Help Lost IMEI/Null after LCD replacement, Samsung Note 3.

[Paul_Preedy]

I've recently cracked the LCD in my Samsung Note 3, so I took it to a local phone repair shop, and he replaced the LCD for me. I could see it working fine. When he tested to see if my phone could make and recieve calls, an error came up, saying 'NO IMEI/NULL' Or something similar. I'm not sure if this was caused by the breaking of the phones itself, or maybe the guy repairing it, broke it when he was changing the screen, or it's just a rip off.

He says he'll contact me and give me a quote on how much it will cost to fix, but I want to know how it could have happened in the first place and if I need to pay loads of money to repair it, or if I can do it myself.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I hope that quote is £0.0o! The issue wasn't there until he messed around with the handset, so it's down to him to fix.

I want to know [...] if I can do it myself.

Apparently it can be fixed by using various command codes and diagnostic modes on the device. I'd give the repair shop a chance to do the decent thing before trying, though.
