WHY ME?? Broken screen

ashesp923 · 10/06/2010, 07:56 PM

So, I ordered a Palm Pre Plus from AT&T when I upgraded my account. I got it in the mail this morning, set it up, activated, etc. This evening, I'm getting out of my car and. BAM. I dropped it. And, of course, the screen cracked. Now the touchscreen doesn't work at all. And just my luck, of COURSE I didn't purchase the insurance. So AT&T says, sorry kid, nothing you can do about it. Anybody know where I can buy a replacement screen?????

You need a whole replacement front, best chance is finding a bad esn pre on ebay for cheap and then "operating" on it to transplant the good screen onto it.

Wow, that really sux. Screens are expensive, I'd check ebay for a Palm Pre Plus. You'll most likely pay the same price for a Pre Plus as you would for just the screen, and you won't have to deal with the hassle of disassembling your Pre Plus.

There is a Thread on the forum on purchasing phone parts. I don't have the link to post right now. Just try a quick search.
