Well, I'm about to buy a HTC HD2 (the t-mobile version) to repair it, (like a hobby thing), anyway, the phone seems to have the LCD broken, the digitizer seems ok (but as far as I know they aren't expensives, like U$S 15), So here are the questions:
I want to buy the LCD replacement, but I'm not sure which one (I know I have to buy the T-mobile version) but some seems to require soldering a connector, and others don't, also do I need special tools for opening the cellphone? Is there any guide on the internet that you could recommend me? and how much should I paid for the Lcd? any other advice? Thanks!
edit: I forgot the [Q] on the title.. can't edit it, sry I'm new
you can probably open it without using special tools, altough you will need T9 screw drive if im correct, here's a video of official assembly/disassembly video leaked by HTC. pocketnow[dot]com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked
LCD and digitizer is glued together, theres a video there showing how to take it apart i think.
Good Luck!

Well, thanks for the warm welcome! and about the price to pay for the screen + digitalizer? 80 U$S is alright? (if, it can be told) and thanks again for the info, in a few months I'll post some before and after screens

Do not open new threads since it makes it hard to find stuff for everyone else. For the future, use this site's search function, the Wiki, Google, Yahoo, or whatever your heart feels at ease with. All in all, "Search Before You Post. And If You DO Need To Post, Do It In The Right Thread!"

hey no problem...I do understand..as many of us do...however that being said...I also can relate to "clogged forum syndrome" and noob "bottle necking"....to some people what you did amounts to walking into a building full of restrooms and immediately you ask which one is the mens room?......flaming is a way of bashing someone online for doing or not doing something that should be obvious to most....there are some who would essentially light you up for the question you posted because there is a seperate thread for wing roms and it appears you did not look for or at it before asking....still if you have never been to the thread and dont know exactly how to search how would you know?.....so take this info with a grain of salt and remember how it feels even after you've been here a while....and perhaps you'll get to explain to the next noob how it goes in the community....all good hope you found what you're seeking......
try google!

Don't follow that previous link in this thread. That was for HTC Wings, which is completely different than the T-Mobile Wing. What you want is the HTC Herald forums (Herald is the manufacturer codename for the Wing). Hope that made sense.

nope still waiting, bought a turbo sim card off ebay for £4ish thats working brilliantly though - its just a stop gap solution until the hardspl or until someone gets this on the database
Why don't you use sim-card unlock solution from ebay? It let you use any card with locked device.
Managed to Flash a fresh ROM to unlock my O2 HD2, followed the thread on here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314&page=15

Even more pathetic are the people who bought it, If they had took 2 seconds to search google for "HD2 Android" they would have an abundance of instructions for free.

Yeah You right. This is not the place. But i have mentioned why i bought this thing here. Second! perhaps you don't care. But some people of XDA working hard to do this stuff for free. And someone selling their hard work for own interest. So may be they people have some serious care about this. I am sorry if i have offended you.

i agree that is really wrong!!! these instructions were given to all of us for free. and now its being sold off! i hope ebay bans the guy that is trying to make money off of piracy! i would report to ebay but its not my work being copied and sold.
xda should take action!
I reported it to eBay and also posted a question saying "This information is availabel for free at xda-developers.com", which will appear at the bottom of the page.

Questions only appear at bottom of page if the ebay seller chooses to put them there, not just when anybody asks a question.
Oh...... Fail. lol
I don't believe xda needs to care about..
--
People buying this on eBay are most probably not too tech savvy and this can have a positive aspect as well :
-redundant questions will be directed to the seller and not (again) in anew thread here
But if somebody feels bothered by this, the best way would be to pm the buyer with the link to the free rom, this will most probably lead to a bad seller rating on eBay..
I personally don't mind, if I can sell something for $ although it is available for free, I am a lucky person then (or the buyer not too bright)
Maybe I should sell some air in a jar,- have some around here..

LOL wheres that then?
Anyways... sounds like you need a new digitizer. I bought one off ebay for about £12 and fitted it myself. You just need a couple of hours to do it. Heres one...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ORIGINAL-HTC-...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item19c0a8b6f0
When you do it, you have to glue the digitser to the screen surround if i'm not mistaken.
BTW
The connector you are looking at is the connector for the digitiser, but it folds around the back and comes out the side. You have to be very careful when fitting it.

I am trying xda site garbage free & post are at right place ( a little effort )
I think you are being a bit pedantic. A wouldn't call the digitiser an 'Accessory'. Maybe you should rename the Accesories section to 'Hardware Issues and Accesories'.

The best thing is to look in the accordant section/thread:

There should be a Q&A-thread or a sticky thread, that could help you.
If not: ask in the accordant thread.
