    Good deal Thanks op!

  • Pobman on 21/03/2015 - 12:10

    Given how many Xperia screens have cracked for no reason, including my one, Sony is the one who should be doing this!

    • jackary on 21/03/2015 - 16:52

      I had some luck having a self-shattering Z Ultra replaced under warranty ~18 months back, might be worth the call :)

      • Pobman on 21/03/2015 - 18:51

        Already tried… there are other faults on the phone, the USB flap failed and the wet strip in there is pink plus the power button does not work anymore either (turns on with Volume up and used a widget to turn it off) … both of those other two issues were there over a year before the screen went crack.

        Moved to a Lumia 735 now which has been a good experience so far.

        • jackary on 21/03/2015 - 19:18

          Share the pain. I had lots of earpiece/loudspeaker issues, got rid of it after 3 months.

  • yaziyo on 21/03/2015 - 12:15

    For some reason my brain was associating this was Samsung TVs. I was thinking this is one hell of a niche deal.

      yet still better than free wifi deals…

    Time to source broken phones on Gumtree for people from Sydney and Melbourne. :) I think one can easily make $200 if they could find a s5/s6 or Note 4/4 Edge…

      Not if you're not one of the first 50 to claim.

  • Leonard on 21/03/2015 - 13:06

    Unfortunately not Brisbane… girl dropped her Edge 2 days ago :(

    • Regie69 on 22/03/2015 - 10:32

      Out of curiosity how much os a edge screen to replace?

  • duodeta on 21/03/2015 - 14:09

    i had worst customer service with this brand last year with my S3.

    so i gave it up and will never touch anything from this brand.

    Good luck

      If ya want customer service you go for Apple, if you want awesome hardware you choose one of the Android Manufacturers.

      • jazoom on 21/03/2015 - 15:14

        Apple makes awesome hardware. It's their software and prices that are undesirable IMHO. Also, every second iPhone I see has a cracked screen so they should do this too.

        • sunarde on 21/03/2015 - 15:45

          Allot of people like the ios (maybe not 8 though)

          I worked in mobile sales for a long time and I would recommend windows android and ios depending on customer needs..

          Each have their own merit..

          Im not saying blindly purchase a apple but value is in the eye of the beholder. Almost every apple user had heard that line before yet still buy it?

          P. S. I have a nexus 6 =)

          Allot more power than I need but I upgrade phones every 3 years or so

      Last year my wife dropped her week old Note 3 and cracked the digitizer, when I took it to the Samsung service center in Nunawading the girl looked the phone then smiled and offered me a brand new phone as a replacement.

      Good luck

  • lplau on 21/03/2015 - 14:11

    Anybody know if they have exhausted their stock yet? lol.

  • neonlight on 21/03/2015 - 14:17

    I got a GS3 hoping I can get it fixed. Doubt the 50 last long enough

    • lplau on 21/03/2015 - 14:19

      Got a feeling they already exhausted the 50 lol. it started at 10AM and only goes for today.

      • neonlight on 21/03/2015 - 14:39

        Lol you are probably right. Would have gone by now

  • heyrosered on 21/03/2015 - 14:19

    Jeez 50, bit cheap for a giant multinational. They're not even doing it for free you have to pay! What a joke.

    • lplau on 21/03/2015 - 14:34
      +3

      Better than Apple who charges you $200-300 to replace a screen haha.

        +1

        Oh yeah, like I'm not oblivious to the fact that it's a good price, but the fact that it's limited to only 50 per store completely deflates the gesture for me.

      • ATangk on 21/03/2015 - 19:33

        i think that number is more like $300-450 based on the newest iphone 6/6+

  • WatchNerd on 21/03/2015 - 14:22

    They are not hard to replace, it just takes time and patience.
    I learnt watching youtube and have done 5 now.
    But $55.00 is cheap considering it takes me a few hours.

    • lplau on 21/03/2015 - 14:34
      +3

      $55 which includes the screen + installation is cheap.
      For the models listed above, pretty much all of them the replacement screen alone is $100+

      • WatchNerd on 21/03/2015 - 14:37
        +1

        Ok, yeah I was thinking it was the glass only, but lcd replacement as well is awesome.

        • lplau on 21/03/2015 - 14:41

          I'm pretty sure it is for both, as those screens & lcd now are fused together, no real easy way to remove them as the chance of cracking the lcd screen is so high.

    • neonlight on 21/03/2015 - 14:43
      +1

      Only the glass is broken on my GS3. But I heard the entire LCD has to be replaced because it's one piece.

      Not sure how you can get it done yourself.

      If the whole piece itself is like$200-$250 this is a good deal if so. Any pointers?

      • WatchNerd on 21/03/2015 - 14:47
        +3

        You can do it if you are handy, that was my point. I have removed the glass only on two S3 and three S4.
        Glass screens are a few dollars on ebay.
        Look on youtube, this one is good - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE0L7VZUzlE
        I don't even use a hair dryer now, just the warmth in my fingers, pick the glass off small bits at a time with a razor blade. The more it is cracked the easier it is.

    • Utopian on 24/03/2015 - 13:59

      "They are not hard to replace, it just takes time and patience….."

      ….and expensive hardware.

      Once I buy the screen & glass, I may-aswell pay the small amount extra to have a pro fit it, with warranty.

  • bchliu on 21/03/2015 - 14:31

    The galaxy note edge screen replacement is very good value. The special curved screens retail for over $200 alone. (But not in any need for one yet). I wonder if they can fix my note 3's proximity sensor for cheap?

  • ChronoTrigger on 21/03/2015 - 14:58

    Just getting my s5 screen replaced. Offer seems still avail at sydney store.
    Mad timing thanks OP.

    my 2-yo-note 3 has a minor scratch, so i don't need to replace. @@

  • [Deactivated] on 21/03/2015 - 15:22

    It's a nice little promotion but really they should advertise a certain fixed everyday price without a limited quantity and available Australia-wide including by post.

  • pcdokan on 21/03/2015 - 15:47

    what is the normal price ?

    • krisspy on 21/03/2015 - 16:37
      +1

      Replacement screens sell for about $2-300. Samsung only sells the whole screen unit afaik, like the gorilla glass and the oled loca glued together, not gorilla glass by itself.

  • exile on 21/03/2015 - 16:23

    Thanks OP, just got them to replace a S3 4G (I9305) even though its not listed as eligible. I guess its the same screen as the I9300. It looks like they are willing to do this deal until they run out of parts or until the end of the day. Must be well over the 50 quota by now.

    Had my Note 3 screen replaced at the Sydney experience store. Waited for about an hour, maybe less. Great service all in all, took home some freebies too like mouse pad and a 2gb usb drive.Thanks for the heads up OP!

  • Lenneth on 21/03/2015 - 16:59

    If you went and did this yourself you would be up for $100-200 just for parts and the inside of the phone is very delicate and cramped with tiny plugs to pull out. Those spare screens on ebay aren't genuine either so they would scratch up pretty easily. $55 for parts and labour is dirt cheap, I only wish this was in QLD too.

  • neonlight on 21/03/2015 - 17:21

    Lol that didn't last long

  • papagoose on 21/03/2015 - 18:01

    I find it pretty hilarious that their idea of doing a marketing promotion is to give the first 50 customers a discounted screen replacement. I mean Samsung is a multi-billion dollar global business, not some small corner store. If you're going to limit it to the first 50 customers for one day only, at least do it for free. And in addition, this is a promotion aimed at people who already have a broken Samsung product. Imagine being the customer that went to the store and waited in line, but found out they were 51st. Now you've got a broken phone and wasted your morning. The entire purpose of the promotion is to change your tarnished perception of Samsung, but now you'd feel doubly bad about the brand. Dunno who thought this promotion up, but it's classic Samsung :p

    • neonlight on 21/03/2015 - 18:59

      I agree 50 is too less.

      Hell if there's a LG or Xiaomi store I would not hesitate to go to those instead of shocking Samsung.

      They are both better products and value of money than poor quality from Samsung galaxies

      • jackary on 21/03/2015 - 19:20

        Yeah agreed. But a few conmenters have mentioned that they think more than 50 were performed at each outlet… Possibly just covering how many the techs could do at the very least in a day?

  • panpowa on 21/03/2015 - 18:02

    Went into the store at about 4pm and got my S5 screen replaced within about 30-45mins. Got my phone back and it's good as new. They were still accepting up until the last few mins until 5pm! Thanks OP and SES Sydney.

  • Son of Matrix on 21/03/2015 - 20:44

    Thanks OP!

    I am not sure why they updated my software though. When I came home, I need to set up my phone wifi connection again!

    They did ask for my password for the phone.

    The screen is replaced perfectly but I am not happy that they updated my operating system.

    Anyone can shed light on this?

    • Seiko on 21/03/2015 - 21:19

      I can't say anything about the os but when I replaced the battery in my nexus 5 I had to retype the WiFi passwords again. It's a weird one but it happened every time I replaced the battery ( and more specifically disconnected the aerial connections).

  • tmacz1 on 21/03/2015 - 21:02

    Anyone know where i can fix my rear camera glass protector on note 4

  • TheLurker on 22/03/2015 - 00:04

    Great deal, but I missed it. I was in the Samsung store today in Sydney, spoke to a rep, showed him my cracked S4 screen, and he tried to sell me a new phone. If only I'd known, I would have taken this up! At least I had a free cupcake and entered a prize draw for a tablet. Any Samsung rep willing to honour it again for Sunday please?

  • nublets on 22/03/2015 - 10:55

    Went in today and the rep said one day only - maybe other can have better luck

  • BewareOfThe Dog on 22/03/2015 - 13:22

    would have been worth the 2 hr drive to Sydney.
