I am on the hunt for a replacement touch screen and lcd assembly.
Is there a source for quality parts?

eBay might be your best bet.
I have been looking for a couple myself. and I too have been having trouble finding reliable resources that carry the entire assembly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the assembly should include more than just the glass correct? I wish I had gotten the couple I have seen a few months ago that were $24 a piece. Those were the cheapest ones I've seen since. I looked a few days ago and most of the prices we're high enough that you may be better off just buying a brand new tablet. So my advice would be to look for damaged or irreparable tablets for parts where the screen is not damaged or broken but everything else maybe such as the board. But if anyone does come across some decent replacements at a pretty good cost that's not expensive let me know because I'd definitely buy a few.

So just two days ago I asked about a case for my wife's new G2x. I took your guys advice and ordered the $25 case (forgot the name of that brand though).
BUT, today she dropped the phone (it's unbelievable!) and the screen is smashed. I mean cracked like a cracked glass. You can't even see anything when you turn it on.
What do I do now? Throw this phone to the garabage? Buy a new LCD? If buy a new LCD, how to look for one? OEM? Non-OEM? eBay? LG's site?
Any advice on this would be very helpful.
Thanks!
There are phone repair shops that can fix it for you I think. I tried to replace an ipod battery once, which required removing the screen, and I cracked it trying to open it. I'll never mess with a screen myself again. Ipod glass and digitizer repair was like $60, no clue on G2X.
Edit - I might just be clumsy, and if you're good with your hands, you very well might be able to do it yourself for cheaper.
buy from ebay and have someone replace it. should cost about $50 - $70
its probably a lot cheaper to just replace the screen, but you would have to order the parts and fix it/ have somebody else fix it.
In my opinion if you dont mind spending a little cash i would just dump it for a sgsII or a GNex
borken glass
so ye i was clutz and dropped my phone and is cracked through out. looks like the screen is fine behind the glass. so my question is where should i go to replace the glass particularly in the gta area? i heard samsung doesnt do a great job. any hellp is appreciated thank you
I did mine myself and have had no problems since. There's a youtube on dismantling the phone that can walk you through it if you're not comfortable doing this kind of thing. The only real problem is the money... the cheapest I was able to find a replacement for was $170 on ebay. But, the seller was reputable, and the replacement was new. The issue is the fact that the glass, digitizer and LCD are made as one piece. I have an extra bezel/backpanel from attempting to extract the broken glass from the LCD. Only the bezel/backpanel survived. Its still better than paying sombody $250 to do it for you. Unless you have insurance that is...

I'm be looking for a replacement part for my Photon Q: it has dropped and the external plastic, the one around the screen section, got scratched. NOT the screen, just the rectangular plastic around the phone. I would need to buy a genuine replacement, cheap, if possible, for it.
I will be buying the Otterbox Commuter also, since I don't want it to get in bad cosmetical state so quickly, again.
Thanks for the help
Tony
Any help?
Other than the obvious - ebay and the like... I am not aware of any place that specifically sells hardware like that.
Good luck.

Wow, that's actually really helpful, thanks, I was looking for a something like this a while ago, just so I can experiment with the phone.
Thanks again.
Last night my S3 fell face first cracking the screen. Well the thing is, what exactly is cracked? Glass, LCD, or (most likely not) Digitizer? The phone works and the only damage would be a screen with cracks Lol. I would take it through insurance (best buys) but at the moment me and the account holder (brother in law) aren't on speaking terms, I'm sure I need him to replace my phone, even though I do still have the receipt and such.
Please help, and thank you.
Edit: I'm also rooted and have a custom ROM. My USB cable went out on me, so I can't Odin to stock anyways.
Note: yes this is a screenshot, the picture was uploaded to Facebook from my iPod, and screenshoted by my s3.

If the screen lights up with no dead spots or stuck pixels and the touch still works, I would say just the glass.

I believe the digitizer & glass are replaced as a unit. You can replace just the glass if you'd like to try it:

But sometimes it just pays to replace the Assembly, and pay the extra bucks
If you search, I'm sure there are reputable places that will supply & install the set up for about $100?
Maybe a lot more? I don't know what the actual prices are for the S3 assembly.
An estimate I received from a local shop when I had my S2 on Sprint awhile ago was $85.
I mention the above cost way because it appears you can't have your BinLaw do it at this time, for whatever the Best Buy cost would be, if any.
When I received my estimate, there were 2 types of connectors used, so the dealer had to be sure he had the correct one in stock.
I believe I ended up going through Asurion at the time.
I just did a quick search and found this:

Yikes!!
You may want to have a temporary truce, and speak with your BinLaw
I would take it to Best Buy, cause they will probably just give you a Brand new phone(well usually they do) and i think the LCD is fine, just the glass is cracked
You can buy just the glass and replace just that. Need a heat gun or hair dryer and an exacto knife. The only thing is be careful with the heat because u can lose color on the LCD if you fry one spot too long. There are videos online. It took me a little over 30 Min to replace. The glass costed $20 and the gun was 25.. Cheaper than insurance replacement. And if u bought the 2 together that's almost 200.

Hi, I do phone repairs for a living.
The digitizer is part of the glass. The display panel (which is not an LCD, but an AMOLED) is a separate piece. They come from the factory as one entire assembly though.
The assembly is very expensive as there are no aftermarket alternatives available.
There is a thread here on xda and also one of my local competitors does glass-only replacements. However, I don't think this is a very good idea. I've personally done touchscreen replacements on more than 10 S3s and while I've never tried to replace just the glass, it seems more difficult, time consuming, and higher risk. It's much easier and faster to just replace the whole unit and doing it this way results in higher quality workmanship with greater consistency.
If insurance is not an option, expect to pay $250 or higher if you replace the entire touchscreen, whether you do it yourself or pay someone else too.
There are benefits to paying someone: it's much quicker than waiting for a box in the mail (I can do it in about 20 mins), a shop may warranty the display (even if for a short time), and we won't give a **** if you've rooted your phone.
But i believe the Bestbuy insurance he has doesn't require a deductible so it wouldnt cost him anything to replace, i could be wrong though
Hi guys, so the mini cracks all around the plastic edges.
That comes as one piece, it's just the back case.
Anyone know where to get it fixed for the cheapest possible?
I'm in the uk.
Wow, this happens to all the handsets and no one's got a solution? I know I can get a replacement back for £25 and take it to a shop where Labour is £35. So £60 is my best shot. I just thought seeing as it's such a common fault there would be a service dedicated to fixing it.
