Thinking of buying but... - Desire General

I found an ad for 15$ for a Desire with a broken screen., How easy would it be for me to relapse the screen with a new one and how easy would this be to do? Also does anyone know somewhere in the Vancouver area where they would be able to do this

There exists a guide for this here on xda, when I remember correctly. Try the search.

[Q] Replacement LCD screen for atom

does any one know of a link/site etc that supply LCD screen for Atom?
silly question...is it the same LCD as the magician? hmhm. I have tryed the usual places (ebay, google) but with no luck. (well, non that i could see).
any info is appreciated a as usual
My LCD is dead
May be anybody know where i can bay new LCD for my Atom?
I had the same problem, but after many hours of searching nothing came up.
So, i've sent it to official support @ Hong Kong.
yep me too. Apparently, o2 does not allow the repair centres to sell the lcds to the public. Now I have to pay almost AU$400 to have it repalced by the Australian repair centre.
Its a joke considering the price is only AU$150 from the Thailand repair centre (I got a sale quote for the lcd but then they told me they cant sell it to me because I am not a repair centre :x ).
FINALLY!!!!

I just ordered a new screen for my IPAQ 6815 for €75 incl. shipping from Ebay. It's probably arriving next week. Got it from seller hongkongop. If you can't find a cheap one, remember that the next PDA's use the same (NEC) screen:

- HP iPAQ 6800 6812 6815 6818 6828
Changing and getting a NEW LCD screen for O2 Atom is easy!!
I have broken my LCD screen for O2 atom before and went through the horrible same pain of only being able to receive the phone call and calling the last person who you previously talked to.
Getting a new LCD screen is easy. Now, there are many sellers on eBay who sells new LCD screens. However, one of the hardest part was to find out how to change it.
Believe it or not, O2 is one of the most easiest handset to dissemble. I found my guide on google which was in chinese, however, the pictures themselves were pretty much self explanatory.
Hope this helps.
I have the replacement LCD for the Atom, as well as the touchscreen.
The LCD is $80. The touchscreen is $8.
PM me if you would like more information.

My LCD screen (front part) was crack last week and I decide to pop in to O2 authorize service center to ask for replacing. You know how much their charge? Dam.... expensive RM535 (Diagnosis+labor+LCD) even it is still under warranty.
Of course, I'm not proceed. Next I walk out and went to the freelance services center who situated in opposite building and try my luck.Guys, I am lucky (although go to paid for it) and manage to fix this crack by paying RM190 which include the screen protector.

This is much harder than I thought it would be!
***Warning do not attempt replacing just the touch screen unless you are extremely technically proficient (i.e. you can solder under a microscope.
If you want to replace a LCD and touch screen in one unit it would be easier, but my connection is no longer good and I'm getting flickering!! Tips anyone?
I was hoping to wait for a HTC diamond to come to Australia, but looks like I might be forced into going for something else

Replacement housing for Excalibur

Hello there friends!
I'm thinking on getting a replace housing for my aged Dash, so it looks decent with the wm6.5 ROM
. I think the procedure is similar to replacing a broken screen, and I only need a T6 and an opening tool...
Does anyone knows where to find one for a reasonable price, besides eBay?
Do anyone knows if a "dummy" phone would serve as a donor?
Has anyone here done this before?
i searched the forum, but couldn't find recent info on this
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Please read the sticky as is guide linked not sure exactly what want but should give good idea

I am actually trying out the same thing. Waiting for my dummy to arrive. Sears has T6 (in Illinois) for like $3. And you need a precision Phillip's head too. I bought both today and spent right around $7. Dummy shipped from NJ on Monday. I will let you know when it gets here if it works. I read in an archive on here of another HTC model dummy having all the same outer housing and some inner parts as real phone. Keeping fingers crossed for real. Would be awesome to have a 'NEW' phone with 6.5 and in all black too.

Found it on eBay. Local T-Mo store was supposed to have on but girl never went to look for me after she sold my brother a phone. She said she thought they were glued. But like I said I read on here of an older HTC model having all the same outers just no inners. Tracked it this morning. Should be here tomorrow morning. As long as it has screw holes I can make it work. My old silverhousing is 3 yrs old. I take good care but 3 yrs is 3 yrs. Will let you know.

Sad to report
Yeah I am sad to say that my dummy phone came in the mail today. It was an EPIC FAIL. The only possible salvageable parts may be the keyboard. And that would be with some modifications as I do not think the buttons are transparent. The back of the screen where the LCD would be is solid black with the image printed on it. And the screw holes are different. I might be able to do something with it but I doubt it. It has none of the needed posts to place wires and circuit boards as the OEM. It was worth a shot though. I want a black DASH but don't really want to pony up the $100 or more for it where mine works fine. Its just ugly in silver. Calculator like. Ah well. So there ya have it. The dummy phone is a no go. I would post pictures but why bother. Anyone know where I can find an all black housing that is NOT clip on or a case? I can find the silver crap but not the black ones. Well thanks if you can. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
too bad to read, friend.
i'm checking everyday @ebay and I've found an HTC branded one for $29... I'll keep looking
too bad i came to late, i would have told you dummy phones are not the same housing as regular phones, i tried it with several sprint phones when i worked at radio shack, they are made differently.

Yeah well its ok. My kids can score a cool spy toy now. I just want a black housing. I HATE the silver crap. I would take a red one with the silver crap but all I have found is green, pink and orange. Still looking though. Was worth a shot. Lesson learned.
Well how does $25 sound, shipping included?

From what I'm hearing, the LCD for the Dash and the Dash 3g are the same thing.

Can anyone else confirm it? Any guides/step by step on how to do it? I assume I will still need to get a housing
First off, it would be good to know what exactly happend to your phone. Like, what kind of accident. I may be able to help you with the issue of getting the phone apart.
I have the US Sprint version of this (s511 HTC Snap) and have a cracked screen from a drop to the floor. There are dash replacement screens on ebay for $15-$30, but ot find any confirmation that it for sure is the same one. There are instructional videos on youtube as well. I haven't done it yet, also waiting for confirmation that the dash lcds are okay.
Just dropped my Dash 3g this morning and am looking for the same info. Dammit! Should have gotten the insurance!
i would also like to know if the gash screen is the same as the dash 3G to repair a phone.Anyone know? Thanks
Bump, I would also like to know. It'd be nice to snag one up from ebay and replace the screen P:
Hi
does anyone know if they are the same? Cant find any replacement screens for sale on ebay.

Hey guys. I have gotten alot from this website so I would like to give back. I own and operate a mobile phone repair shop and would like to extend my services to this forum. Most of you seem pretty techical so even if you just want the part (microphone, ear speaker, Loud speaker, LCD) I will provide it for you at a low cost plus shipping of course. I mostly deal with hardware issues so please don't PM me or post asking about software, I am a total noob when it comes to that!

Screens and Repair Video Available
First, to answer one of the questions asked previously in this thread: This is not the same screen as the original Dash. The LCD itself might be but the connector is very different and the two are not compatible.
However, there are now several places online selling these. Just do a Google search for "t-mobile dash 3g lcd part only" and you'll find some people selling these. Note that they're quite a bit more expensive than the original Dash screens. That should change over time, though.
There's also a video of this repair on YouTube. You should be able to find that by doing a YouTube search for "Dash 3G Repair". This is actually a pretty simple repair (even easier than the original Dash) so if you're a little handy this shouldn't be too tough.
Anyone knows exact part number of screen? (Manufacturer and part number)
thanks.
DASH 3G parts
My just out of warranty Dash's trackball broke, I tiried to fix it myself and succesfully opened the dash3g, no good to me now so if someone wants a parts dash with no trackball I might be interested in getting rid of it, wend back to DASH 1 until I can get a Win 7 phone from MSFT .....

Display screen digitizer + LCD repalcement. HELP!!!

Hi sorry to bother I'm looking for a replacement of the whole display screen digitizer + LCD.
Does anybody can recommend a good one.
I've been searching on amazon but mayority of people complain about that the digitizer stop working on the repalcement after a while.
Any help appreciated.
There really isn't any "good one". If you want one that works, get an OEM one made by HTC.
Hey,
I think this might help you!
http://compare.ebay.com/like/290659299424?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y
Of course the higher you go the quality will probably be better but for $15 with free shipping I dont think you can go wrong if the first place, if it does not last long just order a new one!
If you have TEP you are better off getting it replaced by sprint for a new phone.
Good luck!
If I helped please hit that thanks button!

I found a used OEM front panel (LCD & digitizer) in good shape on ebay shipped for $50. The guys at my sprint store are cool and installed it for me. That's half what asurion gets and you keep your software setup

There are two different LCD connectors, a wipe one and a "normal" one. The ONLY way to see what one your phone has is to open it up.

[Q] New display but after 3 hours broke again

Hi to all, today besides it looks like Friday 13th. (my car broke down) I took after I dropped my HTC One X my phone from the service with a new display.
After 2 hours I have been called and saw that the display again is broken from the left side, near the usb towards the top, (power button) is a line and cracked.
I really don't know and paid much money today and to pay again?
Could this happen or should I blame myself?
I always take good care of the phone and always carry it in my side pocket which is wide enough...
Can anyone advice me what to do?
If you are 100% positive that the screen was intact when you got it out from the service, you should take it back and council with the person who serviced the phone. It there are no signs of physical abuse or anything, you should have some kind of warranty on the display or at least on the changing service.

thank u for the reply..the service will not give me a new one..but is the display so sensitive? i mean could it break by wrong installation?
Are you sure it was completely perfect at the service center? Did you inspect your phone whatever the screen was replaced correctly or there were any cracks from the beginning?
There's not much you can do over here... You can tell them what happened and ask for replacement but I'm not sure they will replace it for free...

Thank you!! Great and I ordered a new display there and the price is much cheaper than the price offered here in Skopje, Macedonia.
But still 1 question how to recognize a clone from an original screen?
What I noticed is that the screen replaced on my phone is slight smaller as at the bottom part I can see the led light trough the house shining.
Also the left < is not shining while the home and > button is lighting.
The time before (when it has been replaced also) I had the same problem. At daytime its hard to notice but at night its very clear that only 2 buttons are lighting up.
Hahahahaha epic fail.......cough goo cough gle is cough your best friend.
here you can see my broken screen and the navigation button which is not lighting up
That has been the same case with the other replacement.
Also the crack is at the same position as the last one
I paid 100 euro for this one.

LOL :good:
Ok here my last try as in the 3 days I did not get any answer, it might be that this issue is unknown?
Anyway one more try..
My HTC One X broke now a couple of times and the last time it broke at the same space as before, again I did not drop it
At the bottom I can clearly see a small open space and the 3 navigation led light shining although the navigation arrow on the left (see attached picture) is not lighting up and at night it can't be seen.
The main reason for this topic to get more informed and to put a claim at the mobile phone service and to get my money back.
Also looking at Ebay for a screen replacement it looks like a jungle as all are claiming to sale original displays but again prices are from 45 - 150 euro's. Is there some way to recognize a none (clone) original screen from a original?
Again sorry for this chain of mine on this topic but i just wonder why twice my display cracked at the same place.
It's just a coincidence that the screen broke at exactly the same point...
By looking at what you've said... I think the screen might not have fitted correctly... Hence causing the led not to shine as brightly as it should... May be there is some gap left...
About the screen originality... It's really hard to determine... If you could send us the link of the part which you are buying.. Then someone might be able to judge it's authenticity..

Thank you very much your answer
I also think it was not placed on the correct way and than the issue of the left navigation without lighting up as it should.
And the cap.
I wrote to rounded.com but no reply from them.
Maybe if someone could take a look at Ebay in Europe and to advise me which one to buy?
Should I buy the whole thing again complete or just the glass?
Also can be in a PM here.
Again thanks for the help :good: :good: :good:
They say its easier to replace the touchpanel and the digitizer in one.....many people had trouble to disassemble the 2 components from each other !

Thanks, any place you can advise?
Listen, stop complaining that people aren't answering your questions. As Mr.Hoff has repeatedly tried to tell you, people have NO OBLIGATION to answer you, nor does it mean that because they're on XDA They know the answer to your questions. XDA is a priviledge, without XDA you probably wouldn't have a place to even ask your question.
NOW TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
The difference between HTC Screen and a Generic Replacement screen is alot.
HTC Screen = LCD2 which is basically HD screen
Generic = LCD Screen with a much lesser resolution.
Also the part numbers are different, the only REAL way to tell whether you have the LCD2 screen or not.
However I cannot tell you the exact part number for a OEM HTC LCD2 Display.
Now stop ranting.
