hi,
I just broke my Jade's screen this morning. I saw on other threads that it can be bought but I wonder if the replcement the replacement screen is "plug and play" or does it need soldering ?
Besides, my case/cover is also broken... any sites for that ?
thanx
replacement screen (digitizer) is plug and play available from £6GBP on ebay.
If you have also broken LCD (which is underneath digitizer) this is also P&P but costs from £25GBP on ebay

Hello,
I am looking to purchase a glass top for my HTC Himalaya (XDAII). Does anyone know where I can get it from?
Thanks you.
abohsali,
Do you mean a new touch-screen?
Codenix.
Hello,
No, only the glass top on top of the digitizer. the digitizer is intact.
Thanks
hhmmmm maybe i'm way off but as i understand it then
the xda is lcd and then a plastic layer which is the touch-screen
mine sure dont have glass over the touch-screen of cause i have a xda1
All pdas have an LCD touch screen but there is a glass top of the LCD. When you use the stylus and tap on the screen it is on the glass top that you are tapping.
the touch part is not a part of the lcd screen itself
it's a semi soft layer on top of the lcd and can be changed without
changing the lcd
there is no glass on top of it and this is why people spend coins on
screenprotecters to put on top of the touchscreen
i have a link to a online store which sell both lcd's and touchscreens for xda1 but i dont think they work on xda2's
i`m also looking for a digitizer for an xdaII. not found once yet, xda digitixers are for sale for about $60, which is a bargain in my opinion, but when you look at the xdaII there is only one ribbon cable for the screen which incorporates the lcd and digitizer so a repair appears to be very tricky. I`ll keep looking though
Hello-I need help finding a place that in the USA can repair my xdaII. I just dropped it on my marble floor -- OOPS! I thought you may have heard of a place for me to send it?? I believe I've broken the lcd & glass...it functions fine but has major cracks/shatter marks thoughout the screen...Let me know if you can help & thank you

8525 Digitizer Installation...
Hello,
I have an 8525 with a broken digitizer (LCD OK). I replaced the whole unit with a new combined LCD/Digitizer. It is a pretty straightforward repair. It took me all of about 15 minutes (you just need a #6 torx and a jeweler's phillips).
Just in case this happens again, I purchased a new digitizer (only). I want to remove the old digitizer from the LCD screen and replace it with the new one. The problem is: the digitizer ribbon cable is attached to the LCD screen, possibly soldered but I can't tell. Are there any instructions anywhere regarding the digitizer removal and installation?
Thanks
Im new to all this whats the digitizer exactly?
The digitizer is the top portion of the screen. It's what registers your stylus' contact on the screen. It lays on top of the LCD and it looks like 1 piece, but its actually two. And for those wanting to know if the digitizer is soldered, the answer is no. It's held in place with tape, but it is easier to just replace the combo instead of just the digitizer. Most often then not, when removing the damaged digitizer, it will crack and may possibly damage the lcd, or so I've read. I just recently cracked my lcd, so i got a combo and switched it out, just to have a scratch on the digitizer the following day. That's life. Waiting for my next new combo to come in the mail.
You'd be better replacing both the lcd and digitzer as 1 unit than try to unglue and reglue the digitizer onto your screen. A lot of hair pulling and screaming involved and no guarantees it'll work. For the $100Aud I'd just replace the lot in one hit. As markus1959 said its a 15 minute job but stuffing around with just the digitizer is a major hassle. Even Mike Channon (he's the hermes hardware guru) advises against that unless you're really into pain and frustration....
Cheers...
Hi,
from where do you all get a new LCD (+ digitizer).
My LCD is cracked (digitizer OK) so I need replacement.
I live in Switzerland and I can not find a shop with a reasonable price.
Hey,
My HTC Universal screen just cracked, surprisingly without any outside intervention. It was ok this morning and was sitting on my desk. When some friend called me and I picked it up the whole upper screen was cracked. Weird.
Anyway, it's time to replace because I really like this device. So I was looking on ebay and found some sellers who will send it for around 130$-140$ USD. I was wondering if there are some cheaper sellers available outside of ebay that I couldn't find.
Also, maybe someone has a broken Universal with a working screen. My device is missing the front plate (where the IR) and I could always use the extra parts.
Thanks!

Exactly....But the touch screen digitizer is very hard to replace. I have taken mine apart only to find it near impossible to replace without damaging the rest of the phone. I only wanted to replace the housing, but you must replace the housing and digitizer together.
NOTE: If you attempt this, remember to remove the stickers over the little ribbon cables before sliding them out. Found that one out the hard way.
Your best bet would be to send it to hTc for a repair. I really wouldn't risk it if I were you... I only did because I have trianing in electronics.
oh ok, any ideas of the costs when sending it to a repair center ?
The repair cost me 157 euros for replacing the housing and touchscreen sensor.
And if you want to prevent further costs with such issues .... uh ... quit smoking
Hello guys,
today my hd2 fell on the floor and the display cracked. the lcd and touchscreen are still working fine, even in the area where its cracked.
Is there a chance just to replace only the plastic case on the lcd? Or do i have to completly renew it?
Thanks!
Nope, sorry.
There's no plastic display on the HTC, nor anything plastic. The LCD is soldered to the digitizer and normally both should be replaced. They cost around 100$, and the replacement is about 200$ in the HTC center. You do the math, it's the price for a sec hand HD2. Otherwise, you can buy and change the digitizer (costs around 50$). But this is a very delicate operation to do by our own -you have to cut the LCD from the cracked digitizer and do many other things. As someone have said for some other reason "it is an easy operation, but if you have no experience in soldering, do not try to learn it on your laptop motherboard". So, your choice is between repairing it in HTC for 200$ and "repairing" it some other service for 100$, with questionable quality and voiding your warranty.
As you may guess, I have walked that road already. My HD2 was 1 week old. After some sleepless nights (as I was wondering what to do AND because the "perfectly working cracked screen" had cut my fingers) I sold it 100-120€ under the second hand market price and found a new one. That's also my advice to you. I.e. the first one. The second one is to buy a silicon cover for your next HD2.
