Phone screen repair

Recommended Posts

My wife recently smashed the screen on her Galaxy S3, and was quoted silly money to fix it (around ?100).


In the end it turned out insurance she had through her bank account covered it. So if you pay a fee for your account, check what sort of cover you have, as it may save you quite a bit of cash.

I can fix it for you

Cost depends of the number of glasses you managed to crack so...

Iphone 5 has 3 layers of glass

1st is the protecting glass

2nd is the touch screen digitizer

and the 3rd is the LCD display

If only the first two layers are broken you looking at the cost of ?70

Cos I would need to order for the front film

which will work as the protecting rubber for the front screen protecting glass

Then I will have to get the front protecting glass

And touch screen digitizer

And that is the cheap option

... but if you see any damage on the LCD display

I.e crack, scratch, or the display is blury flashy etc then you better buy another one as the whole set inc. ?30 labour will be ?180


If you want you can reply or send me your number and I will call you

And we will clarify where we stand..


BTW you have done a good job by cracking the hardest nut of all

Cheers

Ok let's say it different

As a customer everyone of us has statutory right

To get any new phone replaced by the network provider

If it gets damaged within 3 months

These days we as customers have been stripped out of that rightbeing forced to payfor something that has been always a standard warranty

So in simple words just return the the phone as

That is one of your basic statutory customer rights


(if this is a contract phone and BTW if is on 3 network they cover your phone thruout the whole 247 months of contract)

My sis recently went to a repair shop... quoted a ridiculous amount of money for the work. She ended up buying the bits and bobs needed, found instructions how to replace the screen online and sorted it all herself - she's not the most techy minded person nor particularly patient yet managed it herself...

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
