Hey guys.
Im asking this for my mother, who stupidly put her wildfire through the washing machine.
Where can I get hold of a new screen and digitiser?
Or would we be better of letting Tmobile/HTC fixing it and paying the price?
Hmmm, did u find the parts that u need on the market??? If u found them and want to save some money this is what u should do, buy the parts and go to a GSM service, but first ask if they fix HTC Wildfire's.
If you have enough money and dont wanna save some go directly to Tmobile/HTC and tell them to fix it.
I dont know what i would do if this happens to me cuz is very hard to find Htc parts around here (Romania).
Good luck!
Put it in rice for 48 hours
I'd let htc fix it

hey guys, i have a big problem. the center of my MDA's screen will not work. I noticed this while playing warfare incorporated.... I have re-flashed it and it goes to the align screen step and obviously i cant get past this point.........
Any ideas, im sure its hardware but what would make just the center die?
i was just thinking of selling my phone (work provides free crackberry) and this happens.... anyone want an MDA with a (partially) bad touchscreen?
please let me know any ideas you may have.
Thanks guys
Try this...
slide the stylus all around the edges of the screen. I dunno why, but that usually works.
It kinda sounds like your touch screen is going bad. It can be replaced, and there nt to expensive. Try ebay!
Hi Tsumi,
I am also having this issue with a UK XDA Mini S that is about 13 months old.
If I go into 'Notes' and draw Horizontal straight lines across the screen they are straight at the top and bottom but curve around the middle of the screen, very annoying. Brilliant phone apart from that.
no go
i tried the "around the screen" thing and that didnt work.... i think i may just have to sell it. I dont want to replace the screen b/c thats just more money spent on a phone im going to sell..... I hate to do it, I love this phone, it has saved me from boredom soooo many times.... (sniff) ill miss it.
Its like 14 bucks for a new digitizer. I am sure that it will be more than a 14 buck difference in sale price if you fixed it.

im looking for someone to direct me to a place where i can get parts for my Wizard..
I dropped my phone the other day, and the power button seems to have broken off the circuit board, this has happened before as well i just resoldered itmyself, but it has come to the point where the leads are about to fall off the switch..
And recently i also ended up breaking the rocker switch thats required to adjust volume on the phone and the speaker.
I need a place to get those 2 switches.. anyone have any idea where to look!!
thought about a new phone, but i just cant live without a touch screen and keyboard now i want my wizard back up and working
Thanks
First...help save my phone is the LAST thing you want to type if you want help. We will post simply to tell you to read the damned stickies. I am assuming then, that your phone was not insured. If it was in fact insured, it probably can be replaced using insurance, or I'd suggest ebay or craig's list. Good luck finding parts.
whoa sorry man.. i was just having a little fun.. didn't mean to be demanding there or anything..
I did have a look in some of the stickies, and faqs infact i posted in the buy sell trade broken thread too.. i thought id just ask again if anyone has had any luck buying parts from other sources..
Yes it is not insured..
and HTC america doesnt seem to have the parts.
that's all no need to get angry.. i apologize for my topic
I apologize...I was not angry, I simply was trying to say that we get so many "help..." threads, that often they get passed over, or looked at simply for us to say RTF stickies. I think you will get a better chance of help for parts if you topic'd it as such.
I still think that barring the busted wiz thread, ebay or craig's list would be your best bet. Also, you may check HoFo...they used to have a thread for folks selling busted devices.
oh ok... sorry about that then
yeah ive ben making the nightly rounds on hofo, craigs rfd, ebay not much luck the ones people are selling are working condition lol and a good chunk of change. I guess ill keep scouring.. if i find nothing i might just head over to a few small electronic shops and se if i can find a different switch to replace it with..
honeslty i was checking out a few other phones, and for those on a budget, feature wise you just cant beat the wizard. i dont think i could ever go back to a non touch screen phone.
dint want to turn on... i though it was the battery that had bad contact with the phone for some reason.. my dad tried to move it up and down to c if that would fix it and it actually did...
do i go to sprint to tell them? i did not remove the battery again and i just moved my phone alot to make sure it was in place and it was not gonna disconnect during the day
but still should i?
what would happen?
i dont want a diamond.. at least not diamond1
would i get a free fix i have the protection plan 7$
thanks
Yeah you'll most likely get the same phone. This since it does not seem to be an issue from damage should be free unless your phone is totally beat up . Hope this helps
Take it in to Sprint. They will give you a new phone. Most likely it will be the same. They have Vogues stock-piled from the sounds of it. If they do give you the Crapmond, you have the option to keep your old phone. I have the same insurance as you and have had to replace my Touch twice.
thanks alot for the answers ...my dad used his techines and fixed it lol just moved the battery..aparently it has bad contact with the phone....if it happens again ill go to sprint
And most probably the XDA HD2 forum
I recently dropped my HD2 in the ground, resulting in a broken lcd AND digitizer
I saw the post where one of the members here changed it, and it contained links to official assemble/disassemble videos. I got my hopes up,and searched around for a replacement lcm. I was recommended [email protected] I bought one, and watched all the material in the post I found. I watched it, watched it again...and than again. I was ready to change it and restore my HD2 to it's glory.
all done and.....wtf, touch does not work..... after opening it again I can see I manage to tear the ribboncable from the digitized to the LCD I can't afford to buy another replacement LCM... So this is goodbye (probably)...and back to my trusty old Hero...
Thanks for listening
!!!!! why did you have to do it all by ur self u should have bought the lcm module an given it to some comp engineer to do it for u!!! anyways how did u manage to seperate it from the housing (i couldnt do it till now i know i know im a Hippocrit )
well I have made phone repairs earlier with self-bought parts, and I have a degree in service electronics. The place the cable is torn, is where it's soldered to the lcd/IC. Tried re-soldering it, but for some reason the the solder will not stick.
But I think I will save money for a month or two and buy a Desire HD or a Incredible S

Welcome,
Some time ago, glass on my screen crashed during drop phone on the street, touch panel still works, but anyway it does not look preety good, now my question is how much is the cost of new screen, and it is possible to replace it by myself?
It costs around 50$ depending on where you get it.I suggest you look for a seller in aliexpress with many diamonds or crowns or whatever. And here is a video on how to replace it. If you got 2 left hands and sausage fingers don`t try to do it yourself
Thanks mate for this reply, as i see it looks pretty simple to do, but when ill buy it i will also get some tools with it? I really dont want to do it by myself, but here in Poland we dont have even one Gionee service, and "other" services dont want to replace it, becouse they dont have parts and dont know "technology" of this device, well just a bit wierd, anyway i just have to do it by myself.
Thanks
No idea if it comes with the tools havent bought one myself i was just checking the prices as i broke mine too.
Okey, but if you can wrote with what tools did u removed old screen, and did you done it by yourself?
