Can i fix phone's broken screen? (Or atleast hide it?)

[GirvanaWantsBinnieBalls]

I cracked a cold one with my phone 3 days ago and now it looks ugly af... not rly but its sad...

It is an s7 edge so u can tell the repair is gonna be pricy af...

So just like any idiot trying to find a cheap solution i came down to some utube videos saying toothpaste can ''fix my broken glass'' ofc i dont beleive it will go to that extend but can toothpaste kind of hide a bunch of cracks?

If not, is there any small solution? (cheap obv )

Don't put toothpaste on your phone, you're gonna have a bad time. I'm assuming there is a reason beyond it looking ugly to why you would like to hide this - but trust me, owning up to it will save a lot of problems in the future.

There isn't a whole lot you can do, other than putting tape or a screen protector on to avoid the sharp edges.

 

bit off topic

 

the S7 edge display is usually shipped as complete on frame. 

A lot of repair store give a heavy rebate on cracked but working LCDs as they can be refurbished.

 

depending on your location, it'll be cheaper to go through an authorised Samsung centre because the parts cost them a lot less than other places.

 

When I worked as a technician in a Samsung ASC, our cost price for complete assembly displays (for the then new Galaxy S4) was almost half of what was on the refurb market.

 

 

99% of displays used by "3rd party" stores are refurbished

 

 

I currently work for a company that does this

 

if you do go via a non ASC, check your replacement screen for burn in and touch issues (dial *#0*# to enter the SC test menu) before paying !

ASC= Authorised Service centre 

yeah the S7 and S7 Edge are expensive screens, with the edge it's quite literally half the phone

WTF!? 

It has to be water resistant again. Samsungs policy is it must meet manufacturer specs after out of warranty repairs.. That spec being water proof.. 

Did you contact them via the Samsung website? Or using the find a service centre thing on samsungs website?
