Broken glass/lcd

[DonCorloene]

Hi.

Where can I buy a replacement LCD for HTC Herald? Is it difficult to replace it myself?

[neptune]

The best place to purchase a screen would be straight from china. If you want I can contact my link in china for the price of an lcd, or you can try and find one on e-Bay. I've done quite a few lcd and housing replacements for Pocket Pc devices and I suggest that you dont do it unless you know what you are doing. One of my friends even took his device to a real technician and he still messed it up. My suggestion would be to find a certified technician and make sure that they offer a warranty service for 3-6 months after the servicing.

EDIT: you must find the HTC model number of the LCD, and use that to search. Even though its the same size as the wizards, the flex cable might be in a different position. Also I think it would be quite hard to change without a corresponding service manual. My LCD was replaced also, but at the time it was still under international warranty, so I decided to send it in to HTC. HTC also modded my phone by adding an extra plate in between the slide out keyboard and the screen, has made the slide out more sturdy.

Do you have a link for a china webshop where they have it?

I will contact them when I get home and get them to send an English link to their website. In the meantime try to find a service manual for the Herald.

I don't mean to advertise, but I got my LCD from here when I cracked mine.

$60 for a perfect OEM screen with touch sensor is a DAMN fine deal, and they were pretty much the only site I could find under a hundred bucks.

That's a damn nice site! too bad I would not risk repairing it myself, and going to a technical repair guy with your own stuff is not an option:p lol

i got a replacement screen from CNN.CN via fedex and it arrived in 3 days. fitted it myself, as i have replaced several phone housings in the past. it can be a bit of a mission, took me 2 hours with rest breaks and no rushing.

as long as your patient and methodical, it can be done yourself.

Sadly they don't seem to carry them anymore. They have P4350 housing but no LCD's. I am in need of both. Just broke my phone today.
