Hi this isn't a software issue. But just a question
I recently broke my i337 lcd and the screen broke inside. At first half the screen was lit but than it went completely dark. So i sent it to samsung and they said the price to fi it was "$161.84". I cant pay that much. I might as well get a moto G 2nd gen, least it has an unlocked bootloader lol. But anyways does anyone know where i can get the cheapest lcd replacement. Or anyone here has a spare used one that works for me to buy off of. Idc as long as it works. Ebays a bit expensive as well.

Your Galaxy S4 does not use an LCD screen, it uses an OLED or 'AMOLED' screen. These are expensive to manufacture. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is.

I've cracked my screen
Went go-karting today and got thrown around so much in the kart that the screen cracked.
So, what's the best way about getting it repaired?
Can I just send it straight back to HTC UK and get the screen replaced under warranty? My phone is rooted, but not unlocked.
I have not returned a phone yet, but as many have stated, "it does not void your warranty to root, only to unlock the bootloader" so in theory you should just be able to send it in.
.....except that warranty won't cover a cracked screen.. I think the going rate was $280?
are you insured through assurion?
You broke it, you buy it.

I dropped my N1 on the floor in my house (stone floors) two weeks ago and cracked the glass screen.. picked up a new glass screen on ebay for $38 shipped and spent about two hours replacing it myself.. turned out perfect.. just be very patient and take your time during the replacement process.
This is the damage, I don't think the glass is broken so is it just the LCD screen beneath that I'll need to replace?

No, it's the digitizer/screen. The display would be a lot more expensive to replace.
Hi mate.. if the amoled still works you are fine yiu would just need a new digitalizer, about £20 from ebay and fix it youself.. if the amolded wkrks you need a new lcd, £45 from ebay.. i nroke my amoled, fixed it and now works.. good luck!!

If that's the case, then why when I power it on does nothing appear?
It vibrates when booting so I know its working?
when i dropped my nexus one, the amoled broke, not the outer screen/digitizer. i believe the cost for a new amoled was around $85 plus shipping and it would also cost your warranty. therefore, i sent it back in for repair and it cost $115 total, warranty still intact. btw, i opted for a refurb unit instead of waiting for them to return my damaged unit.
good luck, you have to decide if its worth voiding your warranty to fix it yourself.

Sorry I missed that part.. Yeah if it's not showing anything the display has problems, although I find it odd it would break but not the digitizer.

It is gonna be high! You wille get 3 options..1) fix the phone for a very high price 2) get the phone and pay around $40 for the labour and delivery 3) dispose of the phone for free by htc.. so pretty much re use the parts for another phone..
Not a sencible choice calling htc in my opinion

Having searched the internets I've found reports of people having it fixed by HTC UK for between £60 - £100
Also, I was told if I didn't want them to carry out the work there would be a £20 fee to return the phone to cover postage and the engineers time.
I think you're estimates are way off, however, I'm going to wait until I get my quote or I'll be eating my words...

I'm impressed t0ph0id, I accidently got a slight scratch on my week old N1, it's small but I know it's there and I'm really upset about it.
You have properly screwed the screen and you seem ok with it
Wish I could be as relaxed as that haha.
Hey buddy i had the same issue with my desire.. cracked in a similar way, HTC quoted me £238 for screen, housing, new logic board & labour.. even asked them just to replaced the screen cos i did see anything wrong with the housing but they said they couldn't do it cos motherboard had been bent..
so just got a replacement lcd from ebay at £45, took 45mins to fit the new screen everything working correctly
oh and the logic board wasn't bent! cheeky HTC

I've already spoken my mobile insurance and they repair/replace accidental damage so I know I can go through them if it's going to cost too much.
They'll repair, replace, give an alternative if they don't have the model or give a cash equivalent.
Yep haha, seems hard when yoyr trying to take it apart and not brake any bits off, but now.. soo proud of myself! Never thoughed I would ever be in my phone, sick thought, jehe

So today a fan fell over onto my dresser where my Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Google IO was charging and cracked the lower right hand side of the screen. Has anyone else had their screen crack and fixed it or talked to Samsung about it? It seems to still be working, but still, the screen is cracked.
And this happens today, while my case is set to be delivered tomorrow. Damn it.
Try to blame it on this

Hi all
My galaxy Tab 10.1v screen cracked I need to have this repaired i contacted Samsungand they refered me back to the shop I bought it in I but it at a departure lounge. Guys I need this fixed I need to DHL it to someone and i am ready to cover all costs please guys advice me on way forward.
Try this http://www.missionrepair.com/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10_1_s/688.htm
Could be expensive though as replacing the 7" GTab screen costs $180 (yeah I know.. might as well buy a new one or do it yourself). Don't see any digitizer part on ebay yet.

If you purchased it using a credit card many cards will cover accidental damage for 90 days. Check with your credit card company as there are limitations.

How much did they charge you for the screen? Did you replace it yourself? I broke mine today and am looking for a OEM replacement.
Hi,
I have a NC that my youngest one dropped on the floor and put a hairline crack across the screen. Everything works still, except the top half of the screen doesn't respond to touch inputs. I can get around most everything in the menus by a combination of rotating to get to the button i need, but playing any games or browsing is impossible.
Is there any way to replace the NC screen? I've looked online and most everyone has recommended either just buying a refurbished one as a full replacement, or upgrading to something new. I've also seen a couple companies offering screen replacement service but at $110 it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to do that when I can get a refurb for around that price.
So are there any other options? Could I get a parts one off ebay and swap screens? I know there are videos of disassembly out there.
If this was yours, what would you do?
I'll upload pics of the screen here in a little bit if that will help.
Thank you

If your nook is already out of warranty or still in warranty you can trade in your broken nook color for a new one just add $80-100 (I forgot the exact price). Benefits: comes with a new 1 year warranty and it' s new not a refurb :good:
Depending on when yours was made, this might work for you.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nook-Color-...ltDomain_0&hash=item2574093f33#ht_1857wt_1397
It's a replacement digitizer and LCD. Keep in mind that those seem pretty rare.

It says that its for anything made after Nov 2010. Which is when the NC was released. So it should cover all of them. I think you may have brought my toy back to life. Thank you!

So I bought my girlfriend a N7, she had it for almost a month before her dog decided to chew on it. It had a case on it but the screen got a small hairline crack and so the digitizer is toast. She was heart broken so I ended up splitting the cost of a new 16gb N7 with her, and she's sending me her old one.
So what should I do with it? I have $125 into it, maybe I can find a N7 with bad hardware and swap screens? Or wait to find a replacement screen for cheap enough and fix it? Use it with a mouse and keyboard? Sell it? She kept it in good condition so the only cosmetic issue from the cracked screen is a teeny scratch on the plastic bezel.
Maybe sell it for parts?
If you do I call dibs on the speaker since I just blew mine the other day :/
Sorry I'm not more help tho

Absolutely. Everyone who drives a car over their Nexus really deserves a new one at no cost to them.
Probably a new car too. Just in case the tablet damaged the tyres.

The replacement screens on that site are used, which I guess is good because they'll be the same as from Asus but $129, sheesh. I think I'll just wait for someone to fry their N7 or brick it and buy theirs for parts. Maybe I'll just wait for the cost of the screen to come down, it's a 16gb model so if I could find one for less then a $100 it would be worth it. I already have one so I'll probably end up giving it to my sister once it's working.
would you sell it? if so what for? There are a few of us around that are working on trying to get an OTG setup internal that might be able to put it to use.
Yesterday my Spigen case broke, the little plastic part that surrounds the rest of the case/phone. Of course later that day I dropped my phone and it must have hit right where it was partly exposed, breaking the screen and digitizer.
The phone still boots up and works fine, I just can't get the screen to turn on. I'm actually not sure what exactly is broken, if the screen AND digitizer are busted or just the screen so that it doesn't turn on.
I guess I need to get a screen+digitizer from ebay and try my luck and replacing. I was going to go out today and pay full price for an S5 or LG G3, but now that I'm reading so much about all these new 805 Snapdragon based phones possibly coming, I think I'd rather just wait.
My options are use my old Droid X2, fix the S4 and wait, or just buy a new phone and fix the S4 whenever I feel like it.
On that subject, how do I go about getting my X2 back on as my primary phone with Verizon? I guess I can try to get in a chat with them.
If you have lost display as well, then the digitizer is shot. So you've got to replace the whole unit instead of just the glass. Costly thing, that. I've got an S2 with that issue that isn't with fixing, as it'll still cost around AUD$200 to get a new one. Ideally, I'd get a phone that died from other issues and use it's screen, but that's effort.
I'd probably recommend holding off and getting a new handset. Although the repair may still be worth doing if the parts are cheaper where you are.
@berfles
AMOLED panel is broken, you can only buy the whole part already assembled (glass+digitizer+panel+bezel+home key/touch keys' leds). Here in Italy (on eBay) costs about 120€ original, and is very very simple to change, you can also look on iFixit guide
you can change it, there are many digitizers to buy on ebay/aliexpress etc

Thanks, I've decided to just buy an S5 or G3, no way I'm spending $180 for a screen/digitizer when I can just buy a new phone for less than $100.
