Hi y'all,
Since 4 weeks I'm working on a new project; White 'nd red Desire. I got a brown HTC desire (GSM) from a friend as a gift, after he threw it on the ground and destroyed the LCD.
My first plan was to disassemble the Desire and order a new LCD. However, the external case was scratched and had many bumps and pits. I thought I should fix it and that's how this project started.
Below are some pictures and what's left to do.
Pictures;
Disassemmbly:

Sanded result:

To-do list:
Order LCD
Red accents on both sides.
Assembly
Test
Order and replace digitizer
When disassembling, I accidentily cracked the digitizer, so that needs replacing too.. Going to test it with the new LCD first, just to check if it's working...
Questions? Idea's? Let me know!
Looks good.

ok, first off all, i've been a naughty boy.
when my screen broke (read digitizer) i've opened my mda compact.
nothing new to me, because i opened all my phones to clean them once in a while.
the reason i'm doing that is because i'm working with steel, so bits of steel always stick to the magnets in the phone, the speaker, and mic.
when i opened my mda, i had to loosen the connector wich goes to my display.
and thats where all went wrong.
i was used in pulling the black thingies, in the direction of the cables, but this one i had to lift UP instead of pulling it.
you all know what happend after i pulled.(for those who dont. I BROKE THE BLACK THINGIE)
but the digitizer is already on its way from hongkong, coz it was only 15 euro's (excl transport) instead of the 189 euro's they would let me pay in holland for a complete lcd replacement.
now i'm desperatly seeking the connector wich is highlighted in the next foto.

Like i see it, it's not normal.
I would sent it back.
That does not look normal at all. The second picture seems to show a hole more than a gap. Maybe its misaligned? Either case, I think you should get a replacement.
Not normal at all. I would send it back for a replacement.

Not normal. Looks like when they machined it they got a little carried away on that side.
doesn't look normal to me either . you should get a replacement for that
Hi,
My phone is in pristine condition, however today I am somewhat angry that a piece of metal coating had come off the 'back' button. The picture below is not my device but it's and similar illustration of what I am explaining:

I am wondering if HTC will consider this under warranty or just cosmetic damage. And any tips to cover it up. Thanks
** SNAP ** mine two.
Yeah mine too. So annoying :-(

back button , bat not as bad as yours. it happened when i was cleaning my phone and cloth got stucked there. so be carefull whenn cleaning
Ah fawk, that's bad...gotta be careful , good to know :s
So here's the deal.
One day, I dropped my defy "accidentally" inside a water closet. I put it up high in the shelves and suddenly it drops down to the closet.
now the left part of the screen is unable to be touched anymore. as could be seen in the screenshot below. the green areas are the ones that are broken

as this is a surely hardware problem, are there any other solutions than:
a. buy a new LCD screen (hard to find)
b. buy a new phone
thanks for the help guys
bump..........
Sorry
Since it is a hardware problem, I can't think of any other solution besides purchasing another LCD/phone. I'm sorry.
That said, I have put my defy underwater many times. The touch screen stop working when wet, but I had no issues with it once it dried. Maybe the problem was from the impact?
I bought a Desire with broken touch and screen, can receive calls but no light from lcd, i put my screen on this phone
and does not display or light...my lcd is amodel and this phone maybe has SLCD? i put touch and work i hear when I press the digit number.
My phone is made on taiwan and has amodel and desire bought is made on china A8181 PB99200? how do i know has s-lcd or amoded?
and another thing on optical trackpad i see a red light wheen i power phone.
I want to know what can be... i don't have money to send to repair...
