need screen replaced - Samsung Focus S

My AMOLED screen broke on the inside. The glass is fine but warranty doesn't cover it, it's still physical damage and I have no insurance. I want to do a screen repair but I don't know of a good repair company. I'd rather someone else do it for about 200-300 dollars total. I can try if somebody knows a good guide and a good place to obtain a replacement screen assembly.
Any ideas?

there's one on eBay, right now. Just search eBay for digitizer i937 and it will show up. $179.99. Free expedited shipping from Tampa. I'll give you 50 bucks for the digitizer glass.

Kaiser LCD screen cracked.

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.

Broken Glass

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

cracked screen; all replacement shops are quoting more than the phone is worth...

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.

Oneplus 3T Screen Cracked (Not Digitilizer), have Assurant, should I use it?

Hey Everyone
As the Title says. Just Cracked the OP3T Screen. Touch works on all spots, the screen protector that came with it is keeping the shards of glass coming out.
What do you guys suggest I do? Is it a good use of the insurance I bought it with to replace the screen? Seems like its cheap on Ebay. I don't know how hard the glass screen protector would be to replace, but I've taken apart blackberries and my laptop before and replaced parts.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
Why did you even pay for the insurance if you don't want to use it? I'm pretty sure that if you replace the screen yourself, and then try to claim the insurance for something else in the future, they'll just send the phone right back to you when they notice that it's been repaired. I'd go with the insurance.
Go with the insurance. Should be "free", no?

cracked screen

So the screen got cracked to many flat surface. Drops I think. But it also started getting pretty hot. Anyways I'm wanting to replace it. But not gonna send it in to repair it. Seen to many horror stories there weeks without a phone.
So has anyone replaced there screen? and the only place I can even find a replacement is alibaba. I am experienced in screen replacement. So it's crazy that only on alibaba can I find one. Any help would be great.
Screen is not hard to replace at all.
Nubia charges $119 when they got them in stock. Screen only.
Alibaba sells them for about $145 with the frame. Just get one with the frame for an even easyer install.
You will need a metal pry tool. Be very careful not to hit the antenna contacts on the bottom of the frame when prying. There is light adhesive but nothing to strong. It's a tight fit. Just make sure you don't scratch your frame or break any of the contacts. If you do just relax they can be replaced or just resoldered I fixed a few broken ones from people not looking at pictures prior to jamming a pry tool in.
I contacted them to see if they wanna partner with a repair shop my buddy owns here in Georgia and make him a us based authorized warranty repair center. He's got a bunch of certs but that would help cut down on repair times for them. I know his repairs are typically out within 24 hours of it coming in.
Ya Nubia doesn't have any screens available for sale. Contacting support they want 165 dollars. Plus the screen cost. I can do the repair. It's not hard. But was just wanting to order it to repair
Yeah just order it with the frame. It's not a hard fix at all.
So you transplant everything into the new frame? Battery and motherboard?
