Hi, I broke my screen on P7 and I want to replace it by myself. Do you have any experiences with this process?
Thanks for advises
Can someone just give me a good link for a complete screen, lcd, touch, and glass(free shiping is desirable). Thanks in advance.
Dude.... its a PITA.
The back is "stuck in place"with glue that you need to remove, and then replace. The whole unit then needs to be taken apart. I tried it once, and being used to screen replacements myself, was surprised to fail miserably.
Its not that expensive from a Huawei center, and if its under warrenty, the labour is even free!

I have to agree with Juggles.
There's no point doing it yourself, unless you are experienced mobile phone technician. If your phone was bought new then just send it for repair as it is under warranty.

And I have to disagree... I just successfully replaced my broken screen few days ago. It's not that hard.
Is it possible to change the front glass without the digitizer?
After all thats just a couple of bucks compared to the "real-thing", but I gess its not the best option as there isn't a "How to change only frontglass out there"...

Hi,
The XDA Diamond of my little brother has some cracks between the display and the touch-surface. (see attachement)
I sent the device O2, but they (their service-partner) said "no warranty" and want ~ 300€ for the repair.
I just looked into the service-manual, because I thought about repairing it by myself.
But I think it's to difficult for me.
Now I wonder if anybody know a cheap mobile-shop, who can repair my Diamond.
I live in Cologne. My Brother (and my family) near Hannover. (both in Germany)
But Online-Shops are also good.
Thank you!
the screen is on ebay - item 230285205211. They also offer repairs
search for the dismantle guide (sorry don't have it to hand)
i also got cracks on my screen just like your brother....
I decided to order one of the replacement screen from ebay that comes with the needed tools to do it myself. i payed about 25 dollars including shipping and should receive it anytime from now.... If you r willing to wait , i ll post feedback on how hard it is to do it yourself.
About dismantling the diamond u ll find easily links from google.
Good luck!
how do the cracks actually appear in the first place?
was it the result of something the manufacturer might classify as "abuse" or "accidental damage"?
Often I pick up my phone (HTC Victor) and think that it feels quite fragile compared to something like the N95... so i treat it accordingly - ie, with a little more care..
I already looked throu the disamble guide.
@Sebienbon
It would be great, if you would post feedback and maybe photos of the repair process (step-by-step) wich are not in the disamble guide.
Meanwhile I will do one more try with the service partner.
@bobbified
It just happened. I think my brother carried the device in his trouser pocket (jeans) when he was riding by bike. But imo such a expensive phone should be strong enough.
Also theere is no damage on the outside.
@hays
Thanks. But I am not sure if this is the right part.
My LCD still works. All pixels are fine.
But the "whatever" between the LCD and touch-surface is cracked.
Thanks everybody so far
i just got the kit this morning but the screw driver is wrong( probably because of a different country , i live in denmark and the screen comes from asia... so i ll go buy a tiny screw driver that i miss and then give it a go
Hey,
I´ve got the same problem. But my Screen is more broken
Although it works.
I read the Service Manual too but im not sure if it works with this part:
http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-digitizer-p-2128.html
Because on the last Picture in the Manuel you see only the front part of the phone and nothing about the part linked above.
So I w`ont open it before I`m not sure whats exactly to do.
Also I asked some firms do make me an offer for repairing the mobile phone.
The best offer is 129,00 € or 169,00 € if the dismantling create scratches on the Display under the touch screen because they are glued.
Very expensive!
Now I´m waiting for your experiences too.

Any update?
no updates
Man i wish i know of the manual to take this apart. You can fix it yourself if you take your time man, and dont be like me man. I took it apart thinking that the black tape under the battery is just tape!!!! And rip the mini-usb power ribbon. Man my heart sank.. So on that note if any of you guys know of a site or store to order parts from. please let me know also....
@lphar56
Is the diamond display made of glass and not the plastic stuff some other screens are made of???
The display is LCD so im guessing glas.. but it has a Touch Digitizer over the top.. that can scratch very easy and is only £15 off ebay

IF IT BREAKS, MAKE IT DISAPPEAR CLAIM FOR A STOLEN FONE
HTC diamond screen replacement
Hey guys!
AFAIK the cracks that appear are in the glass of the touch-screen-unit.
so i try to figure out how to replace this part only.
Is it glued to the LCD?
Which glue sould be used to fix it again?
Or does it even come with the screen?
I'd like to post a guide here if it works, so please help me answering this last question!
Also, replacing only the touchscreen would lower the repair cost to a third...
Thanks!
Still no update?? on the steps to remove digitizer?

I think it is not covered by the warranty so there is 3 solution:
1- you have an insurance for your phone which can cover this damage
2- you pay to repair it
3- you buy a new phone
I feel you.. I dropped mine from the 3rd floor and it died :/
Luckily I managed to get a new one from my insurance.
If it's only a home insurance you've got, make up a story that you dropped it at home somewhere
u might say u dropped it from a 3m high table
anyway i hope u luck buddy i would feel bad if my xperia dropped from 2nd floor.

Ummm ...next time you crash your car (your fault) will you not claim on insurance?
AFAIK insurance covers faulty devices, or when they brake by themselves.
Just pay for it to be fixed.

You are right. My bad.
I remembered that the store guys offered me insurance, but I declined.
I can fix anything software related (xda ftw ) and if the hardware brakes, I'll just send it to a random phone repair shop. No need to pay huge cash for insurance.

We can rebuild him....
My Xperia fell off my motorcycle and got run over by a car coming behind. I got a new casing and display from one of the Hong Kong parts vendors and rebuilt it myself from a YouTube video on how to assemble/disassemble X1.
It's like BRAND NEW!
Give it a shot. Check out the YouTube video first to see if you think you can pull it off.
Good luck!
omfg guys, am I the only one who treats the phone well? There is a topic about falling from the 2nd floor, X1 in the toilet.. My oh my, I feel now like an renegade

I was talking about the problems I had so far on my phone + the help from XDA obviously . Plus, I have never used 6.5 for a long period of time, so I can't help there .

I never had any of the cracking, peeling and w/e as well. Just treat your phone better peeps. That's the secret .
Hello, recently, my phone fell in the water.
I gave it to an repair shop named "My Mobiles".
The place looked like they "couldn't" scam people.
After two days of "servicing", they showed me the mobile.
They said that sometimes the phone wouldn't on.
The touch screen was working perfectly, someone showed me the working of the mobile, unlocked the lockscreen, scrolled through the different home screens.
They would service for another day, flash, and return it back to me.
The next day, they gave it to me.
They said that the touchscreen wasn't working perfectly in some places.
I wanted to test it, they said that the electricity wasn't there and they couldn't charge right now.
I went home with my mobile.
I charged it for a long time.
Then, when I turned it one, I couldn't access the touchscreen whatsoever.
I'm pretty sure that they replaced the digitizer with an non-working one.
But, I'm not sure how to prove it. So, is there any documentation provided that says that can identify the id of my digitizer?
I live in India, and good people here are a million-to-one.
What can I do?
Thank you.

Hah, yeah.
But how do I confirm about the digitizer?
I have to confirm that I'm right.
So, how do I do that?
Or is it just better to buy a digitizer?
(I sincerely don't see any point arguing with a bunch of dumbasses in a room full of "judges")
How much would the digitizer cost and which trusted place do I get it from?
I would recommend you to take your phone to that shop once more..
They must fix any error they made..
Or it would be better to take your parents along with you..(if you are a kid..)

Yeah, I did think of that, but the previous day, the digitizer was working, atleast accessible.
But, the next day, it didn't even respond.. I don't understand how that could that happen !
They did say that "it's an motherboard problem", but the mobile is working perfectly other than the battery and the touchscreen..
And, has someone used a new digitizer, successfully?
Is there any tutorial to replace the digitizer? I did find this : http://erkinson.altervista.org/en/sony-ericsson-xperia-x8-smontaggio-e-sostituzione-display-touch/
But, it isn't mentioned perfectly how to replace it..

Why not? It shows you what you have to remove(1 and 2) to replace digitizer. Then whatever you remove you place it back, while you are replacing the digitizer.
If you are not familiar with this stuff i advise you to leave it to someone who know how to do it.

I have cracked my screen and the touchscreen only works from the half down. I don't want to risk warranty rejection and live 3 weeks without my phone so I've ordered the replacement part (LCD+digitizer).
I'm an experienced smartphone repairer (mostly on iPhones but some Androids too) but I'm a bit worried that I'll break my ZR. From my understanding it needs to be opened from the front side, but I would like to be sure of what I do.
Has anybody seen a disassembly guide/video/pictures ? It would help a lot!
(If not, I will document my repair here for future reference...)
Try googling it

I have the same problem, except no part of the screen is working. I was just wondering if you tried to change the screen, and if you did, is everything working?
hey guys, I have a really quick Q for u. Is it possible to only replace the Digitizer/Glas on the One? They sell em for really cheap and because my screen still works fine after droping it (hell even the Digitizer still works!) I hoped that i can just replace it. The search doesn't show any result when I type in things like Display Digitizer etc. Did anyone attempted this? I saw some people replacing just the Glass on a Galaxy S4 on YouTube but there are only a few really poor videos on YouTube about the HTC One.

No, don't bother trying. The digitiser/glass is fused/bonded to the LCD and is very, very difficult to separate, so you'd just be wasting your time. Buy the whole LCD/digitiser assembly, and you'll be good

They're probably torn apart for good.. Try if you wanna, but it isn't recommended. There was an article on the xda portal about this a few weeks ago. You should read that to know about all the risks involved..

it's not a matter of Faith it's just facts .. have you ever separated a digitizer from glass or an lcd ? it's an 11 on a scale of 10 in difficulty
if you tried it 100 times you would get maybe one working one.
and you have one chance to get it right .. good luck
I went to a cellphone repair center yesterday to get an iPhone's digitizer replaced, and I asked one of the guys who worked there if they fixed HTC One's too, and he said "no those phones are on our blacklist, you try to fix one thing you'll end up breaking something else." I think it's best to no try to open up this device. I know how you feel though, you really want to try to fix it on your own, but I can tell you from experience, some devices aren't meant to come apart, let alone put back together properly.
