iPhone screen replacement
« on: 11 September 2012, 21:01 »
so.. erm.. I might have trodden on mine

the scratches are superficial and don't impact on usage but I know they're there and want to replace it

has anyone got any links to traders THEY HAVE USED to purchase a replacement screen from and been happy with the results (fitting it themselves) please?

I swear apple will replace the front screen for £25? and you keep warranty?

Someone might have to confirm that though. :smiley:

depends what model iphone you have. last time i found out it was £80 to have it replaced from apple shop. if you fit it yourself DO NOT BEND THE FLEXI CABLE they will break if you breath on them lol

Very fiddly to do. I repaired a screen then the speaked didn't work so flogged it to Mazuma.

What model is it? I would probably just go and swap it for a refurb at apple for £130ish as they won't touch your old one with a new screen as they can tell its been swapped out.
