Hi friends,
I've broken the digitizer of my Qtek S100 and I was wandering if it was really possible to replace ONLY DIGITIZER without LCD, since it still works perfectly, just the glass of touch screen is cracked and in the upper area of the display is difficult to digitize.
I read over the net that somebody has separated the two components, and I find plenty of offers for the only digitizer, but e.g. without instruction and adhesive film to put between LCD and Digitizer.
Once for all I'd like to understand if it's possible or not and, in affirmative, if somebody has really done this and if this superboy can explane me/us how to do.
I think there's a lot of Magician/Qtek S100 owners in my same situation, since it's very common to break the touch screen.
P.S. I broke it in the worst way it's possible, since I was trying to pull some air bubble out of the screen protection film...I pressed too much and...that's it. So...BE CAREFUL WHEN DOING EVERYTHING WITH YOUR DISPLAY !!!
Thank you all in advance.
no answers...
Hi, I see that 190 peoples have been interested to my question, but no one has posted any reply... Is it possible that nobody can give US an answer ?
This question should have been asked on the magician accessories thread and not in here...
anyway, if you want a digitizer, buy one on ebay. There's alot of people selling digitizers for the magician.
Regards,
Keeper

My Imate 2020 LCD dont function when I tab it, whether soft reset or soft update, there's no response when touching the screen.
What is the trouble? Can anyone please help me?
You could try a hard reset, if it still doesnt work it is probably hardware problem with digitizer.
I see people advertise new LCD's like this. LCD + touch screen, is there a difference? It is as if my screen top has become stiff. Seem like some liquid marks in screen, dont know how that happened. Can that be cause, then what must I do? Thanks for response.
mine stopped working when i pressed it too hard (got a bit enthusiastic with the cleaning), but it started working again 10 minutes later

hi. i have an 8125 and i was painting and fell from the ladder. i wasn't hurt all that much but the the screen on my 8125 cracked and now there is bleeding everywhere inside my screen.
does anyone know if i can replace the screen easily by myself or where i can even get a screen?
i think someone was going to sell me a broken MDA (screen good) and wondering if that screen would work for the 8125.
thank you.
Hi!
There was similar discussion some time ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51395
Actually I broke my screen too this weekend I ordered replacement from ebay, such as this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140005879931
I am going to try to replace it by myself according to Wizard service manual. In my case only touch screen is damaged - not LCD, but it seems that these come as one unit. If I will find that these can be separated, I will have spare LCD part. In my case I have O2 XDA mini s - I do not know if lcd is the very same as in Cingular 8125 you have.

Gutted for you m8. Hope you manage to get hold of something cheap.
Update to my previous post - after much tinkering I was able to replace broken touchscreen of my mini-s.
Some notes:
According to Wizard service manual there are two LCD versions:
p/n 60H00032-00M - LCD Module, (LTP280QV-E01 Samsung)
p/n 60H00037-00M - LCD Module, (TD028STEB1 Toppoly)
It seems that these are not interchangeable but I might be wrong. I was trying to replace my 60H00032-00M with new 60H00037-00M (whole module with lcd & touchscreen), however it did not work - LCD switched on but was all white. Then I managed to separate touchscreen from new module and replace it with my broken one. Seems that it is working now. It is possible to replace just touchscreen but care must be taken not to break it and some very fine soldering must be done.
To theorist - if you want to replace LCD by yourself you should check for exact part number of your LCD and find similar one - that should work.
So now I have spare and useless for me 60H00037-00M LCD Module (LCD only without touchscreen) that probably is in working order as I suppose that it is just not compatible with my mini-s.
In the US, HTC America can fix it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=49361&highlight=
Hello everyone,
I am new in your community and I hope you can help me.
I am searching for manual that explane LCD touch screen (digitizer) replacing for Qtek s100 for like 5 hour in Google.com and your forum.
I try diferent key-words in search options but i couldnt fined it.
The only thing that i understand from posts, that i find, is that there is a menual describing this process, but no one know where it is.
Please, if there is such manual, give me direct link.
Or you can discribe me what do do.
I can easy take apart my phone, but i cant separate Touch Screen from LCD screen. They seems to be glue to each other or somthing.
I will value any help.
Best Regards.

This is all that you need.
Click on the link for the HTC Magician.
These steps I already knew, what I need is how to mount the digitalizer because I think that is solder to the LCD, and this manual does not explain how, someone knows how to do?
The digitizer is 'glued' to the LCD screen. Don't wast time trying to separate the two. I've tried it. Just replace the entire screen assembly. They are cheap on ebay.
So why sell the digitalizer if there is no way to replace it with a new?
I didn't say it's impossible, but it doesn't make sense to go through that hassle. Buy a new screen assembly and be done with it.
Need to be solder, but with tool can I use to solder? Anybody could give me the steps how to off the old LCD and then solder the new?
It can be done with a regular soldering iron with a very fine 'tip'. Since you are using a fine-tip, you'd have to ensure that there is no circulation of air in the room (which will quickly cool the tip of your soldering iron). Obviously, you aren't going to do this in a 'cool' room either.
Personally, it makes better sense to simply replace the entire screen.
I'm now under the impression that Antix already bought the digitizer, hence he is being so persistent in separating the two components.
I have not bought, I saw on eBay this digitalizer very cheap http://cgi.ebay.com/LCD-TOUCH-SCREE...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262, but it gives a lot of work I go buy a complete screen.
Thanks
done it
Hey, i just separated the digitizer from lcd and change it for new one. I used adhesive cleaner to soften the double sticky tape holding digitizer on the lcd. Moddeling thin knife to cut it arround (ull probably will crack the digitizer, i did ). Clean the contacts on the other side where the ribon cable goes, put a litle solder onto each one of the four of them. Do not forgot to use the soldering paste and good clean soldering tip. Put some double sticky tape around the lcd, cut it as required, attach new digitizer. Clean the end bit of the new ribon cable with lighter, so that only cooper lines are wissible. use fine sand paper to clean off the cooper . Put some solder on to the ribon cable, again use the paste. then solder it on to the lcd ribon. on the end put some (electric) tape over the joint to keep it strong and assemble your htc again. Works wonders, and does not cost £40 for whole new screen but only £6-7 for the digitizer.
cheers
I now have a great deal of respect for you since you were able to pull-off such a delicate procedure.
Hi guys,
I am from the Middle East and I just bought my hd2 locally for a slightly higher price, and now my internal LCD screen is cracked. It didn’t fall from my hand and I didn’t fall while its in my pocket, I just leaned on my car, nothing rough at all and the leather casing didnt protect it. Now somehow the external touch pad is not broken but the internal lcd has 2 horizontal cracks/lines, thus I can only control but can’t see, I was able to see half of my screen for a while but now I can’t see anything.
I contacted my local repair center for hd2 and they told me it’s going to cost a whopping 400$ to fix!
Now my questions:
Can I fix it myself with my own skills or should I save and pay half the phone price to fix it? Is it risky to fix by myself?
Should I buy both the external touch pad and the internal lcd screed from the internet or only the lcd screen (cheaper)? I read its hard risky to separate them.
Which parts to buy from the internet? How do I know if its original parts? anyone recommend a website?
Currently I have some important messages on my phone that I desperately need, I didn’t setup any kind of sync with pc before the crack and I have a phone lock code on. Is there any chance I can read my messages on my pc?
Thank you very much
Use the search function, there are a lot of threads regarding this issue, I am sure you'll have all your questions answered.
I wouldn't bother to try to do it yourself, you need specific tools and knowledge to do the job properly, and the parts aren't exactly cheap either.
I was in the same boat as you buddy Look at my Sig
Hello guys,
My HD2 was fallen on his screen yesterday. He seems to be in good state but it is just in aspect, the screen don't display anything except white strips and, the touch ability seems not working at all (When I press to do a slide to unlock nothing happens => no vibrations). In the right hand corner, the lcd screen seems to be a little broke.
You could see the problem at this link: http ://img25.imageshack.us/i/imgp0001by.jpg/
Do you have any ideas of causes of this? I have to change lcd screeen and capacitive screen? And it is possible to do it of my own?
Thanks for your answers and if you have any tutorials or other help, I'm grateful.

The cause is obviously it being dropped. Yes you have to change your screen if you don't want to have a broken one and may have to get a new digitizer. I don't know you so I don't know if you have the skill to do this yourself. If you have a warranty then carry it back so they can fix it, if not (or that's not covered under it), take it to a cell phone repair shop. They should have the equipment to fix it (digitizer, lcd, etc..) and you can pay for the service and equipment there.Hope this helps.
Thanx a lot theonew I try to see that quickly!
Do you have some reference on the web to get this components? A serious website selling this both components?

You could go here: http://www.dinodirect.com/htc-hd2-t-mobile-touch-screen.html and here for lcd (with tools for installation is optional): http://www.smartphonebay.net/LCD-Screen-for-HTC-HD2-p/lcdp-htct8585.htm. I could not find both on one website. Anyways, I hope you can fix your phone.
Ok, to fix my phone it's 200 euros, I'd like to try to fix it on my own and now I'm at this point: http: //img835.imageshack.us/i/imgp0001c.jpg/ and this http: //img59.imageshack.us/i/imgp0002le.jpg/

Well, You always can buy LCD and digitizer from eBay, taken apart or already assembled LCM (about 80-120$ for digitizer+LCD module). You have to be careful which model you buying if you decided to buy LCD and touch apart, both must be for European version of HD2. LCM assembly are compatible for any model of HD2 LEO, I've tested both T-Mobile and EU at my EU version of HD2 and they worked very good.
Separating the digitizer is not a easy job, most cases you have two broken pieces in result, but if you still want to separate them, first thing to do is to heat them to about 60*C (Celsius degree), then separate digitizer from LCD with a sharp-edge thin plastic sheet, i.e. a credit card with sharpened edge. LCD and digitizer are sticked together with a kind of black double-sided scotch tape, it is easy to see it but it is very easy to damage digitizer during this process due to very thin Indium Oxide wires on it that is easy to scratch.
The best thing is to buy fully assembled new LCM and simply replace your old LCM. In addition You nave to remove old LCM adhesive from phone housing to assure proper alignment of your new LCM. It can be removed with ethanol or isopropanol (take a cloth, wet it well with same alcohol and gently rub the grued surface until it will be clean).
Here are the Official HTC HD2 Disassembly/Assembly Training Videos but there all components are new and unused.
