Looking for a replacement screen for my kindle fire hd 8.9. Can anyone tell me the difference between a LCD Touch Screen and a Touch Screen Digitizer?

Sometimes sellers will list the "touch screen" as just the glass that you physically touch. The "digitizer" is the sheet of sensors under the glass that register the touch. With either one, just make sure the other is included and you'll be good.

I don't have a kindle either but I'm pretty sure that almost any stylus will work on any touch screen. Unless your using a stylus with Bluetooth and need to pair it to the device it should work.

I don't think your LCD is Cracked... Touch Screen Digitizer is completely different than the LCD... The touch screen digitizer is the outer screen ... The LCD is underneath the digitizer... So I think it's the touch screen digitizer that is cracked not your LCD, so yes this would work if your outer screen is cracked

Nope. The version that comes with the digitizer had a different screen for that specific purpose and other digitizer s work with that model also. The none digitizer version works only with your finger touch.

The touch screen digitizer is different from the LCD screen so you have to be sure your LCD screen is in good condition before you replace the digitizer. I hope this will help you.

My kindle is just the Kindle Fire, not the HD version, works fine. Just much easier to use hand rather than stylus for me though.

i think you need to replace the LCD if it is bleeding, this is just to replace a cracked screen, which is just for the touch screen not the lcd

No! Do not buy this product it is a waste of time and money. I thought I would be able to replace just the digitizer too, but it requires great skill and/ or a $10000 machine apparently (what I was told by a screen repair technician) when your digitizer cracks, you have to replace the LCD as well. Which is actually pretty easy. Be sure if you find a screen, to also purchase the double sided tape to adhere the screen to actual frame. Also be sure to buy the LCD flex ribbon that attaches to the display. When I bought my new screen, after buying this pointless digitizer, it did not come with a flex ribbon, making me wait another week to get it in the mail. Good luck.

If the phone is still operational, whereas the touch functions still work and a good picture, then it's just the glass you need. If the touch function isn't responsive, its the digitizer. If there is no picture, obvious crack in the picture, or color bleeding in the picture itself, then it is the LCD.

Just a guy,Thanks...that helps me decide what to do. I checked again...to see if maybe I was going crazy...and I definitely 'see' previous screens after leaving them....sounds like a call to Kindle Support! As long as they don't take my Kindle without getting me a replacement FIRST! : )Thanks again

The one I have is a touch screen. They have one that is not. You can tell by the price. :-)

Yes. This product is the full LCD Display + Digitizer. The digitizer is what makes the touch work. You could buy the digitizer alone, but it is not worth the hard work it takes to remove just the digitizer without screwing up the LCD. This is a much more convenient and fast solution.

Hello....I am not familiar with kindle; yet Yes it would work great with any touch screens... I have been using this product in extreme environment and it worked well for me and my colleagues.. It has been the best stylus I bought by far.. I am sure the seller will make every effort to backup the product they sell (based on my own experience with the seller and her great service and follow up.... I am sure you will never get disappointed with the seller)......thanks, Mike

Hi Rachel, Nope, there is a digitizer that is also needed as even the "Pros" that I went to would not attempt repairing the screen without it. The price of both is around $165 for the necessary part(s) and the pros typically charge about $50 so your out of pocket would be a little over $200. Sorry for the bad news.

My order came w/ both a standard black plastic stylus (which does not work on tablet or any of these newer touch screens. And it also came w/ a tablet/touchscreen stylus (if that's what you call it). the touchscreen stylus is nice (a bit small but it was free) if you don't want to get your screen finger print smudges. You can always order more here on Amazon for like a buck or two.

if it didn't come from the manufacture of your device it won't work. Amazon sent me Verizon screen and ruined my tablet my burning out the digitizer. replacement screens are cut perfectly for your device.
