Samsung Galaxy replace screen?
on: November 07, 2017, 11:04:10 AM
How cheap and easy is it to replace the screen on a Samsung Galaxy? I dropped something on it and cracked the screen.  :facepalm:
The whole phone could do with replacing but I can't afford it ATM.

And is it a "Digitizer" I want?  :think:

I have no freaking idea. Hopefully someone will come along and help you out exactly the same way I didn't.

Thanks. Upon further investigation I don't think replacing the screen will fix my problem.
The crack on the screen isn't really the issue; it's the discolouration of what is displayed. I think this is because the LCD is damaged, which costs a lot more to replace than the glass screen.
The touchscreen ability still works so I just have to guess what is under there (the lower half of the keyboard is unreadable). I will use it like this until I get a new phone.

That sucks man.  I wish I had an old phone kicking around I could send you to use in the meantime.

Thanks. Its OK. This one will live on for a little longer yet.
I'm hoping watch phones get better as I may get one of those as my next one. Also considering Windows.
