Hi guys,

I managed to bust the screen on my phone the other day but the rest of it is fine.

does anyone have an broken old nokia 6288 lying around that i can grab the screen out of.

or does anyone just have one that works even?

cheers guys,
Nic

Photo so everyone knows which one I am talking about

cheers again guys,
Nic

you can get the screens of ebay for like $80
there a s**t phone tho, mine broke just out of warranty and i gave up... turns on but it doesn't display anything on the screen

thanks for the heads up.

i rang the phone place and they suggested about $100 for a nokia pre paid thats absolutely basic.

just been on ebay and checked it out, can get a new body for it for around $15 and a screen for $75 as you said.

they dont seem like the best quality phones, definately not as indestructible as the old 3310 that i had for about 5 years!! but i still reckon its worth fixing up, i only have it till december when the plan runs out!

Try Amber, she is our preferred dealer for mobile phones---lol.

brothers just killed his screen. emailed nokia for some pricings will post back once i hear from them. theres a good chance it will cost more then the phone.

him and i both have the 6288 hes had it for a little over a year and ive had mine for about 7 months . problem free

cheers guys, ended up just getting a new screen off egay for now.

ended up at around $85 but i wanted it from an Aussie seller! (one that doesnt need paypal anyway)

let us know the quality and how u went about fitting it.

thanx

fitting is easy as

i pulled mine apart earlier today to see if i could do it or not. i needed some really specialised tools to do it though... i used... um... a pocket knife!!

To pry the face offyou need to start at the top of the slide and get the knife (or screwdriver or what ever you want really) under the face. there is two layers of "face" so make sure you get both. (I took mine off one at a time cause it was shagged anyway, getting a new one of them too)

the screen is held in with a small aluminium bracket. it has four clips on the outside that you can see easily, but there is four little ones under the black plastic. easiest way to get them out i found was to slide the knife between the screen and the slide itself (will make sense when you pull it apart)

once you get the little aluminium bracket out, the screen will fall out. its connected to the rest of the phone from under the button pad. be gentle with it and pry the buttons up, they will unplug on their own.

then you simply unplug the screen connector. done

and yes, i will definitely let you know how the quality was when it arrives

i got two of those that are busted one doesent power on and the slide bars broke through me a offer on the two

ahh bastard!! if i hadnt just ordered new parts i would have grabbed them

maybe GLi's brother might grab them

Sorry to bump an old topic.

GLi, i meant to jump on here the other day. the new screen arrived the other week. took all of 2 minutes to fit and the quality is just as good as the original, or so it seems anyway.

just thought i would give you the heads up on that one anyway
