Aimnfire 4th Gear July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 if under warranty it will do a 1 on 1 exchange other than that can as some hp shop i think will be less than $50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladykillerz 4th Gear July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 mine getting stuck..anyone knows where to get it fixed.. i saw how to do it on internet..but also heard of people damaging the ribbon cable in the proces.. anyone knows you can try SLS. but before you confirmed a shop to fix it for you, make sure you ask a few more shops before deciding to one particular shop. this is to ensure that you won't get "carrot" by the famous hearsay.

Lalakio Neutral Newbie July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 My old 3GS same problem, can't detect pressing. Asked around shops most quoted 45 to 50 bucks. So ex for a stupid small component. End up ordered the home flex from eBay for only less den $8 and DIY changed. Lol those shops really know how to make $$... If ur good in DIY, can juz change yourself, less den 10mins done.
