Recently the digitizer gave up the ghost and cracked into a million pieces after being dropped. I ordered a replacement which arrived today and proceeded to follow the instructions on youtube on diassembly and installation. After going through erverything and putting the phone back together the phones LCD now displays a screwed up image. I took everything apart and checked all the connections and everything seems to be fine. Has anyone else had this problem, did I mess up my LCD somehow?
It's either defective or has a bad connection/ribbon cable most likely.

I am wondering if I could replace the screen without any troubles. Can this HD2 be fixed like new by replacing the glass screen and the digitizer?
[EDIT] The Screen was still working 1-2 weeks later, then after that the screen stopped working... So I'm thinking something is wrong with the screen digitizer but I'm not do sure.

So its a problem with the digitizer right? And then I could fix it and it will work again?
That depends upon your skill and abilities
My professional advise is either to use professional to install or to purchase LCD and digitizer in one unit, even though your LCD is fine. There is no glass screen and digitizer, there is LCD and digitizer, neither of which you will be able to install separately, given your question.
Ok thanks every one for replying!
Hi. I have been following the guide but after finishing everything successfully, the new screen is irresponsible. Any ideas?
The broken one was working, but I had to replace it because of the screen itself, too. The new one cool, but seems like I connected something wrong, or forgot anything (even if I checked it three times already): it doesn't want to react on my fingers and the main buttons don't work, too. They just light up for a few seconds when I turn the phone on, but don't work after the system is up.
Don't know if any of these will help:

I've been to those, I had a nice luck not breaking anything while repairing and my tablet seems brand new now. I was wondering whether anyone knows WHY my screen doesn't respond anymore, also, another question regarding the buttons.
I did mine recently. Did you open the zif connectors on the 3 ribbons when you reinserted them?
The 2 brown ones flip up on the same side the cable enters and the black one flips up on the opposite side.
If those are all correct, you may just have a faulty touch panel
Most likely one of your mylar connectors is not inserted properly and not making contact.
I did my screen replacement last week. At first screen didn't work. Turns out I didn't flip the good the brown locks in the right side. They need to be flipped towards the side of the ribbon. After that my phone is like brand new after screen recalibration.

I've just broken my screen (again). I've used my free Dell repair and my insurance claim with no excess so I'm left with having to replace it myself.
Can anyone recommend a supplier on ebay?
I'm not too sure if I need to buy an lcd and gorilla glass separately. I have damaged the lcd and have a leak in the bottom corner. The gorilla glass is untouched.

Hey all,
I replaced my girlfriends shattered digitizer a couple of weeks ago. Everything went great. I attempted to reuse the adhesive that was originally on the phone but alot of it was not any good.
So after putting it back together using what i could for the adhesive, the phone booted up and worked fine. But after sometime of using it my girlfriend started to complain about it not responding to touch correctly. Random times when touched it would act like she was touching somewhere completely different. Or it would act like it wasn't even being touched. To fix that issue you have to put it to sleep and then reactivate.
A good example would be if you were on the phone dial pad and trying to press 9 it would press 2 or 5 or 1. Or sometimes it would just not activate anything. Sometimes it would even "press" something without it ever being touched.
I did replace my old iphone digitizer and had the same issue. Not sure how to fix it. My only other thing i can think of is maybe getting some adhesive and applying. But i want to see if anyone has had this same issue or if they have a fix?
We've reset the phone to factory settings, rebooted. I have no more ideas.
Also where cna i get mytouch 4g adhesive?
Bump....anyone?

This thread might help you out. Someone in there also mentioned that you can use the same adhesive used on iphones, or 3M adhesive(whatever that is..)
Hope this helps you out a bit.

Hi there, this is what I use to re-adhere digitizers when I repair iPhone digitizers and MyTouch 4G digitizers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/37051618015...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1118wt_1141
Make sure that all connections inside the phone are properly connected, the issue with your girlfriend hitting a button and the touch not responding correctly usually indicates a defective digitizer or that a connection came loose or maybe moisture got underneath which will cause the digitizer to fail.
I hope this helps !!
I have the same issue. I replace one digitizer for a customer and she complained of certain spots not responding.
I replaced one on my phone and it does not respond in some places. Like i wouldnt work when its on horizontal mode.
I would draw a straight line on a drawing app and it goes down fine and get crooked towards the bottom area. almost like a lightening symbol.
The digitizer i got is not original. One of my original digitzer is acting up too. Tried it on different phones and its still the same.
I also tried using the adhesive tapes.
This is too much of a problem.. Wonder what the issue is...
It'd be ncie if we could get some more advice here. Or even some more reports of this issue.
@krnchonnom: Where did you purchase the digitizer? I picked mine up for repairs universe. Wonder if they got a bad batch.
I replaced my Digitizer this past week and I'm now expeirencing the same thing... Has anyone proven that using new adhesive solves the problem? This is the adhesive I used when replacing mine, http://www.repairsuniverse.com/adhesive-strips-for-touch-screens.html
Hey I had the touchdcreen problem after the OTA update from T-Mobile a couple of weeks ago. Now for the last two days it disappeared. I think it was software related...

How could it be software related when I never had a problem with my old digitizer before and after I shattered it...
I took apart my phone once again today and spent about 2 hours sizing and cutting new adhesive strips and it appears that I have relieved the issue so that it only happens now and again, thus allowing some use out of the phone but now the digitizer is stuck to the LCD and making part of my screen looks like a piece of glass on top of some liquid ready to go under a microscope... I'll put up a pic tomorrow.
I'm just about to the point where I might just purchase a digi+LCD assembly instead.
Sooo. .. you guys replaced the digitizer and still no go, but cannot fathom it may be software related... May not be but mine was when stupid T-Mobile said it was hardware. I would type a certain letter yet it would type three others making it impossible to text. Just sharing my experience. Hope you guys figure it out.

here is what it looks like
problem solved. My adhesive tape was too thin. I doubled the adhesive up and now I'm good, except for the intermittent unresponsiveness. I have to lock the screen and unlock it again to get it to work again...
I'm about to tear back into my wife's MT4G for this same issue. She cracked the screen a couple months back and had to use a MT3G for a while!
I bought several busted MT4G's off of ebay to tear down before I took hers apart. It really helped knowing where there are snaps and screws and such before you do the real thing.
Hi. I purchased an Evo 4G from some dude on Craigslist. I verified the ESN was clean via checkesnforfree.com and I was well aware it had a cracked digitizer. I purchased a new one via ebay and it came in today. I watched YouTube videos over and over as well as followed the steps on ifixit.com and thought I did it right. That is until I turned it on and it vibrates and then the screen flashes white briefly and then that's it. It remains dark.
Any ideas as to whether it is a faulty digitizer? I have checked, re-checked and even re-checked to ensure that the cables was set in snugly and that the latches were latched.
Again, the phone was working just fine prior to me replacing the digitizer. It was dim but it responded to the touch and all buttons seemed to function normalls including the camera and speakers.
Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated. Feel free to email me as well.
Thanks in advance.
Take the battery out, replace it, does the phone turn on while holding volume - ?
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
That sounds more like the LCD is bad. If you say the screen was dim, that's the LCD, not the digitizer.
I had that same problem, but it turned out the ribbon for the lcd was not fully inserted. So I pushed it in more and it turned on.. Hope this helps.

replacing digitizer, I bent a couple of hair wires on one of the brackets!!
I bought the evo 4g a while back for 400 bucks, within a few weeks I dropped the phone cracking the digitizer. Done a ton of research on how to fix it, then ordered a new one plus all the tools to fix it on Amazon. while I was putting it back together, I was super careful returning them to their brackets, however, a couple of the tiny little hair sized wires on the base bracket bent crossing over some of the others, I tried to straighten them out but of course this didn't work I suppose, when I got it all back together, the phone will not turn back on. I have looked in millions of online places on what I can do but found nothing, I have also called the Sprint repair store who basically laughed at me and said I threw away 400 bucks. the only thing I can think of aside from tossing my money in the trash, is hope and pray that I can find someone with some extra brackets and hope and pray I can somehow replace it without screwing it up again. Please PLEase PLEASE, if anyone can help me at ALL I would be so very greatful!!!
I have an original Nexus 7 bought right when it came out and have not had any issues with it. Recently the glass was cracked so I purchased a touch screen and digitizer and decided to replace it myself.
Things went well , only had a little difficulty separating the bezel adhesive but did get it off successfully. Connected everything and reassembled easily but when powering on the screen is all red background instead of black. Can see the Google logo in white clearly and the boot animation but everything that should be black is red. I rechecked all the ribbon cables and everything is secure.
Any ideas as to what the problem may be now? Could it be the small LCD to motherboard cable was damaged during removal and needs replaced?
Thanks for any help.

Well I just ordered a new LCD to motherboard ribbon cable off eBay for $8. I'll report back of that fixed it or not. If not time to save up for a new one I suppose.

I am happy to report that replacing the LCD to motherboard ribbon cable solved my issue. Hopefully someone else will find use of this one day.
