HTC Touch Digitizer Replacment
 

Hello,

Just wondering if someone from this Forum could PLEASE post instructions on how to replace the Digitizer on the HTC Touch?? I have the spare digitizer now and don't know how to get past the middle casing and then to the digitizer to replace it....... Or you can email me at edelarmente@sympatico.ca also with instructions or a linke somewhere ? ?

Thank You in advance...

where is the digitazer? on the lcd case?

Re: HTC Touch Digitizer Replacment
 

it's the actual screen you touch with your finger or stylus, the LCD is underneath the digitizer.... can't find instructions or a video on how to get to it to replace it......

Thank you very much... ! ! ! !

If this is the site you were talking about, I did use the picture to get to the LCD. The problem is that the pictures don't tell me or show me how to take the Digitizer out so I can swap mine out... I got as far as the pictures show but ended up putting my phone back togerther cause it shows nothing about swapping the Digitizer........ I'll keep looking but if you could do the same I woud appreciate it....

The PDF does the trick and is a great reference for disassembly. Not as clean of a replacement of the Digitizer as I had hoped, but it does the job.

It's not too bad.

1. remove back cover and battery
2. remove the 4 t5 screws
3. pop off the top with the digitizer, but be careful as there are chords attached to it.
4. push out the digitizer from the inside until it comes out. Oh and remove the chord going into the board first. Just follow the digitizer down and you will see it.

Reassemble:
1. put new digitizer in top cover and push the chord in.
2. reverse assemble.

I know that this is an old thread but I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I have an HTC Touch with a broken digitizer, followed OSeven's Disassembly Guide to take it apart and tried fitting a new digitizer (bought on E-bay). The ribbon wire was about 2-3mm shorter than the original but I fitted it in. Switched on but get no response from the touch panel. Is there something I should do to reset it (to let it recognise the new digitizer)? ](*,)

i did my vogue sprint i do not di any just connet the new digitizer put it back / working perfect my sugestion is to chek the ribbon wire fitted or another fitting conection:)

Re: HTC Touch Digitizer Replacment
 

Thanks, it seems the ribbon wire was too short because the bit that fits into the connector was broken in half so the bit with the wire exposed was missing. Used a blade to scape the top a little exposing the wires and fitted it back in, works 100% (after using stylus tap on four corners trick). To anyone buying replacement parts for your phone be prepared for weirdness if you (like me) buy the cheap stuff ;)

hi all..may htc hd2 fell and has stopped responding to touch...altough there is no visible crack on the outer most glass(where we touch).. i mean the display is working finew ..i can see the lock scree and and can rcv call via hardware buttons..

there is howevr one crack visible on top of side i am not able to make out whether digistiser is broken or lcd screen is broken..how do i ascertain //i sent it to service station and they are asking a ransom to repair it..

is it possible that lcd screen has borken..but then it shuld reposnd to touch no..i can live with broken lcd screen temporraily..
:(

Re: HTC Touch Digitizer Replacment
 

I kinda doubt that the lcd screen is broken but I guess it's possible. The outer screen is the digitizer and that is the part that responds to screen taps. I'm guessing that is what is broken/damaged but it depends on how hard your device hit the floor when it fell. You could have damaged something inside and the only way to know is to open everything up, replace the digitizer, and inspect other components to see if something else is broken. I suggest you look for a guide like the one in this thread but for your device. Open it up and investigate. Couldn't hurt to try! :)
