MartialRanger23 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 So my little sister received an Asus Nexus 7 1st Generation for her birthday a couple months ago, but a few weeks ago she dropped it (only a foot from the ground AND it was in a case) and the screen shattered. The lower part of the digitizer is nonfunctional (so no home, back, or recent apps buttons). For Christmas I would like to get it fixed for her, does anyone know of a good N7 repair place? Preferably one that I can mail her tablet to? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Do tablet slippery hands run in your family? Tell your dad that I can ship you some Stickum for Christmas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stickum AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She dropped hers in the backseat of our Suburban from approx 18". It was in a closed case and landed on a carpeted car floor with a carpeted floor mat. I was shocked it caused it to crack. Mine also cracked pretty easily. Robert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The digitizer, screen, and LCD are going to cost you around $150(That's the do it yourself cost). At which point you are better off just upgrading her to a new tablet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Joey, you should be a nice brother and, as a replacement, give your sister that tablet you carry around but call a phone. AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
