Iphone 3g screen repair

pull2808 · 21 Jun 2009 at 16:49

Unfortunatley dropped my 3g when getting into the car and have a hairline crack on the edge of my iphone. I'm presuming that this isnt going to be covered by warrenty so wondering if anyone has had one done and knows the rough cost?

Cheers.

The screens cost around £25-£30 and so do the digitizers which go on top - if the screen itself isn't cracked you'll only need to be replacing the digitizer.

I've only cracked the top plastic/glass bit, the screen is fine and tracks my finger over the cracks.

Does anyone know a place you get this fixed? i looked at some youtube vids and it seems quite annoying, time consuming to get the glass/plastic off and replace

Any decent phone repair shop in your area will be able to do this no problem.

Would probably cost around £35-40 including the part.

Let us know how you get on Pull ..

.. I have accidently scored the face of my iPhone and would love to know how to fix it as it breaks my heart every time I look at it

Walked into O2 today, £123.75 for the repair.

Think il be waiting a while to get it done. Does anyone know if apple will be cheaper going direct?

It's got to be worth a try if you've got a store nearby.

That's the thing, nearest one is around 50+ miles away.

could phone them and ask ? if you get someone nice on the phone they might sort it out for free. for some reason they replaced my mates water damaged 3g for free under warranty despite him having dropped it in a pint :/
