Broke my screen. Is 250 euro to fix it excessive?

Hello there
A few days ago I was using the public transport when my Note II fell on the ground. When my girlfriend asked if it was broken, I replied that the Note II was unbreakable. When I picked it up my screen was broken (karma hits player 1 for one million thousand trillion points). I mailed to the store I bought it from and they told me it would cost 250 euro's.
I'm wondering whether this is a normal price for a screen replacement.
Thank you for the replies!

Stores always want to rip you off! I have seen issues about screen on the galaxy s3 which obviously is different but almost the same. The glass can be bought for under $10 online and there are plenty of YouTube videos with instructions on how to do change it yourself. So to answer your question yes I think $250 is wayyyyy too much

If it were me, I'd attempt to fix it myself, after reading up extensively and making sure I had the right tools.
Only you can contemplate whether it's worth it for you, watch some YouTube and make a decision

The alternative is getting it fixed in a local 'foreign' shop here in my city. Not entirely reliable, but I have little to lose.

Did you ask if they were going to change just the front glass or the whole display such as glass+ digitizer+amoled? Because if it's just the glass then it would be a major rip off! It's not that simple to just change the glass since it glued with an adhesive and you'll need to be very careful when removing it.

Well they said they had to replace everything, which probably explains the hefty price tag.

I'd do some research before running to pay. These companies tell us w/e they want in hopes of making more money off customers

First of all. If the screen is scratched or broken but still works it means than the screen is not damaged. Only upper glass over screen is broken and you can buy one from ebay for 20$ and replace yourself by video tutorial on youtube. Anyway if you fail to repar it yourself you can anytime go and replace whole screen for 250 eur. But I think its worth to try to repair upper glass only if screen is still responding after damage.

Broken screen + Big dents in bezel.

It happened yesterday, i knew it would happen at some point...
Anyone know how much it will cost me? The device is still working fine, but i have no idea for how long it will..
It's pretty funny actually, i was thinking about buying a case, a few hours later my phone fell on the ground.
So, any cheap repair options and useful cases for the future?

Visit cnn.cn I've bought from them before and have no complain. You'll find the rear housing for around $10 and if your screen still responds to touch and asking as your amoled is intact then you probably just need to replace the front glass which is also cheap and around the rang of $10 - $20. However, if your amoled or digitizer is unresponsive then the whole screen assembly would cost you around $320. Good luck.

[Q] Dust inside the touch screen

Hello Optimus G Pro fans,
I read somewhere that the reason why Apple decided to glue the LCD and digitizer is to prevent dust from entering the screen.
Since the Optimus G Pro's LCD are not glued to the digitizer, this could theoretically prone for dust accumulation inside the touch screen.
To prove my theory is wrong, I am asking you, Guys,
In real life, Has anyone notice a dust inside the touch screen after 6 months to 10 months of use ?

After one month i already got 2 spost in the top left corner, right next to the programmable 'quick' button.
I think it's not sealed well next to the button so dust could enter. You can only see it in bright daylight and the 2 dots seem to have trails to
Is this a reason to contact the lg service center? After 4 months of daily usage it has zero scratches on the screen (and on the phone to) i handle it with extreme care. I never used a screenprotector or a phone case or something.
I'll see if i can make a picture today or tomorrrow.

I have it also on the right top, but its very small and you cant see it so easy.

It's a free display replacement if you are under the warranty period.

I have dust in now. The phone was probably dropped before so now the bezel doesn't meet the frame perfectly

It's not possible to ship anything in my country atm. :/
I read somewhere that it's impossible to change digitizer without changing lcd is that true ?

That is false. If you only damaged the digitizer then no need for a lcd replacement but if your screen has parts that don't show a display or the whole display isn't showing than the lcd is damaged. In your case I think that only the digitizer is broken. Google some methods on replacing the digitizer on mobile phones.

Scratched screen

I've unfortunately managed to scratch my m8 screen with keys, the scratches are light, but annoying when the phone is switched off.
Is there anyway to clean these out? I heard somewhere that toothpaste works?

Is your scratches on the screen if so then why dont you send it to htc?htc offers free 1 time screen replacement within first 6 months. :laugh:
Also you can use small bit of toothpaste. :angel:

Thanks. I did think of that, but I have an unlocked bootloader with s-off, which I guess voids my warranty?

Try to return each and everything to stock(rom/recovery/kernel)then lock bootloader then act like you dont know that you have S-Off device.In us and uk they wont see if you have s-on or s-off.Also you have to act a bit.

Those scratches are noticeable only when screen is off.you won't see them when you are using the phone, so I don't understand why does it bother people...
Do you look at your phone when it's switched off? I mean more then a second?In my opinion, What you don't see, is not worth worrying about.

You are right I guess. Plus I just realised the HTC advantage programme is not available in the UK. I would have to use a local outlet.
Toothpaste it is then!

Just be aware the screen has a special coating, if you rub it off where the scratch is you may find this leaves a noticeable patch and you may end up having to remove the coating from the whole screen.
