Z3 Repair UK? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My daughter has dropped her Z3 today and broken the screen. Local phone shops are quoting around £90 for a replacement screen...
Can anyone here recommend a UK based repair service that have reasonable charges?
Many thanks.

No one?

Have a look on eBay, £50 to £60. Whether they use Sony original screens, I don't know.

I do repair i can do it if you want.
But they must of said £90 including labour.

Taking it to the local office or buy the original Z3 online liken:Amazon,Eebay and the HCQS

Cheap LCD + Digitizer

Hi fellas,
I broke my LCD/touchscreen few weeks back and have been searching for thei replacement since then.
Does anyone knows where to get the LCD & Digitizer for less price?
ebay prices for both inclusive is not less than 70GBP + shipping .
We dont have local shops in India who store both of them, so i guess i'll have to buy it online.

Ashwani Delhi is the place where you will get the uni Lcd very cheap in Gaffor Market,was there recently and picked up a couple of Lcd's and co-axial cables for the Universal,only thing is that you will have to go from shop to shop to get a good deal.

[Q] Repair or replace?

My N5 has a cracked screen (just the outer glass -- not the screen itself) and at my age I no longer have the eyesight, dexterity, or patience to do the repair myself. So I am looking at taking it to a repair shop and expect a sizable charge to replace the screen.
So if it's going to cost close to $200 for the repair, maybe I should just order a new one. Mine is a 32Gb, but I would be just as happy with a 16Gb model for $350 (I only got the 32Gb because that was what was still in stock on release day). I could then sell my cracked N5 to someone who could do the repair on the cheap and either have themselves a very nice phone or could resell it.
What could I get for a white 32Gb N5 with cracked front glass? $100? Maybe $150?
Searching around Ebay it looks like people are getting $150-180 for the 32GB model with a cracked screen. Just the screen seems to cost $130-$150, but I would take it to the repair shop and see what they would charge before making a decision.
What country are you in? Look for an LG repair store, they will do it for around $110 if I am not mistaking.

The only convenient repair shop wants $225, so I'll just go ahead and order a new one and then see what I can get for the cracked one.
Call LG I'm sure they will charge less than 200.
Supposedly lg charge 150 believe

$225 is crazy, surely an official LG centre will charge less

Must be REALLY convenient.
With the price of the Nexus 5, I think the cost of the repair is almost pointless...
Even if you don't quite break even with selling the broken one on eBay, you'll have a brand new device with a full warranty and one that wasn't dropped, opened and reassembled. I think you've made the right choice!

Yeah, I didn't realize that having a phone with a cracked screen is actually considered "cool" in some circles, so the ones going on eBay will probably not be repaired. This will work out OK for me and I'll end up with a new phone as you said.
Repair it !!

Should i buy a cheaper z5 without warranty?

Hi guys. In my country, there is a 200 dollar price difference between the official sellers and online seller who ships from abroad. The price of the online seller is cheaper because they don't have the official sony warranty. This seller has a good reputation. People have bought many phones from them without encountering issues. I also treat my phones well enough to last at least two years. My question is the actual phone itself. I have never bought a sony phone before. Do I need to worry about defects and poor quality control issues?
Why wouldn't it have manufacturers warranty? As my sony phones have never been sent back to where I've got them it's always been Sony direct

If it's a genuine Sony, you should have manufacturer warranty.
You could have a faulty unit (left-hand lens blur in camera) and maybe other faults like a blueish display so I should play safe and make sure u can get it replaced in the first two weeks or so.
Overall, I don't have any issue with my replacement Z5.
NO, Maybe it's cheap,but it has the high risk.

The manufacturers warranty is from the manufacturer not the retailer so if it doesn't have one and it states that then something isn't right

Screen repair experience through the official service

Hey guys,
I have unfortunately managed to crack my U12+ screen during the first month of use, and since there is a general lack of spares online, I decided to send it for repair to the official european HTC service (CTDI Regenersis in Poland). They are asking for a bit over 300 Euros to repair the screen.
I would like to ask if someone has any experience on the same repair from the same service. Yes, I have heard the horror stories and I have also read the trustpilot reviews, but I would really like to have some personal insight. I am confortable in paying the service fee, as long as they return my phone with the same pristine condition I sent it in. I have used the official service in the past (red camera tint on the M7) and they made a poor job in reassembling the phone (screen gaps, sticky buttons, and my device returned with more scratches compared to what it had before), but I do not remember if it was the very same company in Poland.
Given the build of the device (glass edge all around) I think that I am not the only one in need of screen repair through the official service, so I hope that someone could share his/her experience. Do you think its a good idea? Or should I just go for a new device alltogether? (the U12+ can be found new for around 470 Euros)
Thanks in advance.
I am in United States (Atlanta), I needed a screen repair and could not get any reply from HTC after several emails, there is no phone contact listed that I could find.
I located a national repair service provider (Cellaris) that repaired the screen for 250USD (233 Euros). They had to order the screen from Korea, it took about 3 weeks to arrive. The repair was very well done and looks factory original. Cellaris stores are not "official" HTC service stores, but they seem to be very experienced in all cell phone repairs. The stores are located in malls, shopping centers, and in many Wal-Mart stores.
So to answer your question, if you find a good, experienced store, the repair should be like new.
Hi,
Attention anyway independent repairer! Europe (Belgium) HTCU11 replacement screen low sensitivity no longer worked. 300 €
-Back problem of sound and poorly glued screen! back to the repairman
-Repair 2, its ok trace of glue on the edges! After 15 days the edge of the screen degrades small cracks !!
I still think the HTC service is more likely to be better !!
I had a HTC10 internal platinum replacement and no problems, work done very well.
