My friend has a working phone with a cracked screen front and back ...and a faulty phone with good screens

How much do you reckon they would get charged to do this?

It's not too bad a job, just loads of screws.

Yip done a couple. As long as you've got the patience and small screwdriver you can do it.

No bits to peel off or heat with a hairdryer or anything that can easily go wrong.

Just follow the guide on ifixit.

Fairly easy just fiddly make sure you know where each screw comes from as all different sizes.

Ill do it for £25 inc return postage, an internal clean and a full check.

Both phones must be same model by the way. Not 4 and 4s

Can bend some of the tabs off to fit the other, never goes on perfect though.

I also find it easier heating the old screen when removing as it heats the glue/tape up

What glue? Full unit comes off when you unscrew it.

There is glue/adhesive at the top of the screen(either side of the speaker) and at the bottom(either side of the home button).
