[Q] I "destroy"ed my Defy, hardware-style

Anyone can help me with this?
I received this Defy from a friend so that means no warranty here :/

I actually wanted to replace the faulty speakerphone of my Defy.

I proceeded to order a speakerphone piece for my Defy, then when it came it had free tools for use as well.

I then went ahead to take everything out, and replaced the speakerphone.

I then realised that the I lost the part near the LED (proximity sensor?) when I pressed the button on the speakerphone part to release it.

I thought nothing would go wrong, so I went ahead to place everything back, including the touchscreen.

But then I tried screwing the screws back again and realised they could no longer be screwed back into place. I took a closer look and saw that the screws themselves had been "circle"-fied from a hexagon shape, probably friction caused it.

Now I am stuck with a Defy that shorts the screen upon accepting a call (but the speakerphone works) and a thin strip in the touchscreen that doesn't work.

Any help?

Okay then , will see if there are any crazy repair shops around . Thanks guys

Ace-ing all tests.

Yes.....but it depends on which part of Singapore you are at.....
I went to a nearby phone shop , ask for details and they're wanting to charge me SGD$90 for just the touchscreen

Out of searching the entire Singapore with my small budget I gave up and sent it for official service :/
But to tell the truth the service centre was quite....umm....dead , 2 workers and only 1 customer when I was there

This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
