In the UK, your first port of call is always the retailer rather than the manufacturer.

ok i try that,but will the retailer like carphonewarehouse take mine back and exchange? its been 34 days now and willthe dust and light bleeding be enough to justify a exchange?

I think the only people that can answer that is Carphone Warehouse surely!!
Personally, I'd ask them to sort an exchange out and ask them to get in touch with you when a replacement can be made immediately rather than waiting until one comes in stock meaning you would be without the tablet.

Unlocked Device with broken screen

My TF300 screen broke and I was wondering if Asus honored the warranty on hardware issues on unlocked devices

If you break the screen, then Asus has no reason to repair it FREE. You do have to pay for a repair.
Warranty only applies for things like cpu and such (u know what I am talking about)...
Buying a new screen
So having ASUS repair it and paying them for it is one option. Does anyone know know where I can buy the screen and DIY?

I have just bought a screen (digitizer) from ebay and I am about to replace mine, but please check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728820 and read it through well. You may face issues during the process...
DIY Screen replacement
Thanks so much for sharing that thread! What screen are you buying, can you share that link as well? I'd also be very curious to hear how the process went for you and what challenges you face. Thanks again and best of luck!
The DYI seems to be the only method that makes any fiscal sense. $185 to have ASUS replace it and the local repair guy charges $70 for the screen and $100 to replace it.

I bought one off of ebay, I don't think you need the link. But if the local repair guy might be willing to sell you a screen only I would buy asap.
BUT as for the process, it sucked for me...
The screen does not work. Challenges were to glue the new screen and to find a good glue to use.
Please check your ribbon cable (the gold/coppar colored cable at the lower right corner (if you open your tab). Does it say GO1 or GO3 or neither.
Feel free to ask any questions...
You can get one on eBay and there are beautiful tutorials on YouTube showing how to repair it yourself

[Q] Shattered screen in Europe

Hello,
Most of the threads here are about replacement screen in US. I live in Switzerland and have suffered the broken screen from less than 1 feet off the ground :crying:
Can anyone advise me on where I could possibly get my screen replaced? Or should I just buy a screen off the bay and do it myself? Or is the screen + frame option better for DIY repair?
Thank you for your time and help.
Cheers

I suppose if you want to keep warranty in tact, you'd send it to LG to replace, or one of their service centres. Probably worth contacting them and asking for advice initially.

That was my thought initially. Unfortunately, Switzerland doesn't have LG service for Nexus 5.

I would still contact them for advice initially. You must have warranty, so therefore they must be able to advice how to replace the screen without voiding it, surely?

Light bleed, is this normal?

I have just received my XZ dual and all seems to be OK apart from the not so great camera, which I expected.
I have just found that there is a light bleed coming from the phone body, in the bottom right corner, between the display panel and frame. Waterproofing test seems to be working. Also it always stops about half second later after I turn off the screen, which is a bit strange.
I am adding a picture...
Does anyone have similar issue?
No light bleed on mine. Think the camera is fine too.

That's not normal at all, you should get yours replaced asap, this phone is supposed to be completely sealed.

That's what I thought as well. I have never seen such issue on any of my smartphones before. The problem is, I live in Europe and bought mine from HK. Hope the seller will take it back...

If you brought the phone brand new you don't need to sent it back to seller. It has international warranty for 2 years. Sony will fix the issue or replace handset.

Thanks for your advice. The seller has actually contacted me with the return shipping details and I will be returning it to their UK hotspot.
I have decided to get a refund instead of a repair or replacement as I am not really sure I want this phone anymore, at least not now. It's a beauty, but I will wait once all the issues are fixed and then maybe get one.

The phone is great, I really can't find any real negative side of it, people talk **** about it because of the 3gb of ram, but if you want disappointment give a look to samsung or htc's forums

[Resolved] Zenfone ZS570KL replacement LCD

Hello,
I bought a Zenfone 3 Deluxe 5.7" a few months ago. Device is amazing! or was... Unfortunately, I dropped it down stairs and the LCD got a small stain that spread all over. Gorilla Glass is fine but LCD is broken and I was looking for a replacement either the whole screen or LCD part but couldn't find it on ebay, amazon, aliexpress, parts4repair and some other sites. The only one that seems to have one available is docteur gsm... but, that site has really bad reputation.
Called Asus and they said they could fix it for $300 USD (for a $500 USD phone).
Any ideas or sites you could recommend?
Alex,
PD>>I'm in Texas, USA.
UPDATE 03/13/2017:
Found one seller en eBay!
https://goo.gl/h18QpL <<<--- Out of stock for now but, you could try asking seller for restock.
There is also a video showing how to replace the screen. (Well, disassemble the phone properly)

Had the same problem 2 weeks ago.
I found a replacement LCD glass which is "remote stock' for 200€, which is in "remote stock"...
Hello Gents,
I got the same issue, screen broke by falling.. I've checked every online store but couldn't find one, even the local Asus support center said that they do not have the replacement screen yet.. not sure what to do now..?

I had trouble finding a replacement screen for a legacy Zenfone 6. The Asus repair centre kept me waiting for over 2 weeks. I ended up ordering a replacement from Ali Express. It's not gorilla glass but I had a functional phone till I upgraded.

How much did it cost? Near 200 USD?
I have the same problem, I dropped the cell phone and the LCD died, there are no alternatives to buy it online.
Can I put an alternative lcd screen? I know it is not recommended, but I do not want to lose my cell phone, I bought it less than 1 month ago,
Greetings from Chile
I have done this to mine too....twice.
I love the phone in all other respects and the body and gorilla glass is amazing and strong and survived all sorts of other torture.... but and flat shock seems to damage the fragile lcd.
I ended up swapping to one plus
I had the same problem. I found LCD touch screen in Amazon but I didn't fast enough for buy. Now they don't have. I only found in China's sites and I don't know this sites. Asus support didn't say where I could find it. I loved the Asus Zenfone ZS570kl but now I hate Asus because they did'nt help me for buy parts.
Does anyone found the screen? Trying to find it in gold for the 5.7" but no luck so far
I had the same problem. My zenfone drops from 1 meter and crack the LCD.
I like so much this phone, but i`m thinking in never buys another ASUS. Spares is fundamentals!
Regards from Brazil!

Screen damaged / chipped

Hey guys,
just noticed that my screen is damaged. Bought the device the 23th May. Can someone relate to?
They say they can't replace the device because I'm contacting after the replacmente period.
Well, I just noticed because I was replacing screen protector. Bullsh*
Unfortunate, but if you didn't notice it for 4 weeks I can't see there's a lot you can do.

looks like to me this is not the screen maybe but the a thin polymer bezel that holds the screen in the frame?
cheers
If you didn't notice something like that in 4 weeks then it must've not been there when the phone came so it's probably your fault. They tend to want to replace the screen in cases like this and ask for a ton of $$$, so imo you should keep it like that if they say that.

That doesn't look like the screen in the picture. It looks like the housing that is chipped. If I'm seeing it correctly that would be hard for you to do yourself. It should be covered under warranty in my opinion.

Yes you're right. I didn't explain myself correctly. I already chatted with them and explained. Monday or Tuesday they'll pick up the phone.
From now on, I'll check carefully every smartphone.
Buy the screen protection plan and then get it replaced or go through squaretrade, in the US OnePlus screen replacement is like 165.00, but for a little chip I don't think it's worth it.

I bought the screen protection plan. But as insomnia77 said and I agree, it's not the screen that's damaged. It's the housing. Must be production problem.
Not trying to be funny buy you DID remove the original screen protector that's pre-applied? Only asking cos that looks like bubbles under a protector?
Never mind, just noticed the chip. That's bad, did you give it a healthy drop?

Lol. No I didn't drop the phone once so far.
And yes, I was applying a new screen protector, after using tempered glass but didn't like it because of the bad accuracy of FP. Luckely I replaced the screen protector so I could notice the damage.

I think this is a "cheap" after sales service.

If it takes too long ask for help on the official OnePlus forums. I've seen them escalate cases. If they don't have the part I would insist on a new replacement.
