Does anyone know a place that fixes screens for an iPhone4? I dropped mine last night and I can see who's calling me but I cant unlock it to answer. I'm a UCONN student on a budget and I'm looking for someone in the northeast corner of Connecticut but I'm willing to travel into southern Mass through the I-84 or I-395 corridor.

I'm not trying to go to an apple store cuz I heard they charge $199 to change the LCD screen. So anyone but them.

How much can you afford to pay for the repair? Perhaps you should just get some cheapo cellphone replacement in the meantime until you can afford to fix your fancy phone...

Did you try looking on Ebay? I found a guy who repaired the screen on my digital camera for $35.

I just searched for "iPhone4 replacement screen" on eBay and there's a seller selling them for $158... but you'd still have to install the screen yourself. So perhaps $199 to repair your phone through an Apple store is a fair price.

How handy are you with electronics repair?

I paid for the screen and I had a choice of either installing it myself, or if I sent it to him, he'd install for free, so I sent it to him in Chicago. I remember we got it back in 4-5 days.

It is amazing how many people I see walking around and using Iphones with cracked screens.

You can buy a replacement screen online and the places that sell them include the tools for doing it. My husband replaced the screen on an itouch successfully.
