Where to have your iPhone’s broken LCD fixed?

Listen to article

AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE announced GPD MicroPC 2 with Intel Core 3 N350 announced Nintendo Direct to unveil Switch 2 games for second half of 2026 iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2026

I dropped my new iPhone4 straight on the pavement a couple of weeks ago and it suffered a hairline crack at the top corner of the LCD display. It wasn’t noticeable at first but soon became more prominent after I added a screen protector (yeah, too late).

Anyway, I went to iFixit last night and looked for an LCD replacement kit. The kit alone only costs $149 (not bad) and including the shipping to the Philippines, it was still all under $200.

So I decided to visit Greenhills today and check if maybe there’s a repair shop there that could get this sorted out. I kept my hopes to a minimum.

The first stop was the Gadget Doctor at the Theater Mall and after showing them the damage, quoted me Php3,500 for the replacement kit and repair.

In under 30 minutes, everything’s back like it’s new again. Also asked about my broken Macbook Air and they say they’ll have some parts shipped in soon but it will cost me around Php8k to Php9k for the whole display assembly. Not bad!

Not bad for a price man! That’s the thing about our smartphone, the display is the main part, the important part. But then it also the most vulnerable part due to it being exposed. Having a cracked screen is bad, even worse when it happens to your new phone! So once I got my new phone, I got it an insurance right away. Insurance is a pretty good deal you know, so that you are not surprised by the price of replacing your screen, it could be really crazy! So sign up with us now!

How about a very nasty crack all over an ASUS Transformer tablet? Do the guys over Greenhills offer cheap repairs for that? ASUS Center priced me 10k just for the LCD alone!!!

i just noticed the next day after partying all night that there’s a hairline scratch on my iphone 4. it covers almost 1/4 of the screen.

Decode said it would cost me 5,5k.
AJ Laptops and Gadgets told me they’ll charge me 3k for that.

hindi pa ako nakakapunta, i’m scared baka di maganda yung lcd na ipapalit.

Guys, don’t go to Netgear at Theater Mall for repairs! I went there almost two weeks ago to have my iPhone’s LCD replaced. I understand that most shops there don’t use original parts, but this particular shop tried to replace my broken LCD with a really substandard LCD. When the LCD is screwed on your phone you will notice that the images don’t look brilliant and the colors have a pale hue. Iba ang contrast at hue.

You need to look at the fonts of the homescreen and they should really be crisp as much as possible. At yung black ng screen dapat black talaga. The one that Netgear uses will make your homescreen’s black color look bright and pale.

I told them it’s not ok, so they tried to place another LCD. It was still the same crappy look. So I told them no way. This irritated them. They are nice only if you buy from them. Pero pag umatras ka, lumalabas ang sungay. Don’t trust these guys. They can’t even look you in the eye kasi nga what they’re telling you is a lie. Their LCDs are not of quality. Go somewhere else at Theater Mall.

Tip: Set the brightness of your iPhone to the maximum level to see the difference. If possible, bring another iPhone for comparison. Just because they quote you cheaply doesn’t mean it’s good.

jonathan loresca · 15 years ago

I believe these replacement kits are made of plastic unlike the original which is made of glass.
