I had purchased the Moto Turbo (Indian Version XT 1225) for ~USD 650. Recently, in a minor accident it broke. Ouch
>> Visible damage: Top glass seems fine, but the display underneath is cracked, no longer functional (We do not have the free one time screen replacement option that Verizon gives. Plus I did not have any other insurance).
>> Possible invisible damages: Right after the accident, the phone became pretty hot, and it was vibrating every 15 odd seconds for about an hour or so (till it ran out of battery, perhaps). I don't know if the internals suffered from any shock or heat damages.
The authorised service center says the Display unit replacement will cost ~USD 280. Any other possible, though unlikely, damages to the battery/motherboard can be determined only after the display is replaced. I have not been able to find out if display units for the Turbo are available for cheaper from third parties in India, any idea about that?
Now my dilemma. Do I go for the screen replacement for a very expensive ~USD 280. Or do I go in for a cheaper handset. I really liked my Turbo, more than what we have on the market right now, the only two gripes being the camera quality compared to it's peers and the doubtful upgrade to Android M. But it has not had a price reduction, and in the current mobile market, shelling out ~USD 650 for it seems too much.
Thoughts?
I think it's worth fixing.
I broke mine, got the LG G4, got fed up with the LG UI, overheating, lag, bad signal and crap battery so I just sold it and bought brand new Droid Turbo. I'm waiting for it to be shipped since I live in Spain and I had to get it of eBay .
Nothing better on the market atm..
I too am from India and I too broke my turbo screen but fortunately only glass is broken and phone is still usable.
I've not yet looked outside service centre as my phone should be under warranty but also don't want to spend so much just for broken glass. There is no separate glass but need to go for complete screen. I'm going to try local market once I get time to see what are other options before I go to service centre.
Friends,
I purchased my Xiaomi MI3 in China couple of years ago but I live in India now. Recently the phone fell down and a crack on the screen due to which the touchscreen doesn't work. But phone works as usual as I am able to receive calls, SMS etc.. just that I am not able to login as the touchscreen doesn't work.
I went to the service center in Bangalore but they rejected to replace the screen stating that the phone was purchased outside India, though I was willing to pay if they could change it.. but no help.
Need your advise how can I replace the touchscreen.
Thanks a lot.
Bangalore service center is supposed to be one of the best, if they are not willing to repair it, then I doubt you would get any official support from Xiaomi, you could try the following.
1) Buy Screen replacement from eBay, they are just 2-2.5k Rs. as device is getting old, search for 'Mi 3 Screen'.
2) Try to take the parts to a person who can repair it, you should be able to find skilled persons for repairing mobiles in Bangalore
3) If none of it works, there are videos on YouTube showing how you can change the screen yourself, it isn't really tough and worth a try as there's nothing better you can do.
Best of luck!
Go to a local mobile repair shop and get it replaced. I got mine done 2 days before only.

Hi, ran a search first but no luck. I own an international (asian I think) Note 9, which I accidentally dropped yesterday from my hand to the floor and landed on the screen and I found out Note 9 screens suck because it fell from waist level and it shattered even with a tempered glass screen protector, thought it was the protector at first but turns out the screen took all the damage. Thing is I'm in the US, I purchased this because I needed a dual sim version. I've reached out to Samsung and apparently they won't touch the phone (much like the other thread I found about a guy in the same situation but in the UK), there's no ubreakifixit store nearby and I don't get the prompt to send it in, I was thinking of giving it a shot myself but watched the video tutorial and seems to hard and I fear I might damage it beyond repair. Any other advice other than get a new phone? not many local repair shops about, there's a few iphone ones.
Your best bet would be to take your device to a 3rd party repairs shop and get them to fix it. As the UK Samsung Service Center won't touch imported devices, even if they are official Samsung Devices. Don't try any large chain repair shops as they use official Samsung Repairs Devices and won't touch import devices either for fear of loosing their official Samsung Repairs Certification.

US Samsung ubreakit locations will fix international phone screens. So if you can find a location near you, you can call to verify. (For some reason, if you call Samsung and ask if they will fix the phone they will say no, but the local authorized Samsung repair centers in the us got a memo earlier this year authorizing them to work on international devices).
Thanks for the advice, found a nearby repair shop. Not sure if it's still worth paying a 1/4 of the original price for repair, seems like replacing it might be best.
someone know how to open and replace LCD? This is a slider phone so it's new for me.
I contact lenovo Europe and they only inform that I must contact China because this model was not sold in EU.
Did you manage to get to the bottom of this? I have the same problem.
you can watch youtube I saw some videos about screen replacement also I sold my device because of software not supporting europe just in china, I don't know why device is awesome but company very interesting
