Hi,
I have a k850i, and totally love it. I think I might of dropped it a thousand times but the last time was bad. The LCD screen cracked internally.
SO I bought a new screen off of ebay and took it to a guy I always go to repair cell fone stuff but he has no idea how to install it...the jerk. So I am left doing it on my own.
My question is: Should Igo ahead and attempt to replace the screen my self? I found some easy instuctions and it looked easy enough, but I am afraid I will mess it up for good.
Here is where I found the tutorial. Please if anyone can give me their input I would totally appercaite it.

my friend tried replacing his screen he also bought a new screen,
and he messed up his old AND new screen, even though he was good with hardware and stuff.
i strongly recommend you to bring it to a repair shop or like that.. |

I'd say, if you have some thecnical experience about this, try it.
I've changed screens before, not K850's ones though, and it's not very hard if you follow a manual or guide ...
Cheers and good luck with your phone

Thanks guys on all the input, but I was so lucky to have found a new cell phone repair shop open a few light away from my home. The guys there are so cool and it looks like they know what they are doing but he did say that the tutorial I posted is not as easy as it looks. the phone has all these little buttons on the side for the volume and what-not & even a bit nerve racking for the experienced to replace, but totally do able cause my phone is doing good.
But still I would love to learn how to fix minor cell phone repairs. |

Actually, it IS as easy as the guide says. Some of the stuff doesn't pop apart immediately, and you have to apply some pressure, but the guide is pretty straightforward. I had to replace my keypad, because since the buttons are rubber, one of them popped off since I kept putting it in my backpack.
