My HTC HD2 Disassembled to the LCD

[FloatHeavy]

I posted in another thread about the issue of digitizer being glued to lcd. I had more pics to show, and decided disassembled pics are useful to all! So new thread for full set! If you want more I can get more! If I get enough questions I might make a tutorial for dis assembly.

OH NO!! what HAVE U done!!!

 

[FloatHeavy]

I know...The horror...I haven't re-assembled to see if still working...HA!

I disassembled because of a cracked digitizer.

looks like a fur or "plastic" carpet, hope you don't end up with ESD related problems





ESD as in ElectroStatic Discharge ^^

 

[FloatHeavy]

Phone still works just fine.

If anybody knows how to un-solder the digitizer away from the lcd, help would be appreciated!

any updates?

Have you managed to fix it yet?

We all want you to succeed so we can operate on our own cracked ones! Maybe you need the "unglue" chemical - you know, like superglue has an antiglue for reversing it's stickiness. If you could find out what glue bonded it, then a specialist adhesive supplier probably knows how to reverse it.

Well if they're cemented (hopefully with some hyper-glue), thats a GOOD thing. Then this will be (hopefully) my first device with NO dust under the glass.

Don't you people have insurances on your devices? Talk to the ensurance company and you will get a new device for a small excess - that is, if it's beyond repair

Floatheavy, and everyone else.

I'm currently on my second HD2, first suffered a hairline crack on the digitizer and it went COMPLETELY unresponsive. After getting the second, I had nothing to loose and disassembled the first. I got everthing apart up to the LCM, this module has everything (the glass digitizer, the LCD and the backlight) all cemented together. As I took the phone apart, priodically I would test that it still worked - everything except the digitizer. When I tried to separate the digitizer from the LCD and baclight I ended up tearing the layers of the LCD apart, now one layer is still glued to the digitizer and one is still glued to the backlight. I have yet to see how this can safely come apart and untill I can buy the LCD the phone is totaly screwed. I think one has to purchase an entire LCM and not just the digitizer.

For those that want to try separating the digitizer - BEWARE, noone seems to have found the secret yet! If I manage to discover something new I'll post.

 

[FloatHeavy]

Yeah. I tried the heat method to separate the digi from the LCD...

No luck

It seems it is more than the simple adhesive broken down by heat.

To get the bezel away from the LCM you can use heat to make easier, but to get the digitizer away from the LCD itself remains a mystery to me.

Anybody get any other results?

 

[FloatHeavy]

OKAY..

Pics updated again...

I was able to get the digitizer apart from the LCD, using a razor.

 

[mobile.shon]

for separate lcd and digitizer

For separate lcd and digitizer, I used nylo fisher string... and it work good... just right my problem is how to past new one ? neopren glue ?

 

[FloatHeavy]

Honestly, I plan on just adding a dot of super glue to each corner.

I believe most phone adhesives are a sylicon based glue.

It`s almost impossible to un-solder the digitizer away from the lcd, i have succeeded a few times whit hot air and very sharp cutter, but still broke 2 screens from 5...it has to be a solution for this...anyway 3 phones from 5 its not the best rate...
