Hello, i wanted to ask this without making a new thread but the search is really bad on the app version of xda... I cracked a corner of my screen and everything still works but the screen is ugly now. Has anyone replaced it at a repair store without Insurance and can share how much it cost? Thanks in advanced.

If you are good with fixing electronics and the LCD is fine you could replace just the glass yourself for 15 to 20 bucks. The replacement glass+LCD+digitizer is a lot easier to install, but also a lot more expensive at ~100 bucks or so. Don't know about repair shops as I do my own repairs usually. Link to just the glass replacement on amazon:

Note: this is a fairly difficult repair. Don't attempt unless you are sure you can complete it. Hope this helped.

There is an adhesive which holds them together. How do you go about separating the glass from the LCD? At what temperature do they begin to move apart?
I may have a few broken screens from older devices. I'm curious to test this.
Well, getting my One X screen replaced by a local company didn't go very well. Ended up with one of the cheapo ones where the digitizer is not bonded to the LCD (at all), so you get an "inverse bubble" in the middle of the screen if you press on it (to clean it for example). Now it's sticking and stops the touchscreen working! Clearly I will get a refund, but now I need alternatives. Tried a few other repair companies, but none will say if they use a proper machine-bonding method to join the LCD and digitizer.
Have any of you sent your One X off to HTC for a screen replacement? They refuse to give any kind of quote over the phone - just that if I have it picked up and looked at, and I then decide the repair cost is too high, they charge £30.00 to return the phone.
Alternatively, do any of you know a supplier (that ships worldwide), that has the genuine bonded digitizer+LCD screen? ebay is full of the cheap ones that are separate.

I'm pretty sure HTC charge around £170 for a new display, although they may charge more given it has already been repaired poorly. As far as I know they get the displays already bonded as one unit.
To be honest, you might have been better off selling it on Ebay for spares and purchasing another brand new phone, there is one on Ebay with a completely smashed screen at almost £200.00 with 12 bids and still time to go, so they are in demand even when damaged.

So as the title says, i'm able to get a Gnex for $50 + the repair costs.
my friends dad dropped his Nexus, broke the glass and wants an s3, so he's selling me his nexus for $50. It's only the glass that's cracked, touchscreen and the actual screen itself still works.
I was looking at dissasembly vids, and galaxy nexus repair parts online and found that the screen assembly appears to be a whole.
You can buy that whole assembly for approx. $150. But I also found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Outer-Front...273?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2572820bc9 which appears to be just the glass front that I need. (excuse me if I can't link outside).
Is it possible to separate the front glass panel from the screen?
I build computers and i've repaired my DHD in the past, so I guess I could say that i'm advanced in repairing techniques, but i'm not really comfortable with soldering electronics or anything. Is it just a case of prying the broken glass off and glueing the new glass back on?
As a poor college student, i'd much rather attempt a difficult repair, than going the easy way and paying $150 bucks for a new screen assembly.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

Can't take it apart... they are fused together. Don't make my mistake and buy the lens on eBay. My advice is buying a used LCD digitizer from eBay or it still works fine sell it on eBay and double your money... you could get about 100 on there

I've got a cracked screen but the digitizer works fine. I noticed Amazon and eBay sell replacement screens but two local repair shops told me it's virtually impossible to replace the screen without damaging the phone so I they recommneded buying the screen and digitizer.
1) Does this sound right? If not, can anyone recommend a repair person/shop in Boston?
2) If they are right, can you recommend a place to buy the screen and digitizer that won't cost an arm and a leg.
Thanks
You'll never get the screen off without damaging the digitizer.
I have no idea the best place to get a replacement screen digitizer combo
Sorry I could only answer half your question

I've used www.mobiletechvideos.com a couple of times in the past and I highly recommended them.
Hi I'm wondering where I could source a replacement screen for this device as none of my local phone repair shops seem to be able to source one
http://s.aliexpress.com/BRzQZBBV
Here you go and good luck with the replacement
P.S.
If you are looking for the black model, follow this link: Replacement Display

Has anybody got a reliable source? There seems to be a global shortage of these bloody screens and besides the official Lenovo replacement costing 90% of the price of the phone, there are no other options available anywhere. Nothing on AliExpress, BangGood, Alibaba, eBay and anywhere else in my coutry.

+1. Cracked my screen last week, still fully functional but crack pattern is expanding and I don't trust it to be usable for a long time to come.
Been searching for replacement screen assembly but found nothing. Going to try contacting Lenovo technical support in my country now...
Lenovo tech support pointed me to a repair firm.
Repair firm asks to send the phone in, after which they provide a quote. If I don't agree to get it fixed, I have to pay a few tens for problem analysis. Like wtf, it's a cracked screen, you change it, it's a standard job with a standard cost that you can give me before I send it in!
Called another repair firm. They can't get the screen.
Apparently these screens are just not available.
They are on Aliexpress right HERE.
Expensive as hell though, considering you can get a new P2 for 180 euro's or a new screen for 160.

Thanks, that one is gone again though. And yeah at that price it's ridiculous.
But I've just found this: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/For-...lgo_pvid=b8eb5b04-c098-4a2b-a5ea-f9e34e6da00f
$113, which amounts to €94, with free shipping. This seems acceptable.

Well, the seller had just one of them so I bought it. Now let's hope my cracked screen stays functional for the time it takes to get the new screen here...

Seems like nowhere.
The order I made on aliexpress was subsequently cancelled because of it being "out of stock".
Options at this point seem limited to:
1. get it fixed for stupid money (not even sure whether any fixing service can get their hands on it)
2. try to locate a damaged second-hand phone with working screen you can buy for less
3. if your LCD and touch input still work fine like mine, just put up with it and wait for some months until people start upgrading and the asking prices for second-hand models start to drop
4. meanwhile, search on aliexpress or ebay every single day and hope a screen gets available for an acceptable price
I dropped my phone yesterday and the screen shattered from end to the other but the phone is working fine. I have just ordered the replacement front glass off of ebay for £19.99 from HK but seems a bit too cheap to me but worth a gamble at that price. Only problem is I have no idea how to take the phone apart and separate the glass from the digitizer! Are there instructions about I could follow or is my best bet taking it to a mobile phone repair shop to get it done?
I can post the ebay number if anyone is interested.

Have you got instructions on how to take the phone apart and separate the glass from the digitizer? The last part is what i'm worried is going to be extremely difficult?!

You tube. Check the entire display removal tutorial. Then check glass replacement tutorial for galaxy s8.
After taking off display, you have to chip off the glass from display after heating it with a hot air gun. Then remove the residual UV glue from panel. Then after making sure panel is clean, apply new UV glue on center, then place glass on top and then press from center gently to spread the glue evenly and that's it.

Thank you but i'm never going to manage to do that myself, I don't own a hot air gun for a start. Looks like i've wasted £20 plus the postage as I doubt i'll find a mobile phone repair shop to do it for me, i'd happily pay someone to do it if I could find someone!
