Guest jonnybruce Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Well my Streak just dropped on direct face plant ... just ordered replacement screen for 112$ from ebay... stupid me!! Man, not much gorilla in that glass!! I dropped mine onto a stone floor the other day, I was praying before I turned it over and checked. Not I mark on it ... looks like I was very lucky!
Guest zrospeed Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Well my Streak just dropped on direct face plant ... just ordered replacement screen for 112$ from ebay... stupid me!! Gorilla glass cracked? Not the lcd? Looks like it. Anyways, how about a making a video of how to replace the screen. You know, for the unlucky ones in the future. Goodluck, especially with the adhesive that holds the lcd screen and gozilla glass together (ifixit).
Guest LorD CLockaN Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 I ordered the whole package with LCD and gorilla glass allready together.. Well atleast I hope so ;) Now to wait 12-14 days for it to arrive
Guest kwenteen Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 I ordered the whole package with LCD and gorilla glass allready together.. Well atleast I hope so ;) Now to wait 12-14 days for it to arrive That's quite unusual what happened to your device ! usually, it's the lcd that cracks, and the gorilla touchscreen remains intact ! I think your lcd screen could interest many "normal" people, I mean, that broke their lcd but not their gorilla glass ! I'm wondering if the glue that hold the glass and lcd together could be removed, maybe with some heat ? Try to sell your LCD, you might sweetened the total cost of repair ! good luck anyway ! boujou bien, K.

Guest cowballz Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 this happen to me 2 weeks ago ,fell on the floor , called dell and they sent me a replacement in 3 days rush shipped, did u try to call dell first before dishing out cash on ebay? If not give it a try wont hurt. they send out a new streak then u put the old streak in the box it was in , very nice

The tough glue is the one that holds the glass to the dell streak body. You'd probably start melting your streak and damaging the lcd before applying enough to be of any use. Best bet is to disassembly and use a tiny flat head to patiently unstick the two.
Guest cowballz Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 my lcd was intack aswell when it was damaged , it was just the gorilla that was damaged, it is quite a thin slice of the glass compared to other phones maybe thats why its so easy to damage?

Guest Vantage1 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Damn, i had the exact same deal happened, landed face down on concrete and shattered completely, LCD still worked though... Took it to the O2 store, they sent it for repairs and guessed it would be about £100-130, given thats what an iPhone is, but turns out Dell just sent a replacement with no charge, arrived about 3-4 days later... If you're with O2 give that a shot, if not have fun with your DIY :D
