S4 Mini screen replacement

henke

Hi,

Cracked the screen on my Galaxy S4 mini this evening and the screen is black with little colour in the corners. Raged :mad:.

Anyway, just wondering could anyone give a ballpark figure on how much a screen replacement would be and which crowd would be most reputable to go to?

I'll decide then whether its worth fixing. Sickened as I was gonna wait to get the new Nexus later this year so don't want to be forced into buying a new phone now .

Cheers.

You'd be looking at over 100e considering the price of the s4 mini replacement screen. Best option would be to buy the screen from aliexpress (50-60 euro) and attempt to replace it yourself, surely plenty of video guides on youtube.

Cheers, might just give that a go. Wondering can anyone recommend a reputable site to buy a screen from or just be best to find a good seller on ebay?

Cheers, bit wary of aliexpress but I'll have a look through it.

Sellers on ebay will be selling the exact same product, just with an extra 20-30 added on to cover ebay fees and their profit.

Probably true. It's more that there coming from China but as you say, probably identical product just take longer to get here.
