[POLL] How many of you have broken your N900 LCD display?
 
Hi, I severely cracked my N900 screen yesterday and was amazed how easily it broke and how the digitizer still works perfectly, so just out of curiosity, how many of you have actually broken your N900 LCD display?

By messing around lol, I think I fell on it or something but when I got it out of my pocket to take a photo I was horrified to see a crack in the corner and multi-coloured lines running down the screen, and after only 2 days of receiving it back from the insurance company after my last one got stolen a few months back :mad: oh well at least it looks easy enough to replace the screen :)

Just to clarify. You are not wanting people who have had digitizers or screens just quit for no known reason. You are looking for people who have known physical damage.

No, just any person who has broken their N900 screen/digitizer be it via self inflicted damage, manufacturing flaws etc. Hope this clarifies :)

Not exactly broken, but the coating is starting to scratch off my digitizer in places...

Not sure if this is what you want but have a look:-

B&Q, local hardware store, Asda, Homebase etc.. all only had the size 0 philips screwdrivers. I eventually looked in at the big Tesco's here and amazingly they had the same pack (from the same manufacturer) as Asda, but, with an added size 00 philips screwdriver that I was after. I think I'll just go straight to Tesco from now on.. they seem to have everything

Yeah, I got my screen from ebay, and I'm pretty impressed, I ordered it yesterday afternoon and it arrived this morning :eek:

Dropped my N900 onto tiles with the slider open...not good! Haha digitizer was fine but the LCD just blacked out! Got a replacement and its working fine now, but DAMN the screen aint cheap!

Re: [POLL] How many of you have broken your N900 LCD display?
 
I broke my screen when it was in my pocket. I think the magnetic button on the cheap case I brought was pushed into the screen!

I got one off ebay for £35 and although fiddly, wasn't too hard to replace, except for the tiny ribbon connectors!

I'm using N900 for nearly a year and both LCD and digitizer is in perfect state.

Well, I guess I didn't drop my precious even once :P

I came of my push-bike on the ice before Christmas, landing on the leg in which pcoket my phone resides. LCD totally knackered, but the touchscreen still worked enabling me to backup my data by using the TV-out to see what I was doing. Sent it back to Nokia who, it seems, have repaired or replaced it; will find out which when I get back to the address its been returned to on New Year's Day.

Never broke it, but got scratches... They are really annoying.

Got a replacement device after a botched repair by nokia and was basically leaving the n900 at home for occasional development.

Last day at my old job yesterday so thought I would bring the n900 in and take some pictures. Got it home to find the lcd was broken :(

No external signs of damage at all. It's like a pixie snuck in to the casing and took a pick to the lcd...

Re: [POLL] How many of you have broken your N900 LCD display?
 
i dropped my and got a big scratch on the screen, but the lcd seems ok, so i ordered a replacement glass from here for only 10 bucks including delivery. it hasn't actually arrived yet, but just ordered it.
