Hello All. I am from India. Recently my mi3W fell and the top of the screen got a crack. After that top half of the touchscreen stopped working but bottom half was working fine. But yesterday,probably some dust particle went inside the crack and the whole touchscreen stopped responding. Now, the display is just fine and it's only the touch which is dead but I don't think there is a separate digitizer available for mi3.
So, I need suggestions whether I should buy original LCD from Xiaomi which would cost me almost half of the phone's price or can i buy one from ebay which would cost me around 2.2K.
Also,in case i end up buying one from ebay, will the color,sharpness and other display properties be of the degraded quality and noticeable to naked eye?
Also, if i buy it from ebay and give it to authorized xiaomi service centre will they agree to change the screen with the new one which I will give them and take only the repairing cost?
Also, whats the best and cheap option on ebay.in ?
Heyy dere.
Its better if u order from aliexpress bro.
Ebay i dnt think so d quality of the screen is gud.
U can even check out reviews of oder people in aliexpress. Try dat once
Hi,
Amarjot25 is right. Aliexpress gives a better option than eBay as there are some screens on eBay that are not good. I have broken my screen twice now. The one I am using currently is from eBay. I got it for 2k. It's not bad but looks delicate. There is no visual difference between the first one and this one. It's just how it feels and behaves when it gets heated.
Got my display from a seller named Mi_shop on eBay , got 1 year warranty with it . the first time the display developed some random lines (after a month)the seller replaced it free of cost , get the display only from that seller , he's the only one who gives 1yr warranty . the display is almost exactly the same. Other sellers on eBay seem sketchy.

Hello, since the screen (digitizer) has several annoying scratches I want to change it. I've searched on ebay and I've seen many cheap sellers for hongkong or china... Are those items as good as the original ones?
I purchased a new lcd and digitizer for my touch pro from ebay. I know its for a different phone but i cant see any difference between the diamond and touch pro other than the screen shape. (i have also had a diamond) It was £25 for the pair of them
To be totaly honest i cant tell the difference from the original. The touch works perfectly. The lcd screen is also equally as good.
As i tip i would get the digitizer and lcd as one unit, i have replaced several digitzers and lcd screens on alot of phones and it can be tricky seperating the 2. For the few extra quid in my opinion its not worth the hassle, or the risk of damaging one.
Thank you for the advice
eBay Screens are good IMO
I have purchased a couple of Digiter / Screen combos from eBay. So far I have not had a problem with any of them. One that I had ordered was from New York {HP iPaq}, & the other I ordered was from HK {T-Wing/Herald}. I just bought a used Diamond & it has a small scratch on the screen. This is annoying the Hell outta me so, I looked on eBay at screens. I usually try to find a true OEM replacement. I think that I found that @ this eBay page: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260468938303&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT . This is the best deal that I have been able to find. I know you're not in the US but maybe this helps anyway.
I bought a digitizer with lcd from ebay. The seller is from china or HK. The digitizer working good but the lcd quality abit lousy. display kinda dark compared to the original lcd. perhaps the pixel not same as the ori.
Anyway, if you think of just getting the digitizer, shud be fine. however you must be assure that you can replace it as it kinda difficult to change. unless you very confident on you soldering skill.
I have tattoo but my lcd is broken , so i wanna to buy it , price , some where i can find it or ???
i am looking also for a new screen; anyone?
there are both digitisers and LCDs in ebay ... but be careful when shopping there
also I've seen a few other websites offer LCDs or Digitizers or both but they were like 2-3 times the price,
what is the difference between a lcd and a digitizer?
i just wanna replace my screen because there a some scratches on it.
what is good price for it?
the digitizer is on top of the LCD display
when you touch your phone you touch the digitizer and it digitizes your finger's input and that's what you can scratch really.
since the LCD is below there are different problems with it - I think there can be burned pixels, etc. but there can't be any scratches.
3-4 months ago a pair of LCD+digitizer+screwdrivers was round $30-50 and I've just checked it - prices are the same right now
by checking for the digitizers right now it looks like they are going round $7-$11
I would personally buy from one of the $10 sellers with good feedback and lots of items sold similar to this one (first result in my ebay page though )
http://cgi.ebay.com/Touch-Screen-Di...457181?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2305d1491d
i buyed this one about 6 months it still work great
price is 44$ but im not sure was original or not
i can not trust any body
Hi,
is there any information available how to change the digitizer?
I just sent it to HTC care and they fixed it. Working as before.
hey guys
so last week something unbelievable happened to me and i say unbelievable because no one will believe what happened but thats it what can i do about it xD OK so last week my G Watch fell from my hand while wearing it and it fell off on my Xperia Z from about 20 centimeters and i didn't care that exact moment because i said like WTF it wont harm the device and after 2 minutes i opened my phone aaand its just not working the screen was broken from the area on the left of the microphone and the phone wont work but from a special small area anyways i went to my local Sony agent and he told me that the digitizer cant be replaced alone and that they will be replacing the whole LCD Display so i went to some other 3rd party repair-shops and they said the same thing and they will be replacing it with a non-original Display that cost 1/5 the price of the one that the Sony Agent offered me ( Sony Agent told me that it costs 170 Jordanian Dinars which equals 240 USD and the phone itself new unlocked costs pretty much less than that in my country ( Jordan ) )
Anyways i was wondering guys if i can replace the digitizer alone by myself (by ordering it from eBay or so and disassembling the phone and replacing it at home ) or should i replace the whole LCD Display ?
(Sorry if i had any English mistakes but i"m not a native English tongue )
Best Regards,,,
I had broken touch screen and i watched video on YouTube how to repair just touch screen, ordered just touch screen from Ali and I broke the digitalizer so i ordered whole screen with mask after. My point is, if you don't have tools and skills (or is you first time) buy whole (touch screen + digitalizer) and replace them.
Good Luck!

thanks bro :good:
Digitizer and touch screen are glued together making it impossible to remove the touch screen without breaking the digitizer that is made of thin glass.
I replaced the combo on my first Z after my car key fell off from above 15cm or so onto the screen, same story as yours! (X_X)
But:
1/ Besides the combo touch + digitizer piece you also have to buy the sticker as the actual glue around the frame will get destroyed while removing the screen.
2/ If your phone is old, you might want to buy an original battery to replace your existing battery.
3/ While reassembling the battery in the phone make sure it does not stick out from the plane surface otherwise it will push on the glue and reopen your phone. Mine had a piece of plastic on its side with harpoon like features; it looked like it had been forced into place with harpoons retaining it: crappy design, to my opinion.
Some 3M strong and thin double side tape might also be useful to keep the battery into place especially if you keep the original one which might unfortunately get a little bent while un-glueing it from the case...
In any case, you should consider its waterproof feature gone!
Good luck!

Just dont go for non orignal diplay you will regret it, most probably they will order a whole new CHEAP QUALITY front panel from ebay which will have poor quality of screen and all the ports. Also the power button will become a bit hard to press.
I did the same mistake and gave my phone to a local phone repair shop which was cheap but my phone went dead the very next day after it came back from repair. I agree Sony Service Centre will charge more but your phone will be in best possible condition.
My suggestion go to Sony people for repair.....
Hope it helps you
Thank you guys very much i really appreciate your help and i think i'm going to the Sony agent because i dont have that much of experience to disassemble the phone and i might get it even worst instead of fixing it :\
again thank you really much guys
Just pay attention to pay a fake screen no original one there's a few different things between the original one
I pick this one up for $100 from Best Buy when it was first released I think I was on a pre-order and I used it for about a month and I loved it for the price but I must have cracked the screen somewhere and I sent it in for warranty replacement because the phone will turn on ring and be usable except the screen will not turn on. I finally heard back from the warranty company and they told me that the screen is cracked and was not covered so I've been looking around for a place on screens all over the Internet for this phone and it's Chinese equivalent the Gionee elife s Plus and I can't find any. From what I've been able to ascertain there is a screen and digitizer combo that's pretty hard to separate or fix one or the other. Does anyone have a resource to find replacement parts for other possible other phones that use the same screen or digitizer that I can use in here?
This site has a screen : ww w bluphoneparts c om
Thanks for sharing that, I had found that site, but the price is a little high as the phone itself was $100 new, and they only have the black, not the gold color that came with my phone.
Hi, today i found out that i can't work with my phone in the pouch, i've broken the glass simply by picking something that fell on the ground. Now i need replacement, some suggested me to buy the LCD with the frame, others say that a s*itty frame could give me issues with gps and antennas in general. I don't want to wait one month for a replacement screen only to find out that the quality is rubbish, so i ask you: what and where is the best replacement part i can buy? Thanks in advance

All the replacements you buy will be the same sh*t quality, the only difference is gonna be the price. The best solution is to take to the Authorize MI service centre, but that will cost a lot and it will probably take a month. Or, maybe finding a damaged/used Mi Max which has a and not damaged screen.
just wait for max3

Eh, I bought this replacement screen on Amazon for $36 CAD. It came in about a month, and works just fine. It *is* a bit dimmer than the stock display, so I have to use a brighter setting when outdoors, but otherwise, no issues. It even comes with the tools / 3M Tape / Etc for the repair (though I didn't opt to DIY, I paid a local shop $50 to do it for me with my provided materials).
