Hello people,
My nexus 7 fell from my pocket yesterday on the floor and the screen was broken severely. The power and volume buttons still work but the touch no longer works. Do you people know a place where I can get it fixed. Given that I bought it from US, I don't know what shops here own parts for it and such.
Thanks in advance

Try your best not to fix it in lebanon!! They use cheap chinese digitizers that have crap touch response, break VERY easily, and they will charge you twice as much as the actual genuine part might cost

really? it's gonna cost me a fortune to send it back to US ... is there any trusted place?

In my experience no place is trusted, all buy the cheapest parts and don't really make an effort on installing it correctly, then they charge you 20x the original price. You can, however, try to order a genuine OEM digitizer(outer touch surface) online and get a store to install it in front of you.

lallous_87, mmk92 is completely right. They can also change the internal parts of the tablet. I am not speaking out of fear, I am speaking out of a similar experience.
Learn to fix it on your own. It isn't hard to do, and if you find you're not able / willing to, or you have salty hands, get one of the geeks here to help you out with it.
I'd help you out with it if you like.

Well, I'm willing to do it, but where do I get an OEM from...

You need to search around in Taiwanese / Chinese online stores. Do you happen to speak Mandarin, by any chance?
Maybe George Li can help us out here. I'll contact him via PM.
EDIT: Sent. Let's see.

thanks. but how safe is this? how do you know what your getting is the right thing?

Honestly your best bet is to buy a new one, it's gonna cost at least 150 for that screen and digitizer, which is 50 dollars down from a new one in the US ...
sell it for parts to someone and get a new one
lallous_87
Well, I already ordered a new one from USA.
The screen is still working, it's just the glass that's broken. I want to fix the old one and give it to my sister. How much does the digitizer alone cost?

Would anyone buy this Nexus 7 from me? what are your prices?
