HD2 T-Mobile US (1GB) - LCD+Digitizer GLASS Replacement Part

Hi to all,
Before you ask, yes!, I did use the search and found some related posts to my issue, but a little outdated and I read so many things that I think I'm more confused.
My HD2 works without problems with the broken screen...but unless i have tape on it, i I'll cut my fingers...so after almost a year i decided it's time to repair it!
For that, I WANT to buy an LCD+Digitizer Glass Replacement (because i hear some are made of plastic). Because there are at least 3 different versions (so i heard) of HD2 LCD and hundreds of listings on ebay, I'm afraid to buy the wrong part.
Correct me if I'm mistaken:
There are 2 types of connection, solder or socket type. Mine is definitely socket (60H00300), correct?
Every socket version (60H00300) is the one that the LCD is better, right?
If i purchase any LCD+Digitizer combo that states as "for HD2 T-Mobile T8585 solderless/version 2/socket" will it be ok? Even without the T-Mobile logo on top? ...I ask this because I know for a fact that the US T-Mobile version has a slightly larger screen/digitizer!
Plus, I would also appreciate if someone pointed out an original screen replacement (meaning scratch resistance glass digitizer) that i could buy with confidence! :highfive:
Here's my sad HD2...i had to put tape on it, or the top right corner would fall in pieces..

Your TMOUS LCD & Digitizer is 100% same size as any other model HD2.
size difference is in the casing below the buttons & is about 1.5mm to allow for different antenna setup on mainboard.
Any 300 type will fit & work fine but you are indeed correct in assuming issues on quality & materials used.
Buying complete LCD/Digitizer does not mean you will get better quality parts & to be honest it maybe worse as the quality of tape used on some of these is poor.
If your LCD is fine I would make the effort to remove the Digitizer & thus just replace digitizer.
Can be done by warming it up with a quality hair-dryer & using a few new razor blades to loosen the bond, time & care is the key here.
Tapes for rebuild can be found on eBay from poland with worldwide shipping.
Digitizer for TMOUS is this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230897875502?
You would be advised to use a film on lens as even the glass ones can scratch as not as hard as original.
Trying to find original is a pain & high cost for possibly no gain ...
Most important part is learning good repair steps & using good care when stripping & rebuilding as without that a good or poor quality digitizer will be just as useful as a beer mat.

The main reason for me to buy the LCD+Digitizer is that i cant afford to be without my HD2 for more than a couple of days...and if I mess up ending the relationship between the LCD and its digitizer....I may end up with two (or three) broken "hearts"!
I'll risk in buying an LCD+Glass Digitizer "300 type" (+film protector) and then attempt to recover the original LCD for a "future repair" as you suggest!
Thank you for your reply, it really answered my issues! (I pushed the thanks button...but for some unknown reason to me it didn't work )

Good luck, hope it works out fine ...

hi
my display was broken, but have worked for a year or so.
now it is frozen/ unresponsive and i have purchased a full display.
just found a very easy way to replace the whole display in just 3 minutes by accessing it from the front side..
i am not yet allowed to post the link, but if you google this
IMPEXTROM CAMBIAR TROCAR DISPLAY HTC HD2
you will see the 3 minutes video
but it seems too easy to be possible ...
any hints?
thanx &cheers

That been set up for the video as you can see it been off before & the chassis the lcd is bonded to is clean of all bonding tape :-/
Also original has signal interference tape runing down sides across all 3 layers.
also if you heat the front first thing to seperate is the digi from LCD as the lcd to mid chassis is a strong bond.
Best way is popping them out of rear cover, fitting a pre built lcd/digitizer is not hard, just use quality adhesive to hold lcd to centre chassis & buy pre cut black foam tape for the top & bottom digi glass edges or rebuild is next to pointless without this done well.
I've done a good 30 odd HD2 screen & mainboards & no way I could do it to my standard via that video.

Glass Replacement

Hi all,
I recently fell whilst holding my brand new N6 and cracked the screen pretty bad. The digitiser and LCD appear to work OK, so I'm taking the plunge and will try and replace the glass myself.
I've replaced the display module (glass, LCD and digitiser) for a number of family/friend's phones and feel comfortable about working with the small electronics. I've been reading and watching countless tutorials on the removal of the glass from the rest of the display assembly but and yet to find any information specifically about doing this on the N6. Specifically, I'm worried about how the speakers will affect the glass removal process.
If anyone has any N6 specific info, it would be most appreciated. I'm waiting for the replacement glass to arrive, I'll update this thread with how i get on!

I've been through that. Will be useful to get me to the display module, but would have been nice if they showed what it looks like in more detail. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures when i do this and maybe a video.

Did you try replacing just the glass or the whole display module? What went wrong? I'm also about to replace the display module on the N7 2012, the glass is cracked and half the digitiser doesn't work.

with the iphone it was both the LCD and Digitizer I was replacing and they came together as one................same with the N7, both together, trying to install/remove these separately is suicide unless you have the right tools etc........
Have you bought the LCD/Digitizer toggether inside the silver bezel, I didn't, and I should have.........
basically there was a small cable on the back of the LCD/Digitizer that was present on the old damaged module, but not on the new one I had bought, I tried removing form the old and into the new, plugged in the normal power and screen cables, but then nothing, didn't work, my frustration also resulted in a small crack to the new screen.............
it possible but you need to have patience and the tools, which it sound like you do.......but its much easier already inside the silver bezel...........
the screen was glued into the bezel and removing this was murder, managed it, but had to pick out all the smashed glass bit by bit........
don't let me put you off though, you sound more competent than me........

I haven't bought the replacement display module yet for the Nexus 7. Thanks for the info, think i'll try and get one with a bezel to be on the safe side.

its definitely the way to go as you will just be popping off the back cover, releasing the ribbon cables, removing some screws, peeling back some adhesive tape and that's you.........
and any dings to the bezel will dissapear too............

Removing the LCD ribbon cable on N6 is PITA I don't want to even think how to plug in the new one. The digitizer is easy since there is lock on it but the LCD just plugs in with lots of friction.
Any tips?

Unless you have the right equipment and lots of time buy the whole assembly.
You can watch videos on youtube how complicated is to separate the glass from LCD

£122 repair cost in UK.

Update
I'm experiencing the same problem. I've replaced the digitizers/screens on all versions of the iPhone and also on the Samsung Galaxy S4. I successfully replaced only the glass on some Samsung devices too. I'm wondering if I'll be able to do this with the Nexus 6 if I just buy the $10 replacement glass.
Thanks. Hope to hear your results soon.
EDIT: I've scoured YouTube in search of videos showing how to replace the GLASS ONLY, but I can only find videos showing how to replace the entire digitizer. So I'm desperate for any information on this. Haha.

I was reading ifixit's how to guide. They state that the digitizer is fused to the glass. Possibly that's why everyone stops at this step.....

Can I ask where this is from? I've cracked the glass, screen works fine.

yes the glass repair is possible i am uploading photos of the process i did. i do work for a cell phone repair company and this has been a very common repair. Nexus 6 glass only repair with the use of OCA (optical clear adhesive) and bonded together with an ridge to ridge lamintator and and mini autoclave.

It turns out Motorola Official repair was £128 plus the postage to send them the phone in the first place.

I am unfortunately in the same boat. I sustained probably 15 scratches that my fingernail could get stuck on them all. My phone scraped along an artificial hardwood floor when a dog stepped on it facedown and slid. So I bought some cerium oxide in an attempt to sand down and buff away the scratches. I was not successful, and it looks like I added some more scratches. I'm going to put up with them until I get more, then replace the screen & digitizer probably while also adding a screen protector. I hate the feel of screen protectors though

Impressive. What's your process for separating the cracked glass from the digitizer?
Although I'm sure the OP was asking for a way that doesn't require thousands of dollars worth of specialized equipment.

Has the OP given up on this project? I cracked my glass the other day however the digitizer still works just fine. I wanted to know if there was a do it yourself way to change the crystal without having to purchase a digitizer/crystal combo?
Thanks

Replacing broken screen/digitizer

Guys,
I broke my screen, the LCD is good but the digitizer doesn't work. Aparently, this phone works differently from olders phones in which you can replace only the digitizer, but not this one since are fused together.
My question are:
Where can I buy one that WILL work? (i bought one in ebay and was faulty)
Will any LG G2 screen fit the VS980 (D805, D802, etc)?
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks!

If you haven't already got one, you can get it at repairsuniverse - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/lg-g2-lcd-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement-black-verizon.html
The repair is a little delicate in that you have to completely disassemble the phone and pry the screen out. You don't need a proper heat gun, a hair dryer will work just fine. One problem to be aware of: the screen really needs to fit flush against things otherwise the proximity sensor (top left of screen) will think that something is near it all the time and will make the screen turn off and you'll struggle to get it on again. They supply you with double-sided tape and it sorta-kinda works if you're careful. Pro tip: don't do what I did and unseat the newly-installed screen without heating it - you'll damage the screen. Also, superglue seems to do bad things to the screen. I now have a fully functioning digitizer with a screen that looks like hell. YMMV.

I am also in the same boat, having dropped it this past weekend. LCD works, not digitizer.
Any thoughts on replacing just the digitizer/glass vs. getting the whole assembly with the LCD? Seems significantly more dificult, considering the heat gun/glue assembly and only about a $30 difference between the two methods based on ebay prices.

Any suggestions on getting this LCD vs. one from ebay that is also pre-attached to the frame and comes with tools? They seem identical otherwise.

Hi,
I have some experience since I replaced twice mine lol xD
There're no good quality screens (they are all copies, no OEM screens) and all 3 that I got from 3 differentes vendors suffers from yellowish spot on the lower left corner (its not my phone that has an issue, one screen actually was a phone that I bought on ebay and had the screen replaced and still suffered from that) and others from misalignment. Here's a pic that I had to send to an ebay seller to prove them that their screens were ****:
http://i62.tinypic.com/15mn1w1.jpg
And got the money back at least.
The digitizer and the lcd are fused, so if you try with digitizer/glass and screen apart, you'll have to buy optical glue in order to fuse them, if not you'll end up with two things glued together that looks awful.
If you go with the whole assembly, its luck to have one that works, so you'll have to be patient and asume that you may receive an awful screen. Luckly, ebay protect you, so if you're not in a hurry you can test until you grab the working one.
Any question if I can help, just le met know.

Cracked screen

Well I finally did it. I busted the screen on my g flex. Its not bad. Just half a dozen tiny cracks. Can't feel them and can't see them with the screen on.
My question is had anyone replaced their screen yet?
And....
All I see on the web is LCD n digitizer together. I didn't damage the LCD. I only cracked the Digitizer / top layer of glass. Can I buy and /or replace just the digitizer only and not the LCD?

Only times I've seen the digitizers alone are iPhones and Samsung phones, but how on earth did you manage a crack on the flex? The angle would have to be perfect at the exact moment the planets aligned.

Had mine for 2 days and dropped it from 2 feet cracked my flex. Pretty bad too.
I replaced it shortly after. And no, they only come together.

I know I can't believe it broke too. I show off its durability by tossing it out in front of me on the ground. And in almost 2 years I haven't broken one yet.
That the main reason I haven't used my upgrade is I can't see buying a phone that can break when I thought I had one that wouldn't break. But looks like I'm gonna scoop up one of these. https://youtu.be/rPgPC9C3xwY

If the touch panel or the touch screen is damaged, but the images on the phone displays as usual, the touch screen panel part is damaged.
Note: replacing only the touch screen is hard to achieve, because the touch screen is integrated into the LCD screen.

Correct. Digitizer can be purchased seperate for less than $20 but is EXTREMELY difficult to replace without also destroying the poled as they are indeed fused together. You could purchase just the screen and digitizer, you'll need a heat gun, guitar pick, a bonding agent and patience. I'd recommend getting the screen, digitizer and frame already assembled (it'll just be a few dollars more) and moving all of your internals on to it. All you'll need is a micro Phillips screwdriver. It's easier, quicker and a more long term solution, not to mention it'll put your Flex back in mint condition as it's an all new housing. Total invested will be less than $100 bucks including beer. Good luck should you decide to go through with it, it's surprisingly easy.
Source: I do micro electronic repair and have replaced screens on dozens of makes/ models including the LG Flex.

I'd just buy a replacement display-itizer assembly from eBay (~$70), pry it apart and gluge it to the frame with 3m ultra thin bonding tape.
Total cost of repair, including tools (screw drivers, tape, spludger) is under $90
I've been thinking of buying a replacement myself, just in case.
Plus, there's one I've found without the LG logo, looks much cleaner.

I've separated them before. And re assembled in the restroom with the shower on high heat to create steam. Keeps down the dust. But I believe @ $62 replacing the whole thing is the way to go.

hi there. where was the flex screen parts at for $62 ? thanks

Anyone feel like making a few bucks, I have one with some burn in and would pay someone to replace my screen on my LG G Flex. Not worth it maybe at todays prices, might just buy a new one? Thoughts?

yes I bought the lcd/digitizer/frame all together, its under 90 bucks, real easy to put together , sure you could get the individual parts cheaper but its too much fuss to put together.

[Q] Nexus 6 Front Replacement

Hello Guys,
Yesterday my Nexus 6 hit the ground and my display cracked from one side to another. Of course I want to repair it. I found a tutorial on iFixit which is pretty easy to understand but I´m stuck searching for the right part. The whole display costs about 180 bucks which is a way to expensive. This is for the whole LCD (with Digitizer etc.) But I just need the front panel with the Gorilla Glass 3. Does anyone know a trusted shop where I can buy just the front panel for a moderate price?
German Shops would be the best for me. But American shops with German Shipping would fit too.
Thanks for your help.

I can tell you right now that replacing just the glass yourself is something you should not do unless you have extensive experience in it. I've been repairing phones for years and I still don't do just glass. Either the whole assembly or no service. Most places won't even touch it if you only want the glass replaced. It's fused to the LCD. I have done it plenty of times before but the proper tools are a must for this kind of repair. You can't just slap new glass on because it won't look pretty at all. It's much easier to replace the whole unit. Most first timers end up breaking their LCD anyway trying to replace that glass. I highly suggest just grabbing the whole assembly.

+1 great advice.

The digitizer and the glass are fused into 1 part, you won't be able to separate them with enough grace to mate the digitizer to the new screen
