Tripped and Broke the screen

[Chris G]

Hi,

That’s a broken IPS/IGZO panel . I’m afraid it’s not good news. To fix it’s around 100 in total. Buying the spares from banggood or aliexpress.com I know as I broke an Air III. In the end it was going to cost more than a new Air III (my screen was cracked too).

X98 Plus is more expensive, but you’re looking at least 40-50% cost of a new one to fix. It’s not an easy fix if you haven’t done this before.

Thanks for the reply, even if it is bad news. I looked on aliexpress and found new IPS screen for $80 (seems if I post link I get 403 when hitting submit). Is there anything else I need?

Do you happen to know anyone else who has done this? The price is about 40% of new price so seems worth doing, I like the tablet.

In this case would have a tempered glass screen protector possibly saved is screen from damage, if he had applied one from new?

Just to be clear the screen is not cracked. So it is not the digitizer? It is the IPS underneath right as Chris said right? Which means at least I don’t have to buy two parts, I think.
