I broke my TF300 screen and the screen is cracked and unresponsive. I was wondering if there are any websites where I could mail my tablet in and get it repaired, or just take it into a store in NYC and get it repaired. I would use the ASUS service but they quoted me $250 and considering I bought the tablet for 300, its not worth it to me.

You don't think you're up to the task? Scores of amateurs have resorted to self-help and passed the test with flying colors. Ain't that hard, just some patience.

Hi all,
I may get my mother-in-laws broken 24Hr old TF300 with a broken screen to attempt repair, However cannot find any place to buy a replacement screen.
In Australia the Screen costs $250 according to the local sub-contractor for Asus. Asus don't repair the tablets in-house they have to be shipped to Sydney.
Anyone know of anywhere to buy online as yet? As that is twice the price I have seen quoted for the US.

At the end what happened? Did you bought that screen from eBay? Was it difficult to replace?
Thanks for your feedback, I broke my screen 2 weeks ago and Im facing the same problem.

Hey Guys,
My tablet slipped out of my bag this morning and I cracked the screen :crying: ... I've been googling around for any form of screen repair / replacement but I couldn't find much on google... what are my options now?
Just to add some details, the touch screen still works & I did not notice any distortion in the colours... so it might just be a case of broken screen.

I have a cracked screen too... I had it in a backpack without it's case, not my proudest moment. I've been looking around trying to find a repair place, but the only thing I've found is this place in San Diego that repairs Asus products. I emailed them asking for a quote, but didn't get a response back. Here's the link: http://www.sandiegopchelp.com/services/tablet-repair/asus/
I think I remember it being about $250 at the Asus repair center. Unfortunately you can't get a quote without sending it in and being held hostage with the shipping charges to get it back if you elect not to repair.
If you bought it at Best Buy the geek squad may have options??
Are you past the 90 days to get a Square Trade warranty?
Good luck.

I'm based in Australia and I just called Asus, they told me the repair would be above $300 which is more than half the price of the tablet and I have to send it to Sydney plus I have to pay for the shipping.

One of their customer feedbacks said "happy with $62 over $300 for a Toshiba tablet screen replacement"

Here in the usa if it happened in your automobile its possible that insurance would pay to replace / repair it
thats just a thought for you....
I repair cracked ipads / iphones but i dont have a source yet for the 700 screens or id send one to you. It also takes a bit of experience - skill - tools to replace a screen right - its beyond easy to cause more damage to the device removing the old one if you are not experienced in doing it.
Its gorilla glass...you cant repair it.....it must be replaced
yes its just the outter cover over the actual display, they are seperate frm each other
it has to be replaced in a hi tech cleanroom.....one spec of dust on that display when applying the new glass and your screwed.....
Worst case scenario.....buy a new one and put the cracked one on ebay for half price

I remember seeing an Asus warranty card that says drop and spill over damage for the Asus TF700T, I have misplaced the card, is there any chance that Asus have that sort of warranty cover?
In the event that I cannot find a 3rd party who is willing to fix my tablet, I found a site: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Asus+Transformer+Infinity+TF+700+Teardown/10306/1 that shows how to teardown a TF700 tablet. I'm just throwing this out there just in case people need similar resources.
So, I have had my Nexus 5 for almost a month now. I bought it from Best Buy in November because sadly I am impatient. I put in my Straight Talk SIM in and all was good, for about 2 weeks. The screen started to have these flickers of red lines. It doesn't matter what app I'm running, or what screen I'm on. It has starting to happen more frequently. I tried to get a replacement from Best Buy(I bought their Geek Squad "Warranty") They basically told me: "You bought a phone with a defect, too bad, pay $150 for us to send it off to get fixed."
Here is a quick video of the problem before it got too bad: youtu[dot]be/SW1DcvwFbHg
In will post the other 2-3 more recent(and nicer) videos in the morning as I do not have access to then atm.
I have tried resetting it and the new update didn't fix the issue.
Do any of you guy know any way that I can get a replacement phone or anything that might help?

Apparently nothing.
If you paid by credit/debit card, contact your bank for a chargeback
My N5 has a cracked screen (just the outer glass -- not the screen itself) and at my age I no longer have the eyesight, dexterity, or patience to do the repair myself. So I am looking at taking it to a repair shop and expect a sizable charge to replace the screen.
So if it's going to cost close to $200 for the repair, maybe I should just order a new one. Mine is a 32Gb, but I would be just as happy with a 16Gb model for $350 (I only got the 32Gb because that was what was still in stock on release day). I could then sell my cracked N5 to someone who could do the repair on the cheap and either have themselves a very nice phone or could resell it.
What could I get for a white 32Gb N5 with cracked front glass? $100? Maybe $150?
Searching around Ebay it looks like people are getting $150-180 for the 32GB model with a cracked screen. Just the screen seems to cost $130-$150, but I would take it to the repair shop and see what they would charge before making a decision.
What country are you in? Look for an LG repair store, they will do it for around $110 if I am not mistaking.

The only convenient repair shop wants $225, so I'll just go ahead and order a new one and then see what I can get for the cracked one.
Call LG I'm sure they will charge less than 200.
Supposedly lg charge 150 believe

$225 is crazy, surely an official LG centre will charge less

Must be REALLY convenient.
With the price of the Nexus 5, I think the cost of the repair is almost pointless...
Even if you don't quite break even with selling the broken one on eBay, you'll have a brand new device with a full warranty and one that wasn't dropped, opened and reassembled. I think you've made the right choice!

Yeah, I didn't realize that having a phone with a cracked screen is actually considered "cool" in some circles, so the ones going on eBay will probably not be repaired. This will work out OK for me and I'll end up with a new phone as you said.
Repair it !!

Authorized and official Lg service center will charge you $150 or less for repairing it.Call Lg help desk once before you are making your decision.
Hey guys I just broke my screen a couple days ago. Looking into prices, stores have told me I'll have to pay around $160 to get it fixed.
Well after searching on eBay I found an LCD for $5 and the touch digitizer for like $80. My touchscreen still works so could I just buy the LCD and fix it myself?? And save like 150 dollars?

Possible? Yes.
Likely to be successful? Not at all.
The LCD and glass is fused to the entire front panel. Attempting to replace ONLY the screen/glass is near impossible unless you're a professional, and you're likely to break the digitizer/other components, or it just won't work properly/at all after you're done. What they're (and also LG if you go to them instead) charging you for a repair (around $160) is just about what a new front panel will cost. You're wasting your time trying to replace only the screen/glass.
Also, for US users who bought their device from the Play Store, Google will replace a damaged screen for free, once. I don't know if this applies to any other country as of yet, but it's worth a shot giving them a call.

I was worried that the digitizer is fused to the LCD. Just as a question is it possible for a professional to replace only the LCD? My family member is a professional phone repair guy but he lives in the middle East, I could send it to him...
As for sending it to google, I got the phone from best buy and google only replaces those bought from the play store

Yeah it's possible but not really worth the effort in my opinion. Most of the time when you send a Nexus 5 in for screen repair, they'll just replace the front panel anyways.
