Hi all,
Just got my N5 screen repaired, 1 week later LCD is broken. But the outer glass/screen is 100% intact...
Have i been ripped off or have i ****ed up again? (Didn't drop it or anything)
Have pictures, but can't figure out how to post them...

Is it even possible for only the LCD to break while the screen is 100% intact and undamaged??
Bump. Need pro advice here..

That looks like an actual hardware fault rather than physical damage, I would go back to the repair main again, if you were in the UK then you could go to town on him with the sales of good act.

Hello,
I have samsung wave that stopped vibrating after about 7 months. The phone was fine otherwise. Still, since i picked a newer one i decided to bring it to a samsung certified repair shop here in germany and after a few weeks i got a letter saying the phone is not only damaged beyond repair but also completly dead. The cause stated was corrosion due to liquids. I take good care of my phones and never did the phone get anywhere near any liquid. But ok admitting thats true... some guy at the shop told me it was now completly dead because the corrosion had eaten its way through the rest of the circuits. They now want 20euros just to send me a broken phone back or they will "dispose" of it for me...
Im no expert and my hardware engineering classes are a while back, but this sounds pretty darn strange to me. Can anyone out there tell me how plausible this is or give me some advice?
Id be really grateful. Thanks,
Ludwig

Hi all,
Due to a bad drop off the 2nd. floor balcony to the street under, my i9003's display got cracked. Everything except the display (blank, black) was working fine, I could hear it ring when someone called.
I visited the authorized sammy service centre nearby and they inspected the phone. The entire display part (which has a pcb stuck to it and non-removable) needed to be replaced. All other things including the mainboard and back casing were ok.
They gave an estimate of Rs.7000 (US$ 140). Today I called and they said, your device is ready, total bill would be Rs.7000+4% VAT=Rs.7280
I wonder it is the exact price they gave estimate for... something fishy? Any inputs if I am being overcharged? Did anyone here go with a display change before?
TIA
On physical there is no warranty. U have to pay to them.

Yes, I'm fully aware of it. My question is: are they charging right for the replaced part and labour charges?

I went to Barrackpore...closest to me. I rarely go to the hustling and bustling proper Kolkata... it's tiring!
@Anyone: If you have contacts with a sammy service center (or even an employee), kindly confirm the cost of the display part.
Tatz strange I had my display replaced freely only a month back following the phone falling onto the tiles! But the display was working, ABCs the touch was not! I told them since morning it's like this and they changed it in an hour while I was in India for Diwali! luckily this happened while I was there.

I guess that's because you do not have physical evidence of damage, still the OP got charged 140USD is pretty steep >_<. I guess I should not drop the phone.
Sounds about right for official service. In Malaysia a cracked display + glass will incur about RM350, do the maths.
They are charging right , offcourse it is more amount to pay if you compare to local market. In DELHI if you went to GAFAR market(India largest mobile market) then you will get your display from 1.5k to 4.5k depending upon build quality.
Just check local market first if you didn't paid.

I think you would get it done within 4.5-5K in Bangalore. The AMOLED screen WITH some lights costed 7K for a friend of mine in Bangalore...Only screen should obviously be nearly 4.5 - 5K ...That's it~! Not more
Well, they said that the entire LCD Assy needed to be replaced as it comes in a sealed monoblock part which houses the top cover, gorilla glass, touch buttons, the lcd, sensors like proximity, light and front cam all on a pcb stuck to the lcd. In fact if you imagine total front part including the metallic rim, that is all the LCD assy holds.
The back cover, main assembly and mother board were OK.
I dug up a service manual and confirmed the part number: QFR01 (GH97-11829A)
Thanks everyone for your inputs... I guess there is no scope of saying anything to the service center guys as they have already completed the repairing... But still, I'll bluff them about friends getting that done for 5.5k! LOL

i gt replaced within 5 mis.. they charged me 5400rs
Update: Finally received it from the service center. Looks spanky new! Seems they replaced the main body frame too. Billed me Rs.7200. The senior tech wasn't there then and could not talk for a discount...
Came home, fired kies and updated to official GB I've been waiting for!
Guys, suggest you take care about not cracking the display... it really makes a hole in the wallet...

I guess you missed the opportunity to upgrade you device. I guess paying 7.5K for the device is waste becuase you can not resell the device with atleast a little profit. My advice is dont change. But a new phone like galaxy nexus from US (15 to 17K)

Display problem
I sleep with my phone besides me....I might have rolled over it in sleep real bad today and in the morning I see the display showing red strips in bright areas of the screen...Eg.Google search bar, Keypad, etc...
I asked at a phone repair shop it costs 4.5k(Samsung original) wheras Samsung service center quoted a price of 6950Rs somthing...
Can anyone judge what the problem might be...Do i need to get a new display panel....?
please HELP!
I have tried to take snap shots of the Screen...Attached
u r being charged too much i got my screen fixed in rs 5600 from the service center
i had the same problem
I just found out today that the problem comes n goes away...the display becoms normal for a while n then again goes back to being patchy red....
Hi guys,
My htc fell in water, but I have dried it up. Now when I press the power key, the screen does not turn on. Then, when I press it again to supposedly off the screen, the screen turns on and off in 1second. So I can catch a glimpse of the lockscreen. So I was wondering, does anyone know why this is happening?
Is this a problem I can fix myself or should I bring it to a repair shop?
Any recommendation on a repair shop besides HTC. HTC did not even bother to look at my phone, they just saw the water indicator and said it would be $300-$500, which in fact, I know that it would not be that much.
So if anyone could help me, thanks.
I'll upload a youtube video so you guys can get a better understanding.

Had the same accident on my wifes last Nokia, couldnt repair it myself and brought it to a repair shop. They told me to throw it away because the water sensor inside the phone reported the accident audn a repair would be as expensive a an equal ne phone. sorry mate, dont hope too much ...
I guess I shall just get a new phone, like an evo 3d or something. Thanks anyway
Or they can replace the parts that's been damaged. But i'm not sure if the repair costs more than buying a new phone.
I believes LCD internal circuit detect short and turns of lcd to prevent damage.
LCD may still have water inside or main board may have been damaged.
It is impossible to guess so repair tech must use parts from good phone and swap one by one to bad phone until bad part is found.
Most repair shop will not have ability to do this so they will charge minimum $200 ( average cost for them to buy phone) or they will assume LCD is defective and quote about $150. ( their charge for LCD replacement)
HTC just charges you phone refurb charge ( for customer not their cost)
I recommend sell on eBay for $150 and buy new(used phone) on Craigslist($200-$250).
I assume since you are asking this question you don't do many or any repair...if this is true...I highly suggest you keep it that way to prevent accidental and uneccesary damage
PM me and I can assist with repair/replacement

I was kinda hoping to fix it, but I guess I should go to HTC and ask them for an exact amount of price needed to fix this phone.
I doubt there's anymore water in the phone cause I have dried it for 3days in rice and even hair dryed it.
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.
I cracked my screen and would like some feedback on a reliable place to buy a replacement as it is out of the 3 month warranty. Thank you.
I replaced the screen in my H8. It's very hard to replace it, you have to remove back glass first and the most difficult thing is to put it back.

There's a tutorial from iFixit or something like that, it needs precision and a little bit of patience, good luck

You are welcome , probably u should have made a video while u strip the phone into parts and also the assembling part.
I have broken the screen of mine. What is a prudent way to go about fixing it? Should I contact Huawei and ask for repair, or should I purchase a replacement display and try fixing it myself?
If Huawei offers repair, what is the cost? I have not registered the phone or purchased a warrantee.
If I go DIY route, where should I get a replacement? eBay?
Thanks in advance. It is the first time ever I cracked a smartphone display. It was my fault but still a bummer. Ugh.

I hope contacting service center might get ur display replaced an original one.
If you contact Service center you definitely get a genuine parts, but price will be higher.
You can replace it by yourself if you don't have crooked hands..
