[Q] Cracked screen

I've just dropped my phone and the screen has cracked. The touchscreen still works the same and there is none of them funny colours on the screen like when you break an lcd so think I have just broke the glass surrounding the case.
Any idea how much it would be to get this repaired, don't have insurance on it and it's the first phone I've ever broken (absolutely gutted)

Screen repairs are expensive. If you're brave you could always give it a go yourself, but i know it's around about 100£ or so for a screen repair on a device like the DHD.

If you send it to HTC make sure if you have a custom ROM to put the stock one back on and un-root and set the CID back to default.

I've had a look at the price for the part and its only £35 for the replacement part, I wouldn't mind having a try at fixing it just need to figure out how to do it as I cannot see any you tube videos on how to do this.

Do I have to do this if I sent it back as it is not a repair under warranty I am after. Mind you I have seen the prices they want to fix it and it's quite expensive
Took me long enough to figure out how to root it and then find a ROM I like, don't fancy the hassle of unrooting it

If the phone is still usable take out some insurance, buy a case (to prevent further damage), give it a month or so, then claim off the insurance.

thats what I've been looking at , will cost about 90 quid if I do it that way with the excess and insurance.
The part isn't too expensive and would give it a try but cannot find any guides on how to do it and looks much more complicated to do than the wifes blackberry screen which I replaced myself last year

If your going to do that (commit insurance fraud), you may wish to stop discussing it on a public forum.

from what I have read on this it's not the lcd that's broke it is just the glass screen digitizer.
That link you sent me does sort of have a step by step guide how to replace it, shame theres no video showing how to actually replace the screen but think I might have a go at it anyway

I've cracked my screen

Does anyone know anywhere in london, UK to get a new screen fitted.
I dropped my htc desire hd yesterday and its cracked the screen, there is no ink on the screen and everything is working fine still, so its just the first piece of glass thats broke.
so what exactly do i need to get fixed, i see alot of people mentioning ameled or something like that, do i need to get that replaced as well, or can i just buy the glass myself and fix it myself?
i've checked a few htc repair centres online and they all want between £60 - £90 to fix it, but im sure i can do it myself with the right equipment.

For anyone that knows about this kind of process what would be best for me to get? knowing i have never done a repair myself, im not stupid and can follow instructions well but just wondered would be better for me to get???

this is the full thing so i'll need to just get the phone apart and then install the part.
or
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370550551200?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
which means i'll need to get deeper into the phone and remove things ect ect.
what do you think guys?

someone must know about this?
surely im not the only numpty to drop my phone

Get the one in the first link as changing the digitizer only is a REAL BALL ACHE. The replacement of the lcd and digitizer together as one part is pretty straight forward. Search "htc desire hd screen replacement" in YouTube and you'll find lots of tutorials. I suggest watching a few of them before any attempts. Good luck.

Cheers for the reply, but this morning i decided to pay to have it repaired rather than risk messing it all up myself, i found a htc repair centre that will fix it and return it for £44.99p
so im over the moon with that price, i thought i'd need to pay around the £80-£90.
so anyone else that has a cracked screen, i suggest calling these guys, their very helpful over the phone.
I cant review how good their service is as i have yet to send them the phone,
but so far, so good.
here is the site...

[Q] Anywhere to send phone to get cracked screen fixed??

My father-in-law recently bought an S3 and his screen cracked in the corner. He called it in and they said that they would replace it for him for $XX, and that he didn't need to send in the broke one. This is what he told me the insurance people said to him mind you, I've never heard of anything like that before but who knows. The phone still works perfectly but the cracked screen is an eye sore for such a great looking phone.
I want to see if he will sell me his screen cracked phone but that's only if I'm able to get it fixed. So........ [Q] Is there anywhere to send the phone in to get a new screen? And if so.... Does anyone know around how much it'll run?
I appreciate any legitimate info anyone can give me.

I know the iphone 4s the screens were $100 to get fixed. So at least twice that.

what they do is send you a replacement and in the same box you place your old one. if not they will give you information on what store or samsung place to go where they will fix it for you in about 15 min. like actually replace the screen only. since it is insured most of it will be covered except for about 100$ roughly.

help finding a digitizer and frame assembly.

so i got a s2 with a bad lcd screen, it leaked. the phone is like a week old with no insurance and im sure warranty wont cover this.
anyhow, i can't seem to find the replacement for the tmobile version, only for the international.
can they be cross-used?
anyhow, does anyone knows where to get it? can't seem to find the right one on ebay or anywhere else for that matter.
any help would really be appreciated.

You might be out of luck on this one. The screen is fused to the digitizer and the screen is an AMOLED screen which is not common in aftermarket and as far as i know is proprietary to samsung .

i found that is the whole front housing and lcd/digitizer.
i got the phone for free, and i was thinking on replacing my really beat up sensation with it... for 150 bucks sounds ok, but, it's from china, i dont like that :/
edit: i couldn't find a thread on the forums, but, here is a place where to get the full front off the device, which should make the whole fixing easy:

broke capacitive button cable

Hey guys, my phone got slammed in a car door and I finally paid £130 and replaced the screen because it got damaged to the point of being unusable but in the process of replacing it I accidently broke the ribbon for the multitask button. I've tried searching for the part on eBay etc and can't find a replacement part, could someone link me please? If it's available. Thanks in advance

Dunno, not much parts for the OP3. Have you watched JerryRigEverything? He has a really nice disassembly video.

Confirmed, you DID f**k up.
There are NO official replacement parts available online because OnePlus does not sell them to third parties. Anything you may come across is not official - including that screen you got somewhere.
Even if you don't mind unofficial parts, it's really hard to get small single parts for devices with poor service support. Full screen assemblies are fairly common, pretty much anything else isn't.
BTW, screen replacement in official service center costs about as much as you paid for the screen. Didn't benefit at all doing it alone ...
Don't have many options now, go check aliexpress, dealextreme and similar sites if you find anything. If not, well, ... you'll have to shell out even more £££.
