I dropped my phone with a case and protective screen on it bu now the screen is cracked and completely black and won’t work, should I just buy another phone or can the screen be fixed?
It’s fixable. Sounds like a purely cosmetic repair Here’s parts Galaxy Note5 Screen Here’s labor Samsung Galaxy Note5 LCD screen & USB board & Home button Replacement
fix it. you may loose your data once you never backed it up. and the costs between fixing and the new one differs slightly????
I would fix it for the fun of fixing and learning. But the I would not be happy paying over $200 for the screen replacement. Regards Ricardo
