So I dropped my phone, screen cracked. Pretty upset about it considering it was only dropped from about a foot.
Anyway, looking for repair options. I have insurance and heard LG is another way to go but looking for a different option.
My screen is cracked, digitizer responsed only where their is no cracks, LCD is fine.
Looking up repair places, they want to replace the whole assembly LCD/Screen, so my question
how difficult is replacing just the screen? i'd say I do pretty well at DIY
anyone have a good repair person who just does the screen or anyone will to sell your services to me?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I replace my wife's G3 screen that was very damaged from the impact, I bought the part on ebay for $107 about two months ago, I replaced the screen, no to hard to do.

Hey guys I dropped my phone pretty hard yesterday, it doesnt appear that the outter glass cracked, but the screen stays completly black now, but if you look at it right you can see cracks that appear to be under the outter glass. I have seen the digitizer kits to fix lcd screens for about $150 so if i bought one of those would that fix my issue? im asking cause most the time i see that it fixes cracked lcds and like i said mine isnt cracked on the outter glass its cracked inside and the screen stays black, but i know its on because the bottom buttons light up and i get sound and vibration just fine. so would lcd digitizer replacement fix this?
If you have insurance, I'd utilize that.

I'm sure all phone insurances with sprint don't cover severe physical damaged caused by you..
If you have the insurance, replacing the entire device would cost $150 and save you the time and trouble of fixing it. By far the easiest option if you have it.
If not, it depends on your level of expertise with electronic repair. The LED screen and digitizer (touchscreen) are glued together on this phone, meaning you wuld have to have a good deal of patience and skill with a heat gun in order to pull the two apart. Your best bet might be searching for a digitizer and LED screen in one piece. I've seen them for $260-270 on eBay.
I'm a Sprint technician, so feel free to ask any other questions and I'll help if I can. Sorry about your luck with the phone, bud!
Dropped my phone on asphalt today and got a big hairline crack across the screen . (Attached pics)
It really hurts cause i always baby this phone and just the rush to get to work and in my car, completely missed my pocket.
The screen is still responsive to touch and seems to be working normal thank god the lcd screen wasnt damaged and the digitizer didn't shatter.
Got a few questions t
1) just wanted to clarify that the digitizer lies ontop the LCD screen?
2) and that is all that needs replacing?(from damage seen in the pics)
3) also mine is branded just HTC(no carrier, so it's international GSM version?)
4) would it matter if i bought a replacement digitizer meant for the at&t version or not?
5) should be getting a one x that had some water damage and is no longer working. would the digitizer from this phone be a viable option for me to use as a replacement or should i just order the part online.( I really want it replaced fast and if i have to order the replacement it will take about a week to 2 weeks to arrive in my country
so apparently i can't attach any urls until i make 10 posts or i'd show u guys the part i wanted to order but its basically just a screen digitizer from ebay with tools needed for about $17.86.(is that cheap, good or expensive price considering the item + tools)
can you guys please search for it on ebay?the title of the post/part is Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Lens Replacement For HTC One X S720 + Free Tools
the link above is the item i'm looking to order for replacement. is it the right part i'm looking at?and would that be all i need or is there anything else i should add?also quality wise would it be top pick or are there any better options available?
Attached some pics also.Advice would be greatly appreciated.
You are unlikely to be able to separate the digitizer and lcd without damaging the LCD.
A water damaged phone may have a water damaged screen.
Search one of the other broken screen threads for more information.
I've replaced several screens on captivate.easiest way is get replacement(LCD+digetizer) from ebay,Google procedure.watch or read as many times as needed to feel confident to take apart phone.the hardest part is seperating LCD from phone(they use adhesive to secure LCD to phone).I used razor to carefully cut adhesive.
Most components are plug&play.just follow guide completely,u should be fine.
My LCD was $85 on ebay.good luck.

Hi everyone,
First, I hope there's not another thread opened about this, I promise I did several searches and couldn't find one that was close enough
I have some question about screen replacement.
My dad just dropped his note 2 and damaged the screen (really unfortunate, it was really a little drop!), so I was looking into buying a screen from eBay and replace it myself. yes, it's tricky, but not all that much imo (big +1 to the guy from the YT channel LE55ONS, his videos about this kind of stuff are amazingly well done).
So, the screen is broken, the display is not, but if I bring the phone to the rapair guy he will almost certainly replace the screen and the display for €200+
If I buy something like this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40
and replace it myself I can do the whole thing and spend some €50 tops.
I was thinking about this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gray-Front-O...item3a7dc376c5
Here come the questions. Can anyone point me towards a good screen replacement for something around $20/30? Is the quality good? I asked the seller if it is actually gorilla glass 2 and he said yes.
Also, these don't have any connectors, the original one has 2. I can always use the connectors from the old screen, but if someone knows about a screen with connectors included, can they please let me know? There's nothing like asking to someone who has already done something like what I'm about to do.
Thank you everyone
Mine dropped from two feet and hairline cracked across the whole screen. I bought the full assembly LCD/digitizer. Did the repair per LE55ONS. AOK now. afterwards, i tried to pry apart the digitizer. In my Note II is is bonded with transparent gum covering the entire LCD. No way to replace only the digitizer.

If you buy the digitizer with the screen attached that's sooo much easier to replace, it's almost not even risky. But it costs somewhere around $200, the same as having it repaired by a professionist. Did you find a cheaper replacement?
Hello
Today my Z1C digitizer got broken (cracked), it got broken without any drops, I suspect phone bend or something, but I can't find real reason why it cracked in 1 place.
LCD is in perfect condition. I wanted to order digitizer however everyone offer complete expensive set (digitizer with lcd etc).
Is there possible to repair phone by only replacing digitizer or Z1C have digitizer integrated with lcd, or there is something why all offer full set only ?

My screen developed a hairline crack, the same as you, I couldn't work out how it happened, I didn't drop it or anything.
I raised a call to Sony support to say that the top half of the screen had stopped responding (true), didn't mention crack as it was almost impossible to see.
After doing the ususal 'plug it in to PC Companion and repair' guidance from the helpdesk, it was decided to send it back to service centre.
7 days later my phone was back with repaired screen, no cost.
I think Sony are brilliant for repairing screen damage, I don't know of any other manufacturer that does that.
Try to get your phone repaired on warranty.
Hello everyone!
Recently i cracked the screen glass on my 5X. Normally it's not a very bothersome crack, but it goes right through the middle of the camera and makes it practically useless, so i'm planning on replacing the screen assembly, probably ordering it from aliexpress. Do any of you know of a certain "brand" i should be avoiding? Any feedback on the subject is appreciated!
I just bought mine yesterday on amazon, take a look
