HTC one mini 2 broken screen

[Storm_Force]

Well it was bound to happen at some point managed to break my first screen, dropped it the weekend now the screen is fooked big time not working at all.

After having a look on the interweb it looks very difficult to change myself without killing the phone in the process, the cheapest I can get a screen fitted in for £90. Sort of thinking whether or not its worth repairing any suggestions or tips if I attempt this myself or shall I just bin it?

The screen for those seems hard to come by, only one I could find was over £60. If you're paying that you may as well pay the £90 and have someone do it for you. You may be able to get a cheaper one on ebay but they're usually not genuine and are shite.

You can buy the phone new / refurbed on ebay for £150, and mazuma the old one for £30. Still cheaper to get yours fixed, but its your choice really.

Decided not to bother with the reapir, is there anyway of wiping my phone via the usb lead? as if I sell it as broken I don't want my stuff on there.

Does the screen work at all ? If so hard reset it but need to see the screen to see which part of the menu to use volume keys with

Nope the screen is completely knackered, phone still works as I can hear the facebook messages LOL!

Just for info, I installed HTC Device manager on my new phone which allowed me to connect to the old phone and factory reset it.
