Cracked Screen

[TyDoc]

Dropped my phone last night. The FIRST time I have dropped it too... Anyways, two cracks running through the screen have limited my touch screen capabilities significantly... I have alltel and no insurance. What are the chances of getting a new one?!?! Also, if i find the parts how easy would it be to replace???

The USB port on my out of warranty Mogul broke and I had no insurance. I was sweating the cost and that I had an unofficial ROM on the phone. The rep at the Sprint repair ctr didn't even turn on the Mogul when I explained the problem. It was swapped out with a new unit (not refurb) for $35. I got the feeling that the failed port is so common that they don't even bother to check it. If my screen was cracked, she wouldn't have known (and for all I know, it might have been $35 for a broken screen anyway). Now this was Sprint not Alltel, so ymmv. I would take it in, play dumb and see what they will do for you. Swapping out a screen on this phone will be far from easy!

buy just the screen + digitizer off ebay its like 50 bucks. i have already replaced mine twice. i suggest you buy a precision screw driver that matches the phones screws so you dont strip them. like 6 buxks at home depot

not sure if this comes with the digitizer but yours may still be fine
