>Pay someone to replace the screen
How much do they charge?

Depends on the phone. Go call some phone repair shops.
They can also tell you to piss off if it's not worth repairing.

Nearest town is 60 miles out. Is there a way to order the parts and fix it myself? I thought this was /diy/..

It’s really simple to replace a phone screen. Just a matter of ordering online, unscrewing, unplugging and replugging with tweezers. Might as well replace the battery while you’re at it too.

what's a good online shop for phone parts? pls don't say amazon

[Anonymous No.2472626]

Ebay, aliexpress, etc. It’s a cottage industry and you’ll be fine ordering 3rd party parts. If the part isn’t specific to your phone you can research forums and such to see what parts would work best.

*it’s NOT a cottage industry, it would be extremely impressive if you made a touchscreen yourself. Point is there’s lots of manufacturing and thus protocols/tolerances are assumed.

Do you have the skill to repair it? Phone repairs are fine and easy to screw up.
If you haven't done fine electronics work with fragile glue-bonded shells, you're going to break something in disassembly, you'll probably break one of the many ribbon cables and connectors measured in millimeters, and you'll most likely put it together wrong and it won't work properly.
Just because somebody can do something doesn't mean you can.
You aren't even capable of doing an online search for parts, what do you think that says about your ability to make use of them?

Seems like both damage to the glass and the LCD underneath. You've got to have the screen assembly replaced.

Unless you've already got the tools or its a recent flagship model, it is rarely economical for individuals to do a single DIY screen replacement. But at 60 miles to town, factoring in the cost of time and fuel, it might be worth a go in your case.

First, go to Ebay or Aliexpress and search for a screen assembly for your model.
Second, go to ifixit and find a guide for your specific model.
If you can find both and the screen and any tools you need is combined less than going to a repairshop or sending your phone there, you can go ahead and order screen and tools then follow the guide when you get it.
The guide will tell you what tools you need, but for a screen replacement you'll usually need 4-6 opening picks (guitar picks, old credit cards, or iFixit's opening picks), a heat source to loosen the adhesive holding the phone together (hair dryer, heat gun, or iFixit's iOpener heat pad), small screwdriver(s), a set of tweezers, and some tesa screen adhesive or double sided tape to replace what you removed.

If you don't have everything, iFixit sells their iOpener toolkit, which for $20 has everything you need for a screen replacement; provided you have a microwave or a pot of boiling water, and your phone uses philips #00 or flathead 2.5mm screws.

You'll have to learn basic electronics repair if you want to fix it.

I recommend backing up anything you can, and then do the following or buy another low-end phone. If that phone is as low-end as I think you're gonna spend at least the same either way in this situation.

1. Get a hot-air gun or temp-controlled heating plate.
2. Get replacement screen that matches your phone's model number
3. Get some cheap precision screwdriver set, walmart sometimes sells kits and they often include a little suction cup.
4. Get A suction cup if number 3 didn't cover you.
5. Heat up screen (if you use the plate aim for roughly 150 to 175 degrees fahrenheit.)
6. Carefully lift up display with the suction cup, use gloves if you're worried about burning yourself. It may take a bit and don't be afraid to use more heat if needed.
7. Disconnect ribbon cable
8. Connect ribbon cable of new screen
9. close phone back up, new screen should have some adhesive so peel that

And bam you've either successfully replaced a phone screen or lost about as much as it would have cost to buy a new $50 phone.

it doesn't look too bad, and you can tell its just a pressure point on the left side, rather than dead pixels they are just pressured/stuck.

To loosen it stand your phone on its side with the left side facing up and give it around 15 secs in the microwave on high power. The heat will rise and loosen the pressure from the screen on that side which should resolve it
