Just as the title says... How hard is it to replace the digitizer without replacing the lcd? Anyone have a how-to besides the HTC Service Manual?

Hi,
I tried it and gave up, bought a new LCD set and replaced that. Basically digitizers come with different connection tape and you need to play with it to make it fit and then solder everything together. I'm not a newbie in that but unfortunately with my tools and the condition of the wires in the phone it was imposible. I posted it before but once again i'll give you good advise: but the LCD set. it's worth it!!!
Take care,
Tom
Hello everyone,
I am new in your community and I hope you can help me.
I am searching for manual that explane LCD touch screen (digitizer) replacing for Qtek s100 for like 5 hour in Google.com and your forum.
I try diferent key-words in search options but i couldnt fined it.
The only thing that i understand from posts, that i find, is that there is a menual describing this process, but no one know where it is.
Please, if there is such manual, give me direct link.
Or you can discribe me what do do.
I can easy take apart my phone, but i cant separate Touch Screen from LCD screen. They seems to be glue to each other or somthing.
I will value any help.
Best Regards.

This is all that you need.
Click on the link for the HTC Magician.
These steps I already knew, what I need is how to mount the digitalizer because I think that is solder to the LCD, and this manual does not explain how, someone knows how to do?
The digitizer is 'glued' to the LCD screen. Don't wast time trying to separate the two. I've tried it. Just replace the entire screen assembly. They are cheap on ebay.
So why sell the digitalizer if there is no way to replace it with a new?
I didn't say it's impossible, but it doesn't make sense to go through that hassle. Buy a new screen assembly and be done with it.
Need to be solder, but with tool can I use to solder? Anybody could give me the steps how to off the old LCD and then solder the new?
It can be done with a regular soldering iron with a very fine 'tip'. Since you are using a fine-tip, you'd have to ensure that there is no circulation of air in the room (which will quickly cool the tip of your soldering iron). Obviously, you aren't going to do this in a 'cool' room either.
Personally, it makes better sense to simply replace the entire screen.
I'm now under the impression that Antix already bought the digitizer, hence he is being so persistent in separating the two components.
I have not bought, I saw on eBay this digitalizer very cheap http://cgi.ebay.com/LCD-TOUCH-SCREE...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262, but it gives a lot of work I go buy a complete screen.
Thanks
done it
Hey, i just separated the digitizer from lcd and change it for new one. I used adhesive cleaner to soften the double sticky tape holding digitizer on the lcd. Moddeling thin knife to cut it arround (ull probably will crack the digitizer, i did ). Clean the contacts on the other side where the ribon cable goes, put a litle solder onto each one of the four of them. Do not forgot to use the soldering paste and good clean soldering tip. Put some double sticky tape around the lcd, cut it as required, attach new digitizer. Clean the end bit of the new ribon cable with lighter, so that only cooper lines are wissible. use fine sand paper to clean off the cooper . Put some solder on to the ribon cable, again use the paste. then solder it on to the lcd ribon. on the end put some (electric) tape over the joint to keep it strong and assemble your htc again. Works wonders, and does not cost £40 for whole new screen but only £6-7 for the digitizer.
cheers
I now have a great deal of respect for you since you were able to pull-off such a delicate procedure.
I need to replace only the TouchScreen on my Prophet.
I have bought a replacement TouchScreen and opened my case fully to reveal TFT/TocuchScreen part.
I was disappointed to note that I will need to do some soldering, but worse, I noticed that the TFT and TouchScreen were stuck together. What do I do? Is is a case of being forceful and pulling it apart?!
Would be great if anyone could give me some support!
I have the same problem.
hi,
today i have replaced my touchscreen. the touchscreen ist clued on a metal frame. you have to use a cutter knife to get the touch screen off the frame. you should disassemble the touch screen and the lcd screen first. you must also remove the flat cable an solder it later again.
please excuse my bad english. i hope i can help you

I got a new digitizer for my Wing : how is the digitizer attached to the back of the lcd ? is the digitizer cable welded or glued to the ldc board?
thanks
Here is what I found while searching google for a step by step process to replace my housing. The tutorial goes into detail on how to replace the screen/digitizer. The wing's screen/digitizer combination should be one piece, although you can buy each separately. I am assuming you have one piece so I have included the link below. If you by some chance have only the digitizer and need to attach it to the protective screen then the link below will not be as helpful as I would have hoped. Good luck.

Hi all,
I've the following question.
My screen cracked with the LCD.
Now i see on ebay different kinds of lcd. So far i know is that the solder type screen is meant for the EU version and the no solder are for the TMOUS...
Or am i wrong?
I dissambled my HD2 and i saw that my LCD+digitizer is the no-solder part.
Can someone provide me the part number of that or those two parts (LCD + Digitizer).
I want to buy the correct screen.
Thnx in advance
there is some good info in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219130
