How much? Will it have a bad ESN? I want to get one so I can actually test Carbon on it. Someone donated one to me but it was already locked. So maybe I can swap screens and enjoy carbon on it

New boards cost about that if not more any how.. I would keep it handy (the board) there are A LOT of people on here that locked themselves out..and could use a 4.1.2 board :thumbup:

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!

Don't let them fool you lol $10 a month then $99 deductible..not worth it to me..I think the best repair/warranty service offered is by BestBuy.. No deductible..I forget how much a month.. But no ?'s asked when needing a replacement

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

No they wouldn't fix it now that it is broken..but I do believe they offer insurance on phones..but a: they either have to purchased there or b: you take it in and they (geek squad) exams the condition of the phone and then decides from there

I have a question regarding open enrollment for Verizon insurance.. I cracked my screen on 2 separate note 2's and apparently asurion dropped me months ago. Now I came across this thread and was curious as to if the open enrollment is indeed factual. Any idea? Thanks a lot

@tennisjunkie I used this open enrollment insurance about 1 month ago.. He said it was ending in March or April. Call ASAP and I'm curious to know when it ends myself.
Good luck

---

Just called Verizon warranty and they said it ended on March 17th. He said they will have it again in the future, he wasn't sure when. Good luck maybe try mobiletechvideos.com to fix it.

---

Thank you for checking. That is a bummer. I tried fixing one and it was a disaster. Any other options or insurance?? Or am I soL?

Mobiletech does great work. Honestly you can get led combos off of eBay for like 130 and it's super easy to change yourself.

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.
