Hello i have cracked my z3c screen completely. I search around and find out that it cost around 120 euro for a new screen but i think doesnt worth it now, especially when phone worth less than 300.
Does Anyone experience any of those non genuine screens from aliexpress? I had use one before on my lg g2 and it was great except from the brightness but i can live with it. It costs only 30 euro.
Please share if you have any good or bad experience from non-genuine screens replacements of sony z3 compact
thanks
Right, off brand LCDs are not as bright as stock. But if you did not break the LCD, and just broke the touch screen digitizer glass on top, you will only need to replace the digitizer.

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 )

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.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Today my phone leaped out of my hand and shattered its screen on impact with the ground.
I rang a local phone repair man, and he said he could replace the glass for £50. Great!
When I got home I did a quick search and found a few places where it said that this is not possible, something to do with the glass being stuck to the LCD underneath. Apparently you need to replace both the screen and the glass together.
Does anybody had any experience with this? Am I going to be stuck with a hefty repair bill?
Thanks
The glass is with the digitizer wich are very hard to be separated, even impossible. But if he has some spare part from another SXL he can give you a lower price i guess. I don't think that the price is to low. Here it costs about 120 eur. So you can ask him if its a new or used one. Just to be clear. And don't forget to take your battery with you when you leave the phone. Because there is 99% chance that they swap your battery
XL imposible to change digitizer only

On HTC XL it is imposible to change digitizer only .I just experience myself and ruined semi usable phone with cracked but fully working glass. Touch digitizer screen and lcd are (unlike some other models) GLUED together.!.
So sellers who sell digitizer only for 30$ are essentialy fakers, not telling you that it is imposible to change Digitizer only. But for 30$ many try and both throw that money and render phone totaly unusable. So they must buy whole LCD +TOUCH assembly that is much expensive. now about 150$ .
TIP: If you have cracked SXL - use it that way if you can (like me 30day with almost no problems) or buy whole assembly. No middle here
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.
Today I got accident and my screen cracked a bit. But, everything function normally(touch, LCD or screen). So the question: do I need replace screen digitizer(touchscreen) only or must replace both LCD&touchscreen?
I read somewhere, must replace touchscreen+lcd but in my case it is only cracked screen, LCD working fine.
Glass and LCD are glued together and those are also glued into frame. It's possible to replace screen by purchasing glass + lcd as 1 unit but this means you have to pry the old glass from the phone's frame.
What I did was I just bought frame + lcd + glass as 1 unit form Ebay. It's much easier and risk that you'll break something is much lower.
Thanks for info m8...

How to find the best replacement screen
Today my Nexus 5X screen has cracked. However the touch responses and the colours are still great. Just the front screen cracked.
