First what phone do you have? You've posted this in the general ask a question section where we field questions on just about every Android device, so it could be $5 to $500.

Are you planning to DIY this project? If so have you checked YouTube? There are teardown videos there for just about every popular device, along with replacement videos with links to parts vendors for those parts.

Have you tried Google Shopping? Just enter the brand, model and "replacement screen" and that should get you some ballpark pricing.



If you feel that it may not be screen burn or that there may be an alternative to screen replacement feel free to take a picture of the screen and post it using mustang7757's link after registering an account, sorry mustang but screenshots won't show screen burn, but seeing people post screenshots of their cracked screens sure is fun.

First, SCREEN REPLACEMENT IS NOT A DIY JOB!

Second, the normal price range is more realistically $100-$200. (If you find a shop willing to do it for much under $100, they're probably just going to run a burn-in app - which you can do yourself for free. Just look in Play for burn in screen repair app.)

Not to be inflammatory but...

First, replacing a screen can be a DIY, I've done it three times on different devices. There are plenty of videos on YouTube on how to do it and it really comes down to your skill level and aptitude. Is it for everyone? No but it's not that difficult that it can't be tried if someone thinks they're up to it.

Second, my price range covers yours and while there aren't many, there are some pretty inexpensive screens out there for devices. My first screen was $30, so there was a little sarcasm with the $5 thing but we don't know what the OP has. Although I did see several for under $10 just today. Like this one, .https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-...pre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/263770805968. At the same time I found this one for $400, https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-...pre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/223592544521, so $500 may have been a bit of an exaggeration also, and again we don't know what they have.
