Hi guys,
So I was unlucky and the first fall of my new Xiaomi resulted to a break on my screen on the lower left bottom. The phone is fully functional but I was trying to search for the cost of a new screen in order to replace it. The truth is that the cost is really high. It's that high that it's better worth it to buy the cheap version of the Mi Note 2 than buying a new screen!
So, I'm here to ask if anyone has found any value for money proposal for a new replacement display for the phone!
Not really ... All the screens from china are 100-200 dollars ... Very expensive part if you are unlucky ... Try at aliexpress to search and try to make a deal with the seller , maybe you will get a good price
I think that one of the problem is the OLED screen is not cheap.And China is far away from us.The post must be not cheap.

Hi
My friend broke his note screen. I saw a replacemen on ebay for only 10 dolars.
Im kinda curious if i can trust this since replacement at some companies in the netherlands can cost around 250 EUROS

short answer, if seller has good rating/return policy why not.
read these threads if you havent done so

Its difficult, general concensus is replace complete screen, not just glass.
Yess they are expensive. parts4repair.com is pretty cheap, but probably long shipping to your country.
I guess a second hand phone can be cheaper, faster, lot less fuss
Sure, why not? I have ordered a lot of stuff from eBay recently and almost all of the items I got are good. There is sometimes mistakes by the seller but they often refund or resend the correct item.

Why not, only 10 dolars is almost nothing so I think you should try.
Aftermarket screens will never perform as well as genuine ones, almost every phone i've had has had a screen replacement (I'm always dropping them) so I've noticed the difference.
Don't pay too much or too little find a decent screen at a decent price and you should be okay with that, luckily there are some apps that can tune the sensitivity so consider that as replacements are often not as sensitive.

Okay thanks for the info he found an second hand thanx for the effort!
Hey guys, I just ordered myself a Grey Zuk Z1 from AliExpress seller called LuckyDog :silly:
It's $209 including shipping to New Zealand. Looks too good to be true but I did it anyway. The seller has only started selling on AEx earlier this year but he has 100% positive feedback.
I am waiting and not very sure what to expect. Everything in the ad looks legit.

Take a look and let me know.
I have also decided to mod the skin myself instead of the custom skins rip offs being sold around. I got a car Decal Vinyl for about 90 cents and it's going to look mean as.
Anybody?
its kinda too late to give you an advice, isnt it?
do you want to hear that this is a safe and good buy?
i would not buy a phone frome a seller with only 300 sells ... these sells may be fake?
i bought mine from amazon shipped directly from ZUK and did so because i want to have a good service in case the homebutton breaks, which will happen sometime.
i hope your device will arrive at your place and youre happy with the device

Actually it makes sense to do so, as I can cancel my order anytime before it ships. So I can still do so. How do you spot a fake Zuk, actually why would you fake something that is already very cheap?
I won't worry too much about warranty, I can fix things myself (hardware) when it gets to that as shipping things around from NZ is very expensive. Not to mention that with me rooting the device, I do not expect warranty anyway. Plus, people has been having troubles with ZUK's support so adds up to me not relying too much on warranty.
You are making a compelling argument nevertheless and the point you have raised which I agree with is regarding the product being fake.
i dont get it why you ask for opinions if you defend your position anyway
i just stated i would never buy a phone from a new seller especially at aliexpress. i rooted my device after using it for 2 months, now 7 months after buying it the home buttons feels sluggish.
i didnt pressed it for 5 months because i used mrcoldbirds rom and since a few weeks the nuclearrom but youre right, if you want to tear the phone apart you can fix it by yourself
no more answers from me
I didn't mean to sound defensive. You're right there.
Maybe I should break it down to questions, makes it easy to stay on track
- Has there been any reports of bad or fake Zuk Z1?
- Has there been any complaints of Zuk Z1 devices bought of AliExpress
- Any cheap alternatives to buy the phone for someone in New Zealand?
Thanks heaps for your input and time, feeling a bit ashamed for not thanking you earlier.
anyone know the best place to get replacement lcd/digitizer ..
seems to be abundant of them on ebay ..but how we know which one?
What prices are you seeing? Last time I looked, they were $170 - $200 for the screen assembly.
I just shipped my phone off to an official Samsung repair center. It took about a week and cost $182 with tax for parts and labor on a new LCD/digitizer/screen for my Note 5. In addition to changing the screen, they also changed the metal side part, it's brand new with no scratches. That seems like a better deal to go that route if you have a spare phone you can use for a week. Just hop on Samsung's website to get the number to call. Don't fall for their ~$74 price quote. That's how much they charge just to diagnose your problem. I told them exactly what my problem was and what was needed, she told me $74. I nearly peed myself. After the repair center got it, they canceled that charge and told me it would be an extra $X for the parts and $74 was the diagnostic fee. Still, $182 total for parts and labor is a good deal, comparatively.
thanks for the write up!......
actually I have it dismantled already..... just wondering best place to buy replacement seems to average price at Same price you paid for fix.
I'm in dublin and note 5 wasn't sold in europe so I set about fixing it myself.
where to get original Samsung part and be sure it is Samsung part?
Need original amoled display for my MI8(6/128) . I am confused which one to chose from Alixpress.
Please suggest me good one. And also share your experience if you have bought any.
I'm not really familiar with the repair world, but this one seems good.
Dont buy from ali. This shop has genuine http://www.dragon-tt.com/Products.aspx?my=pro&sid=118&fcid=11
Usually, I buy all my replacement parts on http://www.witrigs.com

The only shop I know that sells original xiaomi parts.
Never ordered there myself, but heard only good things about this shop.
I did search aliexpress over and over, never found any original part there. Don't waste your money. It's not just about picture quality, they all break really easy and there is no way telling the trash apart from the slightly-above-trash.
My experience with aliexpress displays: 2x mi4, one for about 20$, another for about 50$. 1x mi max for abour 25$. I couldn't tell them apart.
But there is another way around this problem.
You should check ebay in your country to see for how much you can sell your broken Mi 8. Take the money and buy a new phone.
Most times it's a bit more expensive than self repair, but it saves you a lot of time and work.
So, managed to drop my new Pixel 5 this morning after never once damaging my Pixel 2XL over the past few years...
Does anyone know of anywhere I can buy an OEM replacement in the UK please? I've seen I can have it repaired for £200 using Google's preferred repair partner, but I'm able to do the work myself so was hoping the screen (and adhesive) would be available from somewhere.
Thanks in advance.
a little bit late.... ok this is sad i feel with you.....
usually i order stuff like phone parts at AliExpress. But i just discovered, that the P5 replacement screen is really expensive :-(
~~150,- Eur - thats really hard.....maybe it is because the P5 is a new phone.
