Maxman Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Anyone ever replace theirs? I am eyeing up the kits now. Have a 1st gen and a 4th gen both with shattered glass. Time to do some ordering on ebay. If anyone has experience doing this I would love to hear about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Don't touch it so hard next time My buddy did and he had to get a new phone but his sh*t was ****ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Don't touch it so hard next time My buddy did and he had to get a new phone but his sh*t was fucked haha... my 8 year old son is the culprit for both. He broke my 1st gen a long time ago and broke his 4th gen today. Dropped it getting out of the car. Mine I probably won't get fixed. I really only use it to play Sirius through my receiver for my outdoor speakers. Since that works I don't really care what the screen looks like. His, not so much.

The cost to repair it seems to be around $100-$150...if it is, just buy a new one. I have a first gen still going strong...it's soo slow with some stuff though. Connecting to Wifi and switching apps...it's jailbroken but I didn't add anything performance-draining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with a guy that used to direct order the kits from China for like $14 but I can't find any site like that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Jets & Ham Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I stopped using devices like this. My hands are so strong from years of boxing workouts that I just end up shattering the LCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
