I managed to somehow crack my n9’s screen (don’t really know how, was out a bar).

Nokia Care can fix it, but it will cost $250 (Australian). I think I could do it myself, does anybody know of a reliable site for buying OEM spare parts for the N9?

Some time ago I found N9 service manual. This is well written guide on how to open N9 and replace key parts. I am pretty sure some of you can use it:

Yep, it looks easy enough to do. I just need to find the genuine spare part.

Was hoping somebody might have an online store they can recommend

I think you should sell your N9 and buy a $20 phone...

converting that to US$ is $192, palco in Alabama can fix it for you for 178 and thats including shipping charges, if you in USA and don't want to do it yourself its better to send it to palco, myself i bought a screen from eBay and fixed it myself costing me total of $125.99

The screens seem quite expensive. Better take your N9 apart, sell the parts (the USB cover, the shell, the soft cover, the battery and so on) on ebay or in here in the buy/sell forum, add some 50 bucks or more to the total revenue and buy a new phone. You can surely get more money for parts this way plus help a few people in here with spare parts too.

I paid almost 450 euro for my N9. if I was to buy and replace a screen for another 150 EUR (33% of the original price) this is what I'd do.
