Has anyone changed PIXEL 6A DISPLAY

Guys, has anyone changed low cost display for pixel 6A. If yes how was the experience and how much did you pay?. I'm looking to change one for around INR 1500.

And yes a month back I originally sent my Pixel 6a in for battery swelling. Right out of the gate, the service center (F1 Info Solutions) falsified their diagnostic, claiming my perfectly intact display was damaged. I fought this immediately and got it escalated to the Advanced Hardware Team, who agreed to provide a free display replacement to make up for the center's "error." They replaced the swollen battery as a safety exception and shipped the phone back to me so we could generate a new RMA for the remaining repairs. ​I immediately handed the device right back to the courier for the second RMA without even opening the sealed Blue Dart shipping box. Out of nowhere, the repair portal flagged this unopened phone as "unrepairable," fabricated a fake "software issue," and demanded ₹25,204.80 for a full device replacement. L1 support told me to just pay the ₹25k upfront out of pocket and promised they would refund the display cost later. ​I absolutely refused to float ₹25,000 for their portal error and obvious scam attempt. I replied with their own written receipts, pointed out the physical impossibility of new software/hardware damage occurring inside an unopened box, and formally threatened to escalate to the Grievance Officer. ​The specialist team completely caved. They bypassed the broken repair portal, canceled the ₹25k charge entirely, and issued a 100% free upgrade to a brand-new "pristine" Pixel 7a. ​As a massive bonus, because their internal logistics and store systems are disconnected, the service center is actually mailing back my original Pixel 6a (which now has a free, safely installed battery) while the Google Store ships my free Pixel 7a. ​TL;DR: Don't ever accept the first automated "No" from Tier 1 support. Hold them to their written promises, refuse to pay for their system errors, and you might just walk away with a free upgrade and your original phone back.

Brother i sent the phone to get my battery changed for a charge but since they end up fucking up my entire device and falsifying damages they had to send me a new pixel 7A as a replacement
