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.

Like the title says I cracked the screen on my g2 and I want to know if I can just replace the digitizer or do I have to buy both the LCD and digitizer. Also is Samsung good at repairs and will they just repair it or give me a new phone?

Also here is the link to one eBay seller that has the glass only
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=180938952152&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=32632668272 but if your looking for the LCD http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=110930367121&index=1&nav=SEARCH&nid=05935093267 well it cost more for the 2 of them check out the links

Super glue. **** fixes everything!
OK good I was just making sure I could replace just the glass because so many other places say you have to do both the lcd and digitizer and Samsung charges 149 for that repair.

Is it nearly impossible to change just the glass because the digitizer and LCD and glued shut together. If you attempt to change the class, you will easily damage the LCD. I would try to find a broken phone on craiglist or eBay and use it for parts.
Good Luck!

I tried to replace just the top glass on an Infuse.......didn't work but changing the LCD/digitizer assembly was easy.
in a similar fix...
looking to find a used phone for parts (LCD) for the Galaxy S2 i777
just curious if these:
- i727 LCD (Skyrocket)
- i9100 LCD (Euro model i think)
would be compatible so i could broaden my search.
apologize in advance if the question is dumb
So I've had my dna for a week and a half when my screen shattered. Ironically enough the screen protectors I ordered came in 5 minutes later. I've been scavenging the Web but can't find any replacement screens. Does anyone know if they plan to sell them in the future or is there no hope? Also if anyone has/hears of a broken dna with functional screen I'd love to arrange a deal

Were you able to locate a screen repair kit? Mine just broke also.
I am also curious about this I have a spare DNA with a broken screen...
Check eBay guys, they're readily available on there.

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.

What's your reason for paying more and waiting couple weeks for the screen? Is it cause u have root??
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
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. He said if I could fix it, its mine, and now I just have to wait for the screen. I'm using my galaxy nexus right now and I love the phone, so I'm alright with waiting for the screen.

That's understandable! Good luck with the repair.

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.

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.
Bought one of these phones and very happy with it. In every model I like to have a spare housing because I hate marks on phone (when I have them i like to replace housing). Already managed to buy the frame on ebay but I don't find battery cover anywhere . Any of you know where I can buy them? Many thanks
