Ordering a replacement for a cracked screen?

I just cracked my phone and i haven't even had it for 2 weeks. The phone isn't even responding anymore only the left side of the screen is responsive. Has anybody else tried to send their cracked screen in and not get charged?

So you want to extort money from LG?
It costs around 140 to fix through LG repair centers...

Do the lg repair as it is cheaper than buying a screen kit... 140 vs 220 is a no brainer. Just make sure they actually do everything right. They didn't even replace my screen (granted it wasn't cracked) and they forgot to put the torx screws back in as well. I had to get a supervisor on the phone to fix the situation. They were at least able to fix the situation by sending me the two screws, but its been about a week on a 9 day wait for the stuff to arrive.

My screen cracked with a part of it not responding to the touch. which replacement sc

hello
my nexus 7's screen cracked after just 4 days of light use .. and now I have a triangular area in the top right of my screen that's not responding to the touch so that now I can't get to the right notification area unless rotate the screen or use a mouse . so I was thinking of replacing it.
since I live in Egypt and I had the tablet shipped to me from the US my only option is getting a screen shipped from ebay and installing it myself. so I was wondering what kind of screen should I get to get the whole touch screen working again.
i've been looking on ebay and was wondering if something like this might work?

I am not a very technical person so I am sure what the digitizer is.but I am guessing it's the part that broke to make the screen unresponsive.
so . should I get this one? if not what should I get?
I am looking for something cheap since the shipping cost is a lot.
thanks in advance

just upping the thread. I need the answer desperately

With screen + shipping + labour charge (to change screen).. Isn't it better if you get a new set and sell off the broken one on eBay? At least it's a new set and problem free.

a new replacement screen costs as much as a new Nexus 7. I cracked mine in January. The only way to use it is to connect a mouse which is pretty lame. Waiting for the newer Nexus 7.

since I live in Egypt. I can't really sell stuff on eBay. and my nexus 7 is the 3G version so I can't afford getting a new one.
I am really confused about the concept of a touch screen, a digitizer and an LCD. what is the differences between them and what do I really need?
if you can help me with eBay links I would much appreciate it.
thanks in advance

There is a guide here on how to change the screen (ok it seems I can't post the link because don't have enough posts. If you go to ifixit and search for nexus 7, there is a guide there)
The touchscreen part (digitizer) is the outer glass.
The LCD is bonded to the glass.
I've only ever seen the lcd and digitizer sold together. It is a lot easier to change them as one unit instead of trying to remove the broken digitizer from the lcd.
As people have said the price of the part outweighs the cost of fixing it, but if you really wanted to do it you should find all the information above.

I agree a second hand one though would be a lot more economical

Nexus 4 replace screen (versions?)

Whats up guys this is what happen to my girlfriend's nexus 4, she dropped it and crack the screen, I went to a repair shop and they told me that they can't replace it because her nexus 4 have a screen "type 2"?? And the one that they have is "type 1"... Is that possible or they just don't know what they are talking about? I was surprised cuz I though it was only 1 kind of nexus 4
Sorry if my grammar is not good, this isn't my language

Sounds quite strange, as far as I know there is only one type of screen. Plus I would suggest repairing your self instead of the shop. They tried to charge $200 at my local phone repair when I replaced the screen for $90 my self. The repair is very simple so don't worry if you are not big in technology

My phone (manuf. May/2013) broke, I had to replace the main board with an older model. It was from late 2012/early 2013 iirc. Fit perfectly, the connectors are identical, the only difference was double-sided tape holding in the camera on the newer one and that didn't affect screen replacement.
One thing worth mentioning: the digitizer pattern is highly visible on the newer phone, but invisible on the older one. So there might be two screen parts but I'll bet they both work.

[Q] Screen replacement issue...

So I dropped my phone over the weekend and only half of the screen is working. I took it into a local repair guy who comes highly recommended and has excellent reviews.
He tried replacing the entire screen component with two different replacements and there was white banding/lines down the screen both times. He thinks his replacement parts were defective and that the issue has nothing to do with the phone, as there are no white lines with the stock cracked screen.
I'm rooted on cloudy stock and wondering if that has anything at all to do with those lines? For some reason i feel like I remember hearing about this issue on the occasional custom ROM.
Hes getting more in tomorrow and will try again and let me know.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.

The digitizer might be broken. If that's the case, you're better off getting a replacement as digitizers can cost about $300-$500.

The digitizer and LCD assembly is around $100 on eBay...not $300.

Oh wow, it dropped significantly since the last time I checked. Regardless, that could be part of the issue. She you say you replaced the whole screen component, are you talking about the digitizer as well?

Nexus 4 unresponsive screen...

Hi,
I have a Nexus 4 16GB here and a Nexus 4 8 GB and my 16GB one isn't working, the screen turns on and it boots fine but the screen is completely unresponsive to touch...
I have tried swapping the logic boards over and the 16GB one doesn't work in the other phone either, which rules out the screen/digitizer but points towards the logic board...
I can't even click on anything in TWRP... Anyone got any ideas or advice?

Bump, could really do with some help on this...

Sounds like display driver on the logic board is done.

I don't know, but when it happened to my other phone, replacing the logic board was the route I took.

BUmp

I'm afraid nothing can be done on that borked mobo. At least the digitiser is fine!

Shame it's a knockoff digitizer, it was a phone purchased as "brand new" which it clearly wasn't, from eBay.
Lasted a matter of a day before giving up...
I got a full refund after enough hastle so now I'm left with this bit of junk I my room.
Got a spare battery and front/back if I damage my legit 8gb one.
Should I remove the battery from the poop phone? (Does that stop them from becoming dead?)

Bump

I am also suffering from same problem, but in my phone 1/5 Lower part of screen is not receiving any touch, i want to ask something that shall i need to change the digitizer only or digitizer+screen
