Phone Screen Repair in SingaporeOriginal Grade

What Phone Screen Repair Actually Involves

A phone screen is two parts bonded together: the glass you touch, and the display panel underneath that produces the picture. Most repairs replace both as one assembly, because on almost every modern phone they cannot be separated without specialist equipment. That is what the prices in the table above cover, per brand, using Original Grade parts.

The job itself is heat, patience and clean hands. The old assembly comes off with controlled heat and suction, the display connectors are released, the new panel goes in, and the phone is tested before it goes back to you. On most handsets it happens while you wait. Your data stays where it is, because replacing a screen does not involve wiping the phone.

LCD Replacement or Screen Glass Replacement: Which One Do You Need?

These sound like the same repair and they are not, which is why the price difference confuses people.

Screen replacement, the one this page prices, swaps the whole assembly. You need it if the display shows lines, patches of black, dead spots, discolouration, or nothing at all, or if touch has stopped responding. If the picture underneath is damaged, the glass alone will not fix it.

Screen glass replacement replaces only the outer glass and reuses your existing display. It is cheaper, and it is an option when the glass is cracked but the picture underneath is perfect and touch works everywhere. It is not available on every model, and it takes longer, because separating the glass from a good panel without ruining it is the fiddly part.

You do not have to work out which one you need. Bring the phone in, the diagnosis is free, and we will tell you which repair the damage actually calls for. If the cheaper one will do, that is the one we will quote.

How Much Does Phone Screen Repair Cost in Singapore?

Pick your brand from the table above for a live starting price, then your exact model for the figure that applies to it. Every price is nett, so what we quote after diagnosis is what you pay at collection.

Three things move the number. Panel technology matters most: an OLED or AMOLED panel costs considerably more than an LCD, which is why a flagship screen and a budget one can differ several times over. Screen shape is next, since curved and folding displays are harder to source and harder to fit than flat ones. Model age is the third, and it cuts both ways, because parts for very new and very old handsets are both harder to get than for something two years old.

What Parts Do You Fit?

Original Grade parts as standard, across every brand on this page, and we name the grade before you agree to the repair rather than after.

iPhone is the one exception worth knowing about. Citri Mobile participates in Apple's Independent Repair Provider programme, so we can fit genuine Apple parts for eligible iPhone repairs under the Apple IRP programme when that is what you want. Details are on our Independent Repair Provider page. For Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, vivo, Huawei, Honor, OnePlus, realme, Pixel, Sony, LG, Asus, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch and Surface, there is no equivalent manufacturer programme open to independent shops in Singapore, so those get Original Grade or quality parts and we will not pretend otherwise. If you want the trade-offs spelled out, we wrote them up in original versus OEM iPhone screens.

Should I Repair a Cracked Screen That Still Works?

Usually yes, and sooner rather than later.

A crack is an opening. Glass dust works down into the digitiser layer and moisture follows it, so a cracked screen that responds perfectly today often develops dead patches or ghost touch within weeks. At that point the cheaper glass-only repair is off the table and you are paying for the full assembly instead. Cracks also spread from the edges every time the phone flexes in a pocket.

There is a safety side too. Spidered glass catches skin and fingertips, and on a phone with a cracked corner the display underneath is no longer sealed against a spill.

Common Screen Problems We Repair

• Cracked glass, picture fine. Sometimes a glass-only job. Worth asking before you pay for a full assembly.
• Black screen, phone still rings. The display or its connector has failed while the phone underneath is working. More on a black iPhone screen.
• A vertical green or coloured line. A panel failure that turns up on its own, often after an update, with no drop involved. Covered for iPhone and Samsung.
• Ghost touch. The screen taps and types by itself, or ignores one area. Usually digitiser damage after a drop, even with no visible crack. See fixing ghost touch.
• Flickering or uneven brightness. Panel ageing or a loose display connector.
• Screen lifting at one edge. Not a screen fault. That is a swollen battery pushing up from underneath, and it needs looking at quickly.
• Laptop screen faults. Different job, different parts. See MacBook screen problems and MacBook screen replacement cost.

How Long Does a Phone Screen Repair Take?

Most take about 45 to 90 minutes when we have the part for your model in stock, and you can wait for it. Curved, folding and laptop screens take longer, and glass-only repairs take longer still because of the separation step. If your model is one of the slower ones, you will hear that when we quote rather than after you have handed the phone over.

Walk in any day from 11am to 9pm without an appointment. Message or call first though, so we can confirm we have your screen in stock before you make the trip. Screens are model-specific and we cannot shelf every panel for every handset.
