HTC One repair ... where do I go?

    My HTC One just took a fall and the screen is now displaying about 2/3 of an image and is flickering slightly, but it's responding to touch input as normal.

    There's no damage to the glass structure of the screen, but I am assuming it'll probably need a replacement.

    Everything I've read online seems to indicate that the HTC One is extremely difficult to repair.

    What's the hope of getting it repaired?
    Where do I go to get it done?

    Try and avoid fonemenders, not only are they the most expensive but they don't exactly have a good reputation for repairing phones properly.

    There is a place on Talbot Street can't think of the name, who are very good and I've used them a few times and reasonable enough.

    I thought fonemenders repaired a phone for free, if under warranty.

    I've been looking online and apparently a lot of independents are refusing to repair HTC Ones because they are so tightly put together that it's making it almost impossible to work on them.

    Take a look at : http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494/1 which gives you an idea of what a repair agent would have to deal with.

    I'm sorry I bought the phone now. Galaxy S4 is far more workable and the iPhone has way more people supporting repairs than HTC which seems to have become a bit obscure in recent years as it's fallen out of popularity.

    Apparently HTC carries out most of the repairs itself using special tools that it hasn't released to the general market.
