Has any one replaced just the digitizer on their Wizard? I've managed to break mine after only 2 months of having the thing. I have a new one on the way that I ordered from ebay, but was wondering if anyone had actually replaced one and had any tips?
Is the digitizer glued to the the LCD? If it is, are they easy to get apart? I have the service manual and am happy to take the thing apart, but was looking for tips, advice etc....
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,

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??
I replaced the digitizer on my diamond 2 last night and I think I need to get a new housing as well as I broke it trying to get the old digitizer out.
Does anybody know what the quality is like of the non-oem ones and if you can get oem ones for a decent price (preferable in the uk).
Thanks
ps if anyone is thinking of just replacing their housing or digitizer I would highly recomend replacing them both at the same time. It was hard work seperating the old digitizer from the housing which is glued

thanks but I really want to find a good uk supplier
Does anyone know a site where to buy that? I have the white version but black is fine also. I would like a full replacement, digitizer included.
Will it avoid my warranty if I replace it? And do I have to open the whole thing to replace the digitizer only?
thanks in advance
I can't find housings anywhere. And beware, I replaced the digitizer, and when I put it back together, the lcd was cracked in the corner; it's glued on with damn gorilla glue I swear, you will not be able to replace the digitizer without hurting the lcd unless you can somehow get the glue to unbond. Also, yes, you have to take the phone completely apart (like, the last step of disassembly in the service manual) to get at the digitizer.
You can find service manuals in pdf on google
Good luck if you attempt anything, but I wouldn't reccommend it!
*EDIT - Yes you will well and truly void the warranty

Hi
My friend has cracked the screen on her uk wildfire, i have replaced screens before so i have offered to have a go. However it appears that there are 2 different types of screens one with a chip (or IC) on the ribbon cable and one without. Does anyone know which one I need to order? the phone is still usable so i dont really want to take it apart just to find out what is already in it.
Also can anyone point me towards any tutorials on taking these apart?
Cheers
Jim
You'll have to take your phone apart to see which one it is just look for a chip on the digitizer ribbon cable if there's one the you need one with ic.
If the lcd is broke you don't need to they are all the same
