Poco X5 5G Screen Replacement Vienna
A purple colour cast creeping in from the right edge of your Poco X5 5G, white areas looking tinted lilac, and only the right side affected? After an impact the edge-panel driver of the 6.67-inch AMOLED is damaged – a fault no software fix can cure. Reparo replaces the screen in Vienna – EUR 149, done in 2–3 hours, with a 6-month warranty.

What to expect
The Poco X5 5G is opened and the damaged 6.67-inch AMOLED – along with its edge-panel driver and flex cable – is removed. A tested replacement panel goes in, the punch-hole opening is aligned to the millimetre with the selfie camera, and the display is checked by eye for even colour.
Usually 2–3 hours. Pickup in Vienna the same or next day. Send-in from anywhere in Austria: 1–3 business days from arrival at Reparo.
White areas are neutral again, no more purple edge tint. 120 Hz scrolling runs smoothly and touch responds across the whole surface. Camera, battery and the 5G module stay untouched during the screen swap. All your data kept.
EUR 149 fixed price – incl. AMOLED panel, fitting and a 6-month warranty. Diagnostic check 25 EUR, waived once you go ahead with the repair. Price confirmed before we start.
Typical display faults on the Poco X5 5G
White areas look tinted lilac along the right side of the display while the left renders normally. The edge-panel driver – the control unit for the outer pixel column – has been damaged by a side impact. No software update fixes this.
Cracks radiate star-like around the selfie-camera cut-out. Front-camera image quality suffers because glass splinters create light reflections. A screen replacement restores the clear look and the touch protection.
The AMOLED shows line offset or brief black artefacts during fast scrolling. The high refresh rate overwhelms the damaged panel driver – after the screen swap, 120 Hz runs clean and smooth again.
Inputs are only registered on the left side, the right edge responds late or not at all. The digitiser layer of the panel has hairline cracks – swapping the display unit restores full touch sensitivity.
The Poco X5 5G vibrates, notifications come in, but the screen stays black. The panel connector is either loose or the AMOLED has fractured internally. Opening and replacing solves the problem for good.
After long use, ghost images of the status bar or keyboard appear. Burn-in is typical of AMOLED and can't be calibrated away. A panel swap for EUR 149 gives the Poco X5 5G a clean screen back.

How the Poco X5 5G screen replacement works
-
Pickup in Vienna or send-in
Book an appointment – we collect the Poco X5 5G from you in Vienna, or you post it in from anywhere in Austria. No shop visit needed.
-
Diagnosis: edge-panel driver or cracked glass?
We check whether the purple edge cast comes from the panel driver or whether there's a mainboard fault underneath. Diagnostic check 25 EUR, waived on repair.
-
Open the Poco X5 5G & remove the AMOLED
The back is released, the battery disconnected, and the display unit lifted carefully off the frame. The flex cables to the mainboard are safely decoupled without damaging any sockets.
-
Fit the new AMOLED panel
The certified 6.67-inch replacement panel is set into the frame, the punch-hole cut-out aligned to the millimetre with the selfie camera, and all connectors reconnected.
-
Colour and touch test across the whole surface
A white-screen test checks colour evenness at the edges – no more cast visible. 120 Hz scroll test, touch test in every corner, and calibration of automatic brightness.
-
Return & 6-month warranty
The Poco X5 5G goes back – in Vienna usually the same day, by post 1–3 business days. Every screen repair carries a 6-month warranty on panel and fitting.
Reparo works without a walk-in. Everything runs via pickup in Vienna or send-in from Austria.
Is a screen replacement on the Poco X5 5G still worth it?
The Poco X5 5G launched in 2023 – now three years old, but with 5G connectivity, an AMOLED panel and a 5000 mAh battery it's still perfectly capable for everyday use. For EUR 149 you get the screen back and keep using the device for another two to three years without trouble. A current Xiaomi 14 starts at around EUR 899 – buying new only makes sense here if the battery or camera are giving trouble alongside the display.
- EUR 149 – clear fixed price
- All apps, 5G eSIM and MIUI settings kept
- 6-month warranty on panel & fitting
- Done in about 2–3 hours
- Pickup in Vienna or send-in
- From about EUR 899 (Xiaomi 14, new)
- eSIM migration, app logins and cloud backup set up afresh
- Sell or dispose of the Poco X5 5G
- Getting used to a new HyperOS interface
With an isolated display fault, the swap for EUR 149 is the economically clearer choice – especially because the Poco X5 5G is still strong enough hardware-wise for current apps.
Which panel does Reparo use for the Poco X5 5G?
We fit a certified 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate and the matching punch-hole cut-out. Before fitting, the panel is checked for colour evenness – no edge cast –, touch response and maximum brightness. The replacement parts are compatible with the Redmi Note 12 5G, which lets Reparo keep a shared parts stock and avoid waiting times.
Poco X5 5G screen broken – edge cast, crack or black?
The Poco X5 5G positions itself as a 5G mid-range device with an AMOLED display, a 120 Hz refresh rate and a punch-hole selfie camera – a combination that keeps gaming and streaming running smoothly. But that very setup becomes a weak point in drops: the edge-panel driver that controls the outermost pixel column sits right behind the display edge and is sensitive to side impacts. When the Poco X5 5G falls on its edge, you often get the characteristic purple colour cast on the right side – not the whole panel, just the outer pixel columns.
A screen replacement for the Poco X5 5G at Reparo runs without a shop visit: pickup service in Vienna or post it in from anywhere in Austria – we replace the AMOLED panel and send the device back. No data loss, no hassle, no shop visit.
Why the purple edge cast on the Poco X5 5G is so common
AMOLED panels drive each pixel column via dedicated driver ICs at the panel edge. On the Poco X5 5G this edge-panel driver sits especially close to the display edge to allow the slim build. An impact on the right side of the device – say, a drop from your trouser pocket – transfers the force directly onto this driver unit. The result: the outermost pixel column gets the wrong voltage values, white tips into purple, blue becomes lilac. The rest of the display stays normal. No software fix and no factory reset can correct this – a panel swap is the only lasting solution.

Frequently asked questions about the Poco X5 5G screen replacement
Poco X5 5G screen replacement — what does it cost at Reparo?
EUR 149 fixed price – incl. a certified 6.67-inch AMOLED panel, fitting and a 6-month warranty. The 25 EUR diagnostic check is waived on repair. No surcharge for the punch-hole cut-out.
What is included in the EUR 149 price?
A certified 6.67-inch AMOLED with 120 Hz, professional fitting, edge-panel driver replacement, colour-evenness test, a touch test across the whole surface, and a 6-month warranty. No hidden costs.
Why does the purple edge cast appear on the Poco X5 5G?
The edge-panel driver that controls the outermost pixel column is damaged by side impacts. White areas tip into purple as a result – but only on the right edge, because the driver IC sits right there. A screen replacement is the only solution.
How long does the screen replacement on the Poco X5 5G take?
Around 2–3 hours. With pickup in Vienna you usually get the device back the same day. With a send-in from the provinces: 1–3 business days from arrival at Reparo.
Does the 120 Hz refresh rate stay after the swap?
Yes. The replacement panel supports the full 120 Hz like the original. After fitting we check the scroll behaviour and the response in gaming apps – smooth and free of line offset.
Can I drop the Poco X5 5G off at your shop?
No walk-in available. Reparo works exclusively via pickup service in Vienna or send-in from anywhere in Austria. Book an appointment or call – everything else runs without a shop visit.
How does the pickup service for the Poco X5 5G in Vienna work?
Book a slot online or by phone, give your address – Reparo comes to you, takes the Poco X5 5G, replaces the display and delivers it back repaired. No travel, no parking, no waiting in a shop. Pickup & delivery starts at EUR 7.90 by district.
Can I send the Poco X5 5G in from Salzburg or Tyrol?
Yes, from anywhere in Austria – Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg, Carinthia, Styria, Upper Austria, Lower Austria and Burgenland. Pack the device securely, send it in, we repair it and return it with insured shipping. Free return shipping Austria-wide.
Will I lose data or game saves during the screen replacement?
No. Only the AMOLED panel is swapped – storage, photos, MIUI accounts, game saves and WhatsApp chats stay exactly as they were. We still recommend a backup beforehand as a precaution.
What warranty is there on the new display?
A 6-month warranty on panel, fitting and touch function. If a problem occurs without external damage – pixel faults, a renewed edge cast, touch failure – Reparo fixes it free of charge.
Original display or premium aftermarket for the Poco X5 5G?
We use certified premium panels, checked before fitting for colour evenness, touch response and 120 Hz stability. In everyday use they're visually indistinguishable from the original. Genuine Xiaomi parts for the Poco X5 5G aren't available on the open market.
Is the repair worth it on a 3-year-old Poco X5 5G?
For EUR 149 the device stays fully usable with 5G, AMOLED and a 5000 mAh battery. A Xiaomi 14 starts at EUR 899 – the screen replacement saves EUR 750. With an isolated fault it's clearly worth it.
What does the diagnosis cost if I just want the damage checked?
Diagnostic check 25 EUR – waived in full on repair. With a clearly visible edge cast or cracked glass, the diagnosis is done within minutes.
What if the Poco X5 5G also has water damage?
The Poco X5 5G has no IP protection rating. We first diagnose whether the display fault was caused by impact alone or by moisture ingress. Diagnostic check 25 EUR, waived on repair. Call ahead – we'll discuss your case.
What if the battery or camera are faulty alongside the display?
We check every component – battery, 48 MP main camera, selfie camera, USB-C charging port, speaker – and show you the overall finding. You decide which repairs go ahead. The total price is confirmed before we start.
