Thanked 0 Times in 0 Postsi did send my M8 back to Meizu for repair. Got it back and it's working fine again. Before sending it back i replaced the replacement touchscreen back to original. So if somebody want's to try, the touchscreen is for sale so let me know.

Thanked 1 Time in 1 PostNever Again
Earlier in this thread I posted a message about replacing the touch screen on my first edition M8 and discovering that it was faulty. The ebay seller did not offer to replace it so many months later I sent the phone to Meizu for repair. Here is the bill they sent me for the repair. As you can see the cost of replacing the screen/digitizer is less than the cost of buying a new screen from ebay or some China mobile company and installing it yourself.
1) Repair and material: US$56
2) DHL fee: US$35.5
3) Insurance: US$13(2% of invoice value, minimum US$13)
4) Paypal and banking fee: US$7
---------------------------------
Total: US$111.5
I hope that this convinces people that it is not worth the hassle of replacing the screen of your Meizu when the factory repair service is so inexpensive. If you do go ahead and attempt the repair yourself you may do what I did and damage the case attempting to open it. Also if the speaker is not included with the screen/digitizer it is easy to sever the delicate wires connecting it when moving the speaker from the old screen/digitizer. Here is a source for SE M8 screen/digitizer that does include the speaker:

Thanked 173 Times in 72 PostsWell, my M8's touchscreen died a few months ago and I didn't bother since I have an htc desire.
But I finally ordered a new touchscreen + speaker for it. I am hoping to use it as a music player since the music quality is really good.
For those in need of a speaker, it is indeed the same as the iphone speakers: NEW Ear Earpiece Speaker for iPhone 2G 3G 3GS (free shipping) | eBayBen je Nederlands?
