Hello,
a collegue of mine bit(!) on his s2. He wanted to hold it with his mouth and probably bit a little too hard. Now the display is not turning on, despite the phone works as expected otherwise.
So, I'm looking for a cheap repair. As I didn't find any damages when opening the S2, my best guess is that I need to replace the whole LCD, or even better (since easier) to replace the whole front frame.
I live in Germany and didn't find any good offers for a new display yet. Can you give me a hint where tu buy one? I found one on ebay, $ 20 plus shipping which is slightly more than I expected.
Other repair suggestions are also welcome.
Thanks in advance.
That's very cheap. And probably doesn't work. Ebay is a big risk. Go to the shop and pay for the mistake. Sorry but this is my best advice. :thumbup:
+^ this is true........
Everywhere i've found in the UK wants between £60 and £80 for a replacement screen.......
The cost of the screen *is* beginning to drop......but not by that much........

Help!! Need a replacement screen for my BA anybody have a spare or know where to get a replacement screen for a reasonable price.Not sure how I broke it but there is a crack down the center of the screen and now it w'ont work.
I am really sorry for you. I cracked my iPAQ screen a while ago and found a replacement at ipaqrepair.co.uk....but I guess they are only for iPAQs
I know how you must feel
Thanks will check it out anyway and yes totally gutted I use the BA for everything like having my right arm cut off ,
Have noticed that it is only the glass that is cracked it is not bleeding at all and i think that the digitizer is only mlfunctioning because of the crack is it possible just to replace the glass panel and not the lcd display?
Try calling HTC Europe at 08712-23-0217. Leave a message and they will call you back in a day time. Just tell them your problem and see how much would they charge for it. I've got my under warranty HTC Charmer to them TWICE for some speaker/motherboard problem, and so far so good. Their service is better than I expect from a Taiwan company.

Yes it is, there are 2 distinct types of digitiser though, the sony and the toppolly one. There is another poster selling just a digitiser, I went into more detail in that thread. HTCEurope a: won't repair and XDA IIs and b: won't swop just the digitiser, they swop the entire LCM assembly.

Just been quoted £125 to repair the screen by a company called Apex, trouble is the phone only cost me £150 in my book thats beyond econmical repair if it was a car it would be a write off.I think it will have to be an insurance job (get a free one with bank account) unless someone comes up with a reasonable price on a used one.

The sony one he has can be 'widenend' to fit any LCD so it doesn't matter what's in your phone - just remove the warranty seal completley - the odds are they won't repair your handset they'd just replace anyway if you claim on insurance as they would have to use new parts - no trawling ebay for them to fix your phone....
Richard
Well guys sent my BA off to the insurance company and had a phone call today said they could not repair or replace it, and then THEY DESTROYED MY PHONE and then they said they can give me a cash settlement or the choice of Nokia n91 or the n90 what do you guys think, what should I go for? and more to the point how much would the cash settlement be as you can no longer get the blue angel anymore new that is.
Anybody been in this situation would not mind the n91 but it is not satnav capable at the moment and I need this capability.
Check the prices on somewhere like expansys, get the more expensive, flog it on ebay, buy a 2nd hand blueangel.
I sold a boxed MDA III for just £100 on there the other week :-(
PM me and I might be able to help if you need it sourcing one.
Can't fix it my @$$.....muppets.
They should not have destroyed your phone and infomed you after the event IMO.
EDIT - IIRC expansys do still have the [email protected] £600. Ask them for a cheque!!!!!... :twisted:
Richard
Yes was surprised they did not ask me first but oh well still have the mini s just like having the bigger screen for sat nav loooking t expansys think your right I'll go for the money.
Update insurance have coughed up £450 not bad considering I only got it for £150 :lol: :lol:
Hey guys
I dropped my phone today and cracked the screen a lil' bit.
Do you think it's worth replacing it or should I go for another phone? Also, can you tell me approximately how much would replacing it cost?
Thanks!
you'd better check the price on ebay ..! He also served overseas shipping I hope you get a cheaper !!!!
i think it is 20-25euros just for the screen...
I replaced the screen on my fiance's Rose without too much difficulty. It was a bit of a pain in the but doing a complete disassembly of the device, and the replacement screen was a good bit darker than the original, even with the brightness cranked up. It was worth it though as her's was busted up pretty bad. It was on Ebay for maybe $40 USD.
Jason
Yep, found the screen on ebay for 30$.
Contacted HTC Germany. They told me it would cost between 125 and 250 EUR, depending on the damage of the screen. Also sent them a pic of the screen, in order to get more precise info about the cost. When I have the exact figures, I'll post them here.
wtf...for 250euro you can buy a new rose...i suggest you fit it yourself..
Any idea on how much would it cost to replace my screen? I don't have anything to prove warranty so that means I'll have to pay for it. If someone wants to know why I want to replace my screen it is because it has suffered (humidity?) damage. About 2*2cm area has changed its color to grey/red.

You are looking at a price £100 ($130) or above
Sgs1 replacement displays cost around 150$. So I'm guessing it might be around 170$

in italy touch for sgs1 200 € in date 15/07/2011 in samsung center
Watch some videos on youtube first, before you order a screen.
Theres a difference between just the screen or the whole front housing.
If you only get a replacement screen(ebay, 100-150€), you may need a heatgun.
I dont think its very easy to replace the screen on your own, though i never did it.
Its much easier to get the whole front housing(not shure, but maybe 150-200€), where the screen is already glued into. Although its more expensive, it might be worth the price.
Hi,
If you want to do it yourself, I would recomend buying the whole front, concidering the price difference, safe yourself the hassle and replace it all, its just some screws!
Good luck
In Indonesia Samsung Center I changed it for around 90USD..
in indonesia Rp.1.100.000 or its +- $130
click thanks button if i help you
I thought the glass front is just stuck down with strong double sided tape.
Seen a video somewhere where it can be prised off, which could get access to dry it out. May need some new tape to stick it back down though.
by the way an idea how much the mother board ?
Hello,
Yesterday I have applied too much pressure to my dear Blade, so I got several cracks going through my screen. I am really not into fixing this kind of problem myself, so I'm thinking about other options. I can give it repair shop, but it will take ages as they would have to order the parts and would certainly order new screen, not just glass, resulting in an enormous price that would most likely be bigger than the one I bought this phone. Does anyone know any ways of filling the cracks? It might be important that those cracks doesnt seem to reach the bottom of the glass. I have found many suggestions of bringing the phone to mechanics who fix the cracks on the windshields. Would that be a good idea?
I would been orderd full replacement on dealextream or amazon or any other site.
would take 1-2 weeks to get the replacement, and just watch a video how to replace it
AND ITS CHEAP!!!!

Thank you very much, but are you sure it comes with a glass for screen included?
I really don't know, ill watch some others when i get home from my job!
Thank you for your help! And what do you think about bringing it to the car windshield repair service, totally bad idea?

Sounds like a bad idea. I think the part he linked doesn't include any glass, but there are replacement parts with the glass cheap on ebay & dealextreme.
However ...many people I asked said dealextreme can't be trusted

Many other people buy off them successfully & are happy. They're a big popular website for cheap stuff from China. Some Cheap stuff from China is low quality. Some is fake. Sometimes it might get lost. Often you get a good deal, but there's a risk involved, buyer beware.
Our phones are cheap Chinese phones, made in China for a Chinese company, more have been sold in China than the rest of the world combined. I think about 6 million sold in China. A website that specialises in cheap stuff from China is the ideal place to find replacement parts for our phones.
You could also find the same things on eBay, if you trust it more.
Hey guys, my wife had a little accident with her phone and now the screen is in need of a replacement. I made a couple of calls and I'm getting crazy quotes to replace it. Does anyone in the USA have a recommendation where I can get this cheaper than replacing the phone? Thanks in advance
1. dont buy cheap replacement screens... buy original Nokia... many people had problems after use cheap Chinese screens replacements... look on Amazon for original Nokia screens
2. also amateur and bad job can cause problems. take phone and screen to official Nokia service...
sometimes cheaper is much more expensive in the end
Thanks for that dxdy. Unfortunately, Nokia will charge more for it than it will cost for a factory refurbished phone so that's not going to work.
