I stepped on my HTC desire last night and now the screen is black blocks and lines :cry:

Just wondered if anyone could recommend a good company/site that they've used for repairs/screen repairs?

Thanks CT

Not insured no, looking around the cost of repair should be £40-£90, have never lost/broken any mobiles so have avoided 15 years of insurance.

Have you also checked that it's not covered by your household insurance ? Some are.

It should be but the excess will probably be almost as much as a Desire costs.

Left my details with repairworld over the weekend before ordering the digitilizer.
Have just spoken to them and even though the outer screen is not damaged they reckon I won't have any luck in just replacing the digitilizer due to the lining up etc, have also watched some videos and literally ever piece needs disembling including the on/off switch, volume etc

This is gonna go so very badly wrong :(
