Replace TouchScreen - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

I need to replace only the TouchScreen on my Prophet.
I have bought a replacement TouchScreen and opened my case fully to reveal TFT/TocuchScreen part.
I was disappointed to note that I will need to do some soldering, but worse, I noticed that the TFT and TouchScreen were stuck together. What do I do? Is is a case of being forceful and pulling it apart?!
Would be great if anyone could give me some support!

I have the same problem.

hi,
today i have replaced my touchscreen. the touchscreen ist clued on a metal frame. you have to use a cutter knife to get the touch screen off the frame. you should disassemble the touch screen and the lcd screen first. you must also remove the flat cable an solder it later again.
please excuse my bad english. i hope i can help you

Someone have the manual or solution for this now? We also need help.
I want buy this http://www.truesupplier.com/touch-screen-for-o2-xda-ii-mini-qtek-s100-i-mate-jam-pr-16436.html
I've provided the solution here:

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.

Question about:Replacement of LCD and digitizer and a wierd piece

Hello everyone..I recently replace the lcd for my niki htc...I bought the screen from ebay for $35 (plus shipping). Everything works fine but sometimes when i slide the phone the screen is wably or it looks like something is not connected and it moves but when i close it and i restart it again. it's fine or if i let it for awhile like that (so it goes on and off). So my question is...Is it the manufacture that made the screen, or is it something that it hasn't been connected right?
The other question is that my digitizer is broken in the up left corner and im thinking to replace it does any one can tell me how to take of the digitizer. i have found this website :http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_touch_dual/ but it stops at the screen it doesn't tell you about the digitizer.
And the 3rd question is about that little piece it has fallen from somewhere while i dismantling my phone, i took a picture of it so someone can tell me what it is and where it goes.
Thank you very much for looking, and sorry for the noob questions first timer dismantling a phone and i loved IT!!!
You may wana have a look at the service manual, wich can be found here:
http://www.mikechannon.net/page1.html
It says that you can not disassemble it without replacing the speaker!
When you remove the speaker you need a new one. (or at least this is how I understood it
Maybe that part is the door for the MicroSD Card slot?
no i opened the cellphone 6 to 7 times so far. all you have to do is to unscrew the small screw that keeps the speaker in place so you can have more space to work with it.
all you have to do is to take off the digitiser where it gets connected. take the screen off. and raise the little black strip where the digitizer stripwires come out and push out the digitizer. it feels liked it doesn't go out but if you push it carefully it will. they have glue it with some kind of glue that it doesn't come off the digitizer but it stays on the cellphone so you can put in place your new digitizer...
If anybody needs help... pm me or leave a reply in this thread.
speaker rubber perhaps?
I just replaced my digitizer today (bought the handset from ebay - faulty touch screen). The little rubber that covers the speaker fell out in my hand when I was dismantling mine, so maybe thats what it is (looks similair).
Oh a quick question - after replacing my digitizer, my touch screen still doesnt work, even after hard reset - when asking to 'tap screen to set up device' it wont respond to any taps. Any ideas ?

my friend i think you have a bad digitizer, some people on ebay send defective digitizer and especially when they are from china they don't really care about sending a good one.... I had to send mine back 3 times!!!! i just got the last one 3 days ago and it took me at least a month and a half to send me a working one...If you pay with paypal...Tell the ebay user to send you a good one...Do not!! Do not!! send feedback until you got a good digitizer....Mostly it has to do with the connectors i guess where the digitizer connects.... Tell them that you need a new one and you can't wait for very long...tell them this is a customers cellphone and you need to have it fixed as soon as possible.. If they don't want to exchange for a new one dispute the payment!!! Don't wait too long...Do it Asap... As i told you there lots of defective digitizers....I had reset mine also but nothing happens i believe this is mostly hardware problem...If you have any questions about how to dismantle ask me... I have open my cellphone over 10 times cause of the digitizer
Thanks Nikos, Im fine with opening these devices they are easy enough to work with.
I purchased a digitizer for a Polaris not long ago and it worked perfect. Im gonna take the Nike apart tonight again and adjust/fiddle with the connections to make sure - I dont want to wait another 2 weeks for a replacement digitizer and pay for postage lol.
But i guess if it doesnt work tonight I will have to 'grin and bear it' and send it back
Just built in a replacement digitizer. Everything works quite well, some inaccuracies in the lower parts of the touch screen, but it works.
I managed to leave over a screw. And a barely visible stain between the Digitizer and the LCD.
But at least it is working again as a replacement phone and for testing various stuff...
btw, now knowing the phone from inside, that part could be the "door" between the SIM slot and battery. or the rubber part that directs sound to the microphone on the bottom front PCB.
cheers

How do replace LCD with digitizer

I want to replace cracked screed with new LCD with digitizer and went thru service manual. I am struck at the point where I have to remove antenna cover before I can go ahead. Can somebody please help. I am from small town in India with no service centre. Got new original LCD with digitizer via ebay.

Victory, I managed to sucessfully repair my HD today.
Parts needed:
Digitizer ~ € 25, --
LCD Display ~ € 74, --
------------------------
Total: € 99, --
Time: ~ 3 hours
Difficulty: high
Special precautions:
After complete dissembling the HD according to the service Manual you can find in the net you will have to lever the display out of the front bezel from the front side. It is very likely the color and the frame will be damaged a bit! It's best to use a fairly broad plastic "spatula" and lever the display out. It should be noted that the glas of the digitizer is glued to the LCD display so it is very unlikely to repair the HD in case of a broken front glas by only changing the digitizer without changing the lcd display as well. This is unfortunate because digitizer is available very cheap (under € 30, -) over the Internet and usually only the glass of the digiziers breaks.
So who likes the risk and doesnt want to pay the horrendous costs of repair stalls here is the first case of a positive self-repair. PN if you want details. I am sorry but I have no pictures, because I repaired the HD at work and had no cam there.
Hard to replace LCD for touch hd
It is really very hard to replaced Lcd screen and digitilizer for touch HD.
I replaced mine last night for 3 hours. But before you start to separate the lcd from the case you must have a double sided tape for you to be able to return the lcd on the case. The tape will also serve as a sealant to your screen from dirt and to hold the screen on the housing.
Broken LCD
Yes, it's hard to change the digitizer.
I tried, I failed.
As my digitizer was broken (one can see a kind of watering effect, and no press effective anymore), I bought just the digitizer alone, without lcd screen.
12 € incl shipping. Nice price.
Here is what I received : cf. joined img 1248 (images are at the end, need moderator green light to do better. note : larger version available on frapi.com/vrac/cimg1248_rs.jpg.html (click on image for the others))
Seems OK. The plastic tool is bull**** (too soft to unclip the antenna)
With the help of the service manual, it wasn't so hard to dismantle it like that :
cf img 1251
Now the tricky part, level one :
you have to break apart digitzer+lcd+metal shield from the rest
cf img 1253
Be very careful when opening. try to lever only on the digitizer glass, that you will change anyway. You also have to unstick the metal shield under the LCD, because of the wiring there, attached to the digitizer :
cf img 1252
OK, done, you have that, digitizer+lcd :
cf img 1254
Now the tricky part, level two :
Split lcd from digitizer.
Just avoid doing that :
cf img 1257
cf img 1261
if you don't want to end like that :
cf img 1265
Don't ask, I don't have the recipe.

LCD manufacturer
Hello,
can anybody of you tell us the manufacturer of the display ? May I ask you to provide a readable picture of the labels behind the screen ? Or to write us the text on the labels ?
Many thanks, best regards Wolfgang
How do you fit the cable between the digitizer and lcd screen? Is it just a connector or do I have to solder it?

If I can read the labels I would try to get a detailed specification of the display.
Many thanks, best regards Wolfgang
Hi all,
From the bottom is the lcd screen, after a black thing, and after is the digitizer glued on the top glass...
What is the name for the black transparent thing that goes between the screen and the digitizer? It is flexible but I accidentally made it to curve and now it has some marks inside.

Hi again,
Eventually bought a standalone LCD screen, came pretty quickly from HK (paid Friday nite, received today Wenesday in France).
was quite easy to install.
One tricky point :
LCD is glued on digitizer ; LCD position is paramount, and you have to insert the LCD in the phone body, then place the digitizer on the LCD, so that they are correctly positionned one to each other. If you don't, you won't be able to close the phone.
Phone is OK now

got it today
I got the plastic tool, the torx screwdriver and the lcd+ digitizer for lessthat $20 cdn, i have exams going on so i will work on it over the weekend, will post with extreme details and possibly a video on HOW-TO change the digitizer!
osamaali, any luck yet?
lol
im not going to post a video because a major **** happened, due to lack of knowledge around on the net i should say this clearly that YOU HAVE TO PRY OPEN THE LCD SCREEN FROM THE FRONT! use a thin yet broad and strong object to go between the side wall and the screen and start pulling, i used a knife and cut all the way around before i started prying to cut the glue which is stronger than "Arnold" and all the dismantling from the back is to get to the chip where digitizer is plugged in.
when taking the screen off i took off the main screen, then the touch resistor screen and then the glass at the end (3 layers total). the glass is also stuck to the main "monitor" this is where the colors come from, i got impatient and pulled it hard enough that the monitor did not get time to detach.
i ordered the monitor lcd, im going to edit the video for final upload. sorry for the delay but everyone now know
YOU HAVE TO CUT AND PRY IT OPEN! if you guys get stuck pm me and i'll reply here. also i got the touchscreen to work but killed my monitor, i can still use the phone but the bottom 1 inch is blacked out.
GL HF!
Prying it open would only cause a mess, with broken glass falling. I like to work in a clean environment so i just get a hair dryer, switch it to high and do a figure 8 on the screen. Sure it takes quite a long time to get it off but trust me it comes off in one piece. The only problem i got now is putting the button on correctly. I aligned the buttons but once i put the lcd+digitizer on the buttons would get jammed or stuck. End call button is still clickable but the rest are jammed. PM me if you can help me or just email me at [email protected]

[Q] Digitizer replacing

Today I aquired a HTC Trophy with a cracked screen.
It was not cost effective to have it replaced by the workshop, so I'm attempting to replace it myself.
Following the MicroSD replacement guide by DominikZ, it's been a fairly simple and straight forward process, but I have now come to a point which I'm not sure how to proceed.
I've gotten to the point where I have the two ribbon cables disconnected, and have now separated the systemboard from the front. The front frame now contains the LCD, digitizer and speaker.
Does anyone have some tips on how to proceed from here?
What about the other 3 (black) screws? Torx 6?

hey man, i hope that the following site can help you abit.
i was mugging around at the "xda cn" just a minute ago,
and i saw some one had a post tutorial about how to rip out the HTC 7 Trophy safely.
(the site is below my comment), well it is all in chinese, i guess you properly won't be able to read it but the good news for you is....all these stuff is always with photos...and not just one and two...is alot...alot of photos
the photos are very details, i guess it should be able to help you out with something even a little.
Good luck with that, and once you jump in to the site...once you finish looking at the first pic, click the page 2 it will brings you to the second page, and keep looking, u should be fine with that even you don't understand the chinese..

Thanks for the tip Lance The pictures were easy to understand, especially when I don't read chinese.

The three screws on the back of the lcd casing is not screws. Those are threaded cylinders, for attaching the front with the back.
Hey there
how far have you got with repairing the screen as I also acquired a HTC Trophy with a cracked screen. The phone still works so there is no rush but I need to know what I need to repair this unit?
Hey.
No progress so far. I'm not sure how the glass is attached to the front housing, but I have an idea that it might be glued on from the front.
You may be able to extract the glass from the front by using a hairdryer and something thin, like a razorblade. However I have not tried this yet, so I can't say for sure.
Good luck ;-)
There are digitizer replace videos for the htc desire:
youtube.com/watch?v=sXZqIjtFoAU
If the Trophy is build in a similar way you can see how you to remove the glass at 4:00
You can use a hair dryer instead of an oven.
Hi folks, been a long time lurker, came here after looking for a solution to this very problem, so, nlamer here's how to do it, be warned though it's not an easy repair.
(och, I cant post image links until I have made 8 posts :-S )
see attached photos, i'll prob need to do a few replies to post them all.
1:- Strip your phone down and remove the logic board from the chassis, carefully remove the lock tabs to release the ribbon for the LCD & digitizer
2:- Use a heavy duty knife ( I used a stanley blade ) to slice the adhesive holding the LCD to the digitizer, it's only held round the edges so you dont need to go too far in
3:- Peel back the cracked digi and just slice the ribbon, it's attached to the back of the LCD and your not going to be using it again anyway
4:- The LCD is held in place with the light grey adhesive strips, use a spudger to remove it, just be careful not to put too much pressure on it or you will damage the LCD, in my experience it's always better to have a replacement on standby just incase
5:- A quick check to make sure the LCD is still ok, you never know!!!
6:- On the old digi you will need to remove the three clear plastic tabs at the bottom and transfer them to the new one, these feed the LED's to the capacitive button's on the bottom, they are held in place with some adhesive & are not difficult to remove
7:- Remove all the old adhesive and apply some knew strips, I used 3M stuff here and trimmed it to fit but I dare say there are adhesive kits available on eBay
8:- Do the same to the LCD
9:- Line up the LCD with the marks on the digitizer and press it into place, the digitizer ribbon has a small piece of adhesive to attach it to the back of the LCD
10:- Place the display into the chassis, make sure the ribbons go through the gaps in the chassis and everything lines up before committing to pressing down
11:- If all goes well after re-assembly it should be looking sweet again.
Hope that helps yourself & other's out ;-)
Regards
Thanks for the instructions irepairtechstuff. It is greatly appreciated. I almost have my device wrapped up, and ready to go, but I'm having some trouble with the digitzer.
It seems behave as it pleases, and does not register pushes and swipes as it should be. Any tips on this?
Nevermind the last post.
I cleaned the connector with some alcohol, and now it works perfectly
I just got a trophy, I don't understand the adhesive verry well. I though you had to put adhesive on the underside of the touchscreen digitizer (along the edges of the screen) and on the metal frame, under the lcd or the underside of the LCD, but in this turtorial you see adhesive along the edges of the upside of the LCD?????
HELP!
Is there nobody who can help me?
Try private messaging the users who manged to get this to work. They should receive and email and might be able to come back and look at this thread.

[Q] [Questions]Hd2 fall....

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?

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.
