Can anyone tell me if it's worth trying to do a DIY replacement on a smashed iPhone 4S screen? The display is fine but just wondering if it's worth paying someone else to do it because someone quoted me £120.

I repair 4s screens at £60 as the screens are only £30 to buy I wouldn't recommend trying it yourself though it's not easy

I've done a few now too, it is tricky but not worth £120.

Can someone post up a link to the exact part needed as I've seen varying things on eBay which mention LCD screen and digitiser. I reckon with the right tools I'd give it it a go.

on some 4s you need to change hust the digitiser but u cant as its a complete unit and iphone 4s screen u buy will come intact with a digitiser. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replacement-L ... 3cc28cdf6e
