T-Mobile wing - Broken LCD screen

[ajjus]

I some how managed to break my phone's LCD screen. Not sure how it happened... I swear. I called T-Mobile hoping for a replacement and as expected they courteously asked me go F#%K myself. It's almost a new phone so I'm not willing to give up on it.
So now, I'm looking for a way to fix it. First, I want to know where I can find a compatible LCD screen for a descent price. The once I've come across so far are more than $100. And second, instructions on how to replace the screen.
Any help with this will be truly appreciated.
Thanks! :)

Anyone ever figure out the replacement process? My daughter broke hers yesterday.

Thanks

when you order a screen..it should come with tools.

you use those to remove the housing..

then you basically unplug the old LCD touch display and plug in the new one..

i think. :eek:

I saw the higher priced lcd's on ebay that included tools & instructions. I basically have the tools I need. I would just like to have the instructions and an lcd. Wny are things like this so hard to find nowadays.

I have the instruction on how to do replacement for LCD (t-mobile wing) only to take out screws and if your not aware of every detailed of what your doing your probably end up killing your WING :)

Go on ebay and look for a ebay seller by the name of lcd4pda. I talked to him in email about the lcd screen, he has the tmobile wing lcd in stock with tools and instructions. 65.00 to 85 bux to get one and it comes with the digitaltizer on it which my wing has a hole in the digitalizer and i have to order a new lcd, hes my best bet.

I dropped my Wing a week ago and it seemed fine. Put it in my pocket and then took it out a couple hours later and the screen had about 4 cracks in it. I assumed it was because I had dropped it earlier. The screen was white except for some blue areas where the cracking was most severe.

I ordered a brand new replacement LCD screen on ebay and just finished installing it. To my utter dismay the screen is still completely white!! :( It seems to respond to my touch (it goes brighter when I touch it), and it turns on and off w/ the power switch, but there is nothing but white on the screen.

Is it possible I got the connection loose when I installed it? Or is it likely there's something else wrong with my phone? Thanks in advance for any help.

It's probably a bad connection. Did you ever think you'd have to go through so much disassembly to replace the screen? Just so everyone knows, lcd4pda is legit.

Edit: Shipping was extremely high ($16.99). The location on eBay is shown as Canada but, it comes from Virginia. via First Class. I checked shipping to my location on the USPS site. It only cost $1.98. The package weight is 6oz.

Tell me about it! I had to practically start taking photographs to remember where all of the pieces and screws went. I dropped one of the screws on the ground and it took me 10 minutes to find :). I'll disassemble again later tonight and refit all of the connections to see if that makes a difference. I sure hope so.

For those replacing their screens, the service manual:

http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocket-PC-General-Discussion/258716/HTC-Service-Manuals-Dismantling-Guides/

has a good set of instructions on how to disassemble the Wing. The hardest part is when you have to use a credit card or something similar to unseat the keyboard. You actually have to insert the card or other plastic tool between the edge of the keyboard and the edge of the phone. The pictures confused me because it seemed like I was supposed to insert the card flat into the side of the phone but really, if your phone is sitting on top of the table, you actually insert the card DOWN into this small space.

Also, for those that are new to removing the connections that are in the phone (like I was), there is usually some tape that you have to first remove before you can unhook the connection.

It worked! The connection from the screen to the phone, the one underneath the RF board, wasn't pushed in quite far enough. I reseated it and voila! I now have a working phone again that can not only receive calls but can make them now! :)

Now that I know it works, I can also recommend seller superpc168 on ebay. $49.75 for the screen and I spent $15 for 2-day UPS shipping.

Thanks cracula. Just ordered a screen on ebay. Hopefully I should be able to fix my phone.

I found the manual through various places including here on the site. With the manual every thing went fine. EXCEPT THAT NOW THE MAJORITY OF THE KEYBOARD BUTTONS AREN'T WORKING. It must be a faulty connection on my part of course. I'm gonna give it another shot tonight and see if it works a gain. I found the screen on the fonlogix site(blackberry8100parts.com).

i just had my wing lcd screen fixed but by someone who doesn't work for tmobile he fixes phones and installs iphone programs on them also.. He charged me $100 to fix my lcd screen, tmobile wanted between $150 to $250 to fix it i told tmobile screw it i'll find somwhere and i did.. If you can find an outside source to fix your phone do so..

i broke my screen on my tmobile wing a while back.....was taking a 7 hour drive and the phone was sitting on the passenger seat in the sun for a few hours, later on that evening i picked it up and noticed i had a nice big crack on the screen from top to bottom somehow

called tmobile, they told me i had been paying the insurance they gave me the phone # to the insurance people, called them....paid a $100 deductible and got a brand new replacement wing

never thought i'd use the insurance, glad it came handy!
