I have a Trinity with a "dead" screen. Well, not quite dead, in a special angel I can se contures of the screen, and that it reacts to buttons. the phone itself is not dead, it recieves calls, and I can speak with the caller.
Service shop claims water/moist damage, and wouldnt even bother to repair it.
Is it worth trying to replace the screen?
Other suggestions?

If you are savvy enough, you can try buy a spare part and install it yourself. Should be well below 100 bucks.

I just replaced the screen myself, and it works perfect.
Nokia N95 or SE P1i? Tried both in this period. No thanks.
I did replace my broken screen too : really easy to do and very cheap too. I paid ~20$ for the replacement screen and got it approx. 1 week after ordering it online !
Could you tell us where did you buy it from? Just in case...
First of all, I followed the doc in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311463 to dissassemble the Trinity.
I bought my spare parts from Cellular Nationwide Network (http://cnn.cn/) : cheap and very quick delivery directly from Hong Kong.
Good day to everyone
20 bucks is really a big big bargain. The cnn site actually says $47.99.
http://cnn.cn/shop/3600dopod-d810-screen-p-1734.html
You must have special relationship with them
Oups, my mistake : yes it's 48$... but still cheap regarding a machine sent back to HTC for repair, I think...

After searching the internets and this forum with no success, I have finally found out how to order replacement parts and where to send my wizard in for service!
Replacement parts from HTC direct: 888-482-8725
Service from HTC: 888-356-2375 (They answer as Tmobile customer care, but are actually a division of HTC).
I got in a very violent car wreck last week and my wizard was found 30 feet away, scratched up (with a screen protector), with no battery or back cover. I ordered a replacement battery and cover with shipping for $40 that arrived the next day (I'm in Dallas and they're in Houston)! My wizard still works fine and I can send it in to HTC for them to put a new case for $80. They wouldn't promise me, but the rep said he'd try to get me a 8125 case instead of the MDA case (keeping fingers crossed)!
I would love a new case for my xda mini s, any brand would do. Come to think of it i would like a new front cover for the screen too (maybe just the digitizer) as it has a few feint marks.
If anyone has a contact in the uk that can get any parts please let me know. I'm happy to do the job myself.
Do you know if it's possible to purchase the casing without them instaling it? I have the service manual, and I'm pretty confident in doing the case switch myself. I currently have an MDA, but i find the keyboard on the 8125 to be nicer. Just my opinion.

Does anyone have the current phone # for HTC parts? I am looking for a G1 touch panel - just the glass. Thanks!
I'm in the same boat as InksterOne. I need to replace the glass panel on my G1. Not the whole LCD assembly, just the glass. I need a place to order HTC replacement parts.
http://www.mobile-phone-lcd.com/
That place was awesome for LCD and touch-panel purchases, I got my G1 touchpanel (the glass piece) from HK in 3 days, and it was a genuine replacement part as well. I'm still looking for a place that sells the other parts... >_<
gsensor is not working
my gsensor is not working on my touch diamond. could you pls help
Can you share with me the email ?
Hi.
I need an HTC parts supplier, and your finding would make my day.
As I live overseas, and sometimes is hard to find a solution by phone when you can´t spend hours in the phone, I wonder if you have a name and an email which I can use to ask for Rhodium parts over there?
Thanks in advance.

anyone have an update on htc parts supplier? i need a hero speaker replacement!
I've used RepairsUniverse.com last few times I've cracked one of my screens. Last time was last month on my brand new HTC Droid Incredible. They had both the LCD and the glass screen replacements (i just needed the glass) and they had all the other models also. They always ship fast, and both times i've been very happy.

HELP!!!!!
Yesterday I was foolishly playing around with my MDA Vario and it fell from my hands...onto the hard floor. Now the display is cracked (mind you, NOT the LCD!!!!!Just the glasstop, digitizer, lense or whatever you call it). It still works perfectly but when I press with the stylus over the crack it just freaks out. End of the day: I can use it but I can't play with it. I spent AGES googling for a solution but apparently all I can find is LCD replacements (which actually DO include the screen...but cost 3 times asmuch). Anybody can help? please.........I'm desperate!

What a bummer!
HTC europe and usa are selling parts give them a call and see if any joy
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=49361
and here http://www.htceurope.com/uk/
Ouch! I'd be kicking myself if that happened to me!
Hope it won't cost too much get it repaired
PS. Doesn't your Olympus C150/D390 have an upclose (or "Flower") mode? You'll be able to get clearer shots if you select it.
Got it repaired!!!!!!!For "only" 70 pounds... I went to a shop in South Wimbledon and they made it on the spot for me. As a matter of fact they changed my LCD too (they tried to put just the display but apparently there was a "ribbon color" problem). Nevertheless, I got my UNbroken LCD back as well, so now I'll try to sell it and make a bit of money (7o quids for a piece of glass is a bit toomuch, uh?).
Considering that after HOURS of research I had found nothing better than a 169 euro full repair (LCD+glasstop) -in Germany...- I reckon the £70 was not a rip off anyway. I missed a beat when I saw that crack yesterday, and I swore to myself I'd get my baby back in action...with less than 100 pounds. Mission accomplished ;-)
If any of you guys (AND I DO HOPE YOU DON'T) breaks JUST the LCD (but not the glasstop), let me know and we can work out a nice price for both you and me (I have a spare LCD now...And if you read till here you might be in need of one!).
my e-mail [email protected]
p.s. Thanx to the forum I found answers to ALL my queries...but how comes NOBODY before me broke his glasstop?!?Am I the only silly one who made it?? ;-(
ciao guys and thanx for your help anyway (btw: htc europe was USELESS and no, I have no little flower on my girlfreind's sad OLYMPUS camera!)
cracking and hacking are forbidden here in this site, so please dont crack your screen again
70 pounds are really tooooooooo much for a broken peice of glass, but what else can you do? you have to buy it!!! any way, congratulations you have solved the issue finally.

Sorry for your sceen!
Were did you find you "emule" skin?
Thanks
Seb.
I took my phone back to O2, I had no insurance, so i was expecting to have to pay to get it repaired (the girl behind the counter looked at me like i was insane to try and get it fixed "It'll be sooo expensive").
However when I went to pick it up a few days later, they gave me a new one, with new battery, earphones, stylus etc... for free!
The receipt simply said "unrepairable".
You have a great service in europe, I live in an arab country, once you crack your screen here they will say " you have broken your screen to get a new one, but you will never!!!" then they take your mobile to fix it, you wait for 24 months, then they say that they cant find the mobile, so they give you brand-used siemens A-35 mobile instead of the mini s, saying that "they have almost the same features. either accept it or go and kill yourself"
Thats how our companies deal with us!!!
Thank god, you live in europe!!!

Are you in jordan? I cracked, no better yet SMASHEd, the screen on my 9500 about a year ago when i was on summer vacation in Saudi Arabia. I took it to the warranty repair center and i just had to convince them that it was an accident. They gave the device to a very talented philipino guy sitting in a little cubicle, 15 min later, had my device with a new screen. 30 minutes later had traded in the 9500 for a I-Mate Jam(my first windows mobile device).

You are completely right, but do you know why did they do that with you? because you are not arabic guy, you are american. Lets be fair, the service in Saudi arabia is a bit better than the service in jordan, but when an arabic company deals with an arabic customer that cracked his screen, they will crack his head and kick him out of the company office.
Ofcourse, our companies are not as bad as I describe, but it will never happen that you crack your screen and they simply give you a new phone with a new battery, because they feel that they will look stupid.
Thats how our companies deal with us!!!

where can I buy a screen for the Cingular 8125????
Hi. I called the HTC parts number listed above and they say they do not see the LCD screens, but only repair them. I have looked online and can only find 1 site that sells the LCD for the HTC 8125 (www.pdasmart.com) but they charge more for the part than it costs to send the phone in to get repaired!!!!
So far the cheapest way to to replace my screen is to pay $169 and send it in. Does anyone know of a cheaper way to replace my screen???

I presume we are the $169 site that you found. You can also order just the part and receive a 10% discount on the part. There is no warranty when purchasing the part only though. Simply put "part only - 10% no warranty" in the special instructions field of the order.

I am so annoyed with myself.
I've had my Exec now for just over a year. But to be honest, there has been nothing else that takes my fancy.
Anyway, over the weekend whilst camping I put my mobile down in the back of the car. I was then movin stuff around, and accidently put a gas bottle on top of the screen. I now can't see anything when I switch it on, and can see a mark at the top when switched off.
To be honest, the screen was feeling a little loose anyway. Is it possible to just unscrew the top and screw on a new screen, or can anybody do screen repairs?
Or is there something similar that might be worth getting in replacement? New XDA for example or maybe Ipaq?
unscrew the top and screw on a new screen.in indonesia it will cost u 2.300.000 rupiahs.or u can do it at srvice centre.
Well, I found a company who have replaced the screen. But the display rolls if the case is shut so has to be left sticking up. They say that the "top board" is damaged and the pressure causes the problem, but they say they are struggling to source a replacement board.
Replacement screen = £100
Replacement board = ????
Starting to sound like better buying a 2nd hand one from eBay!
Take it into one of the carphonewarehouse service centres and see what they say, their standard repair charge is £40
Dude i had the same prob with my exec. a repair shop quoted around 12000 Rs ie:146 Pounds, so i cancelled ma plans of repairing it. But after waisting sum time on ebay i finally got a Screen for 60Pounds n got it fixed for only around 3 pounds. n It works like new.
So i think u betta buy it from ebay.

After reading your post in a forum based on the installation of an IMate JasJar screen, I see you concluded your post by saying the job of replacing the screen was "easy". How much time did it take to make this repair.
Thanks,
John

You can pick up a replacement screen/touchscreen for between £50 and £70 on eBay. Replacing is a straightforward affair. Just follow the instructions in the service manual (you'll find it in the forums if you do a search) and should take approx 20 minutes.
Just for your comparison:
My screen was broken. The qtek service in the Netherlands asked 250 euros..
I was planning to go to China (Shanghai) anyways, so I waited and had a new screen + repair for 120 euros... I'm happy!
I think I need a new ribbon cable. For about a week my screen would turn off when I slid it open. Then about two days ago when i closed it it would flicker and if i wigled the front of it it would stay on. Now sometimes it turns on and sometimes it doesn't. I tried to kinda peek in between the two parts and it looks like the ribbon has a crack in it about half of the cables thickness. I called the htc service and repair number for tmobile phones and the guy on the line said that the average price to repair that would be about 70 bucks. Should I try to find the cable and replace it myself (I dont have alot of skills opening phones although I did change the LCD in my nokia 5300) or should I just send it in? Any other choices recomended? Final question, does anybody know where i could get that ribbon cable? Any help is appreciated. I hope I explained my situation well enough. Thanks again!

well i would call tmobile and have them send u another phone they would be able to replace it i just had mine replaced for like 20 bucks
I probably should have mentioned the phone was purchased used off of craig's list so I dont think i can get any warranty out of tmobile...
i would call anyways it cant hurt to find out if anything ***** for like 30-45 mins and say u cancel ur contract and they will send u another one immeadtly lol
I dont think they'll give in. They didnt even wanna sell me insurance for it! I'll try later just for the fun of it...
I called. They said there is nothing they can do. Oh well. Guess I might have to go through the htc repair... I hope its not too pricey
you miight have to pay like 50-75 dollars
Yea I have similar problems... I would buy it a SquareTrade but in order to do that you have to have bought it off ebay... So I would have a friend "sell" it to you via ebay (at the desired insurance price). Then buy a ST plan on it that covers accidental damage and your phone will be under full warranty... Do your reading thou.
Hi everyone, after 18mths my HTC Touch (Elf) touchscreen has stopped working! I did a soft reset and hard reset, but now in the hard reset it asks me to touch the screen to setup Windows Mobile, however I cannot do it as the screen does not work!
There is no cracks or even scratches as I use the screen protector. I have been reading about LCD's & Digitilizers, but cannot work out which one I need..
Can someone please help me. I want to buy a kit off eBay to repair it but not sure exactly what I need.
Any help will be great!
Do you guys think US$200 is a good price for a HTC Touch Duel with no scratches, as new ? I can buy one for this price, but have never used a dual, and would love my original htc touch to be fixed...
About mine:
- 18mths Old
- No scratches or damage
- Slight corrosion on the plastic where sim card etc goes, not internally but just on the mirror type plastic there is slight green corrosion but it can clean off easily.
- never been in water or anything like that!
Touch screen does not respond to touches anymore, this happened over about 2wks.. it started to not work now and again, then it switched off automatically a couple of times over that period... now it is not responding at all for about 10 days now!
I took to vodaphone and it is out of warranty, I am insured, but it is a load of bullcrap to get insurance, and even if you do you still need to pay a premium of between $150-$275 (AU$) so i might aswell either juszt pay to get it fixed or do it myself.
Cancelling Insurance on this phone ASAP, never getting insurance ever again, only for the first 12mths if phone is over $1000
insurance is lame, and only benefits if phone is lost or stolen.
cheers any1 that can assist me!
You need a digitizer, about $20 from eBay, easy to replace, just see Service Manual for HTC Touch. Better still if you'll get the entire front faceplate with digitizer already attached, simply because it makes your life a lot easier, all you'll need to do it connect the digitizer and assemble the unit.
thankx so much enigma1nz, i was thinking only the digitalizer was needed, but what is the diff between the lcd & digitalizer? I mean in functions etc.
thanku so much for ur time.
I will be ordering the replacement peices, do you think I should do myself or take to a repairer. I am tech savvy, I build PC's, replace RAM etc.. so it should be easy, yea?
cheers

LCD is the screen itself, it shows the information, digitizer is responsible for the touch function. It is relatively easy to replace, simply because the design of the device allows for direct connection with no soldering involved. There is a service manual with photos floating around somewhere, I think even on this forum. Just search for it.
Thanks Enigma1NZ, I actually got a pdf of the dissasemble guide for the htc touch, so should be perfect, I just ordered a digitizer off eBay for only AU$13.60 inc. delivery, so that is awesome!
I got a call from my insurance company today, they want $175 excess if the phone is 'approved' for insurance, plus they kill the imei number too, i told her not to worry and I'm cancelling insurance (already paid $180 all up).... damn rip off, maybe okay while in warranty, but otherwise I will not be making that mistake again!
I will keep ya'll updated, and will be videoing me pulling apart & replacing so I will upload it 4 others too.
P.S enigma, love ur photos posted in myspace.. nice work
I love Touch for the simplicity and straightforwardness of its build, I was surprised the housing was so easy and reasonably cheap to replace (I am thinking of getting mine in red...or purple...). The worst digitizer replacement has to be for 1-gen Iphone and LG Prada. Blasted capacitive screens are the way of the future though and are pleasure to use.
Thanks, i got you added. Let us know how you went. Insurance companies are a bloody rip-off artists playing on our insecurities. I deal with them often when it comes to repairs. Makes no sense to insure after a warranty period simply due to technology depreciaton - you end up paying more in excess than the device is worth at the time.
Yeah the phone looks fairly simple in its housing, I have played around with it a bit... I was actually seriously thinking about replacing my housing while I was in there to white, since I saw the Magic I love the whiteness! I would love a silver housing though, that is the ultimate but have only found white so far.
I will keep you'all updated here with photos 'n video with what I do change.
I was going to buy a prada actually, I think the screen and whole look is amazing, It was tempting but I am very satisfied I chose my touch over the Motorola Razr, Prada and Touch... Touch wins
Cheers again enigma1nz.
I heard LG screens lose sensitivity over time.
Hi, a friend of mine talked to me yesterday about his touch. It seems he has the same problem of the digitizer stoping to work.
Where can I find the service manual and do you know of a good place to buy the digitier?
Tanks!

There's a sticky topic at the top of this forum with several service manuals that you can use. As for buying the digitizer, ebay and dealextreme.com have them for cheap.
