Phone LCD repair

[tloonya]

DD shuttered her iphone.
She got new one but I want to have old one repaired.
Does anyone knows how much it will cost?

I am goggling and prices are so different.
So no one here ever repaired screen?

Never shattered a screen, so can't tell you how much it costs.  However, I'd guess that it would depend on the model of the phone.

iPhone6 S Thanks

So she had what is essentially a brand new phone, shattered the screen and bought a new one?  Is your daughter rolling in $$?  My iPhone 6 was $650, if I shattered the screen, I'm pretty sure I'd be repairing it, not buying another new one.

ETA:  Did she buy the old one on a credit card?  I remember that once upon a time, AmEx had some sort of product protection such that if you broke something, they'd replace it.  I've not seen those commercials in awhile though and not sure that other companies have it.

Does she have insurance on it?

I won't comment on the daughter replacing the phone...

Screen replacement should be ~$100

I've replaced them for friends that broke theirs, but it was always a deal where they bring over some beer and a replacement screen and I put it on for them. Not sure what they paid for the replacement screen itself.

It's not that hard to do if you know anyone with some small tech screwdrivers and a little bit of time/mechanical inclination. You can probably do it yourself after watching a youtube video or two.

Chill tiger!
It happened that she does have an insurance and she has to return her shuttered one.
I was already trying to sell it but she said noops! Got to go back. I paid $99 for replacement.

And I wasn't asking for it. And you shouldn't.

And thanks for the pricing.

...and she has to return her shuttered one.

Now I'll admit that I don't own an IPhone so know little about them, but I don't understand this. Why didn't she just open the shutters?
