Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Dropped my iphone 4, front screen has broken .......... Has anyone replaced their own screen? I've seen videos on YT of how to and it doesn't look difficult, but then neither did learning to fly model helicopters and that's another story haha. I can get it done for £60, but can buy a screen for £8. Phone is out of warranty, and am going for a 5 once the hype dies down. Apple will replace the whole phone for £100 odd, but that seems a waste when am only going to change it soon anyway. Anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waidmann 105 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 A mate did his own screen from the u tube video no problem, a bit fiddle with the wires. The best of luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Maybe a good thing to check on gumtree for a broken phone. Sometimes they sell them for spares. Then again places like enviro phone kinda stopped that. I'll ask a few of my mates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
