You won't know how to replace it your self, plus - the razr is one of the hardest phones when it comes to a full dismantle if you've cracked the LCD. I would say, send it to motorola

One of the hardest? It's actually really easy but you lose the water proof. The screen and digitizer is one piece making it a very easy replacement.
Try replacing a digitizer only on a nexus one or hd2 compared to them the razr is child's play

I would like to keep it water proof....can I purchase both pieces in tact?

If you want to keep it water proof and make sure it has gorilla glass send it to Motorola. If you try fixing it yourself, and something else gets broken, you've voided your warranty.
I sent a RAZR MAXX to Motorola to have a broken screen replaced. They "misplaced" the phone and couldn't find it. So they waived the repair cost. ($179) I did finally get my phone back, fixed. 11 days after they received it, good as new warranty intact.
Compared to a any other 4.3 device..i would say this is the hardest
Just wanna say the phone is not water proof its water resistant at best.

ive never seen just a replacement lens. if verizon refuses to replace it, then try contacting HTC and see if they have a way of providing that part.
a cracked lens isnt a defect so any damage to it will be deemed 'your fault.' so verizon probably wont give you a new one :\ and if you dont have insurance then thats bad news. sorry dude
another option could be to take it to one of those ripoff-artist kiosks at the mall that replace cracked phone screens. their suppliers might have access to your part.
Thanks gohamstergo I have a call into a friend who works at a Verizon service center ( 300 miles away) to see if he can get me one from a damaged phone and also an xda member is checking his parts bin to see if something he has will work. Your pic proves don't judge a book by its cover.

That will get you a $350 charge on your bill. New policy. And personally, I totally agree with it. If you send in a physically damaged phone the techs at the warehouse will take pictures as proof and send you a receipt for your new 'equipment charge'

No lectures, please. My wife is on top of that.
I dropped my phone and it must have hit just right. Screen is cracked. It's fully functional, for now, but I can tell it's about to start deteriorating soon.
What do I search for? Digitizer? If so, that sucks, those are extremely expensive.
Help?
Someone just posted this the other day about how his screen cracked real easy.

Why u no have insurance? but the DROID RAZR screen is one piece so its expensive. 230$ Here's a link to a site that has replacement parts for the RAZR. http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/motorola-droid-razr-parts-xt910-xt912/
If it works for now I'd hold off. You could also look for a bricked RAZR or maxx for sale with a fine screen that might be a little cheaper.

Do you think a water damaged, no signs of life phone from Ebay would work? Would the digitizer take a crap because of water?

I cracked my screen too the other day when my razr fell out of my shirt pocket while I was picking my son up. It fell flat on it's face in the dirt and hit a small stone that broke the screen. LCD is still working but the cracks (star shaped) and glass edges are annoying so I need to find a solution.

The only thing I can think of is like I said before find a non working razr with a good screen. Or like I posted the link for the replacement screen but that's really expensive. Insurance sure does come in handy most insurance charges a 100$ deductible for the razr or at least Verizon does. Best buy has great insurance they replaced my DROID x free of charge. Also If anyone knows if the screen on a water damaged phone would work I'd like to know that too.

My wife and I both have razrs and today hers ended up dropping into the toilet after she have finished. She pulled it out and proceeded to wash it off in the sink. Of course she would since she had just taken a leak. So once she notices that it's still working she decides to tell me about it. I took it out of its holster and got more water out then removed the same and sim and blew out even more water. After making sure I had gotten all the water out that I could without splitting the case I put it all back together and all seems well. I guess they really are water resistant.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Water resistant = Being splashed with water / can withstand being in the rain for a while
Being fully submerged in the toilet and then WASHED under a running tap is not what a phone is designed phone.
It's advertised as water resistant, not water proof.
It's not waterproof, but lucky.
Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk 2
Extremely lucky. We have the extended warranty but it's $100 deductible if I recall. And toilet drops are covered.
Still nice to know that they are very good at being water resistant.
And hey, my wife leaks but the phone doesn't.

Your phone will work for approximately 2-3 months and then possibly will stop working due to corrosion. Swap up the phone if you can asap.

She did it again with the replacement RAZR. And rinsed it off again. Don't think this one will pull through.

You do not want to attempt this without an LCD. The digitizer and LCD are fused. Skytrade on Alibaba sells both separately for about $150 total at the time of this post.
If you have only had it for a week and a half can't it be returned or replaced by Verizon? If you bought it there.

he would only be able to return it to verizon if:
1. there was nothing wrong with it and he just changed his mind(within 14 days)
2. it was defective in some way out-of-the-box.
since there's damage to the phone, he wouldn't be able to take it back. it could only be replaced "damaged" through insurance.
Anyone tried this yet? My wife's DNA just broke as well and so far the cheapest place taking them in and repairing it would be $300... anything around 100- 150 and I would be intrigued to do it myself... apparently she is not happy with my old Droid X....go figure ...
Just do insurance replacement for $99. You get brand spanking new phone with 2.04 if lucky maybe 1.15

I actually have a DNA taken apart at home right now and I'm waiting for a screen to come in. There are some companies on eBay that sell them from 130-200. Most of them ship from China so they will take a couple of weeks to get here, but its a lot cheaper then having HTC or Verizon do it. The instructions to take it apart on YouTube are where you'll want to start, and of you need the screen within a reasonable amount of time, then injured gadgets on eBay ships from the USA, but they are like 40 bucks more than the cheapest display. Just search "droid DNA assembly" on eBay and get whichever one you want.

Well I paid 134 for my screen, and haven't even used the phone yet. I got the parts from my step dad because his coworker dropped it and shattered the glass and LCD.

Just had mine fixed last week. Screen/LCD/labor was $265 with 99 day warranty. First time the screen touched the LCD and the bottom lights didn't work. Took it back the next day and they fixed it. Bottom lights still aren't right, but the screen touch was fixed. When I took it in originally, they told me they wouldn't do just the digitizer. They had tried before and couldn't get it to sit/seal correctly. Good luck with your replacement screen, and let it's know how it turns out.

I came from the GNEX to. The DNA stock or modified is worlds beyond the Gnex. You are going to love it!
I work for a wirelesszone and you can buy a insurance for a phone at any time 99.99 for the 2 years and 75.00 deductible so for a DNA replacement it would cost only 175 shipped with asurion you can only get it within the first 30 days

Yes, I have found the video on how to take it apart, even so the video I watched did not take the screen out. It seems in my case only the glass in the front of the phone is broken (since all functions on the phone still work and the LCD display looks okay) I have heard the the LCD and the digitizer are somehow heat fused together. Therefore the LCD with digitizer should be the way to go. But I have not pulled the trigger on the e-bay purchase. I'm very interested on how this goes for you.
By the way I can't get an insurance claim or phone the cheapest refurbished Verizon 4G phone would be $350 and they wouldn't even have the DNA as refurbished yet.
So my DNA was sitting on the bedside table last night and my girls cat pulled the charger cable and knocked it off of the table. When it fell it hit the leg of the table on the top left-hand corner and shattered the screen. I am having digitezer issues now and it is very annoying. Does anyone know where I can get the screen replaced? If that's even possible.
Thanks for any help.

It doesn't appear too bad to do. I'd suggest getting a "frame" and the adhesive as well. Separating them seems to be the hardest step.
Also get a tool kit.
