Hello i was wondering if this would be easy too do? i want to replace the housing and the digitizer i have read the service manual but it seems like this phone has quite a few parts that need to be taken to pieces to just replace the parts
anyone ever do it?

I have had my phone open a few times...
1) To replace Vario III case with Kaiser case
2) To fix faulty keyboard, had to bend some of the aluminium on the bottom of the keyboard unit.
So I know my way around inside and haven't broken anything... yet!
Anyway, my screen is very scratched so I want a new digitizer, they're significantly cheaper than a whole LCD assembly. I got one for £5, the assembly is over £30.
I did read on some thread that the digitiser WILL perish as I separate it from the LCD screen. Is this true? If so how easy is the clean up job?
Also, the official kaiser service manual shows the LCD and Digitiser held together with tape on the outside and not double sided tape or glue like the actual assembly looks like.
Has anyone done this before? Is there a decent risk of damaging the LCD itself or to be on the save side should I just buy the whole assembly?
I have the digitiser here and ready to go as long as I can get some info from someone who has tried this.
Cheers
Sorry bump.
to be honest there will be soldering involved and u need special equipment for that ribbon
look at http://rapidshare.com/files/103168855/HTC_Kaiser_Service_Manual_jas_pik.pdf
there is detailed procedure and all the tools needed, i believe the tools are basics, and i dont think they will be expensive to have, as matter of fact, i think buying a tool box is an asset.
best luck ...
Hi!
The service manual linked to does not specifically contain information about replacing the digitizer, just how to assembly it.
Do I need a certain kind of black tape to attach it? Is that the only way it is connected to the LCD itself?
Mine is also very scratched, and I would like to replace it, preferably done by myself.
Any tips?
Cheers
a good insulation tape (anti-static prefered) will do the job

Hey all,
I checked with a PDA technician, that is willing to replace the digitizer for me, at a reasonable price. The thing is, he told me that there are 2 types of Diamonds. One that the digitizer is glued to the LCD, and thus can only be replaced as a whole unit together with the LCD, and another one that can be replaced easily.
Does someone here know what he's talking about? How can I tell which Diamond I have?
Thanks a lot
hi, i have my phone opened, and i dont know how to replace digitizer on my LCD screen which i take from phone
Please Urgently.. Thx. Mike
P.S. Must i open LCD scr.?
I'd advise replacing the whole screen as digitizer is glued to screen, there is guides to how to replace the screen which can be found via search one of them is very easy as just remove the four screws from behind the screen.
Good luck
If your only replacing the digitizer, which isn't easy I have done a few.
You will need to carefully remove old digitizer, I heat up the digitizer where it's glued and remove it, it will come off in pieces (glass).
then clean residue glue off lcd frame.
then glue the new digitzer.
last part is soldering the connector on the digitzer to the connector on the lcd it's not easy, it can be done with solder iron but I use a rework station makes it 100 times easier.
good luck
now it isnt urgently.. on night i closed phone.. but it is strange.. my slide effect is strange.. whn i put phone on table, so UP part (LCD,action buttons) is little moved right than DOWN part.. for ex. i think this slide after closing has opposite direction !BUT ONLY LITTLE (1mm)!
thanks for advice..
and i think this thread can could be good tread for everyone who dont know what to do with LCD. As me
I would also advise to replace the entire screen. They are easily sourced from a well known auction site and most will supply the opening tools and a screen protector.
A simple web search will find the service manual to open your pda. There are tuts for replacing the screen by removing the 4 screws behind the screen and pulling the housing apart to slide the screen out. Bewarned that if you are too forceful you will damage the mic and other parts that are still screwed to the board.
I bought two Xda stellars some time back. Both needed a lil TLC. One a scratched screen the other the housing was badly scuffed. Having repaired a few PDAs, I thought I would ask an independant store to see what they would charge (labour only as i would supply parts). He quoted £20 for each phone, have a look at the service manual see the steps to take it apart and reassemble ask yourself for the sake of £20 is it worth the aggro.
Good luck with your replacement, I hope this helps and any others who encounter similar issues.
is it possible to use a raphael lcd replacement and install it on the kaiser? thus allowing a higher dpi?

Simple answer, No !
ok, on kaiser i can use only kaiser LCD? (no vogue,no tytn 1.....)
Correct, the Kaiser motherboard is ONLY compatible with the type of screen it originally came with.
I heard the t-mobile wing digitizer would work on the tilt.
I have not try it, maybe on next one needs new digitizer.
My son has just broke the screen on his tytn2, reading through there seems to be the screen itself and the digitiser behind, if I order both of these, are they a simple fit, someone referred to soldering, I do not want to go down that route................
Just found how to video on you tube, looks fiddly, but I will give it a go.
Well the title says it all. I dropped my liquid and the screen is damaged, similar to that seen here and I wanted to buy a replacement LCD which I found on ebay but i need to know how to disassemble the liquid so I can remove the LCD and replace it. I only saw to screws on the liquid after removing the back cover but removing the screws doesn't seem to allow me to do anything. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Perhaps you can contact some of these guys- http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liquid-liquid-modaco-com/314748/acer-liquid-screen-repair/
Or maybe these pictures may help- http://picasaweb.google.com/1174282...thkey=Gv1sRgCLD8jf_FoYrGiAE&feat=directlinkp#

Hi all!
I bought a HTC One M7 with a cracked screen dirt cheap from a friend and am hoping to repair it myself and I've had a look around the q&a forums but anyone that references to genuine or "OG" HTC parts doesn't specify where you can actually order them from, I'd be looking for both speakers, lcd screen, digitizer and front speaker covers but am pretty unsure of which parts are actually legitimate on the internet.
Any help guys?
TIA

Screen repair here, fairly cheap and apparently 100% genuine, saves you a lot of hassle, i.e, breaking it apart and re-sealing it, plus the possibility of damaging other parts, also ring them and ask if they can replace the other parts for you.

if not then the speakers are here, cheap as chips, you could always ask the LCD company, if you send the speakers with the phone, if they wouldn't mind changing them at the same time, it would take them 2 mins whilst they have it apart.

for the covers, depends on colour, but heres an idea:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Top-F...sPouches&var=460531438066&hash=item2594a951a1
All for less than £100, cant really beat that for the whole front end of the phone.
If you are going to replace the screen might I suggest you order an entire front housing with digitizer and screen and back housing. You will destroy your phones body when you open it. Order those parts and follow the complete breakdown and reassembly videos on YouTube. They are all good.
Is it hard to change just back cover?

Personally I wouldn't take the risk of opening it all up myself, inside is extremely fragile and the motherboard connections for instance is as easy to rip in half as a piece of cloth, I destroyed a HTC Desire HD whilst trying to change the LCD and Digitalizer and the back of that was screwed on, the HTC One series is 10 times harder to open up.
