Cracked iphone 4 screen
« on: 08 July 2012, 17:42 »
Cracked my screen yesterday.  Everything still works fine.  Can any recommend a conpany that fixes them?

There are pleanty around between £30-50 but the reviews are a bit hit n miss.

Cheers

All i will say is if a company Makes a C*** of it and breaks the phone you are screwed its £75 for the front and £25 for the back screen from apple and comes with a warranty   
Id rather pay the extra or if yer a techie then try it yourself as mentioned by the other guy...

I replaced the screen on my wife's iPhone 3G. It's a similar process for the 4. You can buy the screen off ebay or Amazon for about £10. It's really not that tricky. Follow one of the guides on youtube like this :http://youtu.be/iNM90pb-Xwk

Or if you're lucky and it's in warranty just take it to apple and they'll replace it.

I did the home button on mine.  Seemed really daunting, but wasnt too bad if everything was laid out on a table and took your time.

Warranty won't cover you breaking your screen bud as its classed as accidental.. But as you say good video it really Isnt hard to do yourself

I got told if you replace the screen, then take it to appple for what ever reason. Then warrenty is void :)

Cheers for the replies.  I would have a go myself, but my track record of fixing things isnt too clever!  im happy to part with £50 to have someone else do the job.  I've had a good look around and think im going to go with 'TheAppleGuys' the revies i've read seem pretty positive.

Its out of warranty now anyway so no problems there
