I think i broked my display today. It is all just purple and gray lines when display is turned on and few one looking like cracks. When i turn off the display i do not see anything like that. I wonder is it physical or there is some hope left?
sounds like you broke the actual lcd display, and not the glass front.
All the usual suggestions, try a hard reset then different rom of course, just in case it is software, but it doesnt sound good.
Broke my glass (not the lcd, phew) saturday night just gone gutted. Theyre only £35 or so, tho, so i think im gonna have a go at changing it myself. I think the lcd's are about the same but its kinda hard to tell which is which on ebay.i
How much is new lcd? I am asumming they will rip me off if i send it in official htc service?
couldnt say. i tried speaking to O2 about a paid repair, they just spieled teh usual guff, no info. not contacted htc directly yet.
As for price, its hard to tell, do a search on ebay, and i found lcd for 30 something, and glass/digitizer for 30 something, but i also saw lcd for 120 or so, so maybe teh one i saw was the worng item, heh, who knows. Not had a proper indepth look yet, though.
I will try to contact my official service in Croatia so I will tell the price or i will try with ebay.
my hd2 looks so sad with selotape protecting the cracks. ;(
I had to get a dropped HD2 repaired the other day..
was charged $368 to replace the cracked glass by the Australian authorized HTC repairer , phone was still functioning.
LCD complete with the digitizer (touchscreen) glass is about $250 itself. It is almost impossible to change the LCD separately from "digitizer" even in service lab.
JFYI, cnn.cn/shop/htc-hd2-c-277_948.html here it is.
That is too expansive. I dont really now right now what to do ,should i repair it or not
They said at my offical service(in Croatia) that it is something about 240 $ . They said that you cant buy lcd without touchscreen (probably digitizer? )..
Will this work?
http://cgi.ebay.com/US-LCD-DISPLAY-...872974?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf0f17ece
that's the one,(unless you have a tmous)
well, it should be, insert usual "its not my fault if its wrong" get out clause here.
Ok. And what about digitezer (or what ever it is called) thing ? Dont I need that too?
for that price you can buy a new hd2...lol

didnt you say touch still works? and screen isnt cracked? so no, BUT, the digi/screen and teh lcd are bonded together, and you gotta bake them for 10 mins at 50 deg to seperate them, , and so how do we bond them back together,,, heh. in which case a whole lcd/digi/glass would be best, but i bet theyre expensive. (Thats how theyd do it at htc repairs, just swap out teh whole thing as a single item)
I would look for a used hd2 to buy. Might be cheaper.
waiting for an apple fan boy to come along and say "htc sux and apple is the best ever" LOL
ive seen videos of people repairing their own cracked screens. Personally I would NOT do it for myself. I would rather get a new HD2 or an entirely different phone. Thats why i keep my previous phone(s) as backups in case of such event!
This is how it looks:

Hi guys, I cracked my screen today, I was wondering which one will save me more money? ordering a new screen and fitting it my self or going down to a phone shop and get it done?
Where is the cheapest place to get a replacement screen from (in the uk)
Thanks.

I think it was user ygeller that reported he could only find two places in UK that would replace screen at £150. In which case cheaper/but possibly riskier to do it yourself.

Great, so my phone is basically a door stop untill i can get it fixed, im sure not going to try and get HTC to fix it 150 is crazy, i think i will buy a screen somewhere and do it my self, after all i did manage to mod my xbox 360 up with neon lights
Any direct links to good sites that sells screens as a low price?
Cheers.

Took it to carphonewarehouse, they charged me £40 for replacment, they said if it cost more then they would pay the difference on top of the 40, good deal eh?
40 is a pretty good deal! My digitizer was going out so I bought a new one, anyone know how hard it is to replace? I already took the phone apart and the screen is off. How do I take the digitizer off?

Very simply put it converts the screen taps from the screen into an electrical signal equivalent to a "grid reference" signal based on xy axes.

Be careful with the previous reply web link. I had a virus warning popup when I clicked on it. Don't let it happen to you.
Not that it helps you guys in the UK, but I got a screen/digitizer from a seller on eBay in the US for 89 USD.
My digitizer is cracked, but the LCD is fine it's a pain to use in this condition but it gets me by.
I will try to do the screen swap tommorow.
Just got done with the replacement. Wasn't that bad at all. I would've been done in about 20 minutes, but I had a dreaded white screen with no display that freaked me out. Then I remembered a connector not seeming to fit correctly.
Disassembled and reassembled and I am back in business.
For future reference, the bottom connector in this picture:
You need to make sure sits correctly.
Here is the auction for the screen I got from a seller in California.

Today I broke my HD2 screen
Anyone knows if are outside guides to change the screen like hd2 official service guides and any shop that sell "cheap" (compared to official service) hd2 screens?
thanks for all
Sorry for your broken HD2...
May I ask, how did you manage to break it? I'm asking because it might give us a sense on how fragile these things are.
Sorry for your HD2.
Anyway, how you broke it?
WOW!How did you did that?
Sorry for your screen!

I use the phone as an alarm clock.
When sounded, I took it to shut it down and I dropped into bed. When going to pick it up accidentally leaned on the screen by making some pressure and I broke it

Damn! I'm sure it shouldn't be too hard to replace, but if you don't think you can do it yourself better get someone else to do it! It will end up being cheaper than having to replace the whole phone
Hmmm . . .

With most phones the screen is separate from the main board and chipsets etc. As far as I am aware usually the screen will be screwed in but not embedded into it. Though I could be wrong!!..... Just hoping to give some optimism
The screen is replaceable. You're not so lucky, man
Well, seeing this image actually hurts directly to my heart!
Anyway, search on eBay, but I don't think that there is any replacement part as the phone is completely new.
I did the same just now, except it's not the actual glass that's broken but it looks like the screen underneath. That however is completely shot, again, anybody know if it's possible to replace this?
And for those interested, pictures.
Result after dropping from about chest hight on the ground.

Repost, sorry
Mine's back with the service repair centre in the UK for a cracked screen and have just had my quote for repair £118.
No one else seems to have the spares.
The screen itself and surround was quoted at £78 labour £22, and the rest is for delivery.
The service centre isn't the quickest it's taken them a week from receiving the phone to give me a quote and then it's 5 days after you pay for them to fix the phone and test the software.
Luckily the insurance is paying
i can't believe!!!!!
i cracked my screen too!!
it falls down from 50 centimeters and the glass cracked in 1000 pieces!! i'll post the picture soon.
tomorrow i'm going to call the italian call center ..
Ouch!
Got my HD2 yesterday, now it has a hairline crack in the screen about 1cm long - don't know how - it's only been in a jacket pocket and car cradle.
Screen too weak?
Edit: O2 shop said it's a scratch not a crack - so much for scratch resistant glass.

Found this website that sells spare parts incase you damaged your epic. I myself was looking for a replacement for the rim around the screen as it fell out from my hoodie pocket into the street and the rim was dented. Phone works ok but the dent is an eye sore...lol. anyways here's the link : http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Epic-4G-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6425.htm
Cool. Nice find. I always try to stick with OEM much as I can.
Great find
Supposing I keep this puppy as long as I kept my HTC Vogue, this will really come in handy. Thanks for passing this one along to everyone.
neato, must keep this one
No prob guys, hope it help anyone that has isues with hardware.

They are completely out of stock and might not even get it ever as they said it is hard to get. Anyone know where I can get one? Please!
Ughhh why do they have a minimum order?
Also, question about the digitizer + LCD replacement. Do you only need to buy the digitizer + LCD combo or do you also need to buy the front housing too?

The one I ordered is seen here, http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-epic-c-26_1118.html - I bought mine from cnn.cn about 3 months ago and it was $75, not this $120 crap, terrible.
it is the same part as your website (cnn.cn, when I ordered my screen from them, had a LOT MORE Epic4g parts). What I got in the mail was a NOT CRACKED and NOT BROKEN equivalent of my old one which is this:

The link in the OP has a loudspeaker for sale. A little note: if anyone believes they have a bad antenna, the loudspeaker contains part of it, replacing it has the potential to solve the issue.
Also, I'm a coporate Sprint tech. If anyone has any issues or needs advice or a helping hand with the guts of their epic, I'm always available.

Could someone tell me what their price on the LCD and digitizer is for the Epic? Don't have time to register atm =/
They are whole sellers so you may have to buy parts in bulk in order to get stuff from them, I see that even to create an account you need to get it "approved"
But great find man!

Thanks but it requires 5 quantity purchase minimum and I only need 1 external loudspeaker. There was one selling on EBay but no longer. I am in India and bought the phone online so cannot claim warranty repairs.

no you need to buy the one that includes the lcd, it's practically impossible to replace only the digitizer alone and you will see this when you replace your screen I should know because I've done so already (bought only digitizer then replacing broke lcd and had to buy lcd+digitizer)

Is it easy to DIY?
I'm debating whether I should send my unit to LG for replacement, which probably costs $150-$200 or buy the lcd+digitizer on the market (costs around $130-$140 I believe) and do it at home. Don't know if it worth the risk.
Well if you want to know the process there are video tutorial on YouTube that you can watch and if it looks like you can do it yourself then go for it, I did it myself the first time and it wasn't difficult but I have experience in doing this from previous devices

Hey @XxZombiePikachu
I have also cracked my screen - single crack, but digitizer stopped working in lower half of the screen (where crack is).
I have a question WHICH lcd/digitizer/glass did you buy (from whom), and is the LCD the same quality as the original?
For me it is very important to have OEM LG screen - I love the G2 screen and don't want to buy some Chinese knock-off.
Is the brightness same as original???
Please tell. Thanks!

well I had bought it on ebay from power_gamer_usa1, it turned out to be just like original it felt/looked the same and brightness functioned like it should(make sure you buy lcd+digitizer together I know you can buy separate digitizer but it is not worth it the replacement process is far too difficult and you will end up breaking the original lcd and will need to buy another replacement take my word because this was my mistake and I have a lot of experience it taking apart electronics), but of course when buying from ebay you have to be careful and I had just bought one that had original logos/mentioned it was oem and took a risk; have been satisfied with it since then(I bought in December 2013)
i cracked my nexus 4 a few weeks ago it took a 4-6 feet drop into pavement/rocks,the screen became unresponsive and wouln't recognize touch i was going to send it to get it fixed but the guy wanted 200 $ to fix it so i said ill think about it . I went online and bought a Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 but im getting tired of it since its pretty low on development so i want to go back to my mako , and i thought i would try to fix it myself since i got nothing to loose would this screen i found on ebay work:

That's the digitizer. The screen (LCD) is underneath the digitizer. I recommend buying a screen assembly rather than just the digitizer. Replacing the digitizer is not a simple task, and it's very easy to damage the LCD (if it's not damaged already) when separating the broken digitizer from it. A screen assembly can be had for about $45 USD, or about $60 for the entire front piece including a new bezel. I went with the entire assembly and bezel since it's all put together and there's less things to accidentally screw up.

My mistake. That's the screen assembly. Sorry, I had just woken up and was still rather hung over. That part shouldn't cost you more than $45 or so. Personally though, I'd still recommend getting the assembly/bezel combo, since it's just a swap rather than pulling apart glued pieces (plus it's a brand new bezel without the dings and scratches). Your choice though.

Where are you finding it that cheap? The cheapest I can find is ~$40 from China or Singapore, or ~$45 from a US seller. But for $30, I say go for it!
