DIY iPhone screen repair

If you’re anything like my sister you’ve already broken your iPhone’s screen. Thankfully, iFixit has a detailed how-to that shows you hope to remove and replace the iPhone’s front glass without much fuss and muss. All you need is a suction cup and a small screwdriver.

A new glass screen costs about $70 while the LCD costs $99. All of it is easy enough to fix with a little gumption.

  • You guys should buy me the glass screen for my white iphone 3g! I’ll do a video review of me fixing it! =P

    Also, the game.

  • You can also buy the same kit off of ebay with the double sided tape and tool kit for 32.00. I just did mine and it came out great however I recommend getting a razor blade when taking off the glass.

  • If you are not as tech savy, like me, then go to http://www.iphone3gscreenrepair.com. They offer this same repair service with parts included for only $75. They also guarantee the product for 1 year. It was well worth it for me.

  • I recently had a similar situation where I dropped my phone and picked it up only to find that the screen had been cracked! Really frustrating! I was told by apple this repair would be $199. After searching around for a little bit, I found http://www.iphone3gscreenrepair.com on google. They had the same repair available for only $69.99! The better part is that I sent my phone in on monday and had it back by wednesday! I really recommend them.

  • I agree with Charles. If you don’t want to take the chance of messing up your phone, iPhone 3G Screen Repair.com is the way to go. I have heard so many good things about them that I have added a link to their site on my website. Professional work for a great price. I highly recommend them.
