I got a guy to fix my phone screen. Overall cost was less than $100, the replacement screen was like $50 from China.
I did that too and screen didn't even last 6 months. That's the problem with cheap screens. You don't get much out of them.
Mine didn't even last 2 months under a screen protector. I didn't even get a cheap price on a cheap screen. I got rid of the phone since it cost too much to replace. They said it wasnt a common part, if it had been a Samsung or iPhone it would have been closer to 50 to replace.
I once got a screen replaced by a street vendor in shenzhen for $5 but then it cracked on the way to the hotel (just the glass put on the LCD with thin strips of vhb on the side)
I had one do it for less than that in Beijing from a shop and it still works today
