Wiko Y51 Screen Replacement Vienna
Does the touch act up after a drop, do spider-web cracks spread across the glass, or does the Y51 screen stay dark even though the phone still vibrates? The affordable entry-level Wiko carries a 5.45-inch IPS LCD in which the protective glass and the panel are built as a single unit. We swap this complete display unit from 99 EUR, after which the touchscreen responds cleanly again and the image is crisp. In Vienna we collect the Y51, from the rest of Austria you use the post – both with a 6-month warranty.

When the Wiko Y51 needs a new screen
A splintered glass is obvious at first glance – trickier are the cases where the Y51 looks intact from the outside but the screen stays black while vibration and ringing still work. On the 5.45-inch IPS panel a hard knock against the edge of a table is often enough to damage the display inside. Watch out for coloured stripes, a dark patch that slowly grows, flickering zones or a touch that only partly responds – all of these point to the display unit, which we replace completely on the Y51.
Why the whole IPS unit is replaced on the Y51
In the entry-level segment the Y51 belongs to, the protective glass and the IPS LCD are firmly bonded together at the factory. In theory only the glass could be changed, but it is not worth it on price and risks the sensitive panel underneath. That is why we go for the complete swap from 99 EUR: a tested display unit whose brightness, colours and touch sensitivity match the as-delivered state. You get a reliable image back straight away with no follow-up risk.
How the screen swap on the Y51 works
- Visual inspection and function test to clearly pin down a glass, panel or touch fault.
- Gentle warming and release of the bonded unit without straining the battery and mainboard.
- Fitting of the new IPS display unit with fresh, dust-tight bonding.
- Final test of image, brightness and touch across the entire 5.45-inch surface.
By the way: if the charging cable also sits loose or the Y51 no longer charges properly over the Micro-USB port, take a look at the Wiko Y51 charging port repair. You will find an overview of every fault on the Wiko Y51 repair page.
Repair the screen or replace the Y51?
Even though the Wiko Y51 costs little to buy, a screen swap from 99 EUR is almost always the smarter decision. The processor, storage, camera and battery usually survive a drop unscathed – only the screen is broken. A replacement device would cost more, and because Wiko is barely available in Austria, you would not easily find a direct successor. You can read more about all Wiko models in the Wiko repair hub.
A word of caution: the Y51 carries no IP certification and is therefore not protected against water. If moisture got into the housing alongside the screen breakage, please mention it right when you book – we will then check the board too before the new panel goes in.
Frequently asked questions about Wiko Y51 screen replacement
What does the screen swap on the Wiko Y51 cost?
The screen swap on the Wiko Y51 starts from 99 EUR. This includes the complete IPS display unit, the fitting and a 6-month warranty. We confirm the exact fixed price for you bindingly after the short diagnosis.
Why does the Y51 screen cost from 99 EUR and not less?
Glass and IPS panel are firmly bonded on the Y51, so we replace the whole unit rather than just the glass. The price from 99 EUR covers the tested spare part, the proper fitting and the warranty – with no hidden extra costs.
My Y51 stays black but still vibrates – what is broken?
If the Y51 vibrates and rings but shows no image, the IPS display is usually damaged, not the whole device. That is a classic case for the screen swap from 99 EUR. We check in advance whether only the panel and not also the board is affected.
The glass is cracked but the image still works – do I still need a swap?
We advise a swap as soon as there are cracks in the glass. Splinters can come loose and cut your fingers, and moisture gets in more easily. As glass and IPS panel form one unit on the Y51, the repair is a uniform price from 99 EUR.
Do you fit original or aftermarket screens on the Y51?
There is no separate original/aftermarket choice on the Y51. We fit one uniform, tested quality IPS unit that matches the factory standard in image and touch – at a fixed price from 99 EUR.
How long does the screen replacement on the Y51 take?
The screen swap itself usually takes 2 to 3 hours in the workshop, including bonding and a function test. As the Y51 is rare, we may have to order the matching unit first – then add one to two days of delivery time.
Do my photos and contacts stay intact during the screen swap?
Yes, a screen change does not touch the storage – photos, contacts and apps stay completely intact. A backup beforehand never hurts, especially if the Y51 also took on some moisture.
Can I drop the Y51 off with you for the screen swap?
No, we do not run a walk-in shop with customer traffic. Instead we collect the Y51 in Vienna with the pickup service, or you send it in conveniently by post – both routes end with the repaired device back at your home.
How does the pickup service for the Y51 in Vienna work?
You book online or by phone, then we agree a collection slot together. A courier picks the Y51 up from you, we fit the new display unit in the workshop and deliver the device back to you afterwards.
Can I send my Y51 in from Graz or Innsbruck for the screen swap?
Yes, the send-in service is available Austria-wide. Pad the Y51 well and send it to Dr.-Natterer-Gasse 4a/Top 57, 1020 Vienna. After the screen swap the device comes back to you insured.
Do I get a warranty on the new Y51 screen?
Yes, 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 drop, 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 screen is actually affected and gives you the binding fixed price upfront.
The Y51 was in the rain and the screen is playing up – is that water damage?
The Y51 has no IP certification, so moisture can affect both the screen and the board. Switch the device off immediately and do not charge it. During the diagnosis we clarify whether a plain screen swap is enough or the board needs cleaning too.
Does the Y51 touch respond everywhere again after the swap?
Yes, after fitting we test the touch across the whole 5.45-inch surface and recalibrate it if needed. The Y51 then recognises swipes and taps reliably right into the corners again, with no dead zones.
Is the screen swap worth it at all on the affordable Y51?
In most cases, yes. A screen from 99 EUR is cheaper than a new phone, and the rest of the Y51 keeps running. As a direct Wiko successor is hard to find in Austria, you also save yourself the search and setting up all your accounts again.
