btw i have some knowledge on this subject so i will educate the thread.
first the screen is amoled not lcd. its harder to replace becuase its a new technology
there are many differences between lcd and oled displays. first oled does not require a backlighting system instead they brightness of each pixel is controlled independently meaning it takes up less space and means a pixel can actually be turned of making oleds (currently) twice as energy efficient as lcd.
secondly and more importantly is the reason why these cracks under the screen destroy the whole thing instead of leaving only a few dead pixels like it would on a tft or lcd. this happens because of the one fatal flaw of organic light emitting diodes which happens to also be its greatest asset. they are organic, what this means is that the leds are incredibly sensitive to moisture if an oled is exposed to moisture it is going to die and as you have seen this happens quite rapidly. just thought everyone might want to learn something
