Figure 1​
Pry up the back-top cover using safe open pry tool. Remove the two (2) screws using the T6 screwdriver located at the top of the phone.
Figure 2
Now you can carefully pry the screen assembly and motherboard from the back housing. It may take some time to work the assembly out of place.
Once the screen assembly and motherboard have been removed, remove the 2 torx T6 screws located in figure 3. You can now remove the lower assembly.
Remove the plastic housing on the back side of the assembly by using a safe open pry tool to carefully unclip the housing.
Figure 3​
The motherboard will now be exposed. Use a safe open pry tool to release the 3 connectors located on the motherboard. If the connection is a "jaw" connector, simply lift the lip and carefully slide out the cable.
Once the screen is completely released, you can take it out of the assembly.
Figure 4​
You can now heat the front of the screen assembly to warm the adhesive. Use a heat gun or hair dryer on a medium setting for about 45 seconds, using quick movements around the outside edges.
Use a safe open pry tool to pry between the touch screen digitizer and front frame, carefully releasing it from the housing. Reheat if necessary.
Carefully release the touch screen flex cable from the back of the screen assembly and feed it through the housing to fully remove the digitizer.
Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.

Here is a guide with photos about disassembly of HTC Legend.

You can't and shouldn't need to calibrate the screen. If its not responding correctly / fully check over the connections and install. If its still not working make sure there was no damage caused to the flex cable of the screen.

Thanks so much for drawings! It's very clear
I was thinking of repairing the USB port on my HTC Legend. I think one or two of the 4 pins for USB have come loose, so I was considering soldering them back on again.
Your guide, does it allow me to access the USB ports connections?
Cheers

Yes, follow the instructions in the guide that started this thread, which will show how to open up your device. Complete the steps in order to remove the touch screen (outer glass), and then clean out the dust. However, make sure you have the necessary tools for the repair (listed at beginning of the guide). Best of luck!

I did this on my phone today, because the digitizer was broken, the new screen works fine but the USB does not work, the computer says it's a unknown device, does not matter if i'm in android or fastboot mode and the SD card does not work either the phone does not see the card. Any ideas what can have happend?
Found a thread about fixing usb/sd error but for that i need to have "terminal emulator" but i did remove that from the phone long time ago, and since the sd dont work i cant download a APK either and for some reason Play store is also gone after screen change and the clock was reset, Im on CM 7.2

HTC Incredible Droid Screen Repair Take Apart Guide

Does the outer touch screen of your HTC Incredible Droid have been cracked or damaged? Is the inner display LCD not functioning properly or become damaged? Or are you just curious of the disassembly process on the HTC Incredible Droid? In this guide, you will learn the steps to properly take your Droid smartphone apart safely.
This guide will help you to install the following HTC Droid Incredible part(s):
HTC Droid Incredible Glass Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement
HTC Droid Incredible LCD Screen Replacement Display
Other Internal Replacement Parts, Flex Cables, Speakers, Housing, & More
Tools Required:
Safe Open Pry Tool
Small Phillips Screwdriver
T6 Torx Screwdriver
HTC Incredible Droid LCD and Touch Screen Glass Digitizer Screen Repair Take Apart Guide:
To begin taking apart your HTC Incredible Droid, you will need to first remove the backing and the battery. If you have any problems separating the two, you can use your open safe pry tool for assistance.
Next, there will be four screws that need to be removed—one at each corner. Remove them using your small Phillips head screwdriver as shown in figure 1.

Figure 1​
There are clips between the glass and the backing that will need to be pried and released as you go. Using your open safe pry tool, you will gently release these clips. You may need to work the open safe pry tool gently back and forth to separate the two.
Once you have released the clips, you should be able to easily raise the back cover of the phone. Set this aside along with your screws.
Next you will need to remove the track pad from the bottom of the phone. To do this, use your open safe pry tool to release the jaw connector, as shown in figure 2. Then you can remove the track pad.
Figure 2​
You will now need to release three more jaw connectors to be able to release the ribbon cable. There are two on the sides, appearing as small pieces of flexible metal, and one on the bottom. Release these gently using your open safe pry tool, and then you can disconnect the ribbon cable beneath.
Once the ribbon cable has been released, you can remove the two small screws that are holding the mother board in place using your Phillips screwdriver. These two screws are diagonal from each other, with one at the bottom left, and the other on the top right.
Now that you have removed the two screws, you will be able to gently remove the mother board using your fingers, as shown in figure 3.
Figure 3​
Now you can begin to remove the LCD screen from the frame by removing the two small screws located at the top.
Once you have removed these screws, you can remove the LCD screen by using your open safe pry tool to gently separate the frame from the screen, as pictured in figure 4.
Figure 4​
Once you have pried the LCD screen apart from the touch screen, you can easily replace the screen with your new one by reversing all the steps to achieve a phone that is like new again.
The HTC Droid Incredible is now disassembled and you can replace the damaged part(s) with new ones. Reverse the instructions above to reassemble your phone.

We now also have a downloadable version of this guide in PDF format which can be downloaded here - HTC Droid Incredible Repair Guide

No problem. Glad we could help!

I'll add that if your replacement LCD does not fit "perfectly" don't force it. I have personally experienced DINCs LCD vendors misrepresenting the model of the screen which only served to cause a big headache.

I had actually followed this guide and got stuck while removing the LCD. The LCD was completely glued to screen digitizer and while applying a little force to remove the LCD, it cracked and stopped working. So be very careful when removing the LCD.
I have one more question though. My camera glass is cracked. It does not affect my ability to take images or shoot videos, however is really annoying when someone notices it. While opening my phone, I saw that the camera is actually assembled on the motherboard using some kind of a mechanism. Can you guide me how to replace the camera piece?
Thanks for your help

followed this guide and it worked perfectly

Do I need adhesive strips for replacing the earpiece speaker?

Thanks for such a nice hands-on guide.

Motorola Droid X Take Apart Repair Guide

If you have any issue with your outer touch screen and inner LCD screen, this is the Droid X take apart repair guide that will help you take apart the Droid X fairly easily in a step by step manner giving you a chance to replace faulty parts.
This guide should help you replace the following parts:
Motorola Droid X Touch Screen Digitizer
Motorola Droid X LCD Screen Replacement
Motorola Droid X Replacement Battery
Tools:
Small Phillips Screwdriver
Safe Open Pry Tool
Heat Gun/Hair Dryer
Motorola Droix X Take Apart Repair Guide:
The first step is to power down the phone and slip open the battery door so that the battery of the Droid X can be removed.
Removing the U-cover and the top cover is the first task at hand which can be achieved by unscrewing the two screws to using the Small Phillips Screwdriver as shown in the figure below.

}
This next step involves locating and removing the four screws (2 on the top and 2 on the bottom) on the front end of the phone. These screws are hidden behind covers which should be removed by inserting the safe open pry tool into one end of the phone twisting it to one side till you hear a click which signals that the plastic latch has been unlocked do this for all three sides of each of the two covers. You should also now be able to remove the U-Cover located on the bottom of the phone using the safe open pry tool.
The next task at hand is to remove the back housing of the Droid X. This can be achieved by inserting the safe open pry tool into one end of the phone and running it along its edges. However be careful because the digitizer cable and the flex cable are hidden under the back cover which can easily be damaged if you apply too much force.
You will now need to remove the motherboard of the Droid X which begins with disconnecting the flex cable and digitizer cable (on the right of the phone) from the motherboard using the safe open pry tool. The flex cable can be pried right off while the digitizer cable will first need to be unhooked and then pulled out.
The motherboard pops right out, but be careful because there is a cable attached to the other end of the board which will need to be unfastened prior to being able to completely remove the motherboard. You can use the safe open pry tool to disconnect that cable as you slightly dangle the motherboard to insert the pry tool through.
In this next step you will have to take apart the digitizer and LCD assembly which are separated by a middle plate. There are around thirteen screws securing the middle plate to the digitizer and LCD which need to be removed using the small Phillips screwdriver prior to prying out the middle plate. Also make sure that there aren't any small clips attached to the plate prior to pulling it out.
Once you separate the LCD and digitizer the Droid X is now completely disassembled.
There you have it, the Droid X is completely disassembled. You can now replace old or faulty parts prior to putting everything back together following this guide in reverse.

Nice write up....
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium

Thanks. Glad you found it useful.

Great write up, came in helpful as I had to replace my LCD and digitizer, BUT, after I had replaced them, my phone went into bootloader mode, I flash the SBF .602 and it went great, you know 10-12 minute write time. I followed all the steps to a T. Pulled the battery, power button + home button, goto recovery wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache then reboot. when it boots back up I get the red Motorola symbol for 10-15 seconds then goes to the green android guy with the yellow ! mark, double volume buttons and goes back to recovery. Any idea to why this happens???? I SBF'ed 3x's with different disks just to make sure it wasn't a bad disk. Gave up on it and said to heck with it and put the old parts back together and everything worked fine.
Just a heads up with what I have: DroidX, Rooted, sys 4.5.602, Android ver 2.3.3, pretty much stock except for root. I did buy this phone used off EBay, everything works except Vibe and the LED notification light. The LCD and digitizer are from another phone that didnt have a motherboard so I just swapped out mine.
Thanks a bunch if you or anyone has an idea to why I am having this issue from swapping out the motherboard.

Make sure that none of the buttons are being pressed down during boot. This can happen if you have not put the housing back on correctly and this can cause the issue you have.

awesome repair guide, thanks for the info.
quick question. ive got a lovely droid x i found in a parking lot....run over. completely. most of the components (emi shields at least) look like theyre dented/pressed in but they could be in alright shape, i dunno. any insight? i could post pictures...
the entire assembly is completely worthless but i can replace all that relatively cheaply. i dont know about the esn or anything else (id rather not repair a phone that techinically belongs to asurion....)
edit: looking for a droid x to swap motherboards with, see if this one is alright. i think the main thing im checking is the motherboard, everything else is external and relatively cheap. (relatively). a buddy of mine is lookin to pick up a cdma droid and this could be his new phone.

Thanks for the great write up . There are alos couple of videos out there on y-tube etc which can compliment the write-up .

Sounds like you have plenty of parts to replace. We have numerous parts for this device available on our site. A link can be found in our signature.

thank you, one addition
Thanks for this post. One extra note, the main microphone grommet is likely to fall out while you're opening the case, so work over a table and keep an eye out for it. It's a little rectangular piece of rubber with a raised hole in the middle and a
"hook-like" extensions on the sides. Looks like this:

or if that link goes stale, try an image search:

When re-assembling, the grommet fits over the main microphone, just before replacing the lower "U-cover".

Using a safe open pry tool, you will need to release 8 clips which are divided evenly around the outside edges (4 on the long sides and 2 on the shorter sides)
Now you have access to the battery. Remove the 2 small Phillips screws holding the battery in, located near the under the camera and flash
Use the safe open pry tool gently lift up and release the battery flex cable
Disconnect the white antenna cable next to the battery and move it out of the way of the battery
You will need to apply heat using a hot hair dryer or heat gun to the battery for about 20 seconds around the edges of the battery. This will loosen the adhesive holding it firmly in place.\
Next using a small Phillips screwdriver, you will need to remove 9 screws around the outside of back cover
Once the screws have been removed you can then release 3 clips holding the back cover in and remove. There are 3 clips total, one by the loud speaker and two on each side by the screw holes as shown here
Next step is to remove the loud speaker housing. Remove 2 small Phillips screws holding this housing in place in order to remove the housing
Now you can disconnect and remove the antenna cable
You can now remove the Micro USB charging port connector by releasing its pop connector and gently peel away this flex ribbon which is held in by a bit of adhesive
Using a safe open pry tool lift up and release the LCD and touch screen digitizer pop connectors which will allow you to remove the camera
Release the cameras pop connector. You can simply pull the camera out once this has been done
Do the same for the headphone jack at the top of the device. You can wiggle and remove the headphone jack which is held in by a bit of adhesive as well.
Now that all connections and components have been released/removed from the main board you can push in the SIM card tray release and the main board will lift away with ease if it does not then make sure all connections have been released on the board
The final step is to remove the green volume button and power button flex cables and once this is done you are ready to replace the screen assembly

Nice guide but do you have pictures of the internal guts with a camera instead of the the ones you posted? That would give a more clearer picture of the parts and where to locate them on our phones.
I think this thread should be placed here instead:

Any ZE551KL disassembly videos or photos?

I was hoping to find any information at all that might suggest that the ZE551ML screen can be used on the ZE551KL. I haven't wanted to disassemble my phone, in case I decide to opt for an official screen replacement. Unfortunately, I haven't found any disassembly guides or photographs or videos yet.
Thanks!

I started my repair of the ZE551KL today. After you remove the user replaceable battery and the screws that allow you to take off the plastic shell, it appears quite different than the inside of the ZE551ML as seen in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=5X0dkhKNqm4
There's a coaxial cable in the same spot as it is in the ZE551ML, and two ribbons pulled through the top portion of the motherboard which are presumably the display cables.
But how one would go about removing the mother board to gain access to the display assembly and metal backing plate I have no idea. I suppose I have no choice but to poke and prod at it a bit, same goes with removing the ribbons before I attempt to remove the motherboard. Is there even a separate daughterboard at the bottom of the phone like the ZE551ML?
Another thing I can already see being an issue is that the display seems to be fused to the frame of the phone with something incredibly strong. They appear to be just one solid piece of metal/plastic. I guess I'll cross that bridge if I ever get to it.
Attached image: Phone with broken display assembly still attached, next to replacement display assembly sitting face down.
The replacement part that I bought: ebay.com/itm/272208004464 (NEW ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser 5.5 ZE551KL LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly) by seller: wwon_one

}

OK, that ended up being pretty easy. There's no difficult battery removal like with the ZE551ML, the motherboard is one solid unit, and the top speaker does not need to be detached and glued back into place. Also, the coaxial cable disconnects with a user friendly plug made for human fingers, although my memory is fuzzy on whether you actually need to disconnect it at all, but that will all be self evident as you take the phone apart.
There motherboard is one solid unit with an L shaped arm extending towards the bottom of the phone. It's merely snapped in place with a few plastic tabs that are stretched outward or pushed inward to release the motherboard from the the frame below.
The coaxial cable's connections are NOT removed at the positions I have highlighted, instead there is a user friendly plug that you can almost make out in the photo which resides to the left of the bottom (non-removable) coxial connection point I previously pointed out in the diagram. To reiterate, I'm not sure whether the coxial connection requires manipulation or if it just sort of pops in and out of place on it's own as you take the phone apart. Unlike the ZE551ML, the top speaker will remain attached and doesn't need to be refastened with adhesive.
At the bottom left of the phone there is a soft, black rectangular rubber module which disconnects that is either the speaker or the vibration motor. At any rate, it's easy to reconnect when you reassemble the phone. Pulling the two display cables through the bottom of the motherboard is essentially the same as you'll see in a ZE551ML repair video. Prior to that, disconnecting the old display ribbons took a surprising amount of force, but since they are part of the broken part of the phone you are replacing, there isn't much to lose.
The most challenging part of the repair is separating your old broken screen and display assembly from the frame of the phone without breaking that thin, plastic frame. You'll need something that can function as a plastic spudger tool to pry the screen free and something to apply heat to the edges of the phone to make that possible in the first place. I used a hair dryer that was disappointingly hot at maximum heat. As a result, I probably used excessive force and created a small break in the thin plastic frame of the phone in the process of removing the old screen, but it's really no worse for the wear. Contributing to my minor error was the fact that I used a plastic cake knife that I imagine had a thicker taper and larger initial contact point than the ideal plastic prying tool.
In order to secure the new display assembly in place, you'll want to buy double sided adhesive tape made for phone repair as suggested in the youtube video for repairing the ZE551ML. From the research I did, it seems well worth the 6 to 10 dollars instead of trying to use super glue or the existing adhesive left behind (what's left behind won't be strong enough to seat the display assembly perfectly, which is supposedly what you need for the phone to survive minor falls in the future, as well as perhaps for the touchscreen to function perfectly.)

Here is a partial disassembly video I found.
It's actually more like a motherboard teardown, but you can follow it up to 1:20. After that, peel away the top-left display cable. Then heat up the edges of the screen from the front side, while using a tool to pry the glass screen from the plastic housing.
