My mother's LG Leon (MetroPCS) dropped the same day I gave her my Oppo Find 7A as a mother's day gift, and the glass is now shattered. I have seen some replacement parts online and many are just the glass alone instead of the entire LCD + glass. Is the digitizer built in on the LCD as Samsung likes to do, or is it located on the glass we touch, as LG has traditionally done?
The glass would be a cheaper alternative as I have no intentions on investing over $10 in it since it had only cost her $30 new.
Thanks in advanced for the input.

The LCD cracked after I dropped it only 18 inched onto a padded lineolium floor. This is the first LCD I have ever cracked and I have dropped plenty. There are no marks of any kind on the case.
Seems the JASJAR is especially fragile.
Where can I buy a new LCD screen?
I can repair it myself.
Thanks
Tim

Hello guys
Two days ago I dropped my G2. I assumed that since it was Gorilla Glass it would be fine, and since it fell from just 3 ft high it would be fine. I was wrong. The digitizer cracked from the bottom to the top around the speaker. The LCD looks fine, but the Digitizer doesn't respond to touches
Does anyone know if I can replace only the Digitizer? I've read somewhere that the digitizer and the Screen are united by OCA glue, but I've also seen brand new G2 digitizers for sale on Ebay without the LCD. I was wondering if its possible to heat the broken Digitizer enough so that the LCD can be removed and the replacement Digitizer can be placed on top but with 3m tape.
The phone is brand new and I can't send it to LG for repairs since I'm at PR, so I would rely on the answers you guys give and the guy from the phone repair store to do the whole procedure for me
Thanks in advance!

It may be possible but will require professional tools. Better and easier way is replace lcd with frame. You can also replace lcd/digitizer module to your frame. LG phones are easy to disassembly.
So to sum up, i dropped my lg g2, and i intend to buy a replacement. The thing is, the lcd is fine and only the glass is cracked.
So while looking around for a replacement i saw that some people were offering just the glass and digitizer, no lcd. It appears to be just what i need. however all of the things i have seen indicate the lcd is attached to the glass and digitizer. and costs about £50 more.
So i'm wondering if i do indeed need to buy the lcd+glass and digitizer. or can i save money and get the glass+digitizer only?
thanks
Hi,
So I managed to shatter my front LCD and just got it fixed.
Good news, I had signed up for Samsung Concierge, so I had to pay up 50% of off-warranty repairs.
Bad news, after 50% discount it still cost me SGD 190$.
So, the tech consultant claimed that the screen itself can't be replaced and they replaced the entire front portion i.e. the LCD + Digitizer + Bezel + buttons + USB port.
So - If you are buying this phone, get some additional cover, or insurance.
I still haven't found a suitable tempered glass protector for the edge.
sad to hear that. i got a leather flip case
on ebay are several glass protectors. orderd mine today from seller cyber-2011. Hope it helps
Good to know. Its costly. Before the S7E my wife had the s6e and she cracked her screen nasty and was told couldnt be fixed and more than likely if i filed an insurance claim we would pay 150 or so for a refurbished phone.
So i think even if u got insurance ur may get a refurbished device if replaced. Kinda sicks but beats buying a brand new phone at full price.
A glass protector won't do miracles against drop protection. You need a proper case for that like uag for example.
I dropped my phone on concrete yesterday, and front glass broke
Display is intact and works well.
Asked here in few shops and guys told me display replacement will cost me 130€.
Is it possible to replace only front glass on mi 9t? not the whole display.

It is possible but you need an extra profession to remove the glass without breaking the screen
its possible, you just need a service where they repair samsung - liquid nitrogen separates amoled quickly, the rest is just gluing glass. I had it in S7 edge 3 years ago for about 90 euro - same day repair
ok, now I see screen costs only 70 euro on most popular Chinese website
Dropped it again last week on the concrete, this time display died.
Paid display replacement around 120€.
I never had so fragile phone till MI 9T.
Now I bought Ringke case, 360 cases, and few more...
Please guys, protect your display, almost cried when i paid 120€
