Hello,
I am looking to purchase a glass top for my HTC Himalaya (XDAII). Does anyone know where I can get it from?
Thanks you.
abohsali,
Do you mean a new touch-screen?
Codenix.
Hello,
No, only the glass top on top of the digitizer. the digitizer is intact.
Thanks
hhmmmm maybe i'm way off but as i understand it then
the xda is lcd and then a plastic layer which is the touch-screen
mine sure dont have glass over the touch-screen of cause i have a xda1
All pdas have an LCD touch screen but there is a glass top of the LCD. When you use the stylus and tap on the screen it is on the glass top that you are tapping.
the touch part is not a part of the lcd screen itself
it's a semi soft layer on top of the lcd and can be changed without
changing the lcd
there is no glass on top of it and this is why people spend coins on
screenprotecters to put on top of the touchscreen
i have a link to a online store which sell both lcd's and touchscreens for xda1 but i dont think they work on xda2's
i`m also looking for a digitizer for an xdaII. not found once yet, xda digitixers are for sale for about $60, which is a bargain in my opinion, but when you look at the xdaII there is only one ribbon cable for the screen which incorporates the lcd and digitizer so a repair appears to be very tricky. I`ll keep looking though
Hello-I need help finding a place that in the USA can repair my xdaII. I just dropped it on my marble floor -- OOPS! I thought you may have heard of a place for me to send it?? I believe I've broken the lcd & glass...it functions fine but has major cracks/shatter marks thoughout the screen...Let me know if you can help & thank you
Hi, I have managed to brake the Touch Screen (not the LCD Display, but the Toch Pad Layer) of my XDA 2. I am looking replacement parts. If any one can advise me on cost and located preferably in UK (for sending off for repair).
I have found these sites:

they are selling Touchscreen Replacement for US$125 (by Post)
Thanks..

8525 Digitizer Installation...
Hello,
I have an 8525 with a broken digitizer (LCD OK). I replaced the whole unit with a new combined LCD/Digitizer. It is a pretty straightforward repair. It took me all of about 15 minutes (you just need a #6 torx and a jeweler's phillips).
Just in case this happens again, I purchased a new digitizer (only). I want to remove the old digitizer from the LCD screen and replace it with the new one. The problem is: the digitizer ribbon cable is attached to the LCD screen, possibly soldered but I can't tell. Are there any instructions anywhere regarding the digitizer removal and installation?
Thanks
Im new to all this whats the digitizer exactly?
The digitizer is the top portion of the screen. It's what registers your stylus' contact on the screen. It lays on top of the LCD and it looks like 1 piece, but its actually two. And for those wanting to know if the digitizer is soldered, the answer is no. It's held in place with tape, but it is easier to just replace the combo instead of just the digitizer. Most often then not, when removing the damaged digitizer, it will crack and may possibly damage the lcd, or so I've read. I just recently cracked my lcd, so i got a combo and switched it out, just to have a scratch on the digitizer the following day. That's life. Waiting for my next new combo to come in the mail.
You'd be better replacing both the lcd and digitzer as 1 unit than try to unglue and reglue the digitizer onto your screen. A lot of hair pulling and screaming involved and no guarantees it'll work. For the $100Aud I'd just replace the lot in one hit. As markus1959 said its a 15 minute job but stuffing around with just the digitizer is a major hassle. Even Mike Channon (he's the hermes hardware guru) advises against that unless you're really into pain and frustration....
Cheers...
Hi,
from where do you all get a new LCD (+ digitizer).
My LCD is cracked (digitizer OK) so I need replacement.
I live in Switzerland and I can not find a shop with a reasonable price.
Hey all,
Had my HD2 for about 3 weeks now, while walking yesterday I tripped and fell, this caused the digitizer to break. I have contacted HTC on a quote for repair. Seeing as they quoted 200 euros, I can't afford to have it fixed. I do have the skills myself to fix the device, all I need is a replacement digitizer. After many hours searching I have yet to find one on sale.
The LCD panel underneath is fine it's just the digitizer that has been shattered. Stunningly it does still responds to input, but having small shards of glass in my fingers isn't ideal.
Can anybody here help?
Thanks in advance,
Ihadabadname

I have been able to find digitizers for other models from HTC on ebay.
But currently there isn't anybody offering a spare HD2 digitizer, Does anybody know how I may be able to get my hands on one?
I have vacuum packed my HD2 for now to stop corrosion. Hopefully I can find a replacement part soon.
Thanks for reading,

Hi! How did you manage to seperate the digitizer from the lcd without crushing the lcd?? I tried and now my lcd is useless I've found a new digitizer on ebay, but not the lcd screen, and I need both.. Do you know where I can find a new one??
Dear all,
anybody already experienced a broken touch screen?
My Leo fell from 50cm to the ground (tiles), just on the edge. The sound it hit the ground already let me knew - bad suprise...
If you have already some experiences with broken screens: Is there a way to repair it? Is it be affordable?
The device itself seems to work as usual. Even in the upper right corner, the sensitivity seems fair. But I fear a breaking screen as already some glassy bits drissel out...
Thx for tipps
TC
i belive its called digitizer on most touch screens.
not sure if HD2 has different technology.
but the LCD screen is separate from the touchscreen part(thats what you broke)
search ebay for HTC HD2 digitizer
heres the ebay link i bought a camera LCD display from them few times

Hey dude,
Check out this thread

I broke my glass on my screen and ordered a new digitizer, stripped it apart, broke the LCD in the process (a common occurrence as the glass/LCD glue is STRONG), ordered a new LCD, repaired and it works.. didn't quite go back together as it started (slight gap in case, buttons don't come through as much as they used to). Now have the problem of the 'bubble wrap' showing on the screen in a few places.
In short, yes it can be done but if you want it doing right get a professional to do it..
Any one else with there own experiences?
heat it up so the glue is soft and comes off easier, between the screen and digitizer.
if you have sun leave it in the sun to get it up to good temperature.
safest way since it will not get too hot where it melts.
My LCD screeb broken yesterday. I have tmobile HTC HD2.But my touchscreen works fine.
Do I need to purchase this one

or

Do I need to solder something or is just an easy fix?
Please let me know.
Thanks
Mine too
The links to the Ebay sale you posted are no longer valid.
My screen is broken also, just the touch sensitive glass (digitizer). The LCD is still in tact.
From what I understand the digitizer is harder to replace than the entire screen (digitizer+LCD) because the LCD is glued to the digitizer. There's a video on YouTube someone posted demoing the process.
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-T-Mobile-HD2-Digitizer-p/htc733745.htm
Has the digitizer for only $57 USD, but you have to order 3 at at time. If we can find someone else that's interested, then maybe we can go in and get one if that's all that you need also.

I have done the digitizer repair, not exactly what I would call a fun time.
Easy to mess up your phone, need to make your own glue or double sided tape (to hold digitizer/lcd/frame together), about 4 little tiny wires that need to be placed correctly when putting the phone back together.
Thankfully the US HD2 does not require soldering the digitizer's connector to the lcd (the european one does), however again this is not a repair job for the feinthearted.
After all was said and done and the digitizer was repaired, the new one had the rainbow/oil effect when under a fluorescent light source, don't know if it is due to me using the wrong digitizer or what, but it did not look good. I had the same issue with a altell touch pro 1 that I purchased on ebay, it annoyed me then and it's back with a vengance.
Have fun, be very meticulous and watch the HD2 dissembler videos about 5 times before you unscrew one screw.
GUYS I need to know if its possible to replace the TMOUS HD2's LCD only as its cracked .. the digitizer is perfect
mally
YES, it possible. I did it on my phone and firend bought one broken too on which i replaced lcd (not digitizer).
You have two ways. First is easy way.
Buy complected digitizer with lcd and you have done on hour.
Second way is buy only lcd and replace it. But there you must very very gently remove digitizer at lcd. This is littlebit tricky. You must use oven. Place oven to 50 °C and place your, attached digitizer and lcd, to oven. 10 minutes is enought. Now you can more easly detach old lcd at digitizer. Be very very careful and gently. You can scratch paint on digitizer on lcd side and also lcd itself. Attaching lcd to digitizer are used sticker adeshive tape. You need buy it too. I dont want advertize one ebay seller but you can use same dealer if you want. I had with that dealer many actions and all time all is correct. And he have most items OEM. Ebay seller name is kr-net.
I recommend first way if you do it first time or not opened any phone before.
Bestest way is give your phone to repair.

Thanks a lot for your inputs mate, the phone's DIGITIZER is perfect , the LCD is cracked, should i still be gentle , since LCD is already broke,,,,
As i writed before:

Your digitizer is painted on bottom side on edges. If you scratch this paint you get scratched look later.
If you go change it itself, i anyway reccomend buy mounted lcd with digitizer. This work not easy deal.
And more. I readed over forum that someone have later digitizer sensity problems with no compatibility different lcd and digitizer. I cant confirm it. This what i changed works perfectly.
One hint is that HD2 and HD2 T-mobile have different lcd and digitizers. HD2 have soldered version and T-mobile not. You can see it on this ebay seller page, if you get one or another item detail look on seller shop page.
You can always contact www.ppctechs.com to fix it also.
