    Venkatesh, I think that you messed up some cable for the screen. Check them.

    Hi. Thanks for the instructions. My digitizer is cracked but the LCD is ok. I have been told, and read, that the digitizer and LCD cannot be separated. You say they can – so how easy is it to separate them. (Not a professional, but repair laptops, phones and tablets as a hobby). Thanks and best regards

        Hi Michael and Keshav, it’s really extremely difficult to separate the digitizer and LCD. If you’re not a professional, please do not take risk. And you can find the cost of the HTC One LCD screen assembly replacement part on our website. Hope this could help you.

    Hi guys. Thank you for the amazing tutorial on how to repair HTC one. I just wanted to ask you about the aspect which wasn’t mentioned in it – putting the phone back together. Did you have any difficulties doing that? Did you use any glue or tape to make it stick together? Cause I’m about to change my digitizer and the whole housing, would be good to be aware of the difficulties before I face them 🙂 Waiting patiently for your reply. Thank you very much for your time.

      It is not an easy job to take apart HTC One if you are not a professinal man. You can use the special glue or tape to stick the touch screen and LCD display, the glue or tape can be bought in your local phone-repair shop.
