OH sat on his LG shine and cracked the screen.The display now is blacked out in the top third of the screen where the crack extends to but otherwise the phone is fine.Is there any repair I can do and what/where would I get spares? cheers.

    Depends on how technically minded you are. I've done repairs on a few phones, inc screens and am not THAT technical. You'll need a small screwdriver set, patience and a steady hand. Parts can be purchased on ebay.

    Do get a quote for a screen fitted too, sometimes it may not be too much more.
