Cracked mobile phone screen
« on: 23 November 2013, 19:32:10 »
The better half has dropped her 6 month old Galaxy S4 and cracked the digitiser screen. Now I dont fancy buying a new one, so are there any reputable screen replacement companies around that you recommend? Personal experience would help. Not keen on DIY, due to a lack of time and not wanting to break it further.

Thought most Networks do there own repairs now for a fixed price, might be worth asking,  ;)

Does your home insurance not cover this?

Yeah, CPW are £170 and warranted. But I have an intense dislike of CPW, Talktalk and anything that guy(whatshisname) starts up. Will have a look at home insurance, although it may only cover laptops and my cycles.

It's not £500 to repair ;)

Excess + a claim come renew, often will cost you more. Far cheaper to fix by local indie :)
