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

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
I managed to run across a couple of extended batteries for the Touch Pro and I was wondering if those would be compatible with my Fuze. Also, the cover that is included with it doesn't seem like it will fit over the camera/LED correctly. Here's the link to one of the websites: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/17445.htmJust wondering if this battery will work with the Fuze. Thanks for the help.
The battery will work, it's just the cover that won't fit
(check the shape of the Touch Pro with the Fuze... )
Thanks for the help. Sorry about the question, I really just meant to ask about whether or not the cover will fit because I knew the battery would be compatible. Also, have you been able to locate a replacement back panel for the Fuze? The glossy,geometric one? I have searched but have only located the rubberized version. Any info would be great. Thanks again.

Extended Battery and back. I was thinking of getting it just for the back because it looks like it has some texture - unlike my Fuze... (sorry for the long link, I haven't figured out how to make a hyperlink...)
Hi pkirill,
I like this one. Have you already used this battery? Anyone used this battery pack??
TIA

Yea I saw that one before but the only problem is that I just got a case for the Fuze and I think that it would no longer fit with the larger back panel. I've noticed before that they have made extended batteries for other HTC devices that don't need a larger cover so I guess i'll have to hope they come out with one for the Fuze. Thanks for the help.
Just looking at replacing the screen on my blackstone as I've scratched it to buggery, so was perusing ebay and happened to stumble across this little beauty:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/for-HTC-Touch...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1683|293:1|294:50
Really HAD to share this with the community and see how other people react to the fact the screen on this looks like its made out of paper. In fact one edge is bent in the first picture.
...epic lulz.
Also on a side note, can anyone recommend a method for getting the screen replaced cheaply? I'm tempted to call HTC; I'm well within warranty, having only had the phone for 5 months but I know they're gonna charge me an arm and a leg. I see a lot of digitizers on ebay, but not sure if they include the front screen part which I actually need to get rid of the scratches. Any help would be great!
The seller has nearly 10000 positive feed-back and the screen looks fine to me.
Although how someone who needs a new screen because he does not even use a screen protector can describe someone else as an epic failure is beyond me.
heres the service manual, hope be helpful..
enjoy...

Yes I noticed the seller has a good positive feedback, but don't you think that the fact it looks like it's made of paper is slightly amusing?
And yes, I didn't use a screen protector... sue me. This is why I was asking for help from a knowledgable community; thanks for the flame and a post of non-useful information.
Cheers for the service manual limx, having a flick through now
I could totally be off because I am new to this techie stuff but the listing says "This is Touch Screen (Digitizer) only, LCD Screen is NOT Included"
Yeah, that is just the digitizer, hence why it is "paper" thin. They are supposed to be!

From my experience, it is really hard to change de digitalizer because it is fixed to the screen. And if you force too much, you will break the screen also...
Just buy the kit screen+digitalizer, easier to replace but also more expansive
does anyone have a printable screen template for the sprint hero?
i found some for the touch pro and diamonds but havent been able t find one for the hero .
Please elaborate? Do you mean just screenshot of the stock screen?

well im looking for a template so that i can trace and cut for a screen protector.. i know you can purchase screen protectors that fit the hero but i have yet to find one that fits the entire screen ( to the very top of it ) most only cover to the logo at the top fo the screen.
and my wife wants a mirror one. so she bought one ( without my knowlage ) but it needs to be cut to fit ...
Oh ok. Once I get home from work I'll see if I can dig something up (if some hasn't beat me to it).
I can just whip up a black square that's 320x480 for ya... stay tuned.
Here you go. Just print this out and it'll be 320x480 pixels (size of every droid phone from g1 to hero, excluding the newer ones)
I would believe that he's looking for a template covering all the glass...not just the section that is over the screen.

Good work but he is looking for something to cover every inch of the glass. More precisely, there is a little curve at the top that I am pretty sure he wants to cut out exactly so that you can't tell there is a screen protector on.
Not sure if you ever found what you were looking for or if you even still have a hero but i am about to make one. I have a new phone coming moday so i am going to apply tape to old one and cut it out and draw it up in autocad. stay tuned
Edit: Ok here it is. i have also created a new thread to hopefullly have stickied. please search Screen Protector Template (PDF) and vote the thread, thanks.

how about one for the Droid 2?? ive searched high and low cant find one for the life of me
Hello im quite new to this site, and have been looking around for the root to come. but in the mean time i have ordered a new cover and it came today. i have now disassembly'ed my phone and changed the cover, this turned up to be a little difficult. 8 scrues at start and then its just clicking off with some gentle force the rest of the way.
but then i bumped into a little problem.
The touch module itself is actually glued to the front cover and is very difficult to take of.
I did manage to get it of, by using a hairdryer and blowing hot air into the frontcover with the glass touch module. by varming it up the glue got soft and i used a hobby knife to like cut under the glass where the glue is.
u have to be very VERY carefull coz i manage to get a little crack in the glass, coz i didnt heat it enough, i would recommend being 2 person for this, 1 to hold and cut the screen off and 1 to heat the glass at same time. i did it one person and got a little crack innit.
but got it off and mountet it into my new white cover, but the screen still being the black color around, wich actually looks really sleek so its not entirely white in front.
I was really scared that i might had broken the Touch module coz of blowing such heat onto it. and was nervous when turning my phone back up. but it seems that it works perfectly wich was a relief :'D
but i just wanted to post this to people if they were interrested and maybe have thought about changeing cover them selfs..
i my self am not used to disassembly phones this was a first and i think i did pretty good aside from a little crack in the screen glass. ^^
just be carefull and gentle and you can suceed without a screen crack like me its not a big one just a little one u barely notice but still

Couldn't get into the photobucket album !
Do you feel that the white case is an original one ?
should have fixed the album since it was set to private but now its public.
i havent really seen the original white cover but the back cover on original black cover you know its kinda rough black. while the white one i got is smooth and blank, it does have the xperia text and sony ericsson logo. but try checkout the pictures they should work.

but hey i can still see the black body part in the white one.....was that intentional???
does the phone feel the same as before....i mean b4 changing the the body.......n plz get sum info on the cover??????
which one do you feel is better white or black???
Hi ****nap,
thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Do you allow me to add your pictures to first post in my "Upskirts" & "Disassembly" Thread?
(You find a post in my Signature from where you can jump into)
I'd be happy if you read my guide and add some suggestions.
still dont really know if its original, havent seen the original white and dont know how the original feels. dont think the service center will do it for you, but you check into it. yea the front still has the black part, it was not intentional, but thats how it came out coz of the touch module being black. if u want complete white u will have to buy a touch module that is already white. and it aint cheap
