Broken LCD...or Broken Touch Panel? Its A Case of Both!

Does your smart phone have a touch panel? Most of us do, and so does more than half of the people you know too.

Touchy touchy...

Touch panel styled cell phones are definitely getting more popular.

In fact, majority of the smart phone crowds probably won't even consider any other type of cell phone. It is like a must-have, necessity for smartphones to be equipped with touch panels nowadays. The touch panel is featured in all of the cell phones presented in the Mobile Web Congress 2011, even if they have a physical keyboard.

Though it sounds like the cutting edge of technology, the touch panel we come to know and interact with on our mobile phones, is actually a very fragile piece of plastic.

As much as you might have been protective of your treasured smart phone, some unwanted incident still might occur down the road. You might drop your cell phone on just a whim, your younger counsin might "borrow" your cell phone and break it when they sit on it by "accident", or your little ones might finally be able to reach the table and flip it off right from the top.

Groan as much as you might, but still that does not change the fact that you now have a broken cell phone. Unlike before you might be able to get away with just changing the display, but with the touch panels, its totally a different story.

My iPhone 4 broke.... /_\ (sad face).

Why, you might think, all they had to do was change out a part right?

While that is true, the touch panel cell phones are of a new kind of bunch. The LCDs and touch panels are now manufactured into what they now called "combo parts." To simplify the process of manufacturing, the smart phone makers now put these two parts together to speed up production and repair processes. Do a search on eBay, just on "iPhone repair parts" and you will see. Many of the spare parts for iPhone will be already pre-assembled like "LCD with digitizers assembly", or "motherboard with baseband board attached."

So for your damaged smart phone, that means only one route to repair, replacing both the touch panel and the LCD screen. If you are lucky, the manufacturer might agree to repair your cell phone....for a fee upwards to $275. If not, the manufacturer will flat out reject any case they deemed out of warranty.

In the end, you will have a broken cell phone you don't want to spend a fortune to repair but can't throw away. What is the best course of action in this case? Come to Brokensellphone.com and we'll take that cracked screen mobile phone off of your hands and give you cash for it!
