1 you have to go in through the back and remove almost every component before you get to the screen.

2 the screen and digitizer are pressed together and almost impossible to seperate making the part itself a lot lot more expensive.

Yeah I watched Youtube vid on how to replace iPhone 4 screens and they literally disconnected/removed everything before they could remove the screen, so I decided I'd better leave it to someone who knows what they're doing :/ The vid was with a non-smashed screen too, so I imagine even harder with shards of glass all over the place.

Mine's being replaced as I type this; will post again when it's fixed. Major_Kaos, the place I sent my phone to do all sorts of repairs so I guess they could fix stuff like that if your phone's out of warranty. Would be cheaper than sending it to Apple, anyway.

Yeah so this is what my phone looked like Friday arvo. Friday night I discovered the camera wasn't recognised for some reason, so I took it back next business day (today) and they replaced the camera for free and had it ready just after lunch.

did you get the old camera? ill bet they forgot to plug it back in :p

Nah they just gave me the phone back.

Edit: I'm not sure if they forgot to plug it in or it never worked after I smashed it, but I asked them to fix it regardless
