Not sure if this thread is legal here, but I'm not selling it (yet). I've got a Xoom dropped it and the glass cracked in a few places. It still works fine, the digitizer works fine, but I've been thinking of upgrading to the TF300T. Would this be worth selling on ebay or in the marketplace? Would anyone buy it with the broken glass? I attempted to repair it myself, but failed. (I didn't know how to get the glass off the plastic housing).
Possibly but not really.. Not alot of people wanna buy a xoom that is broken.. Depending on the model n depending on whether your throwing in a digitizer repair kit may sweeten the deal

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
Dropped my Razr hd over the weekend and cracked the glass. It still works 100% but is annoyingly broken. Has anyone replaced just the glass on one of these? I saw a youtube of the glass removal and its pretty hairy. The LCD/glass combo is over $100 on ebay so I'm not sure what to do. I have insurance through Vzn but they'll send me a replacement with a locked bootloader. Unsure what to do. Any suggestions?
Not sure what the deductible is up to now thru Verizon insurance, but I'm pretty sure it's over $120.
I would buy the LCD/digitizer assembly and replace it myself and keep the unlocked bootloader.
I guess im more interested in just replacing the glass, not the whole LCD. I am eligible for a discounted upgrade and can get the motox for less than the LCD costs. Id like to wait a bit and see the s5 before going that route so im lookig to just get by until then. Anyone just done the glass replacement?
I've changed just the glass myself. And it works perfect. There is a video on utube That just shows the glass getting replaced. Good luck and be careful not to damage the lcd
Alright, well ive ordered a glass screen off ebay, and im going to give it a shot. If i screw it up, ill just get a new phone i guess.
Post pics and keep up updated, please! And, good luck.

I know its to late, but for anyone else out there I myself broke the screen. And I got a new phone through insurance, now instead of sending in the old phone I simply swapped the screens. This would allow you to keep your unlocked device without buying an expensive replacement screen outright.

Well i did it. Not for the faint of heart ill tell you that. It took me about 2.5 hours to get the glass off and i probably should have taken even more time. I dont know if i got it too hot or what but i have a dime sized area that has a yellowish tint. I also have two smallish places that i accidentally scratched up some of the darkening film on top of the lcd. Plus I scratched the hell out of a majority of the lcd. Everything works though, no bad touch areas or dead areas. Id say its marginally better than having the cracked glass.
Good luck if youre going to try this.
well order a htc one, was selling my razr hd xt925 but the glass broken.... digitizer and lcd are ok
anyone in europe that only change the glass??
last time i buy a razr, im not the best person taking care of mobile phone, but this happens in the razr maxx too....
so goodbye motorola
hey so i bought a nexus 7 (2012) from my friends little brother and it has some glass missing and a few cracks along it, about 2.5/5ths of the screen is where the cracks are and the screen will not work, the LCD itself looks like its not broken but the area where the crack and below is unresponsive. sooooo im not sure what i need to buy, i see that some devices have the digitizer built into the lcd what that happen to be with my device? im not sure yet what i should buy, do i need a new digitizer or a lcd as well? if anyone has any links, i would really love to buy them on amazon or maybe ebay if the price is right.
Bump?
