So I have once again cracked the screen on my T989. About a year ago I ordered a replacement screen from a guy on ebay(from hongkong). I paid about $190 for it, it came with the new screen/digitizer already inside of a new bezel so all I had to do was remove my old one and plug the new one in then put it back together.
Does anyone know of a source where to get one similar? Or do I have to order a new screen without the bezel etc.. Thanks!

I decided to have my Evo 4G Digitizer replaced locally. The Glass cracked, otherwise the Screen functionality is the same as before regarding sensitivity, responsiveness, etc.
I want to make sure I am getting an OEM replacement, and not a cheap chinese knockoff. I have seen many chinese manufacturers selling Evo 4G Digitizers and other Parts.
I have a Novatec LCD at present.
The shop told me over the phone they have OEM, But I want to be sure when I go there tomorrow. Any help is appreciated............
Btw, the Evo fell on its corner, so part of the Plastic frame is notched (slightly) where the glass fits into and I want to replace the frame also. The reason is that without that section (1/4") of plastic (the lip,) the Glass may be susceptible to damage in the future.
The frame and the glass are 1 piece. Just go direct to sprint and for 30 dollars you will get a new screen. I just did it last month and it took less then an hour for them to install it

I wish it was that easy for me. Every Sprint store I've called told me I have to go through insurance.
But what they will do is replace the screen if you buy one online...but you have to get the lcd and digitizer. You (the op) might wanna do that since a lot of people have a hard time putting the new screen in.

I have seen this one at Amazon with excellent reviews >

The repair store (Not Sprint) wants $130 for the Digitizer and Install. I didn't know the Digitizer comes with the frame/bezel. I have seen them separately.
Correction to above > I see in the pic that the glass/digitizer is already in the frame.
Regarding Sprint Repair, I have read they no longer replace the glass. I called the local Sprint Store that does repair. They said they don't have the parts and that they no longer replace the glass, and that I have to go through Asurion. I may have to call another Sprint Repair shop to inquire.
I didn't know Sprint Repair replaces Digitizers that are Customer bought. I doubt they do that in NY especially, but I may be wrong........
I have a replacement coming from Asurion tomorrow, But figure I can get the Digitizer replaced locally so I can keep my Evo as other than the Glass, it was working perfectly. I don't feel like having issues if the replacement has problems.
I do have TEP obviously,

For what it's worth, $100 can fetch you an evo in like new condition on the right day on craigslist (or IRC for that matter...)..
Sell the broken one for parts & use the difference to buy one if you really want it.
I hear ya.
But I already have a replacement coming from Asurion later today if I want to keep it.
It's all about who you talk to. The first time I went into the store they said they wouldn't replace it. I went in the next week talked to someone else and he did it
I can get my Digitizer replaced for $80 at a Sprint store
But I just picked up my Asurion replacement Evo and it is Brand New with Froyo 2.2 installed.
I'm gonna keep the new one and Root it.
Can I put my old SD card in the New Evo before Rooting the New Evo, or should I put my old SD card in the New Evo after Rooting?
I have the Rooted Gingerbread and a bunch of other stuff on my Old SD card.
UPDATE:
Put my original SD card in my new Evo and Rooted it
Everything working well.............
Hi everyone,
First, I hope there's not another thread opened about this, I promise I did several searches and couldn't find one that was close enough
I have some question about screen replacement.
My dad just dropped his note 2 and damaged the screen (really unfortunate, it was really a little drop!), so I was looking into buying a screen from eBay and replace it myself. yes, it's tricky, but not all that much imo (big +1 to the guy from the YT channel LE55ONS, his videos about this kind of stuff are amazingly well done).
So, the screen is broken, the display is not, but if I bring the phone to the rapair guy he will almost certainly replace the screen and the display for €200+
If I buy something like this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40
and replace it myself I can do the whole thing and spend some €50 tops.
I was thinking about this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gray-Front-O...item3a7dc376c5
Here come the questions. Can anyone point me towards a good screen replacement for something around $20/30? Is the quality good? I asked the seller if it is actually gorilla glass 2 and he said yes.
Also, these don't have any connectors, the original one has 2. I can always use the connectors from the old screen, but if someone knows about a screen with connectors included, can they please let me know? There's nothing like asking to someone who has already done something like what I'm about to do.
Thank you everyone
Mine dropped from two feet and hairline cracked across the whole screen. I bought the full assembly LCD/digitizer. Did the repair per LE55ONS. AOK now. afterwards, i tried to pry apart the digitizer. In my Note II is is bonded with transparent gum covering the entire LCD. No way to replace only the digitizer.

If you buy the digitizer with the screen attached that's sooo much easier to replace, it's almost not even risky. But it costs somewhere around $200, the same as having it repaired by a professionist. Did you find a cheaper replacement?
Hi guys. Just bought my second note 2 after my first one sadly broke.
I bought a new one for $300, as it is in terrible condition (bezel is in shocking condition) and the screen has been poorly replaced (dirt and hair between the glass and amoled.
Bought it for a bargain as I can get a new bezel for $16 and new glass for $20 on ebay.
Only one thing I have noticed, the gyro/accelerometer doesnt work. Could the previous owner have bumped a cord or something while he/she was replacing the screen? Is this a simple fix.
If someone could reply with a picture of a diagram of the mainboard showing where the gyro is situated maybe I can have a closer look.
Plus, if for some reason it is completely shot, can you replace this part easily?
I would flash an official rom, if still does not work then its broken.
Yeh I have, no change.
There a part I can replace it with? Or is there a conncetor that I can double check is in place?
A far as i know its part of the motherboard so the end user will find it hard to replace.

So I dropped my screen a few months back and the glass cracked. It still worked $100 percent and since the glass wasn't shattered it didn't prevent me from using it. It was only annoying me so i decided to order a new glass and replace the glass. During this replacement I completely ****ed the phone up.
From what I understand there are 3 separate pieces, the LCD, the touchscreen digitizer, and the glass itself. I was supposed to pull the glass apart from the digitizer but instead pulled both up leaving only the lcd behind. In the process I completely shattered both glass and digitizer and severed a ribbon cable.
I couldn't link to an imgur album and the images were too large to attach so i put them in a rar file. As you can see in the pictures my new glass is completely transparent and the old broken one has a tint to it, and an extra layer attached. That was how I came to the conclusion it was the digitizer. I have tried to see if I could just replace the digitizer but all the pictures I've seen don't show the cable that I severed. I have no idea what that cable does, only that it was connected to the tinted portion of the glass.
Important to note is that the phone works. I hear it power on and if i get a notification it plays the sound and vibrates no issue. I just can't SEE anything. Does this mean the LCD is broken too? Or will it only power up when it has the digitizer attached? Is this repairable, if so, how? if not, where did I go wrong?
At this moment I am not due for an upgrade til June, and I don't have more than $100 to spend on a replacement so if I can I'd like to fix this one to both save money and not have to downgrade to a lesser phone.

You can buy a replacement screen with a digitizer attached but it will cost over $100 and the way your phone is now it may not be worth doing yourself. You can get a pro install for around $200. You may want to wait for your upgrade then.

Yeah I was hoping there was a cheap fix but I screwed myself. I ended up buying one off eBay that has a bad charging port for $100. I'm just going to swap the mobo and I should be good to go.
Sucks I had to spend the money, it was a gift from my brother for a birthday tattoo, butit's a learning experience. If I ever try to tackle a glass replacement again I know what NOT to do.
My Gpad fell from my hands some days ago and the screen is shattered, it is perfectly usable so only the glass (not the digitizer) is affected.
Bad news is the lg official repair service ask 190€ to fix it, and in Spain you can get it brand new for 240€!!!
I'm looking for alternatives... Has anyone installed new screen by themselves? Any recommendations?
(the tablet is usable, but I'm afraid the broken lines will increase with time...)
anyone?
Cheaper buying a new one. Even cheaper second hand
