its not so much the money, if i take it to a private party they will fix it for me right in front of me take it to a place like that they may say it will be done in 3 days which i would prefer to avoid because its my only phone period no home phone just my cell, i wonder how much anyway i have the digitizer seller said was OEM replacement which means same one that motoroola would use just need it installed :p

If you look on their main page it says they have an 8 hour turn around for mail and 15 minute turn around for local repairs (including screen replacement).

Scroll down to where it says "Fastest Turn-Around Time"

Too bad you're so far away...

I'm in the San Diego area and I could have done it in under 30 minutes.

The Atrix is very easy to open and fix. The digitizer is not even glued to the LCD panel!

Good luck!

i had to deal with something like this before with my G2, or Desire Z.
Its best to just buy the parts and then have a third party do the "service" part.
Then again, there are some pretty intricate teardown guides I am sure.
It takes guts though...and a dust free room lol.

See if you can negotiate with a local repair store like that one recommended in the thread and see if you can pay about 60-70 for the digitizer installation.

Then figure out how you can get a digitizer off ebay or something OEM under 40.

Its possible, I think.
