Cracked Screen Advice needed Please

[jab1a]

Hi i have had my M5000 for ages now and i thought that i was always careful of it, untill i got sloppy and and it in my pocket while moving PC's around. To my horror i found that i had cracked the screen quite bad, the touch screen still works over the cracked LCD.

I checked my insurance and its gonna cost me like £45 excess to get it repaired, I know this isn't much compared to the price of a new phone but i was wondering:

Does anyone have or know of a cheap replacment screen i could buy instead of claiming on insurance (because i know if i send it for repair on the insurance then im not gonna had the phone for 2weeks at least, where i can just replace the screen in an evening).

Thank you for any help and advice in advance

Hi,

Just had an MDA Pro screen replaced by these chaps in Wimbledon:

http://www.xdarepairs.co.uk

Cost quoted was about £110 +VAT + Postage fitted, or £90 +VAT for the part on its own. All in, the screen, including fitting, was not much more than the screen on its own from ebay.

Posted to them on Tuesday at 16:45 and received back on Thursday at 08:45. Working beautifully again.

Not had any luck finding a screen cheaper than this

May be worth trying to see if insurance can get screen repaired through them, as it only took 40 hours from posting it to getting it back again.

Brilliant, Thank you for your reply, i will suggest that to the insurance when i phone them for the refit.

Thanks
