[Touch HD Accessories] FoRMat MaSTer:
That's the way you should do it. Get the whole digitizer-lcd part as one because changing the digitizer without creating any problems to the lcd is very very difficult.

There is a disassembly manual as well as a video in this thread from pzucchel, so look for it and you won't have any problems (actually you don't need the manual if you are watching the video while you are disassembling). The only tricky part is separating the digitizer-lcd from the housing. The double sided electrical conductive tape that HTC has used is quite tough from what people say and you have to be extremely slow and cautious while separating the screen from the housing.

There is a safer way though. You heat up your oven at 60C and you place the front cover with the attached LCD for 5 minuted or you use a heat gun (hair drier will do as well) and warm up the housing LCD. That makes the double sided tape to lose some of it's tackiness for a couple of minutes while the housing is still warm and you can remove the lcd easier and with lower risk of damaging it. Unfortunately the 2nd housing I received also had a problem and I'm waiting for the replacement so I haven't tested any of the above myself yet. As soon as I get it though, I will.

If anyone has any idea of the type of the double sided conductive tape that's stuck on the housing please feel free to let us know.
[Touch HD Accessories] xlidak:
Well, I changed only the digitizer successfully just yesterday, without damaging the LCD screen. It took me around 3 hours, but it was my first time :) But I wouldn't say it was difficult, you just have to take your time when removing old digitizer, and detach it from the LCD very slowly.

Anyway, if I manage to change it few more times somehow, that sticky tape will become a problem. I don't know what do they use, but do you think it has to be conductive?
[Touch HD Accessories] FoRMat MaSTer:
If you read this thread most people that have tried what you did were unsuccessful ending up with a damaged lcd. Good for you that everything went OK. Personally I would try it myself first and if everything went bad and my lcd got damaged I would reorder the whole digitizer-lcd kit. But that depends on how long can one wait without his phone since these stuff take a long time to arrive from Hong Kong.

About the conductive tape. I'm referring to the one between the lcd and the metal plate of the chassis. The one between the lcd and the digitizer is not conductive.

I think htc used conductive tape for a reason (and I think the reason is grounding). If they weren't supposed to use conductive they would have used non conductive since it is much cheaper as a product (if you search around you will find that out yourself). It will still work with simple double sided tape though from what people claim. But it would be nice to get the original part there (or an equivalent) when replacing things.

what kind of adhesive is used to stick digitizer onto lcd? i'm waiting for my digitizer from dx and i don't know what to expect..
[Touch HD Accessories] FoRMat MaSTer:
do a "3m digitizer" search on ebay and you'll see what you are looking for.
[Touch HD Accessories] sleby:
2 days ago i recieved a package from dealextreme with my digitizer. yaay!!:)

at first i was surprised that the digitiser came preassembled onto thin glass surface which comes glued onto lcd.

so, i had to remove my old glass first and i did it with razor knife. then i mounted digitizer onto lcd with 3m adhesive foil and changed 2-sided sticky tape that comes between lcd and housing. after that i assembled all together and my hd became alive again:D

the only difference is that the new digitizer is much more reflective than original one and i don't wanna know how it will bi visible on a shiny day..

from now on i won't be using any protective foil for the screen since replacement of it costs less than a decent protective foil..
[Touch HD Accessories] PJMDS:
I got a strange problem with my HD, it doesn't always respond to the taps on the screen, 90% of the times the Start menu comes on even if I tap on the opposite corner, I also can't pass the align tool, in the notes application it does draw lines but when I release the screen almost always there's a line drawn from the actual point to the top left corner. It's very hard to write in it :(

Could it be just moisture? the problem isn't that bad when the device is hot, I wonder if it might start working normally in the summer (hot temperatures and the moisture might disappear)
[Touch HD Accessories] Hakim Rahman:
to be able to adjust the alignment screen correctly you need CalibrationData !! This may be a little help
[Touch HD Accessories] PJMDS:
Thanks for answering, I edited the calibration values on the registry, after 20 reboots I managed to find the correct values but the touch was still very unresponsive, working almost 100% when the device was very hot, it starts failing when it cools down, I sent it to a friend for repair, I love my HD and it's hard to be without him :s using a nokia 3310 now lol

That's pretty expensive but it is still worth it for me.

[Touch HD Accessories] Dogtag:
400 dollars!!!!! GET the F*** outa here. 80 dollars at this link----> http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-screen-p-5055.html and if you need the digitizer as well it's 160 dollars this site is trust worthy I've bought a SE k800i case (the netherlands) the case was almost -if not- original.

edit--> the're based in HOng kong. So It did take 2 weeks to arrive, but when it got here it had the 'gift' stamp on it :D
[Touch HD Accessories] :
It's not 400$ !!!

Just 119$ for the LCD (not included digitalizer )

Or 270$ = LCD + digitalizer + full housing

But 80$ for Touch HD LCD at Dogtag's link : very cool price

ebay pal!

Hi all,

I ordered mine on ebay from an italian guy who had 3 or 4 in stock and found some from hong kong too.

I changed my screen with no problems following the htc service manual to disassemble the device...

You need the correct screw drivers though!!!

Ciao
[Touch HD Accessories] MaskedMarauder:
I am thinking the problem here is a shortage of the screens, hence the high prices of the screens and long delays for repairs. Also HTC can not supply enough of the handsets, even now they are still regularly showing as out of stock at many retailers.

When supply of the screens pick up the prices should come down, not that that is much comfort if your screen needs changed now.

remove and replace the LCD Screen for TOUCH HD

I found out how to remove and replace the LCD screen.

I will explain from the point after removing the boards.

You just need to remove the touch screen on the front of the phone with a very fine and strong stick or knife.

http://freshgear.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/htc-touch-hd-usb.jpg?w=450&h=300

the touch screen and the LCD screen are stuck together very good.

You need to be very careful.

it's works, I did it last night and I was stuck at the same spot as you and after an hour I figured out how to do it.

from page 18 to 24.

and after I pushed on the back of the screen and put a knife in the crack between the touch screen and the housing.

And it comes off, but be very careful to not break the touch screen because there is a pretty strong glue holding them together.

After you need to seperate the LCD screen from the touch screen.

and then, you did it !!:D

P.S. double check the GPS cable and the other cable. because they are difficult to secure.

I bought the full kit from hong kong and did the same replacement this weekend. I am not sure I would like to do it again :)

The service manual really helps, at least up to a point.

The biggest problem is getting the screen of the housing ( you need to remove it so that you can transfer all the stickes to the new housing)

My main problem turned out to be getting the new digitizer and lcd to stick to the housing.

I wasnt 100% succesful so I will buy a silicon shell to keep it all together.

Kool i did the same thing but i didnt get time to put it Back together yet i might do it this weekend coming....

Looks like the same product you're looking at, just an even lower price. Now keeping my fingers crossed... the sellers feedback seems to indicate his products are good quality, so I took the plunge. Looks like there's a lot of competition in the market these days & prices are dropping as the phone gets older.

I hope I can swop out the cover without damaging the lcd. Wish there was a youtube video demonstrating how it's done in the case of the touch hd.

KATASTROPHE STRIKES

As I've mentioned before, I ordered a new outer shell for my Touch HD (without a LCD screen), which arrived today. I immediately started to take my HD apart. This went well until I tried to separate the LCD from the outer shell and the touch-screen: At that point, I cracked the LCD! :mad: :mad: :( :( :(

I put back together my HD and it still works - but the display stays black. Nothing. Now I'm really pissed off at myself for being such a cheapskate buying only an outer shell instead of buying a complete screen-unit like this one: http://cgi.ebay.de/i594-NEU-Genuine...r_KM?hash=item23032c3531&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

So - the lesson learned: Don't attempt to do this yourself unless you're willing to risk major problems! And IF you decide to do it yourself, atleast buy the complete screen unit...

I hope my terrible experience will atleast keep others from doing the same mistake... :(
[Touch HD Accessories] OliveUK:
how did you try to remove the LCD ? Did you open the HTC or you just lifted up the screen from outside?
[Touch HD Accessories] MAMeingast:
You have to open the device... You can't replace it from the outside! I followed the instructions from the Service Manual to the point I could remove the complete screen unit (LCD+touchscreen) from the device. But then I tried to separate the touchscreen from the LCD, at which point the latter cracked...
[Touch HD Accessories] OliveUK:
hold on, which page did you see the infos on how to remove the entire screen unit??
