Thread: iPhone screen repairers?

^ my phone after coming off the roof of my car at 70km/h. Does anyone repair or know someone who repairs iPhone screens? I know there are a bunch around Darwin, but they aren't well advertised.

you really did a number on that one

Yep, best smashing I've seen :/ Still works, just have to use it through a zip lock bag coz of the shards :S Contemplating $100-200 in screen repairs, or buying an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy SII?), or waiting for the iPhone 5.

Update: My sister just gave me the number of a company in the city who charge $200 for all iPhone 4 screen replacements and promise same day service and a clean of the phone to remove loose shards. I know DIY kits are like $50 on eBay, but knowing how difficult Apple make it to mess with their hardware, I'd rather leave it to people who do this stuff for a living

They call themselves 'MC Phone repairs' and the number is 89413058, if anyone is interested.

good find, let us know how you go.

Actually, I found removing the screen from my iphone 3 to be very easy, just undo those two screws at the bottom, and lift using the finger nails.

send back to apple $268 replacement

lol steve just gotta beware of those 3 lil cables underneath and connectors on board ... becomes expensive when you mess them up

Use a suction cup on the screen much better. If it is shattered cover in sticky tape then use a suction cup. And an iPhone 4 is a hell of a lot harder than an iPhone 3

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.
