Greetings,
I was wondering. A few weeks back I broke the glass on my HTC HD2. It was only the glass, because the screen and touch capability was working as usual.
Sent it in for repairs same day as it was broken, and this is week 3 now, and they are still waiting to get the parts for it.
Also they told me that they could not just replace the glass, but they had to replace everything, including the LCD and all. Is this correct? Because it's getting quite costly for me, since they estimated that the repairs would be around $420 / 2500NOK / £280.
Is this true? Do you have to replace everything? Or are they just saying it to earn some more $$$. I'm guessing they're not paying that much to buy the parts.
They have to because from what I have read, the LCD is glued to the digitizer.

Is this what you are looking for?

Hello
I would check that price mate as I have just had mine in with HTC for a full LCD replacement and it cost £73 for the LCD and £30 labour so im not sure who is quoting you those prices.

How did you arrange repair? My brother has cracked his screen and had it replaced under insurance, the company have suggested he get it repaired as a back up or sell it.

that is simply robbery. TMobile US is selling brand new HD2's for that price. can't you find another service center?
On ebay a digitizer for touch hd costs about 50 €. the lcd display alone wouldnt be that expensive too i think.

And even in the store that other guy gave you the link to there is a huge price difference to the price you were told to pay.
For that price just buy a new one and save that for pieces
It sounds expensive to me. I saw iPhone screen repairs advertised for £39. It's not the same screen, I know, and there are more iPhones around, but I'd expect the cost to be similar.
so, i recently received a replacement Evo from the repair center, and not even a full week later, my screen shatters from a 2ft fall . I left my evo on my lap, and rushed out of my car and completely forgot i had placed my evo on my lap. Well hearing my phone smack the road was a quick reminder of it. Lucky Damaged screens are covered under free replacement from the sprint repair center. Sprint use to never replace damaged phone with out having to pay the deductible. is this new, or have i just been dealing with the wrong people? attacheted is a picture of my evo. by the way, although the screen is shattered, it is 100% fully functional .
I just went threw the EXACT same thing on Friday pretty much. The FIRST time my EVO ever fell (about 2~3 feet) it shattered the screen.
I stuck my EVO in my hoodie pocket in my garage and the rubber case had hung up on the materiel so it didn't get all the way in my pocket. I let go thinking it was all the way in my pocket (was in a rush to get somewhere) and it hit the concrete floor face down.
The outside screen was 100% ok but the inner screen, the one that actually lights up was shattered.
I took it to my local sprint store which was only 3 blocks away and asked about a replacement expecting to pay the $100.00 dollar deductible. I was informed there was NO deductible and that Sprint had changed the policy a couple months ago with regards to replacing the broken screens. I asked why the change, because so many have broken? The store manager said yep, pretty much. Easier to just replacement them then deal with pissed off customers and potential law suits over something that breaks SO easy.
Anyway they were out of Novatech screens so they sent me over to a Corporate store. Took about two hours to get it fixed. They replaced the WHOLE front and even gave me the old one back because I had a Zagg protector on it. They told me to go to Zagg.com and claim a warranty on it which I did, should be here within a week!
same here, i walked in thinking they weren't going to cover it. I myself use to cause a stink when they wouldn't cover cracked screens. makes things a lot easier when sprint actually works with you. now my replacement is on its way, should be there tomorrow. i really am considering buying the otter box.
But in the long run, seems as though MOST people end up paying more into insurance than they actually get out of it
I absolutely agree, you end up paying $100 just to get a used phone. I just checked ##786# my phone was initially activated 7/1510

You even had a screen protector and it still cracked?
I've got to watch mine more carefully. I bought the Sprint screen protector for mine. Even after countless drops no cracks yet. But i can see a couple cracks on screen protector but not on screen itself.
Yay for insurance, even-though many would pay more into insurance than they get, at least there is a sense of protection.
Yup, that is one of the sprint sold protectors, it helps with scratches... Thats about it. Yes, if you love your evo, be careful haha

Same problem with my homeowners and car insurance.
One thing I realized about insurance....you only need it when you dont have it.
dropped my phone from like 3 feet and this is what happened. luckily there is a place here in sac that can replace the glass for $100. i called in and they have the part. hopefully its legit.
saw the same thing happen last night. Kid told me today that sprint insurance doesn't cover screens anymore. Said they won't even look at an EVO if the screen is cracked. Is that true?
The Sprint store here doesn't cover glass screens. Best Buy has their insurance policy and they will cover cracked screens though. My friend just dropped his Evo and it cracked the screen, when he had someone repair it they accidentally punctured the LCD with a piece of the broken glass. He now has a fairly dead Evo, but the guy is willing to replace the parts next week when he gets them in.
It honestly is very easy to repair the digitizer and the LCD screen (Depending on which one you need).
I knew fairly nothing about the phone, I did a little research and bought the "Type 1" LCD screen for the HTC Evo. The connector was too small so I did more searching, I eventually found the right screen at GlobalPartsDirect. (Search google).
It has the Wide Connector that you'll need if you have one of the HDW004/3. I personally would open up the back of the phone and check the connector myself, If i were you.
It's an easy fix, only question, do you have the money to buy two from globalpartsdirect (They only ship in multiples). Then you're golden, plus, you'll have an extra LCD screen to repair your phone if it happens again.

Wait what?? TEP doesn't cover screen glass??
Damn I dropped mine off my lap on concrete from sitting in a car, glass down and not one crack or mark. Got super lucky.
Which place in sac?
Does op not have insurance?
If so take the battery out and report it lost. Your gonna have to pay anyway.

TEP no longer covers cracks over an inch in length. A small crack can get replaced because it is covered under normal wear.

No, they won't even look at it. I was told exactly that by the rep of the repair center I went to. "We are not allowed to even touch the phone if the glass is cracked." They will not fix it. I even offered to buy the parts myself and pay for the labor, and that is when I was told they can't even look/touch it.

Well, it's total equipment protection in the same sense that a bumper-to-bumper warranty covers your car. If your car's engine takes a crap on you and your car is under warranty, they will fix it. However, if there is a rock on the road and you go over it with your car and crack the oil pan, all the oil leaks out and then your engine gets seized, you wouldn't really take it to the dealer for a warranty repair, would you?
In that case, you would call your car insurance company which is where Asurion comes in.
Gravity is not Sprint's fault. However, I think they should fix the phone if you are willing to pay for it instead of having to find some 3rd party electronics repair shop to do it. If they did, then maybe people wouldn't be committing insurance fraud like DirtyShroomz mentioned.
See, if I drop my phone now again and I call Asurion, they will replace it and then refuse to give me coverage until a year passes by, since you're only allowed two claims per year. If Sprint would have fixed my phone for $100, I would have given them the $100 instead of Asurion and saved the claim for the day I lose it or damage it beyond repair. I think Sprint is actually losing revenue by turning away repair jobs from phones that fall under the "physical damage" category.
Correct, Sprint's coverage has never been accidental. They used to occasionally cover drops, but spills and water damage have always been out of the question. It's the reason I buy my phones at Best Buy. I don't have to wait for a rebate, and I can get 100% accidental (full submersion included) protection on my phone, with a loaner phone if it needs to be sent out. It's 10 bucks a month, but compared to a new phone it's not bad.
That being said, I don't have it on my Evo as I know how to change out LCD panels now.
Assurion covers it.
I called in Friday about a broken screen(the entire piece of glass was shattered) and I got my brand spankin new Evo on Monday
That screen replacement deal was good while it lasted. Had my TP2 screen replaced under TEP before selling ur on here. Well, actually they ordered me a whole other phone, as they had no screens in stock. Too bad they are so whack about it now.
I've seen official policy posted before. It's anything over an inch is not supposed to be repaired. But what the hell is the difference? 1" vs shattered screen, you still replace the same pieces right?

I always use a rubber. Its kept my phone in great shape.
Cracked mine a couple weeks ago, called insurance and next day had a brand new 004 not a refurb. I was very happy with that. Also they shiped me a battery ,charger and 8gb memory card but just wanted my phone back in return. Not a bad deal .
You don't have to buy in bulk...I have lcd and digitizers for sale together already. I sold one to.crucial on the forum and a back housing to another member

I have a broken screen as well. Anyone knows where I can send it in for repairs? I am not that good with small parts so I cannot repair it myself.
Broke the glass of A500. Was just a day old. Everything seems fine with LCD and sensors. Only cracks on the glass. Acer guys told me it comes as a whole unit along with LCD and costs 200$
You guys know any place where i can just get the digitizer? Any suggestions are welcome

Accident insurance cost extra here in the states.
These two are all that I can find on Ebay. Both are $155 usd shipped.
Unfortunately it is an assembly, lcd and digitizer. Hopefully you can simply find a digitizer for less.
Plus...
Either one will have to ship from China so the wait will be most likely be a long one.
OP, check your pm inbox .
mmh Thanx a lot guys. But i found just the digitizer on ebay for 99$. Im not a US resident so I do not have the luxury of getting awesome insurance plans. But still not sure if i can open the piece and replace it. .

Odd, not for me.
When I got mine I registered it online and I have 1 year of Accidental Damage insurance. I didn't pay anything extra for it.
My brother has the black S7 Edge with a Unicorn Beetle protective case on it as well as a plastic screen protector. This morning, he dropped it on that kind of surface that has a bump on the door step to his room. I don't know what's that actually called, but his screen fell to hit that first. There's no external damages and the screen is fine, but his LCD got cracked with flashing white on the bottom half of the screen.
I have Costco Squaretrade warranty so we just have to pay a deductible, but they tell us to bring it to a local repair shop to fix it while they will reimburse it afterwards. To much of my surprise, I called one repair shop and it costs $399 for parts and labor altogether to fix it!
Do you guys have any other suggestions about how much should the LCD really costs? That's pretty much a good price too buy another phone. Lol

They are very expensive because the actual LCD is costly. I personally went with the protection plan from Verizon. It's a $200 deductible if you break or lose the phone for $11 a month.

See, I can't do Verizon's protection plans anymore. $11 a month with a $200 deductible. Let's say you keep your phone for two years with that protection plan. $11 * 12 months = $132 * 2 years = $264. With Squaretrade, especially through Costco, it's $120 for two years with an $85 deductible. $120/2 = $60 a year/12 months = $5 a month. It's a far cheaper insurance in comparison and they will compensate me on the $400 that I guess that I'll have to drop tomorrow minus the deductible....
Anyhow, any good cases to highly recommend against damages like this in the future?

The difference is you'll get an aftermarket china screen repaired by someone who probably hasn't repaired an s7e screen yet. Will almost guarantee you it wont be water proof anymore, wont be gorilla glass, Digitizer will very likely have or develop dead spots, LCD probably isn't same quality and it'll probably have little to no oleophobic coating to repel fingerprints.
I repair screens daily and am familiar with aftermarket screens. Even buying screens at wholesale with no labor i'd rather use Asurion for my personal phone.
With ATT & Asurion insurance if i don't have a claim in 6 months they cut deductible in half to $99, and they normally just send a new phone, and they ship overnight. I've never received a refurb from them, at least that i could tell. Not saying they don't send refurbs, i just couldn't tell, always look brand new. And when i broke my s6e they gave me my s7e as the replacement and mailed overnight. I wish Samsung would do like HTC and replace the screen free 1 time.
If i had to use square trade, i'd send the phone to samsung and let them replace the screen with original samsung parts. It'll be cheaper than local shop using aftermarket parts, but it'll take 7-10 days. I sent them an s6 the other day and they replaced screen for $129. Cheaper than i could buy an aftermarket screen. For some reason they insist on wiping the phone. They say it's so they can test everything properly. I've installed many hundred screens and never needed to reset a phone. And if anything else is broke or damaged cosmetically , they want to replace that too. Tried to charge me for a back glass that i didnt ask for. They said it was their policy to repair everything that's broken, requested or not. They gave me the back glass for free after talking to manager.
on this page you'll see 2 alerts in blue then a show more button below them. Click that and you'll get to the screen repair section with prices and instructions. s6e and s6e plus is $299. they dont show the 7 edge but i'm sure they repair them and its probably same price as s6edge. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-G935AZSAATT#
Don't drop you phone... problem solved.
So I walked into a local repair shop and they have the kit from Samsung to replace, but it'll cost $400 plus tax to fix and all. One thing they did advise me is that once it's done, the phone will not be water resistant anymore. Dropping $400 for it to lose a feature permanently is an absolute no.
I called up Samsung to see what they told me and a rep over the phone said that if there are no visible cracked screens or anything, it can be covered under warranty. I'm puzzled by that statement even though it was dropped, but it's true that I find it highly weird the LCD is damaged but nothing on the outside is damaged. What do you all think?
And I have attached a photo of what's wrong with the phone. I'm tempted on purchasing the Ghostek 2.0 Atomic case for full fledged protection.

Paying a lot extra for a higher quality of repair is something I'm OK with. Also being able to use my own case of choice is nice rather than getting a tank case and fearing the day when my screen cracks.

If there is no visible physical damage they will never know it was dropped. It is unusual for the LCD to die without the glass being busted but it happens. I would take it to Verizon store and have it replaced under factory warranty.

Just to update the topic, it seems like it's a somewhat common issue for the S7 series that have a damaged LCD whereas the outside body and glass of the phone can remain pristine as out of the box. As you can see here in this video, they're testing out the ruggedness of this phone case for a regular S7. It protected it from everything, but Samsung's build quality within the phone is very lacking.
https://www.facebook.com/ghostekproducts/videos/539751482902263/
Anyhow, I received a notification yesterday that Samsung has received the phone and will be in the care of one of its technicians. And literally before midnight at the end of the day, they notified me that the repair was completed and ready for shipping. The service ticket was expecting the service to be completed by the 30th of this month, and they just finished within the day. No charge too!
I will be waiting to get the phone back and see if the water resistance is still part of the phone's main feature.

How expensive - I had Samsung replace a screen a few years ago on a Note, and they were the cheapest and (of course) best replacement I could find - 1/2 of a few local options. It included 2 day shipping going and coming back.
B+ Grade / SBI cheap replacement screen will be the best choice
Yes you are correct, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge screen are very expensive, the cost is almost up to a new phone.
After doing a lot of search and repair guide from ifixit, Finally i bought a "B-Grade-LCD-Screen-Touch-Digitizer-Assembly-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-Gold" at $189 from ebay.
it takes about 2 weeks arrived. after testing it. i found the quality is excellent. it was amazing, there is a little defective spot on the screen, but it is almost $160 cheaper than oem, why not?
Cheapest Silver one I could find was $305. Samsung quoted me $260 including shipping.
