Digitizer is actually a touch screen digitizer is this piece of glass that you touch so when you're buying a touchscreen you're buing a digitizer

Hey all,
Had my HD2 for about 3 weeks now, while walking yesterday I tripped and fell, this caused the digitizer to break. I have contacted HTC on a quote for repair. Seeing as they quoted 200 euros, I can't afford to have it fixed. I do have the skills myself to fix the device, all I need is a replacement digitizer. After many hours searching I have yet to find one on sale.
The LCD panel underneath is fine it's just the digitizer that has been shattered. Stunningly it does still responds to input, but having small shards of glass in my fingers isn't ideal.
Can anybody here help?
Thanks in advance,

I have been able to find digitizers for other models from HTC on ebay.
But currently there isn't anybody offering a spare HD2 digitizer, Does anybody know how I may be able to get my hands on one?
I have vacuum packed my HD2 for now to stop corrosion. Hopefully I can find a replacement part soon.
Thanks for reading,

Hi! How did you manage to seperate the digitizer from the lcd without crushing the lcd?? I tried and now my lcd is useless I've found a new digitizer on ebay, but not the lcd screen, and I need both.. Do you know where I can find a new one??
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.
They sell a kit for 40 bucks comes with screwdriver and separation tool

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!
Had my galaxy tab 10.1 in my backpack and cracked the screen. Still works perfectly no display issues at all just a cracked screen so possibly the digitizer only? I can feel the touch cracks and such so thinking maybe the digitizer. But not sure so thought Id ask the experts before I went out and bought something lol
Maybe post a picture.
But yes it sounds like its just the digitizer that's broken. If the LCD gets damaged you will lose parts of the picture

Ouch! That really sucks. Was it in a case? I keep mine in a backpack and am always nervous about it, but I've been ok so far. I keep it between books. Was it from compression or was there point-pressure? If you do end up fixing it, take photos (or a video) as you go and create a how-to for this forum! Turn your personal loss into a community win!
Hi. Some time ago, my Nexus 7 fell and the digitizer broke in two parts. Screen works fine, but touch does not respond well. Some people sell a digitizer (not display, digitizer only) and I want to buy one, but I don't know how to replace it.
Any suggests?
Thank you.

Thank you! But I still don't know how to replace the digitizer...
You're probably going to have to replace the screen and the digitizer. Usually, the digitizer is "fused" to the screen. At least, that's how it's been with phones in the past as well as iPods, etc. Not sure about the Nexus 7, but I'm going to assume it's the same.So, you usually have to replace both because that's how they come.
Might want to research it more before ordering just the digitizer.

Thanks for the info, but...
You are saying that digitizer will not work, or they will be not "fused" but will work?

You want to buy where the screen and digitizer are already together (fused).
The fusing process is something that happens in a factory and if not done properly, will result in your screen not working via touch at all. Basically, your best bet is to just get glass and digitizer together where they are already fused. There are also some chemicals involved from what I remember and it's just not possible to do at home.

Okay. Thank you... Let's earn some money! Hehehe (It's so expensive...)
It is possible to replace the digitaliser you need to heat the screen and draw a piece of fine wire between the screen and the digitaliser the pros use a heat plate and gold wire but you can do it with a violin e string and a hot air gun the glue is very sticky and hard to remove

Hence, this is why I say just buy the screen with the digitizer attached already so you don't have to go through all this. I know I wouldn't want to!

All I'm saying is its possible not that its a good idea imagine trying to restick the new digitaliser with no air bubbles it would be like the screen protector from hell

No, I understand. It's possible, but for me, it's something I wouldn't want to tackle. I'd probably end up breaking something else.
When I had to replace the screen on my daughter's 2nd gen iPod, it was NOT fun. The digitizer was bad, so just replacing both was an exercise in frustration. I'd hate to imagine what I would have had to go through if I had to try and fuse the digitizer back to the original screen.
This is a chinese s4 phone, after dropping it glass broke and screen displayed these lines as shown in pictures. What i want to ask is should i change the glass only or does it need a new digitizer? touch screen responds well, no problem there. just these lines. anyone have any clue if this can be fixed without changing the digitizer?
Change both digitizer and display

It's clearly that both are broken - and the digitizer is glued to the display, so you must change them both.

Thanks for your fast reply So do you know maybe if i can find a cheap chinese digitizer? not worth buying the original one which probably is not compatible, correct?

Since this is fake Chinese S4 it's a real miracle to find part which is for your phone and one that works. LCD and Digitizer (glass) are not laminated in your case, so replacing them should be easy.

Don't think there would be a screen from a chinese knock off, and furthermore most of those parts aren't even genuine Samsung parts.
so not worth repairing a fake phone assuming you even can. buy something half decent at a 2nd hand store. hope you looked for malware on that phone before you started using it...
The glass might be glued to the digitizer, but it can also be unglued.
Take a blow dryer, set it on hot air and blow dry the phone. The glue will heat up and become liquid again. Use a guitar pick and try to pry the glass from the screen and slowly pull it off.
I've seen this being done once (on an original S4), so yeah, I'm sure it is possible.
After the glass is off you should see if it still has those lines or not.
