There are a bunch of listings on ebay and aliexpress, starting around $110
But then there are a couple of listings on alibaba.com which are much lower (e.g. Guangzhou Yotion Electronic Technology Co.,Ltd listings for $10-30 or Truemax Electronics Co.,Ltd for $69)
On one hand these seem too good to be true; on the other, that's probably a lot closer to how much these parts cost to make..
Does anyone have experience trying these cheap replacements?

I pulled my Universal out of my pocket on Saturday and I have a crack down the screen on the left side.
Does anyone know a good store with Universal parts? I found a store that will repair it for me for US$250, but that is a bit too much. Assuming the screen is US$100 - US$150, I'll do it myself. I can still use it, but I really want to fix this because I love it very much.
If someone has a broken Universal that has a good LCD / Digitizer assembly, I'll buy it from you for US$100 or whatever you think is fair.
screen available on ebay
I've seen them on ebay, but they aren't cheap, the combo screen digitizer is around $200. If you want to do it yourself, there is the factory service manual on the ftp site, it's an illustrated step by step guide for disassembly and reassembly.
here is a link for the manual

I would say good luck, but the manual looks pretty good so you should't need it, just make sure you use an anti static pad and antistatic gloves or grounding strap.
I replaced the screen in an iPaq 3850 (pda-only) a few years ago, so I'm not really afraid of doing it... I just need to find the part in the first place! haha
Thanks for your input.
Just search for "lcd qtek 9000" on ebay and you'll find plenty of sellers of screens. I bought one myself for $180 a while ago. Worked like a charm.
From the XDA-Wiki Click on "Look up the HTC part number". then get the part number, or take apart your phone if you want to be sure. Search for the part number on google.com, froogle.google.com and ebay.
searching with froogle for TD028STEB1 I just found one on ebay. BuyItNow price of $60 with $19 shipping (plus a free screen guard). I expect that if you look a little more you may be able to get one slightly cheaper.
edit: opps I looked the one for Magician, Wizard, Apache, but you get the idea.
Looked for ACX526AKM-7 and found one store on ebay that sells it. Oddly enough the same product from the same store without that serial number in the name is between $4 and $14 cheaper (depending on bidding or buy it now).
The one without is $149.99 starting bid ($159.99) and the one with the serial in the name is $169.00 buy it now (seller "i like parts"). Comes with a tool and screenprotector.
I noticed recently that there are some Ebay sellers selling BST-41 batteries at very low prices. All of them seem to be from Hong Kong or China.
I got this feeling that they are all fakes. This is too good to be true right?
Anyone who got one care to share your experience?
Personally I'd avoid batteries from third parties that are "incredibly" cheap.
Make sure the quality of these batteries are well known. (comments, forums, other users, etc.)
I'm not telling you to stay away from them, but to keep an extra eye open and make a bit of research on the manufacturer before you jump on.
These types of batteries should be rigorously controlled during manufacture, and I bet these cheap batteries aren't so well controlled during the manufacturing process.
Sometimes even some chemical components or processes are skipped to keep the manufacturing costs down.
Risk of third party batteries to catch fire or even explode, due to the lack of quality, are bigger.
I've seen a few battery fires myself, and every time it was due to a "low quality third party battery".
Search the net on "lithium-ion fire" and you might get a glimpse
Just bought a pair, and they don't work.
When you get them, they are charged to around 45-50% and when you put them in your phone, they don't charge at all...
Don't waste your money, even if they are cheap.
I gave around 15$ for the batteries...
Thanks for the replies. Amazon.com it is, then.
I got a what was advertised as a genuine battery off ebay from a uk supplier
and while it works fine in my old x1 it's a tiny bit too short to push itself up enough to reach the battery contacts. Easily remedied though by gluing sone thin plastic packaging to the base.
Still not sure if this is a fake or a factory second as it holds charge fine and has the correct markings. It cost around 10 gbp

I got a cheap pair from ebay that were labeled as Sony SBT-41 batteries, but of coarse the labels were fake. Do a google search on fake Sony SBT- 41 labels.
Also, apparently, cheap batteries can be dangerous

Hi all,
I broke my SGS2 screen recently. I saw there is a very extensive tutorial to replace it.
However, I am puzzled at the offer on eBay. Prices go from around 100$ to 200$ for (allegedly) the same thing.
I can only guess that not all parts offered are genuine, even though they have Samsung written on the front.
AFAIK Samsung is the only one who knows how to produce SAMOLED+ screens so if those replacement are not genuine they should be LED I guess?
Can anyone comment on that? Are the 100$ assemblies (screen + glass) cheap knockoffs with LCD screens or are they as good as the original screen?
Thanks!
Hey the screen of my Nexus 5 just broke down the 2nd time a few weeks ago.
I have already replaced it once on my own last winter and i paid about 120€ for the whole replacement part (screen with frame and everything) but I don't want to spend so much money another time because I'd rather buy a new phone. Replacement screens on eBay start at about €105 + shipping ,but if anybody could tell me where I can get a replacement for a moderate price (about €70?) I would probably think about replacing the screen once again.
After some research on the internet i found some chinese shops on aliexpress.com who offer them for about €60 with free shipping (I'm living in Austria) but I'm not sure if these screens are OEM/good quality and I'm also not sure if there will be any customs duty if I order them directly from China to Austria.
For example this one looks serious to me: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/LCD-...exus-5-1pcs-lot-Free-shipping/1541156424.html (the part itself looks like the one I ordered the last one - some ohters on this shop are looking slightly different) but in the reviews some people say this one is not oem. Will I be able to use it normally with an european Nexus device?
This one for example says it is oem but doesn't have many reviews and is slightly more expensive: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/OEM-...-Touch-Digitizer-Screen-Frame/1584183589.html I think I'd rather pay some euros more and get an oem part but can I buy this part without issues (shipment, duty, etc.)?
Has anybody already made experience with one of those sellers and could recommend me one shop where I can get a good screen replacement (the whole thing) for a moderate price?
Have you tried out ordering there? Or did you go with a more expensive one?
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.
