Hey fellow SGH-i777 users:
I cracked my screen a few weeks ago and I've been looking for a replacement. Nothing on eBay seems to be too decent plus they want 65%+ the cost of a new SGS2 for the screen and digitzer. Do any of you have a phone with a motherboard that gave up the ghost you'd be willing to sell me at a decent price?
I'm trying to hold on to this phone until something much better comes along (it sure as hell isn't the GS4) and I'd appreciate your help in keeping my older device trucking along.
Thanks!
I've seen them go cheap on Craig's list and ebay
Edit: I mean the phone with a cracked screen not the LCD and digitizer .
You can get a used screen for 90 or new for 120 On eBay. Buy a screen, unlock it and sell it on eBay for 160+ when you get a new phone

If you have "Iphone doctor" store in your area they'll fix it right around 100 dollars with a 90 day warranty

Is that screen and digitizer or just screen
When I took my sons android there they told me they had replaced both when I picked it up and it only took an hour.

This hasn't been my experience; every place by me (Atlanta) won't touch my screen because it's Samsung and they all hate the way the screen is attached to the digitizer. So I've resigned myself to just dealing with it. It's only noticeable at certain angles, but it runs straight across the screen.

My phone has a spider web shape crack look on the screen. Phone is fully functional. Phone calls and data are fine too. I have no insurance. Any ideas on what I should do? I suppose I can get a free 3gs and use that until contract expires. Or pay $500 upfront for a new atrix too.

Just spend $40 on Ebay and get a new glass.
Get a replacemnt glass and fix yourself or get one used off craigslist.
I voided my warranty.

I've replaced my glass twice - it's pretty easy.
Here is the place I bought it from:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180688922991
and there are videos on ebay that are very detailed on the process
If you decide you don't want to repair it, let me know how much you want for it.

Yes it's really easy. There's tons of tutorials (video and ifixit instructions) I'll admit that the ifixit instructions make it look scary, lol. I'd just follow the video.
Thanks guys. I bought one from ebay for $32 and shipping from nyc. Gonna give it a crack. Pun intended.

I borked my phone. I tore off the the orange triangle shaped ribbon thing. Like the other guy did. (I think it's the guy from Brazil or something.)

I had mine broken a couple weeks ago. I searched on Craigslist inside service for ppl that replaces screen and it costed me $95 to have the screen replaced with a brand new one original one and I can't tell that it was ever replaced. It took them 1hour from the time I dropped of to get the service done.

I ebay'ed that part before and thought I could buy that too, but I'm on the fence about going through repairs again. It looks easy enough to replace the orange triangle though.
Guys anybody knows where to get the digitizer for the galaxy note i717 or any news when is coming out.......

If you need a new screen, Samsung will replace it for 197$, which is currently cheaper than all of the digitizers out at the moment, mine was 2 weeks from my hands back to my hands
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Saw a couple on ebay for 284.00 each. Prior to that, ebay again for the n7000 for 250.00. Otherwise, yes, send to Samdung for 197.00 and tehy fo the work too!

Yeah but what i need is the out side glass not the entire LCD for the n7000 on eBay is less then $20

I just need to Glass Screen
I saw the replacement glass on ebay for other models too but nothing for the SGH-I717 if any one gets a line on one please post it. I cant see spending about 200 to replace the whole thing from sasung and I cant see spending 200 deductable that att insurance has. if i knew the insurance deductable was 1/3 the cost of a new phone from att never opted for it.
Just wanted to know how much I can sell it for to get closer to the cost of getting the note II. How much would you guys sell it for. Its just the glass cracked everything else still works. Plus you can barely tell that its cracked besides the left side.

Screen repair is about $200 plus the hassle. So a note in good condition is about $300, I would pay $50 for it.
What he said^^
It's arm and a leg trying to replace just the glass and you risk damaging it even worse if you try it yourself with no experience. Not sure what a repair store would charge. But the assembly like stated above, is around $200. You can pick up a decent Note now for $200-250. I'd either keep it, or expect some extremely low offers. A cracked screen is a cracked screen regardless of how minute it may be.
Much to my surprise some kid offered me 185 fir my broken note so I just picked up the note 2 this morning! !!

I don't think insurance covers broken glass. I asked the guy at the AT&T repair center if insurance would have paid for my cracked glass and he said, "no".
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
that's why I didn't get the insurance, the only reason I'd get it is to get it replaced for free if I dropped it or somehow broke the screen...
So what good is their insurance then if it doesn't cover a cracked screen?

Man that sucks. I have two notes. One is mine that I always use and its got a dead pixel. The other one has a cracked screen. Its barely cracked but still. I want to ditch them both and get a galaxy nexus or a note with no issues! Haha

looking to let go of the cracked screen 1?
Its not worth fixing.
Unless I could get a screen cheap but still OEM quality.
For that 200 bucks ....your well on the way too a note 2.
I guess it just comes down to your particular situation.
Either way ...sorry about the screen damage ...it sucks ...g

thats why i never get at&t's insurance. i buy all my phones from Best Buy. for $10 a month they cover anything and everything. if you drop it, break the screen, pee on it, your dog chewed it....dont matter, they send it out for repair and you get another one. before i got the Note i had a Dell Streak that i got from Best Buy. i Broke the screen like 5 times and every time they just gave me another one - no questions asked.:good:

u can get OEM quality but OEM quality isnt cheap because its the LCD and the front glass
So I've had my dna for a week and a half when my screen shattered. Ironically enough the screen protectors I ordered came in 5 minutes later. I've been scavenging the Web but can't find any replacement screens. Does anyone know if they plan to sell them in the future or is there no hope? Also if anyone has/hears of a broken dna with functional screen I'd love to arrange a deal

Were you able to locate a screen repair kit? Mine just broke also.
I am also curious about this I have a spare DNA with a broken screen...
Check eBay guys, they're readily available on there.

You do not want to attempt this without an LCD. The digitizer and LCD are fused. Skytrade on Alibaba sells both separately for about $150 total at the time of this post.
If you have only had it for a week and a half can't it be returned or replaced by Verizon? If you bought it there.

he would only be able to return it to verizon if:
1. there was nothing wrong with it and he just changed his mind(within 14 days)
2. it was defective in some way out-of-the-box.
since there's damage to the phone, he wouldn't be able to take it back. it could only be replaced "damaged" through insurance.
Anyone tried this yet? My wife's DNA just broke as well and so far the cheapest place taking them in and repairing it would be $300... anything around 100- 150 and I would be intrigued to do it myself... apparently she is not happy with my old Droid X....go figure ...
Just do insurance replacement for $99. You get brand spanking new phone with 2.04 if lucky maybe 1.15

I actually have a DNA taken apart at home right now and I'm waiting for a screen to come in. There are some companies on eBay that sell them from 130-200. Most of them ship from China so they will take a couple of weeks to get here, but its a lot cheaper then having HTC or Verizon do it. The instructions to take it apart on YouTube are where you'll want to start, and of you need the screen within a reasonable amount of time, then injured gadgets on eBay ships from the USA, but they are like 40 bucks more than the cheapest display. Just search "droid DNA assembly" on eBay and get whichever one you want.

What's your reason for paying more and waiting couple weeks for the screen? Is it cause u have root??
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Well I paid 134 for my screen, and haven't even used the phone yet. I got the parts from my step dad because his coworker dropped it and shattered the glass and LCD. He said if I could fix it, its mine, and now I just have to wait for the screen. I'm using my galaxy nexus right now and I love the phone, so I'm alright with waiting for the screen.

That's understandable! Good luck with the repair.

Just had mine fixed last week. Screen/LCD/labor was $265 with 99 day warranty. First time the screen touched the LCD and the bottom lights didn't work. Took it back the next day and they fixed it. Bottom lights still aren't right, but the screen touch was fixed. When I took it in originally, they told me they wouldn't do just the digitizer. They had tried before and couldn't get it to sit/seal correctly. Good luck with your replacement screen, and let it's know how it turns out.

I came from the GNEX to. The DNA stock or modified is worlds beyond the Gnex. You are going to love it!
I work for a wirelesszone and you can buy a insurance for a phone at any time 99.99 for the 2 years and 75.00 deductible so for a DNA replacement it would cost only 175 shipped with asurion you can only get it within the first 30 days

Yes, I have found the video on how to take it apart, even so the video I watched did not take the screen out. It seems in my case only the glass in the front of the phone is broken (since all functions on the phone still work and the LCD display looks okay) I have heard the the LCD and the digitizer are somehow heat fused together. Therefore the LCD with digitizer should be the way to go. But I have not pulled the trigger on the e-bay purchase. I'm very interested on how this goes for you.
By the way I can't get an insurance claim or phone the cheapest refurbished Verizon 4G phone would be $350 and they wouldn't even have the DNA as refurbished yet.
So I cracked my screen while working today. I have a protector on it but it hit on gravel just perfect. A local repair shop wants to charge me $239.00 plus tax to repair. They want to replace both glass and digitizer. They say this way ensures no air bubbles. Will I be paying too much? Is it easy to replace where I can do it for much less?
