[Q] SLCD screen broken, replaceable with amoled? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
sorry if they has been answered elsewhere, ive been searching the web for days. I got a brand new HTC desire a couple of weeks ago and preceded to drop it, shattered the digitizer and damaged the LCD screen. I decided to do the repair myself and changed the parts no problem. The problem is the replacement screen wont work (it was brand new, genuine). My phone has an SLCD (checked part number against the replacements) and the replacement was an AMOLED.
Should the screen work no problem in my handset or do i need to get a hold of a SLCD? Also, im new to the rooting scene, but would this help 'fix' my problem?
Any help would be appreciated. I need to get my 2 weeks old phone working again haha.....i should have just sent it to HTC lol.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

If its AMOLED it will have the samsung logo on the rear of the LCD.

Damaged screen

Hi,
This is my first post here so I hope it's in the correct place.
I've got a Universal with a damaged screen (I trod on it ). Does any one know if it's possible to get a replacement (in the UK if possible)? If so, could you please tell me where from. Also, has anyone out there actually changed a screen on a Universal.? It looks a bit difficult to get the screen apart: I'm not sure where to start. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tony

Hi, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I dropped my Qtek 9000 on the floor and the screen broke. I bought a new LCD screen on ebay and replaced the screen my self. It was not very difficult and you only have to unscrew a total of 8 screws to do the job. I used the service manual to get some guidance in how to remove the screen.
Try these guys
I've not used them but remembered seeing them being talked about elsewhere in the forum.

HTC S710 Replacement screen..

Hey!
Can anyone point me to a place where i can buy a new display for my S710 ? As the one i have is broken..
~D
Oh and they have to ship worldwide..
If you want to replace it by yourself, you should have a clear idea that what's the lcd screen you want.
For safe sake, you'd better take apart you pda first to get the part number of the lcd screen, then you can get the right lcdscreen to replace it.
You can contact me after you get the number, i will check whether we have it in our stock.

Thanks! I will do that..
I need the exact same part and have been looking everywhere, nobody sells it. The only way I have found to repair it is through HTC who won't sell me the screen unless I pay them to fit it at £92 + vat! I paid £200 for the phone so there's no way I am paying that much. Anyone know where we can get one?
providing us with the part number would be helpful
any identification numbers on the lcd module itself would be helpful particularly a manufacturers name as there may be issues with using the same type of lcd but made by a different manufacturer
Okay i don't know if this can help others, but i have taken my S710 apart and after some sweat and a long time i got to the LCD display.. Heres what typed on it..
PN: 60H00088-00M
But there is no manufactor .. as far as i can see..
Hi, I'm looking for this LCD screen also. If anybody know's where to find, i'm in.
Best regards,
Jumea
hello all,
After spending some time to search for this parts, i got some information about it and may get some one for you, just wait some more days and i will inform you when i have get it.
Thanks

[Q] Capacitive buttons stop working

Today is a very sad day for me somehow my new htc one x's capaticive buttons stopped working i restarted and even factory resetted and they are not working anymore
my previous htc hd2 was stopped digitizer working too. How unlucky i am.
I guess I neet to install CWM and using on screen button
which rom do you reccomend? ı used to install couple roms to hd2 but i havent tried with one x
thank you all
Factory reset will only reset it to the rom you have flashed. Have you tried flashing the correct ruu for your phone? When you say it's new, how new? New enough to return to where you got it for replacement?

Yes this happened to me two days ago as well my buttons light up but that it so I looked everywhere for a fix but no luck now I'm on icsCOLDJELLY 3.2.1 AOKP so now I can use my phone not to sure if I did something wrong when I flashed ANDROID revolution 12 or maybe the firmware

capacitive buttons stopped working
my htc one x touch sensitive buttons have stopped working like a week ago, i then installed the coldjellybean by which i got that onscreen buttons after 2 days the buttons started working n i thought of selling the set but as i was going to make a deal with a person that day the problem appeared again, i dont have the warranty left and the screen replacement is quite not an option. Is there any trick that i can work on to make them work again.

it could be just the digitizer and on ebay you can find it quite cheap.

i took the phone to my local market n came to know that the their isnt any separate capacitive buttons cable, it is embedded within the lcd, so if i have to order then whole complete lcd + digizer + module, and i checked the online purchase price is almost the same price the local market ppl are offering that is near 60 dollars.
Just that i am not sure why does the buttons stopped working and if somehow why they started working n now have again stopped ;(

not sure what you mean.. look at this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Touch-S...865?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d02ec98e9
anyway it happened to me with another phone that a portion of the digitizer stopped working for a few days, then it started working again and then it stopped for good and had to replace it.

hmmm, well actually i was reading all the other threads with this issue and came upton this
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696552
Which shows "DO NOT try to replace the screen by yourself" and i can see that on my set that its rather v hard to do this thing instead everyone says to buy the whole module as it is very complex thing to do.

it is hard to separate the digitizer from the lcd but it's doable and nothing like the iphone digi+lcd that uses an epoxy adhesive. so if you are carefull (or have someone skilled doing it for you) you wont break the lcd and you'll save quite some money. it's true though that the new digitizer wont stick to the lcd as well as a "genuine combo digi+lcd" and you will notice dust building in between the two. my advice, if you know someone that is skilled enough, try get the digitizer off without breaking the lcd and if you manage that then buy the new digitizer. otherwise since you said that changing the whole digi+lcd is not an option you can always try sell your one x as damaged or use it as an expensive paperweight.
best of luck mate, i hope you solve it one way or another.

haha that paperweight thing made my day... well thanks for the advice but i think i am going to wait until it gets ok by itself as it happened before until then icecoldjelly rom would be a temporary solution for the onscreen buttons. Thanks anyway

help finding a digitizer and frame assembly.

so i got a s2 with a bad lcd screen, it leaked. the phone is like a week old with no insurance and im sure warranty wont cover this.
anyhow, i can't seem to find the replacement for the tmobile version, only for the international.
can they be cross-used?
anyhow, does anyone knows where to get it? can't seem to find the right one on ebay or anywhere else for that matter.
any help would really be appreciated.

You might be out of luck on this one. The screen is fused to the digitizer and the screen is an AMOLED screen which is not common in aftermarket and as far as i know is proprietary to samsung .

i found that is the whole front housing and lcd/digitizer.
i got the phone for free, and i was thinking on replacing my really beat up sensation with it... for 150 bucks sounds ok, but, it's from china, i dont like that :/
edit: i couldn't find a thread on the forums, but, here is a place where to get the full front off the device, which should make the whole fixing easy:

Screen repair is a complicated thing on HTC ONE X... I had the same problem, but not with the blank screen, just with different kinds of screen.. So, my advise is, if your motherboard wasn't defective before the screen repair, there are possibilites to be a different screen.. look, there are three screen producers for HTC.. maybe you got the wrong one... try to buy a screen from another HTC ONE X.. it's difficult to find, but the best way to have a original and functional screen! Good luck man..

You need to verify the color of your flat.. but, there's an easy way to look for it, without need of disassembly.. I'll search for it..xda has a forum with the explanation..

if you are going to fix it yourself, or a repair shop? look at the lcd flex cable there is numbers on is. just look for the screen that matches with the old one. also, buy the lcd and digitizer as one assembly. good luck
