HTC Shadow LCD Screen Replacement & How-To Fix Video

[reniaszek]

can i replace the screen (front glass) without taking the phone a part ???

[RepairsUniverse]

@reniaszek Sadly, no. The flex cable and its connector is located on the interior of the phone.

[tdjtx]

Thank you, this looks like a very complicated disassembly. I looked at the phone and couldn't figure out how to take it apart.

[RepairsUniverse]

@tdjtx No Problem! The Shadow is not the easiest phone to take apart, but far from the hardest. Does take some patients with the slide assembly.

[tdjtx]

@RepairsUniverse Yea, the slide assembly really had me stumped. I checked your prices for the screen replacement and it was the best price I've found. I'll be ordering one soon.

[RepairsUniverse]

@tdjtx Good luck, let us know if you run into any issues!

@RepairsUniverse Where can I find the special screwdriver mentioned in the middle of the video?

My screens not broken, its just when I slide it up the backlight turns off. It works perfectly when its closed but once I slide it up, the backlight turns off. Now I have to keep trying multiple times till I get lucky and the light stays on.....this sucks. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[RepairsUniverse]

@ebsanu Sounds like the LCD ribbon connection is bad. To fix this you will need a new replacement LCD screen.

thanks alot but think i damaged my volume up and down cable but at least i can see now

[hollisprophet]

Damn that's a lot of work....well not that much really..but does anyone think that will work with my shadow phone? I got water damage on mine. The keys still light up along with the main inner circle button, and at the top of it where the bluetooth and power LED lights still flash....I just get an all black screen though....im trying to 'clean' my LCD screen instead of replacing it...don't know if it'll work though..

[RepairsUniverse]

@hollisprophet Sounds like the LCD is damaged and will need replacing. You can find the replacements cheaply at RepairsUniverse (dot) com if the cleaning doesn't work.

Does anyone know how to fix the trackweel? I have another shadow, but i wanted to fix my old one. Any help would be appreciated.

@Alexandrius90 It's a British accent. Glad the guide helped.

Micro SD PROBLEM FIX: card worked when pushed in & HELD, but didn't lock: spring pushed back. card slot cover not rigid enough to hold, either. tried jamming in wad of paper next to it (friction hold). cut glossy biz card lengthwise, SD-wide, accordion folded. pushed all in with blunt knife. got SD card to click in, remove paper. another: 2-part epoxy to seal card in place. that's permanent!

SPEAKER PROBLEM FIX: speaker sounded tinny. didn't open/replace, just blew in compressed air. fixed!

[megaken14]

[RepairsUniverse]
