Hi all,
Due to a bad drop off the 2nd. floor balcony to the street under, my i9003's display got cracked. Everything except the display (blank, black) was working fine, I could hear it ring when someone called.
I visited the authorized sammy service centre nearby and they inspected the phone. The entire display part (which has a pcb stuck to it and non-removable) needed to be replaced. All other things including the mainboard and back casing were ok.
They gave an estimate of Rs.7000 (US$ 140). Today I called and they said, your device is ready, total bill would be Rs.7000+4% VAT=Rs.7280
I wonder it is the exact price they gave estimate for... something fishy? Any inputs if I am being overcharged? Did anyone here go with a display change before?
TIA
On physical there is no warranty. U have to pay to them.

Yes, I'm fully aware of it. My question is: are they charging right for the replaced part and labour charges?

I went to Barrackpore...closest to me. I rarely go to the hustling and bustling proper Kolkata... it's tiring!
@Anyone: If you have contacts with a sammy service center (or even an employee), kindly confirm the cost of the display part.
Tatz strange I had my display replaced freely only a month back following the phone falling onto the tiles! But the display was working, ABCs the touch was not! I told them since morning it's like this and they changed it in an hour while I was in India for Diwali! luckily this happened while I was there.

I guess that's because you do not have physical evidence of damage, still the OP got charged 140USD is pretty steep >_<. I guess I should not drop the phone.
Sounds about right for official service. In Malaysia a cracked display + glass will incur about RM350, do the maths.
They are charging right , offcourse it is more amount to pay if you compare to local market. In DELHI if you went to GAFAR market(India largest mobile market) then you will get your display from 1.5k to 4.5k depending upon build quality.
Just check local market first if you didn't paid.

I think you would get it done within 4.5-5K in Bangalore. The AMOLED screen WITH some lights costed 7K for a friend of mine in Bangalore...Only screen should obviously be nearly 4.5 - 5K ...That's it~! Not more
Well, they said that the entire LCD Assy needed to be replaced as it comes in a sealed monoblock part which houses the top cover, gorilla glass, touch buttons, the lcd, sensors like proximity, light and front cam all on a pcb stuck to the lcd. In fact if you imagine total front part including the metallic rim, that is all the LCD assy holds.
The back cover, main assembly and mother board were OK.
I dug up a service manual and confirmed the part number: QFR01 (GH97-11829A)
Thanks everyone for your inputs... I guess there is no scope of saying anything to the service center guys as they have already completed the repairing... But still, I'll bluff them about friends getting that done for 5.5k! LOL

i gt replaced within 5 mis.. they charged me 5400rs
Update: Finally received it from the service center. Looks spanky new! Seems they replaced the main body frame too. Billed me Rs.7200. The senior tech wasn't there then and could not talk for a discount...
Came home, fired kies and updated to official GB I've been waiting for!
Guys, suggest you take care about not cracking the display... it really makes a hole in the wallet...

I guess you missed the opportunity to upgrade you device. I guess paying 7.5K for the device is waste becuase you can not resell the device with atleast a little profit. My advice is dont change. But a new phone like galaxy nexus from US (15 to 17K)

Display problem
I sleep with my phone besides me....I might have rolled over it in sleep real bad today and in the morning I see the display showing red strips in bright areas of the screen...Eg.Google search bar, Keypad, etc...
I asked at a phone repair shop it costs 4.5k(Samsung original) wheras Samsung service center quoted a price of 6950Rs somthing...
Can anyone judge what the problem might be...Do i need to get a new display panel....?
please HELP!
I have tried to take snap shots of the Screen...Attached
u r being charged too much i got my screen fixed in rs 5600 from the service center
i had the same problem
I just found out today that the problem comes n goes away...the display becoms normal for a while n then again goes back to being patchy red....
Hi. I recently purchased a Chinese 6 inch phone from Chinavasion.com and the screen was 6 inches big. So, my little one got her hands on it and dropped it and broke the screen. I was told in CV.com that I had warranty for a yr so I wrote them. They replied that warranty doesn't cover repairs and that the best they can do is for me to send it in and if they can repair they would but if they couldn't,there would be no compensation. Seeing how they work,I am thinking they will tell me that they couldn't repair and keep the phone and resell after they do repair in fact. My question is,does anyone know where can I find replacement screen for chinese touchscreen phones? I contacted them and they said they don't have screens. SO if they don't have, and warranty doesn't cover repair,I basically through $200+ out the window and now I just dump the phone in the garbage??????
search in local market an mobile shops .. hit thanks if i helped

BRO
I FIXED MY DIGITIZER FOR JUST 600
500 DIGITIZER COST + 100 LABOR Charges
... AND IT IS FLAWLESS ..
INITIALLY I WAS THINKING LIKE ACCORDING TO THE COST THE QUALITY DIFFERS BUT ITS NOT THE CASE ...
ONLY TWO QUALITIES
ORIGINAL (OG) U WILL GET THAT IN SERVICE CENTER'S
AND COMPATIBLE , AVAILABLE IN LOCAL MARKETS
SO IF U ARE GOING TO FIX IT WITH COMPATIBLE TRY TO BARGAIN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.....BUT I DIDNT BARGAIN THOUGH BECAUSE I GOT IT FOR 500 :laugh: CHEERS
3/4 of the LCD screen has gone black but touch is responsive
3/4 of the LCD screen has gone black but touch is responsive . Do you know any shop in Bangalore that would replace the LCD only?
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.

I dropped my Lenovo p2, accidently. Although the glass did not crack, the screen has stopped responding to touches in a particular area, in the shape of a horizontal band (about 1 cm width). Does anyone know what could have been damaged and how much it would cost to replace/repair? My phone is still under warranty. Please advise.
Not sure if drops are covered under warranty, also no idea how much it would cost to have it replaced at a repair shop.
I do know that you can buy a replacement digitizer including screen and frame on aliexpress for about 80-90 euros. I bought one a few days ago as my screen did crack when I dropped my phone.
Few weeks ago one of my friend accidentally dropped the lenovo p2 3gb ram variant. Display got completely shattered and there was no light in display. When he goes to service centre (Delhi, India) and asked for digitizer they said that they don't have one in any store in delhi and asked him to exchange his phone with lenovo k5 note.

Glass piece that is attached to the LCD is the digitizer.
Most smartphone these days come with attached digitizer with lcd.
