cmon guys ive been reading this forum for ages and how come there is no answers for getting a replacement screen lcd for the xda2 someone must sell them are they not the same as some sort of ipaq or whatever i have a good orange m1000 with a cracked lcd and want to purchase a new screen but not having much luck the phone is still in good order ie recieves calls and messages and works with activesync but i cant see screen.... sumone help
re:cracked screens
I don't think they sell replacement LCD screens because the cost to purchase would be close to the cost of replacing the phone, not to mention nearly impossible from a maintenance standpoint due to all the minute dis-assembly and PCB connections. I had an XDAII (Siemens SX-56) which had the same problem as yours - screen was cracked and phone still worked but was hard to use with the screen messed up. I ended up buying another unit from someone else so I now have two of them (I use the broken one for spare parts). Just this month I upgraded again to the MDAIII (Audiovox XV-5600) so I can sell you my Siemens SX-56 if you want a replacement unit. Just drop me a note at [email protected].
I can't comment on cost but replacing the Screen is simple. The hardest part is removing the black plastic cover without damaging it or the case.
All that is needed is a very small philips (Jewellers size) a T7 TORX driver and small flat head or similar, to seperate the case.
It's only one ribbon cable to connect the screen to the board but there are 2 different connectors so if you can find a supplier (I'm looking for some of these as well) then make sure that it matches the connector on your board.
These pics aren't that clear and I don't have any screens to show. One is just the plane ribbon cable that slides in the same as the XDA1 the other is a plug and socket.
XDA2 boards
Are you sure about the torx being a T7, I have always used a T6 torx driver.

I had my serial port fixed by www.ppctechs.com and they do screens for $120.

No, you're right it's T6 but a T7 fits well enough to undo them
The screens ppctechs sell are only the touch screens not the the complete assembly which is what I need.
If you ever find a screen replacement, you can use my guided tour on how to open an XDA2, MDAII...
I've been looking for a replacement housing without any luck... Well, the only place I've found sells the housing for an arm and a leg... They must be joking! :evil:
Good luck!

Hello just for information,
I broke my trinity screen and I baught a new screen to a HK seller and i replace it.
I had already flash the firmware (faman 3.6 full) before changing the screen.
So everything seems ok when I put the phone power on but As soon as I put the creen off, I am unable to put it on it appears every time in a complete white screen !!!! to have something on the screen I have to reboot the phone.
I just reflash the phone again with faman 3.6 and it's still the thame problem completly white after turn the screen off then on ...
I try also an official orange WM5 (gps active) and the screen work's well i try after to switch again in WM6 and it doest work :white screen again ...
Can every one help me ?
@ Rich: Check the 'How to dissamble the Trinity' thread. Are your sure that the LCD is broken ? Could also be just the digitizer (USD 8 at cnn.cn.shop).
If you succeed to dissamble the display you should be able to attach a new digitizer.
The only problem are the two black levers ... (one for the display cable, one for the digitizer).
Good luck

I cracked my Trinity screen with a bad golf swing. Then I bought a replacement screen on ebay, found a disasembly guide, took my trinity apart, replaced the screen, put everything back together, and it works fine! cost me 70 EUR to fix it.
do it following the disassembly guide - taking the trinity apart is rather complicated, you will not figure it out by yourself.
Sometimes I wonder what the engineers drink before designing such complex assemblies!
Hi All...my Display gets looser and looser. (excuse me for my bad english)
Now I still have my old universal, on which the display was broken. Now I want te replace the display of my old universal with my new (1 year old) universal. I got the service manual (pdf) but when reading it I must say that it looks pretty difficult to replace the screen...
so my question if anyone had experience replacing the screen?
Regards
Arjan
Hello Arjan,
I've had my Exec in pieces quite a few times trying to fix a faulty touch screen issue.
It is quite easy to take apart and remove the screen. There should be no more than four screws to remove and the case just unclips.
The screen itself is easily removed once the case is apart. There are just three small ribbon connectors to remove. Your new screen will just slot in and you can put the connectors back on.
Clip the case back together and put the screws back in.
It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to do it carefully. After I'd done it once it took me no more than five minutes.
Good Luck.
Thanx for the reply....
will give it a try
Hi Lakota
I replaced the screen by a new one (lcd + touchscreen) bougt on ebay but the touchscreen didn't work. After cheked all the connections I sent it back to the seller and got a new one, but the problem remains the same. Do you have any idea of what could be the problem and how to fix it?
its the csble running down from screen to jasjar. when sreen get twisted wrong way it breaks the cable inside jasjar. send to pocketpctechs.com for excellent service bro. they will even call u if there are any other issues with your device so when you receive all will be working bro.
hi everybody.
some weeks ago i bought a new casing for my trinity on ebay. as I had to open my trinity while on a long trip far away from home and htc tech support (the "hang up" button broke), i had already broken my guarantee. so i decided to change the casing myself. i managed to do that (it was not easy!!) and closed the casing and everything was alright, but some days later trinity started to have graphics issues. sometimes it hangs and the display gets kind of scrambled, when i reset it it posssibly doesn't show anything on the screen or it hangs during the boot, sometimes it helps simply shutting the device down and restarting, sometimes it helps pressing the left side of the casing (front and back casing elements) together.
what can that be? at the moment it works alright, but this is not ok for me. somebody with hardware know-how can tell me which part can be the "bad one" and what i can do to fix that? i don't want to pay the repair fee at htc tech partner, and i want to wait till the htc touch cruise is available to buy a new one!
thanks
christoph
ESD?

Hi, I did similar thing...I assembled my trinity to change case to white. After the LCD did not work at all.
Of course service said, I broked garantee, and there is some problem with LCD cable plug.
what did the repair cost?
did you go to HTC? did they change the display plug?
it's a very subtle error in my case...
How To Disassemble HTC P3600
I also want to change my casing.
From what I hear ... this may be not such a good idea.
Hoever ... all I can help with is this disassemble manual for HTC P3600 (http://rapidshare.com/files/82751326/How_To_Disassemble_HTC_P3600__Trinity_.pdf.html).
Maybe disassembling, cleaning all the plugs and assembling it again can help (sounds stupid ... but who knows).
thanks ..
one of the problems with the casing i bought was that the metal counterparts of the screws were not(!) present in the new one. so i had to cut them out of the old one, heat them and press them into the new case. luckily, i had ordered two new casings (to change it again after some months when the grey/silver paint would have fell off till total aesthetic destruction - of this otherwise really slick phone - again), because trying to press that counterpart (don't know the word) without heating resulted in total damage
then I had hoped that not only the keypad, but also the electronics plate under the keypad (my "hang up" button still isn't perfect i have no "klicky" feel any more) would be included. no luck here.
so everybody please stay away from trying to change casings or any other hardware issue with your htc phones. i am opening my htc/qtek (before: s100, three units) phones for a longer time now and must say i will stop doing that and return to being a "normal" user. it all gets worse
thanks
I just remembered ... take a look at this site: http://cnn.cn/shop/p3600-trinity-c-277_278.html
All the stuff looks genuine ... maybe this casing will fit you better and there are spare touch screens also.
P.S. White casing DOES NOT peel.

I went to E-care, the HTC support in Hungary. I was lucky, the expert repaired it free, but in the future there is no garantee
Lucky you ... there is HTC support where you live
my LCD screen broke.
I have replaced my LCD screen because it was cracked, the new screen does not even power up. I can hear wm6 running in the background but the digitizer nor the screen seem to be responding at all. If use the old screen it seems to work fine.
Any ideas or comments on how to get this new screen working?
btw, I have a gen1 htc p3600.

Hi all,
I recently dropped my phone and broke my screen. I ordered a complete frame and lcd/digitizer from eBay and everything seemed to work.
Touchscreen didn't feel right and I stalled a few multitouch tester apps.
I noticed only 2 points were registered. Third didn't show anything. Contacting the seller with this he suggested cleaning the contact points and looking elsewhere for answers.
Does anyone have any idea whether this the screen or something else?
I cleaned everything, all contact points with alcohol and even bought a new battery, because some said that could have weird issues as well.
Thank you in advance.
/edit: this is the link to the screen I bought: http://www.ebay.nl/itm/331224787829?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
look at controller chip ( that one on digitizer flex) - if it's not glued with black epo around , then 99.9% you got cheap china clone digitizer ...
here is pics of copy and org digitizers :
cheap copy / OEM

The one I have looks te be an OEM version. I guess I have to open en different Nexus 4 and try to figure it out.
The smaller part looks to have a bigger IC on the picture. Mine has 2 connectors, but the smaller connector also has a smaller IC.
Thanks for your reply.
