HTC 8s new screen

robbra · 16-09-2014, 16:28

Hi,
My grandson has broken the screen on his phone as above.
I see on eBay they sell digitizer touch screens quite cheaply.
My questions are:-
Is this the complete screen including glass?
How would the screen be secured? Is there an adhesive or is tape used?
Thanks for any help.

I assume you mean the HTC One M8?

Have a look at this web page, showing the HTC One M8 being taken apart.

Not a task I would want to undertake.

No, he probably means the HTC 8s

Its very difficult to separate the digitizer and lcd as they are glued together and it often results in the lcd being shattered. You are better off buying the combined LCD / digitizer for around 20-25 on ebay. I looked at doing this with my wifes 8S before deciding it was better putting the money towards a new phone. You can get second hand Lumia 520's for around 50.

Thanks for the replies.
It is the 8s.
It does still work and now has come away from the LCD. Might get the digitizer just to have a go and see if it works.
