broken screen - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

If that's the case, you might want to set a price so people can gauge if it's worth it.
As an example, I would be interested in the car charger and extra cable. The Streak itself has little value to me broken and I can't use the dock as I run Cyanogenmod. But if the price was right (and if I could afford it), I would consider taking the whole thing.
I look forward to buy it as whole bro.. But tell the Pirce / pm dude..
$150 Canadian

Dell Streak 5 original box
Hello,
Sorry to hear of the demise of your DS5 ... happily mine is just 2 years old and good as new.
But I have an offer to sell it to a re-dealer outfit.
How much would you consider selling it for ?
rafynet, do you still have the broken phone? Is it carrier locked?
I have a Streak with a broken USB connector and is out of warranty. I'm contemplating switching the motherboards. Is your Streak's USB connector in good shape?
I still have it all but I would prefer to sell as package
The only thing wrong is that the screen is cracked. USB is fine.
I want to buy it from you for 100 dollars please let me know somthing

N7 Digitizers Anywhere?

First, i'm sorry if this is the wrong location, I just don't know where else to put this. It's not an accessory, I guess it could be Q&A, but i don't know.
Anyway, my trusted, loyal N7 took a dive last week and cracked its screen. I cannot for the life of me find anyone anywhere with the digitizer in stock! Does anyone know where anyone has these in stock? I need my N7 BAD!
Thanks
Try amazon?

Yeah, I've checked there, I've checked eBay, I've Googled it, I've contacted local repair locations, and no one can get one. I was hoping someone had some supplier or knows of anywhere that they are in stock.
Try alibaba.com

There are vendors on Alibaba that will sell you a digitizer for around $100 but you have to buy 5 of them.
However, considering the alternative is to pay $170+shipping to an ebay vendor and there are a number of owners looking for them that you could probably sell the extras to.
Wow!!! You have to buy 5!!!
That way you have to send it off for repairs.
What does the repair cost???

Actually, I have not heard from any vendors yet on there. The repair shop down the road from me said that he was going to start stocking them once he can find them, so I'l going to point him over to them and see if he has any luck.

You could always pick up a used/new N7 off of Craigslist for 120.00-170.00 (depending location and condition I suppose). Then sell your N7 as parts for 50.00 or so.
I picked up a brand new sealed 16gb 2 days ago for 150.00 (ad was for 170.00). I wasn't looking for another N7 but I couldn't pass it up when he agreed to the offer. I live in the Phoenix AZ area.
Just be patient and you could probably get a 8gb N7 used for less than 120.00.
Seems like the price of the N7 doesn't warrant replacement part availability for the majority of N7 owners out there.

What about this one?
search for "New Latest 100% Original For ASUS Google Nexus 7 Touch Screen digitizer free shipping" on aliexpress.com
sorry I can't post url as a new user...
He sells even one item. I just hesitate because I can't find any guide how to replace it. The last crucial step is missing how to remove the LCD from the broken digitizer / outer frame. Anyone did it? Or herd / read something about?

The LCD and digitizer ship as one assembly because the LCD is bonded to the digitizer. The hard part is separating the digitizer from the front frame.
You can post the URL. Just leave off the http://WWW part.
Edit - I just saw the item online. I would be hesitant to get this. You would have to un-bond your LCD panel and that is near impossible without cracking it.

At this part of the world (Hungary) Google officially not selling N7-s, so tech support is not available, I have to repair my broken N7 (dropped and screen cracked) myself.
I still in the reading / learning phase. An ifixit video shows step by step instruction to disassemble the N7, but one step is missing from it, how the LCD / digitizer assembly could be removed from the front frame. Then I could order a digitizer / LCD assembly like this:
m.aliexpress.com/item/652472351.html
The other thing holding me back, that on some of the pictures on aliexpress.com the LCD not the original HYDIS but an OEM widh CHUNGHWA labels on.
Do you know how the glass display fasten in the outer frame, and how one can remove a cracked digitizer from it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a bunch folks! I just ordered from aliexpress just 1 unit for 95 bucks. The free shilling might take a month, and but that is not a problem.

Please don't forget to report how you replaced your cracked screen.
Actually, I'll be taking it down to a shop that specializes in mobile phone/tablet repair. I don't trust myself with this fix, and they could not find the part from their suppliers. They were OK with me providing the part.

Not a bad experience at all with aliexpress. I ordered the digitizer on the 13th, it showed up at my door on the 24th. Considering I used the free shipping option, and it was shipping from China to the US, i have no complaints at all.
The digitizer was well packed, double boxed, and wrapped in miles of bubble-wrap, they included tools for the replacement as well. I dropped my Nexus off at the shop yesterday with the new digitizer, and i'm expecting it back Monday.

Thats good news. What I really wondering is how would the LCD display replaced to the new digitizer? According to other posts I read the LCD is bonded to the digitizer, and nearly impossible to separate them. This is why its adviced to replace the whole digitizer/LCD assembly. Would you ask it from the tech people at the repair shop? Thanks.

Yeah, I'm wondering about that myself. I have read the same things about the digitizer and LCD panel, but these guys said that they could do it.
We'll see Monday.

Well, looks like the shop I brought it to was mistaken...they could not replace just the digitizer. Crap!
Anyway, we worked something out together for them to buy from me the digitizer and I went out to the local Game Stop and snagged a new Nexus 7. Lesson learned...I also grabbed a gel case.

[Q] Refurbished or new?

HI GUYS,
My z1 had camera issues and the service center guys said they will give me a new device but these guys did not take the box, I am wondering that these guys are just bluffing, is there a way for me to find if the device I am getting is new?
I have got my Z1 replaced the same way. They didn't take the box, the charger or the headphones. They gave me a brand new one. It was covered in those plastic film foils, it came in. 534 firmware and, the most important thing, it had A NEW IMEI. So, stay cool. You will get a brand new device for sure.

What price did you pay for your Z1 ? was it online or from a shop. The camera issue you've had has happened to others as well.

Thanks for sharing your experience, hopefully the same procedures are followed back in India.
But do you or anyone actually know how to find if the phone is new or refurbished
Is it possible by the IMEI nukber or ahynsoftware?
I don't think so. Just check the phone's build quality and any traces of it being used before.
Although Sony's policy allows the replacement with a refurbished phone, the law in my country doesn't allow that. It clearly states that the repairs must be done using new materials or - if it comes to a replacement - the replacement device must be a brand new one.

It's a good deal, the online sources tend to beat the shops but then i'm a bit leery to buy something this expensive on line. Don't mind paying a little more premium to avoid such issues. Somebody else had ordered earlier from homeshop18 and had the same issue. Took about a month to get a replacement as the vendor was not in the same city.

IMEI is unique for every phone.
Chance is good you will get a another one as they do not service Z1 in India, it has to be shipped over to Sweden.
Whether new or refurbished is the question ? does it show any wear or tear, you will have to examine closely. Coming in a sealed box does not mean too much.

[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.

Does anyone here knows what cost does Service center charge for Replacing LCD+ Touch with Frame for galaxy s4
You can't cheap out and get an LCD display as they don't exist for the S4.
A typical Amoled + Touchscreen replacement would cost somewhere between $200 - $250 dollars (USD) from a reputable mobile phone repair shop.
