How much to replace 2nd gen - Nexus 7 screen ?

[BKKdreaming]

I have a 2nd generation Nexus 7 with a cracked screen, it turns on but the touch part only works sometimes

Did they sell Nexus 7s in Thailand ? who would have a replacement screen and how much to put it on ?

Thanks for your help

There are repair shops in both Fortune Tower and Pantip (and probably other IT Malls as well) that sell tablet replacement screens but whether they have the specific Nexus screen would be really hit or miss. They can be ordered online but be sure you determine whether or not the price includes the digitizer as well as the screen. If your cracked display doesn't have blotches and bleeding colors then your digitizer is probably ok but it's easy to damage when removing the cracked pieces.

In my own experience, devices with replacement screens did not work well; lots of dead spots.

Isn't the Nexus-7 made by ASUS? Maybe an Asus screen would be compatible.

Good luck on that one. Perhaps an alternative would be to buy new phone?

Give the old one to the next ex?

I've found from experience that its a lot easier to buy a new one, wish you luck repairing.

Except the fact that Nexus 7 is a tablet and not a phone ....

Not to mention that OP posted that it has a cracked screen. I would hate to be on receiving end of your hand me downs.

Yes it is made by ASUS , and I also have an ASUS Fonepad but the screen is not the same size ,

its hard to tell on eBay which screen + digitizer to get but they seem to be $30-$40 , that plus the labor and if it will work gets it on the borderline of finding a good used one.

if the shop supplies the screen+digitizer and they screw up then they eat it , if I supply it they just hand me back my pile of broken parts if they break it.....

I paid 4000 baht for the installation of a new screen on a Nexus 5 mobile. Nice guy at a little shop 4th or 5th floor at MBK Bangkok. The shop is called 3G Mobile Phone, Line id is sk3g. Lots of other mobile shops there as well. Pantip Plaza would be a good place to look also.

Hang around, you may get lucky Sorry - getting off topic here. Sayonara

Yes, Asus manufactured the Nexus 7 (2013).

Yes, the Nexus 7 was sold here, through Asus channels.

Anything can be repaired here, but I wouldn't expect to be able to find an OEM display/digitizer, except maybe at an official Asus repair facility. And they may have to order it from off-shore and the cost may be excessively high? A plug-compatible screen/digitizer might be able to wedged in, it might not have the same characteristics.

I have Nexus 7 and greatly enjoy it but if it needed a screen replacement I would get a new tablet in a heartbeat. Just ordered the Lenovo 2 tab and friend is bringing back from USA. Saw it in person, twiddled and fondled it and greatly loved it. Cost direct from Lenovo USA was $78, could not even buy part of a replacement screen at that price.

If you looking to replace the whole tablet Big C has the ASUS fonepad 7 on sale for 3300 baht in some of the phone counters (On-nut and Rama 4 both have them at that price last week) I bought one myself - ASUS is probably thinking the new 4 gb Zenphone 2 will hurt the fonepad 7 sales and so is getting rid of them .

[BKKdreaming]

what model is the ASUS Fonepad ?

and does it have 1 or 2 Sim slots ?

thanks

ASUS fonepad 7 - It is the dual sim and the model number is K012 or at least the one i bought is.

Doesn't sound like much of a deal to me.
