So my sister dropped her brand new Captivate today and there is a crack in the LCD. The digitizer is spotless, no scratches or cracks, however I know that its next to impossible to replace just the AMOLED. Any suggestions on where to get an OEM quality replacement?

I've bought from them before: service is good, shipping is fast and product is OEM.
The digitizer assembly would include the actual glass correct? Of course my inquiry is less urgent as op's since I just want to get rid of some scratches
i cant find only glass , may be your find?
arnt the glass and the LCD glued together to form one uniform piece?

It's possible to change only digitizer?
No, its not posible to change only the glass. And good luck finding a screen in stock that actually works. I had a screen i replaced fail and seen many stories of refurbs with screen issues if you have good luck let me know because i still have one infuse that needs a screen. When buying the second screen for it (the company i got the first one from was very un cooperative) they didn't have one in stock but decided not to tell me that till i complained... i got fed up and bought another infuse for about the same price. There should be a few available in the xda market place.
I'm trying to find somewhere decent that carrys parts for the skyrocket that isn't stupid expensive, i know these digitizer lcd combos aren't all 180+$
my lcd is fine, so what im wondering if anyone has torn one of these bad boys apart, or if they only make the combos.
Any suggestions for websites that have digitizers for the skyrocket would make my day!
Dropped my phone last night, cracked digitizer...derp
same situation on my old black skyrocket... just a digitizer would be nice
So, has anybody been able to find the outer glass only? I can't order the $200 digitizer+lcd... makes no sense...
Prices have gone down a little, they're at 150 now, Google mengtor

I have also been looking everywhere for just a glass/digitizer as I also cracked my glass from a drop after hours of looking around it seems they are still about $150 at the cheapest...

If you can't find a cheap digitizer, you could maybe part it out on eBay and then just buy a whole phone used.
Does anyone know where I can get a main rear camera for this?
Hey y'all. I dropped my white SR a while back and repaired the screen myself. I used http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/samsung-skyrocket-sgh-i727/
They have the best prices on parts that I could find. You can do it all yourself too. Just google instructions for replacing the parts.
To repair the LCD/digitizer, you have to replace the entire front, not just the glass. It's an all in one unit, that's why it's so expensive. I followed these instructions: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1758028-How-To-replace-I727-screen
Yup. The digitizer and its circuitry are attached to the screen (glass) with some wicked adhesive. Its an all-in-one piece that is also glued into the carriage. It comes out from the front. Just replaced mine last night lol.

I have found a craigslist post in my area saying there letting go there phone for $250. In the post they continue to say that only the screen is cracked. A picture they posted shows the phone on with cracks on the screen.
I have emailed them and they replied that if it doesn't sale they will just repair it, because it only cost $18 (this concerns me, why not just repair on such an expensive phone)
My questions: is it worth it?? Also what questions do you think I should ask? And if I meet them in person what should I look for?
Thanks in advanced xda folks!

My friend cracked the glass on his and the screen won't even turn on. I called the phone and it rang but the screen wouldn't light up and the digitizer wouldn't register touches. So I'd stay away.
I have seen replacement screens on eBay for $20 or so, but I believe that the digitizers are glued to the screen.
If you can't cleanly separate the two, you're probably in for the cost of a replacement combo ... about $200.
Still cheaper than a new one outright ...

I've seen replacement screens on ebay for maybe $15-20 but to replace it seems rather difficult: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70-W9JjVjg&feature=relmfu.
It's really up to you whether it's worth it or not. If you're up for the challenge of replacing the screen (or if you think you can live with the crack, you didn't mention how bad it is) then go for it. If not, I'd probably stay away as this doesn't exactly seem like an easy fix.
Try lowering his price to 200$ then send it in to Samsung they will charge about 190$ to replace it. The digitizer is glued to glass and u won't be able to separate and put on new glass.

It may not be broken but its all one unit.. my guess is they already know this or they would have gotten it fixed themselves
Replacement screens are about 18-20 but replacing them is very difficult because of the adhesive that bonds them... Dont't buy it.. you would have to buy a new bezel with the screen and digitizer attatched to it. about 200-250 itself..A shop around me does it but they said it would be 300 plus labor..
If you can get it at a decent price and can replace the screen cheaply then i would say go for it.

Where did u get that quote I have a broken gs3 and best option is Samsung 180 shipped and returned. OP did the phone need bezel replaced? Here is my damaged phone not one scratch on bezel landed perfectly flat and the SGP case doesn't offer much protection over the screen its almost flush. If it was under or roughly 160-180 plus 180 screen replacement sub 400 gs3 good price.

I live in the Twin cities area of Minnesota... Its a local shop that does all kinds of phones.. But that's what they quoted me.. since it was a such a new phone
I unfortunately dropped and broke the screen on my phone. Is this all I need to replace it? http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-s-glass-lens.html
Unfortunately no. The screen and digitizer are fused together. I've seen some talk about ways of separating using heat but there's a high failure rate busting the digitizer too. I'm in the same boat. Actually deciding to bite the bullet or wait for Nexus 4 to come in stock.

I cracked the screen on my N5 and planning replace the LCD and digitizer together. The LCD is fine but I've read separating the two is very difficult so I'm just going to suck it up and buy the whole fused unit. My question being is their a noticeable difference in quality in the replacement units? I have found the from $88 up to $150. If they are all the same I just go with the best price.
Example: this one on ebay says its OEM for $88 http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-LCD-Dis...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3a899bddcf
Amazon has an OEM for $145

Just looking for anyone with experience buying a replacement screen and how the quality was.
I would buy the one from the bottom because it comes with the frame and i think it's legit because read the reviews. It is also the white screen version of the nexus they have. Read the reviews
