So I just broke my sensation's LCD.
This is a TMOUS sensation that I have replaced the digitizer in before.
The digitizer's cable was already ripped so only about half the digitzer worked.
I was cleaning dust and old adhesive from under the glass and re applying new adhesive to it then the LCD cracked.
I broke it right after running an RUU so USB debugging is disabled.
I don't have $50 so I cant order a new LCD + digitizer combo.
What do?
sell it...(to a local builder to use as a brick XD) to a phone recycling company...get about $/£80-100. its worth it. and you would have more then enough to get something else. better then buying a new lcd screen

You could always sell it to a friend or family member and tell them that they could easily fix the screen for a cheap price that way they would buy it.
You can send it to me for free.
You need to make/save 50 bucks and then get it fixed!
Skip it like a pebble on a lake to see how many it will do.

There are guys on eBay selling the LCD only for the Nexus 7. Any potential buyers beware, the LCD is fused to the glass and digitizer. I don't even see how these LCD's could be useful. It would be a pain in the ass to separate the digitizer and glass. This will not help you if you have a broken glass display.
Do your research before you attempt to save money and try to repair your own Nexus 7.
Just a heads up. I've heard about people doing this for other devices.

Not true. You are still likely to break it when you drop the device
Good advice is to not drop your device

but it is less likely with a case .. .that's the whole point isn't it? :laugh:
I wouldn't necessarily warn people not to buy this. I broke the screen on my Skyrocket, and the replacement I bought was with the glass and LCD glued together. If the price is right, there's no issue with replacing both at all.
I dropped my Nexus 7 from about 5 feet the other day straight onto tile, and no damage at all thanks to my amazing case. I was about to mourn deeply had it been cracked at all. You just gotta make sure you get the case with padding over the corners. That's usually where the hardest impact is.

Sent from my Google Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I used to have the screen unresponsive issue and had my Nexus 7 sent back to Asus for repairing. The technician had my whole LCD module repaced, which included the LCD and the glass and the touch panel (or whatever it's called). So, I believe it's supposed to come as a whole package in the first place.
You break a part of it, you have the whole LCD module exchanged.
Op, you might wrong. They do come fused together in all new devices I have disassembled. I have changed my cracked screen several times on galaxy S2, HTC desire HD, HD2 and iPhone 4, it meant changing both the lcd and touch panel since they are fused together to avoid dust and other particles getting in between.

The LCD is fused to the digitizer on the Nexus 7. Your argument is invalid, and your attitude towards the OP is unnecessary and unwarranted.

I can see if you just need an LCD that being an option. I'm just trying to inform people that the LCD is fused to the glass and that buying just the LCD won't help you much unless you want to remove the broken LCD from the digitizer and glass. (Sounds like a pain in the arse)
I did not buy this LCD or get ripped off. Its just a buyer beware post. Don't want anybody to waste their money thinking they found a cheap fix.

They fuse them together to make the combo thinner, among other reasons. Separating the two will likely be difficult, if not impossible.

You use an hairdryer. Heat it up then it will come apart, If it's like the S3. My mate saw it on YouTube when he broke just the glass on his, but made an arse of it and bought both in the end.

+1 for the hairdryer treatment. It's the poor man heat gun. You'll find most, if not all devices have a bonded digitizer/LCD combo. I've repaired a many an htc device and they were all like that although the worst ones to do are ipads. They're well made with plenty of glue and real glass. I burnt out an one hairdryer dong it. Good job I'm bald otherwise I'd have very wet hair

Unfortunately, the Nexus was the only camera I had.
Dude... Gorilla Glass is still glass.
It's engineered to be scratch resistant, not shatter proof.
If it makes impact with something sharp/pointed or if it makes contact in just the right spot, it will shatter. It's just physics.
If the shock can't disperse evenly or if it's absorbed entirely by the screen, it will shatter. That's what bumpers are for.
Either way, you dropped it. That's not Google's fault. They didn't sell you a defective device, they sold a device to a clumsy person.

Not scratch proof. I had a scratch on it after the first day of light use....I have no idea how it got there.
Is there any way I can get this repaired? This is my only phone and I hate the thought that I just threw away $340.
LG said:
This is the way the warranty service works here: The warranty that we offer is valid for 12 months with the copy of the receipt and it covers only manufacturing defects, no liquid, physical or cosmetic damages, otherwise charges may apply for the repair on the unit. The process takes 5-7 business days, and the only cost that you need to cover would be shipping and handling by sending the defective unit to us and we cover the shipping back with Fedex.
michelle: If the phone is out of warranty, you can still send it in to us, we can evaluate it and check if it is repairable or not. If there’s a repair cost, we will inform you how much it is and then you decide if you want to pay or not for the repair on the unit.

Yes, same here chief. Bumper sold out, Immediately tho I bought my ass a $3 TPU case from China for the time till the bumpers come back up. You could be paying if the screen/digitizer cost like the nexus did at like 150+ just for that part! Good luck tho man.

I did the same with my GN2
As stated above my GN2 had the same fate. Luckily Sammy had a deal here in Sweden and i got it fixed for $100 (US). Shipping included. I really hope Samsung push the development of flexible scratch resistant screens. Hopefully they will be less likely to shatter.

Flexible screen still has to be covered with glass and digitzer ....
My main question is . how much more protection does a cover gives is there a drop test ?
Second question. Dude don't you have a home insurance or anything like that ?if it broke at home you are covered . check your bank account if you're paying for it you might have an insurance on it.
And this is what I'm going to do. Get an insurance for my phone and won't even use a cover or bumper .if it breaks I'll get a new one

This is going to be just like the nexus 7, a cheap build that breaks easy and the slightest crack will make the touch screen stop working. I dropped my nexus 7 on carpet and it cracked in a case. Not a big crack but everything stopped working and the cost to fix it was as much as buying a new one. Had to do a squaretrade scam to get my money back.
Only because the phone is 300 dollars will I be buying one. Going to buy 3 and get one squaretrade warranty so whichever one breaks first can use it.

I live in an apartment bro.
That sucks, my friend's Nexus 4 cracked a few days too, lower left side of the screen is unusable. If you want to do a DIY repair, the Screen+Digitized+Frame can be found on eBay (shipped from California). Unfortunately, it's pricey ($200+). I think LG is going to charge around $160ish for a repair. Let us know what they quote you.

Check www.gounlock.com or

You need to make sure if only digitizer(outer glass) is broken or LCD (usually blank screen if it's broken)as well. LCD is expensive to replace but If you have to then buy reassembled LCD and digitizer combo which is like $65 on eBay.
Or sell it on eBay as "for parts not working" around $50 and find cheaper from craigslist at around 175-200.

I wasn't too bad my advice: Take your time, follow the guide and you'll be fine. Wish I had a guide the first time I did it...
Had to replace mind..and now my bezel doesn't fit the same...=(...Oh well...do make sure to wipe that LCD clean with a micro-cloth or something JUST BEFORE putting the digitizer over it. One hair or something gets in there, it will bug you the rest of its life!
dropped my old vivid (before i bricked it) on concreate. shattered that m'fker upp.. lmao.. i ordered a replacmemnet from amazon and did it myself. its not too hard. look up a youtube tut. or i can do it for you if you want. $10+ whatever the screen costs

Hey y'all..
I dropped my phone and cracked the screen. It's one clean crack and doesn't seem to be speaking so it's not THAT big of a deal..just annoying.
So without going to sprint and talking about insurance and paying the money for all that.. What are my options?
Get a new screen and repair myself?
Is there a service that would do it for me if I sent it to them? Although that would leave me without a phone.
Any ideas?

seriously its insurance or buy a new One.
actually I believe you can replace the digitizer alone. I just replaced the digitizer on a raxr maxx which doesn't even have an ifixit manual, because its thought to be impossible. on the razr they use a full sheet of adhesive to attach the lcd to the digitizer. All the htc phones I have opened use 1mm or 2mm strips around the edges. if you use a heat gun or possibly a hair dryer you should be able to pull the broken glass away from lcd. make sure to always pull away from phone, don't pry against lcd. My conclusion is that if you can buy the parts separate they can be replaced. haven't priced glass but bet its under $20 usd. and even if you damage the housing ive seen it listed for $35 usd. also buy a good spudger and some guitar picks work well. here is the kit I have http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BHLVHVC/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. it will take time but better than buying new. also im not a phone tech, I have no training. Im not arguing with kraizk it is widely regarded as unrepairable so ultimately its your choice, good luck!
I don't carry insurance either, it's a horrible ripoff. There is a thread around someone where breaking down the math of it, it's a pretty bad bet especially as the phone ages. I would buy one on eBay, it can be slightly used or even a new one will be cheaper than buying it at retail. I would stick with a top rated seller, I have learned over the years it's worth a little extra. Dealing with stupid sellers who claim good ESN's even though it's not a clean esn it's just a hassle to deal with. Once you get your new phone, your one with the cracked screen will have a clean ESN on it. Sell it as is on eBay with the clean esn. It will still have plenty of value. If you play your cards right there is no reason you can't keep your replacement cost at the same as the insurance deductible of $150 not to mention the fact you can pick what phone you get vs getting a refurb. You also aren't paying the monthly premium. That is how I would go about it if it was me because having a clean ESN will keep it's value up & it still works. Dump it as is or your going to be kicking yourself trying to repair it. Good Luck
Hello all.
So, the screen from my nexus 7 is broken, I had it in my back pocket with the minijack attached.
I got a tilapia version.
Is it worth it to replace the screen and the digitillizer?
If yes, do you recommend an online shop? I live in Germany.
I am not really familiar with eBay, I will use it only if it is really trustworthy vendor.
Thank you all in advance

Not worth as an investment in my humble opinion.
Try searching ebay for the unit with the working screen.
ok i need some help here, i dropped my n7 and it seems the glass is cracked and thus digitizer fails completely (damn you single glass system).
Now i dont understand is what do i need, does it have to be touch screen + digitizer or is there simply top glass assembly cum digitizer online. i will be ordering from india so i dont think i will be able to get it replaced. so its just one time buy.
screen combo is massively expensive at 40$ something which is basically the cost of my tablet itself. however touch screen assembly seems to be just 10$ affair with free shipping. which one will be for me?? please help

If it's only glass cracked, then you can do it - just need some patience and skills to disassembly digitizer glass and LCD, you can look at THIS
I doubt you'll do it if you've never done something like this before, but you have nothing to loose.
