Which Version Do I Need? On the HTC Evo 4G there are two (2) versions

of LCD screens available – “Normal” flex and “Wide” flex

You will need to determine which LCD your device uses PRIOR to ordering a replacement screen.

The most reliable way of determining your LCD version is to open your device and remove the back housing, exposing the motherboard. All other methods of determining LCD version have proven to be unreliable.

Things you’ll need

To determine the LCD version you will need to partially disassemble your device

Be sure the Evo 4G is powered off

Remove the battery cover, battery & memory card

*Note that these screws are all the same size

Disassembly - Step 2

Remove the back cover using a pry tool or Nylon Spudger. Work your way around the outside edges releasing all the clips holding the housing in place.

Be careful of the volume button coming out of the frame, put this to the side for re-assembly

Locating the LCD Flex

The LCD Flex Cable is located the bottom most flex cable located on the side of the motherboard. There may be tape covering this connector.

Gently remove this tape and lift the black tab on the side of the connector and release the flex cable from its socket.

Determining LCD Flex Version

Use your ruler to measure the connector. There is a large difference in size, so this should be easy enough to determine. Wide = approximately* .5 inches, Normal = approximately* .25 inches

Normal Flex =

Roughly ¼”

Wide Flex = Roughly

½”
