has anyone ever replaced their own mobile screen themselves? one of my twins smashed my htc wildfire S this morning on the way to school and the screen is completely cracked...I have seen kits i=on ebay with replacement screen and the tools to do it...just wanted to see if anyone had ever done it themselves...would rather pay the £21 for the kit than the £100 for a new screen through O2 shop...

you can get it cheaper than £100, find a small mobile shop, my daughter has a iphone 4 and smashed the screen, i paid £30 to have it replaced at a shop, you just need to shop about

yeah have seen ones for £19.95...I think I will go ahead and order one now that I have watched a couple of the youtube videos and feel a bit more confident about being able to do it myself.Feel like and idiot for not getting the insurance when I got the phone in december though...lol

Thanks all for your help
