[Q] Which digitizer for my HD2 and where from?

I've successfully taken my HD2 apart now I'm not sure about the digitizer I need. My phone doesn't have a T-Mobile logo and it came with the leather pouch which I read means it's not the T-M version.
I'm looking for a new digitizer and the one that looks like the connector would fit says it's for the T-M version. Rather than go on about it here is a pic of my digitizer. I'm in the UK so if anybody has shopping suggestions I'd be grateful.

I can't say too much based from picture posted above ...
It could have already replaced unbranded digitizer or it's Telstra, European, Taiwanese version... Are the call and end buttons colored on your phone (green and red respectively)?
If You have enough money, about 89-120$, better choice will be to buy a LCD+digitizer assembly also named LCM, they will work at all versions of HD2, not only T-mobile or European, I tested the LCM from European HD2 with in a T-mobile version of HD2 ant it works perfect. So go on eBay.com and buy one

Call buttons are all grey. I've though about getting the whole combo but it's more than twice the price and I'm not exactly rich so it would have been nice to just get a digitizer. I was hoping there would a way to identify properly which digitizer I need. I've sent a message to one of the suppliers on ebay. I'll see what comes out of it.
According to this article the different versions of the HD2 aren't physically the same size in terms of casing. Do the LCM units fit all the same?

Let me help you:
#1.your picture is defining an uncommon/unbranded TMO(bile)US touchscreen(No doubt about, at least for me!), but grey hardware keys are for international HD2 model, probably you have a (let say) hybrid (home made)version between american(TMOUS) and international model;
#2.nevertheless, in your financial position, I'll look on ebay for an appropriate touchscreen model(there are plenty, most of them with very clear pictures like your's) for about US$30-40;
#3. if you want a combo, as far as I know(and pvii already said it) the 2 LCMs are geometrically identical, but the frame/chasis on which lay on the LCM is different(the american model is longer on 2,0-2,5mm);
#4. international model is cheaper & easier to find.
For more informations/help feel free to contact me!
Cheers!

May be it will be better if You post a photo of rear side of your display or at least say it's product number (from sticker on square copper pad, rear side), i.e. P/N:60H00300-00P is for T-Mobile and P/N:60H00295-00P is for international version.
If You don't have enough money for a european LCM combo, you can buy a LCD apart and digitizer apart, even from different sellers but you have to buy matching parts, both for European or both for T-Mobile version.

Thanks for the info guys. The serial number is the kind of solid identification that I was looking for. The serial on my screen ending in 300-00P indicates that it's the TMobile version.
My theory is that since this phone was bought when it wasn't exactly new on the market HTC had switched to the solderless screens which seem more modern?!?
I'm assuming that in terms of connection the digitisers that look like they will fit in terms of connection should work. I'm only worried about the dimensions of it since the casing of mine is smaller than the real TMobile version from what I can tell.
Since I can't find anything else on ebay I guess I'll order one of the TMobile ones and see if it fits. I'll look for a shop with return policy just in case.
Thanks for the help. If anybody has further suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Read carefully my previous post:
you don't have to be worry, the touchscreen, lcd and lcm are geometrically (length x width) identical!

Yupp, any LCM will fit on any model of HD2.

I wasn't sure which part was identical but if the digitizers are then what I ordered should do the trick. Digitizer should arrive this week so hopefully I'll have something to report about
edit: Digitizer arrived and fits perfectly. I guess my phone was some weird mutation. Solution is to just buy a digitizer with the correct connection, job done.
Oh and getting the right tape is a total *****. I had to take everything apart again because my tape wasn't strong enough!

I thought I'd post my findings and produce some cliffnotes on how I fixed my HD2.
Firstly, if you search youtube for "leo as" and "leo dis" you will find the official HTC videos on how to assemble and dis-assemble the HD2. They make it look easier than it is. Also, they don't separate the digitizer from the screen.
I ordered the tools to "dis" off ebay. Especially the T5 screwdriver was worth getting since it allowed me to find out which digitizer I need. I have a non TMobile version but needed the TM digitizer.
I found that using an old credit card type of card works very well for taking the phone apart. It can reach further into the phone and bends rather than breaking like some of the cheap tools from ebay.
Especially for separating the digitizer and screen it's great. I heated up the digitizer & lcd combo in the oven for a couple of minutes like the video advertised for taking the middle part of the phone apart (you'll see in the vid). Here comes the interesting part: Instead of sliding the card / tool all the way across the screen (between screen and digi), it's enough to just separate it around the edges. There is no glue or adhesive in the middle. It seems obvious now but I got lots of glue all over the LCD which was a bit** to clean.
Another tip that is worth repeating is getting the cheap double sided tape from ebay which is meant for Iphone digitizers (3M branded). I got three of them for £1 incl delivery. I used it to put the "middle" of the phone together. Screen and digi I did with cheap double sided tape which is working but I regret somewhat.
Another tip would be the whit cable (flash?) which goes on the bottom of the mainboard. I put it on top to start with. It's easy to mix up. Also it makes sense to put one end on before you put down the mainboard because that way you still have proper access.
Make sure you have good tape and be patient. I had crap tape and just slammed things together because I was so keen to see if the phone still works. I had to take it all apart again which almost broke the phone because it was coming apart in all sorts of places.
Overall it's like a big, fragile puzzle. I got the phone from a family member who had dropped it so all I had to get was the digitizer and tape. Now I have the best phone that ever lived
If anybody has questions, I feel like I know the hardware of the HD2 inside out.

I also took mine apart to replace the digitizer. I haven't got the new one yet though. I also watched the take apart vid on youtube. Unlike you I didn't disconnect the white wire from under the board. As a matter of fact, I left the other wires attached to the mainboard and just disconnected them from the GPS, camera and Bluetooth boards. At the end of the little channel that the wires are in, there was a little metal tab that held the wires in place. I just bent the tab up to remove the wires. Like you I used a piece of credit card to loosen the glued pieces.

[Q] Which replacement screen/digitizer/housing??

I'm reposting this as a question, so that it gets bumped back to the front page (was sitting on page 6 after just over 1 complete day), and to hopefully get more views and some help. Thanks.
*************
So last week, I accidentally dropped my naked note 3 about 1.5 feet to a concrete sidewalk. Very little visible damage on the outside, but sadly, over the span of about 24hrs, the screen slowly faded to black (starting from the bottom left, where the most ammount of damage is visible, across the screen in a circular pattern), and now the screen appears to be completely dead. During the time in which the screen went black, the digitizer still worked, as I could still get the phone to register spen clicks on even the black areas of the screen (i.e. i could still get air command to pop up). There is also zero damage to the glass itself. No scratches, skuffs, or marks of any type. Looks brand new. And I've already tried getting the warranty to cover this. Its not.
So I'm currently in the market for a replacement screen/digitizer/housing assembly, should the repair centre quote me more than $275 + taxes to fix.
I'm going with a complete housing, because while I'm sure its simply the LCD screen portion that's no longer working, those in themselves cost upwards of $250. And it would require me to seperate the glass from the housing/digitizer, and then reseal them with the new one. I figured it would be much more cost effective to simply buy the whole package pre-assembled for $25 more.
Problem is, you can get different housing part numbers depending on which version of the phone you have (verizon, at&t). So my question is this:
Will it matter if I purchase the cheapest version? As an example, the AT&T black housing is 275, but the Verizon Black housing is 289. The last thing i want to do is fork over the money and find I ordered the wrong part.
I'm from Canada, and sadly our carriers are never recognized in these bloody situations. I'm with Bell, and I'm 'fairly' certain its identical to AT&T, but I wanted peoples opinions from here, as you are by far the most knowledgable about parts/hardware etc.
I'm SO choked at myself for being careless. My phone seemed to be flawless, and didn't exhibit any of the faults other people complained about (screen discoloration, all the functions like multi-window, one-handed operation, etc. not working). And now I've gone and forced open heart surgery on the thing.
I was looking here for the part:
http://www.etradesupply.com/samsung.html
As you can see, they have multiple models listed, and I just need to know if I'm selecting the right one.
(I also think that AT&T is my best choice, because after opening up the phone down to the motherboard and other parts, AT&T is printed all over the place. But I could be reading more into that than I should).

Touchscreen broken : any experience with replacements ?

Hi,
First i am sorry if there is already a topic like this one but i was unable to find it. Feel free to just point at it and be approprately mean with me.
My N4 fell on the back and the touchscreen does not respond correctly anymore (a 2cm high band in the middle is unresponsive, jsut where i should validate my pin code). I would like to know if you know fair prices, high quality screen replacements. The original part from LG is 120 EUR according to my local retailer, but i see replacements on amazon and ebay around 50 eur. I know i could replace the touchscreen only but it seems very risky, so i'd prefer to replace the whole screen instead.
Thanks !

The two ebay screens I've ordered were both blems with air bubbles trapped in the film. They worked though. I've got pictures of them somewhere.

So I just bought and installed this one a week ago:
etradesupply dot com/oem-lg-nexus-4-e960-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing.html
And it was worth every penny. My digitizer had cracked in the bottom corner, but was fully functional. What I didn't realize was how scratched up the glass was and how much the oleophobic coating had worn off. The new screen, digitizer, and frame from etradesupply was perfect. No bubbles, the glass was curved on the sides, and it is just as responsive as the stock screen. I was really worried about it not being up to OEM standard. The installation was very easy. I have read some replacements not having a filter over the LED and light bleeds out, but this one has the filter. 5 stars, would buy again. I did alot of research before hand, and have heard many horror stories of Ebay replacements, but this one really worked out well.

OP2 Display damage after heavy rain

Dear xda,
while being on holiday in South-East Asia, I got into some pretty heavy rain and my OnePlus 2 obviously didn't like the rain - the display seems to be broken since. Unfortunately I tried switching the phone on shortly after the water contact (because I needed it for navigation) and the display worked just fine while the phone seemed to be stuck software-wise (although now from a retrospective point of view it could have been that already then the display was somehow having issues).
I did put it in dry, uncooked rice just a few hours after the water contact and kept it there for a few days, with the SIM-Tray ejected and the back cover taken off. Still, after a few days, I tried switching it on again and I could notice that is was booting up just fine (I could see the capacitative buttons lighting up and even got some notification sounds after it booted up), but the display remained black
Back home I removed not only the SIM-Tray and the back cover but also the "inside cover" as well as the battery (it then looked like THIS) and put the phone back into rice for another 2 days. After that I reassambled the phone and tried switching it on again - still the display wasn't working.
After disassembling the phone again and taking the battery out, I put the remaining parts of the phone into the oven at about 45°C = 113°F for about 2h. But that didn't help either.
Is there any advice as how to maybe get my display working again? Maybe some cable or connection inside the phone that I could inspect or disconnect and reconnect? The process of buying a display on eBay and replacing the display seems to be rather complicated (due to the fact that the display is glued to the frame as from what I could see on ifixit.com) and I don't want to damage more than I already did while maybe the repair attempt doesn't help at all.
Does anyone have any experience/insight regarding how much it would cost me to open a repair ticket with OnePlus and let them repair/replace my display unit?

Guess it would cost around 200USD since the display is one of the costliest components in the phone. Not sure if it's only the display issue though. The water might have done some serious damage to the board itself.

100$ easily

I too considered buying a replacement screen on ebay or aliexpress. But I don't think I feel confident enough to take the necessary steps to replace the screen, because you seem to have to "unglue" the old screen and glue the new screen back on the frame (Sources: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/OnePlus+2+Screen+Replacement/51922#s115570 and https://youtu.be/Q1b5Ut5kTRM?t=4m).
Is it easier to do than I think? Did you face any issues while replacing it? Can you see or feel a difference with the new screen compared to the original one (i.e. does it perfectly fit into the frame without protruding)?

It was pretty straight forward and simple. I just applied heat to screen using a hairdryer and the used the included suction cup to gently loosed the screen from the adhesive using a credit hard to pry away the glue and then removed the connections to the screen and the touch-buttons and home button from the backside and then removed the screen. Then I moved over the home button and touch buttons to the new screen, applied some 3M adhesive strips on the frame after removing the old adhesive, put the screen back in place and reconnected the collectors, pushed the screen in place in the frame and heated it a bit too make sure the adhesive sticks and then screwed everything back in there and put on the back case. Done and done!

Ok I think I am gonny try tro buy a screen on aliexpress and replace it myself. Do you think this one should do?

well maybe you guys can help me out here i did the steps to replace the fingerprint sensor but now my screen wont stay glued , i have not been able to find the glue for the screen anyone can help with that by any chance ?

For me, the old adhesive came off with the old screen. But I did some cleaning with alcohol just to be sure.

LG V20 screen replacement!!!!!

Hey guys. I recently broke my LG V20 (AT&T varient.) It is just the top screen and not tbe LCD Digitizer. The 2nd screen is completly fine and its the main screen that's broken. Does anybody know a good tutorial and a good source to get tbe part ASAP?
Thanks in advanced.

As someone else said,youtube.
In the amount of time waiting for a reply, you could have just Googled the question.
And, the second screen, I do believe, is a single physical screen, partitioned by software. If one is trashed, both are I believe.

Thank you. I understand Youtube and Google. The problem with that is there are only like 3 videos, and each video the process is slightly different. When I try and search for the part, I find the glass/LCD digitizer ranging in price from $100-130. This is fine but the problem is I don't want to wait a few weeks to receive it, since all of the places I've found that sell it can't do expedited shipping, and if they do, they are all sold out. Lastly, I also found JUST the top layer of glass (no not a tempered glass protector, the actuall replacement) for only around $10-$20 in price, but there are ZERO videos on Youtube for that process, and a few people in the comments have even asked about this, with no luck.

A combo of multiple things....
This is a relatively new phone. Won't be lots of how tos available for one.
Second, what you are asking about is not a simple fix.
It requires either extreme cold such as, liquid nitrogen or 90% alcohol and dry ice cold. Or extreme heat. You either embrittle the glue with cold and peel it off in pieces or soften via heat and pull it loose in pieces. You run risk of killing your digitizer. Plan ahead accordingly.
You also *will* kill the polarizing layer in between digitizer and glass. Be prepared to replace this as well. Anyone who says otherwise is fibbing, IMO.
Then, you need something to remove the bubbles from the LOCA glue and gorilla glass sandwich.
Then reassemble.
Again: with the phones age, and a small supply chain in place due to the devices age, don't expect much in the way of how tos, or parts.
tl;dr
Not a simple fix. Chances are high you wont get it back to stock without a good technique and some moderately expensive tools.
Edited to add... There's a reason you find very few glass sellers, and lots of people selling digitizer/glass combos. .. The odds of a ****ed job are sky high, esp with phones with curved glass, like Samsung garbage.

On my V10 my front screen had cracked. Rather than try to replace just the digitizer I bought a dead V10 on eBay and replaced the full screen housing from that phone with my motherboard. Much easier to replace full screen assembly if you can find that way.

Fixez - LG V20 Screen with Frame
Just thought I would "help" other LG V20 owners; but I just finished replacing the screen on mine after dropping it on the concrete floor in the parking garage at work. It actually landed face down and I had a crappy Incipio case, so it was a spiderweb of cracks although it still ran fine for 3 months until the lines got thicker and thicker.
Anyway, I ordered a replacement Screen with Frame from Fixez.com and just know that it is NOT OEM or even close. I got my phone working; but just some notes for anyone else who finds this and tries to replace the screen themselves.
Most YouTube videos out there are NOT accurate and you will end up having to "move" extra parts they do not show.
I got the FRAME replacement; but I think it would have been BETTER without because all the tiny pieces are GLUED onto the frame.
You MUST have the tools, especially that tweezer one and get a Hair Dryer, because the parts are TINY and GLUED so easier to loosen.
I broke the Headphone Jack, because the connectors are basically membranes, which is why I think you should just replace SCREEN.
I forgot to clean my front facing camera; but I cleaned the two rears ones, so just make sure you "alcohol and air spray" clean before closing.
It is beyond blurry and I do not want to take it apart; but it could actually be the "low quality" peephole, which is creating "flare and blur".​
Once I finished and turned it on, I was overjoyed; but after a week I can "see" more problems and just be aware that you really need OEM.
Problems:
Secondary Screen does not "show" when Main Screen is OFF; but it worked with original screen once option enabled.​The top part is not white-white; but just a "hair off" and it is like an "oval thumb circle" and might have been "touched" during manufacture.​Put some Arctic Silver CPU compound; because this "knock off" runs HOTTER and the first few boots felt like a "burn in" sequence.​There is no LG Logo at the bottom of the screen; so if you decide to "sell" it later, then it will be obvious that you are selling "refurbished".​The battery seems to drain faster; but I also noticed it does not "like" a FULL charge and runs nice and cold when lower battery charge.​Headphone jack broken. Does not light up when I look at screen. Sometimes "double tap" (KNOCKON) does not work correctly.​Sometimes I have to press Power Button twice to turn on screen. Sometimes it is once. Basically "sensors or integration" seem to have issues.​I just miss how the "little things" used to work perfectly, even when it was cracked.​
Basically, this screen feels like a cheap Chinese "knock off"; but I went for the "cheapest option" I found out there and you get what you pay for, so it works, but I hope this helps someone else out there to make an informed decision. Remember, Fixez (and ALL OTHERS) have a NO RETURN policy; because basically they state that it must be in NEW RESELLABLE condition and you are going to be sticking things, bending wires and removing plastic tabs. So do not listen to anyone and these repair shops will NOT return your money once you try to DIY.
If I had to do it again, then I would have spent more time looking for a screen with the LG Logo and at least try to get something with some OEM "guarantee or promise"; which Fixez NEVER made and I just went for Low Price and USA Based. Might have been better to get something OEM from Asia; because I got ganked anyway and I suspect this screen is going to shorten the lifespan of what was a beautiful LG V20 - H918 from T-Mobile.
:crying:

Does anyone know how to find a decent quality replacement of the glass and digitizer? I'll certainly keep the ease of 'no frame' in mind. I would like an oem product for sure. But I want my phone back asap, so I'll take what I can get
