I have broken only the glass and now after 2 months the prentive arrived for change the glass and the display the preventive is about 288 euro !!!!!!
i wanto to say to all :
ATTENTION to fall down the mobile phone .
If you just broke the glass, not the screen underneath, you should be able to just get a kit to replace the digitizer.
Apparently you can get them on eBay for as little as $70.
i know i saw it .. but i think that i can lose the warranty

so the day finally arrived, i dropped my HD while wasted in a bar..
the damage is not so bad in my opinion. digitizer and lcd work perfectly! though the bezel is a little scratched near the stylus storage.. so my question is if its possible to replace ONLY the bezel, as according to my research, i found out that the bezel/digitizer/lcd is sold as one component and to replace just the bezel, well i gotta get the whole thing, thus costing about half of the phone
any ideas out there? or some help?? would be greatly appreciated as i wish to only replace the bezel (by myself if it can be done) as i read the service manual and apparently to remove the bezel alone is apparently quite a mission..
Hi.
why dont you replace te entire housing.You can find it on ebay for 25 euros.
And it will be like new?

The digitizer and bezel isn't expensive if that's your only option.
hi all,
today i suddenly dropped my hd2 during my daily commuting out of my shirt pocket when i bent doen to pick sumthing up...even thgh it was in the pouch,,,the inside lcd screen developed a long crack across the upper face ..thgh it is visble only on dark screen prominently..
worse is the touch functions have suddenly stopped responding..i can not access my phien features by touch as nothing happens..
screen is stuck in unlock screen..cannot slide across to unock
tried soft/hard reset, practically everthing
its just 20 days old for gods sake,,wh culd be the matter
I feel for you ... is it insured?
no..will warranty cover that,,the i can recive phone calls fine....thru buttons only...is there any way to remove that lock screen so at least i can access function thru keys
Even so, you can't do much with those buttons alone. But sounds like you only broke the digitizer. It costs much lesser than the LCD. You may want to try fix it yourself.
Sorry to hear this chap. If it's not insured (I don't understand why if it's not) then your best bet is to send it back to HTC to get it repaired.
You must be gutted.

You can Insure your phone my friend.. check this

From what I know..
National Insurance Company, Oriental Insurance Company, New India Assurance Company and United India Insurance Company cover mobile phone insurance. They fix compensation equivalent to cost of replacement by new mobile of same specifications and capacity, including all taxes and duties.
Hope this helps..

hi all..my dealer says he had forwarded hd2 to htc service center and since its a new model the screen replacement is not avalible..he said they quoted estimated price of 20 thousand for the screen.obnoxious..thts 400 dollars!!!
i searched ebay and found digisters selling for about 60 dollars..
my question is shuld i go ahead and buy .what is exctly a digitiser ,,
i dont want to find out after spending the money that its not a digitser problem,,is there nyway to acertain its digitser proble..i no more trust my dealer
400 dollars? that is half a hd2.
the upper layer of the screen is afaik the digitizer.
touchscreen is built of two elements. the lcd and the digitizer.
the digitizer is for handling touch. that may be the part which cracked and is not responding now.
however I am not sure if it's easy to replace the digitizer since you must seperate the lcd and digitizer which are tied closely together. maybe someone experienced here on xda knows how.
ummmm..so u mean basicslly there are 3 components
1..outer most glass which we touch pysically
2..digitser which is embeded on
3 lcd screen
is the digitiser made up of plastic material which is crackable or in my case lcd whihc is 3rd layer has cracked while digitser is intact
unfortunatly cannt post snaps as the instrument is with dealer..
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.

So I cracked the screen on my vibrant, where can I get a replacement from a reliable place? It's just the gorilla glass part, everything else is fine.
Thanks
Samsung.
Its the only place your going to get a true replacement....everyone else sells lcd...i do believe
Damn, howd you do that?
No cheap parts on ebay:

If its over $100, you are probably better off finding a replacement phone on Craigslist.
While I feel bad for you cracking I'm curious as to how the heck you pulled it off? I've dropped the hell out of mine on face first on just about everything and hav only one scuff on the screen... my heart hurts for you
Well, i cracked mine and replaced it. first for those who cant understand how a gorila glass can crack :
Mine scaped from my hand and hit the floor from above 1 meter, the screen cracked entirely. the problem is that the glass is virtualy impossible to crack if you hit in the middle of it, but, if you hit the CORNER with enough power, it will be gone.
You have two choices : replace ONLY the glass, would cost 20 usd, but its almost impossible to do it at home withtout the right tools, or you can buy the full display (screen_digitizer) for about 140 usd. for how to replace it, search youtube for : vibrant repair.
hi,
my desire hd fall on the floor and the touchscreen is cracked at the bottom (lcd display is still ok).
so what to do? buy a touchscreen for about ~40-50$ at ebay and replace it? (is it difficult for somebody who never did it? is there a manual?
pay 200$ for repair is extremly expensive for a glass but the advantage is you get gusrantee...
somebody who has experience in this problem?
thx in advance for help
I did it on my "old" Dell Streak 5...
no problems... http://android.modaco.com/topic/331525-morning-face-plant/
but if i get it right... after you repaired it the lcd was completly broken too after some time?
btw do you need special equipment to replace the digitizer/tochscreen?
YouTube: [`htc desire hd replace screen'] = List
1. `HTC Desire HD Disassembly Video'
...
thx for the video but i found this already.
its a complete disassembly of the htc desire hd (not for touchscreen replacement). if THIS is really necessary to change the digitizer.... no chance... found some other videos who are easier but not for desire hd....
i asked a local smartphone repair shop and they submit that a digitizer replacement is not possible because the LCD is glued with the digitizer (touchscreen). so i should buy a complete replacement including the LCD Screen which is really expensive....
is this true?
No

I'm not sure if these will help you.

You probably saw them.
trust me you don't want to f..k with it: the digitalizer is glued to lcd and lcd is glued to mettar board and I have no idea what kind of damn glue is that it is so hard to rip it apart and when you do it is even harder to fit it all back in, trust me take it to a service shop here in croatia it is around 100 euros to change both lcd and touch digitalizer i'm sure that you can find cheaper service
fu...ked up my desire hd tryng to do that
thx bruno this helped me alot. if its glued i will do that and keep my guarantee.
but anyway 3.5 feet fall = 120-140 € is extremly hard. i will never ever buy a smartphone like that again without an insurance. if you think back to the good old nokia phones who can fall 300 times on the floor without any scratch...... and if they have any scratch buy a express on cover for 5$
