HTC Desire - Screen Shattered

I have broken the Digitizer/Touch Screen, but not the LCD Display.

My phone is a PB99220. How do I tell if it's a G7 - Google - Bravo - G3 - A8181 - or any of these other names I see used around the net? All I can find written on mine is PB99220, and on the serial# sticker it says P/N: 99HKZ091-00     B.
It does say "with Google", and "WITH HTC SENSE" on the back cover.

My real question is: Does it matter which version of the Touch Screen/Digitizer you use? Do they all work exactly the same? Are they all interchangeable with each other? Mine is a part# 940-682-1RA (found on printed circuit board attached to Touch Screen). Can I use one with part# 940-663-1R1? What part#'s/descriptions, etc. do I need to care about when ordering one from someone on eBay?

Thank-You Everyone who Answers!

Do not get the glass replaced with Nexus's glass because the design of both the phones are different. moreover Nexus have touch sensitive buttons. Go to the HTC center and check the availability and if it is not there apply for the same and tyou will get the screen by the company.

My experience is from a new (april 2011 manufacture date) desire.


Sorry to contradict one of the super fonts of all knowledge on the forum, but from my experience there is now only ONE certain way to know what screen your desire has in it and that is to take it apart and google the serial/part number on the back of the broken screen. #

DO NOT TRUST THE BOX TO IDENTIFY YOUR SCREEN CORRECTLY !
DO NOT INVEST IN A REPLACEMENT LCD UNTIL YOU ARE 110% SURE !!!
DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR REPLACEMENT SCREEN UNTIL YOU HAVE CHECKED YOUR OLD ONE VIA GOOGLE FOR THE SERIAL NO.

I have just bricked my phone by following contacting HTC (with my serial no's etc.... which they said they could not tell me what type I had, and to check the box) and then following HTC's instructions of "look on the box" as there was no mention of AMOLED on my box, but the screen inside my phone was a Samsung AMOLED.... noticed too late...   
phone = dead



and similarly, No.... my experience contradicts yours also.... if you contact HTC they will inform you that broken screens are not manufacturing defects, even if it is only the internal LCD display that died.... and will not offer you warranty repair.


So to Sum up.....
A. Do not trust what the box says about your screen.....
B. Do not go ahead with a swap until you have googled your existing screen and made "extra sure"
C. Do not expect HTC to cover you with warranty for broken screens (even if just the internal screen is broken)

Fixing it will cost around 150 EUR, but I have no idea if it's a branded or unbranded phone, so it's hard to determine the actual price of a new identical one.  Even then, there's no guarantee that nothing else is broken as a result of the drop.

Personally I'd just give it to him.  That way he can't blame you if it turns out to be completely broken.  But then again that's just my opinion, and we all know what opinions are worth.

Tell him to check twice which screen he needs and orders.  Putting the wrong screen type in a Desire will kill the phone completely as soon as you power it on.

I smashed the glass on my HTC desire a few weeks back and I found this website off google. It cost my 55.00 in total with the postage and it was really quick. I didn't have the bottle to try it myself
