They may not supply replacement parts to YOU, but did you ask if you can send it to them and they fit a new screen?

I've ask acer - only replacement with a new one

I feel your pain. The missus used mine for half an hour and managed to put a huge scratch on the back aluminium panel. Not as bad, I know, but still, I think these tablets are going to get a rougher time than a laptop.

First time I hear the glass can break. Because the glass is made by Corning company, so its Gozilla glass. Maybe you should ask Corning Customer service for it. I don't think the replacement is cheap.

This is the official answer from the Gorilla Glass.Far better support than Acer (still waiting from them for advice)
Good day!
Gorilla Glass is a component used in the manufacturing process and as such can not be added after the device has been manufactured.

Kaiser Replacement LCD ?

My 2 weeks old Kaiser slipped from my hands and the LCD broke !! I am looking for a good repair shop in Belgium or any links from which I can procure a new LCD screen real fast! Any pointers would be helpful. Also, does anyone know if the LCD screen is covered under the HTC warranty ??
whipout ur htc carepack, call the number nearest you. They probably would fix it for you for a small charge. Keep in mind, repair shops aren't htc specialists.... So my suggestion is that you contact htc and see what they can do for you.
i feel for you :{
my girlfriend just got her LCD cracked from a roller coaster (stupid safety bars). probably going to take a few weeks for us to get a replacement screen since they don't even sell the kaiser here.
she keeps subconsciously trying to touch the screen on her interm dumb-phone... and sighs.
do it yourself! buy a replacement screen on ebay, and look for replacement instructions on this forum
how easy does the screen crack if you drop it? just for arguments sake shouldn't the phones be able to sustain a reasonable drop? After all you are constantly using it in your hands so it is likely you would drop it at least once.
Put this under you favorites

My Tilt has only 2 buttons on the right, the power and camera buttons. http://cnn.cn/shop/images/IMG_5052.JPG shows there are 3 buttons. What's the 3rd button?
I found that on expansys website while i was checking for a good screen protector... Have a look here :

Well, I've taken up a hobby of repairing all makes/models of phone that I can get parts for, so I'd be exceptionally grateful if you could provide some info as to WHERE and HOW you get them so cheaply....
TIA!
there are a few shopping mall in china that sell only spare part for pc, mobile phones and all micro electronics part.
and because most of the oem and third party parts are all made in china, its always cheaper to buy from there, I travel to china a lot, and in search for some parts, I did come across some tytn II parts.
but then you need to live in china or hong kong just like me, so you can go back and forward.
I can also let you know that only micro electronics parts and mobile spare parts are cheaper in china, PC stuff are cheaper in hong kong, as well as back up service.
you need to go to wha qheung ( my own english translation) street along the china railway system, most of them do bulk buy and send overseas, but its best to be there in person, as you cannot trust them sometime.
next time i'll get the address when I go over again, but i'll don't think you will travel there.

LCD Screen For Sale

LCD Screen
Warning: Images are very high resolution
Part Number: 60H00037-00M
Willing to accept any sensible offer and would prefer a UK sale.
If you're in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee I'm willing to give it to you in person if you want to save postage but it would have to be at a mutually convenient time.
The screen is immaculate - I removed the plastic cover when it arrived in the post but haven't used it at all.
N.B. The part number is very important as I believe there are 3 different types for different versions of the Tytn.
==============================================
I used to wonder how people managed to break their LCD screens so carelessly but now that I'm one of them feel a great sense of pity and sorry for them
Seriously though, I broke my LCD screen the other week and I've been kicking myself since. I went and bought a replacement LCD for it but I couldn't get it working in my phone because I broke a little black component that holds the ribbon cable onto the contacts.
Anyway, now I have a broken phone and a spare LCD screen so I'm going to sell the bits as spares if anyone is interested.
Right now I'm going to sell the LCD screen as I've not decided if I want to break up the phone itself, especially as it still contains all my data
How much are you selling for

I paid £42 for it so if you have a sensible offer around that price I'll certainly consider it.
Are you based in the UK?

[Q] Digitizer that isn't USED?

I bought a digitizer for my HD2 from eBay that was listed as "New". I specifically bought it because every other digitizer listed for $20-something is "Used". Well, I get it only to see that it is USED, has used foam tape on it and the front has several light scratches with one particularly deep one right in the middle. Seller assures me it's brand new (yeah, right), and that damage must have been caused in shipping. Uh, there was no damage to the protective plastic at all and how is a glass screen going to get scratched by a plastic baggie and bubble-wrap?
I now don't trust eBay sellers that claim their digitizers are new that they are really new. Does anyone have experience with a seller who sells T-Mobile variant digitizers that are definitely brand new and no scratches? Cheap price definitely preferred!
Any source for that thick-ish foam double-sided tape for that matter? The 3M adhesives for iPhones and such is much, much thinner.
Used digitized work fine, as long as the seller has OEM somewhere in the listing. Make sure it is sold from US too, because Chinese sellers sometimes sell fake digitized that are "new".
Btw, the thin double sided 3m tapes work fine, but its a long shot from the original adhesive.. it works and I havent had any problems yet
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Thanks, but the problem with used digitizers is they have scratches so I'd rather get a brand new one.
Does lack of responses mean all the TMOUS digitizers out there are likely to be used?
Go on eBay and look for the seller "dudu Sales". We get all of ours from them and haven't had a dud yet. Not to mention they package tools and tape, all for under 35$

Thanks, got a link? I wasn't able to find dudu Sales.

Best Source For Replacement Screen/Digitizer?

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?
