Figure 1​
Remove the 5 Torx Screws from the Chassis located in Figure 2. Remove the flash cable connector from the motherboard to the flash frame camera. Use a safe open pry tool to pop the black antenna cable from the motherboard and upper board.
Figure 2​
Then remove the keyboard flex cable connector from the motherboard. Do this by using a safe open pry tool to lift up on the alligator clip, and remove the ribbon. Remove the label located below the battery.
Pop the white cable from the GPS unit located in the left top corner and work your way to the motherboard. Remove the GPS board.
Now, release the volume flex from the housing. Use a safe pry tool to remove the adhesive holding the motherboard flex cable in place.
You can now flip the motherboard and flex to the side, exposing the LCD flex cable connector. Use a pry tool to move the clip forward and release the cable as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3​
Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the front of the digitizer, working in quick movements for 1-2 minutes.
Slide a safe open pry tool along the edges to remove the metal housing from the screen assembly as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4​
Remove the buttons from the lower portion of the digitizer. Slide a pry tool in between the LCD screen and digitizer to separate the two.
You can now replace either the touch screen digitizer or the LCD screen
Now you will be able to replace any parts on your HTC HD2. Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.

Hi repairsuniverse, have you heard anything about landscape mode not being enabled after screen replacement. I've heard about it in the android forums, but couldn't find why it would happen.

Hello guys!
My friend has an HTC HD2. The digitizer flax cable broke 6 months ago. And the phone is currently disassembled, and still turns on, but I failed to remove the digitizer from the LCD, so the glass has some cracks on the sides...
We are planning to revive that thing, but I'm afraid it would not last too long... So if I buy an LCD+digitizer (non telstra or T-mobile model) is it possible to protect the flex cable from the hungry power button? With what should I cover it? Duct tape? Originally some cloth was the protector, but it has been run-down...

Hello there
I was just about to make a thread and I seen this.
OK well here is the quick story.
I basically found this phone In a parking lot with the main part of the phone, the back cover(with the plastic protective film from when you first buy it on there), and the battery seperated from each other a few feet apart.
After some quick looking I found I was a fascinate sch-i500, and it seems as if it was a brand new phone before this damage was done to the screen...kinda weird it would be. As you can see, the screen is cracked/ damaged pretty good BUT what I also quickly noticed was that it seems certain things are functioning. The on screen capacitive buttons light up and the phone vibrates. While I obv can't see, the phone is responding to my touches from certain sounds I'm hearing.
In trying to get this phone back to life, I would like to try to spend as less as possible. Now I have never replaced a phones LCD before so I can say I don't quite understand it all.
What I dont understanding is how can the touch screen be cracked as bad as it, yet it still seems to be functioning as it should?
This digitizer that you guys refer to, is this a must in this replacement or can I just replace the cracked screen. Id like this project to cost me as least as possible
Like I said I'm glad I came across this thread before I made my own thread. I hope you guys can help me out.
Thank you to the op and the xda community.

On this model the LCD and the glass touch screen digitizer are fused together. To fix the phone you will need the screen replacement. You can find this screen here - Samsung Fascinate Screen Replacement
Simply swap the screens over and your phone will be like new again.

Hey your reply is very much appreciated.
I see that the price is. 109. I did some searching. I can get a used fascinate for half that price. Lol So you can see why I wouldn't want to spend 109.

It is possible to replace just the outer touchscreen digitizer? The lcd screen of my phone still working in a perfect condition.

We strongly recommend replacing both the LCD and touch screen. The two parts are fused together and can be extremely difficult to separate.

So I have a cracked screen and I purchased a new screen on ebay a few months ago. I took my entire xoom apart and tried to put the new glass on my xoom, but found that the Old cracked glass had a plastic housing attached to it. Looking at your site, it looks like you've got the glass for 80 bucks, does this have the plastic housing attached to it?

No, the glass doesn't come with the plastic housing. You simply attach the glass to the original housing.
Our customer service guys can assist further with the install if required.

If the device is already cracked then physical damage already voids most warranties. Insurance on the other hand will cover damage or loss.

I have a few questions about the touchscreen replacement. My touchscreen is responsive but some areas are now dead. I tried playing around with the touchscreen controller - PCB - but that did not improve anything.
Now, do I need to remove all the screws for the battery/ camera/ speakers, etc. if I just need to replace the touchscreen?
In other words, is a full dis-assembly really needed?
In other words, can I skip removing the screws in figure 2 and figure 3 and jump directly to figure 4.
Also, I see several videos which indicate that the touchscreen replacement part has to be fixed to the 'mid-frame'; this means I have to use a heatgun. No other options to avoid the heatgun? e.g. buying some other replacement part which comes with the mid-frame?

Figure 1​
Now that all the screws are removed. Use a safe open pry tool around the outer edges of the back plate to release the clips holding it in place.
With the backplate removed, you now have access to the motherboard. You need to disconnect 5 flex cables and the antenna wire as located in Figure 2.
Then the two Phillips screws holding the mainboard in place.
The side button contacts are stuck to the frame, you need to separate them before removing the board. Be careful not to tear the cables as they are very delicate. These are located in Green on Figure 2.
Figure 2​
Now, you can remove the motherboard.
With the motherboard removed we can now release the screen assembly from the housing. Use a heat gun or hair dryer on the front of the screen around the outside edges. Keep the heat on medium and use quick movements over the screen, not staying in one place for too long. This should take 30-60 seconds.
This will soften the adhesive enough to remove the screen assembly from the housing. Use a safe open pry tool to release the front frame from the screen assembly.
The screen can now be replaced, just be cautious with the flex cable being fed through the housing.
Reverse the instructions above to reassemble your phone.

Did you buy just the glass on its own? Or the glass with the LCD screen?
It is not possible to replace just the glass on this model as the screens are fused together. However some eBay sellers will still sell it even though it is not usable.

We don't carry the LCD's by themselves and it is not recommended to do so as the screens are bonded together and using a full screen assembly is much wiser.

do you have any idea of what size Phillips screwdriver you have to use?

My home button is dying. Do I need separate the LCD and outer glass screen to remove the home button PCBA?

Thank you, good initiative! Hopefully won't be many in need of this but just in case
Could you add specialized replacing (screen, charger assembly, mic etc)? I know there's several videos out there. What would also be good is have a document attached here (pictures on image-hosts tend to get lost after some time) for reference.

There's a MUCH easier way....
When I was searching for a screen replacement for my Focus, I came across two options. One is the glass, digitizer and LCD combo. Which requires the steps in this write up, and the video that you'll find on youtube. Heat gun, new adhesive, etc.
Along with that option, there is another item that is the glass, digitizer, LCD already installed in the front half of the frame. It comes with the earphone jack already installed. And maybe a few other odd bits. All you have to do is take your phone apart, remove your motherboard with camera and vib motor, and install it in the new chassis. Thats it.
Best part about option #2... ITS THE SAME PRICE AS JUST THE GLASS/LCD/DIGI! I paid $95 shipped. In my opinion, you cant beat it. Even if the heat gun method was only 50 bucks...I would still pay more for the whole frame. Its so easy, so quick, and the best part, you dont have to worry about the new screen popping off because the adhesive failed.
Just my $.02!

For a more detailed repair take a look at our Focus video repair guide. It is a great addition to this take apart guide.
