2008bangkok Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Has anybody every got a new screen replaced on a iPhone 4 or 4s before, if so what type of price did they charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I recently had to change my iPhone4 screen which I did at a suburban mobile phone shop and was charged 1,700 baht and it was done in an hour. Not all shops will stock screens for an older model and I am not sure what prices are at Tukcom or elsewhere. In desperation I went to the nearest big road side shop. There is an issue apparently that must be watched in that some replacement guys do not connect the wifi/internet antennae tightly enough or correctly which can lead to poor or non existent reception.

Cheers for that, you probably paid a slight premium as its a normal shop so i guess 1500 would be about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 ^^ probably - also because I wanted the repair man to jump his repair queue and do it while I waited .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepattaya1961 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I paid THB 3400 for a new screen and a new on-off button. Done in a few hours. I went to the iStore, but they took me directly to a guy nearby. Apple Bangkok might need a 2 weeks or so and an est. THB 5,000 - THB 7,000 for only the screen. Of course with full warrantee, which I've lost now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercool Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 So ..... all in all, my local suburban mobile shop did a good job at a good price within a good time .... I'm happy. Oh, and he did give a 7 day guarantee with a view that if it lasts that long it is probably going to be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailaw Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The g/f sat on her iPhone 4S about 2 weeks ago and cracked the screen. She took the phone back to the original seller at Tuk.com -- 1st floor (mobile phone floor), on the left wall side if you are facing to the rear of Tuk,com, almost directly across from/right before the elevators (3 meters from the up elevator to the phone shop). One hour and B2,000 later her phone was back to normal with a new screen. That shop sells primarily iPhones and has very good technicians. I am not sure if "real" vs. knockoff/copy parts are an issue with iPhone screens, but you should try to confirm that you are getting a real screen.

Kaoboi Bebobp Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I just remembered I paid 1500 baht at MBK a couple of years ago for an iPhone 4 screen replacement. I recently purchased a 4S with a couple of screen scratches. The seller said I could get a replacement for about 900 baht, I believe. Didn't follow through.

jakethesnake Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) There was a coupon for something like a 'Iphone 'screen doctor' on Ensogo or Groupon BKK a few days ago. It was crazy cheap < 600B for sure. Might be worth digging around to see if it's still there. ps: never mind I found it for you & I read the fine print. The title was misleading - it's 1150B for a 4s screen repair. He's in Asoke & gives you a 90 day guarantee: http://www.mygroupon.co.th/deals/shopping_en/dr-smartphone-1/718940212 Edited September 25, 2014 by jakethesnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I guess that like so much else here, it pays to shop around and compare services and prices. The difficulty we all have is knowing what is a genuine part - and worth more - and what is not - and thus cheaper - since all are probably made in China. Coming back to my own experience, I was panicking and went to the nearest shop in my area that looked like it could help and was happy to get the service at the price asked. I confess that I did not follow the "shop around and compare" process in this instance ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
