Hi guys,
I managed it to break to glass of my camera on my Nexus 5.
The camera still works, it just looks like I'm taking pictures in a fog.
So all I need to replace would be the covering glass.
Can you point me somewhere or give me hints?
How complicated is such an repair, can I do it on my own?
Will I be able to get the replacement?
Regards

You wouldn't get warranty coverage and so you'll have to pay for the replacement glass, as well as the repair cost. Its safer if you just hand it over to LG for repairs, because you wouldn't want to get any dust under the glass when you replace it yourself (if that was even possible). I'm pretty sure they'll be able to get a replacement. Check your phone documentation for the nearest service center that should get you started.

There is a replacement part that you can buy yourself for around $35 I think, just search for the other similar threads for the link.
Can I ask how it happened?
Heres the replacement: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-To...er_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item1c3c3e8403
Good luck
I knew this day would happen
Try contact LG they may do it for you free or for a low price.
Thanks for the link, do you think it is safe to do it on my own? (Doesn't look to hard to do tbh)..
I can't tell you how it happened. I looked at my phone and the glass was broken. I didn't had my keys in my pocket or something

Check out the Nexus 5 teardown guide on ifixit.com and see if its something you're comfortable with doing. As long as you're handy, have the tools to get the job done, extremely patient and know how to follow directions then I'd say go for it.

Not really sure what material that is.. doesn't really matter. (Edit.. looks like plastic..that's finel.)
I assume that it's the break that you want to fix.. if so an epoxy resin will work plus you can file it and paint it if you want.. it's such a powerful adhesive that it comes in the form of two chemicals that you have to mix yourself. Any hardware store will have it.. it bonds ANYTHING.. metal, stone, wood, plastic..in most cases it's actually stronger than the material that you are trying to fix (which has it's own set of problems,lol).
Remember.... READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Superglue or an equvilent won't work in this case.. it's not powerful enough for metals and it melts plastic.
Go to a Service/repair centre.. If you replace it yourself, you will lose garanty (you got to open stuff to replace it).

Or do what Svenitos says.
I prefer to replace it with a new one, but I can't find the part anywhere on the net to order it online, because I'm pretty sure I can't find it here in Sofia, Bulgaria. I don't care about the warranty, the phone is mine 4life anyways
About the glue: The part is plastic on the top, and a rubber in the back. I broke the plastic! Maybe with a chloroform the plastic can become into one part but I don't think I want to own such a unit
Does anyone know from where I can get a spare part ?

Hello world
My dad dropped his DHD on stone floor , face down, screen now looks like WW2
Well, my question is, is it possible to replace the screen yourself or does it involve a series of special tools and fingerbreaking moves?
Thank you.
You can do it yourself look HERE It's not too hard,

Very easy if you order plastic frame/digitzer / screen all togother like this, needed about 9 screw removing and lift out the "motherboard" with all wires on
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280706651190?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
This link is just a example. you will be expected to pay around £50-60.
buying glass screen only is false encomny, as you will break LCD and frame in process.
better off replace the whole thing.
Hope this help you. :good:
honestly buying the whole lcd is a better idea but not the only idea, if u have the tools and the knw how and most importantly the patience to seperate the LCD from the chassis and thn the touch screen from the digitizer thn u can replace only the glass which will cost u about 10- 20n pounds but it will have the signs of replacement but if u dont want the hassle or dnt care abt the money and want ur phone to look new as never touched thn buying the whole lcd is a better option P.S : Saying this coz i tried to change the glass ended up damaging the chassis as well as the digitiser:silly:
Ive done a few different handsets and once you've done one they are pretty easy, just take your time and dont rush
have to help my friends DHD with this
I hate to say that I have christened my Sprint Galaxy S5 by dropping it WITHOUT a case. Almost 3 months without incident!! When it dropped the bottom right hand corner specifically the chrome band around the phone is dinged. My question is does anybody know if there is a way to replace JUST that band, and if it is possible where to get it? Pictures to follow later tonight!

Thats what you need, it cost me USD 12, but i'm sure you won't get it that cheap.

Wholly moly! That looks the like pretty much the housing assembly correct? Do you know of a site that sells, and the difficulties of swapping?
I thanked you, but just want to say thank you as well!

I buy the parts direct from china, not too sure about any online site, i'm sure some does sell it, also updated with a tear down link.
Thanks again!
Here's the part you'll need:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/351070105491
I work for a repair shop and we get parts from these guys, so I can without a doubt vouch for the quality, price, and shipping time.
As for replacing it.... Good luck, you'll need it. The only way into the S5 is behind the screen which must be removed to open it up. It's glued down with superSam****adhesive so more likely than not you'll end up breaking the display or separating the display from the glass. If your screen is fine, it's not worth the cost of replacing your entire display just to replace the midframe.
Just in case, here's a display w/ the home button flex: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351067874432
also need to buy the panel sticker adhesive and the display rim adhesive.
I got all these stuff apart from the panel adhesive, but traded my S5 yesterday for a Tab S 8.4.:fingers-crossed:
Thanks guys for your help! After looking at everything needed to be done I think you guys are right, I will just live with the nicks I have, and since they are a bit sharp, i'll use a dremel on low speed to grind down a little. Like I said thanks again for the eye opener!!!! LoL:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
has anyone on here had to replace the glass in front of the camera?
basically my friend dropped his Nexus 5 onto some rocks, and it spider-cracked the camera glass. to make the camera kinda usable again, he just removed the broken glass. i'm thinking this is the part needed to repair/replace it:

and then follow the first 3 steps over on an ifixit.com guide:

Never actually replaced the glass, but it should be pretty easy.
I've striped the phone down to the component parts and re built it before... wasn't that difficult using the iFixit guide.
The only awkward bit is removing the back plate - the glue was really sticky! just be gentle and you should be fine.
the back plate? is this what you're talking about?

No, I just meant the back cover. That panel holds the motherboard in place.

i just discovered this kit on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Chassis-Housi...413209575&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+5+camera+lens
and taking the ifixit.com guide in mind, this seems like the easier part to replace than just the lens cover part. you think?

I don't think it will make it any easier or harder - you would have to take the old one out anyway, and it's just a few extra screws to remove the camera lens.
But it's only a few quid more to buy that part and they both come with free tools, so you might as well.
I've given the phone to my Niece to take some photo and video. When she gave me the phone back, I found it cracked at the back. Not sure how it was cracked. I might be due to excessive heat dissipated while the screen stays on for few minutes. What do you think about it? How I can repair it?

Isn't that tempered glass over your Z3?
You will need this part:
http://www.witrigs.com/custom-back-cover-for-sony-xperia-z3-green
I just replaced the front and back of mine as it cracked on my wife accidentally doing something with the kids.
You will need to transfer your stock NFC sticker/chip to the new cover before installation. This company ships quick and is very reliable. If you do not have the suction cup and guitar pics I recommend it, you will need it for installation. As well as a heat gun or hair dryer.
You can see a how to video towards the bottom of the page I linked.
Good luck.

No, there was no tempered glass in the back. Tempered glass protector is in the front side.
