far way more expensive than the digitizer unfortunately. Good luck.
I had broken my One V's Display Glass screen a month ago, the HTC authorized service center informed that the LCD as well as the display glass screen has to be replaced even though just the screen is damaged, the LCD is fine. They said that the replacement part comes bundled with LCD and the glass screen. The cost of replacement will come to Rs.5000 (~100$)
I searched ebay and found replacement glass screens available for as low as 20$.
Should I buy the replacement screen available on ebay? I have no experience in cell phone repairs and this will be risky.

IF you have no experience i suggest you go to the service centre as you COULD damage your phone further more...
Isn't the One V's LCD fused to the glass and inseparable? Those Ebay sellers are probably misleading you.
If you want to try anyway, you should have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w96ldQq5Q2k to see what's involved.
This is what I had read... "It’s also laminated to the glass front, making for superb viewing angles" from the Verge review (http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/18/2950522/htc-one-v-review#section_4)

I have replaced countless touch screens in my life, but even I won't really think about the V because of the unibody housing. Even with proper instructions and good quality tools and materials (silica glue, alcohol for cleaning and so on...) it will be hell of a job. I personaly don't think that $100 is a high price for OEM parts replaced by the authorised service.

they are not fused together, just glued with special silica glue and tempered. It is replaceable, but it is hard enough for a pro.
If you want to maintain the good quality of the display, you will need to clean troughoutly the LCD with absolute alcohol, or any spec. cleaning liquid in a "cleen room" for not to contaminate it after cleaning, then glue them together with proper silica glue evenly troughout the whole contour of the screen. It is hard work and damn expensive, thus oem will replace the whole screen-touch screen parts.
Thanks for the opinions. I will go with replacement from service center.
Same here!
Hey. I dropped my One V from the bed today morning! :crying: It got a huge crack on the top left!
The crack is not on "the screen" but it still looks pretty awful :-( I have attached the pics. See the last pic for the crack.
What should i do? Please suggest cost-effective methods. Any help is appreciated.

if the touch and everything else still works...then live with it...or you can pay to have it repaired by HTC
I thought one V had Corning gorilla glass.
It's not supposed to break that easily wtf?
You can smash a diamond with a hammer. Like Gorilla glass, it is very hard and almost impossible to scratch, but can be easily shattered by sufficient impact shock.

I have broken my touch screen,and buy a new touch screen by TAOBAO.COM(Like ebay).And I have to face the problem:how to replace it....
My touch screen is seriously damaged,and should I do it by myself?
My idea is break the touch screen carefully to avoid damage the LCD screen,does it possible?
My first phone is touch diamond and have the same problem....Then I damaged the touch screen and the lcd screen both....I do not want it happened again...
Anyone can give my some advice?
It is too expensive for me to replace it by service centre....And some pros says that will takes $30 to help me.....
Thx
Has anyone had success(or failure) with this yet?
Look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w96ldQq5Q2k
If you know what is going on, than try. If not then no. A pro is needed, if you want good product at the and.
just a heads up guys, a CDMA Screen will NOT work on the GSM phone
No gorilla glass for OneV

One V does not come with Corning gorilla glass.. This was discussed even in some other threads. Even if it have, gorilla glass will only be scratch-resistant and not break-resistant.
I'm getting mine fixed tomorrow as ive cracked the screen also.
The shop thats fixing it confirmed the lcd is bundled with the glass.
It's costing me £50 for the screen and £20 to fit it.
these screens seem very easy to break as my wife has cracked hers now also so I suppose the golden rule is be extra careful with these phones.
I had a wildfire a wildfire s and a desire and never cracked one of them and i'd dropped them all a lot harder than my hov ( which only fell 2ft ). I conclude its down to the raised effect of the glass.
this is because HOV doesn't come with gorilla glass
YouTube maybe???
this post had no solutions so I just opened YOUTUBE and searched for it

There is a video on YouTube decomposing and reuniting the whole machine and we were said it is hard to nicely reunite the machine.
I have thus a request, are there chemical solutions melting silica glues with no damages to the whole machine?

Apparently no, or none that can be brought off from a shelf. Cured silica based optical glue can only be dissolved with highly toxic and flammable solutions only. You can altough soften them with denaturetad alcohol or xylene, but there is a high chance you damage the display panel itself with them. Altoug I am talking about the dismantling of the touch panel and the display panel here.
The machine and the display unit (the two of them together) is just glued with standard heat activated glue, it can be softened with denaturated alcohol (which does not harms the other parts) or heat, and the the unit can be brought of from the phone (with phisical force of course). You can glue it together again with standard double sided glue tapes (2 or 1mm width) you can ebay them for. I haven't dismantled One V as of now, but I had a Desire X wich also had a unibody aluminium housing and a unified display panel, but there the whole unit was damaged, so damaging them wasn't a problem when dismantling it, and a prebuild unit was the replacement.
hello guys! yesterday the inevitable happened, and my phone fell off. since i can't make a photo of it, i'll put another one that looks similar.
http://cdn.gottabemobile.com/wp-con...-One-cracked-screen-HTC-Advantage-620x348.jpg
my question is, what needs to be replaced now? the whole display or only the glass? cause the whole display is a lot more expensive than the glass, and maybe i can save some money.
thanks!

Looks like just the glass. However, the glass is glued to the LCD, and I believe you need to heat it to soften the glue and pull the glass off (which can also result in breaking the LCD). Then glue the new glass to the LCD. None of which is that easy.
I tend not to be very successful with these types of repairs, and haven't personally tried it. So maybe others can speak more in terms of first-hand experience.
Send it to HTC. It cost me less for HTC to repair than it would have cost for me to buy the parts alone.
They replaced the screen, digitizer, housing, speaker covers, back cover all for £103 including 2 way shipping.
Less than 2 weeks for repair and good as new when it came back.
I recently shattered the front glass on my Z1C. The display still works, but I get so many random ghost touches that it is unusable. Just wondering if anyone here has replaced the screen digitizer by itself rather than buying the digitizer + LCD screen together. Obviously it would be more difficult, however many posts about replacing both have mentioned the lower quality of the LCD image. Since my LCD still works, it would seem like a better option to use the stock one rather than a cheap knock-off. Not to mention it would be a little bit cheaper (I saw a kit which included glue, UV torch, tools, cleaner, and the digitizer for around $18 US). But on the other hand, with the added complexity comes additional risk that I will screw it up and end up worse off than just living with a duller display.
I’m still on the fence about which way to go here. Quality is subjective, so maybe I’m worrying over nothing and the new LCD would be good enough for me. I’d really appreciate your opinions.
Thanks!
Replace all.
I would suggest you to replace the LCD and digitizer completely. I broke mine in December last year. A small glass crack along the power button side made the top half of the digitizer stopped working. The LCD was fine though. I had to connect a wireless mouse to make a backup, copy some stuffs and use my old phone, while the replacement part came. Bought mine from Witrigs.com for $42 including front housing adhesive and shipping. Repairing was easy. Just heat the front part, lift it carefully. Swap the old part for the new one.
But like you I wanted to separate the glass digitizer from the LCD first. After several attempts removing the glue and the glass, the LCD had burnt spots. Maybe I applied a little too much heat in trying to remove the glass. And the broken glass left some permanent scratch marks on the LCD even after cleaning.
In all, trying to separate the LCD and glass has become very hard since last year. I've been repairing phones and tablets for years, mainly broken LCD or glass or both. From my experience, its better to change the whole part now.
Wish you good luck for the repair. Lets hope your phone lives again!!
same here. its very hard without professional stuff to change the display glass without damaging the touch under it. best way is to buy a new "complete" display module (glass, digitizer, touch) so that u only have to press the felx ribbon to ur phone. then using the glue stripes to fix it (using a hair dryer makes it easier to press it in).
Before the installation test the functionality
Hi there!
Can someone trustfully confirm, that witrigs.com is a good source for parts?
Unfurtunately i broke my LG G4 Glass. Touchscreen and Display are fine, just the glass is damaged. I read on the internet that i should buy the entire display. Is possibile to repair only the glass on this phone? I would save 50 euros

Its a lot harder to put just the glass in it versus the time saved to put entire lcd. I know here in US whole lcd and digi assemblys are under 40$ american
Yes, you can. I've done it several times. The glass is around 15 bucks. You need heatgun, uv lamp and uv glue. Of course there is a guides I. YouTube without glue but with duct tape
While the glass is cheaper to replace in terms of the cost of that part alone, the actual time and effort you have to put into getting ALL of the old glass off the device cleanly and then having to place and mount the new piece of glass is not an easy task. It's actually easier - and it costs more - to buy the entire front display assembly which is the metal chassis of the G4 with the display/digitizer ready to go and it literally just takes a few screws and popping the connectors on 4 ribbon cables to swap the motherboards and other parts.
While some folks are adept at replacing the damaged glass alone, it's honestly not worth it to even attempt if you've never ever done that type of repair before and you could end up making things worse overall, especially if you end up cracking/damaging the replacement glass.
Best recommendation: get the full display assembly and go from there, it's worth the additional expense IMO.
