IPhone Screen Replacement

Hi.
I dropped my iPhone on the ground a few months ago and the screen cracked. It's been working fine since then. My brother in the mean time dropped his iPhone in the pool and it has ceased to function at all. My question is: do you think his screen is still in working condition and is it possible to swap the glass/digitizer from his and install it in mine? I'm aware this is a difficult process but I would be up for it. Thanks.

Well, if the screen works, it's certainly possible. Your phone could be fixed by Apple for $199. His will probably cost a lot more for apple to replace.
However, you risk completely breaking your phone. Then you'll have problems. Again replacement costs will be much higher than $199.
Anyway, in actuality, the top half of the iPhone (screen, digitizer, and ear piece) is relatively easy to replace, as long as you do all three at once. One the 3G and 3GS, it's the 2 screws at the bottom and a few cables. iFixit.com has nice guides as well as parts.

I have a cracked iPhone 6 screen. I just bought the phone, but not AppleCare. If I get my iphone screen replaced through apple how much do I pay and would it void my one year warranty with Apple?

To replace your phone's screen costs $109US and I don't see why having Apple replace the screen would void your warranty.

IPhone Screen Replacement Problems

So I recently got my screen replaced by JetCity in Chicago for $140... two days later I dropped my phone and the screen shattered again. This time I was determined to change the screen myself. I ordered a new screen, took apart the phone without any kinks, replaced the screen, made sure everything was connected, and put the phone back together. I turned it on and all I saw was a blue vertical bar across the center of the screen, which stayed there for awhile, until the phone finished booting up and then the phone screen went into standby or whatever. I can connect the phone to the computer and it's recognized by iTunes, so everything else in the phone appears to be working except the output to the screen. Thinking it was a faulty replacement screen, I connected my old cracked screen back up, and the same blue bars appeared. I'm not sure what to do at this point. If anyone has any clue as to what the problem is, PLEASE tell me. I've had an iPhone since the original came out and I've been using a $4.99 att goPhone as a replacement and I'm slowly dying while attempting to use it day to day... I'll attach photos of what the phone now looks like when I press the home button to wake it up. Any ideas are MUCH appreciated.

I'll try the firmware restore now, I've tried reseting the connector onto the logic board a few times, and have already tried cleaning the connectors with isopropyll. I figured debris was probably the original cause but since cleaning it didn't work, I just figured the logic board somewhere during the replacement got messed up somehow. I'll probably just do the exchange if the firmware restore doesn't work. Any other soulutions still appreciated.. but I'm pretty sure theres not much else I can do at this point short of getting a replacement.

Got my cracked iphone screen replaced and now my phone has a mind of it's own.

It will select anything at everything at random, I'll text somebody and it will type random letters and send. Or The swipe up/down menus will come up/down and stay. I've liked, unliked, unfriended, unfollowed and sent gibberish to several people and it's very irritating. I can still use my phone to text/call people, but I have to fight with my phone in order to do so and have to deal with sending gibberish along with every message I send and even to people I never intended on texting. The only way I can get it to stop what it's doing and let me use it is to shut my screen off and turn it back on but that method still isn't very effective.
Also I sometimes see several vertical lines going down the length of my screen. They don't move or anything but I'm sure it has something to do with why my phone is acting out. And well my question here is what should I do?

If Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider replaced your screen, bring it back to get it fixed again.
If a 3rd party company did the repair, they will have to fix that, Apple will not service phones that have been opened by users or other repair shops.

How much is the iphone screen replacement?

i broken my screen, i know that in the apple store in barcelona if you pay 150 euros and give the broken one they give you a new one. Anyone know how does it work in london? If they do this or if they can replace the screen, and how much is it?

It's comparable in London.

Cracked iPhone screen...questions re replacement

Ok Ive had my Verizon iPhone since February...yesterday my worst iPhone fear came true...I dropped my iPhone about 4 ft onto cement in 30 degree weather... Over half the screen was really cracked...I have a 32gb so I think vzw charges a $199 deductible...so I found this shop that replaces cracked iPhone screens...he told me the labor itself would only be about $30-40 but then he looked the part price up in his book up to his iPhone 4 CDMA parts guide & mumbles something like "digitizer" & blah blah then tells me the part would cost $150...I asked him what if I brought him the part would he still did it & just charge for labor...he was very nice and said he would do that.
Then I went online & googled iPhone 4 replacement assemblys & saw them for as low as $25 the I saw some for $55ish but nowhere near $150...is there a legit reason why he would charge this price...is the what an apple OEM screen replacement assembly costs, & I was looking at all non-OEM products? What are the downsides, if any, to replacing the iPhone screen with a non-OEM..are some of the features absent, like the oleophobic coating?
So I guess my question is what does an "iPhone screen replacement" assembly include? Besides the screen itself & a "digitizer" (not sure what that is) and how do I know which ones are trash out there & which ones are good? Would you advise any non-OEM product at all?
Please give me any info you have on screen replacement packages, & possibly where I can purchase one that won't be garbage. Oh & also if it says it is meant for CDMA model...should I assume it is going to be the glossy version?
Thanks!

So if I'm clear here you have thus far paid $109.90 for insurance and after paying another $199, for a total of $308.90 Verizon will replace your iPhone? Or, as has already been noted you can pay $149 at an Apple Store and get a replacement with a 90 day warranty.
I have no idea why in the **** you are paying for that insurance. I would talk to a Verizon rep about it before doing anything.
when you put it that way, yeah verizon is totally screwing everyone who has iphone insurance with them
this is right from verizon wireless website:

When I had a regular ol' phone & even up to my blackberry it was 6.99/mo for the asurion coverage and a $50 deductable if damaged or stolen, which was totally worth it, but this is not that-clearly. gouge gouge gouge....prices ever increasing....& it's only up to the consumer to keep abreast of the price hikes....

Iphone won't power on after screen replacement

So I've dropped my Iphone 4S once and screen showed blue vertical lines. I replaced the screen for about $120. After 6 months or so I dropped it again and the screen cracked. I decided to replace the screen on my own so I got a new one and replaced it, but the phone doesn't power on after the screen replacement. I plugged it on charger, did a hard reset but still nothing. I plugged it on pc and it was recognized by the itunes! As it was plugged on pc, I did a reboot again and it left itunes as if it was powered on and suddenly powered off. Still plugged in I tried to power it on again, it was recognized again by the itunes but the screen still wasn't working. Another thing is that it burns a lot without even being on charger or on pc, and I need to take the battery off.

Sorry. There's not much we can suggest. Apple won't touch that phone now.
Try looking for advice someplace like ifixit.com.

Last Friday, the broken glass of my iphon g3 replaced. Since then, remains the screen of my iphon regular black. The battery is not empty. By the restart I get my iphon back to life. It always comes back sooner. The last 24 hours 3x. Is there a solution?

Since Apple doesn't repair iPhones (they replace them) you will have to take it back to whoever "fixed" it. Since it's been opened by an unauthorized 3rd party, it is no longer eligible for replacement by Apple.

What's the process of replacing a cracked iPhone screen?

I dropped my iPhone 4S earlier and was wondering what to do to get the cracked screen replaced and how much I'd have to pay. Thanks

I'm in Australia so have no interest how much it is in America. I've heard from a relative that she took hers into her local apple store and they replaced it for her for free.
Why so rude?
You never mentioned that you were from Australia.
Did you want us to guess?
They will not replace for free.
You can look up the price yourself in Australia.

Iphone 6 cracked screen replacement in Greece

Recently my (3 months purchased) iphone 6 fell of my hand and the screen cracked. I got in contact with the official distributor in Greece (INFOQUEST, www.infoquest.gr) and they informed me that a screen replacement is not possible through their Service and additionally i have to pay 370,00 euro to get my Iphone 6 (64GB) replaced by a refurbished Iphone 6. And my question goes:
Why in other countries ex. USA the same replacement costs 109 USD and here in Greece it costs 370 euro? A small difference in pricing could of course be acceptable by the customer but this is way too much!!!
Please advise me what to do!!!

So complain to Apple here. Apple will read your feedback but will not respond:
www.apple.com/feedback
You are now in a user to user tech support forum. Apple does not read or participate in this forum. Complaining here is pointless as no one here works for Apple and there is nothing more we can do save what I have already told you.

HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???

When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album. However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos. If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos. Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

What will be the cost for iphone 5 replacement which is in warrenty but accidentally damaged.not screen it's just back glass of camera,so what will be cost to fix it or replace the phone in indian rupees, USD will work.

If you are in India, contact your local service center for a price quote. I don't know if Indian service centers can replace just the back glass or if they will need to replace the entire iPhone. To locate a service center, see:

Make sure you select "iPhone" for the product time. Only certain service centers can handle iPhones.

Dropped my iphone 5. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

Dropped my iphone 5. This is the replacement phone Apple gave me a month ago - the camera didn't work properly so they gave me this one. They told me it has a 90 day guarantee. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

That is not a 90 day guaranrtee. It is a 90 warranty which only covers workmenship and materials not damage. So no. You are going to have to pay to get it replaced.

Unfortunately because you have violated the warranty - it will cost £216.44. See https://www.apple.com/uk/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/
Unfortunately, since an unauthorized party opened it, Apple won't have anything to do with it at all. It's not eligible for an out of warranty replacement.
