[Q] Smashed Glass

---

Hello,

I dropped my i9000 Yesterday, and unfortunately the glass over the navigation buttons smashed (it is still fully functional and the screen is not broken)

is it possible just to replace the outer glass, and if so how much would it cost?

cheers

they sell these sort of parts on ebay im not sure if they will have what your looking for,

there is a guy on here called 'iammodo' he does repairs on the SGS.. he may be able to give you some advice... just put his name in the search bar.

hope u get it fixed

At work checking XDA lol.

you can replace the just the Glass with skill and luck but would void the warranty as the ebay part would be a fake.
As the offical part is most of the phone you only save the mainboard really.

If your in blackpool or by blackpool PM me and im sure we can sort something out.

Hey,

I did the same thing, got a replacement off ebay... the install isnt too bad... you just have to be SUPER SLOW when you take off the original screen from the navigation buttons (the buttons are like a sheet of wire which has been glued to the screen, removing is slow)

To be honest, i have replaced my screen a total of 3 times... The first time the screen replacement had a pink hue to it... I emailed the seller and he shipped a replacement which was fine... then i dropped the phone again and that stopped working, so i got a third which has been fine for the past 3-4 months.... well i guess it has been four times cause i replaced the second screen with the pink screen so i could have a working phone... then replaced the pink screen with the final good screen again.

but yes. the replacement screens on ebay are pretty cheap... a word of warning though, they are NOT gorilla glass, so no protection against scratches. and i am not sure if they are SAMOLED screens or not. they might be just lcd?

I don't mind the more broken phones I fix the more money to buy my new phones.

Cheap fakes on ebay arnt gorilla.
If you want a replacement its the full works. Most places will charge £120 for this. Where are you located?

Instead of trying to do it yourself maybe its better to have it done here.
