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?

I need some advice, I've tried replacing my screen and now it doesn't even light up, let alone display anything...
At the start of the summer I was messing around with a boomerang and believe it or not it smashed at great speed into my v1605 Hermes. Even though I had it in its case, the screen had some cracks and some parts not showing anything. I carried on using it like that for a while and started looking for a replacement screen. I found and bought one on Ebay.
Screen replacement, 1st attempt
The first screen that I received showed only a white screen when booted up. I tried fitting it many times with the same result and when I put my cracked screen back in it still worked, so I presumed it was a faulty screen and sent it back.
Second screen
After some dialogue with the company I bought the screen from, I was sure that the second screen would work, but when I fitted it I got nothing, it didn't even light up... just to check, I put in my old screen and got the same... it doesn't light up or display anything even though my Hermes boots as normal.
Help!
Is there anyone who can suggest what might be wrong and what I can do to fix it? Please?
Screen for sale
It may be that I've completely messed my Hermes up, in which case I now have a mint condition replacement screen, pm me any offers, although I won't be selling until I'm sure I can't fix this problem.
Hi , sorry i cannot help you in this thing but how much is your screen for sale?
The screen cost me fifty euros. I'd sell it on for the same price if I can't fix it... plus postage at cost.
Can't anyone help with this please???
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.
Hey,
I have an ATT tilt 2, running an Energy rom. It worked great till 3 days ago, when I noticed a "light" spot on the screen (about 50mm in diameter) , like something had scratched some film away.
I disregarded it as just that, a scratch, but the next day the screen was completely unresponsive. If I press on the spot, it "fills" with a darker color, I am guessing this is the digitizer pressing into the LCD screen, the screen then becomes responsive for a few seconds (Just long enough for me to reset my alarms!), but not always.
I have ready through these forums and online, and it sounds like I damaged something, digitizer or LCD, but I am not sure which I need to replace.
Also, I have read that replacing just one or the other can be problematic as they need to be aligned just so and with no particles in between, but I cannot find any Digitizer+LCD assemblies online for Tilt2...
So I guess what I am looking for is:
Based on above, do I need just Digitizer or LCD or Both?
Can you point me in the direction of a good vendor? The ones I have found are either selling just tmobile or generic replacements (which if I understand are incompatible with the att version cause of camera placement?) or are very unclear which version they are selling and do not clarify it in emails...
Thanks XDA Forums, keep up the good work!

If it's under warranty, do an exchange. That would be the easiest/cheapest option. HTC provides a 15 month warranty normally. Going through your carrier would be a better option, however, as they usually just swap out the headset. If you have no warranty, then just search eBay or Google for the digitizer and LCD. They normally come together. Based on your description of the problem, you'll need both anyhow. Some come with instructions, and some don't. YouTube has a few videos detailing the replacement, though.
I have had a very similar problem on two Tilt 2s now. Looks like the glue leaks out of the side of the plastic over the lcd. Both phones did this on the right side of the screen.
Just in case anyone turns this up in a search like I did and can't swap the phone thru their carrier....
Global Parts Direct sells the ATT versions of these, though the LCD was out of stock at the time of this posting. (I'm too much a newb to post a direct link.)
I just had the same thing happen to me and I was able to swap the phone out with AT&T.
Oddly enough, the bubble wasn't there when I called AT&T but showed up the next day. My screen was unresponsive, called, went through a ton of questions but I had gone through this before with a couple of Fuze phones.
One thing I noticed before this happened which appears to be symptomatic before the phone becomes unresponsive is a large rectangle appears on the phone's LCD. It doesn't obstruct the viewing or anything I have just noticed that it has been on all my phones that have had trouble with the LCD/digitizer.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Hello
A few days ago i dropped my Galaxy S3 while pulling it out of my pocket and the LCD is cracked. I dropped my S3 a few times but this time it fell on the edge and it landed like a "brick". The whole phone functions properly except the Screen won't turn on. The Touchscreen and home button works fine but the Menu & Back button don't work. I took it to the repair shop and they said that it costs ~ £180 to repair it.
Are there any suggestions on what i should do? Any cheap good screen replacement on eBay?
And is there an app that allows me to control my S3 from my PC via USB preferably but WiFi will do also.
Thanks for reading

The issue is, the front housing, glass, digitiser and screen come as a "sealed unit". So yes it is expensive. You can pick them up a bit cheaper on eBay but then it needs fitting.
If you're searching eBay, we have AMOLED screen, not LCD

The problem is with these apps, they need setting up first and you need to be able to see to do it. k If you have a HDMI input somewhere, you can use an MHL cable to see it on a tv, but thats all I can think of really.
Problem with screen replace is not many do a proper job see multiple posts on XDA .

S3 screen
First thing is to go to service centre and ask to see service manager, usually its at the discretion of the manager to give a discount. I was lucky, went to get my Note 1 complete LCD & digitizer (broken) replaced for US$120 2 month ago. Yesterday I cracked my S3 screen n i went back to sc again got it replaced in 1 hr for $106 and i also change the headphone jack port ($11). Now i ve 2 brand new looking phone as they replace the fuull screen with frame. Thanks Samsung. So it pays to visit the sc 1st and speak with them rather than post yr problem. Cheers.

In the UK the Sammie service centres have to send the 'faulty' AMOLED/LCD screen back to Samsung, if it's cracked (as is likely in your case) the service centre do not get reimbursed for parts cost in the repair and as the complete house costs over £140 (and have to be bought in lots of 10 units) you can see there's no money in it for them to discount.
As rootsu stated above it's all one housing, replacing glass can be done but not the actual screen element.
I would suggest try to find someone with a working screen setup perhaps on ripbay or gumtree and drop in your motherboard to their working screen, anything under £150 and you're saving some money. Else try to sell yours but beware of buyers who'll try to make a claim on ebay after they received stating 'not as described' to get you to give a part refund for the sale (i.e. you auction it for £120 they then try to get £60 or £70 back) it's a common scam for phones.
Good Luck
I was able to get the whole screen and front bezel etc for £125 from Amazon and did it myself fairly easily with no previous experience. Just follow the YouTube guides slowly and carefully and it'll be fine. The UK seller of the screen got it to me within a day or two so I didn't have to use my old Desire HD for very long.

Before i cracked my screen (accidentally) i installed a program called Wondershare MobileGo for Android which allows me to see real-time screenshots of my phone but not control it. So with a bit of struggle maybe i can set up an App :|

I was actually thinking of replacing it myself but i don't know if Amazon delivers to my country.
Hello guys, I hope for you expert opinion here. Yesterday I picked up my beloved Note 4 Global version and saw lines all of the screen, and it flickers all the time. It is definitely a hardware issue because the lines can be seen on the boot and in the TWRP. Also if I apply a bit of pressure on the phone on different sides, sometimes you can see the lines changing, ones they diapered for 5 minutes completely. I have dropped it a day before, from my trousers pocket, but it was fine for a while after that...
I bought this phone from www.gearbest.com and I live in Germany. After reading all the reviews about the warranty procedure I decided that I don't want to send it back to gearbest, because in the best case scenario I will get the phone in half a year, in the worst I won't get it at all.
My question is, do you think the fault is in the motherboard or LCD screen itself? I could buy a new LCD for 25 euros and replace it myself.

from the teardown video, the screen removal is not that hard but not sure if you can get the screen for 25 euros tbh. Best of luck~

I know it's not hard, I've done it to other phones as well. The question is if it's the screen, or the motherboard.
Found a screen here, as far as I know, the 4X screen is compatible with Global version.

That is correct, I don't want to buy a new LCD to find out that some controller somewhere on the motherboard is dead.
Actually buying the phone was very easy. Having any kind of service is much harder. And you can't buy this phone in Germany. They don't sell them here.
