Cell Display: LCD Screens Parts for HTC One X+

Smartphone LCD Screen Replacement

The LCD in a phone is responsible for displaying the images you see on the screen. It is located beneath the digitizer, otherwise known as the touchscreen. LCD screens are quite sensitive and can get damaged when a phone falls on a hard surface or into a fluid. If you see a black hole or webbed lines on the screen of your phone or if you can no longer see any images or texts, it is highly likely that there is a problem is with the LCD. The issue can easily be fixed by a replacement and you can have your phone functioning normally in no time.

What should I consider when getting a replacement screen for my phone?

• Model part number - The leading guide to getting the right screen is determining the model part number of your phone. The screen you get should be a matching one.
• Size - Before purchasing a screen, ensure that the size is the right one for your phone. You can do this by measuring the previous screen or confirming from the manufacturer. This way, you won't get a smaller or larger screen.
• Resolution - This is the number of pixels on display. Higher resolution means more pixels and as a result, clearer and more detailed images. Choose the one that is compatible with your device.
• Finishes and color - Most screen assemblies will either come with an anti-glare matte finish or a glossy finish. You can choose whichever you prefer from the two. For your HTC One X phone, the colors you will find are black, white, and gray.

How do I replace the LCD screen assembly on my HTC one X Phone?

To replace the damaged LCD on your HTC phone, you will need a screwdriver and the screen assembly for replacement. The procedure is a simple one but will also require precaution lest you damage everything else inside. You can follow the steps below:

• Begin by switching off the phone and removing the tray that holds the SIM
• Remove the back cover of the phone. It is attached with adhesive tape and so you may need to use hot air for easy removal. Once opened, you will see the motherboard, which is held to the phone by 6x Philips screws
• Disconnect the volume buttons and the touch screen flex cable, dock connector flex cable, and Mic flex cable one by one.
• Lift the motherboard and disconnect the LCD display flex cable, the navigation buttons flex cable, and the power on button flex cable. From there, you can disconnect the battery.
• Separate the LCD and touchscreen from the frame using hot air again to make it simpler.
• Put adhesive tape on the frame(you can also utilize the one left on frame) and install the new LCD. Assemble all other parts one by one in a gentle manner.
