Blackberry priv screen replacement problem?

[Amanda Ripanykhazov]

Is there some overwhelming technical problem with replacing a Priv screen please?

All screen replacement services are MASSIVELY expensive (the LCD alone seems to cost $180) and places like ebay are full of Privs on which the owners seemingly cant replace their cracked screens?

Curiously, ebay sales are rife with digitiser offers, - where the digitiser cant actually be replaced because it cant practically be separated from the LCD! What is going on?? On every other cellphone the repair cost nose-dives when the phone stops being current!

Thank you for that but this makes the question even more baffling!
The screen-only repair is not difficult, in fact not only is it easy, it is a 5-10 minute job!

why on earth is it so expensive? I can't believe that this screen is made by any different company from galaxy/iphone/etc screens?
