Smashed screen ( glass broken)

dodderangler

Well probably hear it all time but was basically runnin from finishing work and iPhone4 dropped and screen smashed but still useable just bit of glass gone an cracks all over it but can see the screen actually typin this off it
How much should I expect to pay for new one
Was told bout €55 up in the square tallaght in Chinese owners shop beside meteor
Is that bout right an how long would I be waitin as I'd be in work and need my phone to know what time to collect my daughter from play school
It's a pay as you go aswell so no insurance
Thanks in advance

55 is cheap. Anywhere from 70 upto 120+ seems to be the going rate and usually you can get it done within an hour

Hi There,

I do iPhone repairs, but only for friends. I just want to warn you, I have seen a couple of iPhones that have been "repaired" by Chinese shops, they take little to no care in doing it, on more than one occasion I have opened up the phone and there were screws missing, loose and bits broken off. Plus they use the cheapest knock off screens, there is no oleophobic coating which mean you get smudge marks all over the phone and there is a lot of colour bleed (you notice it when the facebook spash screen is showing).

A girl has hers fixed there and she came to me about 2 weeks later and my god the phone was an absolute mess, the glue connecting the screen to the glass had come off there was a lose screw rattling around inside and there were scuff mark all over the parts, the also has ripped out all the connector covers but didn't put them back in.

I'd recommend paying the higher(as long as its better, so to speak) a year or so ago, I dropped my ipod and found someone to repair it for 30 euro, when I got it back the screen was fixed bit shaky, and the sound wasn't working anymore.

You forgot to say "I'm not racist, but..."

Thanks for replying
Are they dodgy to go to
The girl said I'd have it back in hour an half what's best way to check it to ensure its back properly also my speaker isn't exactly loud compared to my sisters iPhone an was gonna ask them to check it
Thanks again

well the first thing I would do is make a call, hold you finger over the light sensor, if the screen doesn't go black they need to do it again.

Because you are suggesting any Chinese phone repair shop is useless based on 2 experiences
