Just cracked my screen today. I went searching on Ebay and saw LCD screens and a digitizer. What parts do I need? either or both?
Phone still works, just can't read anything on the screen. It lights up but its all messed up.
I'm in the US, anyone have a phone for parts?
If you think that you can do it yourself, you will have to order a new LCD component and - just to be on the save side - a digitizer as well. Your best source might be eBay. Other than that, the Hermes really dropped in price, so, if you want to stick with a Hermes, try to get you a new one on eBay and keep your broken one for parts.
NO!!!!!!! You just need the LCD. Make sure it has the digitizer ALREADY on it. Save some $$ and some stuffing around with a possible failure.
In Oz I can get 1 for less than $100. You should be able to get them cheaper depending where you are in the world.
When you get the LCD/digitizer combo then use the Hermes HTC Service manual to pull apart your Hermes and put back together. You'll also need a size 6 torque key, a smll flatblade screwdriver and a small philips head screwdriver.
Take the steps 1 at a time and if you don't understand something then reread until you do.
When you put back together watch out for the camera focus and the battery access latch. If you don't line up the camera focus switch with the swich on the back cover you will have problems and if you put the battery latch on the wrong way you're not gonna be able to get the battery cover off easily.
Cheers...
Thanks for the advice. I'mgoing to try to do this myself and save a few bucks. I checked local repair shops and they want $120 to repair.
I haven't seen any LCD's that mention they have the digitizer with it. Is there a way to tell? Otherwise, I'll see what I can find.

LOL,
So, he needs the digitizer!
Yes Junner2003, but you DON'T buy it separately... That is a MAJOR pain in the neck. Its almost impossible to attach properly.
The LCD should come with the digitizer attached. Ask the seller if it is. If they say "no" then go elsewhere. There's no point in saving a few bucks on an LCD that may not be made to work properly.
Thanks for that tip. I found one with the digitizer so I'm crossing my fingers.
Hi,
I stepped on my HTC HD2 (European version) and now the screen is broken. Actually the glass istself is fine, it's something underneath it. First some black spots appeared, then they started spreading around the screen perimeter. (See attached images).
My question is what do I need to replace? The whole package? The glass? LCD screen? Digitaliser? Or are they all same thing?
Thank You.
LCD is cracked.
LCD & Digitizer glass are bonded together & can be separated.
Normal scenario is dead digitizer & removal of delicate LCD can be difficult, as you are saving Digitizer you should be OK ! take extreme care of all ribbon cables ...
You can buy these 2 parts already assembled or individually.
Worth also noting that the HD" EU model & USA T-Mobile screens & connector are not the same so do research before committing on parts purchase.
T-Mobile USA is easier to repair as has socket connector but EU version has solder connector.
Looking a photo you have EU version ...

So all I need is this part HTC Touch HD2 T8585 LCD?
P.S. Screen is fully responsive, just the black dots...
assuming you dismantle & assemble it without damaging any ribbon cables.
Most people seem to have issues with button/digitizer ribbon due to bad handling ...
also connector soldering is required if buying LCD part separate ...
Black/greenish oily dots are LCD fluid I expect.
Had the same problem with my old phone. After checking with a repair service, it was actually cheaper to buy a new one on ebay instead of getting it repaired.

I know. I asked official HTC service in my country, ant they said it would cost 350$ So I'm thinking of buying broken part myself and find someone, who could fix it for less money. We'll see how it goes

The Cheapest Way is to fix your Cracked Displayproblem by yourself. You can use US und EU Touchscreen-Glases and LCD-Displays. HTC has two Versions: With Soldering ( the 295 Version ) and Click On without Soldering ( 300er Version 2 ). Both are Working in EU-Models perfect. I preffer the better 300er Version...
Now i´m working since a couple of days ( finished today the 1st quarter from my instuctions ) on my DO IT YOURSELF Web-Project and i will bring this forward the next few Days if i have a little Time. Here the Link:
mperlitsch.hintergrundbild.com/htc_hd2.htm
It´s complete in German ( because this is my Language and the Reason for my poor englisch here ), but i bet you can do that Step by Step when you look at my Pictures. Remember: It´s not finished yet, only 25%. I will write the whole Process to Change a complete "Touch-LCD Modul" and Parts ( Glas or LCD from 295er and 300er Version ). It´s really easy to separate the Module e.g. Glas from LCD ( i need 30 Sec. to do that without heating up only with a simple thin Guitar-Plec). The Only problem is to find the correct adhesive Sticker tape. The 3M Brands with 2mm is perfect to Tape the Glas and LCD together.
I recommend for every 1st Timer to buy a complete 300er Click On Touch/LCD Modul. It´s ready to use and a easy; fast and Cheap way. And if you destroy the Glas in 1-2 Years, you can Replace only the Glas without Soldering.
Best Regards and excuse my poor english,

Hi, I've just bought an hd2 phone, but unfortunately I've cracked the digitizer.
The phone works very well, even with the broken digitizer, but I would like to replace it with a new one.
The lcd has no damage at all, so it doesn't need replacement, only the digitizer.
I've been looking on ebay for a replacement, and I've find 3types of digitizers for hd2: one with connector and t-mobile logo, one without logo and with connector, and one without logo and with soldering needed.
The sellers told me to disassembly my phone to determine wich one will fit my hd2, but I really don't want to do this, because if I take the phone apart, the digitizer will fall apart, and I won't be able to use it till the replacement arrives, wich is at least one month+I don't wnat to disassembly the phone so often, once is more than enough.
So, can the digitizer type be determined without disassembling the phone?
It's an european version, bought it from vodafone, but not branded.
P/N 99HJY042-00
And also, does the digitizer ordered from ebay have the glue needed for the digitizer and lcd bond, or should I order it separatedly?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you must be take it apart, you dont have another choice. I taked many of these apart and didnt find another solution. But ...
... You dont need take apart fully. And disassembly digitizer at lcd. Even you dont need remove digitiser and lcd (they are jointed with 3M special two sided tape) from middle chasis (also jointed with 3M special two sided tape). Just remove main board and you see what you need. Look to "this photo". On left bottom corner you see chip with QR code label. Looking to right at this chip you see grey metallical tape. Take it littlebit up at tape right side. There you see is it soldered or solderless version.-Most european versions are soldered versions. Then make buy. But ...
I recommend buy digitizer with lcd because you dont attach all back correctly on first time. And you need special 3M two sided tape too (with width 3mm, 5mm and 8mm).
Last three times i bought middle chasis too, but it hard to find alone. Most of time they sell it with chasis.
Good photo guide is here

If you Tape the Touchscreen to the LCD you need 2mm 3M Tape. To bring the Touch/LCD inside the Middle-Chassis you don´t need Tape. Only 4 little (!!!!) drops Super-Glue. Here you find more details:
http://mperlitsch.hintergrundbild.com/htc_hd2.htm#Zerlegeanleitung
Ohh before i forget. The Touch/LCDs Combos in the International HD2 Version ( Europe too ) are soldering 60H00295 or ClickOn 60H00300 Versions. The old HD2s use the 295er Version 1 Combos ( they Touchscreen on that Devices will Kill someone by itself ) and the newer HD2 the better Version 2 300er Touch/LCD Combos ( they are perfect ).
Best Regards,
Michael
Yeah, glue is one way good but there is many things why its bad.
- lets say you drop your phone again after week and need change digitizer again. When you used tape to bring the Touch/LCD inside the Middle-Chassis then now you can do it again. Glue leaves a trail, tape not.
- when you use glue then Touch/LCD with the Middle-Chassis sit littlebit more down on main chasis and later you feel with your fingers that.
- you will be more happy later about your professional work when you put together your phone. It just looks like original.
- also buttons pad brings very up and buttons ribbon get all time more pressure than normally (specially on pocket).
But find your best way on this work. This was what i think.

The lcd+digitizer combos on ebay are all 295.
But if I buy them together, like they sell it on ebay, I don't have to solder, or anything else?
Are the new 300 type compatible with the older hd2, or won't they work with them, once installed?
If you had before solderless version, then you need solderless replacement too.
If you had before soldering version then you need soldering version too.
If you had before T-mobile version then you need T-mobile version too.
I bought at this selles before and all is OK and most of is OEM stuff:
HTC HD2 T8585 LEO OEM FULL LCD+TOUCH SCREEN 300 REPAIR
T-MOBILE HTC HD2 OEM FULL LCD+TOUCH SCREEN INTEGRATED
T-MOBILE HTC HD2 OEM FULL LCD+TOUCH SCREEN SOLDERLESS
HTC HD2 T8585 OEM FULL LCD+TOUCH SCREEN 300 SOLDERLESS

To check out what Kind of Touch & LCD you have inside your HD2 you only have to go Inside the 4 Color-Bootloader ( Original-Bootloader !!!! ).
-If you find there the Information "MicroP (Touch) 0x30" you have inside your Phone a "60H00295" Touchscreen und LCD Combo ( soldering )
-If you find there the Information "MicroP (Touch) 0x50" you have inside your Phone a "60H00300" Touchscreen und LCD Combo ( Click On )
By the Way: You can use both Versions with your Phone. I Recommend the newer 300er Combos...
I hope that helps a little...

Hi DataS,
today i got a repaired ( i did, with my little tiny Drops Superglue method ) HD2 from a Friend. He Destroy the Touch again ( ohh my god...2nd time ). I put this HD2 into my HD2 Clinic and i know, it will be easy to remove the Middle-Chassis from the LCD. Because ( i wrote that ) i use only only a little Superglue. I remove the Middle-Chassis with my Gutar Plec Method and needed 10 Sec. to do it. Lightning fast.
Now after 2 Hours his HD2 have a brandnew Touch und i use again 4 little Drops Superglue to bring back the Combo inside the Chassis. Everything look like NEW and untouched.
I promise u, this is the fastest and professional Way, because it´s holds the LCD inside the Middle-Chassis and it´s easy to remove later, too. If you use "Sticky Tape" and run outside all Day long at 110 Degrees ( Nevada; Arizona; New Mexico ) you can get Problems with a Taped LCD Combo even when you use "3M Special Tape".
My Way worked perfect. But the trick is, to use only a Little Drop at the Positions i recommend. I know other Ways ( your ! ) too and i have often to smile, when i saw this "Professionel Results". Halloween-Roulez ! Horror-Trip !
I testet both Versions ( i have here many Brandnew Middle-Chassis with the Original Tape ) and my Version is better because the HD2 is Head-Risistant, the Original not so mutch. In Sepember & October i spand a lot of Time in very Hot Desert-Areas and my Original Tapes HD2 got Problems ( the LCD-Combo goes up ) and my 2nd HD2 ( with the Glue-Drops ) not. This is for me the Number 1 and Today i checked the Worst Case Situation. Removing the Middle-Chassis was mutch easier then the Orginal Taped one.
Better than the Original; easier to Remove means for me: This is Professional ! But the Trick is, to use only a little ( less is more !!! ) at my Positions:
Here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and here:
Only a little (!!!!) Drop Superglue between the crack at the Middle-Chassis and LCD. You can remove everything easy later if you want ( like me, 60 Minutes ago ). On the Top and the black Plastik under die Hardware-Keys i use "Special 3M Tape", too ! This are the Positions i work conservative...
I recommend my style 100%. If someone will use Sticky-Tape, for me is this ok to. But it´s not perfekt. From 10 Phones i get to rapair 9 are Helloween for me. The LCD/Touch don´t fit inside the Backcover ( the Glas has be be 0.2-0,3mm deeper then the Cover-Rim ) and the disassembling is a lo0t of work too. Means looks crappy und showed me how unprofessionel other "Tim Tayors" are...
The important thing is: To have good Alternatives. And i show only free Alternatives. You can do that or not. You have to decide that by yourself !
Best Regards,
Micha
Sorry Perlitschke, i dont fight with with you. Just discuss with you to get BEST way on this amazing HD2 repairing.
I discovered your style in my mind. Then found itself on thinking - why HTC used hard way then, to attach phone with 3M tape. Guess why? Not for better looking. It for quality. This quality you cant get with "home made". Yes you can but its not economic for you. And buttons, and whole phone itself. Buttons get less pressing pressure with tape. Tape makes buffer. Also with tape all parts will have less pressure due to tape elastic. Then phone have more possibilities to survive. I hope you understand what i mean.
With next HD2 repair i go use your way for testing.
Where you got that: "By the Way: You can use both Versions with your Phone. I Recommend the newer 300er Combos... "?
My phone is with 60H00295 and you say that i can use 60H00300 too!?!

Nobody wish to Fight and i´m never fight, because for me this is only wasting of time. Your Argument is Quality and if you wish the same internal Quality Style use a brandnew Middle-Chassis ( i also use new Middle-Chassis for other people HD2, too ). At my HD2´s i use my way, because for me this is the fastest way and a technical Upgrade. I find this out in Sep/Oct. in the United States ( with 2 Devices ) and very hot Desert-Regions. The one with the 3M Tape faild, the other with the Glue make a perfect Job...
And a other Problem is the 3M Tape. I have a lot from that here, but other peaople don´t have this Special-Tape. You get Superglue in every Gas-Station; the Special 3M Tape ( u have to use 2 Different 3M Tapes if you want your quality ) often not inside the State.
I love easy ways, because i recommend only things that other people can reproduce and have at home.
All the good words and "quality" is worthless if you don´t have the right tools. We both have all that, but most other people not.
Quality for me means when my phone works even better than a new one. For u quality means only to copy other things 1 to 1.
The people can try 50 other ways to solve an easy problem too and i´m glad if someone have a better idea and bring that idea with pictures and text inside of an free Instruction-Manual. I did. But this is not magic....LOL
To your Touch/LCD. Sure u can use instead the 295 the better 300er. For the Furture if you crack your Glas ( i hope this will never happen ), it´s very easy to remove only the Touchscreen from the LCD. Because it´s the Click On Version, so u need to remove the Touchscreen from the LCD only 1 Minute and Reinstall a new one ( with the correct Sticky-Tape ) in 3-5 Minutes ( because the Cleaning / Dust Issue )...
I recommend the 300er Version. Better and easier and fits mutch better than the often thicker cheap 295 Combos. I had a Combo that was 1,5mm thicker and a case for the Trashcan. And i think Helloween was over....smile.
Best Regards and a good Quality ReAssembling,
Micha
P.S: BTW: You can use the Glue-Version 20 Times. Remving the LCD from the Middle-Chassis need Secounds. No things the clean or Extra-Remove. Ready to reGlue; perferct for me for fast Repairs ( if i or a friend of mine crack the Cheap Touchglas again ). This saves time, too. And Time is often Money !
I don't wanna be cheap, but the 295 version on ebay costs less, then the 300, and right now every penny matters.
So, the specs of the phone are:
pb81100 ss-bc
spl-2.08.hspl 8g xe
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x50
Will the 295 lcd+digitizer combo (the already assembled one) work in it?
Hmhm, understand you perfectly. Your opinions right.
My point on using 3M tape was that later you can sell this phone like original and new user can go with that to official repair too.
Anyway, this is not mandatory.
Thanks about your opinions and hint about 60H00295 vs 60H00300.
Honestly i go use with my son HD2 repair your methods. Also if needed to test 0H00295 vs 60H00300 (dont know right now which one this model have). He dropped it some months ago, but still today dont have money for repair ( i dont pay for items that was cracked with poor and imprudent handly ).
So you say that the 300 and 295 preassembled lcd+touch are interchangeable...Are you sure?Does the 300 has less problems?

I use only the 60H00300-00P Versions ( i put the old buggy soldered 295 directly into the trashcan ) because the 300er cost the same and works a lot better. And the Cheap NEW 295 had another Major-Problem. Often you receive ( if you ordered Cheap Combos from China ) a 295er Combo that is a lot thicker than the Original 295 (>1-2mm). All that you don´t have with the modern 300er Version. Fits perfect.
Die 60H00300-00P are perfect. No Problems at all! I often use for my German HD2Devices the "T-Mobile" US-Versions. The Different between the US-Version and European is only the little shiny Tampon-Print on the Top ( the Silver T-Online Logo ). These Tocuhscreens are 3-5 Euros cheaper then the unbrandet ( without Logo ) European Versions and T-Online is a BIG German Campany, too. The Difference between both is only the Print and you can use these in the US-HD2 and also the International HD2. This means, US-HD2 Users can use the International plain Version too if they like the Style without Provider-Logo.
Last Week i got a third printed Version. A HD2 Touchscreen with a Logo i never ever See on the Top. Looks like a "Y" (like Dirt or a Fuecked T-Online Tampon-Print ?!), but i think this is an special Asian Provider HD2 Logo ?!?! I send this Back to the Dealer a couple of Days ago and get now a new T-Online Touchscreen-Version ( because i don´t buy Combos and put the Touch & LCD 300er by myself together. Cost only 5 Minutes and save me 5 Bucks ).

Micha

1st: The Connectors from the old soldered Version 60H00295-00P and the Click On 60H00300-00P are the Same.
The Deference between the "International" and US-Version with the 60H00300-00P is the Tampon-Print on the TOP. Size; Connectors all the same...
This make it easy for us. I use often die US-Versions in my German HD2 and they fit and work great. Sure, it´s all the Same ;-)

I´m not sure, but maybe this is the 60H00415-00P ( the same like the 60H00300-00p ) LCD-Module. I have two of this LCDs here ( on hour ago a assemble the Touchscreen 60H00300-00P to the 60H00415-00P ) and it works on the fly also. When the HD2 Device is complete reassembled i´ll check the Boot-Loader ( it´s not easy now, because everything ( 2 Different HD2s ) still lays now in Parts ). Look to this Mess here:
I will make a Screenshot from the Boot-Loader on the Weekend. But under the Line the important thing is, that you can use every LCD/Touch Combo inside your HD2. The Boot-Loader Information is only important when you only want to remove a Cracked Touch. I Recomment in this case to remove the Glas and then to order a new one. Just in Case if you destroy your LCD during this Process ( so you have to Order a Complete Combo ). The Process to remove the Glas is very easy, if you know how to do that ( 30-40 Secounds ) and if you have a little experience to do that ( for me this is so easy, but i know other people that this process drive this kind of people crazy )...
Best Regards,
Micha
...I promied to check this "60H00415-00P" LCD-Sceen Module out. The Boot-Loader shows the same informations like the "60H00300-00P" Modell = 0x50
Now, the Question is: What LCD Module you have when it shows "0*40". If someone have the Answer, please feel free to post the Information....thx !

Hi
Ok,my HD2 is broken since October and I'm a student and i just couldn't afford the repairs. All I know is that - it seems like this - the connector to the display is not working anymore (common problem I heard).
But honestly I have no idea what to do:
Money is still a bit tight so I can't really buy a new phone.
On the other I couldn't even figure out what to repair. I know the display is a whole unit (LCD and touchscreen glued together) and somewhere in between is the connector,which lost his contact to the mainplatine.
But all I find are the plastic frames with a connector ( http://www.algogo.com/store/product...er-HTC-HD2-II-LEO-T8585-.html?setCurrencyId=2 ) [I have no idea what digitizer means..i always thought it's the same as the touchscreen itself but that's not true.]
Or I find things like this LCD+Touchscreen or even cheaper this .
I know I need the big connector cable as mentioned in the first link of the digitizer offer but here the connector cable is suddenly on the side and not down to the keys...
Well,but it's the whole display package so I guess I need this...
I already have the right screwdriver for this work but I'm still not sure what to do/if it worth it.
Ok,the 70 Euro plus shipping..that's cheap but on the other hand the HD2 is already a bit old (but I still love Windows mobile and what do keep that).
So..any clues..suggestions?
my suggestion is to go for.. buy any LCD+Digitizer pre-assembly pack, check this videos link
and try by your self..
also many informations about the procedure you will find here link2
or here link3
take your time and you will be successful repair it at your own..
Thanks your these links but the thing is..I already know them and tried it as far as I could (which is why I already have the right screw driver for it). In the end I just scratched it more and more...
The thing is..I'm not really good at this - especially the display removing and heating part of the job. So I thought I could bypass that by simply replacing the whole display unit. Ok,still 70 Euro if I chose the second ebay link but that's way cheaper than the other ebay offer plus really really cheap compared to these send-in repair shops from the internet (about 200 euro then).
I'm just not sure if these are the right components or if there is a cheaper offer somewhere else.
I bought my LCD+Digitizer for 55USD with the shipping costs, from ebay.com.
It was from a China seller, not an OEM item for sure, but after all, my LCD was as a new one!!!
I also needed an adhesive tape like this one.
you should remember that you will need to detach the LCD+Digi from the middle metal plate frame bezel
and the only way is with heat. I tried with a hair drier..
And all went as is should be..
I'm sorry to dig this thread up but I just found my old HD2 and wondered if I could get it back to work.
Of course I need a new battery and stuff but actually it's still ok.
The concerning part is the glued display and the heat you need but now the HD2 gets older and the prizes drop so I saw a complete display (the glass, the screen and the touchpad-layer) on amazon for 60 euro.
Would you go for it?
I'm not quiet sure how to disamble the device but there are videos for that. And then it should work, right? There is no glue or duct tape or anything involved if I swap the whole display-component, right?

From the research I've done you'll need either super glue or 3m double sided tape.
