I have a cracked screen on my s7 edge and need it replaced, the touch panel and lcd screen is fine just the glass needs replacing. Been calling alot of places and the prices range alot. A couple places have a real good price but said the screen is a fake not genuine but they have good reviews from the public. The genuine parts are soooooooo expensive but I cant trust them because they are local mobile shops not a samsung shop so do I take the gamble or not on them?
I cant take it to samsung because I bought my phone overseas and didnt know stupid samsung have a policy only repair from the country of original you bought it, so so dumb I was willing to pay them anyway to fix it whats the difference take the money so have to resort to local mom and pop shops in my city. So just wanted to know if anyone has replaced screens with fakes and if any issues, as long as the touch works just as well and they dont mess up my screen resolution or colours which i doubt they will I think I should be ok right?
Go with only glass replacement. Its just glass...
I've never seen not genuine lcd for s7 edge
New lcd cost about 400$, glass about 130$ in my country, so its simple math
awesome thanks, the glass samsung said on the phone was $220 but in person they wanted 340 but couldnt do it when they realised I have the international model so they turned me back. Everywhere else I ask cheapest glass I can find was 260 and most expensive was 500 which is crazy just for that. Guess youre right its just glass best bet to go with it than spend wasted money. The places with "genuine" parts want 360 and again iffy if they are real or not

Greetings,
I was wondering. A few weeks back I broke the glass on my HTC HD2. It was only the glass, because the screen and touch capability was working as usual.
Sent it in for repairs same day as it was broken, and this is week 3 now, and they are still waiting to get the parts for it.
Also they told me that they could not just replace the glass, but they had to replace everything, including the LCD and all. Is this correct? Because it's getting quite costly for me, since they estimated that the repairs would be around $420 / 2500NOK / £280.
Is this true? Do you have to replace everything? Or are they just saying it to earn some more $$$. I'm guessing they're not paying that much to buy the parts.
They have to because from what I have read, the LCD is glued to the digitizer.

Is this what you are looking for?

Hello
I would check that price mate as I have just had mine in with HTC for a full LCD replacement and it cost £73 for the LCD and £30 labour so im not sure who is quoting you those prices.

How did you arrange repair? My brother has cracked his screen and had it replaced under insurance, the company have suggested he get it repaired as a back up or sell it.

that is simply robbery. TMobile US is selling brand new HD2's for that price. can't you find another service center?
On ebay a digitizer for touch hd costs about 50 €. the lcd display alone wouldnt be that expensive too i think.

And even in the store that other guy gave you the link to there is a huge price difference to the price you were told to pay.
For that price just buy a new one and save that for pieces
It sounds expensive to me. I saw iPhone screen repairs advertised for £39. It's not the same screen, I know, and there are more iPhones around, but I'd expect the cost to be similar.
Hi all!
I managed to crack the digitizer of my HD2 some while back. It's working but I'd like to have it replaced, and I really think I'll screw it up if I try it myself. However, the official HTC repair service here in Norway wants the equivalent of 370€ to do it, and most unofficial ones are only slightly under that price.
I'm wondering if you know of any reliable repair services elsewhere in Europe would be cheaper, and in that case, which ones?
I've seen digitizers & glass being sold online, but they say it's pretty hard to separete from the LCD.
There are also complete sets of displays for hd2, LCD+digitizer+glass going for around 85$ or more.

Indeed, but I want to avoid replacing it myself, just not at any price.
quick consideration: I bought my hd2, second hand, for 440€ in february. Up to a 200€ expense for repairs (lower than which I think it would be really hard to find anything) I would seriously consider buying ANOTHER hd2 which now, being almost august, maybe can be found for less than 350€. I am not following the market.
At thjat point you could sell yours as defective for 200€ and still have paied 150€, lower than repairs
Thanks for the tip, that's not a bad idea at all..
However these guys says they'll fix it for 150£, so I think I'll just take a vacation in London and pay them a visit while I'm at it.

So today i dropped my vibrant. Screen cracked so im a sad panda . I really dont feel like dishing out 200-300 bucks to asurion to fix this, so im going to buy the parts i need and fix it myself.
What i need to know is, is it possible to just buy the glass part of the screen by itself? The screen and Digitzer both still work 100%, so the only thing bothering me are the ugly cracks. Are the digitizer lcd and glass plate only sold as one part? because i really dont want to dish out 70 bucks to fix a piece of cracked glass...
If they are only sold as one part, can someone link me to the cheapest one available? like is there anything under 60 bucks?
The deductible for T-Mobile customers should be $135 at the most

It isn't going to be 'Cheap'
And where did you get $200-$300 from asurion? It only costs like $135 like the other guy said..
Deductible is $130.
Get a body glove for your next phone, as well (dropped mine ~10 feet off a short ladder and it was fine in that case - not even a scratch).
I will spare you the what you should have done...
But searching here will find you plenty of similar threads...
The digitizer/glass/AMOLED is all one piece. No way to NOT replace the whole piece. Samsung will charge you $170 direct to replace BTW if you send it to them.
You can find some on EBAY of course some may or may not be AMOLED as one of the awesomely friendly sellers let me know of his own product.
I ended up picking mine up from a stateside seller, and it was $77 with overnight shipping (used a coupon code and google checkout). Missionrepair.com was the place.

Was it AMOLED or LCD (website says LCD)? How hard was the replacement? It may be worth the extra $30 to have them replacement.
I just pulled "your" deductible through Asurion here at my store. It's $130 and that includes express shipping so you'll have it pretty much overnight.

anyone know how i can get just the glass replaced on my tab? In canada would be better but I suppose the us would work too. I could probably manage to find someone to replace it just need to get the glass in my hand. I searched on Ebay and the web in general, but nothing specific to just the glass.
I'm also curious about that. because mine is broken and I can not find anything. only full screens. but everything works just the glass is broken
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACER-Iconia...151?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256dddc7ff
3 Left. Looks like the damage will be $145 usd shipped to a U.S. residence, add another $20 bucks or so to get it into Canada.
wow... it is very expensive... i think buy death iconia will be better rational option
Acer charged me $200us to replace the glass, they also replaced the entire housing as part of the repair. I found it a better deal than spending almost the same to do it myself without the new housing...
Dropped my naked & beloved Note3 onto the concrete.
Screen is cracked, wacom encoder still seems good (, but I'll test it more thoroughly tonight.)
Have any of you replaced (or used a repair service to replace) only the cover glass?
Comments on your experiences are welcomed - costs, places selling parts, bad experiences, things to watch out for, etc.

Ouchie! Bad! I'd say tongue in cheek, since it's gorilla glass, use gorilla glue... But that'd be bad.... I'd suggest a whole display assembly but have zero experience so can't say for sure.

First quote I got from a repair service is $190 "out the door". About $130 for the LCD+Wacom Digitizer+Glass assembly and $50+tax for labor.
I understand the issue is that the gorilla glass is glued to the digitizer, so repair shops regard the process of cover glass replacement to be too risky/involved to deal with.
Found a video on youtube of a guy doing it... he said something like "you've got to get the glass too hot to touch in order to melt the glue" and "it takes about 45 minutes to carefully remove the glass". Ugh.
Maybe I'll price out LCD assemblies and do the work myself... anybody know a reputable parts supplier that is NOT in Hong Kong / China / Taiwan ?

I dealt with (Etrade Supply) before and they are pretty good.
I once tried to replace my gorilla glass and it was a bad experience. The Digitizer part was so fragile I destroyed it lol.
so I had to buy a full LCD+Wacom Digitizer+Glass assembly. That was way back.
I think if you are willing to spend a $150 + your time to install it. mine as well buy a used Note 3 from Ebay they run now around $150 to $180.
Good luck to you Sir and sorry to hear what happened to your phone.

Thanks. I looked at a bunch of those LOCA gluing vids on youtube and started pricing things (both parts and used phones) last night, and came to pretty much the same conclusion.
I suppose I could buy a used phone and attempt the less expensive (glass replacement) repair method - if it succeded, I could resell either of the two. And there would be no reason to hurry the repair that way.
I'll get it squared away eventually. I'm hoping to find an OEM part number list someplace - I get the impression that there are a ton of grey/aftermarket replacement parts (eg non-laminated, untempered glass lens or even non-Wacom digitizers), and there are sellers that don't pay attention to those details (or just flat-out misrepresent junk as something else).
