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.

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:
I have a cracked and scuffed touchscreen on my x10 and for $30 on ebay I was going to replace the screen. My concern is that I can get ones from China for half the price of the USA and some say 'Grade A no bubbles' but others do not, are these quality screens from China or will I be diasspointed?
Has anyone had a bad experience replacing their touch screen with the Chinese products? They say OEM but are they from Sony or are they knock offs and is there build quality concerns using the cheap ones?
in my opinoin when it comes to electronics , especially from china, you get what you pay for, id rather pay a little extra knowing that it will be ok
Agreed. With china there's a 99% chance that what you are buying is not OEM. Likely it's very cheaply made.
Yeah I hear ya... that is probably exactly what I would had replied to this post if someone else asked the same question.
I was really hoping someone would tell me that they bought a screen from XXXXX on ebay and it was better then the original but I guess I need to decide if I want cheap or quality.
I've already replaced the phone with an HTC EVO 3D but there is alot of life left in this X10 and it is a great platform for hacking and learning android. Plus they make awesome tiny tablets for around the house.
Thanks for the input.
I got white replacement from china which is quite good.. I won't say its authentic, but here in the UK most replacement dealers get there stuff from china anyway.
Buying from China is like cutting out the middle-man, the down side is just you need to wait.. And if you think they are not what you think your money's worth, you could always tell them you did not receive the item and get your refund.
try to buy from best sellers only...otherwise nothing is guaranteed.

Hello guys, I operate from China is not good, shipping times are very long, why not order from Germany or thereabouts? I ordered this screen protector from Germany and arrived in 3 days, I am very well, without delays or other touch ... Regards, Joseph

Globalshining
Maybe i'm the lucky one, bought one from globalshining on ebay for 20 Euro and thought: well if this aint gonna work, it;s 20 euro's thrown away. But here in my town (germany) they ask 80 Euro for it. After 8 days!!! I received the piece: fitted perfectly but it was at least one hour work to get the overly scratched old one of and the new one on. I did search google for disassembling instructions for the X10 and found one with lots of photo's. Without these instructions, you easily brick your phone.
Regarding GlobalShing: its on ebay, or eshoptradehk dot com I first checked the ebay ratings: then decided to do so..
But do get your own screwdrivers cause the one from China dont fit at all....
Cheers
hey could someone help me with a link?
i just cracked the front screen on my fone and i need to replace it. would like to replace the whole screen and case.
i googled a few, but i was not sure if they included the front screen cos its the front screen thats cracked.
then i also learnt that the touch module is glued to the front glass screen, will the new case screen also have one attached to it or would i have to remove this one and stick it to the new one?

i just cracked mine too, I just ordered a new digitizer from ebay for $20. I think thats all we need to fix the cracked glass. Anyone know if this is right?
thats right.
Hey i found those---> http://stores.ebay.com/gadgetfix/Sony-Ericsson-/_i.html?_fsub=1408041015 and http://www.ebay.com/itm/Touch-Digit...-XPERIA-X10-BLACK-/170720772774#ht_4581wt_989 and the last one http://www.ebay.com/itm/SONY-ERICSS...-screen-digitizer-/320603153459#ht_2960wt_952 .Which one should i buy?I want to sell my X10i and buy an LG Optimus 3D so i think to make a little touch-ops.Can you give me an advise?I want to make from my old 1 year old xperia a nice and new looking phone.So it will be worth the money.
Well I'm still looking for a good replacement. I've done plenty of reading and research but I'm not sure which way to go.
Has anyone done a digitizer swap? What was the end result? Were you happy or did it brick your phone?
Any opinions would be nice to hear.
Thanks.
put a super amoled display from the SGS in it
Hi, I cracked my digitiser VERY badly, so I was forced to replace the digitiser... The LED was slightly scratched because of the drop, but I don't mind, it's hardly noticable. I took the phone apart like 3 times:
1 - taking it apart
2 - power button i forgot to put back
3 - had a little of $h!t under the digitiser

I swapped my digitiser, and so did XDA Recognised Developer for the x10 pvyparts and none of our phones were bricked, it worked perfectly after... Took about 20min to do, I did it during school break because I was bored...
Goodluck!
Better you replace the phone, you don't know the quality that Chinese product
i have tried a couple of different touches an for me so far all of them has been a bit of a dissapointment, the touch works good but the fit is bad. Sensors, proximity particularly, gone bad. sry for really bad eng.
i got my digitizer from ebay china its was pretty good get it with the housing black or white much better then trying to sick the digitizer on the old housing paid around $30 au
i guess at the end of the day all these parts are made in china oem or not
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.
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........

HI, I'm looking to order a new screen online and replace it myself.
I see lots at very reasonable cost on ebay and alliexpress. I'm just wondering if some of them are not original. In fact not all the suppliers even say that the product is OEM. They say things like 'if fits your G5 perfectly' which seems an odd think to say in any respect. I'm in west europe so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate. A supplier from UK rather than China would be great as I need it asap !

Well i live in the UK and have ordered a new screen off ebay twice, neither of them claiming to be OEM and they have worked perfectly. First one experienced screen burn after a while, just like my OEM screen. Second one i currently have is perfect no screen burn and personally I can't see a difference in screen quality compaired to OEM.
One thing you absolutely MUST do is buy a screen that includes a FRAME, do not i repeat do not buy the screen without the frame pre-glued to the back. I did this with my first screen and i had to rip the frame off the old screen and glue it onto the new one. Makes like 100x more complicated.

HI, thanks for that. I'm in Ireland and intend to buy from a UK seller as no one sells them on ebay Ireland. Would you mind to tell me the ebay shop you bought the good screen from without the screen burn, I'd greatly appreciate it!
And yes you are right , buying with the included frame makes perfect sense as I've noticed they don't cost much more than the digitizer alone and would make the process so much easier!
