OKay so my screen cracked, don't know how it happened. I went through town and the people i got it from say that cracked screen like this wont be covered under warranty
Other places said 50-60£ for replacement. and another place said 100£ because touchscreen thing makes repair more expensive.
is there anyone here who knows a reputable and CHEAP place to do this for me in the UK.
any advice appreciated. i picked up a cheap 25£ phone to last me till i sort out the screen on my kaiser.
Thank you.
I got a Replacement LCD for my TILT for $69usd at WWW.HTCLCD.COM
you can pick up genuine ones pretty cheap on ebay, and they include the torx screwdrivers and instructions to fit it yourself.

Help,
I've duffed up the LCD on my XDA. The poor thing looks like it is bleading to death.
Anyone know where I can get a replacement? :?
http://www.pdasmart.com/pdaphone.htm
Sheeesh $199 bucks!
That seems a pretty huge chunk of dosh. I think ebay for someones old XDA may be a slightly cheaper alternative.
Out of interest I have found a company called Proporta www.proporta.com that do screen repairs for £45.
I'll let this forum know what it is they do and if the price is right!
Thanks for your help!
bleading screen!
hi there.. i've finally found the right place for my problem.. well, yes my fone's screen is BLEEDING! it's tearing my heart! and again YES 200$ is alot of money.. so what've you found? is it cheaper anywhere else?
My solution
For the record, I have yet to find anyone in the UK who fixes, or replaces these screen. At the rate I am going I am going to start a business doing it myself! Proporta do the touch panel part not the LCD.
OK I'm not advocating this to everyone, but this solution worked for me.
I bought a used XDA of EBAY. Cost me £110, already cheaper than sending mine to the US for a new LCD. I have swapped the LCD out of the new one to my one. (my broken one had 64Mb, the ebay one only had 32Mb) So OK I now have a casing, battery, motherboard and a dead LCD as spares. I will either keep these spares, for my soon to be established XDA repair shop or I will sell them on.
It's not the bestsolution, granted, butit did get me back on the road for less than sending mine of to the US.
As for an XDA repair shop here in the UK, I'm thinking quite seriously about it, it wasn't a joke. I just need to nail down a decent supplier of LCD screens!!!
My screen busted today. The actual screen did not break but I guess the crystal or whatever shattered. The screen lights up but its not readable.
I found a US seller on ebay of replacement screens but they just told me that it does not include the digitizer which is what makes the touch feature of the screen work right?
Can you take the digitizer off the stock screen and apply it to another LCD?
Does anyone know of any place that sells the LCD and digitizer unit already together so that all I have to do is pop in the new screen?
I had purchased the item before I knew it didn't include the digitizer but I emailed them and asked them to refund and cancel the order because it didn't include the digitizer. In the off chance they refuse I'd like to know if there is any way to utilize the stock digitizer.
Please let me know of anyone that sells the LCD/Digitizer unit as one piece so all I have to do is pop it in the phone in case they do cancel the order so I can purchase another screen.

Screen Repair
I broke my Tilt screen, too. I sent it to Mobile Device Repair (http://www.mobile-device-repair.com/). I mailed from Central Texas on Monday morning, had the unit back by Saturday, and it cost under $100 for the parts and labor. Matt McCormick is the person I dealt with.
I'm Matt from Mobile Device Repair and wanted to do a quick updated on this post. I actually changed the name of my company recently to Jet City Devices so if you're reading this post and want to find Mobile Device Repair, you'll actually find us here:

The inevitable has happened and I dropped my HD2 and now the glass is smashed into pieces.. the touch screen still works and the lcd looks fine underneath. A couple of questions;
Wheres the best place to buy the replacement parts?
Do I need to just replace the glass or the whole screen?
Is it a difficult job to replace it? the iphone was a bugger to do.
Hi,
I have got the same problem, always carefull and than in a split second it slips out of your hand. With me the "touch" still functioned but the glass was shattered.
I called HTC (in Holland), they have a service center where they can repair it and get full warranty back. It is a very expensive joke (I got a quotation of 267,50 Euro).
I could have my HD repaired by a non-htc company, but they did not give any guarantees. Prices were the same...
I heard that it is possible to only replace the glass, but almost always the digitizer is also (partly) defect. And if not then the chance of braking the digitizer is very big when you try to seperate it from the glass.
I had a lot of calls with my insurance company (no phone insurance) and finally they agreed to pay for the damages.
I hope this helpes a bit, good luck
Regards

how about a broken camera glass, does anyone know how much that costs?
yes
mine broke to and i would repari it
but im wondering to repair it alone becouse there are alot of glass lenses on ebay for like 5 us !
Think you can pick 1 up for about 50bucks..
Check --»Here«-- and --»Here«-- for detailed disassembling and assembling your Hd2..
Checking to see if anyone knows of or has a source (other than eBay) for screen replacements for the focus. I've got a badly cracked screen that I'd like to replace, but samsung direct wants $156 and the cheapest on ebay is $98.xx coming from overseas. Everyone I found via google is in the $120's give or take now as well.
Kindof kicking myself for not picking one up when I had the 10% off ebay coupon and there were US sources at $98.
Just bought 2 screens from a wholesaler. Installed one and its working great. Need sim card replacement tray now. Can't find them anywhere. If anyone has a link please let me know.

I'd like to know where you got the screens too.
www.wholesalegadgetparts.com, US wholesaler, $99.00 bucks, BBB rated etc... I just ordered one.
******** UPDATE, this seller is legit. Fast shipping, and the new digitizer/screen is flawless.
How about some info on disassembly and replacement?
So, if your 2 year old is like mine, he's quite efficient at shattering your phone's screen. SO, I went online and found a replacement screen and set sbout installing it myself. I make no claim at any sort of electrical know-how... Damn it Jim, I'm a med student not an electrician. But I do enjoy my gadgets. Anyway, I went online and found some you-tube videos and successfully changed out the screen! Woo-Hoo! I used a hybrid of the two videos as one of them seemed a little too, much but it had a good rebuild sequence.
The first video has a good description of how to remove the screen (I didn't use the hair dryier and it worked just fine), and the second shows how to put it back. The second video should also be good to show how to replace other thinsg (camera, etc.).

I hope this helps people out there make their own replacements a success!
I have a cracked glass, the LCD and digitizer are fine. I have found someone that sells the outer glass for $16. My question is if I can get the digitizer off the old glass and onto the new one.
I honestly don't want to spend $100 on a screen replacement when I can buy a slightly used one for $150...

On ebay is 12dlls the glass, somebody told me that they fix it in a mall were i am from (Mexico) they heat the screen to disolve the glue but i'm not sure about this. The total of the price should be like 35dlls the replacement.
I cracked the screen on my Nexus 6, however the LCD and digitizer still work fine. Every replacement shop I have spoken with in NYC is quoting me $220-250 US to replace the entire LCD / glass screen together and won't remove and replace the glass screen alone. I paid $250 CDN ($180 US) for this phone, so spending that much on a screen replacement isn't worth it to me.
What alternatives do I have? How difficult is replacing the glass screen alone? I know its bonded to the LCD, but is it worth while to try and repair? Can anyone suggest a shop that does glass screen replacement alone in NYC?
Thanks

buy a new n6 instead of replacing the glass
Seconded. We get far too attached to devices and our judgment becomes clouded. If the repair cost is more than the device is worth, then you've pretty well answered your own question. Me, I'd go for a Oneplus 3.

I highly doubt that you will find a repair shop that just does glass. Just google the price of the screen, the cheapest screen I found is from china for 134 on ebay. That price range is about normal depending on where they get the screen for. At the repair shop I help manage we charge the customer for part+tax+shipping+50 for labor. Why not just do the repair yourself, if not, then your alternative is buying another one. I have run into plenty of phones that it is cheaper for a used phone, than for the repair, and we let customers know that. We normally order the phone for them.
Swappa should have a fair number of used devices available. If looking to upgrade, other devices can be found there.
When I broke my screen a few months ago, I looked around and the glass-only replacement looked like a real pain. I just got a used one in excellent condition on Craigslist for $100 and called it a day.
I honestly don't believe that it is even POSSIBLE to do a glass-only replacement.
Not just because you can't buy just the digitizer (glass), but because the AMOLED layer is only about a QUARTER OF ONE MILLIMETER THICK, and incredibly brittle.
While you could potentially do the job without the front FRAME, given the price difference (about $5-$10), and since you would end up spending that on GLUE anyway, you might as well do a full frame replacement.

Its a fairly easy job.
The only tools you really need are a T3 torx screwdriver and a hair dryer to soften the glue on the back cover.
It's not impossible to do a glass only replacement, but a glass-only replacement is not something I ever recommend. Not only because the AMOLED display is so thin, but because getting the glass off requires softening optical glue and wedging things between the digitizer and the display. More than one of my fellow Galaxy S4 owners destroyed the display trying to replace only the glass.
Replacing the entire display, preferably with the midframe, is the way to go here.
Motorola offers an exchange for $150... I did it a few months ago, fairly easy process.
