Hi, i broke my Elfin display (T-mobile unlocked) my screen looks like this: (touchscreen is still working):
. I think i need the entire screen+digitizer thing and not only the digitizer? therefore this ? http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-screen-p-1900.html
Unlucky
The touch screen has 2 parts. The plastic outer screen is the digitizer and the lcd screen is the one underneath. When you take it appart the digitizer stays in the top of the housing and the lcd is attached to the middle bit.
Looks like you broke the LCD for sure but maybe the digitzer is ok - you will see as soon as you take it apart. The post here about how to disasemble a touch has clear pictures so check it out its quite easy to take apart if you follow the guide.
Yeah that definitely looks like you broke the LCD which is underneath the digitizer. Either take it to a service rep...or if you think you're up to it.....you can attempt to take the phone apart and replace the LCD yourself.

I have sadly broke my screen but it looks fine, it's just the touch not working. Im new at this and I have no clue what the difference is between the lcd and the digitizer. I need to know what to replace on this. please help.
screen and digitizer
the screen is the actual lcd display while the digitizer "touch" part of tthe screen. now i havent replaced the screen on my wing yet but most units the screen and digitzar are one complete unit sometimes the digitizer can be seperated with a razor blade (not recomended) personaly i would replace the entire unit (lcd and digitizer)
Hi,
The touch screen of my HTC elf doesn't work anymore.
I am going to order some parts to change the digitizer myself and also the casing to make it look a little newer.
Anyway, I'd like to understand how the touch functionality works exactly. Is it a pressure on the digitizer itself that make a "touch" or is it a pressure on the digitizer that press the screen and this action make a "touch" ?
When I power my disassemble Elf, a pressure on the screen itself doesn't do anything....
I'd like to know if I need to order a screen as well
Hi,
just replaced my own elf's digitizer a month ago... and the phone is like new.
To answer your question it's the digitizer that reads pressure and sends the data to the system (if you already disassembled it you should have noticed a flat cable that connects the digitizer to the board).
So if the screen on your elf is working you should solve the problem by replacing only the digitizer.
You rock, I order now
My friends screen cracked on his phone so he bought a new one but I cant seem to find a service manual or guide on how to remove the screen, its the digitizer not the lcd screen. I disassembled it as far as I could go but it almost looks like the screen is just glued =/

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is just attached with an adhesive. You can carfully pull/pry the screen off of the casing. Once it is taken off, the new screen will stick to the adhesive and you shouldn't have any problems
thx for the advice, worked like a charm
Hi
I've dropped my HD2. Everything is working, including touch screen, I can unlock the phone, I can answer the call, but screen is black, not broken.
What should I do? Does the lcd screen replacement will be sufficient? In that case, could the screen be ok, but some other display "processor" could be dead? I'm asking because I'll try to this on my own.
Could simply be the lcd cable has slipped slightly but probably more likely an LCD replacement needed.
You need remove rear housing & have a look & make a decision from your findings/testing.
hello
I've got a little update - lcd screen is working well - I mean it displays the image, the only malfunction is backlit. Right now when i use flashlign I can actually see whats on screen. Do you have experience or think that backlit connection can be repaired? Do You have any schematics for hd2' lcd ?
I suspect new LCD required by sounds of it. LCD can not be stripped for repair so after basic inspection of external connection replacement is only solution & not expensive due to falling cost of HD2 parts.
I have a G530, the Tmobile version, though fully unlocked, rooted, etc. I had cracked the digitizer and while waiting for a new one I dropped it again and the LCD popped out with the digitizer, disconnecting itself and would come back on after that. I got a new LCD and attached it to the board (disassembled) and all worked. I mounted the board back in the case and reattached everything but then only the backlight would turn on during initial boot. The connection seemed loose and after 2-3 reconnects I got my display to work, but while attaching the digitzer, the glass at the very top, just before the lcd starts broke... So I got ANOTHER lcd and digitizer (They're cheap) This LCD only gives the backlight at initial power on, with no display response, but no matter what I do, I can't get it to kick on like the last one.
I'm trying to get an idea if it is the new LCD, or if my connector on the board is broken, It looks like maybe a bit of plastic at the top broke off.. and is making the connector a bit loose. Since I get a backlight, anyone have any experience as to which is more likely broken? I'm not sure if power from the connector goes straight to the backlight, or if it goes to the LCD first, and if I would get a backlight with a bad LCD. These are cheap $25 LCD & Digitizer bundles from Amazon, like 'Mencia' brand so good chance I could have gotten a new one that is dead.
I'll try to get another up close shot of the connector, this magnifying app didn't focus in as well and you cant see the individual connectors as well, but they are fine, its the very top part of the connector looks a bit smaller. The bottom part has a piece of metal sandwiched between the plastic, but the top doesn't have a bit of plastic after the metal tab, of course, it could be absolutely nothing :s
