Insurance, everytime.

Re: Just bloody accidental broke my screen
 

You shouldn't do it yourself, too easy to break ...
Do you live in USA? If so, then the best would be to make it repaired from Nokia, which will be kinda expensive (+-100-150$) but the best way to get this done.
If it can't be repaired from Nokia, buy another screen from ebay or something like that and make it repaired by an electronic professionnal

i live in the UK... i can do it my self i repair laptops for a living :) but want it done quick... insurance way wud take ages, but will phone them 2moz to find out... there is a Nokia Service center bout 20miles from me so mmm, i can get a screen for £45

Re: Just bloody accidental broke my screen
 

Details that I didn't know!!!
You should repair it yourself then ... Must be easy to do for someone who can repair laptops...
I don't know how insurances work in the UK, but here in Canada I wouldn't pass a 600$ device on insurances, because the insurance itself will cost much more if I use it too much...
Sorry for my d*mn english, you can see I'm french canadian lol

no probs dude, me english and i have trouble sometimes lol, just ordered the screen... will have to use my n96 till i get it sort although n900 is still usable

Re: Just bloody accidental broke my screen
 

I'd still be rocking the N900. It's a battle scar and simply adds character. Right?

Re: Just bloody accidental broke my screen
 

Brutal!

It probably still runs better than an iPhone.

Another note, if you do the screen replacement yourself you could write a DIY guide for replacing the screens to the benefit of the N900 community. Just a thought.

Good Luck!

this is why i ALWAYS put the phone in my pocket with the screen facing my body!

That sounds rather homoerotic to me....

Re: Just bloody accidental broke my screen
 

well, i have not installed any "vibratine" erotic applications that are available on the iphone and symbian...so actually, its a dud. but keeps the screen safe!

;)

Re: Just bloody accidental broke my screen
 

If you need to replace the screen yourself its quite a doddle to do but first you must download the PDF file that gives you clearpictures and instructions on dissasembly and assembly. its available from http://www.nokiausers.net/forum/noki...vel-1-2-a.html
Hope this helps you.

Disassembling the N900 was far easier than I thought (I did it to correct a slight bend in the metal bezel). You just need two specific size/types of screw-drivers. Details, and a walk-through of doing it can be found in this great video:

Re: Just bloody accidental broke my screen

My screen gets dirty enough on its own...
