OT - Were to buy new screen for a mobile
mcerd1 - 30/7/13 at 10:09 PM

the GF has managed to crack the screen of her galaxy s3 today, and its not the outer glass its the screen itself, so no chance of cheap repair


so far I've seen them selling on ebay/amazon etc.. for ~£130+p&p
but even then its not shops I know or would trust (lots of brand new sellers... etc)

so were should I look to get a proper genuine screen with no hassle ? (and a bit cheaper too for preference)

I cracked mine and bought a screen off ebay. was a few months ago now and it was £150.

Right pain in the arse to do as well. You need to strip your old phone and remove all the switches, speakers, buttons, wires aerials etc and fit them to the new one.

You not got insurance on it?

Have you tried calling Carphone warehouse? S2 screen repairs are far cheaper than I was expecting...

S2 screens are far cheaper than s3 screens though

Do you not have any insurance with your bank? I smashed my s2 screen a few days after I got it when they were new. I think it only cost 20 quid for the excess.
