Hi

I broke my phone, my Nexus 5 fell directly on the screen

I have no intention to replace the Nexus itself only screen.
I have a problem that I just can not find anywhere a true original screen of LG and LG in the country I live in is not selling white Nexus phone screens, just black ones.

So I looked on eBay and found someone who claims to be selling original screens:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Google-...s-/351115283182?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

I bought it and I got the screen this week, and unfortunately it is also not original.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with seller on EBAY who sells original screens for white Nexus with frame and everything.

Thank you! :good:

if I were you, I would send it to LG and let them put on the black one... You get 3 months warranty on the same as well! :)

There's always a good chance that the display you buy online turning out to be a fake.

You get what you pay for. Keep that in mind.

And personally, I'd rather have professionals install it than do it myself, it not work out and be out a phone and the money I paid for the cheaper screen.

Just my 2 cents. ?

They are the same screens, you just take the white ear piece from your old screen, and put it on the new one.

I Know the have the same screen But the don't have the same frame! The white one have glossy frame and the black have matte

I live in a country that doesn't have any insurance for Nexus 5. I Really want to pay as much as it takes for an ORIGINAL SCREEN not cheap one and PROFESSIONAL to repair it but i just have to do the best with what i have in option. so don't judge just help if you can and if you cant please don't comment.
thank you
