Help!!!.
I got up this morning and dropped my phone resulting in the glass smashing. The touch screen still works and the glass is held in place by a screen protector. There is someone advertising on ebay to fit new screens for £48.99. IS this a good price??.
Also........ the vibration on my phone sounds as though it is loose inside so I was thinking that maybe a refurb is worthwhile at the same time.
Does anyone know where in the UK I could get this done at a sensible price?.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Scotty.

Hi guys,i dropped my phone and my screen stopped responding.it was a nasty hit on my HD so i contacted HTC here in Cyprus and they told me that is the screen and its gone!!!They do not cover drops and they are overpriced in changing my screen cause they say that the bezel has to be changed too!
Does anyone know where i can find a fully assembled screen with the bezel so i can do it my self??If not does anyone has any idea how the screen seperates from the bezel along with the digitiizer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Does it have cracks? If not:
My suggestion, Go to another HTC centre and simply say screen is not working. Let them find the cause See what they quote. If it is a micro-crack or something not visible to naked eye they might simply replace it for benefit of doubt under warranty. I had a very trivial fall of my Nokia and I saw that LCD stopped working. No cracks nothing. I went to svc centre and they replaced it. When I asked why it happened they said sometimes LCDs do fail..
Some others may be upset with my suggestion though.. but worth trying. I think they should have given a better prot4ection or more easy replaceability of the glasstop/digitiser.

You can buy replacement screens on ebay.
I'd read the following similar threads:

Hi all, I am really really hoping that someone here can help me. I dropped my HD2 today and the screen just shattered. I rang HTC but since the phone has not been launched here in Australia they can not help me. I need to get a new screen but have no idea where from. Can anyone please help me on where to get a replacement screen. I was shocked at how the screen shattered, But I guess thats what happens with glass..lol..Thank in advance for any help
This is the drawback with glass screens, you get much better resistance to scratches but it becomes much more liable to shattering or cracking when dropped. A work colleague has had this happen to two separate iPhones.
As for your issue I can't really help, I doubt anyone else can either - given how new the phone is it's unlikely there is any means of getting the screen replaced outside of HTC doing the job even if you lived in a country where it's been released. However, I will suggest the first thing you do when and if you get it replaced is buy some sort of cover, this will reduce the chances of a screen shatter on being dropped dramatically. Here is the one I have purchased, it should be arriving today.

Thanks mate, I have a cover and screen protector on it's way which I ordered on the weekend..bummer it's too late eh..lol..if all else fails I will buy another one and claim it on insurance if I can and either keep the old one for a spare or try and sell it for parts..it still works perfect just has a shattered screen .but thanks for your input mate, I appreciate it
I noticed that they still work too, both my colleague's iPhones (he dropped and broke both in work in the space of a few months) still had fully functioning touchscreens despite the glass being completely shattered.
Yeah it's funny how they still work fine. My old Samsung HD bounced about 3 times and went for a skid..lol..Just found out that I can claim it on my House insurance which will get me a new one..This time I will have a cover ready for it
Hi all, I cracked the screen on my HD2 a few days ago and have been eagerly reading the reports of how to replace the digitiser, etc. I'm working up the courage (and getting the tools) to do it, but in the meantime the digitiser and screen are perfectly functional, if a little bit unsightly. I thought I'd get hold of a screen protector in the meantime so I don't end up with bits of glass in my fngers, etc. Any recommendations of a form fitting protector (or form fitting case) that would fit the bill? Ideally it would cover the bezel around the buttons too, because one corner of it is quite chipped. The pics on ebay are kind of hard to tell from. Any advice much appreciated!
I might be too late as you mentioned that you already getting the tools to fix it yourself. There are specialty repair shops that fix screens, I heard they are not too expensive. I don't know the exact price, but someone with a broken nexus one got his phone fixed this way. Do you mind telling how you cracked your screen, was it your negligence or is it too fragile?
I'm not looking for info about how to repair - I've read those threads. I'm interested in the best temporary fix for the meantime.
The cracked screen is largely due to negligence... dropped it outside. Woulda been nice if the phone was a little more sturdy, but can't expect much better. And thank God it still works just fine as far as I can tell. Gonna be more careful now...
The digitizer cracked. Almost perfect straight line just below the soft keys, and just above the trackpad, and the bottom left corner was pretty nasty looking. It worked for about a week and stopped. I had it all apart, and no connections are loose. The actual digitizer seems to be intact, but the class is missing entirely below the soft keys (it didn't stay together during disassembly). I was going to replace the digitizer, and eventually upgrade to an Atrix. I'm stuck on my junker Samsung jack in the meantime.
Anyways, my question is, is the digitizer not working because that bit of glass is missing? I can attach pictures later if you guys would like. I'm concerned about putting money into this phone if I can't know for sure if it's going to work when I'm done. I have a feeling that the problem is bigger than just the bottom of the glass being cracked/missing, because the portion of the glass that is actually touch sensitive is totally intact. On the other hand, is it possible that it isn't working because the digitizer depends on the entirety of the glass being there (since the glass is an insulator) to output the correct resistance values? If somebody with more knowledge on this could help, that'd be great. I used to occasionally get the touchscreen to work a few minutes at a time, but I now get no response.
I've done all kinds of searching for more specific answers with no luck.
Thanks for your help!
I am in the same boat bud. I cracked my screen pretty bad and just dont want to dump money into this little thing when there are some sick phones coming out this year. My has a ton of cracks all through the screen and it works perfect still, but I also have all the glass intact,for the most part anyway. I would have to guess that its the missing glass, but I am far from a pro so...yeah. Last I checked the aria digitizers were kinda steep in price, have you found any "deals"? Good luck to you sir.
I ordered my digitizer from wholesalegadgetparts.com they're reliable and have fast shipping. The installation can be a bit tricky and usually leaves you with a malfunctioning proximity sensor if you're not careful. Let me know if this helped or if you need assistance.

Well, out of curiosity, I fired up the phone tonight, and surprise surprise, it worked. Looks like the proximity sensor is shot though. When I take the phone aay from my ear, the screen doesn't turn back on, and I had to pull the battery to hang up. I'm going to try and work some magic and see if I can get an upgrade to an Atrix or Inspire next week, and I'll report back. Thanks for the help guys.
mine broke too
had the same problem - had to pull battery to get it to turn off - just wouldnt work.
I ordered a replacement - tried to replace it myself
couldnt quite get the glass to fit back nice an snuggly - and couldnt quite get it right .
ended up just buying a new one -
If your contract is almost over i would try to hold out for a new phone - so many nice new ones coming out...
although I love the little size of the aria
Let a buddy hold my phone and my luck kicked in, he dropped it. It was a very light fall and only have it 2 cracks on the edge and one hairline Crack across the screen. Phone works fine and I can see and touch everything. I've heard it's pricey to replace the screen on this thing because the screen assembly is one piece? Meaning I can't just buy the glass? Any advice or helpful links to reputable sites would be greatly appreciated. I've always just bought a new phone when I Crack my screen but this phone cost too much to just sell off for cheap. Thanks in advance
