Triumph LCD Screen

My girlfriend's screen broke while we were at the bar, and I cannot find anywhere that sells the screen itself, just the digitizer. Anyone know where this can be found?
*edit for drunk typing

Was it the glass, the digitizer, or the LCD that broke?

It was the LCD

Here is the full display kit on Amazon:
Triumph LCD Replacement
This is what I would get as it will have all the parts to repair/replace the screen. You could then sell off anything that was left over.

Did you ever find a replacement LCD? I'm looking for one for a friend.

Also looking for one. But what I just wound up doing since its the inside LCD. No outside damage or cracks is, I am sending it in for warranty. https://globalrepairtools.motorola.com/serviceandrepair/
You can try from virgin mobile too. Motorola is nice cause you can do it online, even verify the MSN serial number is in warranty via the site. Long as it doesnt show physical damage to the case, outside screen, you can claim it. Least according to others I have talked to. So here is hoping.

[Q] Spare screen anyone?

Does anyone know where to get a replacement screen? On ebay I have found them for the One X and the One V for like 50 bucks, but for the One S, all i can find is the whole digitizer display for like $200. I may or may not have broken my screen already..... Just the glass part.

pics or it never happened

I think your stuck with buying the whole unit - Isn't that a feature of the Super-AMOLED display? It's all-in-one with the digitizer etc?

Yap, you have to replace the whole screen here, it's one fused unit.

Poop. Ok thanks. Now I just need to find a tear apart video...

I've been looking for a breakdown video as well.... not found anything yet

Check here, http://www.abiresearch.com/research/1012500-HTC+ONE+S+Teardown would be an interesting read though I'm not sure how much they charge for the report or if it includes step-by-step instructions

SO I called HTC up to see how much it would be to fix. The guy didn't know how much it would be because its so new, but "based on other phones similar, it would be around $140." I asked for a range, and he said between $140 and $180. So I sent it in. They just emailed me stating that it will be $200 to fix. Seems like a lot. But what do you all think? The quote said for the screen and casing, so maybe there was something wrong with the casing as well? At any rate, does anyone want to buy my one s when I get it back? lol.

Damn how long does it take to fix it

Probably a few days. I will most likely put it on ebay once I get it back, tho. Unless someone makes me an offer I cant' refuse.

Screen Repair?

Hello everyone.
Just bought a Nexus 5 off somebody on craigslist, one big issue. Broken digitizer (I did know this when I bought it). Glass itself is mint, not even a scratch. However, the digitizer is all kinds of f***ed up, and the touch does not work. Phone itself works fine, I can confirm.
Has anybody sent their Nexus 5 in to LG recently for screen repair? If so how much was it? It would be $10 to send it in and either get it fixed or not, so I'm wary about sending it in without knowing a price. Anybody know? I'm guessing $100-$150 area, friend could do it for me with just the parts but obviously I'd prefer LG to do it. Just wondering.
Thanks!

Call a service center for an estimate, but i guess 100-150 USD will not be sufficient for the part plus assembly.

Do lg instead. I bought a screen from ebay and the screen didn't even work correctly. It didn't compared to the original screen. It cost me 150 for that third party screen replacement. I heard that's the price for an OFFICIAL screen from lg as well. That's what I'm planning on doing next.

idk, I've heard it's $146 some places, $100 others. They don't give out estimates, it has to be sent in (odd).

As stated above make sure they`re talking about a original LG screen and not some cheap Chinese knockoff.

I replaced the screen my self ..It cost me 135 on eBay. What is nice is that the screen comes with the housing and buttons and pretty much all you do is drop the pieces into the new housing. Look up a few tutorials to see how its done. Also bought a few tools so all in all it was $150.

Warning - Fake screens on eBay

Hello fellow Nexus 4 users.
http://imgur.com/a/mDmv2
I replaced my N4 screen after an unfortunate drop with a replacement assembly available on eBay for approx £35 including frame, digitizer and LCD.
The colours of the screen were appalling. See images in the link. There are counterfeit screens circulating.
May our N4s live on forever more!

Sorry to hear that. Today you can get anything fake from ebay.
Though, it wouldn't be bad if you put link to that buyer or item

The seller has dealt with the issue well so far, I'm not sure they knew they were selling a fake screen. I will post further details if I am not compensated/refunded.

Are you certain it's a counterfeit and not a re-sold piece that had actually failed QA/QC?

I don't think it's possible for an authentic screen to be of such poor quality. You could be right - I dont know much about LCD manufacture

Wondering if it is even worth replacing these parts on a phone that's over 2 years old. Not sure about pricing in UK but here in the US you can pick up a mint or refurbished one for close to the price you paid. If I busted my N4 I think I would prob have to move on and get a newer phone although I would miss perhaps the most perfect phone ever made.
I'm actually debating what to do with a N5 I have with a cracked screen sell it as is or try and find a replacement. The problem I'm Runing into is finding a stock LCD that is not cracked and makes sense price wise. If only I had a screen seperator the stupid glass can be had for $5.

This is the sad truth I've just discovered. I dropped my phone a few months back and now have an unresponsive stripe across my screen...I went looking for a screen replacement to find out I'd only save about $30 as opposed to buying a used mint condition N4. It's not worth the aggravation of doing all that work just to save a couple bucks, IMHO.

Yes I agree. I'm now debating getting a LCD separation machine and try to salvage the digitizer and LCD. Anyone ever attempt such a job?

kgiri247 I know this isn't the place to talk about selling phones but if you do want to sell it I'll more than happily take it off your hands, inbox me if you want to talk numbers! What I do know about separating the LCD and Digitizer is that it's very risky, they're two very delicate pieces of hardware and any mistakes could lead to having an expensive paperweight until you could find a replacement screen for it!

Yeah, it's getting to be a tough decision for a home who has something go wrong on these. I love this phone though as well as the development community for it. I might keep this phone just because the development community is excellent.
However if I had to get a new phone, I saw Amazon is selling the Kindle Fire phone unlocked for $199

as far i can see on your images, your screen is original and coming from LG, how many months do you have it? do you have any other synthom than yellowish colours??

Have you double a check for how many fingers you can press? The N4 is 10 right, but some of the really cheap screens only support 5. You'll know very quickly whether it's fake or not.

bought a replacement screen for the n4 and the screen is horrible. has 2 dead pixels and the viewing angles are the worst ive ever seen on a cellphone.

If it's too good to be true, it usually is I'm afraid. The most expensive parts of a mobile phone are usually the screen and the battery, seeing as both are advanced pieces of technology. Processors, RAM, motherboards etc are cheap in reality, that's why you can buy a pretty powerful Android TV stick for cheap. No battery, no screen.
Nexus 4's are cheap nowadays, smash a screen, it probably isn't worth buying another screen unless you can be guaranteed of OEM'ness. It isn't all that hard to replace a digitizer though, so if your LCD panel is good, it might be worth giving it a try.

Where would you be able to buy a genuine part then?
Is this something you should bite the bullet and send to LG for repair to atleast be guaranteed a genuine part?
Edit
Sorry for bumping an old thread.

I just had mine replaced by LG for a defective ribbon cable which left the touch screen complete unresponsive. I went this route due to all the complaints about bad screens. $160 later, my N4 looks and works great! Pretty expensive though.

I had ordered a replacement from a seller within the US on eBay. I can't seem to find the sale anymore, but it was the real deal.
I had purchased a Nexus 4 and it came with a crappy replacement display, so I ordered a new one and did the swap myself.
It looks like a whole new phone.

Thanks for the info guys!
I'm from the UK like op and I was considering getting the replacement screen myself from ebay but I don't know if the seller replaced the part he gave to op and if it was genuine because they do have some good fakes on ebay.
I might just bite the bullet and do it myself I don't know the price for repair here Reeves360 but I'm sure it'll be similar to what you paid.
These phone manufacturers still charging extortionate prices on a nearly 3 year old phone.

I've long wondered about the legitimacy of the replacement screen I got off eBay. I bought from a seller that had sold a ton of them and had excellent feedback. But the screen always seemed like it was dim (had to crank it all the way up to be as bright as my other devices at 2/3-3/4 max brightness, plus the color is very cool/bluish. But it was always responsive and never had any ghost touches.
However, a couple days ago, it has started to freak out. Occasionally, after touching it, the bottom half or so flashes black. Somtimes it's one flash, sometimes it's a few flashes. It still responds perfectly while doing this, but it's obviously not normal. I disassembled it, gave the connectors a whack of Deoxit and ProGold, and reassembled it, but the glitching still remains, so it's not the connector. I need to try flashing something different (or maybe just dirty flashing LS again) to see if it's ROM or kernel related. I made some changes to Hellscore settings and I finally figured out why my battery life was so atrocious the last few months (it somehow got set minimum 2 cores online), so it's possible I screwed something else up.
If the problem is that it's a fake screen, I doubt the seller was aware.

It was the kernel (settings). Not sure what caused it, but I reflashed the kernel, reinstalled HK manager, and the screen hasn't glitched out since.

Help with lcd replacement kit!

Ok guys I just ordered the cheapest lcd replacement kit(lcd+digitizer without frame) in just 1500₹(~22dollars) from eBay.
Link- https://m.ebay.in/itm/For-OnePlus-O...zer-Without-Frame-1-1-/272463439560?hash=NDY=
P.s.- I applied coupon so don't ask ques like how I got it in such less.
And it is sort of unbranded...
So my ques is that anybody tried any unbranded/generic brand lcd replacement? Is it worth the price and will it work fine? Should I cancel the order if you have better options?
I can get refund if it doesn't work but that's only in like 90% of the cases so what are your suggestions on it?
Thanks!

Looks like you could potentially end up with issues with this screen, if not now, later. If you venture over to /r/mobilerepair, the sidebar has some very good part sources. In my experience, most of the parts of ebay and amazon were "reject" parts that have been refurbished. That said, for a lot of legal reasons, it's hard to find replacement parts with oem logos. Never skimp on yourself when buying repair parts, as you really do get what you pay for in this industry.

So what do you suggest?
Delivery from aliexpress takes 20 days to here so I don't think I can actually order from that.
Finding an oem one in resilient price is challenge.

You're going to have to forget the idea of buying OEM, OEM replacement parts don't exist. The closest thing you'll find are OEM-grade or oem-equivalent. Have you ever repaired your OPO or any phone before? If not, I would suggest this one:
http://m.repairsuniverse.com/oneplus-one-lcd-touch-screen-assembly-with-frame-replacement.html
It has the frame attached, so there won't be any excessive getting or prying at glass, just transfer all the little stuff over.

Yes sir,I do have experience with repairing phones,hardware and stuff and I can easily detach lcd from the frame.
I know eBay is not that trustable but can you see the link that I have given and tell me if it looks promising.
Thanks!
Edit: How can I see if the lcd replacement is OEM-equivalent or not? By it's price,brand or what?
Because the one I have ordered on eBay is unbranded but also the link you gave,doesn't carry any brand name either.
Thanks again.

If i'm not mistaken for OPO there only two manufacturers that makes those LCD replacement...JDI (original manufacturers) and LG (if i'm not mistaken)....there no way to find out which manufacturers that makes those LCD by looking that ebay or something but you can find out when you look closer once it got in your hand....
there two way to find out whether you bought a good LCD or not....
1. look at the hardware button - none original will have a dim/fade light on hardware button....
2. screen brightness - you will notice the differences when you moved the brightness to 100% or to the lowest...
