Hi,
I approached the TVS E-Sevicetec, which is the authorised HTC Service Center in India last week for the same thing along with the batery replacement of my vox. The guy quoted a whopping 3300/- INR for full body replacement and 1700/- INR for frontal body replacement. He also personally suggested me not to replace the body merely because the mmc and usb rubber covers are damaged (Thats so strange you see, you dont get those seperately. Those 2 things are as small as ****, and you need to replace the whole goddamned body for that).
In my personal opinion, I'd suggest you carry on with the phone without any further investment as long as it works. The replacement parts are extremely costly and isnt readily available even at the service center. My vox's battery took 27days to arrive after placeing an order.
Regards,
Akash.

Hi,
Doe anyone know how much do the HTC charges for replacing the LCD of HTC Sensation in UK? I have asked them but they dont reveal upfront and asked me to send the handset to be examined by technician, then they will send me a quote and if i dont want to go further they will charge me £25 to send the handset back.
also pl. let me know if there are any cheap repair centers in UK?
Thanks

I had a broken LCD on my sensation, After looking through many sites, i got an approx repair charge of around £150 - £180 via HTC repairs.
There are some local repair shops that will do it for around £50 - £80... Which is a massive saving...But there is a chance they could cause more damage because its a tricky job and they are not qualified HTC repairmen so if it goes wrong...Bad luck I also doubt they will be using genuine HTC parts so that too could affect performance.
There are DIY Kits on ebay for around £60 delivered if you feel capable of doing it yourself. These adverts state they ARE genuine HTC parts.
There are several how-to videos on youtube so if you feel confident and have a steady hand and patience.... this would be best option.
Otherwise you could try to claim on some sort of insurance if you have it...
Finally, I dont recommend this but ive heard it works Take a picture of a NON broken HTC screen, And a picture of Your back showing YOUR IMEI no. then send it off for repair due to some bull**** excuse..
When it comes back, blame the broken screen on them, And show them the pictures you took saying 'this is how it looked before i sent it for repair'
Like i said,, Thats NOT recommended and the guilt shall haunt you forever !!!!

Hello!
I live in Japan but I bought an unlocked phone from Amazon, so it is very hard to find a place to do repairs and I was thinking about doing it myself.
It fell down and the glass cracked (picture attached). The LCD screen is ok, so I just need the digitizer and I want to know what to consider when buying one.
(I have no idea what I am doing )
Please send links to ebay items (or from anywhere that ships to Japan) that you think are ok.
Thanks!!

I know, but the only other option is to send my phone to the US to get repairs, and they won't even ship internationally, so i would need someone in the us to ship it back to me (which i don't have), and i don't know if i would have to pay taxes again, so it is a lot easier to just change the screen myself.
It is a bummer, but what else can I do? (Seriously, I am asking...)
I don't know specifically about the z3 but for most new phones the digitizer is glued to the lcd screen and is a real pain to remove - you have to heat it carefully using heat gun/blow dryer and it's a delicate process of removing the glass from the lcd. In Canada the repair costs around $200 from authorized Sony repair center. Have you called Sony mobile support? I'm sure they have a repair center in Japan that they could direct you to...

I did call them and there is no official Sony repair center in Japan.
It's because in Japan you can't just buy an unlocked phone, all phones are sold by the phone companies, there isn't a Sony store, so only the phone companies provide the repairs, but they won't take mine exactly because it is a unlocked version.
I bought mine unlocked on Amazon because I am going back to my country this year and I didn't want a locked phone.
I got an estimate of 5200 yen to replace the glass, which is around 50 usd, so I am really sad because the price difference between the spare part and the actual repair is very small.

If I may say, $50 is not bad at all considering Sony would charge you to replace the whole LCD unit ($150 - $200)... on the other hand I wish Sony would do what Google does and replace one broken screen free of charge (or so I hear).
Good luck.
Dear friends,
I accidentally dropped my Xolo Q3K and although it had the original flip-cover, the glass cracked from lower right corner.
I dont hold the flip cover guilty in this case.
But when I inquired in the Xolo service center, they are saying that the PCB and touch screen are a bundle and costs 5500+service tax ~ 6000 Rs.
I inquired at local shop, they are also saying around 3500 Rs.
I searched ebay, etc and only glass is being sold there cheaply for around 800-1000 Rs.
Is it possible to replace only upper glass and not the full PCB+glass?
Does anyone have any idea about this?
Secondly, can anyone please tell me if there is a spare screen available from any source? I am ready to buy.
Thanks,
Nihar.

hello, i recently cracked my z3's screen digitizer, and i intend to replace the whole screen assembly, since replacing the digitizer only sounds like an extremely hard task.
i have gone through aliexpress, amazon/ebay us.uk sites, but i can't find a trustworthy OEM seller, they're all either aftermarket refurbished or completely defective fake .
so can anyone please tell me from where can i order online to get an OEM parts for my phone ? getting local repair is out of the question, they want to charge me 300$ and sony authorized re seller wants 350$....
please, any suggestion would be helpful .
I bought the screen digitizer from etrade supply. I will have someone attempt to replace 4-5 days from now. I'll let you know how it goes.
thank you !!!
Hi to all,
I noticed that this phone has an outer glass just over the LCD screen and mine has broken after a little fall. I can't find in Italy a service for repairing as the phone comes from abroad and is out of Eu-warranty.
So I looked for a replacement in order to fix it by myself: I find a lot of "screen with frame", but as I place the order they send me back my money as "the item is no longer available" or something regarding a QC test not passed.
So then I can't find a replacement. Someone could help me to find it? And someone knows if there are any video about how to repair the screen of my Axon 10 pro (5G version)?
Thanx to all
This device has been EOL form zte for a while now, not only that its an obscure device, barely anyone knows about, so thats how much the supply chain cares for it, im not surprised you cant find replacement parts unfortunately, in the usa(my case) they are easy to find https://www.ebay.com/itm/2032431306...H8XLDWck4L_vI4a7gAYLUjTlKcuEdZOYaAmxEEALw_wcB .

Look on ebay.de - in germany spare parts are plentyful by now. 150 for the full display, 20 for the glass (beware that doing a glass replacement is hard...)
