Hello all,
My Touch HD slipped from my hands and ended-up flat on the screen... the screen does not have a scratch, the digitizer still works perfect, but the LCD underneath is broken, so I get a black screen. I can still access the Touch HD via my PC thanks to MyMobilier, though (so why do I complain, huh?!!)!
I ordered a replacement LCD in Hong-Kong (thanks ebay!), got the HTC Service Guide, managed to remove the antenna cover (tough!) and dismantle the whole thing. But NOW I AM STUCK with the 'bezel', i.e. the cover, screen, digitizer, LCD, and metal plate with bolts all apparently glued together.
Anyone faced the same problem? Anyone knows how to separate the LCD from the screen and digitizer?
Cheers,
FroggyZ

Anyone can help with this???
Hello guys. What i did was stupid but now it's too late,so i want to sare with you so no one does the same mystake like i did and maybe someone can tell me if it can be repaired.So what i did i've peal off the first layer of the touchscreen.First time when i put the first layer back to the screen every thing was alright,but because i had some dust between the plastic layer and the screen i had reapeted the process again and after that the touchscreen wasn't working,i mean i have the image but no touch control of the phone.i realised that there are 4 contacts(i don't know how to name them) that pass electric impulse between the plastic and the touchscreen and by preasing that area i discovered that i got again control of the screen but in sort time even if i pressed that area no touchcontrol.
Does anyone know if i can get touch control of my tattoo screen?
replace the digitizer
Hey if you haven't fixed your problem yet, you can buy a digitizer and replace the old one. You can get one for $15.

If there a teardown guide for the Wildfire? I'm planning on replacing the fascia to a black or white one
I googled it and I found the EVO and the Desire...
Thanks.

It's what I was thinking but I'm not too sure...
I just did a screen replacement on a German Wildfire today, I used a desire guide briefly - but it was pretty simple. 8 screws and 3 ribbons in total isn't to bad for a full teardown.
Here's the brief:
1) remove back battery cover
2) remove battery, MicroSD, and SIM
3) remove 4 corner star screws
4) remove 2 philips screws from right hand rail (sim card side)
5) Unclip bottom bracket and remove
6) Unclip plastic back from both side rails and remove
7) Remove 2 philips screws from bottom right and top left of breadboard
8) Disconnect haptic feedback ribbon from bottom left by lifting the black lever and sliding out the ribbon (very narrow ribbon)
9) Disconnect screen and touch screen ribbons on right hand edge by lifting them up (they're snap-ons)
10) Lift volume board up from between main bread board and volume button
11) remove breadboard from front housing
12) Peel back the bottom ribbon from the back of the screen (it's glued on with light adhesive)
13) Lift up bottom corner of screen and remove screen from front housing
in the end you should have these pieces:
Front housing
Screen
Bread Board
Back Housing
Bottom Plastic Clip
Back cover
2 Small philips Screws (breadboard)
2 large philips screws (back housing right hand edge)
4 large star screws (back housing corners)
Sorry, I literally just finished this an hour ago. Hope this helps.
i tear-down my wildfire like SophT. my big problem is now, to put the new digitizer in the phone. the old was glued and now i didn't have any idea to fix the new in the phone. have anyone an idea ?!
i think i destroyed the new display. on both sides of the new one were a protective sheet. i removed both, the phone works perfectly, but there is no possibility to use the touchscreen. There are no inputs possible. Have I destroyed with the removal of the film, the new display?

I'm okay with this and I think it's hilarious.
Hi guys,
What could be the possible reasons for a touchscreen and the capacitive buttons to stop working?
I purchased my Huawei U8800 only very recently but it was purchased 2nd hand. The phone came pre-installed with a custom rom, which is this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481168
I've had very minimal use of it ever since I received it, due to the reason that I have exams as I'm an UNI student. Therefore, I haven't modified the phone in any way, i.e I have not overclocked it or flashed a different kernel or recovery etc. The only thing I've done is installed GO SMS PRO and used it for txting and calling, that's it.
At first, everything seems to work fine. But on my 2nd day of use, the touchscreen started acting weird, where the right hand side of the screen stops working for no reason, as well as the 2 capacitive buttons on the right half of the screen (HOME and SEARCH). Then after a while, the BACK capacitive button on the left half of the screen stopped working, and eventually all 4 capacitive buttons and the entire screen stopped working.
The phone still turns on, but the entire screen doesn't pick up any finger input and there isn't any haptic feedback or vibration from the capacitive buttons. When I boot into the recovery, this is also the same.
So I contacted the seller about this, and he advised me to flash the Cyanogenmod 7.2 rom to see if this fixes the problem. It didn't, the touchscreen still doesn't work.
I'm wondering if this is related to the digitizer, which is the part of the phone that sense your finger inputs? If not, what are the other parts of the phone that could relate to the capacitive buttons and touch screen?
Definately a digitizer problem. The capacitive buttons are part of the touch screen, the touch screen is extended over the bottom of the display.
You should buy a new one from eBay or similar. If you want to buy it with a frame (black part on the front), you will have to open your phone to see if the front speaker is big or small. There are two types of front speakers and they are not cross-compatible. If you just want to buy the digitizer, you will have to remove the old digitizer from it's frame and add some glue on the new one to make sure it won't stick out.
If you don't want to mess with your phone, I am sure there are paid services that will do it for you, since replacing the digitizer is fairly easy.

thanks for your reply mate!
Ok so I've found this one here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-To...Glass-For-Huawei-U8800-Ideos-X5-/170721993712
Since it says it's "original", I don't have to worry about the speaker problem right?

They are selling the digitizer, so there will be no problems as it's only the digitizer glass and not the frame around it. The frame itself is holding the digitizer and the speaker so that's why there may be issues when buying the front cover.
If you need a disassembly tutorial, check my Mediafire (signature) -> Documents -> U8800 Basic Maintenance Manual. It's the official disassembly guide so you can be sure you are doing it right .

Wait, that doesn't have the frame around it? I thought the black part surrounding the glass is the frame? I'm confused.......
I just want something that looks exactly like shown in that Ebay listing photo, where it has that bit of the connector part that you push into the motherboard (or whatever it's called on the phone).

On your listing, it does not have frame.
If it's without frame, it is simply the front glass with connector. If it is with the frame, it has the black curve too (and speaker with led).
See this:
Without frame.
With frame.
Hope it makes sense now

Yeah, but not much. Maybe you don't need to add any glue at all, the old one might hold it too.

hi blefish
just posted a similar question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39201328#post39201328
is it the same solution? (the 4 buttons at the bottom do not work as well as the lower half of screen)
my speaker is 15 mm by 5 mm long (i looked inside). is it big or small?
all the ebay posts do not mention a frame - i will be happy not to mess with the glue
thanks

Hi guys,
I did have the same problem with a Huawei G 510. Digitizer broken and replaced, but still not working.
I have no action on screen. It lits but i can't press any button. Either the 3 buttons are working.
Checked the plug, checked some voltage in the pins.
Any other ideas ?
Thanks in advance,
Miltos Matt
Just slipped out of my pocket and the transparent plastic that sits overtop the screen shattered. Couple questions
(1) Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement? Can't find any options. Obviously sending it to yotaphone for repair greater than the cost of a new phone doesn't make any sense.
(2) If I remove the cracked plastic, will the epaper screen and digitizer still work?
Hi,
As far as I know, the glass is fixed to the e-ink display, so you'll need to replace both. It can be found around 60USD on AliExpress for instance.
You'll find two videos showing how to open the Yotaphone 2 on YouTube. The process is quite easy: remove a screw next to the loudspeaker at the bottom of the phone (hidden under a cover), unclip the e-ink screen, disconnect two connectors and that's it.
