it seems that the T68 doesn't quite like having a car trunk slammed shut on it... when my g/f did that, it broke the LCD display on her T68, although surprisingly, nothing else seems to have been damaged (including the glass screen covering the LCD display). the phone still works and does everything as it should, except of course that you can't see anything except a few flashes of light here and there on the broken LCD display.

has this happened to anyone? is this fixable? anyone have any idea how much it might cost to get this fixed? the phone was bought abroad, so no warranty...

cool, thanks! i didn't know it was possible to order something like this. do you know though if it's hard to do this by yourself? any chance i might ruin the phone if i try to do this by myself? do i need any special tools?

wow, not very cheap...
probably better to order it for US$50 on the GSMsquare website and to try (very carefully!) replacing it myself...

is that what it costs just for the LCD, or is that the cost to have it replaced at the service center?

yep, it doesn't look too pretty with the broken LCD

i didnt ask if it included the service charge/ labor fee. but the price most probably was just for the LCD itself.

ugh. thanks. i guess it'll be expensive to fix at any service center... does anyone have experience opening the phone and replacing any parts (not necessarily just the LCD)? is it difficult to do?
