Hey guys, I accidentally dropped my SGA and the screen cracked. It's not THAT bad, but since it has Gorilla Glass I want to know if it's repairable or what. Tomorrow, I'm going over my carrier's attention center to see if there's anything they can do about it. Any thoughts?
They can replace it. Oddly gorilla glass is really scratch resistant but super brittle.

Aw man, are you serious? I thought it was unbreakable or something. And here I was going to make some tests on mine. Lmao thanks for the heads up xD
Ha ha. I hope they do fix it. 'Cause if not, I'm gonna buy a new smartphone. It wouldn't be the SGA, it had to be better. Anyway, back to topic, it seems like Gorilla Glass is TEH BRITTLE when it comes to falls. Just visit the Dell Streak forums, lol.

I've just replaced that on mine, took about 30 mins and cost me £11
I also found this place:
http://www.tvc-mall.com/user/product.asp?skey=samsung+galaxy+ace&type=all&btn_search=
With a lot of items for the SGA, included the digitizer. So it's only the digitizer I will need?
I ordered digitiser, housing and screen (as mine had been run over by a car!!!) only the digitiser and housing needed replacing (only cos the camera lens had been scratched) screen was 100% perfect once I took the digitiser off. Have replied to your message, good luck

My girlfriend scratched hers EASILY! She put it in her pocket and took her ring off and put it in the smae and got a scratch down the screen
Supposedly, he used this guide:

Anyone can confirm that is safe before I even try to do it?

This has been bought up before. Its not gorrila glass. Its a miss print on the site. They said they would change it but plainly they haven't.

I have a SK17i that unfortunately has several big cracks in the touch screen following being dropped.
I know how to dismantle the x10 mini pro but not sure with the sk17i, with the x10 you pop the complete screen up with a plastic tool on the left hand side of the screen then it slips off the clips that hold it on the right hand side.
Anyone know if the sk17i is basically the same method or is their a different technique for this screen?

That's not easy, because the screen and the digitizer are stuck to the case, just search on ifixit.
It's not easy to do, and I don't know how, but replacing with a new screen is 150€
Just look here!
Service center ??

Service Center is 150€ and if I buy on amazon pay same price for a new sk17i
Thanks for the link.
Replacement screen + lcd are only £25 in UK which is 32€.

I meant official by sony parnter, in germany they told me 150€ to repair touchscreen. Not a 3rd party company
Search in eBay

i have the same problem...but no place to fix it at least u can.
Hey everyone,
today i dropped my xperia P and the screen cracked :/
The touch and everything works perfect, there are no color or any other issues just the screen is cracked....
I've called much repair shops here in my Country but most of them want to much money and tell me that the screen goes with the touch together, so it needs all to be replaced :/
I want to ask if that is true, is it glued together or can it be replaced individually like in xperua U ?
Also i saw on ebay that the lcd screen with touch and everything costs just about 70$, would it be a good idea to buy it from ebay and then replace it by myself ?
Thanks everyone in advance....
Hi Arnes_king !

Fell on floor.. got a big crack...
Can someone confirm what has happened..
I mean everything is working fine.. just there is crack on screen so perhaps only the glass above screen has cracked...
Can someone suggest what to do...
And someone from India what will the glass cost ???

Hi Pal!
The S2 glass will come with digitizer so you cant get the replacement glass alone. you have to get new Display which will come with glass. sorry pal...
here is the ebay link
and there is another option but i don't guarantee this DX.COM
once you got the replacement LCD follow this link for replacement

hi, i can share your pain because the same thing happened to me few weeks back! but sadly they jus dont replace the glass alone as pointed out by #ssnalugu. I got it repaired at a private samsung servicing store, it costed me around rs 9,500, he replaced the whole lcd panel, everything fine now
A Samsung service centre told me it will cost 6500rs
I am thinking to use it as it is for few weeks then buy a new phone...

Hi!I'm from Romania too.Unfortanely,here in Cluj I don't know any repair centres.Two months ago,my loudspeaker stopped working,and I got a new one from eBay.I changed it myself.It is original,and it's working well.The price was good too,8$(~25 lei).So I recommend you to grab a new screen from eBay.
