replacing the screen on a HTC 8125 wizard??

Ok, my LCD cracked. I have purchased another one, but I am wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of nightmare I am going to be in for in doing the replacement. (I have a lot of experience in repairing small electrical devices, music equipment, etc... so this isnt my first foray into this type of repair) but I have been looking over this phone, and it doesnt look like its going to be easy by any means, to get the the screen assembly. in fact, it almost looks like I am going to have to go at it through the Back of the phone (pain in the a$$). Any helpfull hints, or tips would be greatly appreciated. I have a couple days to wait, while I wait for my T6 torque driver to come in from order, so I am fishing for tips in the meantime. Thanks in advance!!

Somebody posted a link to a service manual pdf awhile back. I downloaded it then, and I just tried to attach it to this post, but it wouldn't let me. It said upload failed. But if you search around here and at howardforums.com, you'll probably find the original. It detailed the complete disassembly and reassembly of a wizard (actually an HTC Prodigy, but very similar to the Wizard).

You can find the manual at http://www.box.net/public/4enzlr1l8c

excellent, Thanks very much for the manual link, Thats going to come in VERY handy. Thanks again.

You can buy the LCD here:

Or if (Like me), your touchscreen is broken you can order from Hong Kong:

Does anyone know how to replace the touchscreen once the LCD is out of the phone????

I hope this info isnt too late, but I just bought a replacement LCD with the touch screen overlay for my gen 2 cingular 8125 for $65 shipped and insured. I got it off ebay. And that was a buy it now price. Here is a link to there ebay store... http://stores.ebay.com/e2shopstore. And here is an email address I got from him... [email protected]. The replacement LCD with the touch screen overlay for a gen 1 cingular 8125 was $95 shipped and insured.

damn lcd screen.......
anyone know offhand how to tell if your 8125 is gen 1 or 2 without disassembling the damn thing first?

One thing the manual doesn't tell you...
The volume slider tab might be vulnerable to less-than-careful extrication of the board. It's a pretty flimsy piece of plastic when you put pressure on it in a way it wasn't intended....
The other thing I found out is that a wedge shaped plastic tool for the case is a must. I bought one, and I am so, so glad I did. Otherwise you may break the tabs that hold your face plates on, or at least scratch 'em up pretty badly. A cuticle tool (for fingernails) might work pretty well if you don't want to spring (more), as long as the plastic isn't harder than the plastic of the face plates.

Volume slider broken
Blast! Some small metal thing pinged out when I was putting my Wizard back together again, and now my volume slider is flapping about loosely.
The manual has absolutely no detail about how this tiny piece of metal fits back in. Looks like there is a tiny switch with a miniscule vertical slot inside the wizard around that area.

I swear I posted this last night but is not appearing so here goes again:
Has anyone replaced the touchscreen only? Is it hard to separate from the LCD? My MDA had a dead center and I'd like to fix it while spending as little as possible, but if its going to be a problem I'll get the full LCD.

Ok does this version of english bother anyone else?
OEM Cingular 8125 PDA Touch Screen, it does not includes the main LCD. Please according the parts which showing in the item pictures.About my this item,it is just a touch screen, not the full LCD. It is glassy cover on the color LCD. It's for the one whose Dopod 818 i-Mate Jam touch screen was broken, or out of order, we can provide this replacement...So the buyer need not buy a full expensive replacement LCD,just for the touch screen problem...
Last time I bought something on ebay from a guy that talked like this I got a fake h700 that hat the bluetooth range of 2 ft, couldn't even wear my phone on my belt

anyone have the service manual for the cingular 8125? that htc wizard looks different than mine, mine is round? thanks

Towards the beginning of this thread, there is a post with the link to a PDF. I checked it out, and it's for the prodigy but it looks almost exactly like my 8125 wizard.

almost... should taking it apart be the same? I don't want to ruin something, I would prefer to have the manual for my phone exactly.. thanks

Prodigy not exactly same as 8125
Took a good look at the pdf manual for the Prodigy...it's not close enough to the 8125 for me to feel comfortable disassembling the 8125.
I need to replace the clear screen only...got the tools (incl. plastic wedge), but will have to find an 8125 manual first.

The manual is pretty much right on except in one area. For the Wiza200 (t-mobile MDA), the backing is taken off from the back/side areas. For the Wiza100 (Cingular 8125), you need to take it off near the border of the keyboard. I posted some pictures a few months back in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=266382
I'm not sure how difficult it is to seperate the LCD and digitizer as I replaced the whole thing. And, as stated before, the volume slider is pretty fragile. It can break if its not seated in the actual button.

have you seen any exact manual, instruction, guide how to do that or just pics?
Thanks,
Tom

My lcd cracked a couple days ago...for no reason...i don't remember dropping it or anything....just have a long crack across the screen.
Now, the left half is black while the right half is barely visible. Paperweight....
Anyone in the NYC can fix this ?

I'll be working on my next week so i'll let you know.
Peace,
Tom

Touch Screen Doesn't Work..

Well where did you buy it?? ebay?? was it guaranteed?? Warranty?? The digitizer could have went out on it already.. Mine was ordered online with insurance guarantee and warranty... lol.. It cost me $60 which is actually super cheap but was worth every bit!! The digitizer is what makes the lcd touch. That or you could have accidentally bent or kinked the ribbon slightly.. Its very touchy.. The screen turns on and everything?? Just no touch??

I got it from blackberry8100parts.com it was $45. Phone works fine just no touch. I checked the ribbon and everything looks good.

The back didn't look alike. When I first put it on the touch screen was fine but a couple of hours later it just didn't work.

Thats strange.. It was for the wing right?? or herald?? I have mine and it works soooooooo perfect.. It takes even less to touch the screen for comands.. I dont understand why it would have gone out.. You are not overclocking your device are you??

They said it was for the wing but the back of the lcd doesn't match. I'm using stock rom right now.

Don't know what your problem might be, sorry - but don't assume just because the backs are different that it's the wrong screen.
I just replaced my wife's Wing's screen with one from one of my older units (whose mainboard died). The screens looked very different, even though they were both T-Mo branded Wings purchased at around the same time.

I'm not assuming its the wrong screen, just stating that the back is different. They guaranteed it will work and it did for a few hours.

Hi. Ouch, it's not look bad :]
If lcd screen is not spilled(fuzzy,black dot's etc.) u need only front case
I see only broken window shield, digitizer work fine ?
btw. My HD droped from my bed(high frame) when i sleeping ;/ (Hah don't watching movies in bed maybe you save your HD )
I have only small stretch near 5mpix camera on the allu cam case.

I was walking on the stairs at the third floor when it dropped out of my pocket. It fellt all the way to the ground, at least 10 to 15 meters. My touch screen & lcd are both broken but I'm surprised it's not total loss.
Still .. sad.

[Q] Screen looks weird after replacement.

Hello, everybody!
I recently replaced my Nexus 7's screen and digitizer and now my screen looks really bad.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix it?
I've tried taking everything apart, twice, to see if maybe I hooked a wire wrong or something but I get the same results.

this is what's put me off getting one from ebay, mines only a week old and cracked due to not that much thumb pressure debating cutting my losses and throwing it in the bin if this is how weak the screens are

You should really change that. There is no way that is a software issue

Glass cracked, LCD + touch work, 2/3 home buttons do not work - What to replace

Dropped the phone, boohoo, glass shattered. lcd works fine and so do all touch areas. But the home button and back button do not work along the bottom. My overview/panels button still works.
So what do I need to replace? Will a simple glass replacement/Digitizer on eBay for about $10 restore function to the home and back button?
(as a side note - I think I can root the device + install permanent on screen action buttons right? The free stuff from Google play isn't cutting it)

happened to me a few months ago, I bought full lcd + digitizer from alliexpress. I believe it woul be very hard to separte the display from the screen/digitizer

Good to know they're available. I somehow got a tiny corner chip on mine (no idea how). Thankfully it's small and low enough that it doesn't affect buttons or screen.

Would this basically be it?:
Seems pretty simple as long as I can get my hand on a heating gun.

Yeah that is the one you need
That same seller sent me a message after I paid for the screen, he told me that there was low stock and it will take them about 6 days to restock, I decided to cancel the order and buy it from another seller but it was the same story, there was no stock and it took them around a week to send the screen.
I placed the order on Jan 03, the screen was shipped on Jan 09, and it was delivered on Jan 16.

My phone on stock rom has an issue where the left edge does not work. LeEco said it was a known issue. I literally cannot seek a YouTube video to time 0:00 because it stops responding at about 0:14.
Do you have any issue with YouTube seeking to the beginning with the new screen?

That has no effect for me.
If it is a hardware issue, I would ask LeEco to exchange it or I'll just replace the screen myself. LeEco tells me it is a known issue that I have. Now I am questioning if others have the same issue as me.
Can I assume nobody else has an issue with the screen/digitizer on the left edge, such as when seeking YouTube videos to the beginning?

replacement experience
Hi all,
For those who have change the display for the x720/x727, Have you found any significant difference from the original display? I need to change mine, and I have seen one on aliexpress. Sorry but I can't post the link because of the 10 post limitation.
It has many reviews, being almost all of them positive. But someone tells that there is no light on the capacitive buttons. I'd want to know if you have experienced this issue. Also, in your opinion, has the replacement the same brightness like the original one? Is as responsive as the original one?
Many thanks.
