No insurance...game over dude. warranty does not cover stuff like that. You can try and sell it, or pay for the repair yourself.

Whatever! I called T-mo, if I had bought insurance, still would have cost me 130$ to get them to fix it. I called samsung and was quoted 161.25 to replace at factory shop in TX w/ 7 day turnaround.
But DIY is the route I'm going. Just found screen in stock at global direct parts 78.11$ each. only downside is min qty order = 2. http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-T959-LCD-Digitizer-p/smsng6085995.htm
HEY OP, wanna split the order w/ me? I'll order today and send as soon as it comes in. PM me quick!!!!
EDIT: Looks like odds are should order the cable too that normally gets broken during removal of old screen

http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-T959-Motherboard-Flex-Cable-p/smsng6085890.htm 16.48 ea right now but again min qty = 2.
I saw that site.
But what would I need???
Someone told me I cracked the digitizer.
And I see a bunch of.different screens. Lcd this, and amoled that.
Some 75, some 500?????
Wtf is this mess.

if it's a defect that isn't a direct result of damage or negligence, try getting a warranty replacement before you shell out the cash.

Yup. Verizon is pretty good about replacing devices that fail in any way as long as it isn't physically/neglectfully damaged.

I had the same issue with both the power button and the volume with my TB and I called 611 and told them.
I have TEC and they over night a replacement. I unrooted when I got the replacement and sent my broken one back. Just call them. They will replace it.
if that is your issue, call Verizon... I work for Asurion and they will charge you $89! If you call Verizon Tech Support they should be able to overnight you a replacement free of cost!
Yeah I called 611 and told them. The guy said he would send a replacement, except when I return mine there can't be any damage or I will have to pay 100..I told him I had a little chip on the bottom lip of the phone and he said i would most likely be charged.... that is ridiculous. Because I dropped this phone when I first got it I have to pay 100 because of a hardware malfunction...smh

I had a humongous scratch across my screen, but it was still replaced by VZW for free.
I just bought a "Like New Mint" condition atrix off ebay. The seller is a power seller with a 99.6% rating.
I opened the box and had it unlocked and aura 1.1.3 installed before it even finished its first boot.
After fooling with it for a bit, I came to realize there is a dead row of pixels on the screen a half inch thick spanning across the top of the screen....
I already sent an email to the seller and awaiting a reply...
Justvwanted to know if anyone knows another way I can fix this. Could I copy the pds from my other atrix?
Man this blows, since I just ordered an unlock code for that imei as well.
I'm too on the ball and gotta slow down I think lol
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

You didn't just sell it on ebay did you?
Solid...Does the touchscreen work in that area or were you unable to boot. If you can't get your cash back, my guess is it took a fall or it passed through an xray machine maybe. New digitizer wouldbe my first thought. Is it there when you fast boot?
Just had the same problem with mine; looks like it's the digitizer.
I flashed back to Bell 2.2.2 (bl and all), restored PDS backup, factory reset, etc and no fix. Sent it back to moto for repair and they told me it was due to water damage (which I think is BS; as I've never had it any where near water.. even made sure to take it out of my pockets before taking a shower to avoid steam).
Got my Atrix around March 20th, so it would have been one of the first run and my buddy who works at a Bell store said he'd seen a couple come back already.
Luckily I had the insurance, so I gave it some real water damage and had it replaced...

Woah......
Anyone happen to know where I can source one of these? Aside from buying a bricked phone and swapping them... I can't seem to find any online, and yes I've tried searching. My i777 took a 4 foot drop and landed screen side down on tile floor (and I use the Neo Hybrid case)... glass didn't break but LCD panel doesn't illuminate/show anything and it seems the assembly is 'all in one' and I can't get the LCD panel separately.

well, you can find most parts at globaldirectparts.com but to my knowledge it's out of stock
I think you should try to contact them and see if they can back order any
EDIT: since it's still 1 year you can send it to Samsung to replace it. same price or less and better servicing

Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna give them a call tomorrow. I had sensitive information stored on the internal memory, but I was able to blindly tap through and mount the phone on my pc and grab it off - so I'm going to take the lazy approach and see if they'll fix it. It's an easy fix, but if they'll fix it for cheaper then I may as well send it to them.
Perfect. Been needing a screen for months.
Hi so the other day I dropped my phone cracked the screen. So I've been calling a few places that do screen repair most places don't have the amaze parts in stock. One place that said they did have the parts told me it would be 180 dollars for parts and labor... Does that sound responsible? Or ridiculous ? I don't have insurance on this phone I've reached the limit.

That's probably the cheapest you'll find, I got prices ranging from 100-300 to change blackberry screen which is way more simple to change, I just did it myself, but it's a risky thing to do, so it's upto you if you wanna spend the amount or take the risk to do it yourself.

Hi
Hell! I've just did the exchange on that. I wouldn't pay that.
There's still some options. I recently smashed the digitizer on my sensation. I just bought the replacement part off ebay for about the 30 usd and do it myself.
There is nothing to these phones when you pop them open and alot of htc official disassembly videos are on youtube.
Even if you don't feel you could do it youself. I would get the part from ebay and take it Local.

Check around a bit more, don't just give in yet, always good to check for more options, might find it cheaper if you're lucky.
What about finding a used Amaze off Craigslist. I have saw a few for 225 give or take, then get the part for tour Amaze and learn off it in trying to repair it yourself and sell one. May make a profit off it.

Verizon has started open enrollment for warranty coverage again. So $10 bucks sounds like a great deal for a new phone and stick the old in a box.
Good luck!

Are they offering open enrollement for phones not purchased at BestBuy?
Verizon is and $110 would be the cheapest way to get a new phone replacement.
I bought my Note 2 on ebay last year for $200 and cracked my screen with no warrenty.. called Verizon they have open enrollement right now. Only question I was asked was whats wrong with the phone?"screens cracked" New one in the mail next day..cancel the insurance afterwards if you think it's a rip there's no contract on insurance.
I've never dealt with BestBuy so maybe they can fix it right now cheaper then $110

This. I bought the full assembly (AMOLED+Digitizer+Metal Frame) from this guy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191076189569
And followed this tutorial (there were some small differences since he used a Global N2):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-2zrZ_aNo
With some patience and a mini-screwdriver I was able to bring a Note II to like new condition. If you get the full assembly with the frame you should be able to restore the phone to near factory state. I definitely wouldn't try replacing just the glass, or even glass+digitizer without the frame, there's too much risk and you're never going to be able to get the adhesive just right.
@funnyperson1 I thought you had a cheap fix for people with cracked screens it's the same price to have a professional do it lol
Heck... I seen a sweet looking mint VZW SCH-1605 - stuck in a simple bootloop on ebay sell for $150 today free shipping
Sadly there is no cheap way on the note 2. I mean if you wanna risk doing just the glass and curing loca glue then yea.

roflcopterssoisoi is right, there isn't really a good cheap alternative for the Note 2.
You can replace just the glass and reglue yourself for $30, but it's risky and probably won't come out right (at least I know it won't if I do it).
You can get a professional to replace just the glass for around $125 (that's what MobileTechVideos charges)
For around $80-123 you can replace the lcd, digitizer, and glass but that still requires melting adhesive, prying,and hoping you don't mess up.
For between $120-150 you can get lcd, digitizer, and frame and replace the components yourself. This is what I did and it was pretty easy, hard to mess up.
For $200+ you can have Samsung, MobileTech or someone else replace the screen for you.
For me the decision was easy because the digitizer and amoled were completely dead, otherwise the MobileTechVideo repair for $125 is appealing. Still, for a couple bucks extra and an hour of my time I like the idea of having a like new, non-damaged assembly.
Yes almost all the options are expensive, but a working Note 2 goes for $300+ on Swappa and eBay. If you repair it and resell it, you'll probably get your money back. You could probably repair it, use it until the Note4 is released and still get your repair money back.
If you had another phone to use you could even sell the parts for a cracked Note2 for more than $200 total. The motherboard is going for $150-180 on eBay, selling the cracked screen and other parts may add up to $100+. You could certainly get enough to buy the bootloop N2 and fix it via Odin.
