Dropped Chuwi hi 10 and glass broke,touch screen doesnt work- solution ?

[SB]

I dropped my chuwi hi 10 and the screen doesnt work now . Glass is broken and touch doesnt fucntion . The os works . I could connect external keyboard and operate.

what should i do now ?

Send it to seller for replacement  or

could other screen type fit to chuwi hi 10 (10.1 inch) or

does it all worth . I bought on the 168 $ sale. will it cost more than that to repair/replace?

Please suggest..

why would the seller replace it? no way in hell…

you can try to look online if there is the glass+digitizer as a spare part (highly doubt) or just try to sell it for spare parts/repair and buy a new one

well, apparently you’re in luck as there is a replacement and is reasonabily priced too…

I meant the seller could replace with some cost . Thanks a lot Laura for the touch panel information. I would buy that if the local shop cant fix it.

The manufacturers of these Chinese tablets seem to be very good with spares. I know of a case where Cube sent out a replacement screen directly to an end user (that’s why I took a chance on a Chinese tablet to start with and I’m glad I did).

You’ll need to heat up the edges of the old screen (while protecting the display) and gently pry away the old screen shards (which looks tricky) but it’s definitely doable and it’s not like you have to worry about breaking the existing screen 🙂 Still, do that first and if you clean the tablet successfully get the replacement screen (cover the tablet in the meantime, ideally with a static dissipative bag, to avoid dust getting in and take ESD precautions (wrist strap, mat)).
