    Can the screen be replaced in any mobile phone shop?

    Best place I've found for repairing them is here: http://www.kjdcs.com/iphone.html

    Repaired my iPad 2 for me and didn't charge for an iPhone 4 that was beyond repair. :)

    I have recommended this place before - I've had two samsungs fixed there (but no iphones, I must confess!) however they are iphone specialists as the the name suggests http://www.iphonebits.co.uk/ - based in a house in glengormley so you can drop the phone off and pick it up if you prefer.

    I recently had my son's ipod screen replaced at CLR computers on the castlereagh road. Very happy with the service. They have a website if you search on google.

    I have recently used https://www.iphixni.com or find them on facebook under iPhixNI

    I left my daughters phone in to get fixed, called in a few hours later and he had it ready - £30 and this offer is currently running for an iphone 4. He done a great job and when I collected the phone he pointed out that there was a 'dead pixel' and he didn't have the parts at hand to fix this. To be honest, I didn't even notice but he knocked £5 off the bill, charged me £25 and told me if I wasn't happy to come back and he would sort it when he had the parts in, so a totally honest, genuine guy. Check out his fb page for offers. Hope this helps

    A friend said a friend of theirs purchased a screen from ebay and fitted it themselves and it works perfectly. I looked ebay and some of the listings state "without LCD display screen", how do you know if you need a lcd display screen?

    Am I correct that an LCD display screen is the touch screen, therefore since the phones screen is cracked that this part would not be needed because the phone still works?

    The LCD screen is the part you need, since that's what cracked.

    Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, don't attempt it yourself. An iPhone 4 screen replacement is not an easy thing to do, plus you'll need the specific tools to be able to do it.

    Hang on - was this a screen repair you left it in for?

    A dead pixel could only normally be fixed by replacing the screen with another one.
