Hi, i had a unfortune drop of my nexus 4 and the screen is now cracked and the touchscreen is only working in the top of the screen. I'm creating this thread because my cousin is traveling to Miami next week (i'm from Argentina) so i think to lend him my phone so he can leave it in some place they can repair it. My question is if you recomend some place to repair my nexus?
Thanks in advance, MartÃn

Hi all,
Does anyone know a place in London where I can repair a broken LCD from a Nexus S i9023?
I'm in Brazil but I will be in London at the end of month and really would like to have the phone fixed. I know here it will be impossible because the phone was never officially sold in Brazil and due the curved glass I will not be able to find a replacement here.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Hi guys, my i9023 gets broken, it's doesn't turn on anymore, anyway, the screen is perfect. I got a idea some days ago to buy a new i9023 with a broken screen, so this becomes cheaper and I fix this by myself. So, where can i find somewhere in the internet selling that? I can from someone here too.

Check eBay. You can even call up the nearest Samsung service center for the cost of a replacement screen.

I'm checking everyday. I found one in a australian website, and it was for 50 DOLLARS! This solves my problem if the seller wants to negociate with me, because I'm from Brazil. Anyway, I'm pretty exciting for him reply. And I guess you didn't understand me... My phone is bricked my have the normal screen, I want to buy one with the cracked screen because is cheaper, soo I can fix it by myself.
I have been lucky with my screen so far but my co-worker's phone died not even two weeks in. He said his kid had knocked a glass (cup/mug) over hitting the screen at an unusual angle.
The phone it self works grate but it must have caught the screen at the wrong angle for it to crack. I say this because I have dropped my Nexus 5 with some force and it has been fine so far. Also its not often I see a crack starting from the side (see pic) and not one of the corners.
The only place here in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) that would repair it had a price that was ~50 shy of a brand new Nexus 5 (he has a 16gig).
Question:
Anyone know if there is a place in Edmonton or online where I can get a cheep screen (and replacement advice) or cheep screen replacement?
Also if you have had a similar experience how have you dealt with it?
Note: The screen protector in the pic was not attached during the crack it is a iPhone4 protector added after the crack so that the phone can be used without bleeding fingers.

I have some good news for you but at the same time it depends on your LUCK.
well, a member on XDA broke his Nexus 7 2013 screen when it was just launched (Less than 10 days).
He tried getting help and no one had spare parts available online, he sent it to ASUS directly paying the postage.
What happened was that his Nexus came back repaired and ASUS didnot even charge him anything apart from postage he paid.
He was a lucky man and I hope you and your friend are too!
Good Luck!

Your friend should check out the credit card he bought it with and see if it comes with a accidental warranty perk. Some CC have a 90 day period of "insurance" if purchased using the CC.

Hopeful, I will see if LG has a repair address where we could ship the device.

I think he does have some sort of CC policy I will ask and get him to peruse this.
Thanks both for the helpful replays!
LG charges around 150 for the screen repair. Theres posts regarding this on the general forum. There's even a user tutorial for removing the screen yourself.

I broke my screen and the digitizer is broken too because it doesnt respond to touch either. My gf broke her nexus7 1st gen and we bought a digitizer for it too off amazon and i had it almost back together but i pushed too hard and broke it. So im scared to spend the $100+ on a digitizer to break it or just buy a new one for $350. Im using my old N4 right now and it still runs great but i miss my N5. Im also thinking google might release a new phone this fall..whether its part of that silver program or another nexus. I dont know what to do.
I broke the screen and digitizer on my N4 then bought a 16gb N5, broke that screen then just bought a new N5 but this time a 32gb. But I think there both worth repairing.

Sent it to LG for repair. It'll cost you $160.
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know I recently replaced my screen+lcd on my Nexus 5.
I used this video : http://youtu.be/OPuCmfhzgbg
Although I have experience in replacing screens before by no means I would consider this hard for anyone who can follow the video. Watch it in it's entirety first.
Hardest part IMO is switching all the small pieces from the old screen/frame assembly to the new one.
Good Luck

Just wanted to update incase anyone comes across this in the future...I bout the screen and case on amazon for $105 or so and i followed the above video and now my nexus is as good as new again. Prob took me half hour or so. Easy job. Thanks again!
If you don't want it, just send it to me and I'll pay to have it fixed for myself. Its $100. That's not going to kill you. Make sure you buy it with the frame or it'll be a pain to fix.

Good day to you Sir/Madam,
Its been a year now since my screen phone broke accidentally and up until now I've been searching for a spare screen for my phone. I bought it on China when we docked in shanghai via internet with a help from my Chinese colleague(I bought 2 units), but a year after both of the screen unfortunately cracked and I couldn't find any replacement for parts here in my country (Philippines). Up until now I've been searching for a spare part for my screen replacement because those phone has a huge sentimental value for me and I cannot just dispose it or let it sit around in my closet. I was just wondering if someone can help me find a spare screen for my phone. its just the protective screen from the housing that was cracked because the screen display is still operating, but the screen is not responding to touches. thank you in advance Sir/Madam and I whole heartedly be thankful if someone can be able to help me in my situation.
Thank you and more power!!
