Repairing Broken Display of i9003: Is Sammy service centre charging me right?

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)

[Solved] screen broken, help!!!

I dropped my i9003 on asphalt and the screen got broken.
I know I should go to service center but I live in Finland where i9003 isn't being officially sold. The phone got bought from Spain.
So, Should I send my phone to spain at high costs or is there any easy way to change the touch screen?

I think that you can buy a LCD screen of d mobile and fit it...try buying it online

Try some online reliable repair service to get it done or else as mentioned earlier get the spare parts arranged and get it installed by some good mobile technician or service person.

Thanks! Will do that

The screen still displays but doesn't recognize touch.

$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..
any one know the price of motherboard and display in US???
because my cousin lives there and she doesn't know the price there if the price cheaper than here(INDIA) i'll courier my phone to her..
DHL courier charges is 3800 INR ( $63)..
can anyone please let me know the price?

XZ3 hardware problem (Advice Needed)

Hi all my problem is i bought my Z3 off ebay it had a faulty screen. The screen is not displaying anything so i bought a new screen fitted it but its still the same so bought another thinking it was the part but its still the same. So i need some advice wether its the zif on the board thats faulty or the flex ribbon. the zif connector looks to be ok. And the back light still works and i can hear the boot sounds and notifacations. I just don't want to keep buying parts willy nilly

OnePlus One Display Genuine or duplicate ?

Hi Guys,
I have OnePlus One whose screen is broken. The touch is also not working.
I contacted a local repair guy, he told me he can install the Original Original OnePlus Display for ₹ 2500 (~37$).
He also has duplicate display for ₹1500 (~23$)
He said he has another OnePlus One device from which he will remove the display.
I dont know whether to trust him or not. Is there anyway through which I can make sure the display he applied ot my phone is genuine ?
Thanks

i had changed my Oneplus one's Display cost 1500 INR and now it's totally ****ed !
Like my phone's power button not working volume buttons also. and display intent from bottom side and middle and random touch issue started. i'm from mumbai nd had done in mumbai screen replacement .

Few days back got my display changed from Oneplus Exclusive Service Center and they charged me Rs 8000 approx so in Rs 2500 actual display I doubt is possible.
