How much did it cost to do that? Because a coworker cracked her screen twice. First time apple store at Easton just gave her a new one for free and second time they only charged her like 70 bucks.

 

Seriosuly? the guy at polaris told me id have to buy a new one!! :mad:

You need a small phillips screw driver and a suction cup. Remove the 2 small screws on the bottom of the phone. Attach the suction cup to the screen. The glass, digitizer, and LCD are glued together and should come up as 1 assembly. Find the signal cable for the LCD. Make sure it's plugged in. Google for more detailed instructions and pics.

 

Edit: being an iphone4 it's under a year old and should still be under warranty. Plug it into your computer that has your iTunes installed. iTunes will perform a backup regardless of the condition on the screen. Once you back it up, select the "restore" option in iTunes. It will install a non JB iOS4.2.1. Then take it to the Applestore.

Ive already taken it apart and pit a new screen on it. I didnt get the didgitizer with the new screen thats where i fucked up

 

The digitizer is the "touch" in "touch screen". That wouldn't cause a whore screen. You likely left something unplugged. Open her up and try again.

This. Don't order more parts than you need to. Only a fraction of the time that a screen breaks on those the digitizer goes with it.
