Screen replacement Samsung Galaxy mega

My friend dropped her Galaxy mega and the screen cracked and it no longer responds to touch. I need to know what all I need to buy to fix this.

Search on Amazon for the screen. They normally sell the kit to replace the screen along with it.

Make sure you want to do this yourself. What usually happens is that, while replacing the screen you break something else (usually a connector or small component). Then you try to fix that - and break something else. Eventually you realize that you should bring it in to a repair shop and pay them to do it.

The first thing they'll do is totally check the phone out to make sure they know everything that's broken (since the repair covers the entire phone). When you hear what that's going to cost, before they even start fixing anything, you'll realize that it would have been a LOT cheaper to pay to have the screen replaced.

Working on the insides of a cellphone isn't like changing a tire, it's more like setting a broken elbow. Nick an artery and you need a new patient.
