Cracked Screen

[mandi]

I recently dropped my phone and the entire screen cracked. I was told by verizon they did not do repairs around here and i would have to buy a new phone. I found out you could go on ebay and just purchase a new screen so i did. I just received the screen and there are no instructions with it. I am having trouble figuring out how to get to the screws under the slider part of the phone or how to take the phone apart to put new screen on or if there is a easier way to do this. any help would be appreciated.. thanks

You could start by telling us what type of phone do you have.

I have changed a few screens, they are all different and usually VERY fiddly! Normally there are a few star drive screws plus a lot of clipped together parts. Take a look on youtube and search for your phone type and screen. hopefully there will be a "how to". You might need some tools such as star drivers and plastic pry bars, also available on ebay.

Good luck, Pete

you need to give as much info about your phone and screen you got...
then some guide/mod will move this to the right subforum.

Like it has been said, you need to tell us more information. Just know that screen replacement isn't for the faint of heart. If you are not experienced in small electronics at all you may have an uphill battle and could end up making your phone worse.
