    Harder to find than I expected but my wife's phone dropped from her handbag and the touch screen is non responsive to touch anymore.

    It's a Galaxy J5, 2017 model I think, and my Google skills only find them on Amazon. Is there somewhere that would have a decent selection, where do the phone repair stores get theirs from?

    eBay would normally have a better range than Amazon.

    I buy second hand screens from a local phone repair shop.

    AliExpress or eBay.

    I'm put off by the eBay ones as they just seem too cheap, less than €15 I'm assuming are poor quality.

    What's the deal with Ali Express these days, will I get one this side of Christmas?

    I had thought of popping into the phone repair stores and seeing what they have.

    Expensive but quality parts from this supplier:-

    If you can, for easy replacement, look for an LCD with Frame.

    Then you don't need to get the old one of the frame or need adhesive layer/glue for the new one.

    As the screen is Super AMOLED, how likely is it that what I find on eBay is just some crappy basic LCD?
