    I got a pre-owned iPhone 4 a while back had no warranty, and wouldn't you believe it, the screen got mangled by my clumsiness.

    How much would it cost to repair? Like, it's bashed right through, un-use-able. Can't touch the screen without cuttin' meself so it's beyond useless at the moment.

    So what's the cheapest/best method to do to get it fixed if possible? I don't mind paying anything though, it was pretty pricey even for this pre-used one so any amount of money, dear or cheap, is worth it i believe.

    Last I heard it was about 180 to get the screen replaced. That price could be a lot cheaper now though

    i got it for free like that's why i have no bothers actually paying for any possible repair it be fair class if i could get a link somewhere or even better any directions to a place in Waterford that specialize in that sort of thing.

    I do them for 100 with genuine Parts. You can get them cheaper than 100 on many places but they use chinese copies. Cheers

    I need to get mine done too :( New Front Screen, Back Plate, And My WI-FI seems to be knackerd to, doesnt work unless its right beside the router, very annoying.

    I know apple charge a flat fee of like 200 odd euros, but anyone know if they would do all that for that price or would they charge more???

    I think if it's over €211 it's BER (beyond economic repair) and they won't fix it.....

    Hi Guys,
    I have a cracked Iphone4 screen that I need to replace.
    I have rang around and I was surprised at how expensive the quotes I was getting were.
    Techmender/fonemender are charging a whopping €150, fmmobiles are charging €100, expresstech are charging €129(10 posting), iphone repair Ireland are €110 and then I have my cousins friend offering to do it for €40....Needless to say I don’t know which one I trust you!
    I am aware the glass digitizer & LCD has to be fully replaced but still.....
    Any of you guys know anywhere else? The crack isn’t even that bad so I can’t justify paying any more than €50/€60 to get it fixed!
    Thanks in advance!

    As you said. The screen and the digitizer are factory glued. Think that you can get the part for 30 euro. But what you pay is what you get, and if you don't have the skills you will end up messing the whole phone. As for the prices, 100 euro is a perfect price ONLY if the parts are genuine.
