Nokia Lumia 920 Screen replacement

[weelzSA]

So a friend of mine dropped her Nokia Lumia 920 and shattered the front glass. The touch still works perfectly tho when using the phone (besides the glass shards ).

Where in Cape Town can I get this repaired? Got one quote already for R2350 surely it can't be that expensive?

Any advice will do.

I have the same problem, mine also still works fine. just the shattered glass. a quote from MTN was R5,300. my "friend" is quoting me R1,500.

Seems like the replacement includes the LCD, that would explain the price. I got a replacement touch screen for a Nokia 520 from China, it was touted as OEM, fitted perfectly but just didn't have the sensitivity of the original. I ended up getting another from Phonextreme in Cape Town, definitely original. It's not a difficult part to replace.

Careful, I think the price quoted on the page excludes VAT.....

Thanks for the link.

Yeah it seems you need to replace the whole thing which is the reason behind the price. I have repaired many iPhones but never a Nokia Lumia and after watching a video or screen replacement, I agree doesn't seem too hard but still need to take apart the whole phone and there seem to be a lot of little clips that look easily breakable.
