Hi,
I just dropped my EU HD2 and the glass has cracked and theres a hole in the corner, although the LCD screen is fine and the touch works perfectly.
Could someone advise me where to get a replacement and whether I have to get the whole digitizer part?
Are the ones on ebay ok? I saw a few that were between £10-£20 and wondering whether they are the genuine ones from HTC or fakes...
I also heard there are two types of digitizers, one that needs soldering and one that just clips in...which one is the right one?
Appreciate the help
Hi Mods
Could you move this thread over to the HD2 General section?
Everyone else:
49 views and no one knows the answer to this??
Mine broke, and i sent to the SAT, sadly they broke my motherboard replacing the glass and made a swap.... so i wouldn't dare to change it myself...
Whats the SAT? I can repair this myself, I just need to know which digitizer I need.
Ok ill try and answer your questions.
First,, your EU Leo needs to be un/soldered to motherboard. As far as I know only TMOUS has the clip lcd.
Second, well £20 isn't going to get you a OEM screen, not a new one anyway. Shop around, compare price/products, maybe get the £20 one and try it out could be as good as the OEM one?.
PS. Writing this from my eu leo with a 1/4 of the screen cracked ;bummer; and the thing is it cost me ££75 to get it fixed the first time around.

Soldering is only involved in replacing the digitizer. In most cases you can replace the LCD with the digitizer attached so you just need to remove the ribbon cable and replace the LCD and digitizer kit. Cheapest I found that is genuine is 50 quid.
In any case, I'm using this opportunity to get a DHD

Hello.
I destroyed my touchscreen. The LC-Display under is ok. It shows all without errors.
But i can't do something with the pen. The Vario doesn't recognize something.
I fall down and der is a fat break in all ways.
Where can i get cheap a new touchscreen, without the lcd?
Sry for my bad english.
i had the SAME issue. Actually, the OUTSIDE screen would cost u very little money, but I found it impossible 2 find 1.eventually I did, but some ribbon issue didn't let me use the lcd roperly.so I changed the LCD as well, (but kept mine, UNBROKEN one hoping to resell it). Total cost 70 pounds, not cheap but... I had found this anyway that might be in your best interest:

I think they charge 170 for the LCD and the GLASSTOP, and at least online they wouldn't sell it in spare parts.maybe try to give them a call...
ciao
Checked it on Ebay....I saw someone sell the LCD screen, but I am not sure if it is for Wizard or for other HC models

thanks mate ;-)
I'm wondering about this size issue of the T-Mobile USA vs EU T8525 vs AU T9193.
If i take the housing off the Tshmo USA and replace with an european 8525 housing I get off ebay, would I be dealing with issues like the digitizer being too big for housing or the wifi board not fitting in the housing? Where is the differential coming from?
I do not think LCD would be any different. I guess I look forward to a Tshmo USA DISASSEMBLY!!!
Any thoughts?

That sounds INSANELY unnecessary.
Well I do phone repair for lots of people so it isn't too crazy. Plus what if someone bought a T-Mobile USA HD2 and cracked housing outside of warranty and needed to repair for themselves. All that is on market right now is housing for european models from what I have seen. It's not to strange trust me.
i agree. but the only thing on the market is European because the phone has been out for 3 days... and people only could buy on day one.. no sales the last 2 days...
long story short... there will be housing for the new hd2 in due time, and anyone that needs housing already is an idiot in my mind (i mean the one that came out Wednesday)... and i hear the new hd2 is 1.5 mm taller... i don't think it would have been if it wasn't necessary...
Yeah but, don't you wanna find out WHY it is taller?

I got mine on friday, it wasn't advertised but a lot of the stores got shipments on both thrusday and friday.
Hahaha I wouldn't even try doing that. I have replace many housings nokia n95,n82,moto mings and their not too easy but i seen how they take the hd2 apart and it doesnt look something you can do just like that. you need a damn oven for the glue a freaking oven lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGSsk2mMq84

LOL are you sure? any how is the screen really glues into the pieces or its just a normal glue?
Normal glue? No such thing.
I used a hair dryer instead of an oven to weaken the glue bond that was between LCD and plastic mid-frame.
I believe most adhesives in cellphones are silicon based.

makes sence i usually just get a really this plastic card and slowly pull the screen out of the device while using the card to cut through the glue so far it has never failed me (not that im tring to use it on the hd2 unless i break it and i think ill go with ur idea better.
So my idea of swapping parts of US HD2 with Euro HD2 is not so crazy after all. This can mean lots of money saved pending on the fix and where your phone is from. Thanks to asterix005 for posting pics of Digitizer / Housing comparisons.
Anyone with more input on the idea of cross model repair, post in here!
Euro 8525 FITTING with Tmobile US housing:

New 8525 Euro Digitizer vs Tmobile Digitizer size comparison:

So the next logical question(s) to ask is:
"OTHER THAN PERFORMANCE, DO THE PARTS INTERNALLY DIFFER BETWEEN TMO US and 8525 EURO ON THE ISSUE OF SIZE / ARRANGEMENT?"
"WHY IS THE HOUSING 1.5mm LARGER ON TMOBILE US?"

It's just a guess, but an extra 512MB of RAM has to have somewhere to live
I was wondering the same thing... if I can tale my T-MoUS insides and put them in a t8585 casing. My main reason is there are lot's of nice leather cases for the euro model like the vaja case that won't fit my us hd2.
It doesn't have 512mb of extra ram

Yes, right, ROM....but it's still memory that would likely require a 2nd module.

Are you certain the Vaja case wouldn't fit the american model? Just asking cause i placed an order without even thinking about the difference in size.

Pretty sure. The way it closes over the top of it won't work cause it won't reach over the top. Plus the vaja case is pretty exact fitting without any wiggle room. I contacted Vaja to see if they could make a version that fit the US model, but unfortunately they said they have no plans to. I have the noreve case which is made for the euro version, also, but luckily it does have some wiggle room and doesn't have such an exact fitting closing mechanism... so it fits decently. But you can tell that the volume button and camera are a couple mm higher up and the top goes a little higher. I had to cut a little extra off the camera hole.
Good luck... hopefully you can return or cancel the vaja case. Otherwise, if you get it and figure out a way to mod it to get it to fit, please let me know because I would love to have a vaja case. But I'm pretty sure it's not gonna fit without you modifying it someway. I don't know how you could mod it, though.
Hi all,
I have to admit I have a sneaky feeling this should not be here but I'm not sure where to put it... It's not strictly a accessory but anyway, if it is wrong, please do advise.
I'm after anyone here who has or knows of a someone that sells HD2 spares?
I obtained two screen repair HD2s - both have been tampered with previously and while the units both work fine, the front keypad ribbon is broken in two so the keys are not responding.
I have managed to source 2 LCD's but without these buttons, I'm lumbered with two units and two brand new LCD units.
Appreciate any help on this!
Thanks,
Akash

Not sure if this is much help but I did recall seeing a guy on Craigslist in Toronto selling an HD2 in mint condition except for the fact that the glass screen looked like it took a bullet. The LCD was perfect underneath and no scratches anywhere. Not quite sure how someone can do that to it and keep in mint at the same time but anyway it was posted in April and they were asking for around $300 CAN.
Thanks for that suggestion
I have actually been looking around Ebay UK (Where I am) for faulty HD2s but no one will sell them cheaply so...
Bit the bullet and requested a return on the LCD - the seller will refund me the full value back. Just wish I could get these parts as the rest of the unit is mint and given that I've already stripped the screen off (not the easiest task!), it would have been great just to put it back together in a working state.
Thanks again and if anyone does have any other suggestions in getting hold of the keypad, I would appreciate a quick note on it
Hi all, i have a question
So my hd2 fell and the screen broke,the lcd is still working and so was the digitizer but it stopped a couple of weeks ago.
Now i have the money and i'll buy a new digitizer.
My question is will the glass for the t-mobile version fit my european (or is it international) hd2?
I don't want to buy it just to find out it doesn't fit or something
Thanks in advance.
I read somewhere that Internation hd2 use lcd and digitizer combo that has to be soldered together but mine is click-on.
Is that the same one t-mobile version is using?
On the back of the lcd is says P/N: 60H00300-00P
EDIT: It looks just like this one.

There s a little bit size difference between the EU HD2 and TmoUS HD2....
It may fit, but u might face compatibility problems
Recommended that you buy the digitizer meant for EU HD2 from ebay Global easybuy
So as to be sure
Post #4 - Not all good advise ...
No size difference between lcd & digitizer on any model of HD2.
Main difference if replacing just the digitizer is fact one type is a solder connector & one a plug connector.
T-Mobile USA version was plug only connector.
EU version can be both depending on early or late manufacture or if been in for repair already it may of been changed to later version .
If have original SPL you can view the type via bootloader. If unsure wise to look first before ordering ...

you will need a heat gun to separate the two, then you will have to scrap all the double tape off and re-install new to keep the two and the housing together very easy to repair and very easy to break, Hint of advise, I would take the phone to a qualify repair shop for fix.
Hi All,
One of my family members broke their Nexus 4; tripped and fell and threw the phone across the pavement... cracked front screen and no touch response. Thus, I need to find a replacement screen and digitizer with front housing. Does anyone know of a good place to an original part besides etradesupply (they have been out of stock for a while)?
Thanks,
Joe
Why not sell it on ebay for spares or repair and get another one with the proceeds (new or secondhand)? Thereby neatly side-stepping the problem by giving it to others!
I don't know how much I could sell it for. I think replacing the screen would still end up cheaper than buying a new one. Anyone know a reputable ebay seller?
