[Q] LG G3 -- spare parts? I dropped it ALREADY

[musicconnect]

It pains me to even talk about this but... This morning I dropped my six day old G3 on to an escalator step (you know the kind, sharp and metal:crying. The phone itself is working and screen is unscathed (phew!), however the plastic bezel/bumper (?) that goes around the screen on the side of the phone has cracked on the bottom left corner and scuffed on the top left.

I know it's early days still, but does anyone know of where there might be spare parts available? Or should I just cry myself to sleep and stay at home forever...

(To rub it in, I had a shiny new official "Slim Hard Case" waiting in my mailbox this evening. FML)

Any chance you had a warranty?

Sorry to hear your Bad news. I scratched my first g3 on the back around 2 inch's long and I could of cryed lol. Sorry I carnt help

I have warranty but that doesn't cover my own accidental damage. I do have home insurance that covers things like this but I'd rather not go down that route just yet as it would involve reformatting the phone, sending it back, buying a new one, reinstalling everything and so on...

Lol, I've done the same, dropped it on concrete a couple of times and the edges are dinged up. Short pockets + Huge phone are not good. If you cant find phone parts on chinese websites *ali*, you might have to wait a couple months for them to be released.

it would also be not to your advantage to claim home owners insurance on your phone.. it could hurt down the road.

Sorry for your phone trauma :crying:

I only have the G3 because of a similar incident with my S4 which managed to destroy the digitizer.

Did you buy it with a credit card? Most cards give free insurance for up to 90 days! Just call and ask.

Won't the case cover that part? It might hurt resale value but if you can't see it, no biggie.

You think that is sad...

I dropped my LG g3 and it hit the concrete. I wish it had only scratched the back or dinged the bezel.

the screen only recognizes touch on about the bottom two thirds of it.

I do have a SquareTrade warranty so we will see how their claims process works.

They helped me out when I dropped my f400s off my balcony while taking pictures. It fell a few stories and well was not repairable so I got another g3. The process was fast about a week from when it happened to get paid but they should be able to fix yours.

I think this phone may be too fragile for me. I'm not used to such a large phone and I don't really want to get a beefy case to protect it. So I will see what SquareTrade does. I'll let you guys know.

My phone was out of its case, and it fell 3 stories (I live on a hill with a small creek behind it and it tumbled town onto the rocks) so once it fell I knew it was going to be a bad day. Thankfully I now have a new one, but life happens, I'm just glad I had ADH on my warrantee through them.
