SGII - Cracked Screen - Nooooo!!!

Live4Ever

Hi Guys,

Have my white SGII exactly a week. It slipped from my pocket while driving picked it up off the floor of the car and it was cracked!!!

The LCD screen is fine - there is a crack in the front glass about an inch long from the top right corner of the home button that runs up to the side of the phone. Devastated!!!!

Can I get the glass part repaired? I was gonna buy this and get someone with a bit of 'know how' to fix it.

All suggestions welcome!!

Thanks Man but that doesn't really show enough detail (for me anyways). That's a whole LCD replace, as I said it' just the glass that's cracked the LCD screen is fine. When I press down on the crack it doesn't affect the screen in anyway....

Chinese guy in Bray (near the dart station), fixed my HTC desire a year ago. Very good and very reasonable. He's got a shop down the narrow alley beside the railway. His number is 01-204-1672

You can't* replace the digitiser on the SGS2, you need to replace the whole screen. You can buy the whole front section of the phone for ~£125 delivered and its easy to replace. You just stitch over one board into the new section and refit the back cover with a couple of screws.

New "screen" top, board in the middle, old screen on the bottom



*its bonded to the screen so very easy to mess it up. I doubt anywhere will do it for you and it would probably invalidate your warranty

Thanks Lads,

The crack is fairly 'invisble'. I showed it to loads of people and they kept asking where it was!!

I see there is a guy on Adverts.ie who will replace it for €120. Think I'l do that, won't run the risk of doing it myself!!

On another note, it's pretty annoying that you have to replace the whole screen even though only the outer glass is cracked!!
