I just dropped my trusty 2nd gen nexus 7, and the screen smashed, and is not responding to touch.
I've seen videos on the replacement, but where is a good place to source the parts? There are limited reviews on amazon, very mixed about the quality....and ebay seems the same price but without any reviews.
Anyone done this and can recommend where to buy from?

Ebay and Amazon are your best bets for the price, and u should take ebay into serious consideration, not all of them are rip-offs, especially for the price
Direct from China at Aliexpress. I see two listings below $130.
I'd go for a second hand Gnex though. They come and go at Craigslist.
I live in Canada so buying from ebay or somewhere canadian would be helpful.
If you bought it from the Google Play store there's a chance you might get a replacement. There have been people who have called in saying they broke their screen and Google replaced the phone. It's YMMY, but it's worth a shot first before looking around to buy a new panel.
There are plenty of screen replacements on eBay for around $100

Not sure about the quality of those ones though. Could be knock offs or faulty. Unless someone knows a trusted seller?
I'll try contacting google but the screen replacements are for americans only.

With ebay you have to do some research. Find what you're looking for, then read the seller feedback and search for the item you're looking to buy. If people are leaving positive feedback about it, then you shouldnt have anything to worry about. I buy iPhone screen replacements all the time and havent had an issue yet.

I've purchased three N5 replacement screens which I carefully researched and went with the ones that seemed to be the best rated sellers (not just the cheapest option). I would never again go that route. IMHO but none of the screens were Corning Gorilla Glass 3. They each had issues that stock phones did not (dead pixels, attracted dust like a dust magnet, changed the touch characteristics, etc...). Last phone that I needed to replace a screen for I ended up going with Play Store and they did a free exchange of the unit.
I found a solution. LG in Canada charges a flat rate of $150 to fix the display which is much better than $200+ from local shops.
Google will send you another Nexus 5 if you bought it directly from them.
Might as well keep that $150 and put it towards a newer device (Nexus 6) .
Sent from my Nexus 5
I would just dump the Nexus 5 and save the money for the Nexus 6 or pick up the new Moto G.
Hey, my friend's kid broke his Z1C's glass, now it doesnt work properly, so he wants to replace it. Hungarian stores do it for around 100-150 bucks, but I've found some replacement screens on eBay for around $35-40 (with glass and digitzer). Are those low quality ones? Does anyone have any experience with them? I know that my Nexus' cheap replacement screens are not the best choice, that's why I'm asking. Can anyone suggest me any trustable sources with mostly cheap prices? Thanks for any help!
it will work but the quality is a bit lower. for normal user it is ok, for some not.
I would prefer let it change officially and buy something else for kids to play. Moto G for example.
I recently picked up a oneplus one with a deadspot on the touchscreen for 130 dollars and am looking for a replacement screen. There are many ranging from 50- 100 on ebay, aliexpress, amazon, etc, and I am unsure of which seller I can trust; some lack the capacitive buttons, have touchscreen issues, and so on. Can anyone who has replaced their screen with good results provide a link from which they bought theirs. My budget is anything under 60 and ideally it should ship from the us. Thanks.
I just bought 2 screens. One was from China and showed up with a dead spot in the screen. The other was from seller tradestar55 for $70 and the screen is perfect also its a US seller. Highly recommend avoiding the China crap and spending $20 more for something in the US. Go with tradestar55.
Like batteries, buying a good replacement screen for a G4 is hit and miss. Can you recommend a good quality replacement screen to buy?
Amazon...they're all the same been through 3 already

Don't use fixez they sell substandard screens the one i bought was not even gorillas glass even though they claim OEM.
Replacement screen would cost you almost as much ($25+) as many of the used LG G4 on eBay going for. I recently bought 2 of these phones for less than $40 each on eBay. Another option where you for sure get an oem original screen is buying a bootloop phone online very cheap and salvage the screen from there.
Would Ebay be the best place to buy a bootloop bricked G4? An advantage is I could just take the working board from my G4 and drop it into the replacement without having to completely disassemble.
