[Q] Broken Screen- Cheap replacement?

Hey guys my one x took a tumble and the screen is cracked all over. I called htc usa and they said it'll cost 200 dollars to fix. I do not have that kind of money but it breaks my heart to see that beautiful screen cracked. Have you guys managed to get it replaced for cheaper anywhere in the USA?

There is some screen replacement on amazon, you should try it out, but if only if you are sure you can install them correctly, diy kind of things.

Cracked screen? Replacement? Parts

So I can't find any replacement parts for the vx and I can't find anyone who knows where to get them. Guess I'll have to wait a bit. Any ideas

You should buy "water damaged" device from ebay and use its screen/LCD.
Do not buy replacements from china makers. Bad quality parts.

Any one know of a parts company for M7?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone found a good parts company yet for the HTC one? Especially if it's in the UK.
I've cracked the glass circle lens for the camera. I have to say I did absolutely nothing yet it's cracked from the centre spidering outwards.
I have seen whole backs for sale in USD. But it seems silly for a centimetre bit of glass that I can just pick out, and push in a replacement.
Any help is appreciated. Google and eBay have been of no help at the moment.
Thanks

I'm thinking it would be near impossible to replace it yourself. Apparently the One is incredibly hard to tinker with as far as taking it apart.

I'd have to agree. I have once again blown a speaker in mine...this makes 3 our of 5 HTC phones I've owned through the years that have had busted speakers. =\
Anyway, in my Hero and OG Evo the speaker was easy to replace, I didn't even bother replacing it in my 4g LTE.
This phone, however, is apparently one of the hardest as far as repair work goes. Ifixit rated it 1 out of 10 in the department.

HTC One Housing

My dog chewed my front htc one housing n e clue what to do - Also friends I have a HTC One Dev Group on whats app - Anyone wants to join just pm me ur number - Cheers !!

There are spare housing elements on ebay and etradesupply. A full housing set is around 40 USD. You will need some skills to replace it yourself though.
// sent from my phone //

Pics? Just wanna see the damage, I HAVE two dogs and I'm terrified when their around my phone.
P.s. yup, get it from etradesupply. Plus there is a thread around here somewhere about instructions on disassembly and reassembly.
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.

I'm going to tell you right now its probably better to leave it how it is as long as its functional. It takes a lot of time and effort for this repair here is a guide for it I wish you the best of luck.( http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494/1)

Dunno how true ifixit really is to be honest. Someone here repaired their HTC One just fine (search for the post) and I was able to open up my Surface Pro pretty easily as well even though ifixit gave it the lowest possible rating.

Even if they did you can't say its anywhere near as easy as the galaxy s4 or s3. The phone is not meant to be pulled apart that's one of the reason for the uniebody design. I will say most of there guides that I have followed has never told me wrong and are extremely informative. The whole point of me posting it is just to show op what he's in for.

Actually HTC has their own tool for opening the One which makes it easier. I recommend giving it to an HTC repair center and pay the price :/

My M8 El Smasho - UPDATE NOW REPAIRED

Unfortunately because I'm a complete tard I have managed to obliterate the screen on my 2 week old M8. Basically left it on the roof of my car and drove off. 30mph later and a loud bang on the rear windscreen leaves me with a smashed screen. Not happy as you can guess.
Has anybody got any idea of how much Regenersis will charge to replace the screen and body to make my baby look new again? Also what sort of time scales in the real world do these chaps work at? Is the workmanship up to oem standard?

With the M8 you automatically get HTC advantage. The will fix your screen for FREE one time in the first six months. Call them, it's completely free. My brother sent this in a about a week ago and got it back yesterday.

Mine has no such leaflet, maybe they didn't put it UK Carphone warehouse ones
On the UK advantage site it says coming soon so maybe it's not in the UK

Feb 18th - that would be pre-order. Over in UK it didn't release until April.
On the down side, just checked my box, no 6 month warranty leaflet (Vodafone UK purchased 26th April)
Just found this

Oh cripes, is it true that all UK HTC ones get shipped to Poland for repair?! WTF? Will I ever see my One again? I sent it to HTC as I assumed it would be a high standard repair with genuine parts. Now i feel like I'll never get it back and it'll be a shoddy repair if it does. :crying:
EDIT: According to UPS HTC have had my device since Friday Morning, but the HTC tracker says awaiting device?

Or, because the US is the land of Lawsuits (no offence to anybody from the US ) HTC decide that maybe it is cheaper to replace screens for free and covers their a$$e$ rather than have people bring lawsuits against them for not fit for purpose screens. (I am in no way saying that the screen is not fit for purpose by the way lol, it's my own stupid fault.)

Well, I finally got my M8 back from Regenersis HTC repair centre and I'm very surprised.
The total cost of repair was £103.31. I was expecting at least twice that amount as the phone is good as new especially considering the difficulty of the repair.
They have replaced the LCD, the bottom speaker panel, the middle assembly and the back cover. I'm quite impressed really as HTC were quite helpful whenever I contacted them and the whole thing has been pretty painless. It took less than 3 weeks from sending to receiving. Thumbs up for HTC :good:
The breakdown of parts:
LCD & touch- £43.06
Bezel pre assy - £5.58
deco plate upper assy - £1.17
Deco plate bottom assy - £0.89
Labour - £22
Shipping - £11.29
VAT £19.32
Not sure which one of those is the back cover, but it's been replaced!
That means that HTC charged about £50 +VAT for the actual repair. The parts themselves cost double that. No point in buying insurance at that cost.

The LCD is only £43 what's that close to $80??

Around $75 at the current exchange rate. There is a seller selling just the touch screen and LCD for $190 on eBay. The part I have been charged for is a complete assembly including the housing.
It seems maybe HTC are only charging cost prices for the parts. Maybe this is so as not to discourage people from buying the phone because of scary repair costs.
I honestly can't complain about the repair cost or the service. After reading some dodgy reviews I was expecting a worse experience.
