I have had my wing for only 2 months and I bought it off of a friend.
When I had it I noticed two little scratches at the right hand-side bottom of the screen, but everything worked perfect......until now.
The problem I am having is that the touchscreen is not responding right att all. The main screen is crystal clear (it functions right) but the touchscreen interface is does not repond to touch or when it does, it activates another section of the screen different from where was pressed.
Do u guys think it's really the touchscreen layer on the main screen that is faulty or could it be something else triggering a faulty reponse?
Thanks in advance.
I had that same problem with an HP iPAQ hx2490. The only thing i can say to you is: You need to buy a new screen and replace the old one..
sry
You do not need to replace the whole screen, but the touch screen digitizer will need to be replaced. I had that problem on my prophet and had to have it replaced.
Thanks guys for ur quick reply... I'll take the step to replace the necessary part....Thank you.
Doing research on this I see where these cost at least $50 or more. Is it worth it? Can you not get a new one cheaper using the offers posted on this site? Just curious.

replacing the digitizer has way more steps than just changing the whole LCD screen. I had similar thing happen to my old MDA and I replaced both LCD and digitizer with new ones. Separating the Digitizer from LCD might damaged the actual screen itself. I suggest go to ebay and buy a combo screen+digitizer replacement part.
I got one for my MDA for 78 dollar shipped.comes with flat plastic tools, plastic screen protector, T6 screwdrivers, and wiping cloth. Not a bad deal.
The only reason I suggested just replacing the digitizer is cost... My I had to replace the digitizer it cost $60 instead of $100 for the entire screen...

ok, i dont have any problems anymore.... a couple of days ago the touch screen on my uni stopped working. i would just like to tell people what i have done to solve this, although most of you already know etc etc ... always usefull. theres a little screw to the left hand side of the screen when it is turned. when removed with metal plate will come off and you will be able to see the flex cable. i had to adjust mine slightly as a friend of mine (without telling me) had turned the screen round the wrong way and forced it!! ARGH!! i wound it round untill it allowed the screen to rotate nicely, seemed to solve the touch screen problem. anyway though i would post that hope it helps someone.

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
Hi,
As the the title indicates, I was wondering whether anyone who has replaced their screen/digitizer could tell me how difficult it was to do so. My current Touch has a number of scratches on the screen surface and I would like to replace it; but it functions fine and always responds to any stylus tap, etc., and displays everything perfectly.
I had two specific questions:
1. Given that I want to replace the exterior part of my screen, is it indeed true that I want a DIGITIZER and not a new screen? It's my understanding that the digitizer is what records stylus/finger taps. The digitizer is basically an exterior layer above the true screen (which is what displays all images, text, etc., through the transparent digitizer).
2. To replace the digitizer, in addition to opening up the Touch with a small tool, do I need to solder anything or do anything other than just unplug the old digitizer and plug in a new one?
I would hope that the whole operation takes about an hour to complete.
Thanks!

Hi yai, I opened up an elf several times and it is not that hard to do. A howto is published, with clear photo's of the interior. You don't have to solder because the screen (with digitizer) is linked with a (very small) flat cable to the motherboard. It is advised to use proper tooling
so where can we buy a new screen, and how much does it cost? can we do it ourself?

Yes, you can diy. They sell on e-bay for about 20 euro's. Have no experience with shipment or quality from e-bay sellers. E.g. pda parts and repair in the Netherlands.
Oseven published a howto in the past.
Sold for $10 on http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20650 (free shipping). But be warned that it takes couple of weeks for the shipping.
I had to replace the screen on my touch.
I followed some instructions here clicky
The page is in another language, but its easy to see what to do from the pictures.
It took less than half an hour to get it all done.
I bought my screen off ebay for £11 including p&p
Works like a dream.
Dont be scared to do it.
Just make sure you use the right tools or you could damage it.
Yup i bought the same one from dealextreme and it's working flawless ,, there are sites which sell these digitizers for high as $100 even... i dont know how much qulaity difference will that make... but this one for $10 is working perfectly without issues till now...
Thanks, great offer at dealextreme. Just ordered a replacementscreen to test the quality, 3 screenprotectors and disassembly tools for only 12 euro's
Found a decent guide to help replace both Screen and Digitizer

I was off by 1 step replacing the Digitizer. Looking at the replacement digitizer I kind of knew that it is glued, but never was sure until looking at the guide.
http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/OSeven's Disassembly Guide to the HTC Touch - Elf .pdf
I could have replaced mine months ago (which was working fine but had watermark like damage - caused by my toddler son.)
Sriks
I have done it and it was not very difficult.
You are correct you are replacing the digitizer and not the LCD display.
Things to watch for:
When you are opening the phone watch out for some clips that hold the bottom together. I snapped mine and had to replace the body. The idea is to pry open the top portion of the phone and then slide the back up to release the cover.
Once that is done you are halfway there.
There is no soldering required. Everything plugs in to quick connectors. Raise the white bars on the plug connector before you pull or insert the flat cables.
Have fun
Good info, moved to general.
Please most in correct forums only.
I recently replaced the digitizer. Cost Rs.1500 if u r in India..
Hi everybody,
My phone got a bit scratched and as the touch screen is not working anymore, I was seeking for a brand new phone cover as I'm going to disassemble the phone to replace the screen as well.
Alas, I wasn't able to find anything of that kind on eBay... You need to dig in the trillions of EXTERNAL covers that are utterly useless to me...
Do you guys know a trustworthy place to buy this internal phone cover ?
Thank you !
em..i had see nothing ever.
If by cover you mean the front "glass" which you touch, that's actually the digitizer (which is responsible for the touch interaction with the screen), the actual LCD screen is behind that. And if that isn't broken you just have to replace the digitizer not the LCD screen. You can order each separately on ebay, but be warned if you disassemble the phone yourself you'll find that they're glued together and if you're not careful praying them apart you might just break the screen.
Anyway you could just try separating the two before you order and see if you manage it and then just order the digitizer. The other option is to buy them both already assembled (although I think that costs a bit more) and just replace the whole thing.
Hello,
I have dropped my Jiayu and the front panel is broken, the touchscreen is not responding, but I don't see that the screen is damaged. I've plugged the mouse via OTG cable and I could use the phone in this way.
So my question is could I just replace the digitizer and the front panel, or do I need to replace the whole screen? (where front panel and digitizer is included of course)?
I don't even know if replacing the digitizer is possible due to the fact that it is glued to the screen.
display and digitizer are one part!
But there is a possibility to buy just digitizer.

I have successfully replaced displays on 3 S3 already, it's fairly easy,. Replacing the digitizer only might be possible if you have the right (semiprofessional) equipment, but I doubt you will succeed. Try it if you feel sure... I would not.

I was in the same situation with my Jiayu S3 two months ago, I bought the digitizer (I month wait until it arrived from china aliexpress ) and brought it to two local mobile repair shops...
Neither of them would change the digitizer...both said they could change the whole screen part only as the digitizer is very difficult to change and you need special machines to do it....now im waiting for the whole screen part to arrive...(another month )
So your best bet is to buy the whole screen and change it yourself or in a techie shop...or look for another phone if the 50$ price of the screen doesn't convince you...
Good luck
Will this work? My LCD is broken and the touch is not responding.
