Cell Phone Parts
« on: June 19, 2012, 07:38:01 pm »
Anyone have a site they recommend for buying cell phone parts? My son cracked my LCD the other day and so far the cheapest I've found to replace myself is on ebay for $99 which I think is the best I am going to get. :wave:

My husband broke the LCD on his iPhone last week and found the replacement part on eBay for 29.99 - buy it now price with free shipping. I don't know what kind of phone you have, but $99 seems kind of steep! Be sure you're searching through all the listings on eBay and not just buying the first one you see. Maybe you'll find a better deal.

BTW, be really careful not to lose the screws when you change it out. They are so so tiny. My husband dropped a couple while he was working on it, and they took us forever to find. They literally looked like little pieces of dust. It was a lot of work and took him a long time to finish, but so worth it for a totally fixed phone for less than 30 bucks.

Thanks! I have the samsung stratosphere. I called a local shop and they said the screen through them is $120 w/$40 in labor - YIKES! Going to keep my eyes out though. Thankfully an old friend GAVE me a blackberry she had sitting in a drawer, I was willing to pay anyone for their spare phone so it was real nice of her :wave:

if you have to buy cell phone parts, ebay would the way to go. It helps to scout out the same products and make a price comparison before actually buying one.
