OK i just replaced the LCD on my HD2 and before i replaced the digitizer worked just fine no issues there or with anything else with the phone. Now after i replaced the LCD now the digitizer doesn't work. I went back to the placed where i purchased the LCD and they said that the digitizer is bad and not the LCD that they sold me. i thought maybe that the LCD might be bad cause that is where the digitizer plugs in to. So do think the guy is correct and the digitizer is bad and that i should buy the digitizer from him or do you think that it is a possibility that the LCD could be bad?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Hey all,
Had my HD2 for about 3 weeks now, while walking yesterday I tripped and fell, this caused the digitizer to break. I have contacted HTC on a quote for repair. Seeing as they quoted 200 euros, I can't afford to have it fixed. I do have the skills myself to fix the device, all I need is a replacement digitizer. After many hours searching I have yet to find one on sale.
The LCD panel underneath is fine it's just the digitizer that has been shattered. Stunningly it does still responds to input, but having small shards of glass in my fingers isn't ideal.
Can anybody here help?
Thanks in advance,

I have been able to find digitizers for other models from HTC on ebay.
But currently there isn't anybody offering a spare HD2 digitizer, Does anybody know how I may be able to get my hands on one?
I have vacuum packed my HD2 for now to stop corrosion. Hopefully I can find a replacement part soon.
Thanks for reading,

Hi! How did you manage to seperate the digitizer from the lcd without crushing the lcd?? I tried and now my lcd is useless I've found a new digitizer on ebay, but not the lcd screen, and I need both.. Do you know where I can find a new one??
Success on replacing the cracked digitizer, and now these lines appeared once I finished replacing the old digitizer
And how much replacement monitor?
I'm guessing / hoping that it isn't a bad LCD, but just a bad connection. If you're lucky you just didn't hook it back up completely. More likely though, you damaged the LCD when you pried the glass off it. I'd go ahead and tear it down to check connections though and then order a new LCD for it. Sometimes you can get damaged HD2's on Craigslist for about $50 and then harvest parts off it. Good luck. The glued together screen is one of the big downfalls of these guys.
Recently, my son dropped my HTC HD2(Europe/Greece version). The result was a broken screen. As I found out later, only the cover glass(digitizer) was broken and the LCD was OK.It even worked over the broken glass but it was dangerous to cut yourself anytime.
I looked in ebay and found a new digitizer at about $15. I also found a guide on youtube on how to open the HD2 and replace the digitizer. I followed all this steps (difficult and tricky but possible) just to find out that the ribbon cable of the old digitizer was welded(soldered) on the LCD. I found out after that, that there are 2 types of HD2. The one like mine and the (I think) T-mobile version which is with a connector.
I had no luck trying to mannually solder the ribbon cable on the LCD. I am not so good on that.
The next is to order a preassembled LCD with a digitizer. It costs about $40-$70 on ebay. It is a litle expensive, so I 'I try to keep it safe. Has anyone else experienced this situation? Are there different types of LCD as it is for the Digitizer?
Can anyone help me on making a corect decision?
Thank you

You should buy The T8585 model.
Don't worry if Tmobile is written on the screen.

Hi, I have dropped my phone a while ago but only the digitizer was damaged. Today, I disassembled my digitizer using a heat gun but my LCD now is messed up (picture in the attachment). Do I need to buy a brand new LCD or is there any way to fix it?

unless one of the lcd cables got damaged/loose then you will need to replace the screen
Hi All,
I have inherited a Nexus 4 and I am about to do some repairs on it to get it back to new. It looks like the digitizer is faulty as you can see attached.
On the bottom there is a box that does not seem to register anything. Am I correct in thinking this is the digitizer that is broken? I will probably replace the whole LCD at the same time as it is too much of a hassle from the looks of it to replace the digitizer alone. It looks like I will replace the power and volume buttons whilst it is open at the same time.
Can I get a confirmation that you would agree this is a digitizer fault or something else?
Thanks!

Alright, Thanks! I will order one now and get it replaced.
Have the same issue
On my mako I have the same box, on the middle of the screen. In previous posts I asked what it could be and eliminated everything through to the digitizer.
Can you update when you made the repairs if it was indeed the digitizer and how much did it cost to repair it?
I still have the issue but fixing it didn't seem worth the money on the parts.

Replacing the LCD and digitizer fixed it.
I bought this part to replace the entire thing: https://www.replacebase.co.uk/lg-ne...-screen-with-chassis-and-bezel-original-5043/
