I have an iPhone 4 (not 4s) with a cracked screen (glass only). Does anyone know if this can be replaced as just the glass, or if the lcd needs replacing with the glass?
I've looked on other sites and can't see anything about the glass only being replaced, but have bought a (possibly the wrong) part from eBay where it is just the glass, and know there are some technical people on here.
Thanks

Can be done but need to use a hairdryer to take the touch screen off....
Best ofd buying a whole unit to replace your screen...

If the lcd isn't cracked you can do the outer glass on it's own fairly easily.
It's a bit fiddly when you're putting it back though because you can't push too hard or you'll crack the new one, but it can be done.

If backlight does not work, its normally water damage to the LCD coil....If you change the front screen, the backlight may still not work

LCD coils are a pita, soldering iron job, I thought only the 3GS were affected though.
