I was taking apart my iphone 3g to clean the screen because i had dust under it and i managed to break the lcd panel. it still responds to touch just the image is messed up. can anyone tell me where to find a replacement. Thanks ahead of time.

Check ebay but you will still need to check repair prices.

**Micara57** · 02-12-2010, 06:32 PM

The repair isnt that bad. iFixIt has a great guide.

**Cer0** · 02-12-2010, 08:07 PM

There are several people on the forum too that do repairs.

i always pick my parts up from ubreakifix, because they're really helpful and reasonably priced and only 20 mins away from me. But they have a ebay store if that helps

I have one m ore question about this. when i order a new screen for this does the screen come with the white piece of plastic or do i have to seperate the screen from the backer?

**Melech518** · 02-15-2010, 03:33 PM

What whit piece of plastic are you speaking of?

**soccerstudd** · 02-15-2010, 03:38 PM

when u take the screen out of the phone then remove the digitizer from the lcd screen does that whole piece come when u order it?

**Melech518** · 02-15-2010, 03:45 PM

Yes, it is attached to the LCD.

**soccerstudd** · 02-15-2010, 03:48 PM

alright i just wondered cause i was thinking how in the hell do i seperate those. also how hard is it to replace the back housing. anything i need to be wary or aware of?

**Melech518** · 02-15-2010, 04:15 PM

It takes experience to replace the housing. There are a few threads on the thread concerning housing swaps. I do them all the time so if you need help or just don't want to do it yourself let me know.

**soccerstudd** · 02-15-2010, 04:33 PM

one last question how do i seperate the lcd from the metal piece?

lol i didnt know you had posted i had refreshed and it didnt show up i was antsy sorry

**Effenpig!** · 02-15-2010, 06:22 PM

I believe there are three screws on one side, two of which are under tape. Two screws on the other side. There is one screw in the top corner. Then I like to slide my fingernail between the rails on on side then the other to pop the screen loose. Then just lift the bottom of the LCD up a little and slide it down and out. I'm no pro but I've done it a few times.
