God dam it, Smashed my HTC screen

[Damo_Sport]

Anyone know a good site or know if there easily replaced?

Its a HTC HD and the screen has smashed, it still works perfectly fine so if its to expensive i wont get it fixed.

Just hope it hasnt damaged the LCD underneath...

its easy to fix (solongs your good with a screw driver), and it wont be the screen, it will be the digitizer glass. ebay have them for sale...

wouldn't even bother trying to replace just the digitiser (it's probably laminated to the lcd)

 

[The Fatty]

its normally not, the screen sits just behind the digitiser

i.e.

I got one for my Sony Xperia X10 and HTC Touch 2, both were easy to fit with a disassembly guide from the net...

p.s. i realise these may not be for your phone, they are just examples.

Easy to change. Probably just the outer screen that is smashed. Takes around a hour max from start to finish. Ebay is best place for replacement parts.

on my htc hd2 the digitiser and lcd were glued together

you can get just digitisers but they are a c**t to change

Well it still works atm. Cant really feel the smash on the screen but its about 1/4 of the whole screen is smashed. Il just wait til it breaks a bit more until i fix it. Contract on phone runs out in 6-7 months so im trying to hold out til then

i'd try something like this

should be fairly easy to change

Digitizer is easy to change. If it seems stuck just use a hairdryer on it and it comes off easy then.

 

[The Fatty]

yep

Sounds similar to what happened to mine last year. ~£130 for HTC to repair iirc.

Ended up buying an insane Otterbox case after that.

i bet it's not so easy with a smashed digitiser

I changed the other halfs digitizer on Friday evening on her Samsung Galaxy Ace (was smashed due to her dropping it)

Hardest bits was forgetting to take out the SD card and wondering why I couldn't remove the main PCB from case and putting the ribbon cable for the digitizer in
