Few days back my galaxy sl dropped from running bike and the LCD broken, also earlier i was having problem with soft keys and the man at samsung service center told me that the whole front panel must be changed, costing around Rs.6000.
After the phone dropped i checked it with my friends LCD screen and everything was working.
Tell me that is there any cheaper option available, as spending Rs.6000 is worthless because the phone is already 2 year old and i would buy a new phone in that price.... Is there any local or cheap lcd available which may be used for sometime???
Front lcd? Are you sure it is not the touchscreen digitizer? Usually when people drop the phone the touchscreen gets broken and not the lcd. The digitizer costs around 7 and 14 dolars in ebay with free shipping. Check if you need the lcd (what you see) or the digitizer (what you touch)

1) wifi network is detected but when i try to connect to wifi network it hangs and restart every time.
2) no mobile network is detected.
3) display is little bit dull
4) heats up quickly
5) it showing headphone is connected always,speakers works sometimes
but it is charging and i can connect it to the computer. rest all are works fine
i again gave it back to service center they told me that we have to replace the motherboard and display.
which will cost me 18500INR (11500 INR for board & 7000 INR for lcd) almost 307.914 US Dollar.

$307.91 + Other posssible LCD, Headphones issues are not worth it for a $350 - 400 phone.

Ok, My bad.
Well, still more than 85% of original cost but they will put OEM parts. I just hope the headphone jack is ok.
but 307 better than 400. go ahead

The cost of the phone in India is $485 (Rs.29000) for the 16 gig model and $550 (Rs.33000) for the 32gig model
So the $300 bill which they are charging is correct...

Since you say that the LCD is working fine... Why is LG saying that it needs to be replaced as well??
With all these altercations, selling the phone as a "whole" is out of question (legally).. You could try to sell the parts individually but it's going to be difficult and surely a long wait
So I would surely recommend you to buy a new one m8... Sorry for your loss..

thanks @vin4yak for the price clarification.
In this case, I would send it to repair and sell it for a fair price later on (if possible to get more than 307) Then buy a waterproof phone to avoid this incident. if you think it's not possible to sell for more than what they charge to repair, just keep it for you or
Don't spend any more money and time with it.

yea that's the good idea sir, i'll repair that phone and sell it if possible and buy a new nexus 5 because i like this phone very much ..
simple design, neat and clean Android..
the service center people also told me that warranty continues if i replace the motherboard..

Hello,
I need to change my faulty z1c (D5503) screen (lcd + digitizer) for the 2d time in a few months (broken screen in the 1st time, water damage + alcohol isoprop ... in the 2d time) and choose the right seller.
I checked on the market + this forum and here are my findings :
1) Witrigs (100 US dollars, so quite expensive) http://www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-with-digitizer-for-sony-xperia-z1-compact
2) Stellatech (quite expensive - 100 EUR) : http://stellatech.com/sony-xperia-z...lete-display-lcd-touchscreen,a,en,816110.html
3) Aliexpress : (24 us dollars ...) : http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-..._73_74_75,searchweb201527_3,searchweb201560_9
Could anyone tell me if the 3) can be as good as the first 2 ?
Cheers to all

Can you share a pic of your Z1C with this screen pls?
i've got some through a dutch shop, costing me 77Eur, seems to me that it isn't exactly same as original sony as colors were quite different (too much saturated/red).
now it's only WITH a frame, not sure if that's easier to deal with for repair:
http://telecom2day.com/sony/sony-xp...ay-lcd-unit-met-frame-sony-xperia-z1-compact/
ps, aliepress is not fast in delivering stuff, so if you want it before the end of the year, better look somewhere else
I bought this one and mounted it myself, and i have'nt noticed any difference in quality from the original display. Just make sure to watch a video tutorial on how to change it.
Adhesive tape and correct tools was not included, but ordered from china.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221822457294?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Some how, I got unlucky and touch input broke down on me. Tried a lot,but phone is written off now. Went to nexus 5x and happy.
I bought a display from ebay for 30$, and it is working great. Not original though, but have'nt noticed any difference at all. Been using it for 3 months without a single problem.
It was this one: http://m.ebay.com/itm/UK-Touch-Disp...i-Compact-M51w-D5503-/221822457294?nav=SEARCH
To people who ordered from ebay: Which glue did you buy?
And what does it mean "no frame" ? Do you need to salvage this 'frame' from your broken screen?
I just broke my screen. Dropped it from 20cm at just the right angle I guess I've been doing some research, looks like you can't replace only the digitizer without special tools?
I've got mine from Ebay, it came with glue also. It has the same colors like the original one and it's working flawless for 5 months now.
Here is the link for the display I've bought.
Hello,
let me throw another hat in the ring: I bought my screen assembly from parts4repair, they sell them starting at 32 €. I bought the one for 42 €, as it is supposed to be the original replacement part. I did not realize any different colors. Delivery took about 6 weeks and packaging was really good (stable, well protected).
In another thread I already posted about this little project, here it is again:
I did completely disassemble my Z1compact recently and replaced back housing and the screen, using adhesive stickers (they were even said to be the original, real deal. I cleaned the contact areas with cleaning alcohol prior to reassembling the phone, so everything was just as intended). Everything worked fine, looked just as new - but after only 2 days, the adhesive did already start to loosen again in different areas!
I told a friend of mine about the problem (he fixes mobile phones the whole day long, as a profession), and he answered that they never use the stickers, but a special kind of silicone! The important part is, that it is a silicon which hardens without releasing acid (normally acetic acid is fumed out), so the electronic circuits do not become damaged. I bought one like this: Silicon Adhesive and everything worked fine It's been two months now and there are no problems, it's even water proof again.
Some comments: The silicone needs at least 24h to harden, I placed my phone under 4 heavy books in order to apply steady pressure during that time. That may have been a little bit too heavy, however, because the screen is a little bit lower than before and I can see small, somewhat "lighter" areas right where the contacts of the screen are, just the kind like pressing your finger on a lcd display too much. So better use only 2 books during hardening the silicone
Happy tinkering!
I got the same problem with my phone - I broke digitizer on my weekend trip... I don't know guys if it's an option for you, but in Poland you can replace screen much cheaper:
https://www.w-support.pl/klienci-indywidualni/koszt-naprawy.html (sorry, it's in polish... w-support is official Sony service - whole screen replacement costs 399 PLN (less than 100€)
If you want to do it yourself - you can look at our biding service - allegro:
http://allegro.pl/listing/listing.php?order=m&string=d5503+lcd&search_scope=category-19285&bmatch=base-relevance-w2-ele-1-3-0812
I bought LCD with digitizer, tools and glue for about 200PLN (less than 50€) and the seller claims it's an original one... Of course there may be some problems with foreign shipment but I think it shall work in EU for most of the sellers.
I let you know in a few day - I am waiting for delivery right now...

I just bought a 30E sceen from ebay and it pretty bad because of the gamma levels...tried to adjust with white balance and it got a bit better..but still nowhere near as good as the original. For a 30euro screen i think i'll live with it..

I'm too from Poland and price for LCD replacing is...funny. Trying to find cheapest LCD to make it working for 2 months.. Any suggestions?

Yeah, that's great!
I made a post HERE about a water damaged screen, long story short after buying two cheap screens online and sending them both back for a refund because I wasn't happy with either of them I bit the bullet and sent my phone to Sony for a genuine OEM replacement to be fitted. Neither of the cheap screens came with the ASF and didn't have the foam that was attached to the back of my original.

you must really love your z1c to pay that money,hope you enjoy it!

A few People have said to me just buy a new one, but I do love it and want to keep it to use as my spare when I finally do, I want another Compact but the last few just haven't done it for me. It's killed me using my old Xperia Ray this last week and still have another week and a half to go. Going to flash GB to it this weekend and see if that makes it more bearable.

The first screen had lifted a little so that made me question the adhesive too, from reading online I then thought it was because I hadn't cleaned the frame properly, so made sure I had before laying the second screen, but that eventually started to lift too. I found the same as you in regards to the screen, the colours just weren't right and had to use full brightness which then obviously chews through the battery. I even reflashed my phone to see if that made a difference, as we know there are two different panels used I thought maybe when the phone gets reflashed it may configure it for the display that's attached but it didn't.
If the X Compact had a better spec I would have bought it and a cheap screen for the Z1C as that would be going in the wardrobe along with the Arc S and Ray hopefully never to be seen again for another 50 years, but as it's going to be my daily for a little while longer I just want it perfect.
UPDATE:
Just heard back from Sony today and not good news. First of all they emailed me to say a quote was available to view in my support which basically said it was uneconomical to repair and offered an equivalent phone for a cost of £250+, baffled by their quote and comments I then got straight on the phone as all my Z1C needs to function is a screen , the operator told me to get the phone back to a guaranteed status the technician had wanted to replace more parts. To a degree I can see where they are coming from but having already had two screens on with no issues other than the poor quality of them it's quite annoying.
So as my hand has been forced a screenless Z1C will be going on ebay as soon as I get it back, and I'll be ordering a Z5C tonight.
I managed to drop my xperia z5 on the exact corner it had been fallen on and repaired before... So it broke again despite the cover :crying: The touch doesn't work anymore with the broken glass bottom right corner.
It still had 3 defects from the previous fall, bottom speaker is dead, the vibrating function is broken and the fingerprint scanner is dead. It was the only time it fell since I owned the device and it instantly broke from less than half a meter on concrete in a cover so I bet it breaks again if I let it fix and the same happens.
The cheapest local phone repair store will repair only the screen for 185 euro's and idk how much the other repairs would cost if I were to let that be repaired too since vibration function is quite a good function.
Given I can get back 100 euro's for the broken device as discount on a new phone it's also a bit appealing.
A fully functional 2nd hand xperia z5 goes for about 300 euro's and a brand new xperia x compact is 450 euro's on release day, normal X is 466
I really can't decide what to do, an xperia X isn't really an upgrade but money doesn't grow on my back though so X performance is too pricy at 637 euro's.
What would you do? or what should I do

Hello,
I just got my hands on a used SM-T700 with a cracked display. The touchscreen digitizer is fine, only the display underneath is cracked.
I looked around on ebay and aliexpress, but couldn't find any acceptable price.
Since I can buy a working used device for 150 to 200 €, there is no point in paying the same amount for just the display itself.
So I wondered if someone knows a place with fair prices for the whole display unit or has a bricked device with a working display laying around?
