How to repair a HTC Touch Screen Mobile??
A home touchscreen repair could be easier and far cheaper than you think
It's the modern nightmare: a slip of the hand, an absent minded moment and a split second later your life lies there shattered on the floor.
As desperately depressing as a broken phone screen may look, it may not be as terminal or as expensive as it looks.
All phones are obviously different, but many use separate elements for the touch-sensing component called the digitser and the actual LCD/OLED display.
The digitiser sits at the front and often when dropped it's this that shatters rather than the display.
A broken display usually results in rainbow effects and the display not working in sections. A broken digitizer will continue to work, just with the nasty cracks.

1. We're going to look at replacing the HTC Desire S digitiser element, while not identical it'll be a similar process on many other models. These cost as little as £10 and should come with a suitable pry tools. You'll also probably need a jeweller screw driver set and ideally a set of Torx (star shaped) drivers sized 4 to 7.
2. Clear the work area and light it well. We're going to be dealing with tiny screws that you should arrange in order, as you remove them. To begin remove any cover, battery, SIM and SD cards.
3. For the HTC Desire S we start by removing four size 5 Torx screws from the base around the battery cover. If in doubt it's a good idea to photograph your device as you go along.
