how much should it cost to replace a screen?

I managed to shatter the screen on my nexus 7, what am i looking at paying to replace the screen, also are there any good sites to buy the replacement digitizer(or whole screen replacement)

Ebay
I found a nexus 7 on ebay that didn't power on (Actually got it to power on) for $40. You may pay a little more or even less but it's definitely cheaper than buying a new one.It may take a little time but for me I got more time than money

around 65$ in ebay from china sellers - (glass + digitizer + tools free)

broken screen

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.

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

[Q] UK S4 owners - Where can I buy a genuine replacement touchscreen & digitizer?

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.

[Q] Should i take the leap?

Hi guys,i just drop my nexus 4 and the digitizer is broken.i am considering since its been already more than a year that i have it ,i should upgrade to the LG G3.Any advise please?

You can get a new screen assembly for $45, or for $60, the screen assembly already installed in a new bezel. It's relatively easy to do this repair. Digitizers alone are much less expensive, but far more difficult and requires some special tools/materials (glue), that it's a better choice to just get a new assembly.
For $60 you can have practically a new Nexus 4 (assuming you haven't screwed up the back part). I'm not saying you shouldn't get a G3 - it's a great phone, but if you don't need a new phone, you can save a lot of money.

Note 4 Screen Replacement, FML

hi. i had an issue with 2 weeks old Note 4 where it would show glitched out screen on half side and then it would die.
i gave it for repairs but they saying its dead scree, i.e, the LCD is dead.

Why don't you just send it back to the store you got it from and get the replacement for free? Can't be that expensive (super amoleds usually go for around $250). No need to pay taxes and other import tariffs when sending a device in for repairs.
