I almost cried. The night before the cable arrived in the mail, the sx56 slid off my chest on to the floor, for I had fallen asleep on my couch infront of the T.V. with it on my chest. Horrible cracks in the screen and its oozing led blood. Give it to me str8, how totally ,utterly completely up a creek with no paddle am I . Who repairs this . I am in California. the shock will take some time to heal.

Broken screen
I've searched al over the net, but I couldn't find anyone who could deliver me an o2 lcd screen. Only o2 can repair it for 285 euro. If you find someone, please let me now.

I have an XDA with all it's parts in perfect condition.Something is wrong internally which basically means that there is no sound from it,but everything else is fine with it.
The screen and all other parts are in perfect working order,with no scratches at all(in facts it looks better than the XDA I use!!Such a shame!).
Anyway,I can sell it to you for spare parts.I will of course much less for the XDA than O2 charge.I will accept half of they ask for.Let me know if you are interested.
I am the guy with the offer of an XDA for it's spare parts.Thought I might leave my mail address in case you wanted to contact me.It is [email protected]. Please put something in the subject line to suggest what the mail is for(since I get a lot of junk mail,I don't open mails that I wasn't expecting).

Dear Friends,
Just like you I am also a PDA freak. I have had these handheld marvels since several years and am deeply into them.
I have owned an O2 XDA mini for over 6 months now. I found a shocking defect in the covers provided by O2. The cover has a strong magnet which tends to move the direction of the screen when I put or remove the device from its cover.
My friend who is using the same mobile has had the same problem. But sadly his screen has become inverted permanently now. We have tried all troubleshootings and have written several mails seeking help and reporting the quality issue to O2 and also its manufacturer HTC. But there has been no response from either of the parties.
What I can suggest immediately for everyone is to STOP USING THE MAGNETIC COVERS FOR THE MOBILES to avoid the problems we have faced or you shall have to burden your pockets once again with at least one third the price of your phone (the cost of the screen and its labor charge as the service centre has refused to repair it under warranty). I shall update you about any replies I get.

Anyone please tell me where buy Touch HD LCD screen ( i think my touch screen is ok, just LCD is cracked)
Or any where in the world (HTC care), can fix this device at this moment.
Best place (top down) : Viet Nam, Japan, Korea, Singapore
(I'm living in Viet Nam, HTC authorized care service doesn't know and have LCD to fix my device )
Please let me know, and price if available, i want to enjoy my HD, especially after HardSPL is released. Thank you so much

Welcome to the club . It’s a waiting game right now to get this fixed, I’m in US I called them and UK both didn’t know what to do, just asked me wait couple of weeks while they get the information, but there is another member here who contacted HTC repair in Norway I think and they gave him a price of 350 US dollars, as they can’t replace just the lcd they have to replace the whole Bezel/lcd/digitizer. Well good luck
Thanks for your information
I'm already contact HTC website support (twice), but they just told me bring my device to their HTC care, and did not confirm that they had lcd part or not
I know the price they will charge us must be greater then 200 USD, but still confuse because a LCD 20 inch has the price lower than a small piece LCD
I hope maximum charging price lower than 400 USD is okie
Maybe i'll wait for couple weeks, atleast after first week of 2009
Yes same logic as why my 4 year old nieces Jens cost more than mine
Price should be lower than 400$, but also need service manual for disassembling :s
Service manual is allready availible
http://www.mikechannon.net/
To pklein90 : "Service manual is allready availible " but no where selling Touch HD LCD Screen now ! Just some places selling touch screen
To Magus_doc : I visited HTC authorized service in Viet Nam, but they don't know what is that ( the HTC Touch HD ),
Q : Can i order LCD part ? A : No
Q : When can i recontact ? A : Next year ( next month )
It's too long to wait........
Anyone have better solutions, please let me know ? Wait or send it to EU to quickly repair ?
To pklein90 : In the other hand, service manual doesn't show the way to replace LCD, just test display and no more !!!
its on ebay <100 dollars... doesn't help with the installation though
Thanks for your info, but maybe it's not correct.
as i know, the part you see in ebay maybe "Touch Screen" not "LCD Screen"
The LCM of Touch HD includes : Touch Screen, LCD Screen and another part
As mention in the Service Manual, HTC just guide their technician to disassemble Touch HD to LCM package, not to smallest parts (Touch Screen, LCD Screen and another part). So what HTC service will charge us "LCM package" not only LCD Screen.
Touch Screen price about 80USD
Anyway, can you refer ebay link ?
ebay link for Touch HD Touch Screen Digitizer, not Touch HD LCD Screen
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-TOUCH-HD-T8...|66:4|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:200
( Touch Screen Digitizer like a transparent film, to get touch event )
anyone has solution, please let me, i still can't replace my HTC Touch HD LCD.
anywhere replacable, anywhere selling Touch HD LCD, ...
thank you very much
Hello,
So just to clarify, if I scratched my HD screen, the only this I need to buy is the digitiser?
I made a deep scratch 1 week after getting the HD.
Thanks.
My Touch HD LCD repaired !
It was repaired in only 1 hour service ! And with unbelievable price ~ 133USD.
They replaced LCD + Digitizer.
Service provided by Hong Quang, HTC authorized service in Viet Nam.
After three months offline, now it's back again. amazing device
Nice to hear that.
I sent mine to Dubai and I am now waiting for an estimate of the costs. Mine had only a problem with the digitizer, but I believe they'll replace the whole front body, including LCD.

In my case, I have relatives living there...
Here in portugal the price tag is an amazing 300€ to replace the LCD + Digitizer!!
more than half the price of a new device...
My HD has the Digitizer cracked and the LCD is also cracked...but is still working very good!!
I'm in the process of trying to buy the parts so i can try to fix it my self...Iam not in the mood to pay 300€ for the repair!! its just to much money.
on ebay I can only find one seller...and the price is a little high plus I have to pay taxs!! on top!!
so I dont now what to do...where to find the parts for a reasonable price
An unofficial quote for the repair of my touch hd (although I have only a digitizer problem, not LCD, I still haven't found any reference on the internet saying it is possible to change only the digitizer) was around AED800 (that's Dirhams, the currency in Dubai).
Approx. 170euros and 220 dollars... Or 500 reais...
As soon as I get the official quote, I will let you know.
i have the WHOLE screen for $400.00 USA dollars. do you have a paypal account? Im 100 percent verfied with paypal snd have a great record with them.Pm me asap if your interested. thanks.
Hi,
Today I've noticed a little white spot only visible under white/light colors background.
This picture isn't very clear (it is much more visibile than it seems) but I think it gives an idea.
Any one with the same problem? My phone never fell, doesn't have a single scratch and I always carry it inside the leather case.
Since I bought it through expansys do I have to send it back to them or can I go directly to an official repair center here in Portugal ?
I have the same, in similar(or the same) place. It is just slightly brighter spot.
Also ordered it from Expansys, but I am not going to send it back for replacement now. Do not want to loose my Leo for few weeks, I just love this phone
I have a similar white spot on my screen too. It wasn't present when I bought it. I can't understand what generated it.
I Too
I had the same problem. I bring my phone to service. They replace touch display with new one (I have 2 year warranty ).
I have the same problem. Sent it back to seller and now waiting for almost 4 weeks for repairs.
fortunately i have no that white spot...
Same problem here, sent it direct to HTC and they replaced the screen.
it also happened to me.
i had that problem, the only difference is i know where i got it from. i was sitting on a seat and the phone was put under some pressure and the screen stuck to itself thats the only way i can describe it. then it poped back out and left that strange white mark where it had stuck to itself, so thats a lesson to me (and you) do not under any circumstances have your phone in your pocket when sitting down. i had it repaired under warrenty and every things ok now, i make sure i dont pressure the screen at all now!!
Have a look at this thread (in which there is another as well):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5668097
i had the same problem. just got it back after i brought it in and they replaced the screen. i didn't even begin to try anything myself. now it'd perfect again.
good luck!
cheers, ftrippie
I have a white spot to, right in the middle of the screen, and its the backlight that comes thru a lite more. Nothing that bothers me though since it's not really a defect - unless you don't want it to be, of course.
I sent my HD2 to the service because of the white spot....They told me it will take between 3-10days (I suppose it is the standard response).
Now let's wait....
I had a thread about this too. Very annoying so I emailed HTC and they told me to send it to a service centre for repair.
The problem is that I bought mine on Ebay and after they have the serial number they've told me it was bought in Czech republic so it has to be sent there.
I don't fancy doing that really - what bloody difference does it make which centre it goes to? ALL of these phones are still under warrantee so it shouldn't matter!!
Mine was assembled in Czech republic too but this is happening for all HD2 sold here. I will call Monday to check if they should replace the screen here or they have to send it there.
Today I've got back my HD2 from service after 12days.
They changed the screen and made me a rom update to 1.66.479.2.
Im having the same problem, the CPU is causing it. when you have "overheated" your phone, you can see it. I'm having a very cleary seeable rectangle in the screen. currently im E-mailing with HTC Support for Replacing the screen, or the whole phone!
This is exactly the issue I has, white blurry patches started appearing on my screen, with one in particular very prominent. I re-flashed the network firmware off the memory card, removing the HSPL and returned it to O2 for repair. I got it back 8 days later with a brand new screen.

You clearly have a different issue if you think that.
I had my screen replaced due to this problem & now only 2 months after I have the same problem and getting progressivly worse. Not Happy.
I am lost without my phone, it was hard enough the first time, waiting ages as they didn't have any screens in stock!! nevermind the thought of having to send it off again for a second time!!!
Really bloody annoying but my new screen is starting to develop the same issue. As I said above I had my previous screen replaced because of this a few months back and now I can see some more appearing. I can only assume HTC use bad quality LCDs because I have a 2g iPhone which is nearly 3 years old and it has never suffered with this and hasn't been treated any different than my Leo.
I'm not amused but I will send it back again to be repaired, using sub-standard components will cost them more than me.
White Spot visible on light backgrounds
Same here - refer attached.
Have made background darker to highlight this white spot.
The white spot resembles a 'feathered effect' as opposed to a 'solid spot'.
Red circle shows actual white spot on screen (may not be visible when viewing from a monitor / notebook), hence my attached image with darkened area.
It is only visible on light backgrounds.
Just to mention, I sent in my HD2 to LEAF South Africa yesterday May 13 2010, who completed the repair the same day!!!
LEAF really are superb in South Africa and a credit to HTC.
Thank you Wayne Parkinson of LEAF SA who took care of the details (as always), and their dedicated Support/Repair Team who did the rest.
Beat that HTC Worldwide
My sympathies to those experiencing delays.
Just bring your device to South Africa.
(No wonder the FIFA World Cup was awarded to our neck of the woods!)
I have a similar issue only that its only visible when viewing a bright screen and at a wide angle I see some light spot, its impossible to see it when viewing the screen directly. Can you tell me if it a spot on the screen or below it, or some deffect on the lcd. If its on the surface of the screen how do I safely try to remove it.
Hi, I'm Martin from Germany
That's the story:
I've (already ) broke the display of my HTC Mozart after 2 months of usage ordered a new one at mobile-phone-lcd.com. The replacement itself took me about two hours, where the longest part was the removal of the "old" glue which is used to keep the screen in its housing.
But now the reaction of the screen is very bad It's 1. the typical "lockscreen problem" but 2. the menu often scrolls "up" when i push the screen down. And I'm unable to write messages because I can't touch some letters.
But I have to note that starting from the point when i broke my old screen, the phone "already" had the "lockscreen problem" and a few letters were not touchable.
With the new screen the "touchability" is worse than with the broken screen.
I already flashed it with RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.01_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50 but nothing changed. I just wrote an email to the seller but somehow I can't believe that's a harware-related problem. I already tried to run it with different positions of the cable in the plug... no success
Maybe anyone of you has similar experiences or any ideas how to fix it. Tomorrow I'll try to flash it with another ROM.
Cheers
Martin
It really seems an issue with the new screen, a bad device or both...
I don't think you can repair it playing with the ROM...
Thanks.
Let's see what the supplier says...
first of all you info was not clear, when you mention screen, is' it the LCD or the digitizer, it's two different pieces, it seems like the problem is the digitizer.
You're right, the problem is the digitizer.
The support-team already answered and needs a more detailed description. (I wrote a very short email) The guy answered that I should try a touch screen calibration! I've already searched for a way to calibrate the touch screen/digitizer, but I wasn't successful. Does anyone of you knows how to?
In parallel I'm bidding on a HTC Mozart on eBay which is water damaged so I can try another digitizer. (hope the digitizer is still working...)
how much is it going to cost, i've seen oem digitizer in china go for around USD 30.
also no touch calibration will do any good, the digitizer has some dead section, from your description.
Mine was 38 USD without shipping costs
Currently the damaged WP7 is @ 30 USD....
You're right. Where have you seen the digitizer? Could you provide the link to me?

many thanks!
So, I sent in my s4 for repair to the repair center in Texas and it seems to have been reviewed. I was told before to send it to them from the Verizon store because I noticed a bubble probably the size of a sesame seed (or smaller) at the top left of the screen. The representative at verizon said that it was most likely a defect in the pixels and to send it in to be looked at. So I did that and sent it in about a week ago and they have put on the repair status Screen / Display / LCD / Touch Panel / LED / LCD Discoloration HPZ31 and they have attached a price of $200 to repair it! I most definitely won't pay this price, if this issue won't cause any long term damage in the future, because it is such a small dot that you can barely see and would not be worth the cost.
I was told that this issue should be covered by the warranty, however because it shouldn't have been caused by physical damage. I have not damaged my phone at all (only accidentally dropped the phone once when it fell out of my pocket on my driveway and the screen wasn't damaged at all or the phone itself.) My phone has always been protected by a case and screen protector btw. So, would there be any way to get this issue repaired without being charged? I haven't called Samsung yet, but plan on calling them tomorrow. Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time and patience!
If it's that small an issue I don't think I would worry about it imho. Of course now that you know it's there it probably bugs you a bit, lol. Is it worth 200 bucks to stop it from bugging you. Does it interfere with the color display at all, like when the phone is being used is it more visible or is that the only time it is visible. ??
