I know it's probably going to be £50 badly spent but i just bought a samsung nx1100 smart camera and got the galaxy tab 2 7" free, the screen is pretty crappy compared to my broken nexus so I have bought a screen and digitizer from ebay..
Any tips/do's/dont's i should know about when replacing the screen or is it straight forward due to it being both parts?
Cheers guys/girls

So I went to bed after a crazy party and woke up with broken LCD. I have taken pretty good care of the phone and it cost me like $500 US so that sucks. Does anyone know a semi easy way that is at all cost efficient? Thanks in advance!
what part of the screen is broken?
if its the touch screen that doesnt work you can get a replacement off ebay relatively cheap
if its the lcd then its a lot more expensive - somewhere around $120USD although i saw one guy selling a replacement lcd for $70USD
there are also a few sites that you can send the phone in and they do the repairs and send it back within a week - but that costs around $200 or more
i cracked my screen and found an mda on craigslist for $225 barely used...now i have 2 mda's, one for daytime soberness and the cracked one for night intoxication
Hello guys im new to the forum i've just registered
Today i've dropped my Google Nexus 7 from maybe 40 santimeters .My tablet fell on one of its edges ,my screen was cracked not pretty bad
i can use it but actually the bottom side of the screen is cracked major and my screen isnt working around the crack.
So when i saw how much money i need to give for the digitizer with LCD display i was shocked.I cant believe how stupid this is if u crack the digitizer u need to buy whole new screen.Well i think to buy digitizer from tablet 10.1 inc and to cut off the the glass equals to the shape of my Nexus and to use the cables from my cracked digitizer to connect the new one.
Do you think this is possible or to sell it for parts ?
Sry for my bad English its not my native but i hope you help me
The digitiser for a 10" tablet is bigger than a 7" screen so you can't cut one down to fit. Look on ebay to see prices for broken Nexus 7's
You could check places like eBay or Craigslist for a cheap Nexus 7 8GB version. So you can remove the screen from it and place it on yours. If that is out of the question cause of the price it will cost.
You could easily buy a OTG cable and use a mouse on your nexus 7. You can pickup one on Amazon or Ebay for couple dollars. As long you can see what you are clicking on.

So i was out in the garden and i dropped my Nexus!
The glass for the digitizer has cracked but the screen is ok and i can still use the tablet. It responds to my touch and the screen still looks ok so its just the outside glass that is cracked. I have tried to find somewhere to source a new digitizer from so i could fix the tablet myself, but i am coming up short all the time. I can find how to do open up the tablet and how to swap a new digitizer etc but no place to buy a digitizer.
Does anyone out there have any experience of buying a new digitizer and if so where and how much money is it?
I believe it is about $270 to have it fixed by samsung in the states, i have a friend i could send it to but im based in Ireland so if someone in the UK has any advice that would be great also!
Thanks for your help!
Seems to be extremely rare. Maybe they'll show up when the Note 10.1 2014 comes out?

yea it looks like due to the rarity that you must send your device to samsung and let them handle it.
Its worth it so i guess il pay the $270
Thanks
Cracked my digitizer too, but it's in the corner and is not visible without looking at a real oblique angle. As it's just as accurate (tested with Quill and also Sketchbook Pro with narrow stylus), I'm not going to worry about it.
Wonder how many get broken and the owner never knows?
Hi, I have a little crack in my N4 digitizer and only the half screen is working. I think of buying a new replacement and I want to know your opinion on the cheap chineese ones. Are they good or is it just ****. I don't have so much money and I'm wondering of buying this one

Hello all. I'm almost going to buy this with a cracked screen. I went through youtube and saw videos where people ruin the lcd while trying to fix the glass only repair. Is it always this hard? Is there a sure way to replace the glass only? Or one would need to replace the whole lcd (which is really expensive)
Thank you

Better to just replace the whole thing I just got mine replaced almost paid about 200 dollars the screen and the lcd is glued together I asked my cell phone repair man and he should me the screen and why it usually doesn't work out its because they are literally glued very very closely together trust it's not worth just getting the screen replaced because u will most likely have touchscreen issues yellowing issues etc ...... If u don't plan on upgrading your phone anytime soon I would say go for it I just did it because I plan on using my note 4 a little longer we have a lot of good development and marshmallow is near mate soon. ...
Yeah, you are better off replacing the entire front panel of the Note 4 or any Samsung flagship device. As the screen and display on Samsung flagships are all glued to together so replacing just the screen is a very hard job.
