RATS! Broken Screen on Epic!

[thebobc]

So...I got my very responsible daughter an Epic for her b-day back in Sept, and a few weeks back, she very uncharacteristically dropped it. From waist height. Not hi at all (she is 12). Sadly, it was enough to crack the screen. No insurance...SADNESS! So off to ebay I went, and got a new screen...$75. Fast forward to Saturday, screen arrives. I look on the web for a how to video, no luck. Fascinate, yes....Evo, yes...no Epic. Bravely, I jumped into the task with both hands. On the final dismantel step, (the one that is different due to keyboard) I tore the ribbon cable. MORE SADNESS. Re assembled, and the earpiece no longer functioned. So today, I called my sprint repair center, and they said to bring it on in...broken screen, whatever...with no insurance it would be a $35 dollar charge, and new phone! Sigh...at first I thought, gee wish I would have called them first. But they said it was a policy change as of last week. So if you break your screen, CALL A REPAIR CENTER...even if you have no insurance.
