Screen broken..Not sure though

My phone felt from about 5 feet yesterday and i am wondering whether the my initial display (AMOLED) has to be replaced or the front glass. My phone seems to be working great including touch and the display. I ran to Sammy's service center asap and they told me the display has died and it will cost around 8500 INR (~170$). Just wanna make that what avtually has to be replaced.

I don't see the thumbnail, Is your screen smashed? there are ways to replace just the glass, I think there's something in this forum or General walking you through it, However ,I'd not do it..
If the screen is smashed I'd either A) Have SS replace it or B) Buy one and do it myself, However, I'd need to be 110% sure I was comfortablt with the process..
There's also a couple of YouTube video's showing the process for replacing just the glass and also the full screen..

Thanks for replying ..I actually listed my question just to confirm what has to be replaced whole display+digitizer or just the front glass. I do not rely on the service center guyz to be honest. Will service center people just replace the above glass or they will charge me for the whole screen ?

Cracked screen

Hey,
My Xperia Z cracked while laying on my bed. I've read all the topics about the design flow, is it worth to try and get the phone repaired under warranty in Australia? The glass isn't cracked, only the digitizer(lcd looks fine).
Otherwise, has anyone tried screen assembly with frame kit? There are some on ebay from china but the pictures don't really show the quality of the frame so I'm wondering if it's any good.
What about adhevise, what should I use to keep the parts together? Probably I can forget about waterproofness?
Thanks in advance

Design flow? Digitizer is not made of glass?

I believe the digitizer and lcd are fused together and cannot be replaced independently of each other.
This is very common with new phone as it helps keep the display assembly thinner and improves the IQ of the screen.
You have to buy an entire display assembly and replace the whole thing.
Here is one...

Called Sony Au today, they told me that they charge 40 aud for examination of the phone and u have to send the phone to Sydney. Told me that they have never repaired cracked screen in sony xperia z under the warranty and the cost is bit under 500..haha. I used to love sony but not anymore!

happened to me but I dropped my phone instead. My digitizer got damaged but my LCD works fine. I had it replaced with one a replacement front panel. Sony was going to charge me HK$2,100. I got mine replaced for HK$1,200.

Probably is posible to change the screen by yourself, if you are skilled enough. Bringing it to service, last time I checked, they charged you half the price of a new unit for the new screen.

oh dear thats going to cost you. i broke mine xperia z screen all i did was take it out of my pocket and it was broke. i sourced the part off amazon for 95 quid. all because sony are robbing and put the outerglass with the lcd all in one unit to make it more expensive. anyway i did it myself as the repar centre was asking 250 quid. its not waterproof now though as i couldnt find the gasket for the lcd so i used normal 2 mm strips.

Thanks guys.. Okay.. I will try to change by myself.. maybe do you know where i can get cheaper that glass lens?
I found this cheapest variant in ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Xp...er_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item2a306f4842
P.S. How I understant the Display and digitzer is all in one?

up..

broken screen replacement help ?

hey guys
so last week something unbelievable happened to me and i say unbelievable because no one will believe what happened but thats it what can i do about it xD OK so last week my G Watch fell from my hand while wearing it and it fell off on my Xperia Z from about 20 centimeters and i didn't care that exact moment because i said like WTF it wont harm the device and after 2 minutes i opened my phone aaand its just not working the screen was broken from the area on the left of the microphone and the phone wont work but from a special small area anyways i went to my local Sony agent and he told me that the digitizer cant be replaced alone and that they will be replacing the whole LCD Display so i went to some other 3rd party repair-shops and they said the same thing and they will be replacing it with a non-original Display that cost 1/5 the price of the one that the Sony Agent offered me ( Sony Agent told me that it costs 170 Jordanian Dinars which equals 240 USD and the phone itself new unlocked costs pretty much less than that in my country ( Jordan ) )
Anyways i was wondering guys if i can replace the digitizer alone by myself (by ordering it from eBay or so and disassembling the phone and replacing it at home ) or should i replace the whole LCD Display ?
(Sorry if i had any English mistakes but i"m not a native English tongue )
Best Regards,,,

I had broken touch screen and i watched video on YouTube how to repair just touch screen, ordered just touch screen from Ali and I broke the digitalizer so i ordered whole screen with mask after. My point is, if you don't have tools and skills (or is you first time) buy whole (touch screen + digitalizer) and replace them.
Good Luck!

thanks bro :good:

Digitizer and touch screen are glued together making it impossible to remove the touch screen without breaking the digitizer that is made of thin glass.
I replaced the combo on my first Z after my car key fell off from above 15cm or so onto the screen, same story as yours! (X_X)
But:
1/ Besides the combo touch + digitizer piece you also have to buy the sticker as the actual glue around the frame will get destroyed while removing the screen.
2/ If your phone is old, you might want to buy an original battery to replace your existing battery.
3/ While reassembling the battery in the phone make sure it does not stick out from the plane surface otherwise it will push on the glue and reopen your phone. Mine had a piece of plastic on its side with harpoon like features; it looked like it had been forced into place with harpoons retaining it: crappy design, to my opinion.
Some 3M strong and thin double side tape might also be useful to keep the battery into place especially if you keep the original one which might unfortunately get a little bent while un-glueing it from the case...
In any case, you should consider its waterproof feature gone!
Good luck!

Just dont go for non orignal diplay you will regret it, most probably they will order a whole new CHEAP QUALITY front panel from ebay which will have poor quality of screen and all the ports. Also the power button will become a bit hard to press.
I did the same mistake and gave my phone to a local phone repair shop which was cheap but my phone went dead the very next day after it came back from repair. I agree Sony Service Centre will charge more but your phone will be in best possible condition.
My suggestion go to Sony people for repair.....
Hope it helps you

Thank you guys very much i really appreciate your help and i think i'm going to the Sony agent because i dont have that much of experience to disassemble the phone and i might get it even worst instead of fixing it :\
again thank you really much guys

Just pay attention to pay a fake screen no original one there's a few different things between the original one

Redmi K20 Pro Back glass broken

Hello people!
The back glass of my K20 Pro is broken unfortunately :crying: . I don't know how it broke despite being in a case.
I'm from India. Can someone advise how should I get it fixed?
Should I go to the service center or get it done in the local market?
If anyone knows the price of back glass replacement in service center, please let me know.
I heard the price of the replacement in local market is around ₹ 500-700. Ofcourse it's not original glass.
Does anyone know if there is any difference in quality of glass applied in the service center to the one used in local shops (probably imported from china).

I'm in the same boat as you. Fake back cover glass is about 800/- on Amazon and the process of removing and applying the glass seems fairly simple. But yeah, I'd like to know how much of a difference is there between the original and fake back cover.
