I some how managed to break my phone's LCD screen. Not sure how it happened... I swear. I called T-Mobile hoping for a replacement and as expected they courteously asked me go F#%K myself. It's almost a new phone so I'm not willing to give up on it.
So now, I'm looking for a way to fix it. First, I want to know where I can find a compatible LCD screen for a descent price. The once I've come across so far are more than $100. And second, instructions on how to replace the screen.
Any help with this will be truly appreciated.
Thanks!
Anyone ever figure out the replacement process? My daughter broke hers yesterday.
Thanks
when you order a screen..it should come with tools.
you use those to remove the housing..
then you basically unplug the old LCD touch display and plug in the new one..
i think.
I saw the higher priced lcd's on ebay that included tools & instructions. I basically have the tools I need. I would just like to have the instructions and an lcd. Wny are things like this so hard to find nowadays.

I have the instruction on how to do replacement for LCD (t-mobile wing) only to take out screws and if your not aware of every detailed of what your doing your probably end up killing your WING
Go on ebay and look for a ebay seller by the name of lcd4pda. I talked to him in email about the lcd screen, he has the tmobile wing lcd in stock with tools and instructions. 65.00 to 85 bux to get one and it comes with the digitaltizer on it which my wing has a hole in the digitalizer and i have to order a new lcd, hes my best bet.
New LCD, still not working
I dropped my Wing a week ago and it seemed fine. Put it in my pocket and then took it out a couple hours later and the screen had about 4 cracks in it. I assumed it was because I had dropped it earlier. The screen was white except for some blue areas where the cracking was most severe.
I ordered a brand new replacement LCD screen on ebay and just finished installing it. To my utter dismay the screen is still completely white!! It seems to respond to my touch (it goes brighter when I touch it), and it turns on and off w/ the power switch, but there is nothing but white on the screen.
Is it possible I got the connection loose when I installed it? Or is it likely there's something else wrong with my phone? Thanks in advance for any help.
It's probably a bad connection. Did you ever think you'd have to go through so much disassembly to replace the screen? Just so everyone knows, lcd4pda is legit.
Edit: Shipping was extremely high ($16.99). The location on eBay is shown as Canada but, it comes from Virginia. via First Class. I checked shipping to my location on the USPS site. It only cost $1.98. The package weight is 6oz.
Tell me about it! I had to practically start taking photographs to remember where all of the pieces and screws went. I dropped one of the screws on the ground and it took me 10 minutes to find . I'll disassemble again later tonight and refit all of the connections to see if that makes a difference. I sure hope so.
For those replacing their screens, the service manual:
http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocke...58716/HTC-Service-Manuals-Dismantling-Guides/
has a good set of instructions on how to disassemble the Wing. The hardest part is when you have to use a credit card or something similar to unseat the keyboard. You actually have to insert the card or other plastic tool between the edge of the keyboard and the edge of the phone. The pictures confused me because it seemed like I was supposed to insert the card flat into the side of the phone but really, if your phone is sitting on top of the table, you actually insert the card DOWN into this small space.
Also, for those that are new to removing the connections that are in the phone (like I was), there is usually some tape that you have to first remove before you can unhook the connection.
It worked! The connection from the screen to the phone, the one underneath the RF board, wasn't pushed in quite far enough. I reseated it and voila! I now have a working phone again that can not only receive calls but can make them now!
Now that I know it works, I can also recommend seller superpc168 on ebay. $49.75 for the screen and I spent $15 for 2-day UPS shipping.
Thanks cracula. Just ordered a screen on ebay. Hopefully I should be able to fix my phone.
still have white screen.
does anyone know what i can do to fix that. i tried reseating everything but it seems to still have the white screen. any help will be appreciated.
Replacement Wing Lcd
I got a Replacement LCD for my WING for $55 at WWW.HTCLCD.COM
..........
The weirdest thing!
I found the manual through various places including here on the site. With the manual every thing went fine. EXCEPT THAT NOW THE MAJORITY OF THE KEYBOARD BUTTONS AREN'T WORKING. It must be a faulty connection on my part of course. I'm gonna give it another shot tonight and see if it works a gain. I found the screen on the fonlogix site(blackberry8100parts.com).
Broken lcd tmobile wing
i just had my wing lcd screen fixed but by someone who doesn't work for tmobile he fixes phones and installs iphone programs on them also.. He charged me $100 to fix my lcd screen, tmobile wanted between $150 to $250 to fix it i told tmobile screw it i'll find somwhere and i did.. If you can find an outside source to fix your phone do so..
i broke my screen on my tmobile wing a while back.....was taking a 7 hour drive and the phone was sitting on the passenger seat in the sun for a few hours, later on that evening i picked it up and noticed i had a nice big crack on the screen from top to bottom somehow
called tmobile, they told me i had been paying the insurance they gave me the phone # to the insurance people, called them....paid a $100 deductible and got a brand new replacement wing
never thought i'd use the insurance, glad it came handy!
if its under warrenty dont tell them its broken say its a bloack screen theyll send you a new one and they will charge you once you send it back 100 dlrs for out of warrenty thats not bad for another phone wing
https://blackberry8100parts.3dcarts...ment-LCD-W-Touch-Screen-Digitizer_p_6-69.html
only $55. they sent me the screen but i had to remind them... a bit slow (nearly 5 days to process the order) but it is good and they provide instructions

Screen Replacement Services
Another option, especially for those not comfortable with tearing apart small electronics, is to have the phone repaired by a professional. I actually own a small company called Jet City Devices that can replace the screen on your T-Mobile Wing. The cost is a lot lower than a new phone and you'll have your phone back - with all of the data in tact - in under a week.
Just an option for those that don't want to spend their time trying to figure out how to fix their Wing themselves.
Hey guys, on day 3 with the Dream and it no longer turns on (well kind of). It will vibrate and the backlight will go on but there is no screen and no other function. Not sure what to do next besides return it.
And I just gave my sister my old Touch yesterday !
Edit: I also took the battery out and put it in a few times, charged it all night, etc. Also tried the Home & End key to turn it on.
Edit 2: When I call it from another phone it goes straight to voicemail even though the phone is technically powered on
Hold down Menu when powering on and see if it boots into safe mode..

Nope, same blank screen
Another g1 broken
My first g1 was the brown one, which i returned because of the silver keyboard. It was damm hard to read.
My second g1 was black, and it creaked like a little old lady. I quickly returned that one at the shop.
My third g1 now has a f-ed up screen. The lcd will not kick on, it did show 1/2 a f-ed up screen and now i cannot even see the boot screen. 20 reboots later and it just shows the back light.
I should have just kept the brown one, and most likely everything would have been fine.
I'm thinking im going to wait for another cool phone to come out.

wow bad karma... then again looking at your username... maybe your phone just didn't like sprint LOL jk jk I feel bad for your problems it seems like you are getting a lot of issues. Of course the screen creaking isn't that big of a deal you know. Most sliding phones have a little squeak you have to work out.
my screen doesnt creak, and I agree on the bronze version and the keypad
brownkin g1
just got a black replacement. So far it's rock solid.
crossing fingers and toes, and nose.

There's always got to be one person who gets bad batch of phones... glad it aint me
J/K! J/K!
But seriously, i'ts a gewd built phone, sad you got a bad few.
I'm fearing the worst, but I thought I'd come and see if anyone had the same problem or a possible fix...
Basically a few times I have absent mindedly put my phone in my back pocket and then sat on it! The screen has not broken or cracked, however when I have removed it from my pocket there is a dark black mark that gradually grows smaller and then disappears. I thought nothing more of it until the phone was rebooting the next time, when I noticed on the brilliant white HTC loading screen a small white spot. As I mentioned before, I've accidentally done this a few times and now have a number of these white spots that are only noticeable when the screen is white.
Is anyone familiar with this issue? And more importantly is it fixable?
cheers
ClownShoes
if it's LCD screen, could be permanent... I dunno.
could be damaged lcd
lucky u havnt cracked it when sitting on it like what i did to my ipod. but on my old omnia i also have bright white spot on the screen
I had the same problem and I think is not because of you sat on it. I got it too but without miss treat the phone, so I went to HTC and they changed a new lcd for me.
i have the same marks on my bootscreen also thought it comes from pressure..
If it is the LCD that is damaged, does anyone know if it will be expensive to get replaced? I've just bought the Galaxy S and this is killing my chances of selling my HD2 for much

depends on how you define "expensive".
yea, LCD is one of the most expensive components of a phone, I'm afraid.
Pressure damage
Yo Peeps
Same happened to mine. Back pocket idiocy.
I fly quite often and when the plane reaches 30000 feet the mark disappears completely. I tried opening mine but I't not worth the risk since the screen still works perfectly (touch as well) and I live in South Africa where the HD2 is barely available (I bought mine in Germany). Also when you twist the screen the mark grows/shrinks.
If anyone finds some smart solution please post. Although the phone works perfectly it's rather sad to have such a beautiful screen stained.
Ive also got this problem. I've had it for the last 2 months. I can only notice it on white screens and its barely noticable then. I can't be bothered sending it off because its so mild. I keep my phone in my front pocket and im miffed as to how it happened though.

There's a smart solution!
ive also got 2 white spots and its visible in white background.
Never dropped it or sat on it.
Its always taken care of and kept in leather case.
Like above poster, i cant be bothered sending it back as im fromi australia and bought it from Handtec UK.
i also have 3 white spots visible on white screens... its really anoying seing this white spots...
I had it on mine too!They replaced the LCD.I've waited 1 mounth.
Damaged
HTC state that my phone is damaged and I have to pay for repair
HTC want £178.68 to replace the MB and send it back to me.
I haven't paid yet as I spent £500 on the phone when it was launched.
When you pay that much you look after it.
It's in my jeans front pocket ( not tight ) most of the time, on a glass bedside table when home and if I take it into the bathroom I wrap it in a towel to ensure no moisture damage.
Look at my phone screen ( image was taken on a webcam not good quality )
The screen was like this from as early as I can remember but put up with it until now.
I have the same problem as U guys. those spots really annoy me. If you find out how to fix it it would be awesome. I woluld send it to htc but i bought mine on polish ebay and i found out that its blocked in uk (report as stolen and sell) i have got a buying proof but i dont know they will accept this. what you guys think?
Hello!
I have the same problems. A few white marks on the screen. I don't have warranty and i hope's to fix that problem by myself.If anyone have an answer please post it!!! Tnx guys, this is my first message on this forum.
Have the same.. It actually seems like the backlight led underneath the spot (on the bottom of the screen) is actually brighter than the rest..
I also started noticing a white spot on the middle of my screen as of a month now. Had the phone as of november last year, and really, this annoys me.
Nothing bad happened to my phone.
Does anyone know whether this is covered by warranty or not? I'd say once more white spots appear something must be wrong in the design/hardware of the phone and HTC should fix it. For free.
isnt it a dead pixel or something ?
like with computer/tv screens.
and a lcd screen with digitizer inc shipping costs something like 87 euro.
its pretty easy to replace by yourself if you use the step by step movie from HTC
ive done it last week and was working again in 20 minutes
(screen cracked btw)
Where do you buy the LCD screen with digitizer? Because now I have white spot marks + my touchscreen isn't even working. I think my digitizer is broken..
i have bought mine on ebay.com
most of them comming from hongkong , its not listed anymore in my ebay account because i bought it more then 60 days ago.
i know i was lazy to fit it earlyer haha
htc hd2 screen or htc hd2 lcd etc
you will find them, just watch for the shipping costs.
they have a custom to rip you off with it
goodluck
I've had my Epic for 2 weeks from the Sunday that just past. I'm starting to see some light scratches in the middle of my qwerty keyboard from sliding it open & closed. It starts (worst) at the #5 & goes down through the T, G, V, & Spacebar. Then from the #4 down to the comma & also #6 down to the spacebar.
So my questions are - Is this happening to anyone else? Is my phone defective and/or will Sprint or Samung warranty? Or do I have to just deal with it?
Any help or advise would be appreciated

Not happening to me.
Are u using a case? I hear some cases cause scratches. Or u may have a defective unit, my unit had a defective hinge that broke after a month os noral use n sprint fixxed it no prob. I have tep though so if u don't have tep and are out of 30 days they may charge u 35 bucks.
Sent from my Epic 4G
No I don't have a case & never used 1, it's just scratching from opening & closing the qwerty alone. I do have tep, but only had the phone for 16 days so I guess I'll just call Sprint 1st & see what they tell me
Thanks alot
Yeh, I have had 2 epics and my first one had an issue with scratches on the keyboard from sliding it out. My 2nd one hasn't had any issues like that though...
I ended up returning the first one because of a lot of screen wobble, well the 2nd one developed it in 3 weeks - month after getting it. It's definitely not a deal breaker but kind of sad since its so new.
I was recently looking into selling my 6P since I have my Pixel 2 XL on order. Happened to get an eBay email today about selling my phone so I thought why the hell not. As you can see form the link, you just simply select options from the list so you can either know what the average trending price of your phone is or get a cash offer from Quick Sale.
I was upset that I couldn't select 128GB option after selecting the gold color - thinking it was eBay's error. Well, I Google around and apparently it's a well known fact that Matte Gold was not offered in 128GB!
So how this happened, back in January, I was streaming music in my car when the music suddenly stopped. I grabbed my phone out of the center cubby and the phone was in the middle of rebooting. Well it freaking bootlooped until the battery died. When I got home I recharged it and got into Recovery and thought I'd wipe and reboot. No luck and reading the forms at the time, everyone said to RMA with either Google or Huawei.
Long story short, I RMA'd through Huawei and they said they replace or fix the phone. After about a week they said they repaired it and it was being shipped back. Back in my hand I started immediately caching my Google Play Music library to my phone and wondered where the hell all the extra space came from. I guess that to fix my phone they just replaced the main board that happened to have 128GB onboard instead of my original 64GB. I don't think it was a completely different handset since it came back same box I sent it in and just like my phone it was flawless except from some scuffs around the Type-C port.
TL;DR
Idk what the hell happened but I'm curious to know if I possibly have the only 128GB Matte Gold Nexus 6P in the world???
Cool Story Bro
Nice free upgrade!
I bought a used 128Gb silver 6P a few weeks ago, after my Pixel XL died.
It came with a gold tinted see-through case and I thought it looked pimp.
Come to find out, it's actually just a clear see-through case that yellowed with age.
I still think it's pimp. hahah

Lol, I've always worn a clear case on mine and I think I've had to buy a new one every 6 months because of that same tinting!
