How to Repair the Cracked Nokia Lumia 720 Screen

Last week, one of our readers told us that his Nokia Lumia 720 slipped from his pocket.  He was very unhappy on the situation that the LCD display has no problem and the device worked fine except there was an obvious crack on touch screen digitizer. Can the broken Lumia 720 screen be replaced? How much it will cost? He asked. Yes, people who cracked the Nokia smartphone screen can try to contact the local Nokia Care to know the exact cost of the spares and any additional repair charges, as this will not be covered under Warranty. Of course, you can also DIY repair your Cracked Lumia 720 Screen to save some of your money.

    hai guys ,

    this tutorial has not covered the removal of the broken digitiser and touch screen . it is not very easy to remove .

    i suggest ,that you give it to the service guys , otherwise you will be ending up with the replacement of the panel which costs around Rs 8000 .

    with thanks,

    Hi,

    Please give the details, where can i buy digitizer in Hyderabad. Unfortunately two times broken my lumia 720 phone and already invested Rs. 7500 earlier in Nokia care but currently I am looking bit cheaper one.

    Also request to every one don’t buy lumia phones it is big problem about glass broken.

  29. BY D

    Thanks for this tutorial, i have gained some confidence although,

    I have purchased the screen only(Digitizer) for Rs. 1600 ….yes one thousand six hundred
    and the tools for Rs.160 ..one hundred and sixty from the following ebay and it has come from United Kingdom (imported) and the part matches the original one on the phone.

    On Ebay Search this “New Replacement OEM Touch Screen Digitizer For Nokia Lumia 720”

    The screen dizitizer and tools have arrived within 10 days..only thing is the service person is asking Rs1000.00 for replacing …but now i have this tutorial…but i am in little bit of dilemma as the steps are quiet a few and i need to memorize the parts before i start. I guess some expert advice would help.

    Total cost on a Mobile service centre is Rs (1600 + 160 + 1000)= Rs. 2760
    Total cost by just relying on this video is Rs (1600 + 160 + self memory and hard work)= Rs. 1760
    (NON Indian readers please convert the amount into their respective currency through google currency converter , Dollar is roughly Rs 63….ie Rs. 1600 will become $26 (estimate only))

    Please somebody update if they have succesfully done it.

    Thanks

      Brother this needs a lot of experience.

      instead of doing this, go to the parts store and buy T2 and T4 screw driver and the Lcd (LCD and touchpad are fixed), which cost you around 5100 INR.
      Screw Driver- 100 INR
      LCD and touchpad- 5000 INR.

      I also faced the same problem. but now everything is Okay.
