[Q] Has anyone swapped a Sony display for a Sharp one? - HTC One X

Hi everybody,
I hope something similar hasn't been posted already, if so please forgive me. I've been doing a lot of reading and researching and haven't found an solution to my problem yet.
I accidentally broke the LCD screen in my Internacional HOX.. took it apart to see what Display I need and it came with a Sony Display. Has anybody had one of these in the international version??? All I've read is people having it with the ATT one... Mine is the Tegra3
Right now I'm in Nepal, and can only get the display from UK in a couple of days with a friend that flies in the country. Found some really nice Displays selling in the UK and Germany, contacted sellers but only one was able to respond and say his product was made by Sharp.
my question is... Can I change my Sony display for the Sharp one??? Or will I have syncing problems, color reproduction fault, etc?
I can't really afford to buy one of those expensive displays and send them back, airmail here takes over a month and seller would not replace my display. So I can't really test.
Anyone done this already?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

[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:
- O2 Atom/Atom Exec/Atom life
- Mita C Mio A700/A701
- 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.

How does Russian work?
http://mikechannon.net/index.html has a number of manuals. Dissassembly on this page http://mikechannon.net/Manuals Page 3.htm
The dissassembly manual for the Atom is here http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_hp_rw_6815/ (ignore that it is a HP)
There are online service manuals for $10 in places

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
Unless I could stand a few months of no PDA...

Anyone know where to get HTC mainboards?

I've recently gotten into the hobby of buying broken phones and reselling them for just enough more to cover my costs. (that's why i'm calling it a hobby).
However, I recently purchased a pretty smashed up Tilt - it needed a new LCD and an entirely new housing.
After investing that $140, I've come to find that the mainboard is probably bad, as it wont power on.
Rather than toss my money in the crapper, I want to see about replacing the mainboard, but cant find ANYONE who sells them online...perhaps I'm searching by the wrong terms, but I'm no web n00b...and I'm coming up blank.
Does anyone know of a reputable website whereby I can purchase items like the mainboard for the Tilt? Does anyone who reads these forums WORK for HTC, and like to strike a deal?
Please, PM me if you know anyone that sells these hard-to-find HTC parts...
Thanks!!

You might as well have just bought a new one!
Your best bet is to buy a broken one off Ebay, mainboards will be the domain of HTC repair specialists only and will probably need to be bought in bulk. They would also no doubt cost more than a broken second-hand device would.
Would be a rather boring hobby, buying working phones, dont you think?
But yes, this one is costing me a bit more than I care to admit....fortunately, I think I can probably sell off parts and recoup some of the money spent.... at least, once I call off the search for a replacement mainboard.
i remember trying to source a mainboard for an athena a while back and it was akin to getting blood out of a stone! I rang everyone i could find the number for and got no-where. You can buy a tilt for about 150gbp on ebay so one with a broken screen and housing damage (but a functioning mainboard) would doubtless set you back very little

Hello.
I recently killed my HTC TyTN II.
I know it needs a working Mainboard.
I want to give you an idea,about my 2 cents as Mcmexican says.
You need to go to a HTC Taiwain site and regiter as a Reseler or repairer. Probably you can get these kind of things in deeper sources.
Im telling you that,cause youre saying you have the hobbie to fix them. Me to,but im unemployed,trying to get a job,im broke. So it seems i dont have time and economic positive status to do it myself. And im in Portugal,momentaniously in an Economic crisis..
Im on an exausting search,cause im in an unknown new town,and need the GPS,that my Qtek 9100 doesnt have..
PPl in this forum could work all together to also get Mainboards at a affordable price,for ppl with less economic positive status.
I will start a new thread about that.
Thanks for reading this ppl.
We need Mainboards at a fair price .

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.

I also had the idea to replace the housing with one from a dummy. But i read in some german forum, that at a dummy the housings are glued.
wow if that works it WILL be great!

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.
Doing a little of search found this:

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?

Dash 3G lcd & housing replacement

I might be 1st with this problem but not last for sure. Accident happend & I need replacement LCD for my new Dash. Anyone knows where I can get one? I can only see part of display. Will new housing be enough or do I need LCd as well? Repair manual anyone? Thanks everyone!
Anyone?

Dash 3g LCD
From what I'm hearing, the LCD for the Dash and the Dash 3g are the same thing.
Should be easy to find -

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.

I'll fix your HTC phone or provide parts
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!
Thanks again to all the rom builders and contributers who have helped make my phone awsome!

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 .....

[Q] Recomendation for buying a screen replacement

Hi, I'm new here so apologizes if I break any forum etiquette
Some days ago I accidentally dropped my Galaxy Nexus i9250 and shattered the screen.
Looking around I found that I need to get he digitizer plus LCD screen since they are fused, I found a couple of alternatives in ebay but I'm not sure which one to get.
Basically I'm between two options, the first one is a LCD + Touch Screen Digitizer +Front Cover Replace and the second one is just the digitizer and LCD screen.
Of course I want to get the most closer to the original part and although the first seller told me it's the original part I'm not sure about it.
In the second item you can actually see the Samsung logo so that's probably an original part.
Do anybody has a suggestion about which way to follow?
I would post links to the items in ebay but I can't cause I'm new.
Thanks,
Javier

It's been discussed in several threads, people usually say it's better to send it to samsung and let them fix it than buying the digitizer+lcd , coz in terms of money u wouldn't be saving much if u're planning to buy the parts urself.
P.s. posting in Q&A might have been more proper, plus u'd probably get more answers and ideas
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks, the problem is that I'm in a country where the Galaxy Nexus isn't sold, so I talked with Samsung and they told me that they can repare it but I have to send it to the US and they will mail it back to a mainland US address when fixed.
I did that once for a laptop and it took a lot of time and money, actually it will cost the same than getting a brand new phone.
This is why I need to do it myself.
