Cracked screens happen to everyone, knowing how much it will cost to repair it will give you a general idea and will help you to make the best decision on whether to send it to the store where you bought the device for a replacement screen, or to take it to a repair shop to get it repaired. Here is an estimate report of repair costs on for broken LG G4 screen.
1. How much is it to replace only the glass on LG’s G4?
The glass lens is the outermost layer on the LG G4’s screen, replacing just the glass is a solution for situations where the glass is broken but the LCD display is still functioning. It costs the cheapest (about $10) to get a glass replacement, however, it is the most difficult repair to do, and it is a very risky repair as you run a high risk of causing more damage to the device.
Since there’s no available stock for LG G4 glass lens yet in the market, you can purchase a LCD and digitizer replacement instead.
2. How much to replace only the digitizer on the LG G4?
The digitizer, aka touchscreen, is the layer that senses your touches, and allows you to interact with your phone. If your touchscreen work abnormally after being dropped, the digitizer has to be changed. As the digitizer is fused to the LCD, it’s very difficult to separate it from the LCD. That’s to say, replacing the whole LCD assembly (possibly $65) is a better choice even though your G4’s display works fine.
