how to fix: cell phone screen that cracked

I have an android TCL phone that cracked horizontally across the screen. Phone still works fine. Anyone know where I can get the screen replaced? Are there other options? Thanks.


Same thing happened to mine.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but I left mine as is. It's been over 2 years and it still works fine, I just had to get used to seeing the crack all the time. But in my case the phone is over 5 years old and didn't cost me much, so I'm going to ride it out as far as I can.

Go to the Rockaway mall. There are kiosks there with people who fix phone screens


"Are there other options?"

A few years ago I cracked the screen on my phone. I got some wide clear packaging tape and very carefully applied it over the whole screen, just like a screen protector. I was able to use it for 6 or 8 months before the crack spread enough that I finally felt the need to replace the screen.

I'd go to a TCL shop for an estimate on 2 things:

1) Free (or cheap) upgrade/switch to a similar or better phone or/verses

2) See how much they offer to fix its screen instead (while at least compare how much it'll cost from other/outside/3rd party phone repair shops).

Here's TCL places in NJ to go to or simply give them a call to ask:

I was just at the ubreakifix store in Chester today. Didn't know about the place until today. I'd go there. It's located 2 doors down from the Verizon store.

Cracked the screen on my phone and need it replaced. Had it done once years ago by a place next to Starbucks/behind the old Arbys. Is there any place around that does that kind of thing anymore
