i have had my phone apart and im not quite sure how to seperate the screen from the chassis. out of curiosity i once looked up th screen to see what comes with it hoping there was a whole assembly but there wasn't much. it looks like a delicate operation to change the screen. most of the disassembly is very easy but the screen is something i wont try unless i need to, it looks risky.
Looks like this is your best option really. Just replace it all.

The same thing happened to my spare 37" flat screen when my brother was moving it. That really sucked.
Unfortunately I did the same thing last night. My screen cracked when it landed face down on the tile. My problem is that I have a warranty exchange for the shutdown issue coming in a couple of days. Now I have to call AT&T and tell them I dropped the phone and the warranty is void. Or maybe I could just send it as is and try to blame it on the mailing process. I don't want to take a chance on it though.
Amazon or ebay it'll run ya around 80$

A Blessing in disguise
Well I got off the phone with AT&T...apparently they have no proof of my last upgrade in there system and my contract expired on the 8th of December. This also means that they have no record of insurance on my Captivate either. On the plus side...Maybe now I can switch carriers and get myself a Nexus S instead. I'll have to talk it over with the wife. Overall who has had experience with T-Mo? How is their support and service?
I enjoyed my time with T-Mobile except that I never had reliable 3G service indoors. Also I'm a little bitter about how they handle porting service out (they charge you a full month of service when you port out unless you call them to cancel after the port).
You could always port your number over and switch back to the Death Star within 30 days if you don't like the Nexus S....
There was a guy who did this several months ago with his Captivate. Posted pictures and everything. Seemed like a very good tutorial.
somehow i cracked my touchscreen you can barely notice it but knowing its there bugs me. anyone know where i can buy just the digitizer everywhere i look its lcd+digitizer,
or is that not possible?
thanks
It usually comes as a unit can't buy just the digitizer as they are mounted together if I am not mistaken. That is how the Blackberry Torch was as well. They are not easy to replace.

I just picked up a JIG from Josh. Good stuff. I think you can also send him your device and he can replace it. Or you can purchase the digitizer from him and put it in your self I don't think the install is THAT bad. Just gotta be careful and pay attention.
Hello all,
The glass cover on my sidekick got broken accidentally. The LCD works fine.
I'm planning to get a replacement front panel glass.
I found the following link on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tmobile-Sam...ultDomain_0&hash=item2c605f3c7e#ht_2045wt_905
Is this an original OEM part as described? After it's replaced will it work as good as the original?
Any other options other than the above ebay link?
Please help!
Regards,
sammydude
God only knows. It'll probably work though.
Sorry this is late, but the ribbin cable and glass seem to be just like the original. Let us know how it went.

How did you break it? I'm asking only because I know this is a pretty durable phone, I've already dropped it screen first on gravel, without a scratch to show of it.
This looks legit to me. Digitizer is the key word. I've replaced many of these on different phones. As long as it's a ditizer for the correct phone model number. Are you doing this yourself? There should be some good tutorials on disassembly on youtube.

@AFAinHD It was bizarre! My watch was on a chair. My wife threw my watch onto the bed saying "here it is. keep it ". The metal part of the watch fell on the mobile (the bevel part of the glass). You could imagine our shock after that!!

Not planning to do this myself. There's a good servicing person (freelancer) for all kinds of mobiles. Planning to give it to him.
Thank you all for your replies! Planning to go for it. Will let you all know how it went! Just hope I'm able to get it back to its original condition. Hmmm...

I don't think she could have hit it more perfectly.

I replaced mine a couple months ago but I had to replace the digitizer too. It cost ~$160 for a replacement but process was easy. It's been working great ever since. I don't know if it's possible to replace the glass without replacing the digitizer.

yep. I'm going to try just the glass and see. it's only $15 and there are plenty of u-tube vids to help. worst case I will upgrade. just can't decide between the SG4 or the HTC one.
I have a repair guide for this somewhere, I'll post when I find it.
Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone on here has broken there back glass and managed to get it replaced? I pulled my phone out of my pocket a couple days ago and when i looked at it the back cover was shattered. i have no idea what happened. I didn't drop my phone and i don't remember anything hitting my pocket but i figure somehow i must have bumped it. At any rate I purchased a spigen case to cover it up and it looks fine. I'd be able to live with it with the exception that i have a crack going over each of my camera lenses resulting in some distorted pictures. So anyway, short story long, I'm pretty sure that i'm just going to order a replacement back from ebay and attempt the replacement myself. I'm fairly confident from the video's that I've watched that i can handle it ok. If not then oh well I guess. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Has anyone else done this repair and have any information or advice that would be useful. Just curious and figure it's worth asking first. Thanks in advance
I am quite lucky to even after it several falls.carefully replace it good luck .
Only a few people I saw had their back glass shattered. And I think most of them had replaced it either in the service center or got a replacement unit.

Be careful before buying. If you buy any duplicate one, your camera won't be good.

I'll try to find a good one, unfortunately all of the replacements seem to be from China. That being said the camera is already dink'd up from the cracks so I'm not too worried about it. Thanks!

I will. I just ordered a back including the fingerprint sensor this morning. I'm not expected to have it until sometime around September 6th. I ordered from this ebay link, we'll see how it goes. Worse case I'm out $25.
That's okay. But I think Huawei also fixes the back with 100% guaranteed that everything will be fine.
