Hi, any one know where the best price for a Universal LCD screen in the uk, not the touch part. Supply only. I know there are some on ebay, but was wondering if there was any cheaper you guys knew of.
Cheers
Chris
The best deals that you will be able to get will be straight from china. Try and do a search using the part number on google and by searching the first 5 pages you should be able to come up with at least 5 solid links. Many businesses seem sketchy b/c you can only pay through WU but you must take the risk to get the reward.

hi, tron, if you need the lcdscreen with a cheap price, please contact me.
did you contact eric429? did you get the screen if so what price?
so im looking to sell my extra nexus CDMA it is in almost perfect condition accept that best buy ruined the volume down button when they put on the a zagg screen protector
so im looking for ideas on how much i could get for it.
replacement part is only ten bucks, just dont feel like doing it my self
Well you'll get WAY more than $10 back in return for just fixing the issue yourself before selling it. Most people won't buy it broken, even if it is just a $10 fix.

GSM model has a much higher resale value. The Verizon ones have been in the mid $400's for a while.

Sorry for the OT, but 500 for a basically new GSM GN? Is that a good deal or normal? Because that seems cheaper than anyone is selling on the internet. (retail, I mean. I don't know anything about 'used')

You can find them retail around $600 shipped. I got mine for $565 with a coupon. So used in the low $500 range isn't crazy for GSM.
One of the pins broke off of the SIM connector whilst using a SIM adaptor and I was wondering where I might get a replacement? I have looked online briefly and I can't really find much replacement parts for this phone yet, unless I am looking in the wrong places?
I remember this happened to my SGS I-9000 and the part only cost like £5 from eBay and was modular so I am hoping this one will be as easy to replace too!
**UPDATE: It seems that unless you are an expert with a solder (and I mean expert!) then you will not be able to replace this part since it is soldered on to the circuit board rather than a modular part, so I am putting a list of places recommended by posters where you can get your G3 repaired.

Sorry to hear that I had a nano-sim to micro sim converter and that got stuck twice so I thought its not worth the risk and swapped it for a micro sim I am sure there are parts out there but as the phone is very new they may be hard to come by.

On a Google search, it seems that this is a common issue with these adapters, especially cheap ones, and other people have had the same problem too. I had figured too that due to the phone being new, there are basically no substantial source of spare parts that I can find as of yet..

Might be worth contacting this company to see if they can do anything for you in sourcing a G3 sim reader?

Found this as well although they are expensive I guess it depends on how easy it is to repair.

The same happened to me (d855 32gb europe)...now the phone is on the repair center in Italy, but it will take 10 days to repair. I bought another one... The sim tray of the lg g3 is really terrible.

How much is it costing to repair? I bet it's only a £2 part which you could do yourself lol
i thought it was just me,i had the same issue. the sim adapter is really fragile

They didn't tell me, but not less than 60 euro I think. At the moment is the only solution, we can't find spare parts by ourselves.

I bet they are making a good profit on it since the part is not available yet!
This is the email I got:
We don’t have the item in stock.
Once we have it, we will let you know.
Please let us know if you seek further assistance.

I imagine this is a good enough reason for a replacement or a warranty repair?

Yep - I returned mine last weekend. Picked up a new one today at Best Buy.
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app
I wonder if someone has tried an LG G2 SIM connector off eBay or wherever and see if that one can be used since it wouldn't be more than £5/€5/$5?
I have the same issue with my D851.
Screw it, it's on eBay
Who knows where to buy?

Same here,...
Ehh... Just happened to me 5 min after unboxing the phone
Has anyone found out if the warranty will cover that and if not how much the repair is?

You can try to claim from the actual store you bought it from rather than the LG warranty as that would be quicker but otherwise it's about a £45 repair from the sites that are offering it.
Actually, I never owned the phone but saw one on eBay that I was considering buying that had this fault but I really cannot understand why no one on here has bought the £5 LG G2 SIM part from eBay (as I had mentioned a month ago on here) to see if that one fits as if it doesn't work then you have not lost anything! That would have been the 1st thing I would have done if it happened to me as I am no way paying £45 for basically a ~50p part which I can just repair myself since all phones are modular these days.
....What kind of idiots own this phone?!

Well, I have mine on 2 year warranty and will try to get it fixed through the authorized service shop first. Will see how that goes. If it is too expensive I will search for alternatives.
Hey guys
After doing some searching I wasnt able to find the answer.
As the title states where can I buy the screen and the digitizer combo for cheap?
I found few local places but they were over $60.
Please let me know
Thanks.

The only other place is China for around 10 bucks less. But be warned that it's a hit and miss. You'd need to make sure they test the thing before shipping. And still, there's a chance. Best way is to look at the vendor's rating on Ebay. The inconvenience, of course, is time.
Hello xda folks,
Has anyone bought any spare parts for their 10 and can recommend a site where to get them? UK/EU preferably import tax from the states really drives the price up.
I found a couple of places through google but no reviews on whether the parts received were actually any good.
I'm after a replacement battery, screen and possibly a back cover.
Thanks

Have a look at exe UK, they have a shop in Surrey I think and possibly you can send it in instead. I'm thinking of a new battery at some point but might wait until it gets so bad I can replace under warranty. Let us know how you get on, that company looks ok and I'd probably use them if I was out of warranty
