Chosen Solution
Phone accidentally dropped on a concrete surface while running for a bus yesterday. There appears to be no damage to the actual screen (picture is fine and it’s still recognising touches as normal), but there is significant cracking to the front layer of glass. Is it possible to replace this glass on its own or does the whole screen assembly have to be replaced? The whole screen would be more expense that it’s worth, but if the glass on its own can be done fairly inexpensively (either by paying someone to do it or DIY if it’s not too hard) then that might be worth it.
@pythonmegapixel “can be done fairly inexpensively” sorry but no. The issue here is that you need some special equipment to separate the glass from the LCD, replacing it and re adhering it etc.. It takes someone that has the tools and the skills to do this. Replacing the complete assembly is pretty much the only way to get it done for the DIY’er. As in finding somebody to do a glass repair only, you’d have to do an online search for pricing etc.
