Sorry its not the digitiser that's damaged its just the LCD, you can buy on EBay £35, pity but expensive mistake.

following the statement, it's not the digitizer it's just the LCD .. just buy a new one and find instructions on the internet how to replace it

thanks a million guys for your help
So I dropped my phone and it cracked. The sprint repair center said they didn't have extra screens and I had to pay to get a replacment.
So I'm going to try and fix this myself. My question is, does anyone know if there is like 2 separate screens on the epic? I'm guessing something like the gorilla screen and then the actual inner screen? Because what cracked is only the outside and mostly by the capitive buttons. Could I order a replacement screen and just fix this my self? Would it be hard to do it?

May just be easier to replace the entire top sliding section, including screen.

The glass layer and the LCD is sealed together professionally by Samsung for better display effects, so you have to replace them together. I've done the change a year ago and it cost me ~$70. I'm in China though.

How much do you think that would cost? And can you show me where to find that because I'm searching on ebay and can't find just the top screen part.

I'm going to T-Mobile and probably getting a S4 so I'm not trying to pay that much for the Epic, it's going to be my game and music phone only.
I found this,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-Sprint-...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item43ae84d53f
not sure if that's what I need though. Never mind, that's just the screen I wouldn't be able to put that on my phone. So, where can I find the whole top sliding part?
If i were you, i would get a bricked or water damaged or broken USB port epic off ebay for like $20 (i got one with broken usb for $14) and just switch out the motherboards. That is the easiest method and cheapest

Ya I've seen a few epics that were up for sale for parts and repair. Ill probably do that because the crack gets worse everyday and it started going to the top. I was first planing on just putting black electric tape on the capitive lights (that's the worst part of the crack) and just putting a screen protector over it and use the nav bar so I won't need the buttons on the bottom lol.

Hi everyone!
My Optimus G fell off the table, and apparently it hit the floor with the right top edge of the phone, so that's where the screen is slightly cracked. The worst part is that the touch screen is now only working from the middle to the bottom of the screen. No touch screen upwards.
I know that there must be something broken inside but what's up with the touch screen? Does any one knows how it works?
If I had to replace the screen, can I do it myself with the proper tools? Is it expensive?
You broke your digitalizer man the entire screens gotta be replaced just take it somwhere

Thankfully i dropped my nexus7 with a poetic case that i got in the mail yesterday. The tablet screen looks ok (no cracks). the back of devise has a crack near the power button about the length of the camera cut out. there is also a slight crack near the camera about half the length of the camera cut out.
the devise will turn on, but all i can see is a "lit" blank screen. I can't see anything else. It just displays white light. can this be fixed and if so how?
Your backlight works still, but your LCD has either come loose internally, or you have broken it so that it will not display a screen :\

so if i were to repair it i would need to only buy a LCD screen? how to check if the LCD is loose internally? can you provide screen shots and or a vid of someone pointing out the location. LCD can become broken even with no cracks to the screen

If you need screens, you may not want to attempt the fix. Its not terribly difficult, but you should have a general knowledge of hardware repair and electricity. Ifixit has a teardown

hello everyone,
My friend's OG Pro was drop but can still power on (vibrate upon charging). The device has a 1 inch hairline crack on its touch screen digitizer but the LCD only shows a blank/no picture display when turn on.
I find this weird cause in most cases I notice that OG Pro LCD is pretty much durable even if the digitizer has a small web cracked.
Has anyone here have similar situation as my friend' phone?

The same has happened to me. I have seen people with bigger cracks on their phones while mine looked like a scratch and would not show nothing on the screen. Had it replaced and all is back to good. I guess it depends on where the crack is.

hello ricanares,
Did you try to re-connect if maybe the LCD cable connector was dislodge after the drop of your phone ?
