Broken LCD Screen

---

Hi Guys
My name is Luis and I live in Costa Rica. I have a HTC Jade which recently got the LCD screen broken . I really really appreciate if you can name me an Accesories Store located in USA to buy the screen. Since I live in Costa Rica it seems to be the logical place to import. HK is a little bit far from us!

Thank you in advance.

Brando ships worldwide and is pretty reliable. Why not use them?

On ebay.com I found some offers as well, some for about 33USD, like half price as from Brando Shop...

How to Dismantle

---

Hi,

I also have a broken lcd. I ordered a replacement from brando. Is there a service manual or dismantling guide that shows how to replace the LCD?

TIA

Scary Procedure

Hello! My touch screen is scratched and I bought another one to replace it. Well, it isn't so easy and after I dismantled the device, I decided not to replace it and wait for some tips because no documentation exists. No manual included with the package and no info on the net. (there are some youtube videos for other phones)
After you open the device, you end up with your phone in 3 parts. The Touch screen has a black marquee surrounding it witch I don't know how to remove, and it is connected with the main board with a very very thin wire witch I'm afraid to pull and I'm not sure if I have to pull it or do something else to remove it from the main board. Tips are welcome. Thank you!

i've tried to open the device.
It's not so hard:

AT OWN RISC!!!

Unscrew the 4 screws, click it slightly open.
now you can see on 1 side a small flatcable for the digitizer, unlock it by swapping the behind of the connector. Unplug it.
Flip the PCB and unplug the 2 connectors for the screen and buttons.

Now you can unscrew 2 litle screws at the buttons.
remove the buttons carefully.
Now you can slightly press on the back of the old digitizer untill it loosses.

Place the new one, carefully press on the glue-parts untill you think it is tight enough.

Now read this post backwards to put it all together again.

If you're ready, push the on button.
When it asks for the pincode press : volume up + centerbutton to calibrate.
Et voila.

AT OWN RISC!!!

i'm not responsible for any damage.
