Can you replace the screen and front plate?

Ouch
Had this once with my universal, had to pay 170 ,- € to fix that.
My wife could´nt understand why i had to repair it instead of buying a new phone.
They will never understand our addicting hobby! Hobby? Passion! Destiny!

Dang that hurts me looking at it. Is there a writeup on screen replacement on this yet?

here is the service manual:

whoa! thats bad ...

its touch pro breaking season or something, how did this happen?

My condolences.

I have a busted Touch Pro that with a good screen...the phone was run over by a car. Kind of mangled but powers on, cant make calls, everything else works but stuck in landscape. Funny thing is that the screen is flawless while everything else is about shot

same here man, got ran over by a car, everything worked except the lcd panel, i swear those Digitizers are strong or something cause they dont seem to crack or stop functioning easily

damn!! feel sorry for you man. claim your insurance... if you had any that is in the 1st place!

Yep, it's gone for insurance-repair.
How this happend? Just took it out of my pocket when I was in a bar and noticed the screen was cracked. It still could be an assasination

Unexplainable things happen to me when I'm in a pub too!

How is that funny? Unless it's not yours?
I'm a bit surprised some TP's survived car run-overs. I think it's worth the fix if it costs $150+ to fix when a new one is over twice as much.

oh jeez, do you keep the screen facing towards your leg when it's in your pocket? i usually keep it faced towards my leg now because my old phone cracked after hitting the edge of a table.

I don't really pay attention to which way it is facing, specially when i'm in a bar, being a bit intoxicated

I had the same porblem except my screen was not cracked. I had the same lines even though they were not so bright. So i sent my phone intor HTC for warranty repair and suprisingly they fixed it for free and sent it back to me just 3 days ago.

[Q] Can i even get money for this ?

do you guys think i have a chance in selling this I left it on top of my car nd it got ran over by someone behind me, everything looks like it held up except the screen, camera lenses is cracked and the micro sd card might be damage the metal bent a little that holds it in place

That sucks.
I will start the bidding at $.01
There is a guy in the general section looking for parts.

I say 20 is a fair price..

Man that really sucks. At least I think my phone is still salvagable (knock on wood). I dropped my phone after having it only one week and shattered the screen. I installed a new $70.00 screen after a lot of work removing all the broken glass and everything went well until I tried to connect the antenna connector to the motherboard and ended up pulling the connector off the cable.

Just curious, not criticizing. Why did you pay $70 just for the part when LG will replace the front of the phone with digitizer for around $70 and the work is done by an LG factory trained tech? You have to wait a couple of weeks but worth it to get an OEM part and the job done right. The parts on eBay are not OEM even though they claim them to be. They are usually Chinese made substandard ripoff parts.

The price for the LG service repair of the digitizer and front of phone is what people who sent it in to LG paid for service. There are many threads regarding this from about three or four months ago if you search the forums. People said turnaround time was about two weeks.
All the people on eBay and the Chinese parts sites claim OEM but almost none of them are. Do you really believe HTC, LG, Samsung etc are going to sell their genuine parts to these people? Heck no! You are lucky if the quality of your screen is good as many of these parts that are claimed to be OEM are pure crap.

Try Gazelle.com. I've seen them sell phones on Ebay that are worse off then this. So maybe they will give you $75-$100 or something.
Wups, didn't see the previous post until after I replied.
Also why would T-Mobile not offer you there $50 unlimited talk/text and 100mb of internet plan or $60 for 2gig's of internet. That sounds weird. Also you could of got there $30 unlimited talk or $30 100 minute talk and 5 gig's of data.

Screen cracked.... Sell it and buy a new Nexus 5, or have it repaired?

So I take care of my phones, pristine condition!
I left my phone on the coffee table, and no less than 5 minutes later, my dog decides to be insanely hyper and wacks it with his tail about 10 feet across the room....
It shouldn't have broken as the room is carpeted, but I think it hit the screen on the corner of my entertainment center.
In other words, it's completely smashed. The screen still works and responds to inputs just fine, everything else is perfect, just a shattered screen...
So would it be cheaper/better/faster etc. to sell it on ebay and just buy a new one, or send it in to have the screen repaired?
Or how easy is it to replace it myself, and where would I buy a new screen?

On ebay you can get lcd assembly for around 120 USD.
And watch tear-down video (Le55ons on youtube) about Nexus 5

you can decide for yourself if you can do it.

Is that much of a difference in cost than sending it in?

I would get a new one regardless of cost.

Well, on top of the replacement cost you will pay labor/shipping ... So, you might be better at the end just buying new device

Yeah, I guess that's what I'll do then. Buy a new one and hope to get some decent recovery selling this one on ebay for parts or something....

Do you still have this phone? I need the logic board for a nexus 5. I am interested in buying it.

Be watchful on eBay batteries.

USA Seller 2800mAh OEM Battery +Charger For Samsung Galaxy S5 Active G870 G870A
Do not buy or you might be disappointed. I got it today and found the label peeling off, and when I stuck it back on, it started to cover the printing.

Regrettably that it really isn't. I never had a problem with batteries marked OEM. But I guess the good news the seller refunded me the money and said to keep it our toss it out. There are still a few who believe in truth in advertising. I have reported the seller to eBay. But I doubt anything comes from that. If they don't say OEM, I know I am taking a chance to save a few bucks.

I thought everyone knows eBay batteries are junk guess I was wrong.

I have buying them for years, never a problem. I normally notice the little details, like the waves missing in the battery. (The NFC antenna) but failed this time. But at least I got my money back. If I wanted cheap Chinese batteries, I would have bought the ones for five bucks.

eBay is full of knock offs for things like batteries. Just gotta find a legit seller and stick to it.

There is a few legit sellers, my mistake was not looking at my saved sellers list. A mistake I am not about to repeat twice, even though this time really didn't cost me anything...

After a minor fall, my screen is as good as dead

Hi there, just thought I would share this with you and ask what you think.
So, I have a Moto G 3rd (bought it a month ago), I quite liked it and was a good upgrade from my original Moto G. However, I never expected it to be so fragile. After one small fall (like 30 cm) my screen seems to be completely messed. I mean the display, as outside the phone is just fine, no cracks or anything, and it was the first time I dropped it. Here's a picture:

This is really disapointing, and I'm in complete shock, as probably warranty won't cover it and the phone was a major investment for me. Has any of you had a similar experience? Is the moto G not as resistant has it once was? The original one could take a LOT of damage, and it just dying like this on me breaks my heart.
So, what should I do? I contacted Motorola on the website and after a long talk they basically just told me to go to the store where I bought it, which I'll do thursday (it's far from where I live), but I fear they won't offer help. If they don't, is there a way to still send it to Motorola and pay for the repairs? I've tried china replacements on other phones and was never quite satisfied, and this is a new phone :/
Thanks for reading, needed to share my pain!

That's exactly what happened to my previous phone (samsung galaxy s3 neo). Screen was ok, also because it was protected by a tempered glass, but the lcd broke and only showed a few purple lines.
Unfortunately, the outside screen spare was quite cheap (30 euros) while the lcd repair was 120 euros, so I decided to buy the moto. A bumper should protect from this kind of accident.
I'm afraid it's bad news.

Hi guys, just here for a quick update.
I went back to the store and since the device was in very good shape they sent it to warranty and said it could go off has a gpu fault.
I'll update when I, hopefully, get it back!

Great news, let's keep finger crossed and hope they can fix it for free.

Hi again!
Just here to tell you guys I got my phone back and the repair was covered by warranty! Hope my story helps if anyone runs into similar trouble. It was fairly quick too! (2 weeks)
Bear in mind my phone only had 1 month and was in really good shape (no scratches).
