Cracked screen. How do I know if I'm buying a genuine g5 screen off eBay? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Is it possible to get a lower quality screen? I've never replaced a screen so not sure how this works.

I would recommend Amazon Prime, it's a safer bet.

How much are you planning to spend? My screen was shattered brutally, and LG repaired it for 153 all in (except for shipping the device TO them). Comes with 90 day warranty and of course it's genuine. I'm pretty happy with it, although I'm not 100% they sent me back my original phone, the one I got was almost perfect.

Most screens out there are LG original being that they do sell parts. The ones that would be after market would typically not have the lg logo on them. If you can find parts on ebay I would trust parts that have a JM tag on them or stamp. They're an LG parts distributor. Ultimately go to their website. http://www.epartsolution.com

Where to buy replacement LCD panel

I have a defective screen in my TF201 which is out of warranty, so I am looking to replace it.
After taking apart my prime, I found that it is a Hannstar HSD101PWW2 which no one, not even eBay, seems to stock/sell. There is one retailer in the UK that sells it for £47 (about $75 CAD) which is a great price, though they charge £80 ($126 CAD) to ship it here.
Does anyone have any ideas as to where I might be able to purchase these?
I found one site, however I'm not 100% sold on buying from them since I can't seem to find reviews or opinions on it anywhere.
http://www.os-store.com
Here's a link to the part itself: http://www.os-store.com/new-a-hannstar-10-1-lcd-led-display-screen-panel-hsd101pww2-a00.html
It seems fine, there's just ZERO information about this store on the internet. No one posting in forums asking about it, no one complaining, no advertising anywhere... it's really strange.
Any opinions? Experiences?
Well, tried os-store.com and what a mess that was... Assured me they had it in stock, told me it shipped, then a week later told me it tested faulty and offered me a refund. Not very trusting of Chinese shops when it comes to this stuff...
No one seems to stock this thing - any suggestions?
Replace with TF700? Wait for Note 10.1? Nexus 10 potentially?
Agh..
When I looked into doing this I came to the conclusion that the screen consisted of three parts the lcd panel, the touch digitiser and the glass. This may or not be accurate, it was hard to find all the components. My screen was cracked, it worked for a while then the lcd panel failed. I think from memory the touch digitise was still working when I hooked it up via hdmia. I sent it back to asus for a paid repair.

Sadly my problem is that the LCD panel was defective from day one, no problem with my digitizer/glass at all. I got flicker like crazy for the first little while and then ended up having permanent black bars running across the screen.
The repair on it through ASUS is $300, however I'd rather spend $300 towards a new tablet with warranty rather than blow it on another panel that isn't guaranteed/warrantied at all after the repair. Thinking I might wait for the TF700 to arrive in Canada, however people are saying the same issues exist with that device (browser lag, FC's, etc) so I'm not sure what my best course of action is.
I'd like to avoid ASUS if at all possible, but they make the highest-performance tablets right now even if the firmware for them is terrible.

Did you get your refund? I like to know as my company recently did business with these.
Yes, I got a refund however I wouldn't deal with them again. It's not good business practice to sell products that you don't actually have stock of.
You might order something from them and wait months before it gets to you (if at all) because they order it after you buy it, then they have to wait for it to arrive, then they ship it to you... Not good.

LG Optimus L9 P769 Touch Screen Digitizer.

I just drop my LG phone and I sadly dropped it in the wrong place. I am having a hard time finding a new screen for my phone, can someone help me. And does the p760 screen works with the p769?
Well that's a downer... Fro what I've seen the p760 won't work... I think this might be it, I'd read into it further... Not sure if it's just the parts...

Yeah I'm having the same problem for my wife's phone. No one has the glass part. Etradesupply.com is out of stock too. I'm gonna call them Monday and see when they might expect a stock order. You can find the 760 everywhere.

Same thing happened to me when my phone was three weeks old. My service provider wanted to charge me almost the full price of the phone for the repair. I got the replacement digitizer and glass lens (surprisingly it was an original part that I got haha) through ebay and I did the repair by myself. You should search ebay for the part that you need. It will work out a lot cheaper than sending the phone in for repairs
This user just replaced his P769 glass. Ask him where he got it from.

Add me to the broken screen club
I am in need of a replacement screen, only ones out there are either for the 760, or sold out from china shops online. So if anyone finds a place to buy them please share, thanks!
p769 replacement screen digitizer
Hey guys i found a website aliexpress that says it has it, but many bad reviews, and most likely a scam so watch out for the website.
So you basically need a new lcd? Or just the digitizer and glass? I got my digitizer and glass from China and it was an original part, with correct part number and the original screen protector with the print on. Sometimes these guys sell legitimate stuff for great prices

idk about overseas merchants, and the payment options money order etc. seem questionable.. If you do go through with the process, share your results
I wont say that I recommend buying from a merchant overseas, but the website looks all right and everything looks secure. It is much better than trying to work a phone with shattered glass
UPDATE
Ebay now has p769 digitizers for 50$, from china and search "OEM Touch Screen Digitizer LENS FOR LG Optimus L9 p769 T-mobile black" it looks oem but the back looks odd, but check them out doesn't hurt to look
I bought this one from Hong Kong. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=130904045759
I'll have to wait and see.

waiting game
Still no support on the p769 l9 digitizer screen replacement. Though i heard if you contact dealers that sell lcd/digitizer combo and request digitizer only they can sometimes work out a deal. Until then back to waiting
FINALLY!
Hey guys there is finally a ebay dealer in the U.S who has OEM p769 digitizer screens. only 8 left. would grab one before they sell out! :good:
I just saw the ad on ebay. It looks like a really good deal. Good luck with the repair

Looking for OEM LCD + Digitizer assembly

As the title says would love to get a confirmed oem or close to one at least, any links would be helpful!
My device is a d855.
TIA
Did you check on eBay?

I managed to break my g3 screen and need replacement.
Have you receive it? I want buy from mobilepartskoria but I just worry about UK import duty.
Yes, I received it in Paris a few days ago.
Two weeks from Korea to France.
No import duty.
It works fine, very clean (grade A++ as mentionned) et all small parts were included and work fine.
Do not buy parts from FixEz.com they sell substandard parts and claim OEM Dont even have gorilla glass on there screens
Try www.aliexpress.com
I was taking video in snowy day, and now my screen doesn't turn on. It rarely turns on and everything(+touch) works fine for a couple seconds, then it turns black.
What part do I need to buy? Do I need a screen digitizer?
I think there are some on ebay priced $10-15 which I think they're glass. Does it worth to buy it?
A good condition G3 itself costs about $100, so I don't think it worth to pay $37 for a good grade A screen.
Can I separate digitizer and LCD ? Edit: I just realized that the touch works, no matter the screen is black or not (when phone is unlocked). Because I connected it to my laptop using Vysor, and I can see the screen without problem on my windows.
I found these 3 items, which one do I need? Since my frame and touch doesn't have problem, just the screen is black or off.

New Screen for G5

HI, I'm looking to order a new screen online and replace it myself.
I see lots at very reasonable cost on ebay and alliexpress. I'm just wondering if some of them are not original. In fact not all the suppliers even say that the product is OEM. They say things like 'if fits your G5 perfectly' which seems an odd think to say in any respect. I'm in west europe so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate. A supplier from UK rather than China would be great as I need it asap !

Well i live in the UK and have ordered a new screen off ebay twice, neither of them claiming to be OEM and they have worked perfectly. First one experienced screen burn after a while, just like my OEM screen. Second one i currently have is perfect no screen burn and personally I can't see a difference in screen quality compaired to OEM.
One thing you absolutely MUST do is buy a screen that includes a FRAME, do not i repeat do not buy the screen without the frame pre-glued to the back. I did this with my first screen and i had to rip the frame off the old screen and glue it onto the new one. Makes like 100x more complicated.

HI, thanks for that. I'm in Ireland and intend to buy from a UK seller as no one sells them on ebay Ireland. Would you mind to tell me the ebay shop you bought the good screen from without the screen burn, I'd greatly appreciate it!
And yes you are right , buying with the included frame makes perfect sense as I've noticed they don't cost much more than the digitizer alone and would make the process so much easier!

Screen cracked, options and alternatives, is it possible to replace glass only?

Hello everyone,
I have cracked the v30 screen after a 1.5 meters fall on the sidewalk, had a case and all.
Looking online I have found screen glass only (without the oled display and digitizer) for about 5$ and a full screen with digitizer for about 150$.
Could not find any replacement guide for glass only, is it even possible?
I also have checked with a few labs regarding replacement work and as I understand the phone will not be water resistant after the replacement,
LG labs included (at least in my country).
If I decide to do it on my own, does anyone have info on how to restore water resistant after a screen replacement.
Happy to finally join the community,
Thank you

One of the tear down videos on YouTube says water resistance should be almost like factory if done right.

What screen protector were you using? Any decent protector would not only protect from direct impacts, but buffer from stresses. (Please don't tell us, with all the discussion of them, that you got a case and not a screen protector!)
Larger cities, such as NYC, tend to have cell phone repair places. They probably don't stock the LG screens - Samsung and Apple mostly - but you could probably make an appointment and have them do it.
I'm going to guess that replacing just the glass isn't a viable option. Just like the samsung edge devices t2je curved screen will prove to be very difficult to deal with.
Replacing the whole screen looks extremely easy from a video I watched a whilw back. Nearly anyone can do it.
I can't find any guides for replacing a cracked screen either.
My phone screen still works fine but just doesn't look great with all the cracks I have in it now after an unfortunate drop.
From watching tear down videos, it seems impossible to replace just the glass and so the parts needed to fix it are about $200... and even if I bought them, I wouldn't know how to do it myself.
LG won't even give me a price estimate or time estimate if I send it to them to fix. They charge $20 just to diagnose it after you send it to them before they'll give you any price to fix or time to fix estimates.
I'll probably just sell this phone as is and get what little I can out of it and move on to a newer phone like the Galaxy S9+.
I've decided it is cheaper to have LG fix a cracked screen. The cost is $146 (you pay the shipping to them, they cover the cost of shipping the phone back to you).
The only downside is the time it takes (up to 2 weeks)... but it's cheaper than all the kits I've found to do it yourself plus you know it'll be done right and your phone will still be under warranty.
Glass only repair is a very tough work, especially for LG V30 with curved screen, you could possibly ruin the whole screen. I think it's better to change a whole new display, there's a screen completely repair tutorial on Youtube, made by Wit Rigs, you could take that as a reference.
