First, i'm sorry if this is the wrong location, I just don't know where else to put this. It's not an accessory, I guess it could be Q&A, but i don't know.
Anyway, my trusted, loyal N7 took a dive last week and cracked its screen. I cannot for the life of me find anyone anywhere with the digitizer in stock! Does anyone know where anyone has these in stock? I need my N7 BAD!
Thanks

Yeah, I've checked there, I've checked eBay, I've Googled it, I've contacted local repair locations, and no one can get one. I was hoping someone had some supplier or knows of anywhere that they are in stock.
Try alibaba.com

There are vendors on Alibaba that will sell you a digitizer for around $100 but you have to buy 5 of them.
However, considering the alternative is to pay $170+shipping to an ebay vendor and there are a number of owners looking for them that you could probably sell the extras to.
Wow!!! You have to buy 5!!!
That way you have to send it off for repairs.
What does the repair cost???

Actually, I have not heard from any vendors yet on there. The repair shop down the road from me said that he was going to start stocking them once he can find them, so I'l going to point him over to them and see if he has any luck.

You could always pick up a used/new N7 off of Craigslist for 120.00-170.00 (depending location and condition I suppose). Then sell your N7 as parts for 50.00 or so.
I picked up a brand new sealed 16gb 2 days ago for 150.00 (ad was for 170.00). I wasn't looking for another N7 but I couldn't pass it up when he agreed to the offer. I live in the Phoenix AZ area.
Just be patient and you could probably get a 8gb N7 used for less than 120.00.
Seems like the price of the N7 doesn't warrant replacement part availability for the majority of N7 owners out there.

What about this one?
search for "New Latest 100% Original For ASUS Google Nexus 7 Touch Screen digitizer free shipping" on aliexpress.com
sorry I can't post url as a new user...
He sells even one item. I just hesitate because I can't find any guide how to replace it. The last crucial step is missing how to remove the LCD from the broken digitizer / outer frame. Anyone did it? Or herd / read something about?

The LCD and digitizer ship as one assembly because the LCD is bonded to the digitizer. The hard part is separating the digitizer from the front frame.
You can post the URL. Just leave off the http://WWW part.
Edit - I just saw the item online. I would be hesitant to get this. You would have to un-bond your LCD panel and that is near impossible without cracking it.

At this part of the world (Hungary) Google officially not selling N7-s, so tech support is not available, I have to repair my broken N7 (dropped and screen cracked) myself.
I still in the reading / learning phase. An ifixit video shows step by step instruction to disassemble the N7, but one step is missing from it, how the LCD / digitizer assembly could be removed from the front frame. Then I could order a digitizer / LCD assembly like this:
m.aliexpress.com/item/652472351.html
The other thing holding me back, that on some of the pictures on aliexpress.com the LCD not the original HYDIS but an OEM widh CHUNGHWA labels on.
Do you know how the glass display fasten in the outer frame, and how one can remove a cracked digitizer from it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a bunch folks! I just ordered from aliexpress just 1 unit for 95 bucks. The free shilling might take a month, and but that is not a problem.

Please don't forget to report how you replaced your cracked screen.
Actually, I'll be taking it down to a shop that specializes in mobile phone/tablet repair. I don't trust myself with this fix, and they could not find the part from their suppliers. They were OK with me providing the part.

Not a bad experience at all with aliexpress. I ordered the digitizer on the 13th, it showed up at my door on the 24th. Considering I used the free shipping option, and it was shipping from China to the US, i have no complaints at all.
The digitizer was well packed, double boxed, and wrapped in miles of bubble-wrap, they included tools for the replacement as well. I dropped my Nexus off at the shop yesterday with the new digitizer, and i'm expecting it back Monday.

Thats good news. What I really wondering is how would the LCD display replaced to the new digitizer? According to other posts I read the LCD is bonded to the digitizer, and nearly impossible to separate them. This is why its adviced to replace the whole digitizer/LCD assembly. Would you ask it from the tech people at the repair shop? Thanks.

Yeah, I'm wondering about that myself. I have read the same things about the digitizer and LCD panel, but these guys said that they could do it.
We'll see Monday.

Remember to update us, please :good:
Well, looks like the shop I brought it to was mistaken...they could not replace just the digitizer. Crap!
Anyway, we worked something out together for them to buy from me the digitizer and I went out to the local Game Stop and snagged a new Nexus 7. Lesson learned...I also grabbed a gel case.

Hello,
In my infinite lack of co-ordination, I manage to drop my XDA and have banjoed the LCD on it.
Has anyone got a spare LCD screen for sale or know where I can get one?
Thanks
Johnny, several xda are for sale on ebay for £150, look at the price of an lcd and you might wish to take that route instead. You could recoup some money by selling the banjaxed xda on there too, it will work out cheaper. If your is a 64 meg version you could even transplant the motherboard which is a much easier task and sell the remains as an xda with knackered screen.

My digitizer cracked... never letting my girlfriend borrow my phones again. I was wondering if anyone here in the forum have purchased a digitizer for the X10...
I see that eBay is selling them for ~$78 CAD. I though i would ask you guys first in case you know of a better deal.
Thanks,
the only other digitizers are like $66-$130 on e-bay,
just trying to find another dealer from china to get me some white screens and black ones. $50 + shipping
anyone interested?
i ask because he only deals in bulk
Maybe dealextreme
has it?

I bought a digitizer for my HD2 from eBay that was listed as "New". I specifically bought it because every other digitizer listed for $20-something is "Used". Well, I get it only to see that it is USED, has used foam tape on it and the front has several light scratches with one particularly deep one right in the middle. Seller assures me it's brand new (yeah, right), and that damage must have been caused in shipping. Uh, there was no damage to the protective plastic at all and how is a glass screen going to get scratched by a plastic baggie and bubble-wrap?
I now don't trust eBay sellers that claim their digitizers are new that they are really new. Does anyone have experience with a seller who sells T-Mobile variant digitizers that are definitely brand new and no scratches? Cheap price definitely preferred!
Any source for that thick-ish foam double-sided tape for that matter? The 3M adhesives for iPhones and such is much, much thinner.
Used digitized work fine, as long as the seller has OEM somewhere in the listing. Make sure it is sold from US too, because Chinese sellers sometimes sell fake digitized that are "new".
Btw, the thin double sided 3m tapes work fine, but its a long shot from the original adhesive.. it works and I havent had any problems yet
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Thanks, but the problem with used digitizers is they have scratches so I'd rather get a brand new one.
Does lack of responses mean all the TMOUS digitizers out there are likely to be used?
Go on eBay and look for the seller "dudu Sales". We get all of ours from them and haven't had a dud yet. Not to mention they package tools and tape, all for under 35$

hi all
my daughter has shattered her lcd screen on her s 4.
does anyone know a good place to get it replaced I live in the Manchester area.
all the quotes im getting are around the £150 mark does this seem about right.
Have you contacted Samsung directly and asked them how much they will charge? £150 seems about right for glass and LCD replacement if done professionally.
repair

I think to find a Samsung brand service points because they are relatively cheap to replace the current flagship phone with LCD display for a guarantee. In my country at least, is so.
They are round about that price on eBay.Id try carphone warehouse so you can get a genuine screen.

The carphone warehouse.They can be authorised Samsung repairers, or Samsung HQ is down Newcastle way.
But he could send it to Hungary if they are "cheap" as you say.

It's good, but I think not everyone can replace this
My girlfriend has dropped her S4 and the screen cracked. Having watched a screen repair video for the S4 I think I can do the repair myself but it seems that finding a genuine screen at a reasonable price won't be easy. Has anyone got any recommendations?
Good question! I need to replace the LCD on my brother's S4, after he went swimming in a lake with it. Bump
Just look at ebay. There are plenty of them. Just order one from china or hongkong if you want the cheapest. Every screen that's for sale comes from there originally anyway.

On eBay they're mostly 3rd party screens even when they claim to be genuine. Too risky.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's only the digitizer. It would be cheaper to repair but more fiddly.
