Hey guys I've recently cracked my screen and the touch doesn't work any more so I need anew screen! Unfortunately I didn't purchase insurance when I bought the phone. I asked my operator how much they charge for a replacement and they quoted me £240 which I can't afford right now, I noticed there's a lot of cheaper options on ebay but I feel they probably wont be the orignal screen even though many state they are, one thing I've noticed is most don't state they are ips, is this why they are so much cheaper, if I order off of ebay will I be getting an inferior screen?
Bump, anyone?

look here
Never buy only the glas. You won't have the tools to seperate the glas from the LCD. (This works on Samsung devices with a hairdryer and a sucker, but not on sonys sh*tty sh*tty displays )
I dropped my Z2 2 weeks after i bought it, from about 30cm and had a little crack on the lower half of the display and touch wasn't working anymore.
Repair costed me 200 €
I also have a Samsung Galaxy S3. There is missing an around 5 cm big peace of the glas and the touch is still working... even at the position, where the LCD is directly touched, its wokring! -.- poor Sony.

Thanks for the info, I wont try be trying to remove the glass myself I have a repair shop near me that can do that, I'm more worried about getting the proper screen as I was quoted £240 to get a repair by my carrier, but I've seen screens for a lot less on ebay but was wondering if the screens were just inferior knock offs or whether my carrier was simply charging so much just to keep me inside my warranty

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 $30 au
i guess at the end of the day all these parts are made in china oem or not
hey guys.
My friend dropped his galaxy s2 and the screen panel broke behind the lcd , the glass hasnt even got a scratch on it.
I want to buy it he will sell it to me for about 200 bucks .ú
Just want to ask the question does it worth it ? or look for else.
I'd like to uprgrade to s2
i don kno ur money conversion ,but only back cover broken is a small issue,check if the phone is good an works well wiv out any damage(physical,software)watch for screen color is it true or has tints,burns well if u don kno much better show the phone to some one whos got brains on sgs2,thts the best thing ,ull come to kno if anything wrong an then its up to u......cheeeerz
an ---wats the topic broken amoled ,wen ur screen has not gone?????
As he mentioned the actual glass part of the screen isn't broken its the thin film behind it. Sadly the replacement is a full screen, glass, digitiser etc etc. Ebay it and weigh it up if 200$ plus the cost of the screen replacement is worth it. I myself would rather invest the my money into a new s3 or something.
See how much a replacement costs plus labor.
For instance you can buy immaculate condition s2 boxed for 400$ where I live.
the screen is blank if you turn it on but you but the phone is working
i guess it will be a sad end of a great phone ... : /
As the title says would love to get a confirmed oem or close to one at least, any links would be helpful!
My device is a d855.
TIA
Did you check on eBay?
looking for the same. all i can find on ebay seem to be generic ones. about a year ago i did buy one from ebay, lasted about two months and then it stopped working. since then the phone has been in a drawer just sitting there. i would love to fix it and get it back working. really loved this phone.

I managed to break my g3 screen and need replacement.
Have you receive it? I want buy from mobilepartskoria but I just worry about UK import duty.
Yes, I received it in Paris a few days ago.
Two weeks from Korea to France.
No import duty.
It works fine, very clean (grade A++ as mentionned) et all small parts were included and work fine.
Do not buy parts from FixEz.com they sell substandard parts and claim OEM Dont even have gorilla glass on there screens
Try www.aliexpress.com
I was taking video in snowy day, and now my screen doesn't turn on. It rarely turns on and everything(+touch) works fine for a couple seconds, then it turns black.
What part do I need to buy? Do I need a screen digitizer?
I think there are some on ebay priced $10-15 which I think they're glass. Does it worth to buy it?
A good condition G3 itself costs about $100, so I don't think it worth to pay $37 for a good grade A screen.
Can I separate digitizer and LCD ? Edit: I just realized that the touch works, no matter the screen is black or not (when phone is unlocked). Because I connected it to my laptop using Vysor, and I can see the screen without problem on my windows.
I found these 3 items, which one do I need? Since my frame and touch doesn't have problem, just the screen is black or off.

I searched on YouTube and fixed it with a piece of paper.
Hello everyone,
I have cracked the v30 screen after a 1.5 meters fall on the sidewalk, had a case and all.
Looking online I have found screen glass only (without the oled display and digitizer) for about 5$ and a full screen with digitizer for about 150$.
Could not find any replacement guide for glass only, is it even possible?
I also have checked with a few labs regarding replacement work and as I understand the phone will not be water resistant after the replacement,
LG labs included (at least in my country).
If I decide to do it on my own, does anyone have info on how to restore water resistant after a screen replacement.
Happy to finally join the community,
Thank you

One of the tear down videos on YouTube says water resistance should be almost like factory if done right.

What screen protector were you using? Any decent protector would not only protect from direct impacts, but buffer from stresses. (Please don't tell us, with all the discussion of them, that you got a case and not a screen protector!)
Larger cities, such as NYC, tend to have cell phone repair places. They probably don't stock the LG screens - Samsung and Apple mostly - but you could probably make an appointment and have them do it.
I'm going to guess that replacing just the glass isn't a viable option. Just like the samsung edge devices t2je curved screen will prove to be very difficult to deal with.
Replacing the whole screen looks extremely easy from a video I watched a whilw back. Nearly anyone can do it.
I can't find any guides for replacing a cracked screen either.
My phone screen still works fine but just doesn't look great with all the cracks I have in it now after an unfortunate drop.
From watching tear down videos, it seems impossible to replace just the glass and so the parts needed to fix it are about $200... and even if I bought them, I wouldn't know how to do it myself.
LG won't even give me a price estimate or time estimate if I send it to them to fix. They charge $20 just to diagnose it after you send it to them before they'll give you any price to fix or time to fix estimates.
I'll probably just sell this phone as is and get what little I can out of it and move on to a newer phone like the Galaxy S9+.
I've decided it is cheaper to have LG fix a cracked screen. The cost is $146 (you pay the shipping to them, they cover the cost of shipping the phone back to you).
The only downside is the time it takes (up to 2 weeks)... but it's cheaper than all the kits I've found to do it yourself plus you know it'll be done right and your phone will still be under warranty.
Glass only repair is a very tough work, especially for LG V30 with curved screen, you could possibly ruin the whole screen. I think it's better to change a whole new display, there's a screen completely repair tutorial on Youtube, made by Wit Rigs, you could take that as a reference.
Hey there, I hope this is the right place to post this, and if not, I apologize.
The glass in one corner of my S7 Plus tablet is cracked and I am looking to get it fixed, depending on cost. The touchscreen still seems to be unaffected by the broken glass, so I did not think I would need to replace the LCD screen, just the glass.
I contacted a local phone repair place near me to see if I bought a glass panel from Amazon and brought it to them with my tablet if they could do the replacement. They said that it would need to be the glass and LCD screen because they are fused together. The cost of the repair work would be around $130. That did not seem too high to me, but I have never been in this position before, so I have nothing to compare it to.
I have looked online for the cost to get the glass and LCD from Samsung (genuine part would keep the warranty intact from what I have read) and I am only finding pricing for Samsung Australia. That price was around $325 (if I did the conversion right), so I would be looking at over $450 (not counting shipping for the glass and LCD) at minimum.
I am not comfortable trying to replace the glass and LCD myself, so I know my options may be limited. My concern is that for $450 I could instead buy another nice Android tablet (or a Windows one that I can install Linux onto, which I kind of want to do anyways). Is anyone aware of any other replacement options I might be able to try or are worth investigating? This was the one time I did not get the extended warranty from Amazon that would have covered this damage...
Any advice, help, or ideas are greatly appreciated!

You want a OEM part not a CCP knockoff; the display quality may be inferior or have interface issues.
If it's an LCD display a used OEM one should work fine. Those can likely be found for cheap.
Or simply use as is.
Watch a tear down vid. I'm don't think they're fused. Most are not... although I maybe mistaken.

So that was my first thought, but the repair shop said they were fused and when I searched YouTube for repair videos a couple mentioned needed to heat the glass (broken one not the new one) to remove it and then gently remove residue or something. I am not confident in being able to do the repair myself (hands shake too much and really bad carpal tunnel) and am worried I would break it in the process.

Do some more research. If the are available used on ebay, it's not that hard!
Probably a heat gun properly used will do the job fine.
Lots of repair shops around and online; find a less greedy one. Or a knowledgeable tech at church etc willing to help.
Do Not get isopropyl or any solvents near the liquid crystal display!!!
It will poison it. The sides of the panel are not sealed.
Thanks for the advice. I will do some more research and see what I can find. Hopefully, I can figure out something that doesn't cost as much, but will still work well. I am still kicking myself for not putting it in a protective case and getting the extended warranty from Amazon that would have covered this.

I don't think it will be as bad as you think if you get the right person to repair it.
Just be careful with it for now. Make sure all your critical data is redundantly backed up.
I case everything... it's the only reason my devices weren't destroyed long ago.
