Hey All,
Was just looking for advice on replacing a phone screen(or any part, in general). Does anyone know of some good sites were you can buy replacement parts and tool kits that are reasonably priced? I have a LG Nexus 5 that I dropped and the digitizer went bad when the screen cracked and I am looking to replace it(With the right parts and tool kit) but, so far haven't found a good site to buy the parts and tools from so I turned to the forums. I fix other phones quite a bit but, I was buying the parts from a local shop the recently closed so I am looking for a new source for parts and tools and figured the people on here would know best.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hello everyone
Can someone suggest where can I order this broken part?
I wish you luck. Tried to find a replacement battery cover to no avail. All I have seen online is digitizers. I emailed and phoned HTC and they do not sell any parts anymore and referred me to the "usual suspect" online sites.
so, replacement of this part would have cost me 110€ and I lost this phone.
Now I bought a new 7 Pro for a 350€
About to replace my LCD and digitizer after an accident that has left my phone useless
I found a guide online and the items needed.
any heads up or pointers I should know about before doing this?
I hope you have insurance... First time I tried to open something electronic up, I cracked the screen! (ipod) be careful man
Sorry to hear man, but before you do anything you aren't really comfortable with I would suggest looking at some local cell phone repair shops. My brother cracked his LG G2x and the price for the digitizer was abour $75. We searched on yelp.com and called around and found a great shop that would repair it for $95 within two hours. Some places were charging well over $100 and would take at least 5 days to repair.
In the end though my brother was extremely happy with the experience and once he got his phone fixed he flashed a new ICS rom and it was literally a brand new phone! Good luck though my friend.
I cannot stress it enough, get an HTC digitizer! I bought a $30 one off of amazon and it gave up after a month. Get a cell phone tool kit and plenty of the two sided tape, just in case the screen needs to be redone. It's not hard to do, it just requires some time and a little patience. You'll do fine.

It's not that I don't feel comfortable with it, just never attempted it. I've done small electronics repair before though so i'm sure this will be fine.
Also thanks,
I'll let you guys know how it goes.
I'm replacing my wife's digitizer soon but I got a cheap one off eBay. Hopefully it doesn't have issues. It comes with a kit including the tools needed. Supposedly.
phone wont work after replacing the screen.
any ideas y it wont work,
The phone won't boot up at all? or is the touch screen not working?
Make sure all the ribbon cables are properly connected and are not broken. If not, you might have gotten a defective screen replacement.
RE:
Hi,
I replaced my digitizer.
To anybody who will do this in future, when you put the new digitizer in place, make sure that no dust or other things get under the glass.
Hi guys,
Posted this in the other galaxy s2 forum since 727 was not listed on the forums page (had to search for it).
Anyway I'm helping a friend replace his broken screen/digitizer and I've noticed that the cheapest ones on ebay (or anyone for that matter) are about $150. Even iPhone digitzers are cheaper so I thought that maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. Anyone know of a good place to get them cheaper for the I-727?
The cheapest digitizers on eBay are $120. It doesn't matter if they're from China or from US, AFAIK you get exactly the same one.
You can't and won't get anything cheaper. Due to your inquiry I can safely assume you don't know one fact - unlike other manufacturers, Samsung packages LCD+Digitizer as a single unit, and separating them in anything but a dedicated lab with special tools is extremely hard / impossible. This is the reason for the cost.

Appreciate it,
Didn't wanna go for one from china because of the shipping times. Guess he'll have to bite the bullet on this one, thanks
I'm not much of a modder to my phone, but lately my micro USB port has gotten so loose that charging it is a hassle, I've resorted to qi charging for now, but it's a bit slower, I'm looking to replace the charging port on my nexus 5. Dies anyone here have any experience with buying generic / cheap eBay parts? I've replaced a couple of screens i bought off eBay that work fine but never something like this.
Will it affect the charging speed?
Is this as easy as it looks?
Sorry for the noob questions
Did you know, there's an official spare parts shop for LG devices?

If you like to know how to disassemble and reassemble your device, look at YouTube for it! There're lots of good step by step tutorials. I recently exchanged my batterie. I bought one at the shop linked obove an replaced it after watsching a video tutorial on YouTube. Took about 15 Minutes.

I didn't know that, thanks for the link, but since I plan to upgrade to the Oneplus 2 when it comes out, or maybe a Sony, I don't need it to last more than a few months at most, that's why I was looking at the eBay instead of checking for original parts, and also looking for people's experiences here with similar products, I thank you a lot though for your link, it's great to know such a thing exists in case of future phones
It should be fine. Batteries and screens are the things that people have problem with. It's an easy part to fit

I recently started learning how to repair smart devices about half a year ago and I love tinkering around with different issues. Sometimes I would buy or auction devices off eBay and tinker with it. But sometimes I have come across a water damaged device and I was wondering does other components such as camera, flex cables, and other components other than the motherboard still work? Does using a multimeter continuity help finding out if it still work? Because right now I am building a website where I want to try to sell parts and components at a discount price. Someone please help answer! Much appreciated.!
