Broken screen on my phone
Questions....I just dropped and cracked the glass on my Atrix. Totally bummed because I've only had it a couple of months! It broke the upper left corner and I have spider cracks on the screen. I was researching replacement screens on line but I don't believe I need a new LCD screen, just the glass over it. Is this true? How hard is it to replace the glass? Any recommendations
Thanks!!

Thanks for the info but is taking the whole phone apart the only way to change the digitizer? There's no way to pop it off the front? I don't want to have to take the risk of ruining the phone by trying to dismantle it myself.
Beth,
Nope, you will have to disassemble it as shown to get to the display. Yes its a PITA but ....good luck

The first thing that will determine how "cheap" you will be able to repair your device is availability of parts. If you're faced with a cracked front panel, it looks like you can find a new one on Ebay for $30-$35. From there, it's about trying to find disassembly instructions and tools. Our teardown will provide you with a good start, and our tools store will give you the necessary tools. After that, the only way to get it fixed for "cheap" would be to find a friend/sibling/

Mine broke as it slipped from my hands facedown right onto new tile just installed at home. So the skin didn't help and it took some joy out of my new tile!
