[Q] Replacing digitizer on I9000

Hi, the other day I dropped my Galaxy S I9000 on the concrete and shattered the digitizer. The screen still works alright and the touch portion of the screen still works 100%, but there's a few big cracks in the screen.
Optus want to charge me $150+ (I don't have insurance on it plus it's "out of warranty" because I flashed 2.2 on it) while a repairman in Melbourne quoted $150 neat (but couldn't do it because their main tech was away). I've seen a few sellers on eBay selling these parts for $99 with a mini toolkit but I'm not sure if they are the Super AMOLED that is in the original phone or just an LCD screen that may or may not have the same resolution or quality
Has anyone replaced the screen on an I9000? From what I can gather, the screen and the digitizer are one so you can't buy a digitizer only. I've also seen that the connecting ribbon on the phone is glued into place and you must be very careful when removing it.
Any thoughts are welcome. I can still use the phone just fine, but I don't want to risk any further damage to the screen.

digitizer only available here
I had the same problem. Found this but haven't had it delivered or tried to fix it yet. You managed to find/fit one yet? I'm worried that it will be had to separate the screen and digitizer, will let you know how i get on.

[Q] Nexus S 9023i Replacement screen / front cover

Hi there.
My Nexus S screen broke up and ill be thinking is that possible to replace?
The screen is fine but the glass went broken.
Where I can get new frontcover/glass or do I have to get whole screen at all
(screen and frontcover)

the exact thing happened to me just minutes ago, infact thats why I came here. I know they can be replaced, I've found a few options with a quick google search, now just seeing how cheap I can get the parts

They can definitely be replaced, the problem's just that many of the replacements don't work (or don't work with a specific batch of phones, I haven't actually gotten to the bottom of the problem yet). A friend of mine broke his screen too, so I ordered a replacement and when it arrived, the LCD worked but there was no touch recognition. I had it replaced, and the replacement assembly had the exact same problem. The seller told me there were 2 versions of the i9023 screen which are incompatible with each other and that he had sent me the right version the second time, but I don't know how much is to that as it didn't work... Here's the thread in which the issue is covered:

[Q] Cracked my screen :(

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Today my phone leaped out of my hand and shattered its screen on impact with the ground.
I rang a local phone repair man, and he said he could replace the glass for £50. Great!
When I got home I did a quick search and found a few places where it said that this is not possible, something to do with the glass being stuck to the LCD underneath. Apparently you need to replace both the screen and the glass together.
Does anybody had any experience with this? Am I going to be stuck with a hefty repair bill?
Thanks

The glass is with the digitizer wich are very hard to be separated, even impossible. But if he has some spare part from another SXL he can give you a lower price i guess. I don't think that the price is to low. Here it costs about 120 eur. So you can ask him if its a new or used one. Just to be clear. And don't forget to take your battery with you when you leave the phone. Because there is 99% chance that they swap your battery

XL imposible to change digitizer only

On HTC XL it is imposible to change digitizer only .I just experience myself and ruined semi usable phone with cracked but fully working glass. Touch digitizer screen and lcd are (unlike some other models) GLUED together.!.
So sellers who sell digitizer only for 30$ are essentialy fakers, not telling you that it is imposible to change Digitizer only. But for 30$ many try and both throw that money and render phone totaly unusable. So they must buy whole LCD +TOUCH assembly that is much expensive. now about 150$ .
TIP: If you have cracked SXL - use it that way if you can (like me 30day with almost no problems) or buy whole assembly. No middle here

Replacement LCD and digitizer combo

I pick this one up for $100 from Best Buy when it was first released I think I was on a pre-order and I used it for about a month and I loved it for the price but I must have cracked the screen somewhere and I sent it in for warranty replacement because the phone will turn on ring and be usable except the screen will not turn on. I finally heard back from the warranty company and they told me that the screen is cracked and was not covered so I've been looking around for a place on screens all over the Internet for this phone and it's Chinese equivalent the Gionee elife s Plus and I can't find any. From what I've been able to ascertain there is a screen and digitizer combo that's pretty hard to separate or fix one or the other. Does anyone have a resource to find replacement parts for other possible other phones that use the same screen or digitizer that I can use in here?

This site has a screen : ww w bluphoneparts c om

Thanks for sharing that, I had found that site, but the price is a little high as the phone itself was $100 new, and they only have the black, not the gold color that came with my phone.

Touchscreen crack replacement?

Today I got accident and my screen cracked a bit. But, everything function normally(touch, LCD or screen). So the question: do I need replace screen digitizer(touchscreen) only or must replace both LCD&touchscreen?
I read somewhere, must replace touchscreen+lcd but in my case it is only cracked screen, LCD working fine.

Glass and LCD are glued together and those are also glued into frame. It's possible to replace screen by purchasing glass + lcd as 1 unit but this means you have to pry the old glass from the phone's frame.
What I did was I just bought frame + lcd + glass as 1 unit form Ebay. It's much easier and risk that you'll break something is much lower.

Thanks for info m8...

How to find the best replacement screen
Today my Nexus 5X screen has cracked. However the touch responses and the colours are still great. Just the front screen cracked.
Please let me know where to buy the genuine replacement for the screen? Are there any good sellers in Amazon? I want to replace it with an OEM part.

Replace the whole screen.

just buy 1 from ebay, original or not (i have not original one and works just fine)
1>your warranty is void
2>if you don't want to lose your warranty just sent it to LG ! .....bad idea!!! they want 160 euros!!!! the same thing happened to me
*160 euros cost in Cyprus
this is what i got is not original but works just fine!
