Hi, I have dropped my phone a while ago but only the digitizer was damaged. Today, I disassembled my digitizer using a heat gun but my LCD now is messed up (picture in the attachment). Do I need to buy a brand new LCD or is there any way to fix it?

unless one of the lcd cables got damaged/loose then you will need to replace the screen

8525 Digitizer Installation...
Hello,
I have an 8525 with a broken digitizer (LCD OK). I replaced the whole unit with a new combined LCD/Digitizer. It is a pretty straightforward repair. It took me all of about 15 minutes (you just need a #6 torx and a jeweler's phillips).
Just in case this happens again, I purchased a new digitizer (only). I want to remove the old digitizer from the LCD screen and replace it with the new one. The problem is: the digitizer ribbon cable is attached to the LCD screen, possibly soldered but I can't tell. Are there any instructions anywhere regarding the digitizer removal and installation?
Thanks
Im new to all this whats the digitizer exactly?
The digitizer is the top portion of the screen. It's what registers your stylus' contact on the screen. It lays on top of the LCD and it looks like 1 piece, but its actually two. And for those wanting to know if the digitizer is soldered, the answer is no. It's held in place with tape, but it is easier to just replace the combo instead of just the digitizer. Most often then not, when removing the damaged digitizer, it will crack and may possibly damage the lcd, or so I've read. I just recently cracked my lcd, so i got a combo and switched it out, just to have a scratch on the digitizer the following day. That's life. Waiting for my next new combo to come in the mail.
You'd be better replacing both the lcd and digitzer as 1 unit than try to unglue and reglue the digitizer onto your screen. A lot of hair pulling and screaming involved and no guarantees it'll work. For the $100Aud I'd just replace the lot in one hit. As markus1959 said its a 15 minute job but stuffing around with just the digitizer is a major hassle. Even Mike Channon (he's the hermes hardware guru) advises against that unless you're really into pain and frustration....
Cheers...
Hi,
from where do you all get a new LCD (+ digitizer).
My LCD is cracked (digitizer OK) so I need replacement.
I live in Switzerland and I can not find a shop with a reasonable price.
Hello,
i have a cigarette dropped on my touch screen and want a replacement screen for it. Where can i buy one ?
i have bought this: http://mobile.brando.com/htc-touch-diamond-2-replacement-lcd-display_p04369c0696d088.html
but this is the lcd, not the touch screen ???
you have to buy digitizer something like that

Exactly....But the touch screen digitizer is very hard to replace. I have taken mine apart only to find it near impossible to replace without damaging the rest of the phone. I only wanted to replace the housing, but you must replace the housing and digitizer together.
NOTE: If you attempt this, remember to remove the stickers over the little ribbon cables before sliding them out. Found that one out the hard way.
Your best bet would be to send it to hTc for a repair. I really wouldn't risk it if I were you... I only did because I have trianing in electronics.
oh ok, any ideas of the costs when sending it to a repair center ?
The repair cost me 157 euros for replacing the housing and touchscreen sensor.
And if you want to prevent further costs with such issues .... uh ... quit smoking
OK i just replaced the LCD on my HD2 and before i replaced the digitizer worked just fine no issues there or with anything else with the phone. Now after i replaced the LCD now the digitizer doesn't work. I went back to the placed where i purchased the LCD and they said that the digitizer is bad and not the LCD that they sold me. i thought maybe that the LCD might be bad cause that is where the digitizer plugs in to. So do think the guy is correct and the digitizer is bad and that i should buy the digitizer from him or do you think that it is a possibility that the LCD could be bad?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
GUYS I need to know if its possible to replace the TMOUS HD2's LCD only as its cracked .. the digitizer is perfect
mally
YES, it possible. I did it on my phone and firend bought one broken too on which i replaced lcd (not digitizer).
You have two ways. First is easy way.
Buy complected digitizer with lcd and you have done on hour.
Second way is buy only lcd and replace it. But there you must very very gently remove digitizer at lcd. This is littlebit tricky. You must use oven. Place oven to 50 °C and place your, attached digitizer and lcd, to oven. 10 minutes is enought. Now you can more easly detach old lcd at digitizer. Be very very careful and gently. You can scratch paint on digitizer on lcd side and also lcd itself. Attaching lcd to digitizer are used sticker adeshive tape. You need buy it too. I dont want advertize one ebay seller but you can use same dealer if you want. I had with that dealer many actions and all time all is correct. And he have most items OEM. Ebay seller name is kr-net.
I recommend first way if you do it first time or not opened any phone before.
Bestest way is give your phone to repair.

Thanks a lot for your inputs mate, the phone's DIGITIZER is perfect , the LCD is cracked, should i still be gentle , since LCD is already broke,,,,

Your digitizer is painted on bottom side on edges. If you scratch this paint you get scratched look later.
If you go change it itself, i anyway reccomend buy mounted lcd with digitizer. This work not easy deal.
And more. I readed over forum that someone have later digitizer sensity problems with no compatibility different lcd and digitizer. I cant confirm it. This what i changed works perfectly.
One hint is that HD2 and HD2 T-mobile have different lcd and digitizers. HD2 have soldered version and T-mobile not. You can see it on this ebay seller page, if you get one or another item detail look on seller shop page.
You can always contact www.ppctechs.com to fix it also.

Recently, my son dropped my HTC HD2(Europe/Greece version). The result was a broken screen. As I found out later, only the cover glass(digitizer) was broken and the LCD was OK.It even worked over the broken glass but it was dangerous to cut yourself anytime.
I looked in ebay and found a new digitizer at about $15. I also found a guide on youtube on how to open the HD2 and replace the digitizer. I followed all this steps (difficult and tricky but possible) just to find out that the ribbon cable of the old digitizer was welded(soldered) on the LCD. I found out after that, that there are 2 types of HD2. The one like mine and the (I think) T-mobile version which is with a connector.
I had no luck trying to mannually solder the ribbon cable on the LCD. I am not so good on that.
The next is to order a preassembled LCD with a digitizer. It costs about $40-$70 on ebay. It is a litle expensive, so I 'I try to keep it safe. Has anyone else experienced this situation? Are there different types of LCD as it is for the Digitizer?
Can anyone help me on making a corect decision?
Thank you

You should buy The T8585 model.
Don't worry if Tmobile is written on the screen.
