Title: Broken Nexus 7
Post by: Alex4599 on January 13, 2013, 11:53:38 AM
Hi got my nexus at christmas and after a week i dropped it about a metre and a half and the bottom of the screen cracked but not badly but the problem is now its not touch sensitive. I have rung around everywhere but no one will fix it for under the price to buy a new one so if you have any ideas please tell me thanks.

have u purchased a warranty when you bought it?
i've bought a 41$ warranty in walmart, now i can trow mine under a car and they'll substitute it!

anyway if you don't have a warranty like mine, u can look for used 16gb versions and take their screen, or look on ebay.
that's all i can say.
good luck

How about buying a screen on Ebay and fixing it yourself:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LCD-Display-Screen-for-ASUS-Google-Nexus-7-Tablet-Replacement-/300826916792?pt=Other_Tablet_eReader_Accessories&hash=item460aae77b8 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LCD-Display-Screen-for-ASUS-Google-Nexus-7-Tablet-Replacement-/300826916792?pt=Other_Tablet_eReader_Accessories&hash=item460aae77b8)
