I remember a while back that alot of us were breaking our glass above the lcd display and had no way of fixing it. At the time, a couple of months ago, Viewsonic kinda told us that we were out of luck as they did not repair or sell the glass. I tried calling Viewsonic today and was pleasantly surprised. The gave me an RMA number and I have to ship it to them. They are going to replace it with a refurbished unit. Now it is not free, 150 bucks, but it is better than purchasing a new one or getting a Xoom for 600 bucks. It is worth a try if you have this problem, the number I called is (310) 228-4000, ask for tech support and explain the issue. They do not care if it is rooted or not, or even if it has Tap n Touch or not. I figure with all the returns after Christmas they probably have a bunch of refurbs and now are providing them to customers, just a guess. I tried searching and could not find a post for this and apologize to all of this is old news. Hope this helps someone.

I broke the glass screen, called (310) 228-4000 on 12/1/2011, they sent me an email with an RMA# and told me $145 for a new screen put on my existing tablet. I am sending it to them tomorrow. I did have 5 or 6 small scratches here and there so it will be nice to have it look new. I never had it in a case and I plan to give it away once it is fixed. It is such a great computer I really got my use out of it.
Scree replacement.
Please check this thread The [Tips] collection thread , and look for 'screen replacement'
It was done, and perhaps with cheaper price tag.
Dave,
That does have an LCD replacement but not the glass. Although many people have been looking for a new LCD and the new one does have better contrast and slightly better viewing angles. It is $55 from amazon.
I have a cracked and scuffed touchscreen on my x10 and for $30 on ebay I was going to replace the screen. My concern is that I can get ones from China for half the price of the USA and some say 'Grade A no bubbles' but others do not, are these quality screens from China or will I be diasspointed?
Has anyone had a bad experience replacing their touch screen with the Chinese products? They say OEM but are they from Sony or are they knock offs and is there build quality concerns using the cheap ones?
in my opinoin when it comes to electronics , especially from china, you get what you pay for, id rather pay a little extra knowing that it will be ok
Agreed. With china there's a 99% chance that what you are buying is not OEM. Likely it's very cheaply made.
Yeah I hear ya... that is probably exactly what I would had replied to this post if someone else asked the same question.
I was really hoping someone would tell me that they bought a screen from XXXXX on ebay and it was better then the original but I guess I need to decide if I want cheap or quality.
I've already replaced the phone with an HTC EVO 3D but there is alot of life left in this X10 and it is a great platform for hacking and learning android. Plus they make awesome tiny tablets for around the house.
Thanks for the input.
I got white replacement from china which is quite good.. I won't say its authentic, but here in the UK most replacement dealers get there stuff from china anyway.
Buying from China is like cutting out the middle-man, the down side is just you need to wait.. And if you think they are not what you think your money's worth, you could always tell them you did not receive the item and get your refund.
try to buy from best sellers only...otherwise nothing is guaranteed.

Hello guys, I operate from China is not good, shipping times are very long, why not order from Germany or thereabouts? I ordered this screen protector from Germany and arrived in 3 days, I am very well, without delays or other touch ... Regards, Joseph

Globalshining
Maybe i'm the lucky one, bought one from globalshining on ebay for 20 Euro and thought: well if this aint gonna work, it;s 20 euro's thrown away. But here in my town (germany) they ask 80 Euro for it. After 8 days!!! I received the piece: fitted perfectly but it was at least one hour work to get the overly scratched old one of and the new one on. I did search google for disassembling instructions for the X10 and found one with lots of photo's. Without these instructions, you easily brick your phone.
Regarding GlobalShing: its on ebay, or eshoptradehk dot com I first checked the ebay ratings: then decided to do so..
But do get your own screwdrivers cause the one from China dont fit at all....
Cheers
hey could someone help me with a link?
i just cracked the front screen on my fone and i need to replace it. would like to replace the whole screen and case.
i googled a few, but i was not sure if they included the front screen cos its the front screen thats cracked.
then i also learnt that the touch module is glued to the front glass screen, will the new case screen also have one attached to it or would i have to remove this one and stick it to the new one?

i just cracked mine too, I just ordered a new digitizer from ebay for $20. I think thats all we need to fix the cracked glass. Anyone know if this is right?
thats right.
Hey i found those---> http://stores.ebay.com/gadgetfix/Sony-Ericsson-/_i.html?_fsub=1408041015 and http://www.ebay.com/itm/Touch-Digit...-XPERIA-X10-BLACK-/170720772774#ht_4581wt_989 and the last one http://www.ebay.com/itm/SONY-ERICSS...-screen-digitizer-/320603153459#ht_2960wt_952 .Which one should i buy?I want to sell my X10i and buy an LG Optimus 3D so i think to make a little touch-ops.Can you give me an advise?I want to make from my old 1 year old xperia a nice and new looking phone.So it will be worth the money.
Well I'm still looking for a good replacement. I've done plenty of reading and research but I'm not sure which way to go.
Has anyone done a digitizer swap? What was the end result? Were you happy or did it brick your phone?
Any opinions would be nice to hear.
Thanks.
put a super amoled display from the SGS in it
Hi, I cracked my digitiser VERY badly, so I was forced to replace the digitiser... The LED was slightly scratched because of the drop, but I don't mind, it's hardly noticable. I took the phone apart like 3 times:
1 - taking it apart
2 - power button i forgot to put back
3 - had a little of $h!t under the digitiser

I swapped my digitiser, and so did XDA Recognised Developer for the x10 pvyparts and none of our phones were bricked, it worked perfectly after... Took about 20min to do, I did it during school break because I was bored...
Goodluck!
Better you replace the phone, you don't know the quality that Chinese product
i have tried a couple of different touches an for me so far all of them has been a bit of a dissapointment, the touch works good but the fit is bad. Sensors, proximity particularly, gone bad. sry for really bad eng.
i got my digitizer from ebay china its was pretty good get it with the housing black or white much better then trying to sick the digitizer on the old housing paid around $30 au
i guess at the end of the day all these parts are made in china oem or not
So yesterday I was getting in my car and wearing sweat panths. My GNote slid out of my panths and I closed the door on the screen, the timing could not have been more perfect. Not that I would ever want to but I bet money that I couldn't reproduce such a perfectly timed event. The worst part about this was the Note had 7 Hours left on eBay , bidding ended at 585.00. I couldn't stop the auction bc it was less the 12hrs befor the end. I refunded and emailed the buyer and informed him of the situation, I hope he agrees to cancel the auction or else I'll be charged with the selling fee.
Condition of Note:
Shattered screen basically on the entire left side. The screen doesn't turn on but the captivate buttons work at the bottom. Small crack on frame of the screen.
So my questions is this: what is my best option in regards to getting rid of the GNote?
Should I sell it as is on eBay?
Contact Samsung and see if they can repair the device?
Find a local vendor?
I was going to buy one galaxy note just like yours. I contacted the Samsung repair people they told the will charger 70 just to take a look at the phone and then they will let you know how much it will cost me.The final amount they gave me to repair was 200 $. Good luck
I would compare the 2. Price for a broken note on ebay, and price for a fixed one (Minus the cost of repair). You can look at completed auctions to see the costs. Im sure someone would pay over 100 bux for the broken one.
Hi anyone know a place where i can get a replacement screen the at&t one
my gnote ate the floor and cracked on the bottom part of the screen still usable but i would like to replace it....... its a white one and i been finding prices around 200-300 for the replacement if anyone could help me up ill really be happy
On ebay they go for a little less than $300 for the outer glass, led screen, and digitizer. It is all one piece. You can send it into Samsung for them to fix, the cost for that is $197.
These guys can fix it for fairly cheap. They even have a pretty fast turn around. We use them where I work.
http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/samsung-sgh-i717-galaxy-note-parts/
Do you contact these guys to get them to quote you a price first? seems like they do a free diagnostic but would be nice to know what it will COST before i send it to them.
Also, not sure if any of those parts they sell is just the glass....the only one that seems to contain the glass is a whole bezel and like $200+
Hello,
Sorry if this may be the wrong section but I'm just enquiring about screen replacement.
My other half decided it would be a good idea to smash the screen (both outer and LCD) on her S3. EBay are selling replacements for about 150 GBP however fonefix will replace it for us for 120 GBP.
If that's the case are there any cheaper places to purchase the parts I need and do it myself? I'd much rather save myself some money if I can.
Thanks for reading
