just as a side note , it doesnt pay to have the insurance anymore . especially with lcd screens going for 15 bucks on ebay . i hate asurion , they sent me 2 faulty replacements . Im getting pissed .

true enough. I order a new digitizer from ebay awhile ago cause I bought this phone orriginially off ebay and it was physically damaged but ran like a champ.

The screenwas scratched to hell (but visible and functional) and the housing was chipped and cut

All and all it just wasnt pretty.

So I bought compleat new housing for the phone. but when it came to seperating the digitizer from the lcd...
yeah.. no bueno.

I followed all proceduers exactly according to multiple sources. But there was just so much damn glue (or rather I should say tar.. ) holding the screens togeather that my lcd ripped.

Its still functional but it has streams and black spots right now.
I just got a new lcd today so ima take it up to a repair store and have them do it this time. I found a place that told me hed only charge 15 bucks in labour if I bring in the part.

Might as well right?
