Cracked screen?

Phone Screen Repair: Glass or Display?

A phone screen has two layers that matter: the outer glass with the touch sensor, and the display panel underneath (OLED on most iPhones and Galaxy S phones, LCD on many budget models). On modern phones they are fused, so a cracked screen repair replaces the whole screen assembly. For iPad and Android tablet screens, see our tablet repair page.

Cracked glass, picture fine

The display still works, but cracks spread, can cut your fingers and let moisture in. Fixing it now costs less than after the display fails.

Lines, green or black spots

The display panel under the glass is damaged. The screen needs replacing, even if the glass looks intact.

Touch not responding

Dead spots or a phone that taps by itself point to a damaged touch layer (digitizer). Common after a drop on Android phones and iPhones alike.

Black screen, phone still rings

Usually the display or its connector. Have it checked before you pay for a new screen; a loose connector is a cheaper fix.

Flickering or dim after a drop

Mostly display damage, sometimes a connector. Not a phone? We also fix cracked iPad screens and laptop screens.

Screen parts explained

Smartphone Screen Replacement Options: What to Ask Before You Pay

Not every replacement screen is the same. Price differences between repair shops usually come down to the part, so whenever you get a quote, ask which type of screen it includes. At Cell Depot you get the price before any work starts.

OLED replacement screens

Match the original’s deep blacks, brightness and battery use. They cost more, and they are the closest to the factory screen.

LCD (incell) screens

For phones that shipped with OLED, these cost less but are usually less bright, a little thicker and can use more battery.

iPhone 11 and newer

After a screen replacement, iOS may show a message that it can’t verify a genuine Apple display. The phone works normally; True Tone may turn off unless transferred. More on our iPhone screen replacement page.

Samsung Galaxy S and Note

Many models need the screen replaced together with its frame, which affects the price and repair time. See Samsung Galaxy screen repair.

Battery draining?

Phone Battery Replacement: When It Makes Sense

Phone batteries wear out with every charge cycle. If your phone dies by mid-afternoon, shuts off at 20% or gets hot while charging, a new battery usually fixes it for far less than a new phone. Here is how to check before you come in.

Check iPhone battery health

Go to Settings → Battery → Battery Health (Battery Health & Charging on some models). If Maximum Capacity is around 80% or lower, or iOS shows a Service message, a new battery will make a clear difference. Apple explains battery health here, or see our iPhone battery replacement.

Check Samsung and Android

On Samsung Galaxy phones, open the Samsung Members app → Support → Phone diagnostics → Battery status. Other Android phones vary; we can test it in the store. More on Samsung battery replacement.

Swollen battery? Stop charging

A screen lifting away from the frame or a bulging back cover usually means a swollen battery. Stop charging the phone, don’t press on it, and bring it in for a battery replacement.

FAQs

Phone Screen and Smartphone Repair FAQs

We repair cracked screens, batteries, charging ports, water damage, cameras, speakers, microphones, buttons and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth faults on iPhone, Samsung Galaxy (S, Note and A-series), Google Pixel, Motorola and other Android phones. For locked phones, see phone unlocking. To sell or trade in an old phone, see used phones and trade-ins.

It depends on the phone model and the part. A screen for a recent iPhone or Galaxy S costs more than one for a budget phone, and batteries and charging ports usually cost less than screens. Call 816-888-3635 with your model, or walk in, and we’ll give you a price before any work starts.

Most screen, battery and charging-port repairs are finished the same day, often while you wait when the part is in stock. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you how long before we start.

Screen, battery and charging-port repairs don’t touch your phone’s storage, so photos, apps and messages stay on the phone. We still recommend backing up to iCloud or Google first.

If the phone still gets software updates and works well apart from the fault, repairing it almost always costs far less than replacing it. If it needs a screen and a battery and is several years old, we’ll tell you the total so you can compare.

Yes. Turn the phone off, don’t charge it, and bring it in as soon as you can. Don’t put it in rice; Apple advises against it because small grains can get into the ports.

Yes. Every repair comes with a warranty. The length depends on the repair and the part used, and we tell you before you pay.

On modern smartphones the glass, touch layer and OLED or LCD display are fused into one assembly, so a cracked screen repair replaces the whole screen. That is also why a phone with cracked glass but a working picture costs the same to fix as one with a black display.

Face ID lives in the TrueDepth camera at the top of the iPhone, not in the display, so it keeps working when the screen is replaced carefully. Opening any phone breaks the factory water seal, though, so the original IP water rating can’t be guaranteed after a repair. Keep the phone away from water either way.
