I bought mine on eBay from e2_shop.
Not sure if the link works but for instance: Brand New OEM O2 Exec/Qtek 9000/MDA Pro Full LCD screen
Broke my screen a couple of days ago.
Im on my way to buy a used universal (need new screen + frame) and I wonder If I will be able to replace the screen + frame without hardresetting the unit. I have downloaded the service manual but I couldnt find any info regarding that. If any one have any useful tips on replacing screen + frame plaese let me know. Do I have to take the phone apart or is it possible to replace screen and frame only by loosing the screen?
Thanks in advance,
Miki
Hi, my o2 mini s touch screen just stop function after i accidentally splash some water on the screen. Wondering anyone has similar experience? Please advice I can just change the touchscreen (which I can get from ebay easily) or there might be some damage to the chips inside?
buy from ebay a new screen.
check before you are bidding that the screen
come with tool to exchange the screen...
but is it really the screen problem or the chip insides might damage?
I have just got my replacement digitizer in the mail 2day from Hong Kong and installed it just now, all is working perfectly as new again. I did a hard reset when the touch screen was first playing up, so I have lost all my themes, settings etc but luckily my office docs etc are still intact.
Anyhow, I made a video on how to replace the touch screen, its only quick as I did not go from the disasembly part, as there is already videos and tutorials on this, so I just documented on the actual digitizer replacement, which is actually basic 2-5mins work, but I thought a vid would be good for any noobs needing it in the future.
Once I edit it all up I will post the video here.
If anyone needs help on replacing the digitizer just ask. DON'T be tricked into buying the LCD + Digitizer if you only need the touch screen, as it is very easy to do without the lcd, though some ppl disagree.
Thanks for reading, thread will be updatd with Vid asap.
Hi X86
I have a crack on the upper plastic case, thats prob. why I have dirt showing on screen. In your opinion where is it located and can I clean it ?
It seems as if (if the crack is on the actual original housing, not just a add-on case) that dirt/dust has fallen down inbetween the digitizer and the LCD, so you can see it through the touchscreen right?
This is fairly simple to fix, you will either need to patch up the crack with silicone or something (best from the inside so it does'nt look messy) OR buy yourself a whole nw housing which cost about US15-$20.
Then just pull your elf/in apart and use cotton tips and wipes to thoroughly clean the LCD and insides.
If you need any help, just let me know via PM or here.
?Good Luck!
Thanks
That was my feeling, now I just need courage to take apart the casing (either repair or replace )
Thanks for bringing up this issue in the forum and extending your hand to others.
I appreciate it alot.
Hi x86
I have read the sticky for disassembling the elf. Can you tell me if it's necessary to unscrew anything and remove the rear speaker in order to remove the front panel ?
Edit: I think I found the answer in the next pics, the 4 screws attach to the front panel, right ?
Hi, i've just entered the world of winmo. i've recently wrecked my Elfin. But i can't seem to figured it out whether it's the LCD or the digitizer is broken...
1) my Elfin's screen turns to white with a few red and black stripes on the lower left corner, it doesn't react to any touch gesture.
2) i can still activesync the device and seems that my SD card is still working, i could copy out my PIMcontacts...thank goodness
3) the alarm still rings the next morning, i assume my device is still operating, of course now i've taken out the battery.
4) i've ask the phone shop for repair enquiries and they said that the replacement parts are not for retail selling in my country, Malaysia... so it needs to send back my Elfin to OEM and takes about 3 weeks time and cost around USD $ 130 bucks....
5) my friends told me it wasn't worth it, thus i was thinking of looking for help online and finally i found this thread...
6) can anyone offer few pieces of info? i thank you 1st.

That sounds like both a Digitizer and LCD issue.
Red and white strips is caused by the screen, while the phone not sensing your fingers is caused by digitizer.
But you still managed to use something like mymobiler to rescue your stuff right?
Yeah, you're in Malaysia right? In Singapore, to get this items, we have to get it off ebay or dealextreme.com.
But be careful with this, it void warrenty.
If you send it to HTC service centre, it may cost $160> Singapore dollars.

Hi
I just dropped my phone and the screen cracked and isn't responding. I'm going away on Tuesday evening so am looking for the quickest/cheapest replacement. I'm in SW London UK. I have a second Nexus 4 that is water damaged so I'm not sure if the touch screen is working on that or not, but the glass is fine. I don't have any tools that might be needed either.
If anyone can recommend a somewhere that can replace it while I wait or send out a replacement for Tuesday I'd appreciate it. I'm not sure how this works and whether or not I would just need a new glass screen and or new sensor.
Any help is appreciated.
edit: is this everything I'd need? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-Google..._DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d2c44fff0#shpCntId
I won't have time to order anything that I can use by tomorrow now.
The touch screen isn't working but I can see the lock screen and that looks fine. I just can't unlock it. I don't know if I just need a Replacement Touch Screen Digitizer Glass or a Full Lcd Touch Digitizer Screen. What is the difference? Is the latter for if the screen itself is broken and can't display anything?
Any help is appreciated.

Unless you have experience separating digitizer/lcd, it's way worth the extra price for the whole assembly. The two are glued together and it's very easy to damage the lcd during the separation.
