What's Included in a Phone Screen Repair?
June 2026 · 3 min read · By Curbside Phone Tech
When you pay for a screen repair in Minnetonka, here's exactly what that covers — and what you should expect from any honest repair provider.
What gets replaced
Display panel
The OLED or LCD that produces the image. Replaced with an OEM-grade or OEM equivalent unit.
Digitizer
The touch sensor layer laminated into the screen assembly. Replaced as part of the same unit on modern phones.
Front glass
The protective glass face on the outside. Part of the display assembly — replaced with the panel.
Adhesive / seals
The adhesive gaskets that seal the screen to the frame. Fresh adhesive is applied on reassembly.
What we test before leaving your location
- Full display white-field and color test — checks for dead pixels or color inaccuracies
- Touch responsiveness across all zones including edges and corners
- Brightness levels at min/max and auto-brightness if applicable
- Earpiece speaker (sits in the display housing on many models)
- Face ID / Fingerprint sensor function where applicable
- Screen orientation and proximity sensor response
What is NOT included in a screen replacement
- Back glass: If the rear glass is also cracked from the same drop, that's a separate repair
- Frame straightening: A bent aluminum frame is a separate service — if the frame is bent significantly, the new screen may not seal properly until it's addressed
- Water damage treatment: If the phone has water inside, screen replacement without addressing the water first usually leads to failure
The 90-day warranty
Our screen repairs come with a 90-day warranty covering the replaced part and labor. If the screen develops a defect, discoloration, dead pixels, or touch failure that isn't from a new impact, we make it right. This warranty is the reason we use quality parts — cheap screens fail fast and warranty claims wipe out any savings from going cheap on components.
