HTC One Screen Repair Guide - Complete Tear Down

[@Alzerwozere08]

3:42 - 4:00 - Ireland here, wondering about those flex cables. Do they have ANYTHING to do with wifi connectivity or are they merely paths between the mother/daughter board?

[@davorberecevic5714]

Hey guys! Thanks for the video! It helped me a lot! I was rejected in 4 different mobile services for this replacement with the excuse that this phone is the most difficult for opening and closing?! I bought spare parts and followed your instructions step by step and without previous experience I managed to replace the display and the battery, and everything to put in to the new housing with no problems! The only thing that I did that you haven't in your video is the heating of the back cover before I started to pop it out. Maybe it's a little bit easier. Now I don't understand what is the excuse for all those servicers I have asked before? Are they relay know to do anything if this simple thing is to hard for them?

[@chosenthrill5020]

Hello sir i was wondering if i would be able to remove the front metal speaker grills and replace them and if there is how would i do it ?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

+Exodiac47 Our unit with the frame does have the HTC emblem.

[@woshi9545]

My Htc one lcd/digitizer/screen was replaced a while ago, the same way it was done in this video. Only the factory adhesive just under the lcd/digitizer/screen wasn't replaced or reinforced. The screen is now sticking out a bit, it's useable but very annoying and it's just not fine by me. How can i fix this smal problem by myself? don't want to mess anything up and ruin the whole phone. It's just under the screen like on 1:09 and 9:45 Any tips on how to add adhesive on the inner housing??

[@RBMRYU1]

Hello! My touchscreen is not working properly in a small portion of the upper center of the screen. The way to reapair it is changing the whole screen? Thanks

[@Sinistard]

I just got my kit and cant seem to pull the screen away with the suction cup. Any tips on getting it started?

[@Ryzerion]

Hi, I'm planning to replace the outer glass only. Any advice how I can separate that part only?

[@PabloFernandoRiveraZapata]

My wifi range is not reaching the distance that it used to have after i droped it a week ago. Where or wich antenna is the wifi conection?

[@shealynnmace2266]

Do you guys repair them if we send them to you? If not, just my screen part it cracked. The LCD is still fully lit and useable. I just need to replace the screen, or is the LCD and the screen together?

[@khanhluu5913]

I would like to ask you Mr Repairs my HTC 1 screen is shattered... Do you know were I could buy a screen for good price tyvm???

[@DerryPup]

Hi repairs universe... I have followed the whole video as instructed, I have replaced the entire housing of the phone as opposed to just the screen as shown in your video! However the new screen in unresponsive, when switched on I am getting the vibrator and sounds but the screen is blank, can you help?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

DerryPup Did you have any issues with the installation? What was the original problem with the phone?

[@Victorin777]

Hi,I just replaced the screen on my HTC One M7 thank you so much for the video it help me a lot : ) but with mine I replaced silver screen frame for a black one though which I don't thing it will make any difference ,but now I ran into a problem after all the installation done the phone is NOT detecting the SIM Card ,every thing else is working just fine any sugestions..??

[@rushynanana]

I have a cracked screen on my HTC one mini. Will following these instructions solve the issue in the same way?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

rushynanana Similar but they are different models. At the moment we do not have a video on this model.

[@usamaa1735]

the chassi on my HTC one is broken and the Glass too but i dont know if the lcd is broken or not, should i just change the glass and chassi or the lcd to? btw i have never changed a chassi or lcd before i was thinking of buying it from your webiste and do it myself. My question is, is it really that simple that anyone can change it? is it worth the risk? :P thanks

[@henkjaegerde7591]

Hey I just cracked my screen :( I was wondering if you have to replace the screen and digitizer or if you can also just replace the digitizer. There are some vendors out there who sell just the digitizer which is a lot cheaper and the screen itself is ok.

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

The issue you will run into is the LCD and the Digitizer are fused together. It takes a lot of time and patience to separate the two without damaging the LCD. We have found that the benefit does not out weigh the risk on this device. So we are only offering the LCD/Digitizer combo at this time. This make an already difficult job easier.

[@21ZacDUDE]

Hey I followed your directions exactly and connected everything. However when I turn my htc one m7 back on the led notification light comes on and the phone vibrates. But the screen remains black. I know the phone is turning on and charging just a black screen. I double checked all the ribbon cables and they look alright . Please help

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Sounds like you may have gotten a defective screen. Please contact the seller for another screen.

[@losangelesconcierge7579]

can i use this guide for the M8?

[@XeLa-Em]

Is it posible to change only the glass ? The display and touch work perfect. Only the glass is cracked. For a htc one m8 mini.

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

It's possible but not worth the headache.

[@jbreaker69]

Do I have to remove the boards if I'm just doin the screen

[@emiliobooker8956]

I broke one of my antenna connections off trying to remove the back cover. What should I do. :(

[@LynkBuscemi]

My screen has many cracks on it and I have a black blob on my screen that is getting worse? Is this the LCD leaking? I know it's not dead pixels because if I apply pressure the blobs move.. I'm just wondering whether or not I need a new LCD or just glass and digitizer?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Yes, sounds like your LCD is the issue. Replacing your LCD and touch screen will resolve this issue. We offer the assembly here www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-one-m7-lcd-touch-screen-replacement-frame-silver.html

[@LynkBuscemi]

Excellent, thanks for the quick reply, before buying this do you know if there is any way to remove the black liquid?

[@ellisleeds3832]

Is this the same way you do it with the htc one mini?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Ellis Leeds It is very similar, however each phone does have specific procedure when repairing.

[@mortenprehn8437]

Thanks for a good and useful video! Using your video I managed to replace screen, battery, USB charge port and back cover. One flaw however has appeared. The home screen has in several places vibrating lines, which is quite disturbing. It is not a general mistake with the LCD as the lines disappear when scrolling to another page or when opening an app. What is causing this and can it be fixed?

[@edenmadden3240]

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I love any tips you can give me

[@ericjoziah5085]

@Eden Madden instablaster :)

[@edenmadden3240]

@Eric Joziah Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@edenmadden3240]

@Eric Joziah It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out :D

[@ericjoziah5085]

@Eden Madden glad I could help :)

[@AlexMercersRevenge]

Is this tear down the same as replacing the lcd for the htc 1 max?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Hello, no it is two different models.

[@Diegoruiz-mn1cj]

I dropped my htc one in water and it doesn't work any more if I replace the battery well it work ?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

+Diego ruiz Difficult to confirm, really just have to try it and see what comes of it. Battery is a good start but when you open the device check for any corrosion on the logic board. You may also require additional items like your LCD and Touch screen assembly possibly also your dock port.

[@cristianacevedo3678]

Awesome video but wow to change a damage screen you need to literally take all the parts out of the phone.... or you can do it in a different way to replace the screen?

[@keebesst]

can you using double-sided tape when you do change the display??

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

minho Kim We recommend using the recommended adhesive.

[@louiedepalmer6345]

Very helpful, Many thanks. HTC One working once again.

[@MrLocoloco97]

1) Sorry for my english :) 2) There in a difference between a broken GLASS and a broken SCREEN? If I break a the Glass i have to change the screen together? Are the screen and the Glass connected and inseparable? 3) in the long run there could be damages with a non-official-screenchange? Thanks :)

[@vineshrathod5135]

My screen was cracked by screen was still displaying in patches. I disassembled and replaced the screen but now I get no display on the screen . I put the old screen back and also have a blank screen. Please help .

[@WilliamSmith-rq7dy]

In this video you only replace the lcd, without the frame but on the website there is only an lcd with the frame?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Correct, at the moment we no longer carry the LCD and touch screen by itself. Sorry about that. We'll do our best to upload a video with the frame assembly.

[@keciakimmons1174]

Please help, I cracked the facing of my HTC One phone and now my sim card is not working.... can I send my phone to you guys and you fix it for me

[@botin0727]

Does this work with the HTC One Remix?

[@onslo8]

hi guys .got htc one no screen cracked but diditizer doesnt work at topof screen only now quastion : do i need to rplace all screen or just diditizer some one told me that part is glued to lcd ? thanks

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

The LCD is fused to the Digitizer. You would have to heat the digitizer to about 110 degrees then separate the screen from the LCD. You then use (LOCA) Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive to re bond the digitizer to the lcd. This is really hard to do even if your a professional. Get the complete unit. Save yourself some time and Grey hairs. Good Luck!

[@onslo8]

Repairs Universe thank you for qiuck respond .yeah will go for lcd with digitizer as i just smashed my screen .what kind of glue do i need to assembly phoneonce screen fixed?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

You need to purchase this... www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-one-m7-lcd-touch-screen-replacement-frame-silver.html. Follow the video. We also offer a Toolkit for your device. It comes with everything needed for a professional repair www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-toolkit-version-5.html Good Luck!

[@MrAnimalux]

Well, i have a problem, i've done all this, everything went great but after I started the phone, i've notice the speaker dose not work fine so I had to re-adjust the speaker, I've placed everything back on and now the phone won't turn on! If I plug in the cable to charge the phone, the screen turns on with the batery that is being charged and the red led turns on. Do you have any Idea what might be the issue? I've tryed everything, power button + volume buttons and bla bla, I've disconected the batery several times, still didnt work... Any idea how I could fix this?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Were you ensuring to wear gloves when doing this? It's possible there was a static discharged that may have damaged something.

[@MrAnimalux]

Repairs Universe No sir, I did not use gloves. But I don't understand what might be wrong, this thing happend me before like once of twice and I removed the batery connector and re-pluged in and worked normaly, now, it wont start.

[@TheRealButchcassidy]

I just replaced the screen assembly on my phone, now my GPS isn't working. Where is the GPS antenna, or which or the coax are for the GPS?

[@nikitadanilov9001]

[@TheRealButchcassidy]

TY, for the assistance...

[@phucpham2594]

where can I have the professional help for changing the back? I dont wanna do it myself and then mess up a 600$ phone..

[@CHB94]

And same thing goes for the Htc one mini?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

aNASTYfeed Yes it the same as its big brother the M7. Take your time and you should be good to go.

[@CHB94]

Great, thanks for the tutorial!

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Its not worth the trouble to save 20.00. You can buy the lcd and touch without the frame for under 50.00. Go that way. Or the whole frame. Take it from someone who has repaired over 100 M7.

[@7nkYT]

where can i find just that screen

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Its not worth the trouble to save 20.00. You can buy the lcd and touch without the frame for under 50.00. Go that way. Or the whole frame.

[@TheGrimmmer]

Regarding the HTC ONE X PLUS---does anybody know where i can find a video covering replacement of the mini usb conector, ,exclusively?? please let me know I have everything i need to do it,minus the know-how

[@GregSzarama]

Do you know of a tutorial video of how to do it that way? I found it with the whole frame.

[@armannsingh7284]

Repairs Universe Hey, I was wondering whether I should buy it with or without the frame. Which one will ultimately save me the most time.

[@kengwerere]

my HTC just went off, can't turn on nor show signs of charging any idea on what to do

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Could possibly be software issue. However, we do recommend starting with the battery. Difficult to confirm without reviewing the unit though.

[@Exodiac47]

Does this part have the HTC logo on it?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

+Exodiac47 Yes, this part will have the HTC logo.

[@gauravkakkar8228]

I damaged my htc one screen with some chemical, service centre is charging me usd230 for replacement. is is nominal?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

That does sound a little excessive. Please check out this link. www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-one-m7-lcd-touch-screen-replacement-frame-silver.html. Our labor is 60.00 hr. The HTC One M7 Should take about 1 1/2 to complete a screen replacement. Here is a link to our Repair Sheet... www.repairsuniverse.com/repair-service.html

[@gauravkakkar8228]

Thx

[@trybin88]

How about an HTC one MAXX? DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO?

[@gitske946]

Repairs Universe , Do you have to remove the battery to remove the screen?

[@anaeidiss]

What if i only want to replace the glass not the hole screen?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Amalie Eidissen The screen and the lcd are fused together. For you to do this repair you would have to separate the two screens without damaging the LCD. If this is done then you would need to refuse the screens with a Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive. Then cure this with a UV light.

[@anaeidiss]

Repairs Universe Thanks for the quick reply! Okay, I think I'll stick to replacing the entire main display then. The odds of me damaging the LCD are high.

[@RRinzeRR931]

Where can I get a new screen?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-one-m7-lcd-touch-screen-replacement-frame-silver.html Here is the link to the screen. Good luck!

[@brandoncummings1724]

would Doing all this reset the phone at all?? I can't afford to loose my phones data

[@flashmore3]

I have disassembled many M7's and the screws are definitely not the same size!

[@lezevil4128]

Why is your screen dark when you booted it?

[@viveledefence]

FYI, you should remove the daughterboard before the battery. I did the battery first and broke a cable on the daughterboard and had to replace the whole thing :/

[@luigicomba]

i bought the original lcd tand its a little larger and does not fit :s

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Where did you buy the part from? We offer an OE screen replacement here....www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-one-m7-lcd-touch-screen-replacement-frame-silver.html

[@fightinirish73kk]

that is a crazy amount of adhesive and tape

[@tlaloc1525]

Why did you take the battery and mother board off...!!!!!

[@tomraas3982]

It looks easy too lift your screen, but in my case it was impossible. I had to put so much preasure that all the hardware / steel frame was damaged

[@MrZeepman]

heat it before you try to open it to loosen up the glue holding the screen

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

+Tom Raas This unit is definitely challenging and patience is the key. Slowly work with your heat source to help take apart the device.

[@dejarama]

Mostly good video. There must be model differences, however, because mine had a long cable along the left side (volume button side), that is not in this video. The ribbons connecting the volume button were a bit different also. The biggest oversight, though, is that it fails to address how to remove the other items under the sister board...particularly the top speaker. It does NOT come out easily and I think I ripped the top off of it not knowing that was happening. It appears to be glued down pretty well so that the glue is more sturdy than the diaphram. Not sure how I would have done it at all unless I could have pushed it up from the grill...which I don't think is possible. Oh...and the comment that the screws are all the same size is completely wrong. There were probably three or four dramatically different sizes so definately keep track! I took a screen shot of the diagram showing the screw locations and printed it out, then taped each screw in its rightful location for later retrieval. Lastly, the speaker damage didn't end up making a difference because the repair didn't work anyway. Bummer. Still have a black screen with the "home" and "back" buttons lighting up. Thing that really sucks is that it is working because it starts up the HTC sync software when I plug it into the computer, but can't read anything because there is a lock screen. Well, I can't undo the lock screen because the screen doesn't work. Crap...not sure what to do now. Any ideas? Thanks! Oh...and the "considerable force" it took to remove the back actually broke the housing a bit just above the volume button. I'd just cover it with a case, so that too wouldn't really matter to me.

[@user12345___]

I wish it showed how to remove and replace the charging port. Good video tho...

[@WahidRouhli]

Didn't you forget to put the volume connectors on the mother board?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

***** The volume button are soldered to the motherboard and are removed with it.

[@WahidRouhli]

Hmm Okkey I see ;) Thank for the reply Repairs Universe

[@debmalyanandy1136]

Actually there are 14 screws inside, and NOT 13! Also the screws are NOT identical, and therefore, one has to keep track of their original locations for re-assembly!

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Justin Harris Although it is strongly suggested, it is not completely necessary. We always instruct customers to remove internal components to limit any possibility of damaging them.

Emilio, Buy a new antenna, and install it. These parts are not that expensive, and should be available on most auction sites.
