Hi all,
I've smashed the screen on my smartwatch 2 and would like to get it fixed rather than getting a new smartwatch. Has anyone replaced the screen before? If so do you have any advice? Where can you get replacement screens from?
Thanks.

I'm wondering this also, Have a crack going straight through the center horizontally. It doesnt affect anything, but I don't even know when it happened. Looked down and it was there. figure anything out? Thanks
I didn't sort this out sorry. I tried the official Sony channels (I'm in Australia), and they don't repair the screens, just replace the whole piece. Not surprisingly this would cost the same as simply buying a new one. So as far as I know, these can't be repaired. I'm more than happy to be corrected though.
This happen even to me. The watch fell down from my table besides the sofa.
One air jump in about 60 centimeters...There goes my watch!
I contacted Sony support and got advice to contact repair center.
After contacted repair center I got the answer...
They don't repair any Smart Watch, but they offer me a new watch for about 1500 to 1600:- Skr.
Which in fact is the same as throw the broken watch and directly buy a new one...?
So it's hard to recommend Sony Smartwatch to my friends.

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.
I haven't got the money yet to get them, but I'm going to replace both.
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.
My device recently survived quite the impact, the screen got shattered, top right edge got deformed a little and then the ON/screenlock button stopped working the next day, but otherwise the phone was fully functional. So I sent it back to LG for repairs and the next week I get it back in the same condition, with a note saying it's not repairable/board cracked. I called them up, and got an image of the motherboard showing no cracks whatsoever, yet they still didn't want to re evaluate their conclusion when I created a new RA. When I got the phone back the battery was dead and even though I charge it I cant turn it on, until the button is replaced. LG suggested I contact Google for repairs, Google said I should contact LG. These people are helpless, they don't know anything. I could do the repairs myself, but I can find all the required parts online. Can I get some suggestions on my next step?
"Thank you for contacting LG Customer Service.
We are sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing with your LG device, however, your phone has already been inspected by our technitians at our repair facility and, unfortunately it has been determined that it is not repairable.
We recommend you contact your carrier for any replacement possibnility."
not much to do but to repair it yourself if you want then, or maybe look for one on swappa?
for parts http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/android-models/lg-nexus-5.html or ebay
btw it looks like you need this http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-frame.html
Screen and battery are no problem, i could replace them any day. The power button (blue circle in the pic) doesn't work, if that's the issue, I would need to replace it, but I can't find any replacements. I actually spotted a tiny crack on the board (red circles). Ugh. Would i have to replace the whole thing?
Maybe its best to sell it for parts and buy a new one, that phone looks allmost like a total-loss. Maybe some of the internals are damaged also and total repair would be too expensive.

I have issues with the power button too because mine get stuck lot of times and it's verry annoying. I've contacted LG service center but they said that because it is soldered to the mainboard the only option to repair is to change to mainboard. I'm shocked . I haven't got warranty here because I bought it on Play Store in Canada and I'm living in Europe.
Btw I've started to research this issue and the parts and it seems these switches are the same as Samsung uses in their new galaxy phones. There are tons of pieces on ebay from it. But changing it is hard. You need a good heat gun which is able to point the heat to a small area and you have to heat the switch only. If you heat any other parts, then you phone is dead...

But I'm not hundred percent sure that these are good switches for us, they just look the same :/

I've done the repair on a Galaxy S3 using the part from Ebay. Let me tell you now that it is a pain in the ass if you don't have good micro-soldering skills. I don't, lol, but my father does and he got it done for me. Be warned, you will mess up the board if you don't know what you're doing, but it can be done. Maybe find someone local who can do the swap for you.
buy a new one, cause this one is a dissaster! keep it for repairing parts...
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

Because Sony service center is terrible I sent my z1 there in the past for screen flickering and they tried to charge me £315 to fix it. I have replaced the flex ribbon since and still the same no picture on the screen just cant see whats wrong with it
Dont waste your hard earned money. Buy some other brand phone
I have got my S8+ for almost 2 months now..it's a great phone and I really like it.
I were making a phone call and all out of the sudden got this ugly black spot in my infinity display and It doesn't go away.
help me out what shall I do ?
I think you need to send it to Samsung for repair. That's clearly an hardware issue.

I am still underwarranty so will it be a repair or a replacement unit ?
That depends on where you bought it.
I know I can have a replacement with the shop I got it from. (Darty France btw).
But I remembee Samsung take it to repair and lend you a phone.
