OK, I know its a long shot, but does anyone have a hd2 screen they would like to sell, maybe one from a bricked phone? I dont have a lot of cash which is the reason I'm not buying a new one. I will happily pay postage and a little something for you or a donation to a charity of your choice - I was thinking around the £25 mark (its all I can afford really ).
I'm trying to get another 12 months from my hd2 before I upgrade to a One-X (depending on reviews )

I would buy it new so I know that the digitizer will work... just to be on the safe side... there's a good chance digitizer and/lcd screen will break during removal process unless you have experience removing digitizer then go for it.

I just can't bring myself to spend almost £100 for a new one - I'm quite confident I could do the job.
Maybe I should just go for one of the new quad core phones and say goodbye to the hd2, but I wanted to keep it as a second phone, I like the hd2 so much I have been using it with a badly cracked screen for almost a year and have the scars on my thumb to prove it

Instead of repairing and risking the damage... why not buy a used one and sell that one as part... I'm sure you'll make some money back to cover for the new one... its just options that I'm giving you...

I've cracked my screen
Went go-karting today and got thrown around so much in the kart that the screen cracked.
So, what's the best way about getting it repaired?
Can I just send it straight back to HTC UK and get the screen replaced under warranty? My phone is rooted, but not unlocked.
I have not returned a phone yet, but as many have stated, "it does not void your warranty to root, only to unlock the bootloader" so in theory you should just be able to send it in.
.....except that warranty won't cover a cracked screen.. I think the going rate was $280?
are you insured through assurion?
You broke it, you buy it.

I dropped my N1 on the floor in my house (stone floors) two weeks ago and cracked the glass screen.. picked up a new glass screen on ebay for $38 shipped and spent about two hours replacing it myself.. turned out perfect.. just be very patient and take your time during the replacement process.
This is the damage, I don't think the glass is broken so is it just the LCD screen beneath that I'll need to replace?

No, it's the digitizer/screen. The display would be a lot more expensive to replace.
Hi mate.. if the amoled still works you are fine yiu would just need a new digitalizer, about £20 from ebay and fix it youself.. if the amolded wkrks you need a new lcd, £45 from ebay.. i nroke my amoled, fixed it and now works.. good luck!!

If that's the case, then why when I power it on does nothing appear?
It vibrates when booting so I know its working?
when i dropped my nexus one, the amoled broke, not the outer screen/digitizer. i believe the cost for a new amoled was around $85 plus shipping and it would also cost your warranty. therefore, i sent it back in for repair and it cost $115 total, warranty still intact. btw, i opted for a refurb unit instead of waiting for them to return my damaged unit.
good luck, you have to decide if its worth voiding your warranty to fix it yourself.

Sorry I missed that part.. Yeah if it's not showing anything the display has problems, although I find it odd it would break but not the digitizer.

It is gonna be high! You wille get 3 options..1) fix the phone for a very high price 2) get the phone and pay around $40 for the labour and delivery 3) dispose of the phone for free by htc.. so pretty much re use the parts for another phone..

Having searched the internets I've found reports of people having it fixed by HTC UK for between £60 - £100
Also, I was told if I didn't want them to carry out the work there would be a £20 fee to return the phone to cover postage and the engineers time.
I think you're estimates are way off, however, I'm going to wait until I get my quote or I'll be eating my words...

You have properly screwed the screen and you seem ok with it
Wish I could be as relaxed as that haha.
Hey buddy i had the same issue with my desire.. cracked in a similar way, HTC quoted me £238 for screen, housing, new logic board & labour.. even asked them just to replaced the screen cos i did see anything wrong with the housing but they said they couldn't do it cos motherboard had been bent..
so just got a replacement lcd from ebay at £45, took 45mins to fit the new screen everything working correctly
oh and the logic board wasn't bent! cheeky HTC

I've already spoken my mobile insurance and they repair/replace accidental damage so I know I can go through them if it's going to cost too much.
They'll repair, replace, give an alternative if they don't have the model or give a cash equivalent.

Hi, I never posted in this area of XDA before(have a Dash 3g that started acting funny, I want to get another phone) I might have a chance to buy Droid 2, but it has a cracked glass screen, but the owner says it works, the phone is very cheap(not close to 100 dollars), would it be worth buying it and i replace the screen either by trying to do it myself or paying for a repair?
This is hard to answer. How comfortable are you with changing a screen? I'm not, so I'd pass. I got my Droid on Craigslist for $150 in immaculate condition. Perhaps you should keep looking, but it's your call.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
I'll be looking, but i don't have the money to spend 150 right now. If i bought it and try to fix it myself i might just have to be slow and take my time. Thanks for the reply.

To fix the screen, you'll have to pretty much take the entire phone apart.
And it's very easy to damage parts if you're not careful. Plus, there's the cost of the replacement glass (digitizer). It might not be worth it for the small savings, if any, after you put the work into it or pay someone else to.
yeah, i think in the end, its going to cost you more to repair it than to simply buy a used one on craigslist or something.
Thanks for the responses, I didn't buy it.
Hi all,
Recently I dropped my Vega and broke the glass and digitizer.
Curry's have told me that it wouldn't be economical to repair & charged me £20 for the pleasure.
I have also gotten various different quotes from other quite frankly dubious companies online all above £180.
So I have come to the decision that it would be a lot more risk free to just buy another one.
I'd like to know if anyone knows a good place to sell my broken Vega for parts? Everything else is tested and working fine on it. I would stick it on eBay but I'm not really sure what a fair price would be.
If anyone could offer advice I would greatly appreciate it if I can reclaim any of my money back.
Thanks very much
Simon
Where do you plan on purchasing a replacement mate?
I've been desperately trying to get a hold of a new one for two weeks now!
Everywhere is out of stock. I've tried every Currys and PC World in the North East and online, they're all gone.
Any ideas?
I'd like to steer clear of eBay as nobody will guarantee a 100% scratch free screen.

:crying:So my girlfriend managed to drop my beautiful white s3 and now i wanna drop her ass. somehow she managed to break it the same day i rooted it and started to truly enjoy it.
Screen cracked at the top corner now theres a spider crack all over the top of the screen with a couple of cracks that run down to the middle phone still works, but the crack is killing me on the inside hehe. Now funny part is i bought the defender for it the day i bought it cause i knew it was too weak to handle a hard drop, and i've been checking the mail for it for 2 weeks now. then she comes and does that just the day before it arrived. After crying inside a while and just wanting to punch someone i managed to start looking at options.
checked online and the parts cost $240-$290, bell and best buy can fix it by it'll cost at least $325. I also bought the best buy protection plan (12.99/month). am thinking I should be able to find some cheap non-samsung parts for much cheaper than that, replace the screen and give it to best buy for an exchange as long as something is wrong with it (not sure wt though )

Only thing I could think of is they might do it different over there in Canada. I think that is where the OP is from.
Just posted about this in the other cracked screen thread...
"Missed my damn pocket on Saturday night, and dropped mine on the garage floor. Got a small crack about as wide a finger nail from the right side of the ear piece curving up to the edge. Which is strange, cause the only other mark on the phone is a small scuff at the bottom of the back cover. But, I have BB insurance, so its in being fixed with no deductible! I've dropped my epic a few times in the last year, and not scratch on the screen. Makes me wonder what they changed in the formula from og gorilla glass to gorilla glass 2. 
As much as I don't want to add all the bulk to it, the Otterbox Defender, or Trident Kraken may be in its future...

not sure how you guys manage your finances, but if there is a fee, shouldn't see be paying for it?
If I dropped my girl's laptop, phone, crashed her car (or w/e) and we weren't pretty much married, I would cover it to get whatever it is fixed.
I dropped my friend's motorcycle helmet while handing it to him several years ago. he didn't have a good grip and as I passed it, it slipped into his hand from mine and fell to the concrete floor. it was still intact, but had nice bruising from the concrete. I apologized and got him a new one within a week...

The PEP from Best Buy in Canada is different than the one in the US. It does not cover physical damage, liquid damage, basically they call it "stupidity". I'm not calling it that, that's how they word it. PEP from Best Buy only extends the manufacturer's warranty. So instead of getting refurbs, you get brand new replacements. And you can pick a different phone if you want. I posted in another thread indicating that no carrier or 3rd party store in Canada offers insurance anymore. At least not that I'm aware of. It sucks because Best Buy charges $12.99 + taxes per month for the PEP. I have 2 PEP's from Best Buy. On one of my PEP's, I already got 3 brand new replacement phones. On my
2nd one I got one brand new replacement in which I chose a different model.
So both already paid itself.

Wow I can't imagine trying to sell that to customers. It's already hard enough trying to get people to get the 9.99 plan that replaces the phone with no deductible. Customers say "if I break the phone I'll buy a new one for 200, not realizing the phone is $650.

If you wanna be technical about it then she's my fiance... I'd expect her to pay otherwise for sure lol... I guess a broken 4.8" screen makes you a bit bitter lol...
Yea best buy Canada is another story they do not cover physical or water damage... Am gonna try calling visa today to see if there is any insurance that my purchase can be covered under... But after reading online about this am no longer hopeful for anything....
Next time buy the case before even thinking of buying the phone... And do not trust a girl with a delicate thing like your phone...

Hey guys,
Not sure if it belongs here or should be in another section, basically I want to share my experience with buying a tablet from best buy with the black tie program. My asus tf101 stopped charging so, I was like aright time to head to best buy to get it repaired. But, They said we don't repair tablets can only replace it with another. I was okay with that too, then they said You got to buy a new warranty since you are getting a new tablet, the old warranty has been fulfilled. Now that's made me angry so you only get 1 replacement out of a 2 year plan.... Epic fail or what? Sorry for my rant....
i would have gone through asus not best buy to get it replaced or fixed as the device itsself comes with a year warrenty

The list of stuff that best buy actually fixes is quite small.
Think about it. I could buy a tablet & buy the warranty. Then I could conceivably keep going to best buy to get a newer tablet say one a month. That is the reason their warranty replaces the item once which isn't just unique to tablets.

Yeah, but mine had a legit problem and I was basically forced to get a different tablet....It was either take their replacement or leave with a broken tablet....
I don't care much for Best Buy either but I think you would have found this would of happened with most other stores as well. Best Buy is only obligated to replace your item for 30 days then it goes to the manufacturer warranty which I believe only last a year. After that, your item breaks then your out of luck, normally. However, you purchased an extended warranty from Best Buy which means they will replace it (If they can) long after the manufacturer warranty ran out. In that sense they're taking the hit for the manufacturer's defect. The extended warranty did it's job and saved you from having to buy a new tablet. Also, it's natural they couldn't replace an over a year old tablet, the mobile world moves fast and three other transformers have come out since the TF101. I doubt many (if any) Best Buy stores still carry brand new TF101's. I'm at least assuming they let you select a tablet that's worth what your TF101 was at time of purchase?
What's the problem you are getting a new tablet on the warranty past the year the manufacturer gives you.If the new warranty is less than full price of the tablet ok they have to make some money on the deal.I personally never buy the extended warranty on tech items under $500 usual if it breaks it's in the first year.That's why BB makes a lot of money on this most don't break. They never fix anything just replace it cheaper for them.
I don't think that is a bad deal.
- with warranty You waked out with a new tablet.
OR
- Without warranty You go home broken.
It is definitely different than PC warranties, my neighbor has been through 3 HP laptops on the same warranty and they keep extending it. She is definitely getting her money's worth but I'm sure that HP lost money on that deal. If you are still upset make sure you let best buy know about, and and not just verbally. It maybe worth writing or calling and trying get upper level support involved. Never hurts to read the fine print too if you still have the original paperwork
