Default [Q] Skyrocket Parts for repairs

I'm trying to find somewhere decent that carrys parts for the skyrocket that isn't stupid expensive, i know these digitizer lcd combos aren't all 180+$

my lcd is fine, so what im wondering if anyone has torn one of these bad boys apart, or if they only make the combos.

Any suggestions for websites that have digitizers for the skyrocket would make my day!

Dropped my phone last night, cracked digitizer...derp

I have also been looking everywhere for just a glass/digitizer as I also cracked my glass from a drop after hours of looking around it seems they are still about $150 at the cheapest...

If you can't find a cheap digitizer, you could maybe part it out on eBay and then just buy a whole phone used.
SGH-A437 -> Samsung Impression -> Samsung Mythic -> Inspire 4G -> Galaxy S2 -> Galaxy S2 Skyrocket -> Galaxy S3

Hey y'all. I dropped my white SR a while back and repaired the screen myself. I used http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com...cket-sgh-i727/

They have the best prices on parts that I could find. You can do it all yourself too. Just google instructions for replacing the parts.

To repair the LCD/digitizer, you have to replace the entire front, not just the glass. It's an all in one unit, that's why it's so expensive. I followed these instructions: http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...ce-I727-screen
Current toy:
Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
Running: Who knows, I have ORD.

Past toys:
HTC Tilt2 - Simplicity
HTC Pure - Energy
HTC Tilt - Stock, themed

Future toys:
Galaxy S3?
Galaxy Note 2?
Only time will tell.

Yup. The digitizer and its circuitry are attached to the screen (glass) with some wicked adhesive. Its an all-in-one piece that is also glued into the carriage. It comes out from the front. Just replaced mine last night lol.
