Realme 5i Screen Replacement Vienna
Does the touchscreen on your Realme 5i only respond in one corner, do vertical stripes drift across the image, or does the 6.5-inch screen simply stay dark after the impact? On the Realme 5i the protective glass and the IPS LCD panel sit as one bonded unit, so we replace the complete screen for 89 EUR – after that the display is bright, clear and touch-responsive everywhere again. In Vienna we collect the 5i from you, from the other provinces you use the postal route, both with a 6-month warranty.

When the Realme 5i needs a new screen
Sometimes the damage is obvious – a spider's web of cracks right across the glass after a fall from the table. Often, though, the Realme 5i looks intact from the outside and yet something is wrong: the touch only accepts every second input, a coloured shadow lingers at the edge, or the image flickers at certain brightness levels. On the 5i, symptoms like these trace back to the IPS LCD panel, which we replace together with the glass as one whole unit.
Why the entire IPS LCD is replaced on the 5i
On the Realme 5i the protective glass and the IPS LCD panel beneath it are firmly bonded together at the factory. A separate glass swap is technically possible but drives up the effort and endangers the display below. For a budget device in this class the complete swap for 89 EUR is therefore the clean solution: a tested display unit that restores brightness, colour reproduction and touch precision to factory level – without the risk of destroying the delicate panel in the process.
How the screen swap on the Realme 5i works
- Visual inspection and touch test to cleanly pin down a glass break, panel or touch fault.
- Gentle release of the bonded old unit without straining the battery or mainboard.
- Fitting of the new IPS LCD unit with fresh, dust-tight bonding.
- Check of image, brightness and touch across the entire 6.5-inch surface.
If charging is also playing up – for instance because the Micro-USB cable only sits loosely now – take a look at the Realme 5i charging port repair. You will find an overview of every fault on the Realme 5i repair page.
Repair the screen or replace the 5i?
The Realme 5i was an affordable everyday device when it launched – and yet the screen swap for 89 EUR almost always pays off. Storage, camera and the large battery usually survive a fall unharmed, only the screen is broken. A replacement device in the same class costs more, and with a swap you would have to set up accounts, apps and photos again, while a fully working phone ends up in the bin. You can find all Realme models in the Realme repair hub.
One more note of caution: the Realme 5i has no IP certification and therefore no protection against ingressing moisture. If water got into the housing alongside the screen damage, please mention this right when you book – then we check the board too before fitting the new display.
Frequently asked questions about Realme 5i screen replacement
What does the screen swap on the Realme 5i cost?
The screen swap on the Realme 5i costs 89 EUR as a fixed price. This includes the complete IPS LCD unit, the fitting and a 6-month warranty. There are no hidden extra costs – we confirm the amount after the short diagnosis.
Why is there only a fixed price of 89 EUR on the 5i instead of a cheaper glass repair?
On the Realme 5i the glass and the IPS LCD panel are firmly bonded; a glass-only swap would endanger the panel and barely save anything. That is why we replace the whole unit for 89 EUR – including the part, the fitting and the warranty.
My 5i rings and vibrates but the screen stays black – what is broken?
If sounds and vibration work and only the image is missing, the display panel is usually damaged rather than the whole device. That is a typical case for the swap for 89 EUR. We check beforehand that really only the display and not the board is affected.
The touchscreen only responds partly – is a screen swap enough?
On the Realme 5i the touch layer sits right inside the display unit. If the screen only responds in parts or not at all, this is fixed with the new display for 89 EUR. After fitting we test the touch detection across the entire surface.
Do you fit an original or aftermarket display on the 5i?
There is no separate original/aftermarket choice for the Realme 5i. We fit one uniform, tested IPS LCD unit that matches the factory standard in brightness, colour and touch – at a fixed price of 89 EUR.
How long does the screen replacement on the Realme 5i take?
The actual screen swap usually takes 2 to 4 hours in the workshop, including bonding and a final test. With the pickup service or send-in, add the transport time – we discuss the exact frame with you when you book.
Do photos, contacts and apps stay intact during the screen swap?
Yes, a screen change does not touch the storage – photos, contacts and apps stay unchanged on the 5i. A backup beforehand never hurts, especially if moisture was also involved.
Can I drop the Realme 5i off with you for the screen swap?
No, we do not have a shop with walk-in traffic. Instead our courier collects the 5i from you in Vienna, or you send it in conveniently by post – both routes end with the fully repaired device back at your home.
How does the pickup service for the 5i in Vienna work?
You book online or by phone, then we agree a collection slot. The courier picks the Realme 5i up at your preferred address in Vienna, we fit the new display and deliver the device back to you afterwards.
Can I send my 5i in from Salzburg or Innsbruck for the screen swap?
Yes, the send-in service is available across all of Austria. Pad the Realme 5i well and send it to Dr.-Natterer-Gasse 4a/Top 57, 1020 Vienna. After the screen swap the device comes back to you insured.
What warranty do I get on the new 5i display?
There is a 6-month warranty on the display unit and the fitting. Should a fault appear on the swapped screen within this period that was not caused by a new fall, we fix it free of charge.
What does the diagnostic check before the screen swap cost?
The diagnostic check costs 25 EUR and is waived in full as soon as you order the screen swap. It makes sure only the display is affected and gives you the binding fixed price of 89 EUR.
The 5i was in the rain and the screen now shows blotches – is that water damage?
The Realme 5i has no water protection, so moisture can reach both the panel and the board. Switch the device off immediately and do not charge it. During the diagnosis we determine whether a screen swap alone is enough or the board needs cleaning too.
Does the new IPS LCD shine as brightly as the factory one?
Yes, we fit a display unit that matches the original IPS LCD of the 5i in brightness and colour reproduction. After fitting we check the image for even backlighting and correct colours, so the display looks just as you know it again.
Is the screen swap on the affordable Realme 5i even worth it anymore?
In most cases, yes. A screen for 89 EUR is far cheaper than a new phone, and the rest of the 5i keeps running. You save yourself setting up accounts and apps again and keep a familiar, intact device.
