The glass on my kindle fire HD (bought july 2013 and 1st generation) broke, but still works find. Do i need digitizer or not? Confused on which to buy

The concept is simple: if you can do work the apps thru the broken glass, the digitizer if fine. However, I'm a pretty handy guy and it was a nasty experience. I recommend you call Amazon and take the replacement deal instead. Good luck. Dimitri

Yes, the digitizer is not fused to the LCD on this phone. This will be all you need to fix a cracked glass.

yes. the digitizer is the glass screen on the front of the phone that fits into the phone's chassis (frame). it is just a flat piece of glass with the black trim and wire that you see in the picture. it is not the lcd screen which is behind/underneath the digitizer screen. if your screen cracked from an impact that didn't seem too severe, then your lcd screen is probably still ok. when removing and replacing a cracked digitizer screen, use very little heat to soften the glue around the edge of the screen, otherwise you'll damage/destroy the lcd screen underneath. i'd actually recommend using the tip of an clothes iron instead of a heat gun or blow dryer. good luck and take it slow. yes. the digitizer is the glass screen on the front of the phone that fits into the phone's chassis (frame). it is just a flat piece of glass with the black trim and wire that you see in the picture. it is not the lcd screen which is behind/underneath the digitizer screen. if your screen cracked from an impact that didn't seem too severe, then your lcd screen is probably still ok. when removing and replacing a cracked digitizer screen, use very little heat to soften the glue around the edge of the screen, otherwise you'll damage/destroy the lcd screen underneath. i'd actually recommend... » Read More yes. the digitizer is the glass screen on the front of the phone that fits into the phone's chassis (frame). it is just a flat piece of glass with the black trim and wire that you see in the picture. it is not the lcd screen which is behind/underneath the digitizer screen. if your screen cracked from an impact that didn't seem too severe, then your lcd screen is probably still ok. when removing and replacing a cracked digitizer screen, use very little heat to soften the glue around the edge of the screen, otherwise you'll damage/destroy the lcd screen underneath. i'd actually recommend using the tip of an clothes iron instead of a heat gun or blow dryer. good luck and take it slow. « Show Less

Hi, we can confirm that this is outer glass (Digitizer) which fits on top of LCD. If only outer glass is shattered then this is the item you require. But if LCD is broken too then you would require LCD too.

The digitizer is the glass! Make sure you get one with the iC chip, unless you have a hot air rework station to transfer the chip from your old glass/digitizer.

I had the same problem. And for not being very careful I ended up cracking the digitizer (the part of the screen that detects your touching it.) so that made buy the whole part, meaning the digitize and screen. i got it from a company in china that sell real oem parts.hope this helps!!

I honestly don't know. I own a kindle fire, not HD as well (not sure of the generation).you could always get the cover and return it, if it doesn't suit you. Caution though if you are not a prime member, there may be shipping charges.

Billy is quite right. I would do the same. But as he says it is not so easy to change the digitizer as the screen it selfe. So be sure you know what your are doing before you start. BR Mads

I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" that one of my kids dropped on the floor and cracked the screen. I would recommend this to someone with a reasonable degree of mechanical aptitude. Definitely watch some Youtube videos. The hardest part I had with this project was removing the old cracked screen. I'm sure it would come out much better if it was in one piece. I used a blow dryer to heat up the adhesive enough to scrape it out with a razor. Then I used acetone (nail polish remover) to remove the left-over adhesive. Thankfully, the new screen comes with the adhesive already on it. *Tip: pay particular attention removing the speaker wires from the motherboard.

I only replaced the glass with this kit. I do not know how to replace a digitizer - good luck.

The Palm TX comes with a plastic digitizer. The touch screen that is used for stylus input. Over time the plastic tends to stretch for lack of a better word and you begin to experience problems with drift, etc. The glass screen eliminates this problem and in fact gives the TX a more solid feel. There are 3rd party programs that can also address some of these problems but over time they will return. This replacement will markedly improve the funtionality of your devise. The site on E-bay is called itsnotthere. The gentleman fixes and sells updated palm devises. His rating is 100% which is incredible, but he does excellent work. As I mentioned for a fee he will even add an internal microphone. There are other places that sell the digitizer but you will have to install it yourself which takes a degree of skill. For about $75.00 you can have it done professionally and have essentially a new Palm TX.

The best way to tell is where your digitizer hooks into the iPad. Some don't use clips and they use the double sided tape which in my opinion isn't as good unless you plan on breaking the screen again...then its a cakewalk to remove again. I'd go with a different one than this if possible.

Yes it does have the digitizer. I mistakenly bought just the glass replacement first which was a stupid mistake because there is no way to cleanly take off the damaged glass from the digitizer so this was a good find because it was easy to swap since it was just a few screws and connector ribbons. Make sure you hold in to your home button though because it does not have that.

If your LCD is fine than yes you only need to replace the glass. As a heads up some sell just the glass and some sell the glass with the digitizer. The digitizer is the touch response component of the screen. If you buy it already together it is a much easier and quicker repair and cost difference is very little.

From what I understand, you only need this if your screen is cracked. If your screen is cracked AND it does not respond to touch inputs then you may need a digitizer as well.

Hey I had the same problem and bought just the screen and tried to do a screen replacement that didn't work out because of the digitizer was cracked under neath. This product worked really good and if you go on youtube and type in htc one s screen replacement and it will show you how to do it yourself.
