Im living in the Uk and managed to crack the screen on my kaiser. My insurance company will fix it/replace the phone but theres is a 50quid excess.
Iv searched the internet high & low for new LCD screens but aside from ebay iv struggled to find any. As for the ones on ebay they are all from hong kong & google has brought up a few horror stories from people who have used them.
Does anyone know where i could source a new lcd from, or any advice in general?
cheers guys
I cracked the screen on my kaiser a couple months back. I purchased an LCD off ebay (i may be able to find the seller and see if he has more). I received it within a week and fixed it myself. easy stuff. I wouldn't be too afraid.
so your insurance will charge you 50quid to replace it completely or 50quid on top of the price of the lcd?
cnn.cn has lcd's for $75.99 + shipping. I've had mixed results with them. Ordered about 3 things from them, all seperate orders, arrived on time and no complaints. But then ordered a 4th item (lcd for nokia n82) and the package arrived empty. I honestly think it got lost in customs cuz they tore the package open, but cnn.cn didnt reply to any of my emails so i just withdrew the payment with my bank.
£50 in total, inc shipping and parts. the £50 is just my insurance excess.
The phone is in very poor shape so imo id quite happily pay the £50 if they will send me a refurb phone!
poor shape how?
i sent my phone Tytn in or repa[ir on insurance with a cracked screen, they serviced it, cleaned it etc.
if you have insurance then use it! you won't be able to get a screen for less and then you'll have the hassle of fitting it.
whats the point in having insurance?
if your phone is in poor shape cosmetically and you are disappointed with that then look after your phone!!!
else report all faults in a one-er and get them fixed for one excess payment.
Does anyone know how much HTC UK charge to replace the housing (not the screen or battery cover) of a HD2?
I would like to get mine changed but HTC UK want me to send in the phone before they will give an price!
Ouch! I hope you like the results... I'm curious about the price of that too. It's a bit early, but you might find a parts-only phone with a smashed screen or something and a suitable body.
go to truesuppliers webpage they have them for 80.00

Do a google search before you buy there. I've read they sell cheap/poor quality stuff.
Looking too now. Mine has developed a crack that has spread from the battery slot to the edge of the screen.
i rang htc uk last friday asking about this. they said they could pick up the device next day. repair time would be 10 days. cost to replace all plastics (by this i assume they mean the main housing/battery cover. possibly the main body of the phone as well) £65. probably best to call them yourself to check that price. they said they would be in touch to let me know the price when the damage had been assessed by an engineer.
i didnt bother with this as my housing only has superficial damage so went looking for a good replacement. got one on order now. when it comes i'll post up a pic. check my thread for updates. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851273
It looks like most of the posts in this forum are for covers - should've looked here earlier.
I tend to abuse my phones pretty badly - I usually buy a case, but since the options were slim for the Focus when I bought it, I haven't had one. The other day I put the phone in my pocket with keys and the back cover took a beating.
Anyone found a place to buy a replacement back cover? I figured they would be available by now, but I haven't seen any other than one on eBay that's up to $37 at this point.
I tried calling Samsung's mobile accessories / replacement parts line, but no one seems to pick up.
I have one from a focus I sold for parts. I dont know how you would want to do a transaction but id sell it for 20 dollars.

How much for the earphones?
Me too
I sent Samsung Support an email requesting information about ordering one and got no reply. Sent it weeks ago.
back cover
I definitely need to locate a back cover also.
Hi guys. I too broke my back cover.
I called Samsung, and leveraged my way all the Corporate Help Center through yelling at 3 supervisors.
Samsung unfortunately are not producing back cover replacements at this time. :/
However, I went to the AT&T store and spoke to the manager. He gave me a back cover from Focus that was returned to them and said they do that all time, try that. :]
I saw some back covers on sale on ebay for around $20
EBAY
Search on EBAY for "Samsung I917 Battery Cover" and you will find a vendor with used, refurbished and new covers ranging from $19.99 - $29.99.
I dropped my nook on the patio last night and I have a spiderweb series of cracks on it. Everything still works which is good. I've looked at a couple tutorials on the web for tearing it apart and it seems pretty easy. The only place I found to buy a new screen is this auction on ebay.
So, has anyone bought one from this place? Know of any others? ANyone here done a successful screen replacement?
A factory refurb is now $199 on eBay with free shipping. I think I would go with that and not mess with this, but if you want a challenge.......
I too need a new screen. I have a friend that basically makes a living repairing phones and replacing screens. I think he could do it, but I can't be sure that is the correct screen. Price seems a little high. I message that seller, but no response.
While I was at my friend's business talking about this, someone else called looking to replace a nook color.screen.
I cracked the screen on my first NC, and it's now a pile of parts waiting for a replacement. Side-note, thanks for that link...
It's really easy to change. If you've ever serviced electronics before, this is a no-brainer. No soldering required, all you need is a small flat blade driver or the proper T5 torx driver. I used the flat blade on my Leatherman. B-)
If you can take pictures on how to replace the screen or open a separate thread, that would rock!!
you can see pics of the teardown here.
or youtube video
Does that mean we can replace the battery-pack ourselves if there's replacement?
Yea, should be easy enough. It's adhered to the mounting plate, which needs to be removed to access the battery wires and connector.
Bestbuy sells a replacement battery from Nook.... Hence another +1012398414 to the nook

I doubt it's a Nook Color battery. Replacements for the original Nook are commonly available and easily changed.
Hey,
a little more than a half year my N7´s screen broke so i didn´t use my N7 for a long time. Would you still recommend me to fix my N7 for 55€ (about 69$)? I loved it so much and i still miss it for surfing and browsing amazon and so on. But i don´t know the community status? Are there still developers for it?
Sincerly,
Phil
It depends.I just bought a like new ,used Nexus 7 on EBay for $100. If you are saying the repair includes part and labor it might be worth it. If it just is the price of a new screen and you are going to repair it yourself you have to consider what your time is worth.
It's the Display unit only. I have to repair it myself. But the time is it worth but I don't know about the money. Is there any good alternative for just a little bit more or would you say the old Nexus 7 still got the power?
And other opinion?
For the price of the screen not many. Seeing we will be getting Lollypop, if you got the skills go for it.
The newer Nexus 7 (2013) version is going on swappa.com starting at about $145 for Mint condition.
If you can swing that, might be a good purchase, it has slightly better specs and form factor than the original Nexus 7 (imo).
There is definitely still a strong development community for the grouper though, i don't see it suddenly dying out anytime real soon.
So I think I made a decision. I repair it for around 40€. And maybe in the future I take a look at the N9. Would buy it instantly but it's not cheap at all with 32GB. But, dayum, that's an awesome tab.
I just did mine with a screen assembly off aliexpress I got for £26/€33. Took about 2 weeks to arrive and less than an hour to fit using a hair dryer, the included tools and a youtube guide. Cheap enough to be worth a go and its good to have it back.

Was it free shipping?? Link to the site pls... And what was included in the box?
Yeah, i thought about buying it at aliexpress.com but i don´t have one of their required payment methods.
btw here is the link (Display And yes, it´s free shipping.
I bought mine on ebay for 29€ (about 36$) because the display is already in germany. So i don´t have to pay any taxes or duty and my waiting time is only around 3-4 days!

Yes free shipping. Included tools are 2 mini screwdrivers, a spudger and a triangular thing like a guitar pick. No double sided tape, mine was fine but you may need some if you damage it.
