Re: Screen Dead, DIY?

I think it's recommend to buy the digitizer along with the screen, correct? I've found a few sites that sell the digitizer for around twenty dollars, but I'm guessing that is just the digitizer. Will this be a significant factor in putting it all back together....Meaning will it be possible to do it by just buying the digitizer or should i look for combo packages and avoid just getting the digitizer alone altogether?

Good idea about the bad esn diamonds i'll look into that...

I'm thinking if it only costs 20 to 40 dollars then I'll take a shot otherwise if the price starts to get up there I might just look for a used Diamond or other phone online to outright replace my phone which is why i'm nitpicking over the digitizer vs digitizer/screen question.

For instance:

this is just the digitizer i'm assuming or is this a digitzer and assembly...I'm getting a bit confused on what is what with the terminology??? I know this does not include lcd but it looks some what costly to get digitizer and lcd so i'm hoping to avoid that.

I can keep a clean environment when i'm working so dust or scratches isn't that much of a concern, but mainly level of difficulty and cost if going just the digitizer route is plausible.

I'm hoping it maybe just a bad connection like someone mentioned....HOPING I'll dive into it this weekend for sure considering I don't have much to lose and I pulled my contacts/photos off the phone already via usb.
