I bought an unlocked Nokia 7.1 a few days ago and sadly dropped the device two days later, cracking the rear glass panel. I didn't buy an extended warranty either and the standard one obviously doesn't cover accidental drops. Anyway, I'm going to replace the rear panel but I can't seem to locate a replacement part anywhere online despite searching for hours.
Can someone tell me where I might be able to buy this part? FYI, I've already looked on Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress, DHgate, banggood, etc. and haven't found anything other than this scammy looking website: https://www.maxbhi.com/back-panel-cover-for-nokia-7.1-blue.html
I dropped mine too
Did you find a genuine dealer after that ??

Hi.
Where can I buy a replacement LCD for HTC Herald? Is it difficult to replace it myself?
The best place to purchase a screen would be straight from china. If you want I can contact my link in china for the price of an lcd, or you can try and find one on e-Bay. I've done quite a few lcd and housing replacements for Pocket Pc devices and I suggest that you dont do it unless you know what you are doing. One of my friends even took his device to a real technician and he still messed it up. My suggestion would be to find a certified technician and make sure that they offer a warranty service for 3-6 months after the servicing.
EDIT: you must find the HTC model number of the LCD, and use that to search. Even though its the same size as the wizards, the flex cable might be in a different position. Also I think it would be quite hard to change without a corresponding service manual. My LCD was replaced also, but at the time it was still under international warranty, so I decided to send it in to HTC. HTC also modded my phone by adding an extra plate in between the slide out keyboard and the screen, has made the slide out more sturdy.

Do you have a link for a china webshop where they have it?
I will contact them when I get home and get them to send an English link to their website. In the meantime try to find a service manual for the Herald.
I don't mean to advertise, but I got my LCD from here when I cracked mine.

$60 for a perfect OEM screen with touch sensor is a DAMN fine deal, and they were pretty much the only site I could find under a hundred bucks.

That's a damn nice site! too bad I would not risk repairing it myself, and going to a technical repair guy with your own stuff is not an option lol
i got a replacement screen from CNN.CN via fedex and it arrived in 3 days. fitted it myself, as i have replaced several phone housings in the past. it can be a bit of a mission, took me 2 hours with rest breaks and no rushing.
as long as your patient and methodical, it can be done yourself.

So yesterday I got a little drunk & waked up today just to realise that I cracked my phone's screen. We somehow jumped over a fence and as far as I remember, my phone flew out of my pocket on concrete from about 4-5 feet. I just bought it & as far as I know, warranty does not apply to these kind of repairs. I searched the web a little & came down to two options. Pay 200 bucks for repairs at certified repair shops or order the glass & repair it myself. 2nd option. Housing itself & digitizer is fine, that's a relief.. Just the glass itself is cracked.
So the question is, I see many options on ebay starting from 8 bucks to 50 bucks. I don't want to replate gorilla glass with something more vulnerable to scratches, so my option would be one of those 50 buck worth gorilla glass that ebay sellers claim to be 'original'. What are the possibilities that that glass is just an overpriced ripoff?

28.7478% chance.
Do the usual things when you buy online mate, check the sellers feedback etc.
The glass is glued to the digitizer, very difficult to separate - that's why the proper repair is so expensive as they won't replace just the glass.

The whole front unit is $200 if I'm not wrong. I've watched many videos on how to replace just the front glass, It's not impossible. Here on xda are many threads about this as well, you don't have to buy the whole front of the phone & you don't have to pay more than 100 bucks for repairs.
Hi, my phone just fell and the glass of the rear camera broke.. got shattered... I need a replacement for taht glass..
Anyone knows where to find it?

That's what I found for you, it seems to be a Chinese company (but OP is Chinese also), so you might want to give it a try if that works for you, the also posted a YouTube guide on how to replace it
https://youtu.be/XRqHH9tb2cM
You should contact OnePlus first and see what they will charge. For the full screen on a OnePlus 3 was like $85 or so, which was cheaper than eBay.
Hi all,
I got my replacement screen in the last couple of months - £80 for it...not great but I couldn't live with the scratch it had
I managed to get my camera glass broken even without dropping it. I don't know how. They said camera glass is 25€ here in Europe. Screen is for quite a good price. They said it's like 95€ which is not that bad considering that on the it's 120 part only.
Unfortunately my phone dropped and th glass back cracked. Where can I get a replacement done or buy the part. I looked at the ifixit tear down and some videos on YT and am confident this can be a DIY.
Can anyone recommend where I can buy this glassback OEM replacement part or any recommendations fr replacement services
Btw only cosmetic damage occurred. Phone functions 100 as per normal no issues with wireless charging too. I can of course slap a normal tpu case on it and forget about the crack but am curious about replacing costs and potential.
Thanks.
Not sure where you can get replacement parts yet, but the IP68 rating will be lost the second you replace the back. If that's not an issue for you, then go for it, but it may be worth contacting Huawei to see what options they may have for repairing it.
Hey there, I hope this is the right place to post this, and if not, I apologize.
The glass in one corner of my S7 Plus tablet is cracked and I am looking to get it fixed, depending on cost. The touchscreen still seems to be unaffected by the broken glass, so I did not think I would need to replace the LCD screen, just the glass.
I contacted a local phone repair place near me to see if I bought a glass panel from Amazon and brought it to them with my tablet if they could do the replacement. They said that it would need to be the glass and LCD screen because they are fused together. The cost of the repair work would be around $130. That did not seem too high to me, but I have never been in this position before, so I have nothing to compare it to.
I have looked online for the cost to get the glass and LCD from Samsung (genuine part would keep the warranty intact from what I have read) and I am only finding pricing for Samsung Australia. That price was around $325 (if I did the conversion right), so I would be looking at over $450 (not counting shipping for the glass and LCD) at minimum.
I am not comfortable trying to replace the glass and LCD myself, so I know my options may be limited. My concern is that for $450 I could instead buy another nice Android tablet (or a Windows one that I can install Linux onto, which I kind of want to do anyways). Is anyone aware of any other replacement options I might be able to try or are worth investigating? This was the one time I did not get the extended warranty from Amazon that would have covered this damage...
Any advice, help, or ideas are greatly appreciated!

You want a OEM part not a CCP knockoff; the display quality may be inferior or have interface issues.
If it's an LCD display a used OEM one should work fine. Those can likely be found for cheap.
Or simply use as is.
Watch a tear down vid. I'm don't think they're fused. Most are not... although I maybe mistaken.

So that was my first thought, but the repair shop said they were fused and when I searched YouTube for repair videos a couple mentioned needed to heat the glass (broken one not the new one) to remove it and then gently remove residue or something. I am not confident in being able to do the repair myself (hands shake too much and really bad carpal tunnel) and am worried I would break it in the process.

Do some more research. If the are available used on ebay, it's not that hard!
Probably a heat gun properly used will do the job fine.
Lots of repair shops around and online; find a less greedy one. Or a knowledgeable tech at church etc willing to help.
Do Not get isopropyl or any solvents near the liquid crystal display!!!
It will poison it. The sides of the panel are not sealed.
Thanks for the advice. I will do some more research and see what I can find. Hopefully, I can figure out something that doesn't cost as much, but will still work well. I am still kicking myself for not putting it in a protective case and getting the extended warranty from Amazon that would have covered this.

I don't think it will be as bad as you think if you get the right person to repair it.
Just be careful with it for now. Make sure all your critical data is redundantly backed up.
I case everything... it's the only reason my devices weren't destroyed long ago.
