Managed to break the SAMOLED display on my SII, font glass seems fine (good ole gorillia glass!) but I think the digitizer might be damaged too since there are a few dead touch spots (from what I can tell) on part of the screen. There is only a small corner of the actual display working so it's pretty shot
So my question to you guys is where can I get quality yet decent priced parts for the SII? It's an i9100 (originally from Orange UK but being used in New Zealand) I had a look on ebay but all the sellers are selling stuff in the $200+ NZD price bracket (160 USD) I was hoping to get something for under $150 NZD.
Due to the doubt factor of damage to digitizer I'll get a LCD/Digitizer combo, i'm just not sure what's best and where is good to buy from. I bought the phone 2nd hand and i'm happy to take (working) 2nd hand parts to fix it.
So where to buy from and what's a good price?
Thanks guys!

Hi anyone know a place where i can get a replacement screen the at&t one
my gnote ate the floor and cracked on the bottom part of the screen still usable but i would like to replace it....... its a white one and i been finding prices around 200-300 for the replacement if anyone could help me up ill really be happy
On ebay they go for a little less than $300 for the outer glass, led screen, and digitizer. It is all one piece. You can send it into Samsung for them to fix, the cost for that is $197.
These guys can fix it for fairly cheap. They even have a pretty fast turn around. We use them where I work.

Do you contact these guys to get them to quote you a price first? seems like they do a free diagnostic but would be nice to know what it will COST before i send it to them.
Also, not sure if any of those parts they sell is just the glass....the only one that seems to contain the glass is a whole bezel and like $200+
hey guys.
My friend dropped his galaxy s2 and the screen panel broke behind the lcd , the glass hasnt even got a scratch on it.
I want to buy it he will sell it to me for about 200 bucks .ú
Just want to ask the question does it worth it ? or look for else.
I'd like to uprgrade to s2
i don kno ur money conversion ,but only back cover broken is a small issue,check if the phone is good an works well wiv out any damage(physical,software)watch for screen color is it true or has tints,burns well if u don kno much better show the phone to some one whos got brains on sgs2,thts the best thing ,ull come to kno if anything wrong an then its up to u......cheeeerz
an ---wats the topic broken amoled ,wen ur screen has not gone?????
As he mentioned the actual glass part of the screen isn't broken its the thin film behind it. Sadly the replacement is a full screen, glass, digitiser etc etc. Ebay it and weigh it up if 200$ plus the cost of the screen replacement is worth it. I myself would rather invest the my money into a new s3 or something.
See how much a replacement costs plus labor.
For instance you can buy immaculate condition s2 boxed for 400$ where I live.
the screen is blank if you turn it on but you but the phone is working
i guess it will be a sad end of a great phone ... : /
I plan on buying a new digitizer to replace the one on my phone since I manged to scratch it just before my screen protector arrived (there was a backlog of undelivered parcels at my post office, my screen protector should have been there BEFORE my phone -.-)
I'm pretty comfortable with the process of replacing the digitizer, but I've got a quick question (maybe not so quick to be honest.)
We should have all seen (and most likely drooled over) the new colours being released, I was wondering if a digitizer from the US Sprint or Verizon variants of the s3 would fit my uk/international s3? I'd love to get my hands on the silver digitizer and back plate, but I don't want to fork out £200 to find out it doesn't fit!
Is there anyone who could shed some light on this? would carrier specific radios be located on the back of the digitizer or something?
Cheers!
If you buy a new digitiser ..... Don't throw the old one ...I will buy it from you..

i shattered my screen today. It is the first time i have ever broken a screen on a mobile device (10 years)! i really want to make sure i go to the right place to buy a new screen and the threads that came up in the search were old. Amazon reviews seem iffy on everything i look into. i am considering getting the Eco-Fused Screen Replacement Kit for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 off amazon because it seems to have the best reviews. It only has 3 1/2 stars, but 165 votes which is a lot more than any of the others.
i was also considering getting a screen off of Repairs Universe (which was really the only solid suggestion i found on here, but from 4 year old thread).
etradesupplies supposedly offers the OEM Gorilla Glass, which seems like the best way to go, but i am skeptical that it is the real deal.
And if i do wind up just buying the screen, can anyone suggest the cheapest, but very reliable, kit?
Thanks in advance.
PS. This is for a TMobile device n9005
EDIT: i was looking at the wrong phone on eTrade Supplies They don't claim to have the OEM Gorilla Glass, unfortunately. i am still open to buying from them though
Go to a repair shop. I tried replacing screen on my S4 and broke the digitizer. You need experience & tools. I had the UV lamp and UV glue ... watched You Tubes films read tech guides !%**
Just don't do it yourself
In all honesty I'd recommend looking into buying a replacement second hand device and selling the broken one on eBay as spares/repair. I had so much grief trying to fix my S4 when I smashed the screen what with fake glass and waiting for shipping. When I looked into it the price of a second hand device - eBay sale of broken device was pretty close to fixing it myself anyway. Good luck.
Hey there, I hope this is the right place to post this, and if not, I apologize.
The glass in one corner of my S7 Plus tablet is cracked and I am looking to get it fixed, depending on cost. The touchscreen still seems to be unaffected by the broken glass, so I did not think I would need to replace the LCD screen, just the glass.
I contacted a local phone repair place near me to see if I bought a glass panel from Amazon and brought it to them with my tablet if they could do the replacement. They said that it would need to be the glass and LCD screen because they are fused together. The cost of the repair work would be around $130. That did not seem too high to me, but I have never been in this position before, so I have nothing to compare it to.
I have looked online for the cost to get the glass and LCD from Samsung (genuine part would keep the warranty intact from what I have read) and I am only finding pricing for Samsung Australia. That price was around $325 (if I did the conversion right), so I would be looking at over $450 (not counting shipping for the glass and LCD) at minimum.
I am not comfortable trying to replace the glass and LCD myself, so I know my options may be limited. My concern is that for $450 I could instead buy another nice Android tablet (or a Windows one that I can install Linux onto, which I kind of want to do anyways). Is anyone aware of any other replacement options I might be able to try or are worth investigating? This was the one time I did not get the extended warranty from Amazon that would have covered this damage...
Any advice, help, or ideas are greatly appreciated!

You want a OEM part not a CCP knockoff; the display quality may be inferior or have interface issues.
If it's an LCD display a used OEM one should work fine. Those can likely be found for cheap.
Or simply use as is.
Watch a tear down vid. I'm don't think they're fused. Most are not... although I maybe mistaken.

So that was my first thought, but the repair shop said they were fused and when I searched YouTube for repair videos a couple mentioned needed to heat the glass (broken one not the new one) to remove it and then gently remove residue or something. I am not confident in being able to do the repair myself (hands shake too much and really bad carpal tunnel) and am worried I would break it in the process.

Do some more research. If the are available used on ebay, it's not that hard!
Probably a heat gun properly used will do the job fine.
Lots of repair shops around and online; find a less greedy one. Or a knowledgeable tech at church etc willing to help.
Do Not get isopropyl or any solvents near the liquid crystal display!!!
It will poison it. The sides of the panel are not sealed.
Thanks for the advice. I will do some more research and see what I can find. Hopefully, I can figure out something that doesn't cost as much, but will still work well. I am still kicking myself for not putting it in a protective case and getting the extended warranty from Amazon that would have covered this.

I don't think it will be as bad as you think if you get the right person to repair it.
Just be careful with it for now. Make sure all your critical data is redundantly backed up.
I case everything... it's the only reason my devices weren't destroyed long ago.
