broke my screen

Broke my screen and looked on ebay for a replacement. What I can't figure out is why there is such a big price difference on all these screens. There are some for 20 all the way up to 100. Can someone chime in on this?

Depends if new or used, the source of the screen, counterfeit or real and also simply what the sellers think they can get.

ones that are legit are going for at least mid 50s I believe on ebay.

The reason there is such a price difference is because you are looking at two different products. I broke my screen last week, but it was only the top layer of glass(called the digitizer) that broke, which only costs $15-20. If you managed to break the glass and the LCD, however(if your screen won't turn on, or is massively discolored), then you need a full LCD replacement, which is much more expensive, costing closer to $150. Hope that helps

yeah i figured that out reading the description. how was it changing the digitizer? thats all i need replaced. only reason why i would consider buying the whole setup was so all i needed to do was plug and play.

There's a seller on eBay that has the model phones for cheap. I paid around $15 shipped for one when i replaced the digitizer on my inc1. Complete shell, battery cover and all, except the lcd and guts

Got mine from ebay for about 55bucks. Complete set. Plug and play. Even came with tools to get the job done and a step by step video. Can't go wrong. Much easier and safer to just replace both LCD and digitizer.

Let us know how everything works out. I have a friend with a cracked digitizer and I was going to attempt to replace it for him. Also did you purchase the part from Ebay? Thanks!

I have replaced a screen in a Thunderbolt and Incredible 2. It isn't really very difficult just do a search on YouTube for a video with instructions, have a bright light and in my case a magnifying glass! (Old eyes)

Where's a good place to purchase one at?

I'd help, but I can't with a clean conscience assist a whioux fan.
Seriously though, your best best it ebay. If you're just looking for the glass, I have an OEM one. But LCD assemblies are not cheap.

Screens come as an assembly. None of them are cheap unless you want one that breaks within 2 hours.

Wrong, I do repairs daily... these phones can be bought as an assembly, or glass and LCD separate, if your careful, and take your time... the lcd's you get off ebay work perfectly.

You can get whole screen for aroun 80$ from aliexpress (china, free ship)
for example

Need a screen + Frame

Hello, I smashed my N5 screen and needed a new screen + frame to replace it , there are many retailers on-line that sell them but was not sure about their quality so was wondering if anyone out there could recommend me one.
Price is not that much of an issue I just want one that is official or as good as the official.
PS: I live in the UK.

Just pick a seller on Amazon with a 95% + rating

Having bought one from amazon and one from eBay, I'd say its not worth it. Both were about $120. One had severe bleed and later got washed out, the other had glossy black sides and no adhesive. Ended up sending to LG and it came back like new for about $150.

Etradesupply.com best for replacement parts

Best place to get replacement screen

So I cracked my nexus 5 screen and was looking around to see LCD/digitizer to replace mine with. However most of them either had ridiculous price (like come on, 100+ for a screen?) Or had horrible reviews. So is there any site that I can get good screen with relatively cheaper price?

Have you checked Amazon? I haven't checked for the n5, but that's where I hot my replacement for my n7.

[Q] Nexus 5 broken LCD

Managed to crack my Nexus 5 (red) LCD.
Any reliable supplier for a new one?
I've disassembled the broken one from the frame and just need the lcd+touch+bezel "glued" set.
(Well initially I just had broke the outter glass and the digitizer/LCD were working fine, until I tried to remove the broken Glass and managed to crack the LCD at 75% of the work done )

LG won't sell spare parts
@shri_chanakya
Issue on ebay is most claim to be original LCD+digitizer set, but aren't, ending up being of lower quality...
So I was looking for a reliable source.

Actually I took a good look at their product and it seems OEM and not Original.
Ended up ordering from here:

When it comes to parts I always get them off Amazon. I go by reviews and price comparison. If it's cheap it's fake, IMO. I've had a back and battery, both genuine and very happy with them, bought this way, but no screen, thank God. They have them
