Looking for instructions or someone who has experienced taking an XDA apart in order to replace the touch-screen.
replacement screen
replacing the screen is a fairly easy job. You just remove the back screws, (you might need a small hex shaped screw driver) and prize appart. There are clips around the inside of the outer casing holding them together, then there are 2 small black screws on the main PCB. removing this will expose the back of the screen. Once you have done that you remove the four screws at the top and bottom of the screen, and its away. You will need to remove 3 ribbon cables that attach the screen to the main PCB, but other than that, job done.
Problem i have is i don't know where to get a replacement screen from, cos i smashed mine. If you find out, let me know.

Many different PDA screens, but I did not find XDA screens on it...
OH YES THEY DO!! trust me, ask them via email. Don't know why its not listed though I never did ask...
Price
And what did you had to pay for the xda screen?
Sceen
I am about to order one, I just recieved an e-mail from them.
They are 55 EUR posted to you.
I paid £40.inc vat & p&p.
It will ofcourse be cheaper to send within the UK, than to Norway...
Yeah! well we gotta have some benefits to livin' on an Island!!!
Hey, Montanna.
Was it as easy to put together as it was to take apart.
My XDA is in pieceses now, and I'm a litle worried :roll:
Everything will be fine, I know. But you get attached to the little guy
If I ever got to name a pda I'd call it Gizmo. U know, from Gremlins.
That would be a great theme btw...
Waddid ya attack the baby for?? hope yer modifying it, as for me it was easy for me to change the touchscreen but I am a tech-head anyway and luv my xda so any problems I tend ta sort immediately :lol:
another question
Is it the whole screen you ordered, or the touch screen or the lcd screen?
site seems bit tacky? are the legit? :?
Yes, they are legit...
Yes they are legit. They delivered very fast, and just what they promised.
But I ****ed up...
Stefan, that is something I didn't think of before I placed the order.
I needed the LCD, but I thought I only had to replace the screen. I thought “the screen” was one unit.
I didn’t read the mails I got from http://pdascreens.co.uk properly. They clearly said that they sell touch panels and nothing else.
Now I have 2 working touch panels and a broken LCD screen.
I bought my XDA on EBay, that is why I had to repair the thing myself. I am now thinking about selling it as “with broken screen” if anyone is interested…
I’ll never purchase anything this expensive on EBay again. Had I bought it from a store would this be the store’s problem, not mine.
that sucks
Damn, that sucks.
My lcd brooke when I fell and fell on my xda
I was very glad to read that they sold screens for 55 euro, to bad.
I also read that someone sent his xda to o2 for repair, and he had to pay 70 english pounds for a new screen and a new outer case.
Now I have sent mine for repair and got a letter from o2,
the costs wil be 289 euro. Woooooooooooow,
that was not what I was thinking about.
But I need the little thing and buing a new one is 599 euro so thats more than twice the repairing price.
I don't know what you paid for yours, but mayby O2 wants to repair yours to.
Stefan
Before you give up try contacting PDA screens international on www.palmscreens.com, and ask them VIA EMAIL if they know where you can get a 'LCM' for the XDA, they might be able to help you with advice on how to get your hands on the actual screens (LCM's) but you will have to be very specific as to whether is the its the complete screen or the touchscreen thats broken!!! in my case it was the touchscreen DON'T KNOW IF THEY REALLY CAN HELP BUT ITS A START AND IF THEY DON'T, WITH ENOUGH PEOPLE CONTACTING THEM ABOUT THE SAME THING......YA NEVER KNOW!!!!! I'm a big believer in people power so even if you've heard they don't, don't just stop there :evil:
Hello. I'm new here. But i do have some tips about replacing the Wallaby screen. www.Ipaqrepair.com is now repairing xda screens and digitizers in the US. Mine is being repaired at this moment. The only reason I don't have a warranty is i have a pre-production SX56 release. Anywhoo I thought some people in the US would like to know.
E-MAN
P.S. Ipaqrepair is changing it's name to PDAsmart.com at the end of the month and thats where they'll list it.
Removing the touch screen from the rest of the screen
I just succeeded in transplanting a touch screen from one xda to another. I almost gave up because it seemed the touch screen is glued to the rest of the screen. Now that does seem to be true but the glue isn't that strong ) Here's how I did it:
- Remove the screen module from the device
- On the top there's a yellow sticker, remove it
- Get a knife between any of the screen holders (where the four screws go) and pry the two pieces apart. You'll notice some strange sounds, this is just the glue letting go.
- You may have to use a knife to push the latches on three sides (all exept the side where the cables are) down.
- Only the bottom plate comes off and not the touch screen glass as I expected.
Good luck!
I'll have my digital camera back in a couple of weeks, if anyone is interested I can make some pictures of the process.
Hi
PDASmart sell both the screens and the touchpads
http://www.pdasmart.com/pdaphone.htm
I am looking to clean my xda 2i under the edges of the screen as this affects the tap accuracy.
Does anyone know of any kits, even ones involving funky screwdrivers so I can dismantle and clean (hopefully without pinging springs all over the place)
Rob
you dont need a kit just a bit of paper or thin card and run it around the edge of the screen under the facia, other than that just a standard small watch posi screw driver and a star screw driver driver, you can pick these up very cheaply, sry for got the size, if you buy a set of small ones you can strip it down in under 2 mins. there are no springs that will go ping btw

I have been doing that but unfortunately it does something but not the trick though!!! small watch posi and star screwdriver eh? I'll need to look out for those!
ps glad about the springs, thx!
hmm
well managed to take it all apart and put it all back together again.
Still same issue though, the top part of the screen is not very sensitive
in fact it looks like there is a semi circle of inactivity there!! I may need a new screen or digitizer! Is the digitizer easy to remove from the lcd screen? anyone got any ideas? also do I need to solder on the new connections?
also I am sure I saw someone talking about a new lcd screen for 10 quid or something here somewhere, it was a link to an external website...
it was just for the digitizer (the touch panel not the full tft), i picked one up on ebay, its hard to fit ;[
Hi thanks for responding....
Theres one on ebay that comes with a soldering kit and instructions.... was that like the one you got...?
plus being hard to fit, did you managed to fit it in the end, and if so what did you find that helped...
alternatively where can you get it fitted by a professional?
not seen that one, mine was just the digitizer, and i am no stranger to the use of a soldering iron, you could get a local single trader shop, the sort that sell second hand mobiles and does mobile repairs, to do it for you, for a price

Hi relbourn,
where can I find that all in one digitizer package from ebay ?
My O2 XDA IIi experienceing the same problem as you now :-(
I live in Australia, but still can't find any store which can do O2 digitiser repairs for me.
Cheers
I have had a look at it, and also took apart my xda 2i twice now for a check and decided that its a bit risky to do, re-soldering,
the kit model is here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=260199263230&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016
however I managed to find this screen (complete) from ebay too which includes the lcd screen, you may notice when you take yours apart it fits together with no soldering, kinda clips on, this looks far easier and for a slightly less than expected increment in price.....

on the second link to the full lcd screen it says tha it is for O2 xda2 or Qtek 2020, not O2 xda2i or Qtek 2020i... i-ve found on these forums that the lcds from the two models are different and you cant use from one model on the other... it doesn't fit... so search for a lcd for QTEK 2020i or O2 XDA2i
HI there.
I have searched through the forum looking at all the various solutions to fixing a broken LCD screen on the TyTn II. I unfortunately broke mine today however its just the LCD thats broken not the screen.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a reliable place to get the phone fixed in the UK or order replacement parts and Ill do it myself?
Is there a guide on how to do it yourself?
Finally, I had an HTC Vox before my TyTn II and its LCD broke as well...it makes me wonder of the integrety of the phone itself!
Thanks for any help in advanced!!

Try www.htclcd.com
all I can say is avoid gps midlands as this guy is a real waste of time and watch out for apex laptops as they tend to charge A LOT.
the best solution for You is insurance, mate... (unless You are confident enough to buy/replace screen Yourself)
think about it. if in doubts, pm for solution.

I have found a service on eBay that looks quite good but need a recommendation. Not sure which one I need:
Replacement LCD Screen:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=160228301787&Category=317&_trksid=p3907.m29
Replacement Touch Screen:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160228303474
My phone, when I turn it on is mainly white with black lines near where I broke it. The glass screen itself is neither cracked or damaged. Do I need a new LCD or Touch Screen?
Thanks again.
consider PROPORTA
For £10, they send you a package to put your device in - give you a quote for the repairs and you don't have to go ahead with it.
Worth it just for the quote, IMHO.
I just cracked the screen on my thrill :-(, I can still see and use everything on the phone just fine but I have a massive spiderweb, my question is, is it easy to find someone that replaces screens? and is the Thrills screen going to be particularly hard to replace because it's 3d?

You can buy parts on Amazon for fairly cheap. What area are you in?
You might find a phone repair service on Craigslist
Sent from my CM7 Thrill
according to my knowledge there is no connection between 3d thing and the front glass which u broke up. The stereoscopic panel is behind the screen. So the screen is a typical LCD capacitive one which you can replace. Screen+ degitalizer willc cost something around $45 .
thanks for the replies, I am in the Seattle area I looked on craigs list but all I can find are people who fix iphones. I guess I'll just buy the parts and attempt to fix it myself
Go to YouTube and after the / put this
watch?desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DBxKozJEY2RE&v=BxKozJEY2RE&gl=CA
Instructional video... good luck it doesn't look to challenging just remember ur parts as best as possible. There is a site written on the bottom of the video where u can get tools I do not know if it safe or not but it might help....also be careful around the boards with a screw driver if you slip and scratch your board you can permantly ruin your phone let us know how it went

Hello, i got for free Prestigio Multipad Thunder 8.0i 3G (PMT7787_3G_D), but screen is split, about half screen to one side of the cleavage is dead... But LCD is good, view is so clear and bright.
I try find out how change this model touch panel (she is from glass), but in russian forums i found just that to LCD with touch panel is full face glued and most people say that they spoils LCD when it try distinguish it from touch panel. Maybe something is to try to distinguish this model touch panel? I see in youtube some people separate LCD form touch panel with hot air fan-heater and strong fishing line, but some people in Russian forums says that the glue for this model is very hard (harder than Apple or Samsung). In internet china shops i see glass touch panels for this model in sale, it means that it is possible to change them, but how? Or for the new touch panel replacement match UV glues? Is this device worthwhile the risk to remove the touch panel and only buy touch panel (16$) , or if i failure to remove the touch panel and LCD will damaged simply forgetting that tablet pc, and maybe this device worth at once Buy the LCD with glued touch panel (60$)?
P.S. Many thanks for the answers in advance.
P.S.S. Sorry for my terrible english knowledge :/
I would say any device that you purchased for $60 is not worth repairing. If you do decide to repair it, then you'll need a heat gun which will cost you an extra $20 or so to buy. So you're going to pay at least $30 to repair a screen that might not survive the repair process.
I have people who lend for me good bosh heat gun, and i have good flat work table. I don't know where i can buy touch panel with glued lcd (ready to use LCD+touch) for best price, in aliexpress cheapest offers is out of stock... i write to services who repair touch screens, i got answer that cost me 30-50$ with parts and replacement, hmmm from they get screens :/ because i just find cheapest for 60$...
P.S. yes, this device is cheap now~100-150$ (i got for free) but it with Atom series intel procesor, is this procesor not a miracle? Good stereo, good 8" ips screen...
