Samsung Monte help please.

Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help, I dropped my Samsung Monte S5620 resulting in the screen being broken however it is as though there are two layers to the screen and it appears that it is the underneath layer is cracked, if you know what I mean ? When I turn my phone on I can no longer see anything except what looks like a broken screen under the first layer, there are no cracks to feel on the top layer. I have looked on eBay for a replacement even though I am not sure exactly what it is I am looking for and have come across this

Might this be what I need ? Thanks. (btw the crack is not visible until the phone is turned on )

I am no expert, but 'digitizer' is a touch-sensitive layer that (I think) is flexible and cannot crack. I think it is the TFT screen that is broken in your phone.

Ok, thanks, do you know if it is possible to buy a replacement ?

I have no idea how difficult is to replace it, but surely it is possible to buy:

I think LCD is a more general term than TFT
