Cost of fixing/replacing screen? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi.
how much does it cost to fix/replace the screen of the galaxy nexus device? i dropped my work's galaxy nexus and the screen is cracked with a small hole near the edge of the screen.
the phone seems to still work and the screen is still responsive as ever but actual screen casing is cracked.
I dont think its insured by work but just incase , how much is it to repair/replace? Same cost as the device? i hope not as im already stressing about it lol.
Who would fix it? Samsung themselves or do i ask a specialist?
I am based in london by the way if that helps.
thanks

id suggest you fix it yourself, just buy the sreen which is about $250 :s, but hey its at least not as much as a new nexus
taking the phone apart the device is quite easy try using these links here:

And if he send it back to samsung its gonna be 160$.... at the moment its not worth to repair it by himself.
Youll need to wait for the price to go down if you want to replace if yourself.

Yea i seen the prices of the digitiser and it aint cheap. they start at around £160-£200

Where to find a spare battery cover?

Anyone know where I could find a spare battery cover for my black mytouch 4g? I had my phone taken apart on my bed and when i came back my dog decided it was a nice chew toy to play with. Its completely bent to the point where i cant get it on the phone no matter what.

sometimes people sell display model fake phones on E-bay. these phones are usually the case with a fake screen plastered on the front and may be of use to you... i don't know if that will apply to this phone, but it's worth a try
This One is 20 bucks and is a non functional dummy display... It might be made of plastic, but usually in my experiences these are actual phone bodies, with fake insides (or no insides as it were...)

looking at this image it looks like the battery door on it may be able to work... no way to tell unless the seller is willing to let you know or you take the plunge and try it
one of the auctions says "can't be used for spare parts" but that could be referring to the internals. you should ask one of the sellers if the battery door is removeable and have them send you a pic of it removed if it is so you can determine if it will work.

Busted Screen and Bezel

Ok so my wife got her original incredible run over by a car. I called it into insurance over the long weekend but needed a replacement immediately as she is pregnant. So i went ahead and bought her the incredible 2 (full retail). She let my 3 yr old daughter hold it while coming out of the store who then proceded to drop it and ran over it with a shopping cart shattering the screen on that one. i got the replacement incredible in but now need to replace the glass on the INC2.
I cant find anyone online who has them yet and i cant file another claim on the insurance as it wasnt manufacturers defect and im maxed out on claims. Any ideas on where i can get a replacement glass and bezel? my only other option is to set the phone back up on my third line and pay the fees till the insurance kicks in which will cost me more than the glass replacement. Any help would be appreciated.

Here it is hope that helps.
Edit: actualy thats the LCD, my bad. But still
you have 30 days to buy insurance for this phone as well? i know this is almost a fraud but.... maybe should buy insurance for this phone and then claim it in a couple of days...
p.s. i am not suggesting anything. i am not responsible for any lawsuit, liability, etc. in regards to your equipment.
I think this may be all you need. http://bit.ly/MjIYJ

Guide to changing the faceplate

Hey guys I need to replace my face plate (see picture) and was looking for a guide on how to do it. All the ones that I found are for changing the whole screen, or is it more or less the same thing as doing that? Thanks

You are going to have a super tough time doing this (I'm not even sure if it is possible). The display is physically bonded to the faceplate.

Well that sucks.. can anyone else confirm this?
That's how it was on the SGS2, so it wouldn't surprise me.
For the first time ever, I cracked my phones screen. Sucks it was my damn SGS3. I need to replace mine.

That sucks man, I just got some paint peeling off at the bottom of mine, bothering the hell out of me. Would hate to spend 200$ just to fix that.
Yes the screen is glued to faceplate which is glued to the digitizer, this is my understanding at least. Good luck Bro.

Yeah it's a pain. I'd rather use insurance to fix this one. It's the same price and I get a brand new phone.

In Canada with Rogers, bought it off someone on a trading site with no receipt. Am I completely screwed?
Pretty much..
Might not be screwed. Its seems as a deficit. Call Samsung. Might still be able to do a warranty claim.

If you get no result with samsung warranty you can try to buy a new screen on ebay and replace it. Since the faceplate is glued to the screen its the easiest way i can think. Be sure to buy the screen for the i747 not the international version or it won't fit. Theres a lot of video on the net showing how to replace screen on s3.
So did u ever get it fixed or replaced

Why would you change the glass to fix the SD Card?
I think(?) he means that the broken sd card isn't a big deal, so he wants to change the glass on his existing phone instead of buying a new phone.

Ahh.. I get it now
OP, that's about right price (trust me, I've bought 5 in total now)
Before you buy a new screen, you should watch a couple of videos of replacing the screen. So you really know that you can do it. It's a pretty complicated and maybe a hard thing to do.
Good luck!
Ok i will buy a new screen
How about the sd card problem?
During the change of the glass i have a chance of looking what is causing the sdcard problem.. Can u give me any advice?
P.s should i make a new topic?
