HTC Aria Screen Take Apart Repair Guide

---

If you have issue with your touchscreen digitizer and LCD screen, we will take you through the steps on how to disassemble your HTC Aria phone safely and easily so you can install replacement parts and repair your phone. This will help you replace a damaged or cracked glass touch screen digitizer, or a broken LCD screen as well as other damaged parts.

This guide will help you to install the following HTC Aria part(s):

• HTC Aria Glass Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement

Tools Required:

• Safe Open Pry Tool
• Small Phillips Screwdriver
• Tri Wing Screwdriver

Steps:

• First remove the 4 tri wing screws using tri wing tools as shown at figure 1.

Figure 1

• Then remove the back cover, the top section of the phone including the battery, the sim card and the memory card.
• Next, lift off the the top section which contains the power button.
• Then use the safe pry tool, release the clips and remove the button piece of the phone.
• Next, release the pop ribbon connector of the LCD screen as shown at figure 2.

Figure 2

• Then use safe pry tool to separate the LCD screen and the glass screen away from the phone. Gently pry and lift off as there is still a connector at the top of the screen.
• Remove the 2 screws using Small Phillips screw driver. Then use safe pry tool to pop off the earpiece.

Figure 3

• Gently lift off the metal cover to release the screen digitizer cable. Once the ribbon cable is disconnected, you can now totally separate the screen from the phone.

Figure 4

• To separate the LCD screen, you will need to use your hot air gun or hair dryer to heat up the glue that holds the glass in place, then you can gently pry it off using your open safe pry tool.

Now you will be able to replace any parts on your HTC Aria. Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.

Where can I get an adhesive tape for the digitizer, mine has lost it's stickiness and there a gap is starteing to appear between the digitizer and the screen. I've found only strange sites that sell this, without an option to pay in paypal.

I'm also looking for the adhesive tape that it is on the bottom part of the phone. as you can see there are two stripes on both sides of the trackball:

We actually have the adhesive strips on our site here - Adhesive Strips

It's not a strange site and PayPal is an option

This will fix both you issues.

Paul, thx for the tip.

Actually I prefer no to cut the stripes myself, since cutting them to 2mm stripes is not easily done.
I wish you had the digitizer adhesive "square" pre made, like there are for other devices.

I will just order 2mm tape for the digitizer and 4mm tape for the bottom part.
btw, any useful tip on how to peel the paper from the tape after you adhere the tape on the one side to the phone? would be very helpful.

PS.
your site and videos are great!

Strips are very easy and simple to cut.

You would actually need to cut any strips as you need to avoid blocking the sensor hole etc.

Just place the strips in place. Once ready just remove the backing then install. We actually have an video showing the adhesive process on YouTube if you want to check it out.

Thanks for the guide. I successfully replaced the digitizer and was able to start up the phone but no video from the LCD screen. It was working previously. When it starts up the screen lights a little but is blank dark screen, not white. Everything else works including the digitizer touch screen.

I checked the LCD connector and digitizer connector several times but still same problem. Is it possible that the LCD got damaged during disassembly?

all. We actually have an video showing the adhesive process on YouTube if you want to check it out.

where can I find it?

My first thought would be to check the connector for the LCD and make sure it is fully inserted and is secure making a full connection.

If its connected fully and still not functioning and the phone is powering normally then you may of damaged it and will need a replacement however it's most likely a connection problem.
