Hiyar,

Just broke the screen on my HTC WS. Dropped about 3ft onto a wood floor, cracked from about 1/3 of the way up on the left, all the way across to the top right. Screen is also completely unresponsive.

Basically wondering if a simple screen replacement will do (and if it is something that I can do myself) or if a full professional repair is better (bearing in mind the cost difference).

Josh.

Because it's a touch screen phone, and have touch panel, I think the best is the full professional repair.

You will need this

and this

or this

as it depends have you broke the lcd? or the digitizer glass?

local phone shop estimated £35 for a fix. Cheaper than expected.

That's probably the average price for a new screen for a smarthphone. Maybe the newest iPhones are more expensive because they are assembled like a bitch Tongue

The link Tom posted says £40 for a new digitizer alone Tongue

I was expecting a quote of at least £50 for a full repair.
