If you have recently dropped your phone and damaged the screen and are unsure of whether you need Glass Replacement or LCD Replacement not to worry. The Screen on all phones is essentially the same with a few exceptions here and there. On iPhones and Androids, the screen is made up of multiple layers. The three most important are Glass, Digitizer, and LCD. The Digitizer and LCD are essentially fused together so its really one layer, but we will explain why we count them as separate layers. Many repair shops quote two prices, one for Glass Replacement and the other for Glass and LCD Replacement.

If you recently damaged the screen on your phone, but the phone still appears fully functional. Meaning that the Touch Function is working and the Display shows a clear image with no discoloration or lines, besides the cracks around the screen. It’s more than likely that all you need is a Glass Replacement. For pricing to replace the screen on your phone please visit our Phone Repair Page.

The Digitizer is responsible for touch function and LCD is responsible for displaying an image. Becuase the LCD and Digitizer are fused together, damaging the LCD will cause the touch function no to work. There have been instances where touch function will still work even with a broken LCD. LCD damage will usually show colored spots around the screen and or lines. You can get a broken LCD by simply dropping the phone or even sitting on it. If your screen looks like the above images you will need Glass and LCD Replacement.

Symptoms Of Broken LCD:

• Colored Spots Around The Screen
• Lines Running Through The Screen
• Touch Not Working
• Touch Is Acting Up Touching On Its Own
• Image Jumping Around
