Ok i recently posted about my device being dead and getting a replacement, well i guess it was easier than i thought and they have shipped out a replacement device. The problem is is they read me the terms and in those terms was "if we find any physical or water damage we will charge you $499 unless you send back the replacement and either way they WONT SHIP BACK YOUR DAMAGED DEVICE!!!!" I think that is rediculous. And ok i have a small crack in my lcd that happened a few days before it stopped booting. Ive kept all the factory stickers and screen film on from day one (been waiting for my screen protector) so im sure they will remove the screen film but you cant notice the crack at all, only if you look very very very closely you can see like a darker area along the crack. I have a oem lcd on the way and i was planning on replacing it so i guess my questions are should i send it back as is (do they take it apart and thoughroughly inspect it) or should i replace the lcd (does replacing the lcd require you to take apart the base or just the back screws on the screen?) and if you need to take the base apart is there a way to peel off the void sticker and replace the lcd and then replace the void sticker?
Replacing the screen will void the warranty so you might as well just send it as is and see what happens if you want the warranty work done.
so i would have to start at the base and unscrew the screws around the battery? theres no way to peel off the void sticker?
only thing with that is what happens when they find the crack? you lose the phone and have to pay for another phone.I think you might come out better just looking online to buy one and see if you can get the other broken phone to work again,if nothing else you'll have a phone you can use for parts which is more than you'll have if you send the phone in.But its your call if you don't think they'll see it go for it.
do they really have the right to keep my original device? i think that is rediculous if i send theirs back they should send mine back...
Bring it into an AT&T Store and ask them if your scratch will give AT&T the right to keep your device.

I agree. Take it in to an authorized AT&T dealer ahead of time and have them check the damage.
If they say it's screwed up and AT&T would keep your phone, then you know your options.
Personally, i wouldnt even ask them about it. I'd just take my phone in with the ****ed up LCD and see if you can get someone in the store to replace the LCD for you. Tell them you will pay for them to replace it so the phone will stay under warranty. See if that works?
Don't take it to a authorized dealer becuase they have know idea what there taking about. Take it to a AT&T corporate store, because they work for AT&T.

exactly. that's what i'd do.
Please let us know how it does.
I'm getting my tilt soon too
ok so ive heard back from htc, they quoted me that the mobo would be replaced under warranty but the lcd/housing would cost $192 (they also stated the housing of the phone needed to be replaced because "its such a tight fit that they need to break it to get the lcd out" and thats just crap!) I told the guy that that does not need to happen and im sure of that so he sent a request back to the techs to see what can be done if the phone can be sent out wit the replaced mobo and the broken lcd still inside (as i can still use the device its only a small crack). He stated that they need to replace the lcd for the purpoe of running the tests to make sure the mobo is fine so it can be covered under their 90day parts warranty. Any advice on what to say? Dont i have the right to get MY property back (the broken lcd) as is. They never stated anywhere that they would have to keep the broken parts by policy..

Is it "obvious" that the phone took a fall? If not, then you could probably get it replaced by calling AT&T's handset repair department (800-801-1101, I think) and just lie to them.
I never had a screen issue with my 8125, but I did brick around 7 of them from various issues with flashing custom roms. As long as I was careful with how I worded it, I got a new phone each time.

Screens don't just crack. They'll sniff out the lie.
and another one...i do feel better now after i broke mine, since it is a tilt u should be able to go through service see how much that will cost, if its over $200 u might be better off doing it urself by getting a screen elsewhere
My screen was cracked after 4 days of having it :')
It was inside my pocket without any further protection and i walked against something. Did cost me 136 euro to fix the screen.

where did you get yous fixed?
Unless you insured it somehow, you're going to have to pay to replace it. I don't see why anyone should pay for your accident if you didn't arrange coverage for it somehow.
they don't allow you to get insurance on it.
AT&T might not, but you can add it to your homeowners/renters policy or secure outside insurance from a third party (Safeware is one that I'm aware of). Mine is covered under my homeowner's insurance at a very low cost.
aite. but what do i do?

You go buy a replacement or get the screen fixed. They're not going to believe that you didn't break it yourself. I believe PocketPC Techs advertises that they can fix the screen.

I cracked my screen just s few days after getting it. I just repaired it this morning.
Contact njbridges here on the forum, or go to www.phoneystore.com and order the LCD from him. You have to get the whole LCD, as the digitizer portion is not available as a separate component. It cost me $120 + shipping to the US. He even included all the tools you need to make the repair. It literally took me 15 minutes to do. There are 4 torx screws under the display to remove, and then you use the separator tool that is included to remove the top housing. Once you've done that, unplug the LCD, slide it out, slide the new one in, reconnect the LCD, reassemble the top plastics, replace the screws, power back on, and you're done.
It's really simple to do. Why pay someone else to do it (especially if you're given the correct tools for the job).
Regards,
Jeff
Send it to at&t just don't tell them that the screen is broken tell them that it doesn't turn on, it worked for me and my 8125.

Me, too.
I just got back from Panama City, Panama where I was without my screen for a week. I talked on my phone while leaving the mall, put it in my pocket and pulled it out 15 minutes later after getting out of a taxi and the screen was broken. I'll be calling AT&T as this is my business' corp account. I had insurance on my Treo and my 8125, but think I may have dropped it on this one.
It does suck. The phone was three weeks old. I've gone back to my 8125 that's gone through hell and back without any problems....
I've got my fingers crossed or else I'll just order the screen myself.

Any time. One thing to note, putting the outer plastic cover back on is a little bit of a bear - it's a tight fit. you will need to put some serious pressure on the housings to snap them together. It's especially difficult on the power button side of the phone. I used a small flat screwdriver between the top and the keyboard to support the carrier plastics on the top and then used thumb pressure to snap the top plastic to the carrier.

As someone who has been through quite a few exchanges with Cingular (none since AT&T officially took over), and as a former employee of a Cingular warranty service provider, I can tell you that they do cover screen damage under very specific circumstances.
When going through the process on the phone, they will ask you basic questions like:
"Is there a pink strip under the battery?" - Indicates water damage
"Was the phone ever dropped from a distance greater than 2 feet?" - This is the important question for screen damage. Damage sustained from drops of 18 inches or less are covered.
It is a reasonable assumption that a cell phone, which is handheld most of the time, will be dropped on occasion.
The biggest question is whether or not the phone shows signs of "physical abuse". If you can answer no to that, then you should have no problem getting your phone exchanged.
So someone crashed into my son at a football game and broke the screen on his 2 week old Tilt...
Anyone know if it's worth trying to fix myself or should I just go for a warranty/insurance repair?
How hard is it to replace the screen? Are there any drawbacks (warranty/insurance voids, etc)? How much does it cost to get a new screen on the Tilt and how long does it take to install?
I would go for the warranty if it's still good.I took apart my Tilt and put it back together with guidance:
http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_kaiser/
Well the warranty doesn't cover broken display, unfortunately. And my insurance deductable with AT&T is somewhere around $150 (can't remember exactly how much, but I know it's around $150). So I am thinking I might want to try to fix it myself and if I fail, then use the insurance...
Thanks for the link!
will i just replace my sceen about a 1 week ago, i got the sceen off ebay for $45 take about 1hr. yes it going void warranty because u going brake the seal, but ya it not that hard change it up.

Somewhere in the breakdown process there will be a seal you have to break to get it open. If you can't remove that seal without breaking it then you've voided your warranty (even with insurance) and you will be paying for that phone after it gets back to Asurion. Best thing to do would have been to reported it as totally busted (ran over by a car? lol) and then after you make your disassembly guide you destroy it and send it back.

It is a simple white sticker over one of the lower screws. Easily taken off with a razor blade and put back on when you are finished. No one will be the wiser. I have done it twice and it was very simple. Good Luck.
I took my shattered glass HD2 in to replace the glass today at a local store. I was quoted $100 for the glass replacement. I thought, "hey excellent price. I'd rather pay a bill than ruin my phone by doing it myself." (I have fixed all my prior lcds on my phones just FYI) Needless to say about 5 hours later they tell me that due to the damaged state of the phone the lcd was affected as well from the jarring it took when it was shattered. Apparently there were was one large tear of the anti-glare coat on the top left hand side and two other areas where it was lifted as well.
I tried calling them out by saying the technician did not take the required precautions to avoid tearing the anti-glare coat on the lcd when separating the digitizer and lcd.
Unfortunately, I had the option of continuing as is or ordering an lcd screen from them for another $100. The owner who seemed pretty nice said he would try and see if he could get the price on the replacement lcd lowered. Personally, I believe I should not have to pay for the lcd since it was NOT damaged when I took it in.
I probably don't have any recourse though since they say it's a risk associated with this phone. I should have just bought the combo together and done it myself. That's what I get for trying to save a few dollars.
Would you gentlemen have any suggestions?
theres not really much you can do unless you just want to live with it. i was going to suggest getting a warranty replacement but realized it voids warranty when taken apart. if you want things done right DIY cant really rely on shops to do anything anymore..
That sucks. I'd want to be damn sure they are replacing the screen with a genuine article too.
Unfortunately you can't really prove that the membrane wasn't damaged prior to them touching the phone so it will be hard to get out of this one without forking out extra, however I suppose you could always politely threaten them with legal action and a public flaming on a busy internet forum if they don't want to play nice.
It's worked for me i nthe past when i've had issues with car servicing.
Warranty?

No warranty for physical damage to unit. Insurance would have covered it, if insurance was purchased? I did..
Hi,
My little man threw my rog direct on its face with no screen protector on and the screen cracked, i'm actually quite impressed, it dropped from over a meter of height. and everything still works including the on-screen fingerprint scanner. however I need that screen replaced. Is there any place that have the genuine parts, are the ones from aliexpress genuine? will they still be 120hz? I bought from Asus UK, and they quoted me £300 just for the screen.
You can get it from Aliexpress for cheaper. My issue is the repair. Do we have to remove the back panel to get to the screen or can I just go directly in the front and replace it there? the tear downs I found don't explain as they use a lot of jump cuts which doesn't help.

Looks like you don't need to take the back off. At exactly 7.06 there is a hole thru the black separation layer under the screen for the screen connector for attaching to the mother board. :good:

A bit off topic, but his name isnt actually "Jerry" his channel name is Jerry-rig everything (as in to fix or put together using non-standard or improvised materials).
Do not repair your phone yourself! If you do it. You will void your warranty, please return the device to your seller and they will send it over to a certified repair place where they have certified Asus techs that are allowed to open your phone up and repair it without warranty being affected. But if you do repair yourself then hardware warranty will no longer be valid.
Keep in mind that the device has 3 warranty types. 1 for the screen, 1 for hardware and last for battery.
So even you cracked your screen warranty is no longer valid for that part, but your hardware and battery has warranty still. So this is why you should not repair it yourself. Unless you want to void your warranty completely.

there is a lip near the speaker grill and around the glass. I can not tell if he goes around it or under it.. I will look into it again later.
Thanks for the info. The screen is super thin as it dropped knee height and it did not want to turn on. I then saw a hair line and that was that. maybe tempered glass would solve this in the future with a better case since \i used the one that came with the phone.

I broke the display and glass of my ROG 2 by accident. Fell from my pocket when riding bike and was run over by vehicles. There are scuff marks in the frame as well. Lying in service center for last 3 weeks awaiting display to be delivered from head office. Cost of replacement INR 15000 all charges inclusive. The service center says all asus phone displays come with the frame but they are not sure about ROG2 as my phone is the first one they handled. Hoping display comes with the frame so the scuff marks are also gone.
I was told display will arrive next week
Warranty on accidental damages is useless, Luckily I have insurance and am waiting for them to respond with solution, I think they'll just replace like for like
My Asus Rog Phone 2 screen is broken
I broke my Asus rog phone 2 screen accidentally. Now it's all black but i can receive calls play YouTube etc(the touch works). The service center told they cannot retrieve the data. So I'm planning to install a screen outside using some other trained professionals. Where can i get a good screen? Please share the link. Also please let me know if the data can be recovered.

I don't think you understood my point. You have two warranty types. One for screen and other for internal hardware and when you break the screen or glass then that warranty is voided for the screen/glass end, but hardware warranty is still valid so opening your Asus Rog phone 2 yourself and replacing the screen will void the warranty for hardware side and that usually is 2 years warranty. Or at least 1 year.
So don't repair your device yourself if you want your hardware warranty voided aswell.
Only a certified Asus technician may open your phone and replace the parts. Since then warranty will remain on the hardware end.

Yes i did. INR 15000. I think the cost went up as i was collecting the phone. They charged me the old rate applicable when i gave the phone for repair
I also broke my ROG Phone ll recently. Sent it back for repair. I was willing to pay the £226. Then they sent me an email stating the screen part I need no longer exists. They will refund me the repair cost but I am not stuck paying £30 a month for a broken, un-fixable phone. Not sure what to do at this point.
So i broke my screen on a drunken night out and as i had the tencent edition I didn't bother trying asus UK. Bought a screen of aliexpress went to a local repair shop and fixed. It is worth noting that you do have to go through the back as the screen ribbon is looped through the main board just to squash that rumour that you can go through front whole only.

That's some bull****, I bet they took parts as to expensive to get so they tell you a lie by saying part no longer exists.
Depends where you sent it to. Proper certified repair place won't tell you such thing since they know this device is new and parts are still available.
After complaining, they said that in certain circumstances they can send devices to Poland. Got them to do it, and I received my phone a week ago with a new frame, screen and battery.
Not sure if it would have happened if I didn't kick up a fuss

Well lately battery is stuck strongly with adhesive tape. So removing the battery will damage the battery to, so that's why battery is replaced aswell free of charge.
Even Samsung does the same to their phones.

How is the screen quality? Do you have the link of the seller you bought? I would not like to try the lottery and get the same ass yours if it worked well. Thanks!
Looking just as good as the one I had before and the part looked identical to the one that was removed. I'm not gonna post the link here as I I'm not sure if it will get moderated away but sent you a DM.
