How much does it cost to repair a broken screen?

Well the title says it all. I broke the screen of my p3600 and i damaged the case also. Does someone have any idea how much it will cost to repair my p3600?

I know that with laptops, the screen can run up to the same amounth as the laptop... lol... Not sure with ppc's though.

Ebay object number 120124498971 [ GBP 65.99 ] LCD for HTC P3600 P3300, SPV M700 M650, XDA Orbit S300+

Well the thing is i have to replace screen my self. Is there a tutorial on how to disassemble the phone?

Then this thread might be of some help (some instructions can be found), but maybe you can search a little further...

kkelis did you have any joy changing your screen? I've done the same got a crack in the screen almost corner to corner so its knackered, just wondered if you had any success before I get the screwdrivers out.

Thanks you very very very very much!!
I have just broken my Trinity's Screen this weekend. However I don't know if its only the touchpad or if the LCD is also damaged. How can I figure this out??
I think I order the touchpad only first and if not ok will also order the LCD
Thanks a lot and kind regards

was about to order one from here until your link came through, all being well your guys are about half the cost. thanks again..

Post a photo and I will tell you. But in general if you see black spots on the screen then the LCD is broken. On the other hand the new one is so cheap that I would advice you to buy the whole package and not just the digitizer because it is easier to repair.

Spares for the Athena, anywhere?

Can anyone lead me to where to find a spare enclosure (not an external case).
The one that holds the whole thing together. Ok I need some help here to find the right term
My Athena fallen and I now got a bent Athena. An art piece I'm sure, but rather have it back to its shape, you know?!
So does anyone know where to find spares?

why dont you take a picture so we could see what exactly you need

Will need to find a mirror as it is the only camera I have
Anyhow I just find what it is. Is the SHELL. The black aluminum shell.
Is anywhere to be found it as a spare?
Thank you

Thank you.
I ordered the spare casing. Will post how it goes....

Sorted!!
I have received the casing, followed instructions and I now have a bright new Athena
The only bad thing is that the camera button and the volume sliders are missing from the replacing casing. and the camera button is a nightmare to take it over from the old one.
If anyone needs assistance with replacing the casing, just PM and I'll do my best to help.

So which did you get in the end, the brando one?
I'm contemplating doing mine at some point, it's pretty scarred.

I did go for the brando and it took about a week to receive it in Scotland.
The instructions are quite easy to follow, but the tools are a must, specially the flat tool to push the parts open. I got mine here when I repaired my powerMAC a few weeks ago.

does someone know where to get a new digitizer? my one is broken (the LCD itself is still fine) and I ordered this one. But they refunded me my money and said they are out of stock
Any suggestions?

Try the brando website.
It looks like they have a lot of spare parts...
If you can't find it, try to contact them, I got a few parts not listed this way.
Good luck

You can try here
http://www.gpsmidlands.co.uk/index.php?category=Pda Digitisers
but this is £90 of her majesty money
the one in your ebay link for £19 is unbelievable, are they for real?
Regards

they said they are out of stock but they promised to contact me if they get some "digitizer-only"
currently they only have full LCD screens for £150
as far as I can see the dealer seems to be realiable...

X10 OEM housing

Can someone tell me whether or not this is OEM housing for the x10? i know it say OEM on it.. but you know.. lots of these china/hk seller claims it's OEM but it's really not ~ some stupid b**** ran into me today and sent my phone flying ~~ dented in the corner luckily my screen is not scratched ~ and it happened 2 days before my case arrives T_T
http://cgi.ebay.ca/OEM-Full-Housing...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item439ebeee70

It looks legit but mostly they are not real oem. If u need a replacement housing I would give it a try.

Well the name is spelled wrong in the listing. I mean if they cant get the spelling of the name right then I don't know lol..Small minor thing but hey everybody else can spell sony ericsson right why cant they lol

It looks good to me.. can't see any flaws....
(regarding the "Ericssion" spelling.. The i is next to the o on your keyboard.. so probably just sausage fingers!).

oh well i took the plunge and paid for it ~ i can't stand my phone flawed 50bux ~ blah

Q: Is this official OEM housing from Sony Ericsson? 30-Apr-10
A: Yes. Sony China OEM
Q: Hi dear. Im looking for the Original white housing for my white x10. This one pretty look the original but it has some differences. Like in the back and front doesn't have XPERIA tittle. If later you found the original one please let me know. Thank you 27-Apr-10
A: Hi, This is a OEM housing. And very cloesd to original. But the XPERIA need to stick on back cover. I could offer. Thanks

ya i saw that too.. well the phone is made in china after all so him saying SE china oem doesn't surprise me too much. the part i didn't understand was it say missing Sony Ericsson Xperia working i don't see it. coz if he's talking about the one on the screen.. then i think it comes with the digitizer not the case. i'll let you guys know when i get it and see whether it's oem or knockoff

Tell ya one thing for free!! The thought of changing the housing is one thing but removing the glass touch screen from it's original housing will take some very careful disassembly. It's very thin.. it's glass and it's stuck down with glue or strong tape. Flex it a little and you might be hunting for more than just the housing.

Dont Buy it.
Hey mate sorry to hear about your phone. When things look too good to be true it normally is. Its way too soon to have real housings for sale like this. Experience tells me that you will probably pay your money and never receive anything.
Just put ur x10 in your new protective case and try not to think of the damage underneath.

Looking at the sellers feedback you'll receive the case. However only time will tell if it is a real OEM one. I'm looking for a white case too (actually only the back part of the case) as I'm quite sure the glossy white housing will scratch pretty bad (looking at all those white iPhones out there).

OOHHH reallyy?? have you the jack audio piece for me? I really need it, its a black piece which can be detached easily if you remove the top cover (at top of the battery) there are some guide here which explain how to take out the cover.
Hope you can do that for me...

this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742642
on the second picture, at the top, there are two screws (red circle) + one little in the middle (not surronded). If you remove those 3 screws, then you can remove the plastic cover and inside there is the speaker and the jack audio (what I need) piece with delicate pins. but if you think its more convenient to sent the whole phone thats ok too

I live in Italy .
I only need the little gps cable that connects the motherboard to the gps antenna

You have to belive there are really great improvements in signal stability and reception,i can say about 70%.I ve read in a italian forum that someone asked acer about this mod,and after some mails someone at the acer assistance asked their engineers to test this mod;they confirmed the improvement,and even that this mod maybe doesn t void the warranty,because you have not to open the phone.Finally they said they would report about this to acer Europe to have final confirmation.After this mail no new reply.Maybe Acer won t admit fault

well netnerd , believe me or not, but gps signal after mod DOES indeed improve a lot. Anyway Arto's not referring to that mod guide.
Arto, if I find I can't fix my problem , I will be happy to give you my device.
Netnerd, if you don't use it, you could send-sell the device to me or Arto, after that we could share the pieces needed. Unfortunately I live in Europe.

i removed all the screws, i still can not open it to get the parts you guys needed. want the whole phone? i only charging shipping cost (13.50 USD to italy). phone comes with battery!
if you or arto want to pay the shipping cost, email me!

well....that would be AWESOME !!
The only thing's that Italy has some restrictions about vat, well anyway the tax' calculated only on the assured price so I should be ok.
Well, After that I could send the piece to Arto .
Well Netnerd....that would be really awesome, thanks.

Netnerd, have you got any news?

Samsung Galaxy S4 is bended.

Hello , my s4 bended. And i want to ask you if i replace the screen will it function normally , even it's bended?
And the volume down button is kinda inside. ;s

i guess no one can tell as there could be more or less damages inside. if you can, test with another s4's screen before buying a new one..

Okay , thank you for your opinion.

You'll need to purchase not just a screen but a midframe as well, given the bend in the phone. Honestly, unless you can get the parts for cheap I wouldn't repair this and would replace the S4 with something new.

look at this:

I would sell it for parts, especially if it isn't your primary phone. It's simply not worth it to repair, as you'll be spending about 140USD just on the screen and midframe combination. There are used devices on Swappa going for about that amount that work, so....
