Does anyone know if it's possible to buy a replacement LCD and digitizer unit that is pre-assembled? I need to replace the digitizer on my phone, but I'm a but overwhelmed by the process of removing and reinstalling the digitizer from the LCD. So I was hoping to just buy the two as a unit and avoid dealing with the adhesives. Anyone know if they are sold liked this?
I'm out of warranty at this point so I'm on my own for the repair.
Thanks!!
You can get the assembly from eBay for $60-70. It's a pretty easy swap.

I just went through the process of fixing my screen about 2 weeks ago. Good luck!

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.

borken glass
so ye i was clutz and dropped my phone and is cracked through out. looks like the screen is fine behind the glass. so my question is where should i go to replace the glass particularly in the gta area? i heard samsung doesnt do a great job. any hellp is appreciated thank you
I did mine myself and have had no problems since. There's a youtube on dismantling the phone that can walk you through it if you're not comfortable doing this kind of thing. The only real problem is the money... the cheapest I was able to find a replacement for was $170 on ebay. But, the seller was reputable, and the replacement was new. The issue is the fact that the glass, digitizer and LCD are made as one piece. I have an extra bezel/backpanel from attempting to extract the broken glass from the LCD. Only the bezel/backpanel survived. Its still better than paying sombody $250 to do it for you. Unless you have insurance that is...

thank you for your response. i managed to find someone to do it for 180
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.

If you can talk him down some and just pay Sammy... Most definitely.

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 dropped my HTC Thunderbolt a month ago after I upgraded to a S3 :laugh: and wanted to get around to fix it up so I can sell it off. Googled a bit but having some issues deciding wether to get a LCD Display Screen Replacement or the Touch Screen Digitizer. The phone's touchscreen still works fine and phone functions perfectly normally just the screen has a crack in it that I can physically feel. I was going to buy a the screen replacement but wan't to make sure I buy the right product to fix this and If anyone can link the item I need if not this one I would greatly appreciate it
If the screen still works, you need the digitizer. If you're not too savvy with electronics, I would suggest getting the lcd+digitizer combo.

Just about every digitizer in Amazon has about a 2.5 star review. Paying $65 for the combo set is kind of not worth it seeing the phone fixed would sell for $100~ making it only a $40 gain.
Hey guys,
After a year and a half of no case on my U11, with it safely in my pocket, I bumped into the couch and the back glass cracked.
Any ideas whether this is repairable, or if they will just replace it (sprint)? Just want to know for backup purposes.
Is it safe to assume that she is no longer waterproof?
Sent from my 2PZC5 using Tapatalk
It is repairable but to find the back case is going to be hard and if you do find one it will be expensive. I've seen a YouTube video that shows a U11 tear down. Good luck.
Thanks man. I am wondering more whether Sprint is likely to repair or replace. I have insurance on it, and it's a lease, so I don't plan to self repair.

I remember HTC had a pretty good warranty a few years back and they would repair broken screens but that stopped because it was just a losing deal for HTC. I tried using Asurion to replace my U11 when I thought it was bricked but they would have sent me a Google Pixel 2 as replacement after I paid the $175 deductible.
Google witrig . it is a china store that sells OEM parts and ship internationally.
I fixed my u11 in under an hour. Getting the part on eBay is what I did, I have the solar red and was able to find parts quite quickly and replace and reseal the new screen and back glass in under an hour. I repaired mobile devices for over 3 years and I will say this HTC is not that bad compared to the HTC 10 to fix especially if you're just putting new glass on the back. Just use good water proof adhesive and red tape ( Amazon or eBay has all of it ) also look at ifixit they have lots of videos, the back glass is just like a Samsung device. Cut it off. Seal down a new one
2 post above are good leads!
2 things to add =>
1. Order from China= patients for packet arrival (CAN take up to 2 month's, so 2 month's of shaming with broken cover)
2. Patients and staddy hands when replacing the cover. I spend 20 euro on a guy at the local mobile shop who has both skills.
Kind regards,
