My Motorola Atrix 4G has a broken screen.

History

The screeen is broken pretty badly but there's no way that I will be able to fix it myself. Is there any way that I can take it and have it fixed for cheap?

Being an Atrix user myself, I'm curious has to how you managed to break the screen, so as to avoid the situation.

David Hodson,

By smashing it with a hammer, how else?

You can get the glass here, and here is a good video guide to installing it.

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

oldturkey03,

The build quality would suck if it could just be "popped off." Wouldn't feel smooth in your hand at all.

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/cousin/nephew/etc. who you can bribe with lunch at Taco Bell (Crunchwrap Supremes are only $0.99 right now!).

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!
