[Q] Screen Broken - Advice - AT&T LG Optimus G

Good Day All,
I am in a bit of a predicament. On Saturday, I had my phone in hand and heard a *crack* (I can only suppose my subconscious telekinetic powers were left on), looked down and noticed that there was a somewhat small crack about 1.5 inches up from the back capacitive button all the way across to the home cap button. Basically making any key presses in that lower region of my screen and cap buttons unusable.
I just watched the YouTube tear down video and I'm curious as to if I purchase the Touch Digitizer Screen Assembly(See pics below) will this cover everything that I need for the replacement?

I found a US supplier on eBay with it for $170.99 with a decent ship time (4 business days).
--I have noticed that Most of the non-ebay suppliers are out of stock on the digitizer all together.
Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated.

Because the local "fixers" are gonna want to charge a markup on the actual screen/assembly while still adding on for repairing the damage. Versus actually buying the part myself and giving it to them to fix(Which is also a probably option).

Have you contacted LG. I heard they do the repairs too. It's obviously much safer and I think cheaper.

waaaaaaaa! I Broke it :(

I feel like crying, I had the XDAII in my back pocket and i sat down. The screen hasn't cracked but the display has gone completely. See below

Any idea what I can do to get my beloved XDAII working again. anyone had any success chaning the screens?
Any help would be much apprecieated
no offense, mate, but OUCH! :!: given that the screen didn't crack...and with that awful black streak across the monitor...i wonder if this means that the actual lcd got busted....apologies as i didn't mean to rub salt on the wound.... :wink: cheers
-r
:shock:
Well, after you get it fixed, at least you have learned where NOT to keep your XDA. :wink:
http://www.pdasmart.com/ they do replacements seems a pretty reasonable price too.
thanks for suggesting PDASmart. Unfortuneately they do not supply a replacement LCD for the XDAII
Anyone else know where I can get it repaired? I dont want to spend another £400 on a new one.
i got my xda II from ebay for £260, £275 inlcuding delivery. you should check there if you do have to get a new one. but yeah, ouch

In looking at the PDASmart site it does seem they can replace the LCD, but only if you ship it to them.

My experience
I cracked my screen at work. I sent it to the manufacturer in the US in Houston. The customer service was very civil, but I had to light a small fire fire under their butts to get them moving on my phone. When it was all said and done, they sent me a brand new phone and it cost me like 160USD. /shrug, hope this helps!
@tnel20
Check out this ebay listing...supposedly there are two types of LCDs for the 8525, the LCD model number is on the back so you can make sure you get the right one:

You could ask the ebay seller just to be sure...my guess is that it would be the Toppoly LCD. Hopefully, you'll get a quick response if you ask.

In need of a keypad+wheel

I have been checking some online-shops (inc. ebay) in the search of the keypad(plastic thingie, without circuits) with a wheel but with no luck - they are not sold separately from housing, nor many housings are sold without them.
Can anyone give me a clue if I can find that piece somewhere?
It seems there is a thin metalic layer. This one is very fragile: on my phone, this layer begins to peel off. Does anyone know how to change it?

that same **** happens to me, but no that serious, only the little "line" that its in the red and green icons. I guess that your using your fingernails, right?
Nope. But when cleaning my screen, I put a little bit of water on it, then rub it with a tissue. I think the tissue gets caught on the small holes and tear off the metallic layer... One of my colleague has the same problem.
Once it has begun, you cannot stop the layer unsticking.
Uh! need!!
Yes I me too..
please help... broken idem.-
Mine is even worse not even the metal layer has been scratched off but the keypad is also cracked in the middle and the scroll-wheel does not work
This keypad is really a crap. And the phone surface is not guaranteed by HTC (of course)!
I will receive an HD 2 in a few days. My operator could rebuy my Polaris for 18 € (for recycling it)
to wagner51
dude if you're gonna sell it that cheap, let me know. i'll give you an alright price for it with postage etc
same problem
I am facing the same problem: the metallic-coated front panel is scratchy, and just last week it was broken from the upper middle section. If anyone could give advice on how to fix/replace it, it would be most appreciated.

[Q] Vibrant piledrived by 3 different cars

Events prior to cracking my screen:
► Happy hour at Yardhouse bar
► 7 consecutive games of beer pong
After getting out of the car following my fastfood drivethu order to smoke and a few minutes had passed, I discovered my phone along with its Body Glove backside laying facedown in the drive-thru.
Damage as follows:

}
Phone still functions, adb pulled the files off the internal sd. At first a small area of pixels in the bottom right had bled blueish white light, but after a little while the screen died. The 4 touch buttons and their backlights are functional.
Seeing as the price of replacement parts exceeds the contract-value of the phone, what would be the cheapest alternative to repairing the screen?
Craigslist a cheap Vibrant salvage donor?
i'd like to give it to my father's as a gift if it' not going to violate my pockets.
If ttoo much of it is broken, consider selling the parts that DO work
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Sorry to hear about the phone =/
I bought a vibrant for my sis yesterday off Craigslist for 130 newish, if it helps. I think a new glass'll be like 16 off ebay and a new LCD just as much. It's a pain to do it though, I'm sure.

General Oppo Find N screen already broken

Very unfortunate, the main screen of my brand new Oppo Find N is already broken. I haven't dropped it or covered it with dust or sand, just had it in my pocket for 5 days. When I opened it today there was this white line. With the finger i felt a piece of dust beneath the screen - the hinge seems not very safe against dust from the pocket. It reminds me of the first Galaxy Fold which was very sensitive. Very unfortunate. I hope no one else has a similiar issue, I'll send it back for warranty coverage...

Wooooow
Thats a bit concerning…
That is very concerning for sure. I spent a lot of money for the phone and question the type of warranty I will get from the seller I purchased from. I had not even thought about this outcome before and has me very concerned for sure.
Wooh this is not good... Hope you can get some help with the seller or through de warranty....
Cheers
Did you resolve the issue via seller or source a repair (presumably screen replacement?) - I'm looking at a phone with a similar issue - did it need to go back to china to be repaired & did that happen okay?
I'd be interested in your outcome
OP no longer posts in XDA forums hence no matter whether his phone was repaired or not, it seems he moved to iOS.
Device was replaced.
where did you get your device replaced? I have the exact same thing happened to my phone!
Same question. I have a black dot (diameter 0,4 cm ) on the unfolded screen
