Cellphone screen repair in North Jersey
Screen repair is the job we do most, on every brand of phone, at all five Talk N Fix Wireless stores. This page is about the fault rather than the badge on the back: what a failing display actually looks like, what decides whether you need glass or a whole assembly, and how long you will be waiting. Whichever phone you carry, the answer starts the same way - a free look before any price is quoted.
What a failing screen looks like
- Cracked glass, whether or not the display underneath still works
- The display is intact but touch has died in a band or a corner
- Ghost touch - the phone opening things by itself, typing without you
- Lines, coloured bands or blotches that were not there before the drop
- The screen is black but the phone still rings, vibrates and takes calls
- The image is there but very dim, even at full brightness
- The glass is lifting away from the frame at one edge
A phone that is black but still vibrating is usually a display fault rather than a dead phone, and that is a much better position to be in than it feels like. Bring it in before you write it off.
Phones we replace screens on
Every major brand, not one or two.
- iPhone, every model
- Samsung Galaxy, including folding models
- Google Pixel, every generation
- Motorola, LG and other major brands
- Both glass-only and full display assemblies, where the model allows it
The Process
Step by step
Free diagnostic
We check whether the damage is the outer glass alone or the display assembly under it, because that is the difference between two very different prices.
Written quote
Priced for your exact model and for the option that actually applies to your damage. You approve it before anything is opened.
Stock check
We tell you whether the screen for your model is on the shelf, which is what decides whether you wait or come back.
The replacement
The old assembly comes out, the new one goes in, and seals and adhesive are replaced rather than reused so the phone closes up as it should.
Touch and display testing
We test touch across the whole panel, not the middle of it, along with the sensors that live behind the screen on your model.
Handover
You see it working before you pay, and the warranty runs from that day.
How long a screen repair takes
iPhone and Samsung screens are stocked, so those are wait-in-store repairs.
Pixel screens and the less common brands are ordered.
The rule is the same across everything we repair: common devices and common parts are same-day, usually 30 to 45 minutes while you wait. Rarer devices and less common parts are ordered, which means 24 hours or more.
Call your nearest store with your model before you travel and we will tell you which of the two you are.
Warranty
30-day warranty as standard on every repair and sale. 6-month and 1-year warranty options available.
What makes the price go up or down
iPhone $79 - $299 · Samsung $65 - $329
That is the standard price for the repair itself, and the final price is confirmed once we have looked at the device.
What moves it is other damage found during the repair. If we find something beyond the original fault, we tell you and quote again before we continue. You are never charged for work you have not agreed to.
For a figure on your exact model, ask the chat on this site. If it does not have your model, call your nearest store.

Is the part OEM, refurbished or aftermarket?
OEM-grade quality parts. We offer both OEM and aftermarket, so you choose based on what you want to pay.
Will Face ID, True Tone and the fingerprint sensor be affected?
No. Everything that worked before the repair works after it. We transfer the original chip from your old screen, which is what preserves it. Most shops skip that step.
Will water resistance be affected?
Yes. Once a phone has been opened it is no longer water resistant, on any repair at any shop. Anyone telling you otherwise is not being straight with you.
What does the warranty cover?
30-day warranty as standard on every repair and sale. 6-month and 1-year warranty options available.
Will there be a written receipt with the IMEI?
Yes. Every receipt carries the IMEI, or at least the last four digits, so your phone matches the repair.
Is data backed up or protected?
We do not back up your data, so back it up yourself before coming in. No data is corrupted by a repair.
Can you replace just the glass instead of the whole screen?
On some models, yes, and it costs less. On others the glass and the display are bonded as one part and have to be replaced together. We tell you which yours is at the free assessment.
My screen is black but the phone still rings. Is it dead?
Usually not. That pattern normally points at the display rather than the phone, which is the cheaper of the two problems to have.
Is a small crack worth fixing now?
Usually yes. Cracks let dust and moisture past the seal, and a crack over the digitiser tends to spread into dead touch. Small cracks rarely stay small.
Do you repair Pixel screens?
Yes, every generation, but Pixel parts are ordered rather than stocked, so allow 24 hours or more.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk-ins are welcome at all five stores.
