Cracked Screen

[Andehh]

Im living in the Uk and managed to crack the screen on my kaiser. My insurance company will fix it/replace the phone but theres is a 50quid excess.

Iv searched the internet high & low for new LCD screens but aside from ebay iv struggled to find any. As for the ones on ebay they are all from hong kong & google has brought up a few horror stories from people who have used them.


Does anyone know where i could source a new lcd from, or any advice in general?

cheers guys

I cracked the screen on my kaiser a couple months back. I purchased an LCD off ebay (i may be able to find the seller and see if he has more). I received it within a week and fixed it myself. easy stuff. I wouldn't be too afraid.

so your insurance will charge you 50quid to replace it completely or 50quid on top of the price of the lcd?

cnn.cn (http://cnn.cn/shop/tytn-iitilt-screen-p-2032.html) has lcd's for $75.99 + shipping. I've had mixed results with them. Ordered about 3 things from them, all seperate orders, arrived on time and no complaints. But then ordered a 4th item (lcd for nokia n82) and the package arrived empty. I honestly think it got lost in customs cuz they tore the package open, but cnn.cn didnt reply to any of my emails so i just withdrew the payment with my bank.

£50 in total, inc shipping and parts. the £50 is just my insurance excess.

The phone is in very poor shape so imo id quite happily pay the £50 if they will send me a refurb phone!

poor shape how?

i sent my phone Tytn in or repa[ir on insurance with a cracked screen, they serviced it, cleaned it etc.

if you have insurance then use it! you won't be able to get a screen for less and then you'll have the hassle of fitting it.

whats the point in having insurance?

if your phone is in poor shape cosmetically and you are disappointed with that then look after your phone!!!

else report all faults in a one-er and get them fixed for one excess payment.
