Cracked screen needs to be replaced. (Philadelphia area)
Did you crack the lcd screen or just the cover? The 8310 has a plastic screen cover. Most people believe that if they crack the cover, they are actually cracking the lcd screen. Most of the time, the lcd screen isn't cracked.
If you can determine that you've only cracked the plastic lcd screen cover...you're laughing. If you can find another 8310 with a different problem, ie a bad logic board or non-reparable trackball, that has been discarded...you can remove the good screen cover. The screen cover is held down using a tape. Remove the good screen cover by prying an exacto knife type blade under the cover and work it along the outer edges of the top and the sides. Once those have been loosened, it is a fairly simple task to pry off the cover. Remove the broken cover and replace it with the good cover from the other 8310 and voila! No more crack.
Be careful not to scratch the good cover and remember to clean the inside as well before sticking it down on your unit. Otherwise you'll go crazy constantly trying to remove a dust particle from your BlackBerry...when the dust is between the lcd screen and the newly replaced cover.
Cheers!
You can use warranty or send it to the company and they will charge you if you hadnt taooken the warranty
to physically replace the part. If you want somebody else to do
it for you go to Blackberry Repair. If you want to do it yourself, here is a Blackberry curve Repair Guide that shows how, the part is available on Ebay.
